로그인Later That Evening...The EventThe event had gone better than Adrian had expected, and so had the networking. He was glad to know that many people still trusted his company, which meant that he would be securing more contracts in the future. The only thing that had not gone according to plan was that, throughout the entire evening, Adrian had been trying to keep his distance from Olivia, but he was failing miserably.They had walked into the event together, with Olivia holding his hand. However, every time she tried to reach for it again, Adrian would move away from her, making sure to create the distance that he desperately needed.The night was filled with various photographers from different countries, and the last thing Adrian wanted was to end up on the front cover of a tabloid with Olivia. He knew how quickly people could twist a simple photograph into something entirely different, especially when it involved a mar
Olivia stared at Adrian for a few seconds, and after a moment, her anger slowly began to build. She was done playing games. She was finally going to demand and get what was owed to her, and that was Adrian.“Fine, fine. If you don't want me to go to your wife's café any longer, then I need you to do something for me. Otherwise, I'll keep going there until you eventually ask me a few questions, and I will have no choice but to answer them.”“What is it that you want, Olivia? Say it, and I can get it for you,” Adrian responded.He felt the need to do anything to stop Olivia from ever visiting his wife;s cafe again.“I want you to buy me a car, any car of my choice.”She blurted out the words, and Adrian stared at her with disbelief, struggling to understand how casually she made such demands.“You want a car? What happened to yours? Wasn't it at the mechanic?” he asked, beginning to grow annoy
The Ole CaféOlivia walked into the café and looked around. A displeased expression crossed her face as she took in the place. Despite everything she had done, the café was doing remarkably well. It had received praise from various people and had even been featured in articles describing it as one of the best cafés in the Chicago district.After reading about its success, Olivia had felt sick to her stomach. She had been trying her best to get Evelina’s café shut down, but she had not been successful. It turned out that having a powerful name like Beaumont meant that people thought twice before challenging you.She scanned the café and spotted Evelina wiping down tables at the far end of the room. Immediately, hatred filled her heart. In Olivia’s eyes, Evelina was the woman who had taken Adrian away from her, and she could not stand seeing her enjoy the success she had tried so hard to destroy.Olivia walked towards her, her high heels clicking against the wooden floor. As soon as Eve
The Next MorningThe Beaumont Urban Estate BuildingAdrian woke up that morning feeling exhausted after being unable to sleep the entire night. He was still bothered by Olivia’s warning that he should leave his wife. He had spent hours trying to think of multiple ways to get rid of her, but none of the plans seemed likely to work the way he wanted them to. The last thing he wanted was to be called a murderer simply because he had wanted to get rid of Olivia.As soon as he walked into the building and stepped out of the elevator, he could hear commotion coming from the hallway leading to the offices. When he finally reached the source of the noise, he saw that it was none other than Olivia, arguing with one of the managers, who was doing his best to stand his ground.“I have told you to do what I said! Do you know who I am? Very soon, my position in this company will rise, and I will show each and every one of you, including you!” Olivia yelled at the manager. The moment the manager no
Adrian and Evelina's HouseThe celebration had gone better than Adrian had hoped it would. Even though it was a small party involving himself, his wife, Noah, and a few members of the household staff, it had been enough to make his day. He had almost forgotten about Olivia's ultimatum, even if only for a few hours. The laughter and happiness in the house had made it easier for him to pretend that everything was finally falling into place.Later that night, Adrian lay in bed beside his wife, with her hands wrapped around his waist. While Evelina slept peacefully, he could not help staring at the ceiling. His mind went back to the night he had gone to help Olivia. That was when everything had started going from bad to worse. Every time he thought about it, he wished he had stayed away from her and avoided getting himself involved in her problems.His phone rang again. Adrian turned his head towards his bedside table and reached for the device. When he looked at the caller ID, he realise
The moment Adrian heard those words coming out of Olivia's mouth, he froze right there in his office. Of all the bad things that could have happened, this was by far the worst. All he could think about was his relationship with his wife, Evelina, and how everything between them would crumble if the truth ever came out.He stepped away from Olivia. He knew the kind of woman she was. She was cunning and would do whatever she needed to do to get what she wanted, even if it meant lying to him. Adrian had always known that Olivia was not someone he could easily trust, and now, standing in front of her, he had every reason to be suspicious.He looked at Olivia for a while, studying her facial expression and trying to see if he could catch her slipping up. He wanted to believe that she was lying, that this was just another one of her attempts to get his attention. However, when he looked at her, he could see that she was serious, and that alone sent Adrian's blood cold.“I don't believe you
