For a split second, her eyes flashed with horror. She broke eye contact, knelt, and picked up the folder from the floor, her hand trembling. And then she turned around and hurried away.

That was strange. What’s wrong with her?

But I soon forgot Cora’s weird behaviour the moment they wheeled Theo out of the emergency room.

Due to the medication's effect, he was asleep now.

In the VIP Ward, I sat on the chair beside his bed, unable to tear my gaze off his bandaged arm. This is a fatal accident.

How long is it gonna take for him to heal? How’s this not going to hinder our mission?

Urgh! Should I be thinking about the mission now? We’ve already made some progress; besides, his well-being comes first.

I blew out a sigh, wishing I could reverse time. I would have run somewhere else instead of the bathroom. I wouldn’t have locked the door.

“Mr. Wellington is out of danger now, Ma’am…” One of the bodyguards came inside. “How about you go home and change? We will look after him.”

Right. I

    I sat up, my mood taking a nosedive.Oh, he’s right. With Theo being hospitalized, our reunion will seem suspicious if his grandfather doesn’t find me in the hospital with him.Quickly, I entered the bedroom and changed into something nice. In just a few minutes, I was on the way back to the hospital, hoping his grandfather didn’t get there before me. The awkwardness could wait. The sooner we get this mission over with, the better. And I won’t have to see Theo ever again. When I arrived, the number of the bodyguards outside the ward didn’t increase, which meant his grandfather wasn’t here yet. What a relief!I entered the ward and found Theo resting on the bed, wide awake. His eyes, devoid of any emotion, suddenly lit up, his lips pulling into a smile. “You came.”I pursed my lips and sat on the chair. “What did you expect? This mission is more important to me than anything.”His eyes dimmed, gloom momentarily flashing in them. I glanced away, staring at my palms instead. Urgh!

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    249. The Mission

    Am I not the bad person?I’d given him hope before crushing it. I’d been too hesitant. If I hadn’t rejected his kiss that evening, Ethan probably would still be here.Bonnie pulled me to the living room and made me sit on the couch. She sat beside me, holding my hands. “You stood up to your bullies in high school. When that heartless Theo broke your heart, you left without turning back, even though you’d loved him your entire life. You single-handedly raised a strong and intelligent boy while excelling in your career. Olivia, you’re the strongest person I know. Don’t waste your tears on a dude who can’t fight for your love.”I sniffled, using the back of my hand to wipe my tears.Right!I’d been broken once, more than this, and I managed to come out of it. The heartbreak caused by Theo traumatized me. I almost gave up everything until I realized I was pregnant. Dave’s presence was like my second chance in life. Because of him, I’d been strong and pushed through every challenge. I c

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    248. The Bad Person

    “Uhm, it’s actually an accident,” I replied. “But not mine… Someone got into an accident. I had to rush him to the hospital.”Bonnie gave me a pointed look. “How many times do I have to tell you that you’re a bad liar, Olivia?” She snickered. “How did you get involved with the person who had an accident when you rarely go out? Spill the truth, now!”I shook my head, helpless.Bonnie won’t give up on interrogating me until she’s satisfied. But honestly, I can’t tell her about Theo yet. She won’t only be disappointed, but also mad. Regardless of my reason, Bonnie might still think I’m making the wrong decision, which to some extent is true.“Urgh! This is itchy.” I scratched my shoulder with the dry blood. “I should get rid of it–”“Wait.” Bonnie held me down as I stood up. “Stop trying to avoid the topic. Where did you get this dress, by the way? You never like designer wear, and this one screams extravagance.”Great!I really shouldn’t have worn this dress that Theo bought. I never b

    For a second, I forgot how to breathe. Not because I wanted this… but because I couldn’t tell if I didn’t.And yet… I didn’t push him away. Not this time. Why’s this happening to me? What’s wrong with my body?Theo pulled away, leaning his forehead against mine, his breathing ragged. “Please don’t hate me, Olivia. I was blinded and foolish in the past…” He breathed sharply. “...Please give me another chance.”I balled my fingers, closing my eyes not to see his eyes, not to be fooled by the emotions swirling in them. “I hate you…” And myself too for being so weak and vulnerable. He’s the only man I’ve ever hated this much… because I once loved him more than anything. A love that was never meant to exist. A love born out of his grandfather’s master plan. Silence.Only his shaky breath echoed in the bathroom. A minute and then two… he didn’t react or pull away, releasing me from the trap of his presence. Then something dropped. A heavy, warm liquid on my shoulder. It dropped continuo

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    245. His Vulnerability

    I gulped, dazed for a moment as flashes of memories resurfaced. His strong hand was firmly on my waist. My heart was racing wildly as if it would burst. The whispers of his voice, low and deep, as he drove me to ecstasy that night!I shivered inside, my nerves jolting at his touch, lost in the depth of his eyes holding warmth and desire. I pushed him away and took to my heels. With no sense of direction, I found myself back inside the Villa, in the guest room’s bathroom. No!This isn’t right.Theo is just lying. There’s no way he knows me better than I do. I definitely do not– and will never love him again.I staggered forward and supported both hands on the sink, staring at my horror-filled expression in the mirror.What happened just now? What were those memories about? Of all things, why did I have to remember the first and only intimate night we shared? I splashed my face with water, taking in a deep breath to calm my erratic heartbeat. This has to stop. I can’t remain here
