Whatever the Nanny's explanation was, I couldn't pick it properly.I understood what she said, but it's difficult to believe it.Literally, Dave helped those strangers and they kidnapped him in return.I couldn't wait for the morning to come. From the looks of it, those strangers’ destination is here.They're coming to L.A. that's what the Nanny told me.“Ethan! Ethan!” I left my suite and stood in front of the opposite suite, pounding the door incessantly.Ethan didn't answer.He wasn't sleeping, was he? Tired of knocking, I pushed the door open and barged inside to find him fast asleep. The heck! “Ethan!” I shouted his name, my voice trembling with fear as I fought hard not to cry.“Wake up, Ethan! It's an emergency!” I climbed onto the bed and shook him hard. “What's wrong, Olivia?” Ethan groaned, turning his back to me. “It's late. Go to sleep.”“Damnit! Wake up!” I didn't mean to, but punching him was the best way. “You have to wake up. It's an emergency!”“Urgh! What now?” H

I was in so much haste that I forgot to wear my mask.When I arrived at the hospital, the first set of nurses I bumped into recognized me instantly. “Oh my goodness, am I seeing things?”“Is that Dr. Olivia?” “Dr. Olivia, when did you come back?”“Maybe it's someone that looks like her. Dr. Olivia left many years ago, it shouldn't be her.”“But I heard that a mysterious Doctor performed the successful CABG surgery. Do you think it is her?”“Wasn't it Dr. Natasha from the Cardiology Department who did the surgery?”My mind was disoriented.My thoughts weren't on their words.I made my way to Grandpa Victor's ward, hurrying to bypass the curious eyes.The old man has now been transferred to the VIP Ward on the highest floor of the hospital.I needed a permit to go see him. Thank goodness I didn't forget to take my identity card with me.I was cautious before entering the ward, making sure no one else was inside apart from Grandpa Victor.The nurse looking after the old man was the onl

Theo's POV If I had made the phone call earlier, I would have landed in L.A. sooner. To think that I was just wasting my time in Geneva.After making the phone call to the company, all they had to do was hire a private jet from the nearby aviation company in Geneva.Now I'm back in L.A, but I don't have to worry about returning to Switzerland to search for that Doctor anymore.As it turned out, Grandpa had been treated behind my back.Well, that's a relief!I can't wait to see him.I just hope the old man doesn't chase me away.As I came out of the elevator, stepping into the hallway of the VIP area, I thought I saw the figure of a woman disappearing inside the opposite elevator.Or was that just my imagination? “What are you staring at?” The little boy standing beside me tugged at my hand. “Be quick so you can start looking for my Mommy.”I snapped out of it.Sigh!I wouldn't have brought him if he hadn't insisted. In his language, only I am the person he trusted. He wouldn't eve

Guilt washed over me like never before.I should never have gone there.If I knew my presence would have that much effect on my grandfather, I wouldn't have thought about visiting him in the hospital.Does the old man despise looking at me so much that he would faint at the sight of me?The outcome wasn't something anyone had expected.When the Doctor told me that he'd slipped into a coma, imagine my devastation.“Mr. Wellington, the patient’s heart is weak. Experiencing any kind of intense emotions can lead to a heart attack. Thankfully, his brain worked fast to prevent that by putting him in a vegetative state. Nobody can tell when your grandfather will wake up.”This is bad. I only made things worse.They told me Grandpa was already recovering. They told me that he could get discharged at any moment.However, my appearance just had to ruin everything. Why?“Don't beat yourself up.” The little boy patted my shoulder. “It shouldn't feel that bad that you're so scary enough to make a

Jessica!What brought her here? I thought I'd told the secretary to tell any visitors that I'm busy.Right now, I'm not in the mood to speak with or see anyone.She strolled forward, swaying her hips, her high heels making the usual disturbing noise.I bet she had another plastic surgery while I was away. “Oh, I'm so happy to see you again, Honey.” She stopped in front of me, leaned down for a brief hug, and then tried to kiss me.I averted my face and her kiss ended up on my cheek. She blocked my vision and all I could see was her wide assets flashing in front of me.Why can't she dress decently for once? “You left without a goodbye. I called you many times but your number was unreachable. It's not fair, Honey. I couldn't even eat while you were away.”As Jessica went on complaining, my gaze traveled to the little guy who was strangely silent.We were in the middle of a conversation when Jessica barged in.He didn't look pleased. He appeared mad in fact.Glancing between me and Je

