Olivia's POV
The drive to Gabriel's home was tense. My fingers tapped restlessly on my lap as doubt crept into my mind. Was I really doing the right thing? A part of me wanted to tell the driver to stop so I could jump out and run. But I shook the thought away. Gabriel seemed like a kind man. And besides, I wouldn't be staying long—just a week at most.
I glanced down at the bracelet around my wrist and swallowed hard. It had been thoughtful of them to give it to me. And somehow, it made me wonder if I'd ever see them again. How strange life was. Those men were my entire world growing up. I couldn't imagine life without them. And yet here I was… leaving them behind.
The loud sound of the gate opening pulled me from my thoughts. I looked ahead as the car drove into the compound. I had been here once before, so the place wasn't new, but what surprised me was the scene waiting for me.
