Divorced To Steal His Heart 48. A Mistake!
…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

…Olivia's POV It's too risky to go back.I can't return to Geneva when my son could be here in L.A. The Nanny told me the kidnappers are heading here, and maybe it's true.It's as if Dave has vanished into thin air. News returned from Ethan's father that they found no traces of him. The authorities could do nothing about it either,And the only person I could rely on… My only last hope, Theo’s grandfather, has slipped into a coma. I've never felt this much sadness before. Not even when Theo and I divorced. The Nanny gave me feedback from Switzerland that the authorities found no traces either.Those kidnappers must be skilled in their job. To avoid the authorities, they had skillfully erased their tracks.“Can you at least take some water, Olivia…” Ethan urged me. “Please don't lose hope yet. Look, in just one day, you've already lost weight.”Am I not a bad mother?I should have seen this coming when I've constantly ignored my son. Dave is a smart kid. He wouldn't follow just

I was thrown into speechlessness at first.I didn't know what to say or how to react. Never had I expected to meet Bonnie in such a bizarre way. I thought she was out of the country,I thought I might never get to see her while in Los Angeles. Is it even my best friend? Isn't it someone else who looks exactly like her?“Olivia!!!” The piercing scream echoed in my ears, snapping me out of my trance.Before I knew it, Bonnie crashed into me and hugged me tightly, almost crushing my bones in the process.Urgh! Can't breathe!“B- Bonnie,” I stammered.Bonnie still hugged me tight without any sign of letting go. “Damn, Olivia! Did I make it to heaven? How did that dumbass get to knock me out? If it's really you, then heaven has you in it.”Wait…What's she talking about?I wiggled out of the embrace, confused at her words. Watching Bonnie's tear-streaked face and puffy eyes, I realized she wasn't just being funny.Heaven?How can I go to heaven when I'm still alive? “Olivia.” Ethan joi

“Uhm, what?” Bonnie blinked at me, giving me a look as if I'd just spelled out the weirdest words. In my hastiness, I didn't hesitate to mention my son. She looked so freaked out right now, I wouldn't be surprised if she screamed.“You're kidding!” She gasped. “Olivia, you have a son? When? How?”Ethan started the car.Throughout the car ride, I was bombarded with different kinds of questions by Bonnie.I didn't know which to answer as she didn't give me a chance to speak.When we arrived at the hotel and all got inside the building together, her attention diverted to Ethan. “Why's he following us?” Bonnie had whispered when Ethan followed us inside my suite.But I seriously couldn't address her questions right now when my mind was bugged with so much worry.Suddenly, Bonnie stopped walking, dragging me to a halt as well. She let out a huge gasp that startled both me and Ethan and the weird look she was giving us crept me out the most.“Olivia…” Bonnie stammered, her expression shi

…Theo's POV I just want to be left alone. Knowing very well the reason why my Mom summoned me, I'm pretty sure this meeting isn't going to turn out in my favor.She rarely calls me to the mansion and whenever she does, it's always about one topic.I sighed, rubbing my throbbing forehead, dreading the upcoming headache. “Boss, you can just admit it. I- I won't judge you.”“Hmph! Ridiculous, what would I gain from stealing your phone?”“Haha, it's not like that… I have important information inside it, Boss… Y- You can ask Mr. Wellington. Please give it back, Boss.”I don't want to take part in my assistant's conversation with the little boy. I hate that he was trying to drag me into it. Currently, I'm going through a lot. My grandfather hasn't woken up yet, and my mother is just about to pressure me into something I'm not ready for.“Mr. Wellington, please ask him to give back my phone.” Jake turned to me, pleading with his eyes. He was sitting at the front on the passenger’s sea

The living room was messy. There was a shattered box on the floor and what seemed like make-up materials were scattered everywhere.Surprisingly, Dave found his way here before me and seemed to have gotten himself into another trouble. While my sister scolded him and pulled his ear, he was kicking and struggling to break free.“This makeup set cost millions, how dare you break it? Your servants’ parents can't even afford this, who the hell brought you here?”“Ouch! Let go of me, Crazy lady! Theo Wellington, won't you help me out!?” Dave called out for my help, breaking me from my trance. As Tania pulled his ear, the gesture didn't settle well with me.“Let him go, he's just a kid.” I pulled him from her grasp. Well, I know more than anyone else that he's not just a kid. This little troublemaker is at it again. I'm pretty sure that he'll turn this place upside down if we spend up to an hour here. “W- Wait, you know him?” Tania blinked in astonishment. “H- He just called you by yo

I wish I could also go away. But it wasn't as easy as it sounds.My Mom is neither crazy nor is my sister. So I threw him a look, hoping he would behave.“You can go outside and play. Don't get lost,” I told him. I'd rather search for him later than have him in my Mom's presence. Dave wasn't the only person creeped out by her behavior, even I am. “Much better.” Dave turned around and left. My Mom looked disappointed though. “Why did you tell him to leave, Theo? You've brought him, isn't it for me to look at him?”What did she mean by that?I only brought the troublemaker because he insisted on tagging along. “So the rumors are true…” The woman exclaimed and sat on the couch, looking dazed for a while. “So it's true that you have a child from another woman. He's this big, how old is he?”“W- What!?” Tania stammered, her expression turning pale as well. “You're kidding, Mom. You mean that boy is Big Bro’s son?”“No.” I frowned. I didn't know why they were running to conclusions fas

