Fated To Not Just One But Three novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196: Apology

Olivia’s POV

Anita took a shaky breath and stepped closer, wringing her fingers. "Can you ever forgive me?" she asked, her voice trembling.

I stared at her, not saying anything yet.

"I know I hurt you so badly," she went on, her eyes beginning to shine with tears. But I wasn’t moved by it because it could be fake.

"But everything I did... it came from jealousy. You were always just... special, Olivia. You walked into a room and everyone noticed. You didn’t even try, yet people still saw you."

She looked down, her hands twisting nervously.

"You were beautiful, talented, kind. People listened when you spoke. They cared about you. I felt invisible next to you."

My frown deepened. I never noticed this... I never felt special... except with the triplets, who made me feel that way.

"I’m so sorry." She choked on her tears.

My chest tightened, a part of me remembering the friend I used to have in her.

"I thought you loved me," I said quietly. "We were supposed to be like sisters. What happened?"

She winced at my words like they physically hurt.

"It started with Drake," she whispered.

I blinked. "Drake?"

She nodded slowly, not meeting my eyes. "You remember back when we were younger... I had the biggest crush on him. I even wrote him a letter. Poured my heart out in it."

I remembered that. She told me he rejected her. But that was all.

"What does Drake have to do with you hating me?"

Anita swallowed hard. "I was too humiliated. He didn’t just say he liked someone else. He looked me in the eye and told me he liked you."

My eyes widened.

I had no idea.

"He said you were the only girl who caught his attention," she went on. "Said you were different. I hated hearing that. I felt so... worthless."

I opened my mouth but didn’t know what to say.

"I wanted to hate him," Anita continued. "But instead... I turned that hate toward you. I told myself you didn’t deserve him. That you were just lucky. And it didn’t stop there."

She finally met my eyes again.

"I started seeing how the triplets looked at you too. How Levi always watched you when he thought no one noticed. How Louis followed you with his eyes. How Lennox... well, he was the hardest to read. But he changed around you."

I stood still, speechless.

"I thought if I could make them like me instead... maybe I could finally win. Be seen. So even when I discovered my father was going to set up your father I could have alerted you, but I didn’t... and then my parents used that as an advantage... they told me once my father becomes the next Beta that I will be adored even by the triplets. So I agreed with their plans and turned my back on you."

I swallowed hard.

"And when I realized there was a rift between you and them, I used it as my advantage... I had no idea what made them hate you, but I utilized it..."

I frowned... is she implying she had no idea about the letters sent to them?

She wiped a tear quickly from her cheek.

"I know none of it was right," she said, voice barely above a whisper. "I ruined everything. I lost the only real friend I had. And even now... I still lost. Because even after all the damage, they still love you."

She seemed sincere, but I couldn’t ignore the one thing that didn’t sit right.
