LOGINOlivia's POV My toes curled as he snapped his eyes to meet mine. His steel-blue gaze felt like a magnet. They drew me in, but I quickly shook the thought away and diverted my stare. “Why did you leave without proper inspection?” was the first thing he said. The sharp scent of alcohol drifted into my nose. Why was he drinking so early? “I’m sorry, I wasn’t aware she would mix things up.” I tried to sound firm, but inside I was melting. He flexed his arms and slicked his hair backward with a sigh. “I thought you promised to place a capable replacement. Are you sure it isn’t too early to hand over everything?” he murmured, this time scanning the papers. My mouth opened then clamped shut. I wondered why the new replacement couldn’t just focus. Imagine her calling me almost at the verge of tears, saying the boss was too cold and he even yelled at her in the meeting. I was rather surprised, because it was unlike Christian. But then I knew this man had fancy perfection. “I
CHRISTIAN She paused, turned towards me, and said, “Let me go.” My heart jolted as I shook my head instantly. “I won’t. I’m exhausted from this endless silent treatment, Olivia,” I said with a heavy sigh. She blinked, pried my hands open, and freed herself. “There’s no silent treatment between us. In fact, there’s nothing at all,” she spat. “What do you mean...” “I’m done, Christian,” was all she said. A hollow laugh escaped my throat. “I don’t understand. Done with what?” I asked, forcing calm into my voice.Deep within me, I was about to unravel. Hopefully, it was just space she craved for.She folded her arms across her chest. “You heard me clearly. There’s nothing. I’m no longer interested in you.” Her words struck like a slap across my face. My mouth opened and closed. “You can’t be serious. Was this why you quit your job? Because of me?” She dragged her hand across her hair, a scoff slipped her lips. “You must think highly of yourself, Mr. Hayes,” she murmured, pr
OLIVIA My body froze at the sudden embrace. Ethan wrapped his hand around me tightly. “I don’t know what to do, Oli, I don’t…” I pulled away, gripping his hand. “It’s not your fault, okay? This is going to be tough, but I know it will pass. I’m still in shock too,” I murmured. “Can I please stay with you?” he whispered. At that moment, I wanted to refuse. But then… He had been sending me a series of messages on how his mom was suddenly rushed to the hospital and sadly she passed away. Just like that. No prior sickness or accident, a sudden heart attack took her.Even though I don't want him here, pushing him away might feel cruel. I was about to speak when he rushed in. “I just want to stay here. I won’t disturb you, I promise. I don’t want to go back h…home.” His voice cracked. A single tear slid down his cheek. I didn’t hesitate this time, I held his hand and guided him into my apartment. He sank onto the couch while I quickly prepared tea for him. He kept sniffing
ChristianStanding stunned, I couldn’t believe what Olivia just said.Before I could stop myself, I knocked on the door, but no response.I knocked again. Yet… The same silence welcomed me.A sharp breath escaped my lips as I dragged my hand through my hair, then turned and strode toward my car. The ride home wasn't peaceful, my mind churned restlessly because I had tried calling Olivia countless times, but every call went unanswered, and my texts got undelivered. “Uhmmm…” I cleared my throat and glanced at the driver, who flicked his eyes at me through the rear mirror. “What happens if a message refuses to be delivered?” I asked. He pressed his lips together. “Maybe her phone is dead,” he muttered. “That’s not true. Her phone can’t be..” “Or she blocked you, boss.” His words cut me off, and my eyes widened slightly. Oh wait… She couldn’t possibly block me, right? “How certain are you?” I must have looked foolish asking this of my driver. “If the message keeps f
OLIVIA Checking my wristwatch, it was nearly time for lunch break. Just as I was about to rise, a call froze me in place. Turning, the name Jenna blazed across the screen like a warning light. With a warm smile curling around my lips, I quickly answered. “Liv, how dare you ignore me for days? I’ve been trying to reach you, and don’t tell me nothing’s wrong because I know something is!” she scolded. My lips parted, but before I could speak, her voice rushed in again, “Are you avoiding me?” My mouth twitched. “Of course not!” “So what’s the matter then?” Maybe she had cornered me. Drawing a sharp breath, I murmured, “It’s not something terrible, I just felt a little let down by something I heard.” I won’t lie, ever since the day I had sex with Christian my mind had been chained to humiliation. “Come on, talk to me. Who dared to make my sweet Liv down?” Though her voice had softened, I just couldn’t reveal the truth. “Okay, so it’s a friend,” I whispered. “You made
ETHAN The moment I saw Olivia step out of the cab, I dashed towards her. “Can we talk, please?” I asked, but she rolled her eyes. “We have nothing to discuss,” she replied, trying to move away. I caught her hand, but she yanked it free, with a sharp gaze thrown at me. “Are you insane? Do I have to spell it out? I’m not having any conversation with you,” she snapped, then turned and walked off. My chest tightened. With a deep breath, I refused to let what I had built with Olivia collapse just like that, so I chased after her. She must have noticed because her steps halted at the front her door, then she turned to face me. “Why are you following me? Do you want me to call the cops for trespassing?” she asked with a cold tone. I swallowed and shook my head. “You know it’s not like that. Sophie is the one forcing herself between us, I swear I don’t love her, I don’t want her, but she won’t listen,” I pleaded with my hand clasped together. A frown creased her face as sh
OLIVIAThe question seemed to make him pause. He drew a deep breath, his hand snaking around my waist, pulling me closer to his chest.“Why would I go with other women when I have you..Huh?” he asked, leaning closer.His face was a few inches from mine, and I swallowed hard. “But I'm not saying th
OLIVIA An awkward chuckle left my lips. “Sex…” I paused, waving dismissively. “I just came back from a long walk, and I’m probably sweaty,” I said, trying to sound as natural as possible. She was about to speak, but I already opened my door. “I’m tired, I need to bathe,” I said, closing the do
OLIVIAAfter Christian finished eating my pussy on the kitchen counter, he received an emergency that demanded his attention. He kissed me goodbye and left. Alone, I quickly showered before diving straight into work.I slept for just two hours, and the fact that I had only that little time to sle
OLIVIATheir eyes widened immediately when they saw me. They both bowed. “I…we are sorry ma’am,” they muttered incoherently, before rushing out of the restroom. I drew in a shaky breath, tightening my grip on the sink. I didn’t want this to get to me, but who was I kidding? Those words pierced m