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
Divorced To Steal His Heart 112. Vanished
…Theo's POV I'm not so dumb.When I asked for the sample, knowing there was no way Olivia would allow me to see Dave, I expected her to say no and insist I left.But then, she agreed and instantly brought me a sample.I'm not a fool to believe her. But I have to change strategies.Approaching Olivia directly or pleading and showing her my desperation won't get me what I want.She's hellbent on denying me access to Dave.I never knew she could be so stubborn. “Mr. Wellington, here is all the information you asked for.” The private investigator’s voice dragged my attention. Not only were they written information,There were also some photos attached to the file. “Five years ago, Dr. Lawson came to Geneva, following a professor for an important project. A few months later after she came, she gave birth to a boy.”As the investigator narrated the story, my heart stirred with a complex emotion, seeing Dave's photo when he was an infant. Olivia was sitting on a hospital bed, looking

“Olivia-”“Please leave, Theo Wellington.” I cupped my palms together, giving him a hopeless look.The man's desperation scared me.The more he pushed, the more anxious I became.Never would I imagine a scenario whereby my son could be snatched from me someday.And Theo Wellington is capable of that.His eyes are on Dave now, and he'll do anything to take him away. “I've already told you that he's mine and Ethan's son. Just leave us alone, Theo!”I pleaded in a desperate tone, hopeful he would heed my request.But he stared at me as if I was the one torturing him. “Stop doing this, Olivia. Both you and I know Dave is our son. I don't remember you to be a dishonest person.”When did he start trusting me?Who cares if he thinks I'm honest or not?I'd rather be dishonest than let go of my happiness.I'll be selfish in all sense if it comes to ensuring my son's safety. “Allow me to do a DNA test,” Theo added. “Once the result comes out, I'll naturally leave if Dave is not my son.”But he

Olivia's POV Unless that kidnapper was invincible, he would not be so brave to step into the apartment building in daylight.He couldn't bypass the security or even had the guts to knock.When Nanny Maya ran back inside with that frightful expression, I already had an inkling who that kidnapper was. Despite that, I hoped it was not him. It shouldn't be Theo. My warning yesterday should be enough to make him back off.“Ms. Lawson, it's- It's that man.” Maya was literally shaking like a leaf as she spoke incoherently.Sighing, I took her hand, heading back in the same direction.Dave is in his room, and I don't want this to alert him.Peeking through the hole in the door confirmed my suspicion.Theo is here!“Do you know him, Ms. Lawson?”I nodded to the Nanny's question to stop her from panicking further. “B- But how?” Maya exclaimed. “Who's he? They took Dave away the other time.”I couldn't possibly explain everything to the Nanny, especially exposing Theo’s identity.So I reass
Divorced To Steal His Heart 109. Bad News
…Geneva, Switzerland.Theo's POVI woke up with anticipation in my heart, looking forward to hearing from my assistant.The DNA results should be ready, right?Olivia will no longer have any grounds to refute my claims. I ate breakfast in haste, washed up, and got dressed.And after getting ready, I couldn't wait to pick up my phone and dial Jake.But then, I realized the time difference. Cursing inside, I paced back and forth inside the suite, constantly looking at the time.Geneva is nine hours ahead of L.A. It's 6:00 AM here in Geneva, but it would still be 9:00 PM back in L.A. With no other thing to do, I sat on the couch, my gaze fixated on the tall apartment building through the floor-to-ceiling window.Knowing I had to wait nine hours before hearing from my assistant, my anxiousness increased by the minutes.Jake should have gone to sleep already, or maybe the results are not out yet.After two hours, my phone miraculously rang with the assistant's name flashing on the scr
Divorced To Steal His Heart 108. The Luxury
After my statement, a hushed silence fell across the hall.The reporters stared at each other, all of them clearly speechless.My words must be so believable that they were too shocked to react.Noises exploded, and their questions were louder than before. “Mrs. Wellington! You're Mrs. Wellington already! Are you serious, Jessica?”“If you and Mr. Wellington are already married, isn't holding that extravagant wedding a waste?”“Jessica, for how long have you been married to Theo Wellington?”“A few days ago, you posted a photo of a little boy. So it's true that he's your son with Theo Wellington.”“Why did you guys hide this important secret for many years?”“Jessica, oh- I mean, Mrs. Wellington. Is there evidence that you're telling the truth?”I saw this coming.The reporters would surely have their doubts except the ones I had my manager hire.I didn't need to speak much as they were the ones agreeing with my words, sealing the others’ curiosity.“You're a celebrity, and it's unde
