As Zack led Olivia out of the house in a hurry, Olivia's heart raced with apprehension, wondering if he had somehow discovered the existence of Zivia, their three-year-old daughter hidden from Zack and his family. They reached Olivia's driveway, and Zack began to pace back and forth, his brows furrowed in deep thought. Olivia stood rooted to the spot, her mind swirling with a mix of emotions.

"What's going on, Zack?" Olivia finally asked, her voice betraying her nervousness.

Zack stopped pacing and turned to face her, his expression tense. "We need to talk, Olivia," he said, his tone serious.

Olivia's heart skipped a beat at his words, her mind racing with possibilities. Had he finally found out about Zivia? Was he here to confront her about their secret daughter?

Trying to steady her nerves, Olivia met Zack's gaze, her stomach churning with anxiety. "What do you want to talk about?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Zack hesitated for a moment before speaking, his eyes searching hers. "I don't want you involved in Sasha's wedding planning," he finally said, his words catching Olivia off guard.

Olivia blinked in surprise, her mind struggling to process Zack's sudden request. "But... why?" she stammered, her confusion evident.

Zack sighed, running a hand through his hair in frustration. "I just don't think it's appropriate for you to be meddling in our family affairs," he explained, his tone firm.

Feeling a mixture of hurt and indignation, Olivia squared her shoulders, her resolve hardening. "Sasha gave us the right to plan their wedding," she insisted, her voice steady despite the turmoil inside her.

Zack's jaw clenched, his gaze narrowing on Olivia. "I don't care what Sasha said. You and your company have no business interfering in our family's affairs," he shot back, his tone final.

Olivia felt a surge of frustration rise within her, but she knew there was no reasoning with Zack when he was in this mood. With a resigned sigh, she watched as he climbed back into his sleek Rolls Royce and drove away, leaving her standing alone in the wake of his departure.

As the sound of Zack's car faded into the distance, Olivia felt a wave of relief wash over her. But beneath the surface, a sense of unease lingered, knowing that Zack's suspicions had been aroused.

Hurrying back into her house, Olivia immediately sought solace in the comforting embrace of her mother, Eloise. Holding Zivia tightly in her arms, Olivia couldn't hold back the tears that threatened to spill over.

"It's okay, sweetheart," Eloise whispered soothingly, pressing a gentle kiss to Olivia's forehead.

Sniffling, Olivia forced a watery smile for Zivia's sake, determined not to let her daughter sense her distress. "Let's make some pizzas, shall we?" she suggested, her voice quivering slightly.

With Zivia eagerly helping out in the kitchen, Olivia tried to push aside her worries, focusing on the simple pleasure of spending time with her daughter and mother.

But deep down, Olivia knew that Zack's sudden visit was just the beginning of a storm that was brewing on the horizon. And as she prepared to face the challenges ahead, she couldn't shake the feeling that her carefully guarded secrets were on the verge of being exposed.
