Olivia

I woke up to the kick of a throbbing headache, I quickly grabbed a pillow covering my head. I couldn’t remember anything from last night nevertheless how I got home. I rolled on my back pouting my lips and keeping the pillow over my face. I did not dare to open my eyes and face the light. That's what you get when you trust Sam with the drinks. The pillow smelled like a man's perfume.

Oh no, did I bring someone with me at home? My father will kill me! I moved away from the pillow opening my eyes when I faced a weird ceiling. It wasn't the ceiling of my house. What the hell did I do last night? Did I hook up with a stranger? Was this his bedroom? My mother must be worried about me.

I stood on my feet checking if I had my clothes on. I still had my dress from last night on. The room was weird, almost everything was black. I took my heels at the end of the bed and tried to leave like a thief. I didn't want to confront the owner of the house. I pushed the door open and went out of that bedroom but the house was huge there were many doors. How was I supposed to get out of there without being noticed? I walked on my tiptoes, looking at every side to avoid people seeing me. But the house seemed empty like a ghost lived there. Distracted by the painting in the walls, me being me it is impossible not to be distracted because I get bored easily and love art. Well, I being distracted didn't notice the man who stood in front of me. I almost crashed into his muscular body. He had a blank face I couldn't read his emotions.

"H-hi!" I stuttered trying to regain my balance because I almost fell.

"This way." He said coldly before turning his back on me.

Was he showing me the way out of there? But when I saw the gun in the back of his pants I realized there wasn't an easy escape. What have I gotten myself into last night? What did I have to do with men who have guns? Would they sell me or kill me? I tried to cover my fear and take some information from that cold man.

"So, last night I was drunk, completely wasted. You know people when they get drunk they say or do things they don't mean it. And I.. maybe I said and did something, but look I apologize for whatever I said and did." I followed him behind talking like a parrot all the time, but not a single word got out of that man's mouth until we reached a door.

 He knocked before opening the door for me.

"This isn't the way out." My hands were trembling and my knees went weak.

What were they gonna do to me? I didn't take a step in, instead I walked back.

"I want to leave. I want to get out of here." I told the man in an ordering tone.

" Get in. " The man spoke through his teeth.

I was thinking about my chances, If I ran and tried to escape I didn't know the way out and he was probably going to kill me. I gave him a threatening look before going inside that office. I kept my heels in both my hands, to use them like weapons to protect myself. The man pulled the door closed leaving me alone in that room with the monster that sat with his back on me. I cleared my throat to let him know I was there. He didn't turn around. I knocked with my ring on the desk to gain his attention, but still nothing.

My heart was about to explode inside my chest. Anxiety kissed my body with each second that passed and the man who had his back on me wasn't turning his chair around. I could only see the clouds of smoke, he was smoking. What was I doing at this place?

"Oh, damn it!" I groaned putting the back of my hand on my head because I refused to let my weapons down, I mean my heels.

My head was exploding from pain as well, I had my eyes half closed when finally the chair turned around and I tried to stay like a soldier puffing my chest ahead and raising my chin. Why was I even doing that? Probably because the man sitting on the chair was a Greek god, and that caught me off guard. You could see the muscles from his black shirt, the first buttons unbuttoned. Or should I start with his unruly hair and his black beard that emphasized his green eyes and his perfectly toned skin?

"If you're done checking me out you may sit." His husky voice made my knees go weak.

I almost fell, blushing and getting caught.

"I. I didn't.."

For the first time in my life, I didn't know what to say and I was stuttering like a teenager in front of her crush.

The man smirked lighting another cigarette. I had to sit because otherwise I would fall and embarrass myself furthermore. His green eyes returned to me and my breath almost got stuck in my lungs. I was going crazy, maybe I hadn't recovered yet from last night's state. I closed my eyes taking deep breaths from my nose and letting it go from my mouth.

"Are you alright, miss?" When he spoke again I was ready to swear that the voice was the same, only more masculine. I shook my head chuckling to myself before opening my eyes.

 "Who are you?" It went out of my mouth like a threatening.

"Do you remember what happened last night?" He ignored my question.

 I had a huge headache and I couldn't remember a damn thing that happened after I had my second drink.

"No." I shook my head.

"Why am I here? How did I get here?" I asked, putting all my attention on the unknown gorgeous man.

"You don't remember what happened last night? " He said it more to himself raising his brow.

