329. Tyson - Revelations VII

**it's 7 because I had other revelations chapters. buckle up for this one**

How the fuck can Olivia be the Anti-Christ with how sweet and generous she is? Maddox has been telling us bullshit, and I was starting to believe him. "What do you mean she is Jon and Khloe's biological daughter?" I still can't wrap my head around it.

Yan moves closer to Maddox and me. "We need to know about the Anti-Christ."

"We have the entire day to find out everything Maddox knows," I snarl in annoyance because right now, I need to know about Jon and Khloe. It's more than important to me. It will explain why Olivia's maternal grandparents loved her so much. or why Jon was going to let Olivia and me take his family after we got married. No wonder he kept insisting on talking to me even after I made it clear to him never to bother me again. Even after I blocked him on everything, he called me from other numbers until I got a restraining order against him. The worst part is that I deleted all his contact info, and I have no clue how to get ahold of him.

Maddox shrugs. "Jon and Khloe had problems conceiving, so they turned to Azael for help. Khloe has MRKH syndrome, so it was impossible for her to get pregnant." "What the fuck is MRKH syndrome?" Rueben asks.

Maddox looks at Rueben like he's stupid. "Women who have this condition are usually born with functioning ovaries and fallopian tubes but have a blocked or missing upper vagina, cervix, and uterus. Azael extracted eggs from Khloe and fertilized them with Jon's spermatozoids. In the end, only two embryos were valid. One of them was implanted in a surrogate, and that's how their daughter, Hannah, was born. They invested all their love and time into raising her, but Hannah was always a cold woman. She and Senator Deymar are a match made in Heaven because not even Lucifer would have foreseen the two of them together. As for Olivia's third DNA splice, his identity is a mystery. Jon and Khloe changed their opinion about having a second child and asked Azael to destroy the second embryo, which obviously, he didn't do."

Thank fuck, because otherwise Olivia wouldn't have been born. I wouldn't have met her and fallen in love with her. I would have missed her even if she had never existed. "For once in his existence, Azael did something right," I say. "How did Hannah end up being the one giving birth to Olivia and raising her? Do Jon and Khloe know?"

"Azael wants to break the gates of Heaven and conquer it. For that, he needs someone who's a direct descendant of Pandora," Maddox replies.

It all goes back to what Ansel revealed about Pandora. "He wanted someone who could wield the twin daggers," I draw out a conclusion. Maddox nods. "After years of digging, Azael found the last direct descendent of Pandora. It was from this person that he took a DNA sample and used it in Olivia's creation. To ensure that Olivia would be not only the weapon he thought she would be but also possibly the most powerful hellstar ever to be born, he used Hannah as a surrogate. Hannah comes from a long line of hellstars, and while she isn't one, Azael always believed Khloe was one. He took blood samples from Khloe to look for a component only found in hellstars. Traces of that component were found, but not enough to make him believe she was a hellstar like her mother was. Hellstars were also in Jon's family. It's easy to understand how extraordinary Olivia is. She is not only a hellstar but also Pandora's heir because Azael manipulated fate." Maddox sounds almost as if he's admiring Azael.

I want to make him choke on his teeth. How the fuck can he believe that anything Azael did is worthy of admiration? Olivia is the only marvelous thing he did in his entire existence, even if her initial purpose was evil. "What's this component you mention?" Rin wants to know.

"Divine power. It's what makes the hellstars...unique. But Olivia? She's one of a kind. Suppose Khloe is indeed a hellstar, and Jon is her mate, combined with all the other hellstar cases from their respective families. In that case, Olivia not only has the ability to heal people, but she can bring back those who died recently."

Rueben's hand flies to the scar on his neck. "Repeat that."

Jasper told us about Olivia bringing back Rueben. He wasn't sure of it, but he couldn't explain what happened while he was performing CPR on Rueben. We thought it was bullshit that Jasper was trying to make Olivia take all the credit for what he did. When Rueben thanked Jasper for saving his life, Olivia kept quiet. How many more times did she do the same? How many more times did she do something for us, and we dismissed her?

"Olivia can resurrect people."

Rueben starts pacing around the room while Rin looks pale as fuck. "What if several weeks have passed? Can she bring someone who...."

Rin doesn't finish the sentence, but there's no need, as Maddox says, "Someone who is in an advanced state of decomposition?" "Yeah," Rin's voice is hoarse.

I know why he's asking. Because of Levi.

Maddox's voice drops as he narrows his eyes while talking, "Although the cold winter ground might have slowed down the process. But to reply: I have no idea. Maybe she can, but who can tell what that person would be like after being dead for so long? Are they only animated corpses or who they used to be?"

Rin kicks a chair while cursing out loud. "She tried to tell us, but we mocked her. We made her run away. Fuck! She could have brought Levi, Isak, and Gavin back, but now it's too late." Rueben runs both his hands through his hair before feeling around his pocket. "I need a cigarette." He needs to kiss Olivia's feet daily for saving his sorry ass. "Who has one?" The rest of us shake our heads.

Since Maddox turned out to be our rat, we will need to find another way to buy our favorite brand of cigarettes. Damn! I feel like smoking as well. "Call Ansel and tell him to bring several packs with him. God knows we need them."

Rueben pulls out his phone and dials Ansel's number, who picks up on the third ring. He puts it on speaker. "Where are you?" he barks on the phone. "What the fuck crawled up your ass?" Ansel asks.

Rueben exhales loudly. "I need some cigarettes to calm down. Maddox might be a fucking traitor, but he made me realize something important." "What?" Ansel wonders.

"I owe my life to Olivia. How long until you get here?"

Ansel takes a moment to reply, "About an hour or so. Stefan is driving fast. Alekos and the others are ahead of us, so they will get there first. Maybe he has cigarettes." "We don't smoke," Stefan's voice is heard in the background.

While Rueben is busy cursing under his breath, I say to Ansel, "Let me fill you and Stefan in really quick about what Maddox said so far."
