"Olivia" his voice is a hushed sound
"Olivia" he calls again softly as he shakes me gently
"Wake up, sleepyhead" he calls
"Olivia" he calls again
"Alright, alright, I'm up" I groan, my eyes still closed
"Olivia" he keeps shaking me
"Leave me alone" I growl angrily, my eyes flying open.
My eyes scan the environment and that's when I realize who he is.
"I'm so sorry, Sir" I apologize quickly, standing up immediately.
"Relax, it's fine" he says, his lips turned upward in an amused expression.
I nod and wait for him to make the next move but he does nothing.
1 minute..still nothing
2 minutes...still nothing
5 minutes...nothing
He just sits there on the bed, staring.

“Good morning, Mr. Trev" I beam at Anthony who shoots me a weird look."You know...Trevelyan¿...Trev" I explain but his expression just remains emotionless."Just forget it" I huff.Yeah, you guessed it. I woke up feeling extra happy today."I'm going for a morning run by the way" I inform, grabbing a pair of running shorts and matching sports bra from my suitcase."You don't even know the area" he frowns."Your point is?" I ask as I neatly arrange my suitcase and tuck it away."Why would you go jogging in a place you don't know?"I stroll into the bathroom to get dressed.He’s looking at me with expectant eyes when I stroll back out and I know he’s waiting on that answer."Doctor Greene says the exercis
“How is she?”“She’s stable but because of the stress she went through, she’s a little drained”“But she’s okay right?”I hear soft whispers around me. I hate it when people talk when I’m trying to sleep.Do they not see a soul that needs resting?Wait, where am I?Resisting the urge to yell at the source of the voices, I squint my eyes open slowly. I expect it to be burned by the early morning sun but it’s not. I open my eyes further and I realize that it’s dark outside.I’m back in the hotel room.Memories of what happened this morning comes rushing in and I’m filled with sudden fear as I remember me passing out.“My Baby. Is my baby okay? Tell me my baby is okay!”I hear a beeping go off next to me. It’s a heart monitor.“Relax, Olivia, you need to rest” Anthony say
"All the redundancy packages concluded?" I hear Anthony ask.Slowly, I open my eyes.He's sitting on the couch in the bedroom, his phone pressed against his ear."And the cost?..." He whistles between his teeth. "Sheesh...that was one expensive mistake..."I sit up, rubbing my eyes with the back of my index."And Conner?...Have Piper send me the schematics. Conner said he'd cracked the problem..." He finally notices me, he sends me a small tight-lipped smile of acknowledgement which I roll my eyes at."There's a plot of land here that I'm interested in but I want to see what Maldives will offer if we move in....Yeah, get Mark to call..." he wanders out of the bedroom. I assume it's so I can no longer hear his conversation.I get off the bed and open up my suitcase to grab some clothes.Deciding on some leggings and a big hoody, I shuffle into the ba
The cool wind hits my face, blowing my hair in several directions as I stand by the sea shore, staring vaguely into the deep, blue water and wondering if I’ll have a baby girl or boy...and if Anthony will still be a father to him or her...and of I’ll meet the man of my dreams someday who will love not just me but everything that comes with me including my child.My mind wanders to the time I lashed out at Anthony. The thought sends a shrill down my spine. I don’t know what came over me...what the hell was I even mad about?‘The fact that he chose not to kiss you’ my subconscious supplies, batting her lashes innocently. I shut her out but even I know she’s kinda right.But why? Why would I be mad that he didn’t kiss me?It must be the pregnancy. Hormones...that’s a logical explanation right?‘Wrong. Completely wrong...you want to know why? I’ll tell you...’ my subconscious resurfaces and I
I've been in my bedroom since yesterday, avoiding Anthony.The beach house, unlike the hotel has 2 bedrooms and we don't have to use the same bathroom which is a big help when you're trying to avoid someone.That works for a while. I've just pulled on some sweats when..."Olivia?" Anthony calls from the other side of the door."Um...yeah?" I call back quietly."I ordered breakfast" he informs, dryly "Come have some before it goes cold"I hear him walking away.Do I want to? I mean, yes I'm hungry but do I want to see him.What am I doing? Olivia Hart fears nothing'Even a little kiss?' My subconscious tauntsShe's right, it was just a little kiss, doesn't mean anything.But why did it affect me the way it did though?
He's here, in front of me 8 years later...and he's married to her.He was mine...and now he's hers.She stole him from me.'He was never yours' my subconscious reminds me.'Yes, he was' I reply.'You never said yes' says my subconscious.Peter was a nerd back in high school. He was never noticed by anyone especially Molly...she never even knew he existed until he started hanging out with me.She's always wanted everything I had, that's the main reason we never got along.Back in the day, I was a real menace, caused a ruckus everywhere I went...got detention most times...Liam had to cover for me a lot (got in so much trouble because of me) but nobody could blame me; I was going through a really tough time and everybody respected that.It was fruitless to try to make me see reason but t
It's been one week in Maldives and we leave tonight.I know I didn't want to come on this trip before but now, I'm so glad I did...not like I had a choice anyway.Anthony and I have become a lot more comfortable with each other.Funny how I never wondered about his mother...apparently, she's abroad somewhere and he named Grace Manufactures and Holdings after her.He loves her a lot and she loves him too...much unlike my mom."Liv?" Anthony calls out."Out here" I call back.I'm sitting on a lounge chair, sipping a glass of lemon juice, dressed in an Ekouaer Pajamas Set which I just purchased. It's black with the caption 'Let Me Sleep' and I just love it."Hi" I smile when he comes into view."You know your baby bump's starting to show" he observes.I look down at my growing belly and place a hand over it."It is, isn't it? Who knew pregnancy would look so cool on me?" I muse."What should we na
We're back in New York. Mr. Wayne, the same pilot from before just announced that."Ready?" Anthony says to me softly.I nod and follow closely behind him.Mr Wayne is outside when we get out with a woman pilot, who is blonde."Mr Trevelyan. Mrs Trevelyan" Mr Wayne bows politely."Hi, Scott" I smile, dropping the formality.His looks surprised for a second but recovers quickly."Hello, Mrs Trevelyan" he smiles, politely."Just call me Olivia""Not if you still want to keep your job" Anthony growls, shooting Scott the most piercing glare.Scott clears his throat awkwardly and I feel bad for him.Why's Anthony such a dick?Anthony strides elegantly away from us"He's just jealous" I say to Scott, loud enough for Anthony to hear "he's very um...possessive so
