Se connecterOlivia's POV Her expression hardened. “When you’re done, use the door.” With that, she turned and walked away. My breath caught as I tried to move my hand, but it was useless, the pain burned like fire searing through my veins. Eventually, I rose to my feet. Staring at the food smeared across the floor, I decided to clean before leaving. From what just happened, it showed that Jenna still had cared about me, but what I couldn’t grasp were the consequences she mentioned. A heavy sigh escaped my lips. I just hoped things would improve between us. I missed my best friend. After tidying up, I sauntered out of the hotel and spotted Christian standing beside the car with his phone pressed to his ear. He smiled as he ended the call and closed the distance between us. “How did it go?” he asked. A faint smile tugged at my lips. “She accepted the food but doesn’t want to talk to me yet,” I lied, though part of it was true. “Don’t worry, my personal doctor will attend to her an
Olivia's POV Staring intently at the design I had sketched, I couldn’t help but sense something missing, though I couldn’t place my finger on it. A weary sigh escaped my lips as I shredded the paper for the tenth time and returned to sketching again. Lost in thought, the sudden knock on my door startled me like.It's the weekend , can't I have my own peace? I shifted my focus back to what I was doing, but then a message flashed across my screen. “Are you not at home?” came a text from Christian. Instantly, I shot up, flinging the door open. He stood across the room draped in a fur coat. My brow furrowed in confusion. “What’s the occasion?” I asked, stepping aside so he could enter. It was unusual for him to visit dressed so formally. His lips curved faintly. “Can’t I come and see my princess?” he murmured, shutting the door behind him. I drifted to the couch. “Of course you can. I’m just curious about the fur coat. Were you coming from somewhere?” I asked, turning towar
Sophie's POV Staring at the message, “Arghhh!!” I screamed, hurling my phone across the room as the loud shattering sound echoed.Clutching my hair, that bitch! She refused to leave me alone, even after all I had done to make her back off. I wished I could just strangle her with my bare hands. If she uploaded that video, Ethan would see it, and the last chance I had with him would vanish like mist under the sun. Breathing sharply, I forced myself to calm down and weave a new plan carefully. With that thought, I changed my dress. Oh yes, I kept spare phones, in case I smashed one, I had backups. Immediately, I sent a message to Jenna: “Hi, can we meet?” Instantly, a reply came. “Sure.” What followed the text was an address. A smile curved on my lips as I walked out, got into the car and drove off. Standing before the hotel, my breath caught in my throat at the towering building standing before me.“Fuck!” I bellowed, not because I hadn’t seen it before, but because someon
Olivia's POV Pressing my lips together, I slipped away quietly so he wouldn't notice me.I rinsed my shirt swiftly, and by the time I returned to the seat, he was already waiting. “Hey, I was about to come find you,” he murmured as he pulled the chair out for me. I smiled. “It’s nothing, I just went to clean my dress and wash my hands.” I said, pointing at the blotch on the fabric. His brow creased. “How did this happen?” he asked, eyes fixed on the stain.“A mistake, forget about it. What about you? You have been receiving too many calls, is everything fine?” I asked deliberately while studying his face. He smiled faintly. “Just routine work, nothing serious,” he muttered. My stomach twisted, knowing he was lying but I didn't press further. The rest of the dinner blurred, and Christian drove me to my apartment. “Should I pick you up tomorrow morning?” he asked as he stepped out of the car to stand before me. I shook my head. “You don’t need to,” I said with a sigh
Olivia's POV The next thing was Christian’s hand on my face, making me gaze at him. “I don’t ever want to hear you say that again. This is not your fault. We are not guilty, and neither is Jenna. We just got swept up in the moment,” he whispered. I blinked. “B…but…” His finger pressed against my lips, silencing my words.“This moment will fade. What is life without problems, this is the time we need each other.” he said, his finger brushing my cheeks gently. “I love you, and you love me. That is what matters,” he added with a faint smile. The sound of someone clearing their throat jolted me back to reality, and I shifted slightly to see Antony. “Boss, you have urgent matters,” he murmured, his gaze locked on Christian. My lips parted to speak, but Christian turned toward me, placing a brief kiss on my cheek. “I will see you after work,” he said, and with that, he strode away. A heavy sigh escaped my lips before I drifted back to my office. What Jenna said earlier still
Olivia's POV“Jenna.” The word slipped out before I could stop myself.She sat at the far end, and it felt as though a board meeting was already in session.I blinked. “Oh… the boss is here,” she said, lifting one of her eyebrows.“What is the meaning of this, Jenna?” Christian asked, trying to move toward her.She tilted her head. “I’m just setting the record straight. I won’t allow injustice to slip through the company’s policies,” she said calmly.I clasped my hands together and swallowed hard. A part of me told me she had come to cause trouble, but that wasn’t what I saw.My eyes remained on my best friend, who had lost weight. Her hair, once perfectly styled, looked slightly disheveled.Even though she acted normal, I knew too well that she wasn’t okay, and it hurt my heart to know I had caused this.“Can we talk, Jenna?” I offered.She scoffed and glared at me sharply. “Who gave you the right to interfere in this?” she asked.For the first time, she raised her voice at me.“When
OLIVIA My fingers clenched around the invitation, and I slowly began tearing it apart. Don’t misunderstand me, I wasn’t angry, it just felt unsettling that they had chosen my birthday for their anniversary. I tossed the invite, gathered my belongings, and left the office. I was nearly at the
OLIVIA I bit my lower lip, “Mr Ha..” before I could finish my statement, he leaned in and captured my lips.His hand clasped my neck, pulling me closer. My fingers crawled to his shoulder while my hips instinctively pressed forward as I thrust my tongue into his mouth. I was nearly breathless b
OLIVIA The loud blare of the alarm made me groan as I sank deeper into the mattress, covering my ears with my hands.Yet it did nothing to silence the noise. Frustrated, I got up and switched it off.With a deep sigh, I checked the time.Shit! It was almost time for work. I rose with a long yawn.
OLIVIA “If you don't want to, it's fine,” I said, trying to sound like I truly didn't want it. He didn't press further. He straightened his shirt, averting his gaze to the laptop. Just as I turned to walk away, his hand dragged me, making me fall into his chest. A gasp escaped my lips. He le
