Chapter 22: it's been a while Olie

Olivia walked to Denisa in her room, placing the plate of fruits on the table, she crouched before her "my lady, where were you?"

"It's been a while Olie, how have you been?"

Olivia looks at Denisa her eyes wide open and lips parted in shock, "Esme- " she says in a whisper

Denisa flashes a smile showing her lined teeth "you caught me" she says changing her appearance back to herself.

"wait, how? where is Nes??"

"Nes, she's with someone who can keep her safe"

"what do you mean?"

"she is not safe here Oli"

"but why are you here?"

"I had to come, if not that Clara you hate the most would have given you a hard time"

"sister"

"yes" Esme says holding Olivia's hands in hers and smiles as tears escape her eyes "Oli, Denisa"

"will she be back?"

"No she won't be back, I can't let that happen"

"why?"

"Alexander!"

"don't tell me Alexander Luther wants to use her for the deal"

"yes, he wants to trade my daughter to the devil"
