He froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long moment, he said nothing, his mind clearly racing, calculating, weighing his options.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally he nodded. \"...Fine. I’ll tell you everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.........\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice trembled as he began. \"It started with my father... and his affair.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia listened, her expression unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My dad... he was seeing another woman. He wanted to divorce my mother for a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man swallowed hard, his throat dry. \"But my mother... she found out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bitter, broken laugh escaped him. \"And she didn’t just confront him... she exposed the mistress publicly. At her workplace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia’s brows furrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The humiliation was too much,\" he continued. \"The mistress... she couldn’t take it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice dropped to a whisper. \"She killed herself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A heavy silence followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And when my father found out...\" His fists clenched despite the cuffs. \"He lost it. Completely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Revenge,’ Olivia thought instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He started digging into my mother’s life,\" the son continued, his voice shaking. \"Looking for anything he could use against her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And he found it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia’s gaze sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Videos,\" the man said, his face twisting in disgust and fear. \"Horrible videos. My mother... abusing animals... hurting them for no reason...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then added, his voice barely audible, \"Even... taking advantage of a young boy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia’s jaw tightened, but she remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My father recorded everything,\" he continued quickly, as if wanting to get it over with. \"Then he sent those videos to her... anonymously.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And he threatened her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breathing grew uneven again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He told her that if she didn’t run on the treadmill for two hours every day... he would send those videos to the police.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia’s eyes flickered slightly. ’So that’s why she kept running...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He even told her to act normal,\" the son added. \"To never let anyone suspect she was being blackmailed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia recalled the footage, the calm face, the steady pace. It all fit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then... \"There’s more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The son’s voice dropped again. \"My father... he didn’t just want to scare her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia’s gaze turned cold. \"He planned everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man’s shoulders trembled violently now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before she went to the gym... he made her a protein shake. Said it would help her stamina.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lips quivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But he mixed something into it... some kind of drug that speeds up the heart rate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia’s fingers tightened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When she started running...\" his voice cracked, \"her heart couldn’t handle it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She kept going... because she was scared. Two hours... every day... And then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shut his eyes tightly, tears slipping down his cheeks. \"She had a heart attack. And she died.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia exhaled slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So it was murder... disguised as coercion.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I found out by accident,\" the son whispered. \"I wasn’t supposed to know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a broken laugh. \"But when I did... I panicked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My father...\" his voice trembled again, \"he warned me. Said if I told anyone... he’d pin everything on me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia’s eyes darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I believed him,\" he admitted, his head dropping. \"I was scared... so I stayed quiet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But even that wasn’t enough for him,\" he added bitterly. \"He erased everything, messages, traces, any evidence that could lead back to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia stood there for a moment. A faint smirk appeared on her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’You cleaned everything... but you forgot one thing.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, she dragged the son along and proceeded with the arrests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The father didn’t resist much when she confronted him, perhaps because, deep down, he knew it was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them were taken into custody.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with that... The case was complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Olivia submitted her report, she felt relieved. Her efforts didn’t go unnoticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was awarded the rank she had been striving for. Transferred directly... To the main department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place she had always aimed for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing there, in her new position, Olivia felt something stir inside her chest. A quiet satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before all of this... she had been a painter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then cybersecurity. And now... A full-fledged officer in the main division. ’I’ve come... this far.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis arrived almost immediately after hearing the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Olivia saw him this time... She didn’t push him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, a faint smile appeared on her lips. \"So... you came.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis nodded, a grin spreading across his face. \"Of course. I had to see the Ice Princess after her victory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia rolled her eyes slightly, but didn’t argue. \"Tonight,\" she said calmly, \"I’ll treat you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis blinked, then laughed. \"Wow... I finally won your favor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dinner was quieter than expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia looked at him after a while. \"You’re smart. You could’ve joined the police too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head slightly. \"Why didn’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis’s smile faded just a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What to do?\" he said lightly. \"My family background wouldn’t allow it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia’s eyes narrowed. \"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned forward slightly, her gaze sharp. \"What... are you from some kind of criminal family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis went silent. The pause itself was an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia’s eyes sharpened further. \"Did I hit a nerve?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis chuckled softly, though there was a hint of tension now. \"I didn’t say that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked at her. \"Want a drink?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Olivia didn’t let it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She met his gaze directly. \"Answer me. Is your family... a criminal one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis finally looked at her properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What if it is?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia paused. Then she spoke, her voice steady. \"That depends on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you knowingly stayed with them... even after understanding what they are...\" her tone hardened slightly, \"then I’d look down on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned back. \"But... If you tried to break free... or you’re still trying ...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze softened just a fraction. \"Then I’d say you have a character... as valuable as gold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Louis just stared at her. Then... he laughed quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And finally told her everything. About his mafia family. About cutting ties. About being seen as a threat even now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he finished, Olivia looked at him differently. Not with suspicion. Not with judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with a faint, quiet sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t expect...\" she murmured softly, \"that someone as cheerful as you... had such a past.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing those words, Louis simply shrugged, as if the weight of his past meant nothing to him anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn’t really matter,\" he said lightly, though there was a faint tiredness hidden beneath his tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Olivia, his eyes carrying a subtle curiosity. \"So... do you feel pity for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia didn’t hesitate. She gave a small nod. \"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment, silence lingered between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Louis’s lips curved into a teasing smile, his eyes glinting mischievously. \"In that case... can I ask for a kiss?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then... a soft chuckle escaped her, her expression turning dangerously calm. \"What do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slowly lifted her foot just slightly, her voice laced with mock threat. \"I’m thinking of taking off my sandal and hitting you with it instead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis laughed, the sound warm and unrestrained. \"You’re still as fiery as ever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dinner, the two of them stepped out into the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oddly enough... They didn’t talk like people who had just shared such a personal conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, there was distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not physical... But something quieter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them were lost in their own thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why did I say that?’ Olivia wondered briefly, her fingers brushing lightly against her arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She didn’t push me away...’ Louis thought, his gaze flickering toward her before quickly looking ahead again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they arrived outside Olivia’s building. The car came to a stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The engine fell silent. For a moment, neither of them moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they stepped out. Louis turned toward her. His gaze lingered. Olivia noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart skipped, just slightly. Before she could say anything... He stepped closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And closer. The space between them disappeared in a heartbeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia’s breath hitched. ’What is he...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the thought didn’t finish. Because she understood. And instead of pulling away...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She closed her eyes. ’...I’m not stopping him.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the truth was... despite her sharp words, despite her guarded nature... Louis had already found his way into her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through his persistence. Through his honesty. Through the quiet way he stood beside her without forcing anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis hesitated for the briefest moment, as if giving her a chance to step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t. So gently... He leaned in. Their lips met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world around them seemed to fade, the distant noise and the flickering lights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not for everyone. A short distance away... Miller stood frozen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his hands was a small container, the faint aroma of homemade food still clinging to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had come with a simple intention... To give Olivia something he had made himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something warm. Something thoughtful. But instead... He had seen this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers tightened around the container, the plastic crinkling softly under the pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...So this is how it ends.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision blurred. He had always known. Deep down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen the way Olivia looked at Louis was different. Subtle. But undeniable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She was never looking at me... the same way.’\u003C\u002Fp>",1516,"2026-06-06T04:03:52.406Z",1,"novelbin.me","cc91069c06206af21bce1a2c0a965a2e0d9b29e46150b95c48ceb5798c42de7b","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-564","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-562",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
