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?

    “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

    …Olivia's POV How did he do it? I could assume the Nanny was kidding or just pulling up an act in order not to make me worry, But no sane adult would joke in such a situation. And the Nanny sounded very sure. I had to probe again and again to make sure she wasn't pulling my legs. Should I be relieved that Dave was fine? Or should I be more worried that he managed to take the kidnappers phone without them knowing?The more I thought about it, the more worried I became. What kind of kidnappers were they?Was my son safe as the Nanny reported? “No matter what, this is a good sign, Olivia.” Bonnie had been enthusiastic ever since the Nanny's phone call came in. “This will give us a lead on Dave's whereabouts. We can just track the number he called the Nanny with.”That's a great idea.In fact, I've already told the Nanny to forward that number to my phone-Hopefully, my son's life would soon be out of danger. Dave is a smart kid, but if those kidnappers knew how smart he was, they

    Still, I should see if I can help. I came all the way from Geneva to help cure Grandpa, and I was still here when he fell into this condition which means I can't just ignore him. If nothing, I should at least check on him. “Ethan, don't worry. I'll be back in a jiffy,” I reassured, but Ethan shook his head. “Maybe tomorrow. You should rest, Olivia. You know what stress does to a person.”Right.Ever since I came to L.A., I'd been stressed both physically and mentally. First, I had to hide from Theo and then came the news of my son's kidnap.I can't rest, though. And I'm pretty sure that Theo wouldn't have the mind to return to the hospital after what he did to his grandfather.So the chances of meeting him are very low. I didn't listen to Ethan this time despite understanding that he was only looking out for me. “You can come with me if you want,” I suggested.Since he's so concerned about keeping me safe, I don't mind letting him tag alone.“Whatever you say.” Ethan sighed. “I

    Carbon dioxide?How? That's very dangerous! Grandpa could die!“Let me have a look.” Without wasting a second, I shoved through the crowd of nurses and checked the heart monitor machine. As expected, the old man’s heartbeat was irregular but not so weird as to cause a panic.In fact, his slowed heartbeat was restoring to normal gradually. Still, the need to admit quick medication to dispel the strange gas from his system is vital. He must have inhaled the gas for two or three seconds, otherwise, he wouldn't have survived if the oxygen mask had been on for long.“This is strange. Who could have replaced the actual oxygen with smoke?” Dr. Natasha expressed the same thoughts bothering me. Even the nurses were confused as they all stared at each other with furrowed brows.“Such a thing has never happened before!” “The workers never made such a huge mistake.”“What's happening then?”“Who could have tampered with the oxygen bank?”“Do you think the old man's life is in danger?”“Is s

    …Theo's POV I shouldn't have placed my phone on silent last night if I knew I would wake up to so many missed calls from the hospital director. Staring at the thirty missed call notifications, my apprehension knew no bounds.Grandpa…What if? I had no time to make any assumptions. As I got out of the bed, I rushed straight into the bathroom.I washed up immediately, dressed up and hurried out. “Going to work so early? Are you trying to ditch me, Theo?” I came to a halt, almost crashing into the boy on my way downstairs. He was still in his pajamas, rubbing his sleepy eyes. Damn. Why is he out of bed early?I could tell him yes, and he would insist on following me to work.If I told him no, he could bombard me with questions about where I'm going and insist in the end to follow me. “Be good. I'll come back soon.” I reached out and ruffled his hair, but the boy didn't seem to like it as he shoved my hand off. “From the looks of it, you're trying to ditch me. When are you gonna

    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

    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

    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

    …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