…Jessica's POVShit!I wish I could strangle that little devil and throw him out of the window.Where did that boy come from?Who were his parents?And why didn't Theo say anything while the little boy blatantly insulted me?It's unlike Theo…I know the man's personality of not mingling with just anyone. I know him well and I'm so confident that even relatives never got close to him.Of course, I know the little arrogant boy wasn't his assistant’s son. I just made it up to see if Theo would tell me who he really was.He didn't mind that the boy insulted me.He didn't stop me when I left in anger.No… It can't be!My head pounded with so many thoughts as I raced my car down the city, my heart burning with an unforgiving fury I feared it would burst.These days, I've been restless.Theo doesn't pay attention to me like before. It's as if he's gradually losing interest in me.My anxiety only increased when he left for Switzerland without telling me. I don't even know what he went to do

But I'm not here because of Theo’s grandfather.I wish the old man would have a relapse or something- I just wished he would fall into a coma or die so we wouldn't have to hear about him again.With the old man gone, my life would become easier.“Speak to me, Dear…” Theo's mother went on. She reached out to hug me, but I pulled away. “If you don't speak, it'll make me worry. Did something happen to my son? I couldn't reach him on the phone.”“Theo is back!” I choked, sobbing bitterly. “He's back with a little boy, Mom! That bitch, Olivia, is also back!”The woman frowned, giving me a puzzled look.She looked as if she didn't believe me.Gasping in shock, she sprang up. “You're joking!” “No, I'm not!” I sobbed harder. “I saw them with my eyes. I saw Olivia visiting Theo’s grandfather, and that boy…”I trailed off, watching the woman's expression shift from shock to worry.“Are you sure, Jessica? Theo isn't cheating on you. He doesn't have a secret child, and that girl Olivia is dead

Opening my eyes, her deep fragrance alone was enough for me to know that it was her.“What are you doing here?” Frustrated, I tried to keep my voice low.What's she doing in my bed?Is she out of her mind?What's she doing in my house in the first place?“Honey, I don't understand…” Jessica sat up beside me, looking very confused.I wonder what I'd said wrong or which word I'd mispronounced.“Where else am I supposed to sleep if not here?” She continued. “Come on, stop scaring me, Honey. I thought-”“Stop calling me that.” I also sat up, annoyed by the fact that she was acting oblivious.Her puzzled look confused me. Does she think this is okay?“I- I should stop calling you that?” Jessica stammered, staring at me in disbelief. “Why? Aren't we married? Aren't we a couple?”Does she even listen to herself?I was right in thinking something was wrong with her by the way she acted carefreely.When did we get married?“Come on, stop scaring me.” Jessica clasped my arm, her eyes welling up
Divorced To Steal His Heart 120. Unbothered
My mind traveled back to some weeks ago.As usual, Dave had followed me to the office. Although he was always blunt and cold towards me, he never disturbed me while I worked.While I was busy testing out the new camera the company was about to invest in, he was engrossed in staring outside the large floor-to-ceiling window as he sat beside it.That was when I took this photo.Seeing the deep frown on his face as he stared at that particular spot, I'd thought he was sad because he missed his mother,Yet, reading his expression clearly now, something tells me it was just a look of disappointment.He'd known all along that I was his father, yet he chose to stay with me.Dave was very smart and he could easily find Olivia, but he didn't.Maybe he'd genuinely wanted to spend some time with me, and…Where did I go wrong?Was it when I shouted at him because of Jessica?Was it because of the wedding?But I'd apologized and the wedding was also canceled. I stood and paced the space of my of
Divorced To Steal His Heart 119. An Emergency
…Theo's POV What a wasted effort.Another failed mission.I slammed the steering wheel several times, the loud honking of my car echoing on the long highway.Stuck in a tight traffic, my frustration increased drastically.Why's she giving me a hard time?Why's everyone against me?I can't believe Dave would reject me too. He never really liked me, but I'd looked forward to a different reaction from him. I was so close.Very close. I could get a strand of his hair, carry out the DNA test, and get my own physical evidence-If only Dave hadn't raised an alarm.Of course, I didn't mean to take him away. I'd planned to return him once we were done shopping and I also got what I wanted. But my little trick didn't work. What now?Do I have to return to that place?What if I don't find her there, what if she runs to another place? My phone rang but I ignored it.Currently in a bad mood, I don't want to speak with anyone.However, the phone call persisted. Seeing Jessica's name on the

I turned around, nodding to his question.Reading the seriousness on his face, I could guess he wanted to discuss an important topic.“I'm all ears,” I said and sat on the bed. Ethan sat beside me. “Are you sure about this, Olivia? Me acting with you as a couple…”I looked down. Well, I hadn't thought much into it.That day, at the hospital, I jumped into the act when Dave addressed Ethan that way. I didn't think whether Ethan was comfortable with it or not, and I continued with the act whenever Theo was present at the scene. “Sorry for dragging you into this…” I looked up, reading his expression for any signs of discomfort.But Ethan smiled at me. “Why do you apologize? I'm not complaining. I just thought maybe that-”“Theo will see through our lies?” I completed his words, convinced that's what he wanted to say. Well, that's something else. I don't want Theo to know that I'm putting on this act all because of him. I have no problem with spiting him by acting like a couple wit

