Geneva, Switzerland.

Theo's POV

This isn't my first time stepping into a foreign city.

Besides, I've been here twice for a business trip.

If I knew the famous mysterious Dr. Lawton lived here, wouldn't I have seized the opportunity during one of those business trips?

I have nobody to blame but my assistant who thought it's better to reveal the news when it's almost too late.

I just got a call from one of the Nurses at the hospital in L.A. that Grandpa's condition has worsened.

Now there's no time to lose.

It's either I find Dr. Lawton this evening or the dreaded event might occur.

“Mr. Wellington, the weather is bad. According to the weather report, there's an upcoming blizzard. Maybe we should lodge in one of the hotels.”

As I sat in the backseat of the car that picked us up from the airport, I listened to the assistant’s explanation.

Glancing outside the window, I frowned. The atmosphere was clear. There wasn't any sign of bad weather.

“The weather report, Sir-” The assistant e

    …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.

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    126. Make Headlines 

    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

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    125. Robbed

    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

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    124. A Surprise 

    The earlier I get Jessica treated, the better.I can't put up with this.I can't tolerate her drama.If I knew that I'd come back and meet her like this, I wouldn't have left Geneva. I'd very much prefer suffering in Olivia's hands than this!While I got ready, I could hear her breaking things in the bathroom.Knowing I wasn't following Dr. Raynold's orders, I felt a little guilty.Maybe I should be a bit lenient with her. But pretending to be her husband is something I cannot do. I was taking breakfast downstairs when she joined me, looking more haggard than I'd expected.She looked depressed as she silently ate her food.Even when her phone rang, she didn't answer it.Worried, I reached out and patted her hand gently. “Lighten up. I have a surprise for you later.”Jessica's expression became bright and she jumped to her feet.“Really? What's the surprise, Honey? When can I see it?”Actually, it's just a decision I made now. Not really that much of a surprise.“I have purchased a n

    Smiling brightly, she lifted her head from my chest and sat up. “Sorry, I slept off in the living room. I couldn't join you last night.”She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and blushed. “The party took over me, I guess.”Not really.Doesn't she recall a thing?I sat up, frowning in confusion as her innocent eyes wandered across the room. They widened in shock, and she gasped, covering her mouth. “Who did this, Honey? Why's the room a mess? Did you get drunk last night?”I followed her gaze to the broken lamps and torn curtains.A conflicted feeling hit me instantly, leaving me in utter disbelief.I sighed, shoved away the bedsheet, and entered the bathroom.I took a long time under the shower, trying to collect my thoughts.My confusion is no more, and my mind is now troubled.How long will it take for her to recover?Is there really no other way as the Doctor had said?No!I can't just believe him.There are great neurologists out there that I can reach out to. They'll defini

    Traumatized?How?That sounds ridiculous. And why wasn't I informed about it until now?Jessica sounded alright on the phone. In fact, she looked alright to me.“The rejection had a great impact on her mental health…” Dr. Raynold added. “That's why she's like this. Once in a similar situation, her trauma will be triggered. Did you perhaps do anything that made her feel unwanted, Mr. Wellington?”Does telling her to leave my bed count? I also told her that we're not married. I ordered her to come to her senses.What now?I thought she only fainted at the wedding venue due to the shock.So Jessica is crazy now.“Who else knows about this?” I asked. “And can she be cured?”Dr. Raynold looked around before answering my question as if he was being secretive.“You know Jessica has a sensitive identity; that's why I hid her situation from everyone, including your family…” The Doctor explained. “As a celebrity, words can leak out, and people will label her as a crazy person, which can affec
