As Carter escorted Sasha and Raghav out of the studio, Olivia's gaze lingered on the window, her mind consumed by a whirlwind of emotions. She watched in silence as her ex-mother-in-law and father-in-law, Lucius and Meredith, made their way down the street. Memories of a time long gone flooded her mind, threatening to drown her in their wake.

Unable to bear the weight of her past any longer, Olivia made a split-second decision. Ignoring the bewildered looks from her employees, she slipped out the backdoor of the building, her steps faltering as she made her way to her waiting Bentley. With trembling hands, she started the engine and drove aimlessly, tears blurring her vision as she grappled with the sudden upheaval of her carefully constructed life.

Finding solace in the quiet solitude of a nearby park, Olivia allowed herself to succumb to her emotions. She cried until her tears ran dry, the pain of her past crashing over her like a relentless tide. For years, she had buried her pain beneath a facade of strength, but now, faced with the resurgence of her past, she felt more vulnerable than ever before.

After what felt like an eternity, Olivia returned home, her resolve bolstered by a steely determination to shield her loved ones from the storm brewing on the horizon. She greeted her mother and sister with a forced smile, masking the turmoil raging within her heart.

Taking her daughter, Zivia, and her niece, Cara, to the park, Olivia found fleeting moments of respite amidst the laughter of the two young girls. Later, over dinner with her sister Alandra, Olivia tried to push aside the events of the day, but the weight of her secrets threatened to crush her spirit.

Alone with her daughter once more, Olivia tucked Zivia into bed, her heart heavy with the burden of her past. As she watched her daughter drift off to sleep, she couldn't help but fear the inevitable reunion with Zack, her ex-husband, and the potential upheaval it would bring to their lives.

Once Zivia was asleep, Olivia retreated to the solitude of her own room, her composure crumbling as she finally allowed herself to confront the fears and uncertainties that had plagued her for so long. It was then that her sister, sensing her distress, offered her a comforting embrace and a sympathetic ear.

In the quiet sanctuary of the kitchen, Olivia poured out her heart to her mother and sister, recounting the events of the day and the overwhelming sense of dread that had consumed her. Together, they shared a bottle of wine, finding solace in each other's company as they navigated the uncertain path that lay ahead.

As the night wore on, Olivia found a sliver of hope amidst the darkness, knowing that no matter what challenges the future may hold, she would face them with courage and resilience. For now, she took comfort in the love and support of her family, knowing that together, they could weather any storm that came their way.
