The Beginning Of All Sins

Tyler could tell. Olivia often stayed in her room, since she didn't really know anyone else in the Harris family.

"Well, she's in luck. I'm a bit tired from the meeting, and Olivia is just the best companion for a walk," he said. "Come on, I'll show you around."

He gently lifted Olivia's chin as she nodded in agreement.

Outside, Camilla began preparations. Suddenly, an announcement made everyone stop-no one was to go above the 14th floor. It puzzled everyone.

Tyler stood up after the announcement. He smiled at Olivia. "I'm going to help you get to know this place. Then you'll know where to find me next time you come."

"You used to bring afternoon tea to Mr. Tyler, Ms. Olivia!" Alisa chimed in.

Olivia looked at her, puzzled. All her memories of the past seemed to be shaped by the stories they told her. It seemed like they had been a loving couple. How did they meet? How did they end up married? Was it love at first sight, like in the movies? Was this their happy ending?

Just then, a cat darted out of nowhere to Olivia's feet. Surprised, she jumped into Tyler's arms.

Two security guards appeared from the elevator with nets, clearly trying to catch the stray cat. They looked up, surprised.

Others were in the elevator too-Naomi and her mother. They looked out, puzzled by the silence that followed the commotion.

Olivia hid her face in Tyler's chest and wouldn't look up. He hugged her and frowned at the stray cat.

"It's okay," he reassured, stroking her back and sending the guards away for the moment. He gently lifted her face holding her chin delicately, and said, "It was just a little kitt cat."

The guards stood frozen by the elevator, still in shock.
