Asher walked out of the room to the living room and he stared at Olivia who sat on the chair facing the large window in the living room, a blanket over her shoulder.After her discharge, Asher has made the maid make sure she ate something, he threw a large feast, although he didn’t eat with her since he wasn’t craving anything due to the sight of Jane happily having fun with Gray.He exhaled sharply and walked over to Olivia, then he slowly sat on the chair beside her and turned his gaze to her. “Rather than staring out of the window, we can go out.” He spoke softly and Olivia didn’t spare him a glance.“I just want to be alone, can you let me be?” Her voice were weak.Asher rubbed the space between his forehead. “What exactly do ladies what?” He muttered with a frown forming on his brows.Olivia grounded her teeth and turned to him. “If you can’t handle me, then set me loose.”Asher leaned back on the chair. “I can’t, can you not endure for five years, it is not so much to ask---““I
Olivia stirred awake, her eyelashes fluttered, she slowly touched her head as she glanced around the room and sighed when she discovered it was all a dream when she was having fun with Lawrence and Chloe.“You look happy in your sleep, why frown now?” She heard Asher’s voice and glanced to her side to see him sitting on the sofa and facing her directly.She rolled her eyes at him and sat up on the bed. “I never thought I would see your face.”Asher scoffed at her words, then he put down the papers he held. “You want to see my face, isn’t that the reason you got ill and refused to eat?” He teased her, but Olivia glared at him while adjusting her hair.She looked left towards the window to discover it was already dark, she quickly glanced at the clock on the bedside and her eyes dilated.“Yes, you slept for hours, one who sees you would think I have deprived you of sleep since we are on our honeymoon.” Asher’s voice made her look at him again, she understood what he meant by those words
Olivia sat down on the table Asher has reserved for them, the waitress had also taken their orders and a huge three course meal was served on the table, it felt like a feast, Olivia glanced up at Asher who was busy eating.“I thought you are meeting someone here? Why aren’t you leaving?” Her jaw was clenched, if she can give anything, then she wouldn’t be sitting here with him, staring at his face, she wouldn’t want to see him either.Asher sipped some water from his glass before looking at her. “Olivia, what exactly do you want?” He leaned close to the table. “You want me gone, but you get sick if I am not around.” He held her gaze, his bright eyes boring into hers.“I told you before, me being in the hospital isn’t because I miss you, it’s because I want to go back to Seattle.” She reminded him again and he groaned, leaning back, he resumed eating without responding to her.“Just tell me when we would go back!” She furrowed her brows and he smirked.“We can’t go back unless you prov
Olivia’s eyes fluttered open, she glanced at the white ceiling, and slowly turned her gaze to the beeping monitor, then the iv drip that was connected to her hand, she groaned slowly realizing she was back to the hospital, she wanted to get up but then felt someone by her side.She glanced to her left and there he was, sitting next to her bed, his head rested on her bed next to her hand and his eyes shut.She exhaled sharply when she recalled how she had called him and how he had carried her in his arms to the car, he must have take her to the hospital and didn’t leave.She glanced at his wristwatch and noticed it was past eight in the morning, she then turned her gaze back to his face, she trace his long lashes with her gaze down to his sharp pointed nose and then his lips.There was no doubt, Asher was handsome, but his arrogance, his lies, they all made her despise him, she liked him when she didn’t know he would be the one getting married to her, when he was helping her escape the
It was busy and crowded as a young lady in pointed white high heels made her way out of the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.Her red luggage which she held in her hand rolled behind her as she pulled it along with her.Her red dress danced at each step she made, her lips painted with red lipstick as a smile spread through them, and she inhaled the fresh breeze that ran through her face.Not only that, but her eyes were covered with black sunglasses and her long brown hair bounced at the step she made.She stopped, halting the luggage along with her, she glanced around the airport and drew a sharp breath.“It changed.” She softly said and adjusted her sunglasses. “I wonder if coming back here is worth it.” She said to herself.“Olivia!” She heard someone scream her name and she turned around in that direction and there she was, in a yellow top and blue Jean trousers, her friend Chloe Jade.“Chloe!” Olivia screamed out in excitement as she took off her glasses as she abandoned her
Lawrence pulled over at Olivia's family apartment parking lot, and he turned to the two girls who had been talking nonstop in the back seat.“We are here.” He announced to them and stepped out of the car, they both got down and Olivia glanced at her family house.She had grown up in this building since she opened her eyes as a baby, they had not moved, and it had been a happy place for her and her family.Not until she went to further her education in Hawaii, but something about the place changed.Lawrence took out her luggage from the boot and walked over to her. “Would you stare at it all day like you haven't lived here for many years?” He questioned her when he saw her staring.Olivia turned to him and exhaled softly. “Perhaps it's because it's been three years since I saw the building.” She softly said.“What are you talking about?” Lawrence shook his head at her like she was stupid and walked ahead of her, heading inside the building.“Come on, Olivia,” Chloe told her and linked
She left his arms quickly. “No.” She quickly said and covered her chest with her arms.Lawrence didn’t sound like the person she knew three years ago, he was suddenly open-minded and straightforward.She lowered her gaze, and Lawrence glanced down at her and exhaled sharply.“Then what?” He questioned and Olivia lifted her eyes.She was silent for a while, trying to pull herself together, as his words from earlier had clouded her mind.“Why didn't you tell me you were back in Seattle?” She asked him, the last time she spoke with him, he had told her he was in Los Angeles.Lawrence touched the corner of his lips. “I didn't see the need to tell you that.” He said coldly.Olivia studied his expressionless face. “Aren't you being too harsh on me lately, Lawrence?” She questioned.She considered him her best friend, but most times he treats her like she was unimportant.“You didn't tell me you were leaving Seattle three years ago.” He clenched his jaw.“I had to leave in a hurry,” Olivia s
Standing next to the French window of a spacious office, a man in a well-tailored suit stood with his cell phone in his left ear.His right hand was in his pocket as he listened and waited for the person on the other side of the line to pick it up.It rang twice, but there was no answer as he was redirected to voicemail.He put down his cell phone and drew a sharp breath, his eyes darkened, he rubbed his forehead with his hand and glanced at the image of the lady he used as his cellphone wallpaper.He ran his hand through his hair and made his way back to his desk.Furthermore, he placed his cell phone on the glass-top desk, which fits perfectly with the modern hi-tech interior.Likewise, he pulled his chair back and sat down on it as he pressed the intercom. “Roy, to my office now.” He ordered and soon the automated door of his office was opened and Roy, a young man in his late twenties, stepped into the office.“Mr. Asher, you sent for me.” Roy quickly said as he approached his desk
