LOGINSophie's POV I lifted my brow, watching as her expression changed. “Are you…” Before she could finish her words, a woman cut in. “It’s just an apology, why can’t she just offer it?” Voices rippled through the crowd, swelling my pride as I raised my head high, with a smirk tugging at the corner of my lips. She seemed conflicted, staring at me with a hard gaze. “I could have lost my baby in your cruel act, but I’m grateful I still stand here healthy and sound.” “But now you refuse to apologize. What have I done to deserve such hatred from you, sis?” I added, layering my tone with feigned sorrow to harvest sympathy. She parted her lips to speak when a commanding voice cut through the air. The crowd scattered like frightened birds, it must have been someone of authority. And I was right, as the face of Mr. Williams became visible. “What on earth is happening here? Why is everyone assembled during work hours?” he demanded, his gaze shifting from me to Olivia. “Good morni
Olivia's POV I tried to help her up. But suddenly, "Do you have anything to say to this? Are you truly a home wrecker?” The journalist bombarded me with questions, camera flashes exploding like lightning that made my stomach twist. I felt my anxiety crawl across my skin as I tried to cover my ear to block the noise, but someone clasped my hand and pulled me away at the last minute. “Are you still choosing a mistress over your own fiance?” The journalist pursued us, but we slipped past until we reached my apartment. My chest rose and fell as I stared into space. “I’m sorry this had to happen to you,” came a voice that made me frown. Staring up at Ethan, his eyes carried worry. I stood, and the next moment my palm landed a slap across his face. His eyes widened as his head jerked to the side. Before he could speak, I pointed at the door. “Get. Out!” I snapped. He and Sophie orchestrated this. They wanted to destroy me. Just how far were these people willing to meddle
Olivia'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 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
