The Beginning Of All Sins

Ana had no intention of covering for Tyler. She was there to reveal everything and disrupt whatever

existed between Naomi and her son.

“What were you guys talking about?” Naomi asked, peeking through the partly open door.

Olivia turned first, her face turning pale. Tyler followed, and he frowned.

Ana glanced up and smirked. “Well, why don’t you take a guess?”

Olivia sensed trouble brewing. She reached for Ana’s hand. “Please, don’t do this to her. Don’t hurt her… please!”

Her plea was barely audible, but Ana heard it clearly. She smirked triumphantly. Her only goal was to teach Olivia a lesson she wouldn’t forget, and it seemed to be working just as she intended.

Ana’s expression softened slightly as she replied, “Fine then. Seeing you so distraught, I’ll do you a favor just this once. Go inside and keep your sister company. I’ll stay out here.”

Releasing Ana’s hand, Olivia stumbled back.

Ana turned to Tyler, locking eyes with him in a tense exchange. “I suppose there’s no need for me to talk to Naomi today,” she said with a confident smile before leaving.

Feeling as though she’d been caught in a scandal, Olivia looked at Naomi, still flustered, What could she possibly say now?

Naomi was still waiting for an explanation.

Approaching Naomi calmly, Tyler spoke up, “We had a disagreement. Did Ana upset you?”

Naomi’s expression gradually relaxed. “I… No. She was just sitting there without a word. I mean, what can she possibly do to me while I’m in this state?”

Olivia’s greatest fear was Naomi overhearing Ana’s words, but judging by her sister’s reaction, it seemed she had only been mildly startled.

Taking Tyler’s hand, Naomi confessed, “I… I feel a bit uneasy.”

He squeezed her hand. “Don’t be. I’m here with you.

Naomi sighed, looking fragile as if a gust of wind could knock her over.

Tyler enveloped her in a comforting hug. “It’s alright now.”

Watching them, Olivia felt a pang of unease. She couldn’t understand why Ana would say such things, nor why Tyler hadn’t objected. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

After a moment in Tyler’s embrace, Naomi beckoned Olivia closer. “Come here, Olivia. Don’t just

stand there.”

Olivia approached her a little apprehensively. Naomi, about to say something more, noticed the bracelet on her sister’s wrist.

Tyler followed Naomi’s gaze, observing quietly for any reaction.

Olivia had not noticed Naomi’s attention until it was too late. She covered the bracelet with her other hand and stammered, “Er, this? It’s…uh…“.

Naomi appeared surprised. “Did Maisy give you that? Have you been to the Harrises‘?”

Before Olivia could respond, Tyler intervened, “Yes, my grandmother gave it to her during a visit.
