Captivation: Want Nothing But You

"If I told you that Olivia was lying, would you believe me? If I said that I don't know how she hurt her arm, and that she never came to my room, would be you believe me? In fact, would you believe anything I said?" Rachel looked at Victor challengingly.

Her tone was level and calm, as if she didn't care whether he chose to believe her or not.Victor just looked at her and said nothing.It came as no surprise to Rachel when Victor remained silent; she'd been expecting it.But now that she'd accused Olivia of lying, she had to prove it.She'd always lived by those morals; keep quiet when necessary, or defend herself until she could prove she was right.

"Olivia, could you tell me when you came to my room and offered me something to eat? Or better yet, what did you offer me?" Rachel asked with a pleasant smile.

Olivia averted her eyes, choosing instead to stare at a point just past Rachel.

"Well…" she started, "I came to your room about an hour ago.I brought you a glass of milk with cinnamon and honey in it."

"And where is the milk now?" Rachel asked.

"It… It's…" Olivia suddenly lost her nerve and ability to lie.

She'd already planned out how she was going to contradict anything Rachel said, so she couldn't understand why she was suddenly struggling to speak.

"You accused me of throwing a vase at you.Can you tell me how big the vase was? Where I got it from? How hard I threw it? Was it underhand or overhead?"

"It… It was a small vase.And you got it from… I don't know…"

Olivia gave up trying to lie her way through Rachel's questions and turned to Victor with a pitiful expression.

"Mr.Sullivan, I don't know why Rachel is asking me these questions.But do you think it's really necessary? Surely you don't think I would have cut my own arm?" Victor kept his expression perfectly neutral.

"Answer her questions," he said blandly.

"Wh-? Mr.Sullivan?"

Olivia's eyes widened in disbelief.She stared at Victor like he'd suddenly turned a different color.

Rachel stayed quiet and watched the two of them.She was beginning to think her previous assumptions were right; perhaps there was something wrong with Victor's brain.

Olivia started to cave under the assault of Victor's cold stare.

Tears sprung to her eyes as all the color drained from her face.

"I…" she said in a trembling voice.

"I can't remember."

"That's alright.Let me ask you this one last question, just to make things easier," Rachel said with a triumphant smile.

"Was there water in the vase when I threw it at you?"

Olivia's heart was pounding so fiercely in her chest that she could barely concentrate.

Without thinking, she answered, "Yes.There was water in it."
