Jessica!Again. I gritted my teeth, staring at the screenshot my assistant just sent to me.I wonder when she even crawled into my bed.I wonder when she took this photo.Seeing the comments and reactions of her fans made my blood boil. “Mrs. Wellington is perfect for Mr. Wellington.”“They’re a match made in heaven.”“Oh, how she fits so perfectly in his arms.”“Never in a million years have I ever imagined that I would be so lucky to see Theo Wellington’s sleeping face! Literally squealing in delight!”“Isn’t Jessica the luckiest?”I groaned, tossing my phone aside!That’s it.I can’t tolerate Jessica anymore.I know she’s crazy and out of her mind, and I have to transfer her to a mental facility as soon as possible.There have to be other ways to make her return to her senses instead of the Doctor’s suggestion. Glancing at my wristwatch, I looked forward to the evening yet again.For some reason, the heavens decided to act against me as the Lab happened to be in chaos right now.
Oh, no!I can recall telling that to Bonnie through the phone.Knowing that it’s important I revealed Dave’s true identity to her, I wanted to give her a heads up, not knowing that she would take it so seriously and even come to Geneva for it. Can I tell her about it now?“Oh, I’m so famished.” She released me from the hug. “I can’t wait to hear whatever you want to tell me. It must be a surprise, and that’s why you could say it through the phone.”Not really.It’s a surprise indeed, but not an exciting one.I helped Bonnie transfer her bags to the extra room, unease settling on my chest.Now that she’s here in person, there’s no escaping it.I’d wanted to bid myself some time. Well, there’s no going back.I came out and didn’t find her in the living room. Listening to the sounds coming from the kitchen, I followed that direction.Bonnie turned the stove off and brought down the pot, opening the lid to let the steam out.She went ahead to serve lunch, her movement swift and smooth in
…I kept thinking about Ethan’s words long after we returned to my apartment building. Funny how despite what he said, I couldn’t seem to understand whether he meant it or not. Because, one moment, he seemed to be joking, and the next, he would be dead serious.Why?He could ask directly.Is he afraid I might turn him down, after all, nobody would like to be rejected.Is he giving me mixed signals, Or am I just thinking too much about his actions?After what he said yesterday, he didn’t say a similar topic. We’d bumped into each other often at the hospital and he acted normal.He was even the one who brought us back to the apartment building this morning, yet, he didn’t show a single hint of the sadness he’d displayed yesterday morning.Well, I shouldn’t look forward to anything exciting, should I?My priority right now is focusing on my son. Now that I’ve settled down finally, I have to make sure the events that occurred in the past recent days won’t repeat.Hopefully, Theo never
…Geneva, Switzerland. Olivia’s POVIt has been three days ever since Theo stirred up that drama at Prof. Joanne’s place. Three days ever since he last stalked us. But instead of feeling relieved, I can't overlook the slight worry creeping up inside my heart whenever I think about him.I have this feeling that Theo won’t give up easily. Maybe something urgent had called him back to L.A. Maybe he was busy with the company’s affairs.Or maybe he was up to something, probably getting prepared to overthrow my decision.No way!Shaking my head, I shoved that thought aside despite it being at the back of my mind always.Has Theo gone back to level up his tricks in order to overthrow me easily?One cannot tell,But I have to be positive. Today is a very important day, after all. I’ll resume work at the hospital, and I have to be in a good, positive mood. After getting ready, I grabbed my bag and left the bedroom, heading downstairs and hoping Dave was at least watching TV.Funny how so
Damnit!This is dangerous!Who can penetrate my privacy?It's not like others haven't tried it before, but they were instantly caught the moment they made an attempt.How could this person be successful then?Where are they from?“I didn't sell any of those Islands. Start an investigation, Jake! I need results instantly!”After commanding Jake, I ended the call.The sold Islands didn't bother me as much as the realization that someone out there could carry out a transaction under my name.What will they do next?Sell the entire fortune of the Wellington Group? The earlier the culprit gets apprehended, the better.I stared at the sample again, knowing I couldn't waste time. “Take me to the hospital first,” I ordered the driver. After submitting the samples at the Lab, I finally headed to the company.I was late for the meeting and the entire conference hall was in a chaotic state. It took several minutes to bring order in the place and even longer to address the employees and resta
How strange and unfortunate that I didn't realize it at that time despite my mother insisting.She'd seen the resemblance while I never did until it was too late.Well, is it worth reminiscing right now? Knowing that I couldn't reveal this truth to my mother now because she'd only dig deeper and potentially hurt Olivia, I should keep acting oblivious.After all, she never hid her hatred for her, and if she knew that Dave was Olivia's son, I'm not sure what her reaction might be despite knowing it's not going to be a good one. “You worry too much. Dave has left with his parents,” I answered her before walking away.Thank goodness she didn't follow me or stall me any further.As I sat in the backseat of my car while the driver drove me to the company, I brought out my phone.It's not going to be easy to find Olivia now that she'd left her apartment.I can't go back to Geneva and start from scratch again. I need leverage. How else can I make her admit it?Before I dialed a number, my g
