"Mr Maynard.... The fast rising USA actress is " Olivia Dalton " , Your ex - wife and she swear not to feature in the same movie as you. " He laughs and said nothing else afterwards, because he was sure that when she hears of him, she'd go on her knees and beg for his love as she had always begged. "Ms. Dalton? The contract is ready and the interest this time is 30℅, meaning you are 160 million richer, The offer was made directly by Mr Maynard. " She smiles and removed her sun glasses. "Throw the contract in the trash can and have my current contract with the company terminated, Inform Mr Maynard that I'm Olivia Dalton, not Olivia Maynard."

"You're so amazing baby!"Olivia moves uncomfortably on the bed, curling herself up but careful not to make any noise.The conversation Maynard is having keeps breaking her heart and she wishes there was a way to stop him from doing so.Over thirty minutes, she has been awake, listening to the phone call her husband was making.Not like it's the first time, on several occasions... Maynard was seen with a lady whose face Olivia has never gotten to see. A night, she saw Maynard going into an hotel with hands wrapped firmly around a lady.Olivia could not see the lady's face since she could only have a glimpse of their back view.It's not the typical her to just storm into the hotel, pull the lady by her hair and curse her never to get close to her husband. Olivia remained calm nonetheless. "...I can't wait to see you! Can't wait to get massaged by you.."Olivia takes her lower lips in and bites on it hard as it wounds her deeply to watch Maynard flirt with another woman right in her presence.It would have been a whole lot better if he had stepped out to make the call. At least, she would not have woken up to the sound of his voice.Reaching out to her phone, She checks the time. It's midnight already yet he's still flirting with someone while she's alone on a cold bed. With her eyes slightly open, She watches Maynard place his phone down and walks out of the room.She's not the type of person to snoop on someone else's cellphone but she can't help it. Pushing the duvet away, she rushes over to his phone with shaky hands.Olivia stares at Maynard's cellphone with tears brimming in her eyes as she went through his photos and text messages and even who his last caller is.It pierces her emotions so deep that Maynard had maintained lots of contacts with Vernes. Her núdé and sexy pictures were all over his phone.She Places the phone down and went back to bed, pulling the pillow closer to her chest and maybe it would bring a little comfort to her.It worries her to have realized that the woman her husband have been secretly meeting and flirting with is no one else but Traydor Vernes - his ex girlfriend.How shocking!! Maynard had told her that he already moved on and lost contact with Vernes. That was a big fat lie.She couldn't hold back her tears anymore! She was hurting deeply. How long will she take this? How long is she going to condone his unfaithful nature? How long is she going to keep turning a blind eye to it and blaming herself for everything? How long.... ~♠ NEXT DAY ~♠Walking out of the bathroom, Maynard stops on his track and fixes his gaze on the sleeping Olivia.His forehead creases with a scowl. He pulls a towel off his neck and throws it carelessly into the wardrobe and storms towards Olivia.Like any other gentle and loving husband would rain kisses on their wife, Maynard was far different from that.He draws the blanket off her body and taps her recklessly while she jerks up. He folds his arms over his chest and glare at her.Olivia rubs her eyes and sits up. "Is there a problem Maynard? Why did you wake me up in such manner?" Her voice remained as calm as ever. Seeing him brought back memories of last night and Instead of her getting all mad at him, she chooses to stay calm. Her marriage to Maynard is the most important treasure to her right now."Why are you still asleep by this time of the day?"Olivia turns to her phone and checks the time. She turns the phone to him..."It's just 7:15am Maynard" She responded."So what? You forgot I have work to go to uh? You forgot you have a husband to make breakfast for! Do you want me to head to work on an empty stomach?" Surprise etched on Olivia's face as Maynard was being literally rude to her. What's all the fuss about? Shouldn't she be the one getting all angry? why is he being so arrogant?"You know I don't wake up until it's 8am Maynard. Besides, we have maids who cook breakfast and am sure they're downstairs busy making breakfast, you won't leave for work on an empty stomach.." She said."Oh! Really.. So because we have maids, does that mean I won't get to eat the food my wife prepares? Why then do I have a wife? Are your duties only to satisfy your