OLIVER'S POV"Ma'am, please calm down." He tried calming Mom down, but she just won't have any of it till she knows her husband's state. I ain't blaming her either; I was kind of getting impatient already."Doctor, tell me, what is happening to my husband?" She asked, grabbing his white cloak.The doctor's face dropped immediately, and he gently held Mom's hands, trying to soothe her or something."I'm sorry, madam; we tried all we could, but we lost him," he said. His countenance fell almost immediately, and his brows went up in a furrow."Lost who?" My mom asked, looking from the doctor to me in a confused state."Son, what is he saying? Did he just say he lost your father?" She asked me amidst tears. I didn't know what to say; I just stood there watching as tears flooded her eyes in an instant. I felt tears slipping down my cheeks."No! No!! No!!! This can't be true!" She screamed as she fell to the floor, crying. I quickly held onto her while she le
"Mom, what fuck have you done this time around? And why does she think I am her fiance?""Language!" she barked at me."That young, sweet lady out there is a very successful girl with all the right connections you can think of.""What does that have to do with it?" I snapped at Mom."Everything Oliver! Every single thing! Your father and I had sealed this engagement with them long before he died," she screamed right back at me."Why was I not informed, for heaven's sake?"I yelled back at her without thinking for a split second."Son, this is for the family; we all have sacrifices we are bound to make for the growth of this family." She went on preaching."I don't even know what games you are playing, and I don't really care, Mom, but just so you know, this game you are playing will not work this time around." I snarled and made to work out on her."Ooh!" I heard Mom scream as she swerved back a bit while holding her head. I grabbed hold of her and gently made her sit down on the chai
How I made it home after I heard about Oliver's engagement to whoever that stupid lady was was still a mystery to me. My heart was broken into many tiny pieces, and I don't think there is any way to repair it. I slumped onto the couch, crying my eyes out, the minute I closed the door. I was angry at Oliver for not telling me he was engaged to some rich girl and for playing me for a fool. To think he lied about loving me made me cry even more."Is this what love is about?" I yelled out in pain, crying profusely.Tears flowed so freely as I blamed myself for not seeing the handwriting on the wall. I was so naive that I didn't read much meaning into his disappearance."How could I not see it?" I asked myself, confused."Dumb girl," I cursed, amidst tears. If only I wasn't carried away by my stupid fantasy, I would have seen every damn single thing so clearly.I spent the night crying till I dozed off.* * * * * *It has been days since the announcement, and I still can't convince myself
I forgot about work. I hurriedly prepared for work while he was on the bed admiring me. He occasionally smacks my buttocks, making me blush. I was honestly fighting the urge to hop right into bed with him again and create some sweet memories, but I just had to concentrate. Oliver has the knack of disorganizing me.I was done preparing and ready to leave."I'm done; we should go smarty.""Isn't your neck a little too naked?"I touched my neck and realized I wasn't wearing a necklace. I quickly pulled open my jewelry box and grabbed one. I was about to wear my necklace when he stood up from the bed, butt naked.I glanced at him from the mirror, and I felt a pool of wetness welling up in my core. He bent over, picked up his jacket from the floor, dipped his hands into the side pocket, and fished out something.He came closer to me; I could feel his length brushing against my shoulder. I was flushed, but I didn't move an inch as I stood looking at him in the mirror."I wanted to give you
"Charm, is anything the matter?" Oliver asked, grabbing me from behind. I was too bewildered to give him any response."What the hell am I getting myself involved in?" I asked myself. Oliver turned me over to face him."Are you okay?" he asked, inspecting my body to figure out why I had screamed earlier."I'm fine," I quickly replied, masking my shock."I don't think you are a fine charm," he said while still insisting I tell him what was wrong with me. I quickly told him that I had forgotten to pick up some documents at the office."You scared me, Charm," he said as he sighed in relief."I'm sorry I scared you.""Do you want to go pick it up?" he asked me."Nah, I will just get it done tomorrow.""Are you sure, Charm? I don't want you to have another issue with Tanner.""I will be fine, Oliver," I replied. I got into the car immediately, but I couldn't shake off the shock written all over.I said it: Tanner never gives me a case without a catch; how could I go against one of the most
I woke up exhausted from our little rendezvous yesterday. I didn't know that I had it in me.Well, I guess Oliver brings out the best in me. If you know what I mean, I sighed the very moment I remembered I had to be at work this morning."Stupid job" Should I quit already? I was beginning to get tired of the work pressure, and now I have corruption to uncover."Damn Tanner," I cursed. I quickly remembered my super hot Oliver, who was sleeping next to me. I smiled, since I woke up I have been facing the other side of the bed.I quickly turned over to get a glimpse of Oliver. But an empty bed was what I saw, my brows went up in a furrow, contemplating where he was.Hold on, did I kick him down from the bed? I gasped and immediately sat up to check on the floor.I heaved a sigh of relief when I didn't see him on the floor. I fumbled with my hair, remembering his deep voice whispering crazy things in my ear all through the night."Wait up; if he isn't on the floor, where is he then?" I
"Hi, beautiful!" Oliver's deep voice whispered into the receiver.I chuckled. "Hi, Oly," I shyly replied."How is your day going?""Not so great, but your call did the magic.""I'm glad. Did you enjoy your breakfast?""It was delicious," I giggled."Are you done with the board meeting?""Yeah, I'm exhausted.""Do you need a massage?"He laughed so loudly on the phone, "I would love that; only we might indulge in another form of massage.""Naughty!" I said, giggling."You love it when I am naughty."I heard a knock on the door. "Who..." I was about to ask him who was at the door, when the door opened and the sound of high heels filled the air."Oliver," I heard whoever it was called out, and before I could say another word, the line went dead."What just happened?" I asked myself, staring at my phone."Whatever," I said, tossing the phone into my bag.Why would he hang up without prior notice?"Could it be his mom?" I screamed at the realization that he might be in so much trouble beca
I froze at the sound of that familiar voice. I quickly stood while feeling like I was being bitten by an ant.Dean turned as well toward the voice."Nothing," I quickly replied as Oliver stared from me to Dean, confused."Oliver, what are you doing here?" Dean asked."I should be asking you that, Dean," he said as he walked in. I was quickly reminded of our stay at the hotel last month."Charmer, did you make this?" Oliver asked the instant his eyes rested on the plate."Smarty, don't you dare make fun of my award-winning cooking skills," I warned him.He chuckled. "What are you guys celebrating?" he asked looking from dean to me. "Just having dinner," I replied."Well, I hope you guys don't mind if I join then," he said, disappearing into the kitchen.Dean and I silently looked at each other without saying a word."Are things between you guys cool now?" Dean asked. I guess he must be talking about the day he helped me escape from Oliver.I was about to reply to him when Oliver appea
