…

The Next Morning.

Olivia’s POV.

I woke up to emptiness, a huge void inside my heart.

Staring blankly at the white ceiling above, my mind replayed the events of last night.

His desperate plea. The way he looked at me as if I were the only thing that mattered. His silent withdrawal.

I shut my eyes, my heart breaking into pieces.

For the first time, I regretted ever letting him into my life. Not because I hate him, but because I hate myself for welcoming his kindness and generosity with open arms.

For giving him hope that never existed. For letting myself believe in second chances.

From the moment Dave came into my life, I should have realized that nothing else would ever be my priority, whether I liked it or not.

But breaking Ethan’s heart was never part of the plan, and I couldn’t turn back time. Neither could I undo my actions even if I wanted to.

If I must break Ethan’s heart to protect my son, so be it. I’d pay the price for caring for two people I can’t live without.

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    238. Reunite 

    …Olivia’s POV.Theo’s mother’s involvement should accelerate our progress. He should have no other choice but to dissuade Grandpa, right?Hopefully.I sighed, my heart still troubled. I’m not even sure of the outcome yet, and the anxiety won’t go away. Theo might have promised his mother, but he still appeared hesitant.What if he found a way out of this? What if he’s able to turn down our request without taking his mother’s health into account?Because obviously, he’s more afraid of his grandfather than anyone else in this world. Does that mean I’ll have no other choice but to use my last resort?Spilling the secret will definitely cause a feud between him and his grandfather. It’s the last thing I ever want to happen. But, what if I’m left with no other choice?So far, Theo hadn’t acted yet. Maybe I should give him some time.As Ethan’s home came into view, my mind veered off the topic momentarily, yet my anxiety lingered underneath the grief arising. I’d just dropped Dave off a

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    237. Strike A Deal

    ‘Never underestimate a mother’s love.’Long after I’d left the hospital, those words still echoed in my mind. Was it purely out of love or just an emotional tantrum? How could both women be so bothered by this tiny issue?With Mom taking Olivia’s side now, I’m left in a tight spot. Turning both women down will cost me a great deal of loss. My Mom’s health can decline. I can potentially lose my chance of winning Olivia’s heart again. Thinking that Olivia had already let go of the matter, I never saw this coming. I never expected her to convince my Mom so easily. “Mr. Wellington, hope everything’s alright.” A voice pulled me out of my thoughts. Lifting my head, I found my assistant standing in front of me. I didn’t even notice when he entered the office.“I was reporting the new case with the Finance Department, but you seemed to be lost in your thoughts. Is something bothering you, Sir?” Jake asked.A new case… again?Why do problems keep arising in this company? Just after I solv

    How did she know?Who told her that Grandpa was sending Dave abroad? Was it one of the servants?Honestly, this matter is nothing to fret about. But just like Olivia, my Mom is overreacting. “Mom–”“Don’t tell me you can’t do it, and your grandfather’s decision is the best,” She interrupted me, as if reading my mind. “Son, I just want you to stop that greedy old man from having his way. Don’t let him dictate your son’s life like he did to you. You must put an end to it.”“Mom, I understand…” I couldn’t help but glance at the heart monitor now and then, fearing the hike in her emotions.Now I have to be very careful with whatever I say. Knowing my mother’s heart is weak, that person still went ahead to tell her this. Did they have a death wish?Grandpa built me. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. All he’s after is a great future for my son.But, Mom… She has always acted on impulse, driven by her emotions. Her clinginess would have limited my success if Gran

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    235. Stop Him

    …Theo’s POV.Something is definitely wrong. Olivia didn’t sound alright. Her voice sounded as if she’d cried when she gave me that strange phone call.I wouldn’t stoop so low to kidnap Ethan. I have better things to do.What happened then?Did the coward flee? Is my assumption correct?If so, I should be over the moon. With Ethan Henderson gone, it will be easy for me to get my wife back.Yet, I can’t tell what’s happening to me. I cannot pinpoint the sudden dampness of my mood, and all I think about is the sound of her voice. Olivia wasn’t fine. She had cried.The urge to race to her apartment and check on her was strong because I’m not sure whether she’s at the hospital. However, I can’t ignore my mother’s summons.She’d urged me to hurry to the hospital. She sounded as if she was in a dilemma.Mom currently has a weak heart, and the doctors have warned that a slight hike in her emotions could trigger a heart attack.I stepped on the accelerator, racing towards the hospital.

    Behind her furious look was a flicker of fright. And then pain, which might have long been buried many years ago. She wasn’t only mad at me. She was afraid that what happened with Theo might repeat. “Baby, can you wait for me in my office?” I pulled Dave away from her. Maya didn’t want to let go. “Why are you taking him away? You’re clearly another puppet that old man is using for his selfish reasons. Well, I won’t let my grandson become his puppet too!” Maya screamed. “He’s staying here with me! You’ll take him nowhere.”My eyes darted to the heart monitor once more.She could collapse if this continues. It’s not good for her fragile heart.“I won’t take him away, not anymore…” I freed Dave from her tight embrace, carefully. “In fact, I’ll bring him back later. Please just calm down.”“Grandma, you’re suffocating me,” Dave complained. “If Mommy asks me to come back, I will.”It was only after Dave’s statement that the woman finally released him. Yet, the longing in her eyes was o

    Dave looked down and nodded slowly. “Okay, Mommy.”“Good boy.” I patted his head, sighing in relief at the same time. Convincing him to go wasn’t so difficult, except changing his views about Maya. Hopefully, the woman won’t do anything that will justify Dave’s perception of her and make things worse. As it turned out, my worry was for nothing. When we arrived at the hospital and I took him to Maya’s Ward, the usual glare the woman would always welcome me with was no more.A mix of confusion and shock took over her expression as she struggled to sit up on the bed. “Be careful.” I gently supported her arm, helping her sit properly. She had a heart surgery not long ago. Any rigorous movement could affect the muscles. However, it seemed like Maya didn’t even care about her body, her watery eyes fixed on Dave. “Am- Am I dreaming? Were you the one who brought him, Olivia?”“Didn’t I promise to bring him?” “W- Well, I thought you were bluffing- I even thought that I misinterpreted wha
