Olivia Rose Summers, was a girl raised by her grandmother and protected from the cruel world until her death which brought a great sadness upon the young girl. She was brought to her father whom she had never seen and all she hoped for was to be able to bear it all. She would never have imagined that someone like her could fall in love with a mafia heir. Mason John Jackson was living in a whole different world compared to Olivia's. A world ruled by violence. He was confused when he met her and her personality irked him. How was he to know that this was her first experience seeing his world? He never imagined himself with her, not that there was anything negative about her, just that she was the opposite of everything he is. She came into their lives and brought out the best part in them. Even in those who regarded her as naïve, illegitimate and unwanted. Excerpt: "I love your blue eyes. Makes me think about a peaceful sea.” She said getting lost in his orbs. “And I love your brown ones. Makes me think about the earth, natural and beautiful.” He told her truthfully looking deeply into her eyes.

Stars covered the night sky as Olivia looks out the window of the glamorous car she was currently in, it was a pleasant sight to see. She just wished that her life could be as pleasant.
Her mind was swimming in various kind of emotions but mostly sadness and loneliness.
Even though she has Diana, her social worker right by her side, the driver in the front driving and a bodyguard in the passenger seat, she still felt like she was the only one in the car. All of this felt overwhelming, she’s not used to any of it.
All she just wanted to do was lay down and sleep, she was very tired but trying not to fall asleep or doze off even for a moment. The last thing she wanted was to fall asleep in a car with three strangers, she didn’t trust any of them.
She was able to cope quite well when it was just Diana, and her on the flight but when they got to the airport and was picked up by two strangers, her anxiety came rushing back, knowing there is no backing out now, not that she has anywhere else to run to anyways.
Not that they make any attempt to make her feel at ease either except her social worker who had tried to assure her a bit and explain to her the nature of their journey, the period it would take, the city they are headed and who she was going there to stay with. But it never eased her worries, Diana was too professional and her speech lacked warmth which Olivia desperately needs.
She had thought the driver to be her father at first when she saw him with the Placard which spelled out her name but after the introductions, she didn’t know if she felt relieved or disappointed.
She had thought that her dad or at least any of the family members would be there to receive her. After all, she learned from her social worker that she has some siblings.
But then again, they weren’t really her family. Related by blood? yes. They are more like half-siblings. Half-siblings she never even knew she has.
Words can’t really describe how much she was missing her Grandmother right now, she still cannot believe that her grandmother died two days ago, Gone just like that. Olivia was thinking of her throughout her flight to the new city.
They got to the house; more like a mansion. After entering through the big gate guarded by securities, the car parked in the large compound and they all got out of the car. Olivia has never been in that kind of environment before. It screams wealth, elegance , luxury and any other extravagant word you could think of.
She was too busy observing the environment that she neither saw the bodyguard taking out and placing her bags beside her before he disappeared nor the woman who came out of the house and was now approaching them.
Their voices brought her attention back in time to see the woman hand over an envelope to Diana who smiled gratefully and handed her over to the woman whose expression looks as if she was being forced to receive her.
“Thank you Diana, my husband said he already settled everything with the office so there won’t be need for the normal regular checkups and all.” The woman spoke with a stoic face.
“Yes, Mrs Summers. Everything has been handled. I will take your leave now.” Diana replied.
Mrs summers? Then her dad’s wife? Olivia thought curiously.
The woman called Mrs Summers gave her a nod. Diana turned around, moved towards Olivia and handed her a card.
“You can contact me if there is any issue with your stay here.” She said, gave her a brief smile, got back into the car and the driver drove away.
Olivia was starting to get familiar with Diana but like she had said, Diana's just too professional. Olivia hopes she never have to use the card because that will mean that some trouble had surfaced in the course of her living there which she hope never happens.
“Follow me.” Mrs Summers said as she walked gracefully into the house.
The mansion was huge and quiet even though there were people walking around and Olivia wondered why they were wearing the same uniform.
What even surprised her more was the fact that there were men in black clothes in some corners of the house and they were not walking or smiling, just rooted to a spot.
The woman in front of her did not utter a single word and just walked ahead of her while Olivia followed with her two bags in her hands, not failing to notice how the girls in uniform were staring at her which makes her really uncomfortable.
The woman climbed the stairs swaying her hips while Olivia just followed her up the stairs carefully. They passed a short hallway to reveal the rooms on that floor.
