Prologue
Living a lie is easier than confronting your fears.
Plastering a smile on your face and keeping it there is so exhausting, when all you really want to do is curl up in a ball on the floor and cry yourself to sleep.
Which is exactly what Olivia wants to do, but she won't, she never does. She's taught herself how to pretend, how to act as if you don't care about anyone else just yourself because that's what "They" expect.
" They " the bloody vultures of society, they want her soul and she's giving it to them, piece by piece, through every last pain filled fake smile she's dying inside. To show the people who call themselves her friends who she really is, what she really feels, the loneliness, the grief and the pain of losing her family, her mother, father Thomas and Martha Wayne dead, killed by mugger and lowlife Joe Chill. Her brother Bruce left, after Joe Chill was released and killed minutes after the trial ended. He hasn't been heard from since.
It's been six years since he disappeared, nearly seven and now, William Earle the CEO of Wayne Enterprises wants me to declare him dead or he will see to it himself. But he's not dead, if he was she would know, she can feel it in her bones he is alive, he has to be, she can't be the only one left.
It's nearing the end of the year and winter has fully set in, temperatures below freezing. At Wayne Manor the ground is covered in a soft blanket of snow, icicles melting and dripping from window ledges and down window panes.
Inside one of the rooms Olivia Wayne is packing her bags after receiving a phone call from Natasha, the daughter of William Earle and a friend that has always been more a sister than anything inviting her to stay at her mother's private Villa with her and her adopted sister Melody in Tuscany for a couple of weeks.
When Thomas and Martha Wayne were alive they were very good friends of the Earle family. Martha Wayne and Esmé Earle were friends long before they were both married, they knew each other from the cradle and they wanted their daughters to have the same strong friendship as they had. Martha and Esmé both decided to have the other be god mother and the girls even have their middle names. Natasha is the rebellious daughter of the Earle family, Olivia is in dire need of some serious relaxation time so this is just what she needs, to let her hair down.
"Alfred." She calls softly putting the last of her things in her case, and sitting on the bed.
"Yes Miss Wayne?" He replies as he takes her case, zips it shut, then turns to look at her.
"Do you think this is a good idea?" She sighs sadly "I feel like I'm running away from my problems instead of than trying to solve them."
"My Dear, you are doing the right thing by getting out of Gotham, getting away from all the drama queens to spend time with your friends." He smiles warmly at her and takes her hand. "You have grown into a kind and beautiful young women. You are just like your mother."
Olivia looks at him with tears in her eyes. "Oh Alfred, I miss them so much, so much it hurts" She sobs, tears rushing from her bright blue eyes down her delicate cheekbones and dripping from her chin.
Alfred gathers her in his arms and gently rocks her as he did when she was a child. "I know I know I miss them too." He whispers as tears slip down his own cheeks, he wipes his eyes and says "We will never forget them, never."
Hot tears still streaming from her eyes she speaks brimming with emotion "He promised, he promised he wasn't going to leave me, he lied Alfred and I didn't even get to say goodbye" Her voice breaks, she breathes calming herself " We had to find out from Rachel" She exhales angrily swatting away the brown hair blocking her sight.
"Being angry at Rachel won't help anything, you know that don't you?" He says gently pulling away to look at her face and wipe her cheeks "Don't be angry at her over something she can't help." He stands up taking Olivia's hands and pulling her to her feet "Now are you going to this villa or do we have to start unpacking?" He looks at her an eyebrow raised and she knows he's not going to take no for an answer.
Olivia sighs, smiles at him and looks out the window at the blizzard that is slowly forming "Oh go on then, it will probably be torture all that sun" She says sarcastically.
Alfred chuckles "I'm sure you'll cope well enough, Miss Olivia" He says with a quirk of his lips.
Outside in the garage Alfred is giving the car a once over before the drive to the airport, Olivia settles herself down on her father's old work bench watching him work
Olivia smiles softly "Thanks for earlier on Alfred, I'm sorry for being a pain. It's just…" She pauses biting her lip. "It's been so long since I've seen them. I'm nervous, I don't know why their just like family." She takes a calming deep breath and tries to relax.
Olivia sighs in appreciation as the warm Italian sun hits her face, the change in temperature a relief from the freezing cold temperatures in Gotham. Her stomach is jumping with the excitement and a little nervousness at the thought of seeing her best friends again.
Chapter 1
The drive to the villa was long and she fell asleep halfway there. When she woke up she could see the villa gates and the extensive driveway. The villa is huge, and it looks like it costs a heck of a lot to light it, it's a good thing the Earle family are billionaires. When the chauffeur stopped the car Olivia jump out and took the bag held out to her by the chauffeur, smiles and thanks him.
As she walks up to the main entrance, she can hear the squeals of joy and excitement. She gets to the door, it suddenly opens and she is nearly bowled over by a very excited twenty-two year old. Melody, Natasha's adopted sister.
Melody has long, sleek jet black hair, not as long as Olivia's waist length hair. She has bright hazel eyes with a thin gold ring around the pupil. She is 5ft 6 with a petite frame, just a little shorter than Olivia herself. She's wearing a black short skirt with a black vest top and, a black bikini top underneath her shirt.
Another voice sounded from the doorway "Long time no see stranger" Natasha says with a smile. The arms restricting Olivia's breathing disappeared, Melody stepped aside still gripping her arm tightly, near cutting off the blood flow.
Natasha moves forward onto the front porch stepping into the scorching sunlight, she hasn't changed one bit, Olivia thought. Well apart from being taller and paler.
Natasha is 5ft 8 in height, she has a good figure that comes with her extensive training and dedication to dancing and long and curly dark chocolate and auburn hair to her waist, her eyes were a dark forest green with just a twinge of the deepest teal blue with a copper ring around the iris, they sparkle brightly with happiness as she sees her oldest friend who she considers her sister in all but blood. She's wearing dark blue denim shorts, with a white linen sleeveless shirt and a green bikini top; she's wearing gladiator sandals as well. Her top and shorts showed off her figure.
Olivia couldn't help but notice that Natasha was wearing the locket Bruce had gotten her for her birthday the year before he went missing, it has the message 'To Natasha, you will always be my family, love Bruce' engraved on the front of it. Natasha hadn't taken it off since the day Bruce gave her it. She always says the locket is her lucky charm and the best birthday gift she's ever gotten.
"Natasha!" Olivia squeals as she skips over to her, opening her arms wide for a bear hug. She gladly received the hug, hugging Olivia back with the same force as her sister had.
"Can I join in the hug?" Melody asks the pair who just look at her. They space out a little and make room for her to join in their traditional bear hug.
Again.
"I missed you guys" Olivia says wistfully.
Three weeks later
Olivia wants to go home, but she doesn't want to go alone. She wants Natasha and Melody to come with her back to their home city. Natasha always says that she misses Gotham, so maybe she wouldn't be hard to convince into moving back home with her.
Melody is a daddy's girl so Olivia didn't think she would be a problem either. Now the only problem is the girl's mum, Esmé Earle, Natasha's mother wouldn't approve of her daughter and adopted daughter going back to Gotham because of all the violence and criminals. After Olivia talked with Esmé, she knew they would be in safe hands with Olivia and Alfred back at Wayne manor.
