"Young lord, I request you to leave thedy alone!" Leo finally turned to look away from Gabrie whose face had turned pale and broke into cold sweats.


    An unnerving feeling filled him too as his hands clenched into a fist! Though he had heard about thendslide as it was a very famous case, he did not know why her expressions changed so drastically!


    She looked like she had seen a ghost!


    "Young master, please!" Under the pressure of the staff who was looking helpless, Leo passedst nce to the trembling woman and left the vi.


    He did not even turn back or nod his head when others greeted him as he sat on his horse that galloped and soon disappeared from there.


    "Do not let hime again! I did not want to see his face!" the staff flinched but nodded his head as Gabrie took hurried steps towards her room as if ghosts were chasing her and closed the door with a thud.


    She opened a locker inside her closet and started throwing everything in it on the floor frantically. After throwing more than half of the things, her hands halted on a small ck box.


    With trembling hands, she took out the box and opened it! It has obsidian stone in it! Taking out a silver chain she wore it hurriedly as if her life was depending on it and then stared at the mirror as if she was waiting for a miracle to happen.


    But when nothing happened even after a long while, her face distorted and she threw the box on the mirror!


    "Shatter!" with a strong bang, the mirror shattered and its shards fell all over the room!


    "You will never be able to hurt me! I have saved your life! You can not hurt me!" she muttered as she shook her head in denial but her body continued to tremble for a long time until she copsed on the floor with no one to attend to her as the door was closed.


    On the other hand, the speed of Leo''s horse slowed down when he saw so many guests in the garden.


    He jumped from his horse and was about to go to the stable when he saw Arden holding the hands of Olivia anding out of the garden.


    He passed them a nce and then walked away as if he did not know both of them when Olivia noticed his presence.


    His eyes gleamed with joy! It has been so many days since she had seen him for thest time. She had befriended Arden so that she could find more chances to be around Leo and find a single chance to show that he was losing diamond for choosing stone!


    Her lips parted as she decided to call them but closed them again as her pride did not let her!


    He was the one who had insulted herst time, if she would call him, he would definitely not heed to her pleadings! He should be the one to call her!


    But how!! She bit her lips so hard that blood started to fill her mouth too and her face started to turn pale! Just why! Why could he not look at her!


    Why could he not see how much she loved him! How could he be so cruel to her! She had not slept for so long! She had not eaten well all the while waiting for him. But he had never cared about her feelings and it hurt her so much that she could not even exin!


    The thoughts started to swirl in her mind like a tsunami that would engulf and drown her soul and her existence! Slowly, her eyes turned blurry and everything turned dark as she epted the darkness that was calling her and closed her eyes!


    "Olivia…!!! Olivia woke up!!" The voice was so frantic and painful that it crushed her heart and that was the onlyst thing she could remember!


    "She is fine! She is just exhausted! I think thedy was not sleeping properly and did not have proper meals in a while. That was why her body had turned weak!


    If she would rest enough and have nutritious meals, she would be better soon! I suggest not irk her in the meanwhile since her pulse is not stable!


    Is there something that is worrying her!" She held the bed sheets tightly in her hands and did not open her eyes when the words fell in her ears.


    Since when had she turned so miserable that even a physician could feel pity for her!


    "I do not think so, but I will take care and talk to her! Thank you!" The sound of footsteps could be heard but she still kept her eyes closed until the sound falteredpletely.


    When she was sure that there was none in the room, she opened her eyes slowly. It was her room! She was already back in the pce without meeting Leo and tomorrow he would be married!


    He would be with someone else and she would never be able to have him! The thought was enough to bring tears in her eyes again when she heard a deep sigh and abruptly turned to the other side!


    She was sure she had heard the sound of her mother and physician and it faltered and it was impossible for her father to be there at this time!


    "You still love him, don''t you!" her eyes widened when she saw Arden sitting on the chair while looking at her intensely!


    "Why are you here?" she looked away as she did not want to see him anymore. He was of no use to her! If he wanted he could have helped her in arranging a meeting with Leo but he never did so!


    But still she did not have the heart to say that on his face. She did not know why, but whenever she looked at his face, guilt and remorse filled her more than before!


    "For you! Since the first day I have been here for you! I thought that you already knew that!


    I thought that you could see that on my face! But I guess we both have some circumstances!


    While the young lord can not see your emotions even when you walk around him with bare feelings on your eyes and face!


    You can not see mine even if a blind could feel them!" she snapped her head back to him with shock filled eyes. It was so wide that her sockets would fall out!


    "Why? Don''t tell me that you did not know that I have feelings for you! Was that not the reason you were trying to take my benefit!" she looked away without saying any word as he sighed again!


    "Do not worry! I am not ming you! I knew that since the start so do not me yourself! Rest well you need it!" with that he stood up and left her stunned from there!


    "Arden, wait!" the words were so low yet he heard it. His steps halted for a second but then it resumed and he soon left her room!


    More tears started to fall from her eyes as her grip on her nket tightened!


    "Since when have you turned so pathetic! Olivia!" a wary smile formed on her face as she tried to wipe her tears but her hands did not move as if they were frozen but the wary smile on her face only increased as she closed her eyes and more tears came out when she heard the footsteps again!


    "Get out! I did not want to meet anyone!" she shouted when a maid entered the room and her steps halted.


    Her eyes fell on the girl who was looking miserable and then on the letter in her hands. She had received a gold coin to deliver it to her before evening! But if she failed.. No! Taking a deep breath, she moved forward and stood in front of the door.


    She hesitated for a second, before opening her mouth with a trembling voice,


    "Mydy, there is a strange letter for you!"
