Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 250: Speak To The Camera

Olivia's POV

The splash of a bucket of water slammedback to consciousness. For a moment, my vision swam, blurry

shapes shifting until my eyes adjusted, and | realized two men were standing right in front of me. My eyes

widened in fear as | looked around and saw | was in a dimly lit, empty room, tied tightly to a chair... my lips

sealed shut.

| watched the two men, who seemed like guards, move aside and a man seated on a seat across fromcame

into view. | stared at him, confused. He wasn't like the others. He looked to be in his early thirties. Clean-shaven,

sharp suit, piercing gray eyes that never left mine. He leaned forward slowly, resting his elbows on his knees.

"You're awake," he said simply, his voice calm. Too calm. | said nothing. | couldn’t—my mouth was taped shut.

He tilted his head slightly, studyinglike | was sstrange puzzle. "You look really pretty," he muttered. "No

wonder Damien married you."

| flinched, not understanding what he meant. He smiled, but it didn’t reach his eyes.

"I'm going to remove the tape," he said. "Don’t scream. There's no one here who'll help you." He nodded at one

of the guards. A second later, the tape was ripped off my lips.

| winced at the pain. | coughed a little, then whispered, "Who are you?"

The man chuckled softly. "Let's just say... I'm one of Damien’s enemies...." | froze.

"What do you want from me?" | asked, my voice weak. He leaned in closer, his eyes narrowing.

"Not much," he said. "Just to use you... as bait. Damien steps down, and | send you back to him... if he doesn’t,

then | kill you."

My eyes widened as everything dawned on me... this was the sman who had Sofia.

"Where is Sofia? Are you holding the both of us?" | asked, panicking... strangely, | wanted to meet her.

The man scoffed. "No.... Since she is not important to Damien, | decided to release her back to him and take you

instead," he said simply.

A gasp escaped my lips as realization sank in. Sofia had been sent back to Damien. That was Damien’s plan all

along, and it had worked. Now | was the bait—and | knew, deep down, Damien would never cfor me.

He stood up, buttoning his coat slowly, never breaking eye contact with me.

"But first," he added smoothly, "I'll be back to make a video of you to send to your husband. If he loves you as

he claims, he'll step down. If he refuses..." He paused, letting the silence settle like a blade at my throat. "Then

I'll kill you and send your body back to him."

A gasp of fear escaped me, but he wasn’t bothered. He just turned to the guards. "Make sure she’s comfortable.

Feed her. Keep her alive. She’s more useful breathing."

And with that... he walked out, leaving only the chill of fear behind. | stared at the door as it slammed shut. The

two tall men stood like statues in front of me... their eyes were blank, like they’d done this a hundred times

before.

| sat there in silence, hours ticking by like years. The guards didn’t speak, didn’t move—they just stood there like

shadows, breathing but lifeless.

My body ached from the awkward position | was tied in. My wrists burned, my shoulders were sore, and my

stomach kept twisting from hunger and dread. But more than anything, it was my heart that hurt. Because

somewhere deep inside... | already knew. Damien wasn’t coming for me. He wouldn't. | was just a piece in his

game. A bait. Not a person worth saving. He had Sofia now. The one he truly loved. The one he thought he lost.

And now that she was back, | was... replaceable. Disposable.

This... this was where | die. The thought settled in my chest like a heavy stone, and | couldn’t stop the tears from

falling quietly down my cheeks. I didn’t sob. | didn’t scream. I just... cried in silence.

Tpassed—I didn’t know how long—and then the door opened again. It was him. The sman from earlier.

He walked in casually, tossing his coat over the back of the chair like we were old friends. Then he pulled out a

phone and handed it to one of the guards.

"Start recording," he said simply.

The guard lifted the phone and pointed it at me. The man walked up and crouched in front ofagain, tilting his

head up at me. Up close, | noticed how handshe was—how that made him all the more terrifying.

"This is your chance," he said softly. "Look into the camera. Cry. Beg Damien to save you. Plead for your life.

Show him how much you need him."

| stared at him for a moment. Then slowly, | turned to face the camera. But | didn’t cry. And | didn’t beg. | stared

straight into the camera, ignoring the burning in my throat, the sting in my eyes. My heart was racing, but my

voice stayed steady.

"I hope one day they find peace. | hope they learn to love without hurting... and live without hate. | hope they

rememberfor who | was before everything fell apart." | hesitated for a second, my voice dropping to a

whisper. "Please... tell them the truth someday. All of it."

Then | turned to the man. "I'm done."

He didn’t move right away. He just... stared at me. His expression unreadable. Then he gestured to the guards

with a sharp flick of his hand.

"Leave us," he ordered.

The two men exchanged glances but obeyed, stepping out and closing the door behind them. Now it was just me

and him. Alone.