sexual urges and produce kids for me? Is that it?.."His words pierces through Olivia's heart like a sharp sword. She sucks in a deep breath and licks her lip."Fine! I promise to make breakfast for you tomorrow. As of now, I have a headache and I need to get some rest. Can you just have what the maids prepare, please...!!"Olivia pulls the blanket over her body, ready to catch some more sleep since she really didn't get enough sleep last night but Maynard again, pulls the duvet off her and throws it away.".. How on Earth did I not see how lazy you are before getting married to you?""Excuse me!!.." Olivia aches her brows."You heard me! If I knew you were this lazy, I would never have gotten married to you in the first place. You're nothing compared to my Ex girlfriend, Vernes.."Olivia's eyes narrows.. How can he still have the nerve to mention her name in front of her?"Listen, Vernes was nothing like you. She isn't as lazy as you are! I can't believe I've been putting up with you for so long..." He mumbles the last part but she clearly heard it.Olivia swallows hard, trying so hard not to get intimidated by his words. He's only trying to make her angry but she won't give in.".. I agree. I agree am nothing compared to your ex girlfriend, so was that the reason you couldn't hide your affair with her for the sake of our marriage that you had to be seen everywhere with her and even make calls with her right in my presence. Is that the reason?""You snooped on my phone?" Maynard's frown deepens and his glare hardened. He thought she was asleep while he made that call.Olivia let's out a dry laugh. "You thought I was asleep but I wasn't. I heard Everything Maynard and you lied to me. You told me you moved on from her already whereas you were busy secretly having an affair with Vernes""Yes! I won't deny it. I reconnected back with Vernes, so what? Am tired of you already Olivia. Am fed up of seeing your face everyday. What's so wrong with having just a little fun?"This is all too shocking for Olivia to bare. Maynard doesn't feel remorseful that he has been caught. Has he belittled her so much that he can easily admit to his sins?"Why Maynard? It could have been another girl.. not Vernes. Your ex for crying out loud!""It's Vernes I want now. Oh! And listen, this should be the last time you'd snoop on my phone. Who I hang out with and who I talk with on the phone should be none of your business. If this ever happens again, I swear Olivia, that would be the last day we would be known as a couple.."A light gasp leaves her lips as she watch him leave the room. Maynard was never like this when they first got married. He was so sweet and she thought her search was over since she got herself a prince charming but everything changed when Vernes showed up. Olivia was less bothered because Maynard said he moved on already but now that she realizes that the lady he's seeing is actually Vernes, breaks her heart to pieces.Maynard is going to actually divorce her because of Vernes! The look on his face says it all. ~♠~♠Olivia tears her gaze from the mirror when her cellphone rang. She quickly answers it."Where the hell did you keep your phone sister!?""Am sorry it was actually on silence and I didn't hear it ring.." There was a brief silence and Lucy speaks up again after hearing her sister sniff."Hey! What's wrong? Don't tell me you're crying.. Hey! Did you find him cheating again? Tell me where he is and I'll come over, you can't stop me this time..!"Lucy was ready to go defend her sister. She can't bare to see her sister hurting because of Maynard.Olivia explains her predicament to Lucy. She needs someone to talk to and Lucy is in the best position to comfort her."Are you seriously going to live with this for the rest of your life Olivia? It's only been a year together with him and he's already showing you who he really is, what more when you want to spend the rest of your life with him. Don't you think it's going to be hell on Earth?""But I love him Lucy. I love Maynard so much! I think I can keep on with this, it's no big deal...""It's a one sided love Olivia. He really doesn't love you. What's the point of marriage if you constantly wallow in pain?" Lucy said.Olivia bites her lower lip and wipes the lone tears on her face."Listen Olivia.. I have just one thing to say and if I were you, I'll do it with immediate effect..""What is it Lucy?"It took a while before Lucy responded.... "Divorce him"EPILOGUE. Months later, Olivia struggled to keep her eyes open, she could see the smiling faces but they were blurry.She tried again and she could finally see them clearly. Maynard, Bryan, Sage.. everyone was present."Olivia! you are awake!". they said in unison and she gave them a tired smile.Maynard came and sat beside her."How are you feeling?". he asked."Am very tired". Olivia replied." I guess we both won the bet". Maynard said happily."Really?". Olivia asked."Yes, it's a boy and a girl". Maynard replied and Olivia smiled faintly, turning her head to the baby cradle right beside her bed. Her babies were fast asleep and right beside them was Bryan piercing gaze."He's been that way ever since. He hasn't stopped staring at them."With permission, can I be the babies' godfather?". Sage asked faking a British accent."Of course, my good man ". Olivia replied with the accent as well although her voice was hoarse."Congratulations mummy". Bryan said happily, finally tearing hi
