Kapitel 125: Chapter 125: The Melody

**Ellis POV

Even I couldn’t fully understand what compelled me to help Olivia Richardson that night.

But, absolutely nothing had felt right since I left the hospital until I was able to hold her in my arms and claim her. I knew that Brenda would be suspicious of my actions and was prepared to hear her complaints once we were securely in the car.

That was one of the many attributes about Brenda I appreciated. She was determined and ambitious but also very discreet. She was the perfect woman, born and raised to marry into a family like the Petersons. She was a great partner and asset to have by my side.

I knew she probably meant well by advising me against giving Olivia the time of day. But, I couldn’t rule out the possibility that this advice came more from a place of jealousy as well.