Then she stopped in front of a room, opened the door, before turning back leaving the way she came. Olivia was confused and just watched the woman walk away till she disappeared out of her sight.
Olivia took it this was her room then, she entered the room and placed her bags on the floor beside the Queen sized bed.
The walls were painted blue and the room was okay as it showed that it was thoroughly cleaned and the bed perfectly arranged. There was a large bed, two bedside tables, a pure white dresser with large mirror and a black cozy sofa in the room, that’s all there is to see and She was not complaining.
She was however surprised to find the dresser stocked; perfume bottles, lotions, scented candles and some other products she doesn’t even know. What caught her attention though was the large picture on the wall, right beside the dresser mirror. It was an enlarged version of her graduation picture. How it got there? She didn’t know.
She explored further and saw that there is a walk-in closet and a spacious bathroom. The walk-in-closet was stocked as well and she was confused so she didn’t even bother checking the fabrics there. She went to close the room door and came back to unpack fully making a little space in the closet to place her clothes, she does not really have much from where she came from but she loved every seconds she had spent there.
[OLIVIA] [A YEAR LATER.]................. Bare footed, with the heavy clothing weighing me down, I ran. Without looking back, I willed my feet to continue moving with just one destination in mind. The sound of the unrelenting footstep behind me pumped my adrenalin till I saw the door wide open and thanked the heavens. I ran towards Abigail and hid behind her using her as a shield as I breath heavily. She was looking around in shock trying to find the source of my problem. Few seconds later, Scarlet came running through the door with her eyes immediately spotting mine. She came to a stop seeing her mother in between us and she bent over trying to catch her breath too. “How are you able …..able…to run so fast in what you are we…wearing?” She managed to speak out. “Oh heavens! Why are you chasing the bride, Scarlet?” Her mother asked. “She was trying to dump that on my dress.” I pointed to the container in Scarlet’s hand. Michelle suddenly came behind her and snatched the containe
[MASON]“You know, I told my brother you were there when he was born and he thought I was lying.” Willow said pointing at the boy who was busy playing a game on what I assumed will be her phone, he was very absorbed in it that he wasn’t paying attention to us at all.“He wouldn’t remember. He was two years old the last time I saw him.” I chuckled.“Yeah, that was when we broke up.”“Wait, how old is he?” Olivia asked.“He’s ten.” Willow answered.“If you guys broke up when he was two, then that means Mason was …..seventeen years old.” Olivia reasoned. “At what age did both started dating?” Olivia looked at me with accusing eyes.“Fifteen, we are the same age. We dated for two years but we’ve known each other longer than that.” Willow answered and I wished they could bring up another topic already.“Fifteen? Is that legal?” Olivia pinched my butt again and I actually winced this time.I’m definitely getting my revenge later.“It’s called puppy love, Olivia. They got together as virgins
[MASON]I was relieved after confirming that Marcus had indeed taken guards with him, the ones that stay in the background and blend in staying hidden unless there is really a threat.All I know is the Don’s presence here comes with a lot of danger. Him stepping out of his safe zone and domain will make his opponents think that he is now vulnerable enough and they would do anything to try to get the upper hand, even if it means harming someone in his life, whoever it may be.That was why I’ve been extra careful about Olivia’s movement since the Don arrived. Her dad is the Don’s shadow after all. We just finished a meeting when I had received Olivia’s text that comprises of pictures letting me know that she and Gray were not in the house.The meeting comprised of the Don, Gerald, Carlos, Peter and I. Dad didn’t beat around the bush at all, he had went straight to the point. He apologized to Gerald without letting his pride get in the way.They apologized not for killing his brother who
[OLIVIA]The unfamiliar lady was staring again but then she smiled widely and that was when I realized, I wasn’t the one she had been glancing at, it was Marcus. The first time I noticed her gaze I had been sitting next to Marcus and now I’m also sitting beside him after Julius arrived.“What the fuck?” Marcus mumbled out still staring at her.The lady stood up and was coming towards us.“Who is she?” I asked.“Your fiance’s ex-girlfriend.” Marcus replied with mischievousness glinting in his eyes.“What? How come she is here?” I asked looking back at the lady who was still approaching us.“Mason didn’t tell you they met before you came here? They saw each other coincidentally and talked for a while.” Marcus asked and even though I love that he was telling me the truth to every questions I asked, the way he was so blunt about it amazed me.Now remembering, Mason did tell me he met with her. He had mentioned it when I had confronted him about Anastasia’s comment the first time she saw m
