Chapter 87

• Olivia’s POV
• I smoothed my dress, silently appreciating the way the purple fabric hugged my hips, accentuating my small baby bump. This would be the first time I’d be outside the manor since my pregnancy became visible, and the knowledge that everyone would see that there was life growing inside of me was strangely thrilling. That wasn’t the point of our outing today, but after dreaming of motherhood for so long I figured I was allowed the excitement.
• Still, we had bigger goals for today. Our outing was about more than just making a statement; it was about standing strong in the face of adversity, about being the shield for those who had suffered in silence for too long. It was about making our stance clear.