Was she cursed to spill every secret?I never knew the Nanny could be such a blabbermouth.I'd tried to hide this from Prof. Joanne as best as I could while upstairs in order not to increase her stress levels.The old woman had gone through enough shock for today, right?That's it.“You can leave now, Maya. Please don't find us until I call you.”“Ah, why not, Ms. Lawson?” Maya let go of the old woman and rushed to me. “I thought you had forgiven me already. Isn't that why you asked me to stay?”I only sent her inside, detecting that she could spill the truth in Theo’s presence after seeing her reaction when Dave called Ethan his Dad.Walking to the couch, I picked up my bag and brought out some cash. “Here's money for a taxi. And if Theo Wellington finds you and asks you anything, please don't spill a word.”Maya lowered her head, a look of realization flashing in her eyes.Nodding obediently, she apologized, “I'm sorry for every inconvenience I've caused you, Ms. Lawson- I truly am.

I cursed inside, tossed my phone aside, and rushed out.Damn! I shouldn't overlook this, knowing that Theo would try to take Dave away, I should have kept him beside me.On leaving the house, I found the man's car parked outside the small fenced gates and he's trying to make Dave sit in it.It wasn't only Theo convincing my son to get inside the car, but also the Nanny who I've just turned away.“Come on, Dave… Nanny will be you with, and Mr. Wellington is your Daddy. Don't be scared, Sweetie… we'll be back in a jiffy.”“Let go of me!” Dave shouted. “He's a bad guy.”“Hehe- I know it's sad that he accidentally made Grandma Joanne faint. Well, if he was a bad guy, you wouldn't have followed him to L.A., right? You knew all this time that he was your Daddy-”“You!” I stopped running, staring at the Nanny speechlessly. Seeing how hard she's trying to convince Dave to enter the car while Theo held the car's door open, the cunning man must have promised her something.“What do you think y
Divorced To Steal His Heart 115. Brainwash Him
A Few Minutes Later I was lucky to bring Prof. Joanne back to her senses.The old woman was too weak to sit down, so I made her rest on her bed.“I thought you considered me your family, Olivia. Why did you hide this secret from me?” She complained. “Did you think that I wouldn't stand up for you because you're hiding from someone so powerful?”Shaking my head, I sighed. That wasn't my reason.In all these years, I didn't discuss Theo with her because I didn't like even the mention of his name.I'd lied to Prof. Joanne that Dave's father was someone insignificant and not worth mentioning because that's how I'd regarded Theo in my heart.“I'm so sorry, Professor. If I knew Theo would barge in on us-”“I understand…” The woman patted my hand and smiled weakly. “Now I know the reason behind your sudden visit. But you can't run from problems, Dear. Or they'll keep piling up.”Well, what do I do now?All thanks to the Nanny, Theo has found us. He has finally seen Dave, one of my worst f
Divorced To Steal His Heart 114. Stay Behind
Olivia's POV This neighborhood is so serene and secure, unlike the apartment building downtown buzzing with the activities of people.I should consider buying a house around here and moving here.This way, nobody could barge in or come here announced. “Why do you need a house when your time here is almost over, Dear?” Prof. Joanne asked me as we went through some research papers together.Well, I can't believe how fast time flies.It's five years already and the project will soon be over. “Actually, I'm considering staying behind…” I revealed. “I like it here in Geneva, Professor. I think I've adapted to life here.”“Uhm, that's strange.” The woman gave me an inquisitive look as if she didn't quite believe me. “Don't you miss your family in the U.S.? I thought you were planning to move back there. Unless you've changed your mind.”“Y- Yeah…” I smiled and picked up the teacup in front of me, sipping on it. “Dreams can take a person anywhere, right?”Prof. Joanne nodded in agreement

Vanished?Likely story.Why am I not surprised?After giving me the fake sample, Olivia would definitely try to evade me by running away with my son.I sighed and ended the call.Now what?Geneva is not like L.A., and I can't guarantee that I'll find her easily.Where do I start looking?Yet again, I had another sleepless night. My time in Geneva isn't as I've planned at all.I'd thought after hearing that I'd canceled the wedding with Jessica, Olivia would be touched.I'd thought that she'd feel free and tell me the truth. But it's more difficult than I'd imagined.In the morning, despite my exhaustion, I left for the apartment building to see it for myself.True to the investigator’s words, Olivia was gone and her apartment was locked. What to do next?I'd never been this confused or clueless. If only I could get a single hint.Who could help me in this situation?I sat on the stairwell, thinking for a long time.Then an idea lit up in my head.Although I was not very sure it woul
