last update 최신 업데이트: 2025-06-27 17:27:36

Perhaps the best part of Olivia’s mornings was waking up in Desmond’s arms. He kissed her forehead, as he always did, then got up and started getting ready for his day. Desmond Wrightwood lived a busy life and today was going to be even busier because he was taking Laurel to work with him.

The little girl had requested it and Desmond readily agreed, after seeking the doctor’s consent. The doctor saw no problem in a day of fun for Laurel, so he assigned a nurse to go with them. Desmond would pick Laurel up from the hospital that morning and they would spend the rest of the day at his office.

“Take as many pictures as you can.” Olivia said to Desmond as they ate breakfast.

“My assistant will handle that. My job is to make sure she has a good time.” Desmond replied.

Olivia smiled at Desmond admiringly, convinced that heaven sent him to her. Her ex-husband had never taken their daughter to work with him.

“This means a lot, Desmond.” Olivia spoke, fighting

  • Caught Between Two Billionaires    Gilbert Technologies 60th Anniversary

    Olivia settled in the car beside Laurel. They were both dressed exquisitely for the anniversary event. The much anticipated day had finally come. “How do you feel, sweetheart?” Olivia asked Laurel. Laurel was adequately prepared for the event, with enough medication and a nurse who would tend to her medical needs. “I am okay. I want to see daddy.” Laurel said. Olivia adjusted the scarf wrapped around the little girl’s head. “You will see him tonight. In fact, Mr. Desmond is also going to be present tonight. Would you like that?” Laurel grinned. “I will like that very much, mummy.” The little girl rested her head on her mother’s arm. “Thank you, mummy.” “Why are you thanking me, darling?” Olivia asked. “For making me see daddy and Mr. Desmond again.” Laurel answered. Olivia smiled at her daughter. “I cannot take the credit for that, my love.” She spoke softly. “They returned because they wanted to see you. Your daddy and Mr. Desm

  • Caught Between Two Billionaires    The Agreement

    Olivia felt victorious. She had managed to convince Desmond to show up for Gilbert Technologies’ anniversary event, a feat she never imagined she would achieve. Although she had unfairly used the retraining order against him, it was a win nonetheless. She had a second task to perform; she had to inform Sebastian of her plans. While having Desmond attend the anniversary event was in the company’s best interest, Olivia doubted that Sebastian would be excited by the idea of hosting his half-brother. Olivia led Desmond into Laurel’s hospital room, where Sebastian was seated. “We need to talk.” Olivia said, the moment she walked in with Desmond following her reluctantly. Sebastian sighed. “If it involves this scumbag, I would rather not.” “You need to stop calling each other names.” Olivia said. “Especially since we are going to need to convince the public that you are not enemies.” “What are you talking about?” Sebastian asked, confused. Olivia started explaining her

  • Caught Between Two Billionaires    Olivia's Plan

    Olivia silently prayed that convincing Desmond would be easy. “I assume you know how publicity works.” Olivia started slowly. “Publicity can build or break a firm. The right publicity can make any product or firm skyrocket. The wrong one can break a firm. Just like the divorce and the charges of domestic violence and child neglect levied against Sebastian.” “Again, that was completely his fault.” Desmond chided. “Gilbert Technologies needs great publicity and I have a brilliant plan.” Olivia said. “I’m listening.” Desmond urged her to continue speaking. “Gilbert Technologies’ anniversary is in exactly four days. They planned to launch a device on that day, but---" “Obviously it would flop in the markets.” Desmond said, completing her sentence for her. “Precisely.” Olivia agreed. “But not if they have the right publicity.” Now, Desmond was really interested. “What do you have in mind that could possibly make people look upon the co

  • Caught Between Two Billionaires    Acceptance

    Olivia watched Sebastian closely as he sat, processing the information he had just received. She let him think about it for half an hour without interruption. “Hey.” She said as she joined him on the couch. Desmond had excused himself long ago, not thrilled by Sebastian’s sulky mood. Sebastian simply nodded in response. His hands were clasped together and his head was bent solemnly. “Are you okay?” Olivia asked. “I just found out that my biggest enemy is my half-brother. Do you think I’m okay?” He retorted. Olivia sighed. “I understand. It’s not the greatest news.” “Is that why he has been opposing Gilbert Technologies at every turn? Competing with me? Was his way of exerting some sort of revenge?” Sebastian asked. Olivia nodded in response, prompting him to continue. “That is crazy. Do you not see how evil and unhinged he is?” Olivia immediately sprang to Desmond’s defense. “Your mother started the fire that destroyed his home.”

  • Caught Between Two Billionaires    The Revelation

    Sebastian stared at Olivia with the photograph in his hand. “This is my father.” He stated. “And if I am not mistaken, the child in this picture is Desmond Wrightwood.” He spoke, eyes wide with shock. “Are you certain?” Olivia asked, in an attempt to deny it. “I have seen pictures of Desmond Wrightwood at every different age, on the news and on the internet, so don't even try to deny it.” Sebastian said. Obviously, denial was no longer an option. Olivia could not find the right words to say. “How did you get that picture?” She finally asked, after several moments of absolute silence. “From the pocket of your jeans.” Sebastian answered. “What aren’t you telling me?” Olivia’s heart was thumping rapidly in her chest. Her palms were clammy and trembling. What could she possibly do or say? She had never imagined what would happen if Sebastian found out the truth and she had never planned to be the one to reveal it to him. “It is not m

  • Caught Between Two Billionaires    "What is This?"

    After the Sebastian and Desmond had agreed to tolerate each other and co-exist for Laurel's sake, Desmond asked to speak with Olivia privately. She agreed, following him out of the room, to a secluded balcony. “What do you think you are doing?” Desmond queried as soon as they were out of earshot. “What do you mean?” Olivia asked, confused. “What do you think you are doing by letting Sebastian back into your life?” Desmond asked. “I am giving Laurel the opportunity to bond with her father one last time.” Olivia stated. “If you are not okay with that, I suggest you leave.” Desmond stared at her set jaw for several seconds, then realized that she was serious. “I guess I have no choice.” He spoke. “I just hope you will not allow yourself to be manipulated by him ever again. You know who he is.” Olivia exhaled. “Sebastian is a changed man.” The shock on Desmond’s face was evident as he swiftly removed his hand from hers. “What are you talk
