Divorced To Steal His Heart 67. A Smart Idea
…Theo's POV Thomas Sinclair.I shouldn't be surprised.This is the reason why I rarely keep any friends. People can't be trusted, especially strangers whom you've saved from the slums and helped them build their lives. How dare he try to kill Grandpa after all the old man had done for him.I would have snatched the gun from one of the Cops and shot him right there and then, and then nothing would happen.But I'd like Grandpa to wake up first and witness it for himself. Many times, the people he'd helped always turned against him. Just like Thomas Sinclair and his allies.“Calm down, Theo. Or you might burst from fury.” Dave sat beside me, playing games with my phone.It's as if he could sense my anger as the boy seemed engrossed in what he was doing. “So how did it go? Did the criminal confess?” He asked. Thomas didn't.He didn't look regretful in fact. It's as if he had some backing. As if he's a hundred percent sure that someone would come to save him.“He didn't confess,” I

I have to be cautious from now on. Anyone that would go near Grandpa should be screened properly, to avoid what happened before from happening again. I need to see that doctor and have a private discussion then see if he's someone that can be trusted.“Uhm, about that…” Dr. Davison sounded unsure. “Mr. Wellington, I'm still working on that. Only a competent doctor should go with him.”“What about the Doctor who performed the surgery?” I asked. I haven't had time to thank him yet.I personally want to meet that doctor, because I think he'll be the only person capable enough to take care of Grandpa. Dr. Davison coughed. “Uhmm, Dr. Oli- I mean, that Doctor isn't available now. But I'll try my best while we make preparations to transfer your grandfather to the Island.”“Please do that quickly,” I said before hanging up.How could that doctor be unavailable?Well, he'd better be available.I'm pretty sure that he would jump at this opportunity. Not only will I make sure he receives the

…Olivia's POVAfter having a long conversation with Dr. Davison, I was completely worn out.As much as he tried to convince me, I couldn't…Following Grandpa Victor to that Island is the most dangerous thing for me to do at the moment.No doubt, my cover would finally be blown as Theo would definitely find me. And that would hinder me from searching for my son.“Ahhhh, Olivia, that guy is crazy!” I jumped in shock, hearing Bonnie's loud voice from my hotel suite.I didn't expect to meet her here. When and how did she get inside without the security notifying me?I had to push my curiosity to the back of my mind when I noticed Bonnie's pale expression.Wondering what she was staring at in her phone, I dropped my bag and sat beside her. “What guy? Is everything alright?”“That damned kidnapper!” Bonnie shouted. “H- He wants me to- He wants me…” She trailed off, handing the phone over for me to have a look. Unlike Bonnie, I'm not much surprised by the response.When she sent him her p

Maybe I'm seeing wrong.Or maybe it's been too many years, and I've forgotten about the guy's existence that's why I'm shocked. How could I forget the guy who had constantly annoyed me five years ago? I should turn around and leave, He could take care of himself, but before I took a step, the guy saw me.“It would be an honor to die in such a beauty’s hands. But I've finally seen my angel again, so I'll have to disappoint you.” With one hand, Mike pushed Bonnie away and skidded towards me. The same fear from five years ago returned to my heart.The fear of being constantly disturbed. He's all over the place, leaving no room for me to breathe.Michael Kensington has probably become one of my nightmares.He didn't hold back but hugged me with all his might, his bold action jolting me to speechlessness. “Olivia, how could you be so cruel to my love? You ran away five years ago, leaving me heartbroken. Did I scare you off? I searched all over the globe and couldn't find you. Now that

…Theo's POV Gradually, I found myself pulled into a bottomless abyss of endless nightmares.One moment, she was here, and the next, she was gone, taken away by one dangerous thing after the other.First, it was the storm,And then came the heavy traffic that blocked my path until her figure faded in the distance.She called out my name, and my eyes darted anxiously around the crowded party, but then nobody in that room looked like her.I sat up on the bed, reaching out to turn on the bedside lamp.Inside the cool room, rapid sweat poured down from my forehead, dampening my pajama shirt. That was a strange nightmare. Olivia…Did she turn into a ghost and has started hunting me in my dreams? Am I losing my mind?Why can't I stop thinking about her? Was this turning into an obsession?I should probably let go already. Eventually, Grandpa would forgive me. The old man couldn't stay mad at me forever, would he? The fact that I'd started seeing her in my dreams meant she might alread

After Dave left, I reached out for the bottle of whiskey anyway. Discussing the matter with him didn't help. I'd look forward to the boy offering me words of comfort, but then he blatantly expressed his disappointment.Well, who wouldn't be disappointed in me in such a situation?I divorced young. I didn't consider anyone’s feelings. But Grandpa's control over me was suffocating at that time. I needed to stand on my own feet. I needed to make my own choices. A while later as the dark sky outside began clearing up, I headed back to my bedroom upstairs. Finding my phone's screen on, I wondered what notification just came in.I grabbed the phone from the bedside table and stared at the several missed calls from one person. Mr. Kensington. Why did he call many times? Seemed like it had been over an hour now since he started calling me.Strange.Although Mr. Kensington and I are now solid business partners and have built a good relationship over the past few years, we barely commun

I arrived at the City's First Hospital. The same VIP Ward Mike had been admitted into five years ago. A nostalgic feeling hit me, bringing back a lot of memories.These hospital walls echoed with so many memories. Jessica's accident. Mike's accident. Those memories were all tied to one person… Olivia.Will I never escape from constantly thinking about her? When will I stop getting exposed to situations that always lead me to think about her? “Ahhhh! Let go of me! Don't touch me!”The commotion inside the ward brought me back to the present.Mike was surrounded by several nurses who tried to pin him down,But the guy overpowered all of them, pushing anyone that tried to touch him away.“If you don't leave me alone, I'll make sure this hospital goes down!” He yelled. “Just bring me my precious angel.”“Mr. Kensington, please calm down.”“You're bleeding too much.”“We need to clean your wounds before they get infected.”The nurses looked exhausted and some of them had even collap

…Olivia's POV Hopefully, this is not a trap. We've already concluded the topic with Dr. Davison and I know he would respect my wish,However,People can be unpredictable, right?What if he's actually summoning me to continue that topic?What if he already has a way he could use to get me to agree?I should stop being paranoid.I have to focus. “You sure you can handle it alone?” Ethan asked as he dropped me off at the hospital.I nodded, forcing a smile.Honestly, I would have loved for him to accompany me. I have a feeling that I won't be able to handle Dr. Davison alone,But Ethan has a family emergency and has to fly to Delawares immediately.I waved him goodbye as he drove off, hoping none of his parents had fallen sick.Then I turned and stared at the huge building standing in front of me.Returning to this place is risky.I might bump into Theo again like last time. But Dr. Davison made it sound so urgent that I couldn't turn him down… Hopefully, I'm not gonna regret this!

Divorced To Steal His Heart 121. Traumatized
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
Divorced To Steal His Heart 113. His Help
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