[OLIVIA]We all sat in a circle speaking one after the other with smiles on our faces. Leo was in Julius’ lap with the man’s hoodie held tightly in his grasp, I guess he felt like he was going to disappear again.Laurel had her head on his shoulder with her eyes still dripping and she was occasionally wiping it away. We all just did as if it was normal, the woman was very excited to see her husband again.Turns out I had misunderstood earlier thinking the man was Leo’s biological father. I didn’t know Leo considers Julius his dad nor did I think he would still remember him since he was very young when Julius was put away but the young boy did, he remembers the man who loves him immensely and always read him bedtime stories before sleep.Besides, Laurel said ever since Julius was locked up, she will always show her son pictures of her husband and bring up memories about the three of them just so Leo won’t forget Julius. It was hard because her doing that meant that Leo would be constan
[OLIVIA]“You better shut your mouth, Gray.” Marcus warned.The little boy reached Marcus and hugged his legs while Marcus patted his head. After they were done with their greeting. Marcus took his hand and they walked towards a woman seated on a spread-out fabric. She was already watching us.She smiled as we approach and then stood up.“Lauren.” Marcus smiled before giving her a hug.“I’m so glad you could make it. This one wouldn’t stop asking me when his uncle Marcus would be coming.” The woman said and the little boy looked embarrassed hiding his face behind his palms.So adorable.Marcus knelt on one knee removing the boy’s palms from his face.“Happy birthday, Leo.” He said before stretching out the container of fish rolls and the little wrapped box towards the boy.“My birthday gift?” The boy asked with a tone that made me wonder if he has never received a birthday gift before.“Yes. It’s all yours, buddy. Open it when you get home.” Marcus replied and the boy smiled happily n
[OLIVIA]“Come on Marcus, are you going to ignore me forever?” I whined.Mason has been gone the whole day and I’ve been very bored staying at home. Marcus was still holding a grudge against me because of what happened two days ago. His laptop slipped from my hands, it wasn’t intentional but he does not care whether it was intentional or if it was an accident.I even said I would buy him a new one but he declined. To be honest, I do not think any damage was done to the laptop at all after it fell but Marcus had snatched it away from my hands when I went to pick it. The screen was still on and there wasn’t even a crack. Nevertheless, he claimed I had ruined it and was yelling at me.What upset him the more was the fact that Mason had threatened to break his bones the next time he talks or yells at me the way he did. He has been ignoring me ever since but right now, I really need a companion before I go insane.“Should I cook for you?” I asked him and watched him blink rapidly biting h
[MASON] Everyone was outside preparing to go back to the hotel as the Don refused to spend the night in an unfamiliar environment. I just learned that the hotel they were staying at belongs to one of his close associates and so it was completely safe for him and his family.It was very dark outside and I plan on sending an extra security detail after them. Not being paranoid but one can’t be too careful. Carelessness however brings about nothing but disaster.The Don called me aside and we walked a few distance away from the others.“I just wanted to say, happy birthday.” He said with a slight smile.I checked my watch to see that the time was two minutes to twelve and I chuckled. It was almost the second day and past our birthdays.“I’m still on time.” The Don chuckles and I do the same.“Thanks.” I replied and he nodded before taking out something from his pockets and handing it to me.It was a flash and I was immediately curious to know what was on it.“I’m sorry, for everything.
[OLIVIA] Marcus was in his seat chattering away with Scarlet who was very excited on hearing the new happenings in his life. Thankfully, Scarlet had a rethink at the last minute earlier and pause in her plan of hauling her heel at Marcus. “Soooo, still no girlfriend?” Scarlet asked her brother who cringed at her question. Marcus shook his head and she shifted forwards staring at him differently which made Marcus stared back at her skeptically. “Just tell the truth, brother. Are you asexual?” Scarlet asked seriously. “All because I don’t have time for dating right now?” Marcus rolled his eyes at her. “Then, when will you have the time? You are pushing thirty!” “Get off my case, Scarlet. Here, have this!” Marcus shoved some food into her mouth and she glared at him while chewing at the same time. The sight was quite funny to me and almost everyone at the table found it funny too. “I need to attend to a situation. Will be back in a few minutes.” Mason whispered into my ears and
