The wind howled outside, mirroring the storm within Olivia. She sat hunched over her desk, staring at the screen, unable to focus. Her mind felt like a tangled mess. She had been putting in long hours at work, and the emotional toll was enormous. She could barely keep her eyes open, all she wanted was to forget. Then, she noticed the package on her desk.

"Olivia Hayes: The Hidden Chapters." The words on the cover seemed to mock her. A biography. The author had done their research and seemingly known everything. Everything. The very thought made her skin crawl.

She felt a crushing sense of weariness, a desire to shut down, to disappear. She didn't want to know what it said. She didn't want to think about it. She didn't want to do anything. She leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes, the world fading away.