    OliviaWe drove back to our home silently.He and I needed to have a more in-depth talk about this dinner he planned and then kept his distance. We pulled into the driveway and I went inside without waiting for him. I made my way to the bedroom so we could have privacy. I could hear him following behind me. The bedroom door opened and then closed shortly after I had come in here."Did I do something wrong?" He asked.I sighed as I turned to look at him. "You are so hard to read and I don't know what to do about it.""What do you mean?" He questioned further."You seemed to be emotionless and distant at dinner, but before we leave you're apologizing for not being enough. Are you sorry or at this point do you just tell me what you think I want to hear?" I responded with a question of my own."No. I am sorry I haven't been enough." I could tell he was trying to sound sincere but it just sounded forced."Then why does it seem you didn't even want to be at the dinner you planned?" I felt l

    OliviaThe past few days felt like a nightmare; Daniel was completely out of line, He hardly sat at dinner with me. He was stuck in his study, investigating the person who shot him. He even started to drinking which was the worst state to see him in. He refused to talk more about that night. After he admitted he couldn't be weak he took himself to the room I had when I originally came here. I was pissed he had been drunk but I tried to put my feelings aside because I knew it was more like a cry for help. He just needed to push his pride to the side and get the help needed. We couldn't live like this forever.He spent the next week trying to make it up to me in little ways. A couple of gifts here and there, nothing too extreme. He even put together a small dinner for my birthday tonight. I appreciated the gestures but it didn't fix anything right now. What I wanted was my husband back one hundred percent."Are you ready Love?" He asked as he entered the room."Yes." I nodded as I looke

    Clyde I could feel myself becoming calmer after the doctor had left the room. I just wanted to get home and get back to my life. I felt like I was going crazy as I sat in this same room over the past few days. There wasn't very much entertainment in the hospital and I had things to do.I needed to figure out who attempted to kill me. I knew I was supposed to be relaxing, but when I was by myself, I spent time compiling a list. A list of people who I have pissed off and made enemies out of. It consisted of people who I cut business with, people who begged to do business, but I declined, and some old friends who are no longer in my life for good reason. I had pissed off a lot of people in my lifetime and I knew it.I didn't care at the time when I dealt with these people. I never thought I would have to worry about them hurting anyone else but me. Now things were different. I had a family I needed to protect and I felt useless recently. I needed to figure this out, not just for me but

    Olivia I return to Daniel at the hospital after the information that I had just received. I needed to figure out the best way to bring it up to him. I knew it would cause him stress and worry and he didn't need that right now. But I also couldn't keep it from him, it wouldn't be right and he would be pissed if I did.I parked my car and headed inside to the hospital. The driver followed behind of course. He also accompanied me through the lobby and to Daniel's door. We needed to be careful. We both needed to make sure security didn't leave our side.I took a deep breath in and let it out before opening the door. "How is everything?" Daniel asked as I took a seat in one of the chairs."Everything is fine. She's doing well." I reassured him.It wasn't a total lie. Our baby was doing just fine for where she needed to be. It was my body that seemed to be having a problem. It had decided it was time to begin the process of her arrival. I knew we could handle her coming early, but it made

    OliviaI’ve been spending my days at the hospital and forgot to do my weekly checkup at the doctor."I'll be back in a little bit, okay?" I spoke to Daniel as I gathered my things."I don't know why he can't just come here to examine you. It is a hospital after all." He wasn't pleased I was leaving."Because the doctor has a whole clinic with multiple patients," I responded. "I also have to check in at the store. Julia has been doing much more than she's paid to do.""Just get back here soon, Love." He sighed."I know. I won't take long." I reassured him. I placed my lips on his to kiss him goodbye. As I pulled away and headed for the door he grabbed my hand in his to stop me. I glanced back at him to see what he was doing. This man took a moment to check out my ass."Hmm." He bit his bottom lip. "I need to get out of this hospital soon. I have needs that need to be attended to."I rolled my eyes. "Why don't you take a nap?" I suggested."Maybe I will." he smirked. "But I can't guara

    Olivia"I know. I know." He spoke as he used his hand to stroke my hair as he held me tightly. "I'm here. no one is going to take me away from you that easily.”I looked up at him. My cheeks were wet, as a few tears had escaped. I was holding back, though, as I was already sick of crying. My eyes and my head hurt from last night, and I didn't want it to get any worse.He placed a kiss on my forehead and proceeded to look around the hospital room. "What happened to me?" he asked."You were shot in the study," I answered. "There were four bullet wounds in total. Two on your right shoulder and two on your lower back. You lost a lot of blood and went into shock."He was quiet as he took in the information I shared with him. "The last thing I remember is going through emails. I got up to go to the kitchen to start figuring out what to make for you and then I fell to the ground.""I feel awful. You were laying there for hours because I worked late." I responded in a low tone. My guilt had