The doctor came out the room unaware of everything that just transpired and Maynard and Olivia bought rushed forward."How is he doctor?". Olivia asked worriedly."He is fine and he will wake up soon ". the doctor said with a smile."That's good". Maynard said as holding into Evelyn's hands tightly so that she won't escape.At that moment, the police came and Evelyn was arrested instantly after much struggling. while she was having her fights with Maynard, Olivia had secretly called in the police. What Evelyn did is unimaginable and she should be punished."Maynard, you can't do this to me. I told you the whole truth. Tell them to let me go please. Tell them we're about to get married". Evelyn pleaded but got no reply from neither Maynard nor Olivia and the the police took her away.Maynard came to sit next to Olivia."Are you feeling okay? or do you need to visit the doctor?". maynard asked worriedly."No, am fine". Olivia replied."But you look a bit pale..""I am fine maynard, do
Maynard drove crazily through the traffic and he soon arrived at the hospital."Emergency!!". he screamed as he got out of the car immediately.Some nurses hurried over with a stretcher and Maynard placed Bryan on it carefully.They took him into the hospital and the doctor began to attend to him immediately."What is his name and what happened to him?". the doctor asked."His name is Bryan. He fell down the stairs by accident". Maynard explained."Ok". the doctor replied as they wheeled him into a room.Olivia was too shocked to say anything anymore so she just sat down quietly waiting while maynard paced around worriedly.Evelyn was very annoyed that the wedding was cancelled again. She wasn't particularly happy that the wedding will be on hold because of the brat.Just when she was this close to success that little brat had to pull such a foolish stunt and slip off the stairs."Why is it taking so damn long?" . I hope he is okay" Olivia said worriedly"I am sure he will be fine, le
Throughout the night, Maynard did not sleep a wink . He kept thinking about the wedding and finally it's today. In few hours, he'd be tieing the knot with Evelyn.He turned away from the mirror after dressing up and in that instant, Olivia walked in. He quickly rushed to her and hugged her."Please don't make me emotional than I already am Maynard?!" She pushed him away slightly, trying to fight back her tears." Come with me Olivia. Let's just run far away, that way, I won't have to get married to Evelyn and you won't have to be sad either"." Oh my! Why didn't we think about that earlier!? Let's run away " Olivia said cheerfully and Maynard was super ready to do so. He turned and was about to move to the wardrobe but Olivia caught his arm right on time."We should run far away and then what? So Evelyn can create more scandal against us? Don't be a coward Maynard because you're not. I am not going to support you in whatever plans you have. Let's just get this wedding over and done wi
Bryan joined Olivia in the room almost immediately. He had stood by the corner, observing everything. He sees how much she didn't like it and he didn't like it as well."Why are you here Bryan? Shouldn't you be downstairs with your mom and Dad?" She asked, surprised to see him in her room." Why are you here ma'am? shouldn't you be downstairs with Dad? He asked and Olivia chuckled before saying."Well, I don't belong there it's only best of I stay here. I don't want to be a bother to anyone"Bryan smiled.. " Me too Ma'am. I don't belong there and I don't want to be a bother"Olivia chuckled and ruffled his hair playfully."But you don't look happy ma'am. You really do not like what's going on right? You wish you can stop it don't you?"Olivia only stared at him without saying a word. I mean, what would a six years old boy possibly understand. He could be smart and all that but this is adult business. "Can I say something ma'am?" Bryan said, breaking into her thoughts." Of course, go
The next two days had been from one drama to another and it's Obvious Evelyn us the drama queen. She might be occupying Maynard's room, but he has refused to share a bed with her at all cost. He'd rather spend his night with Olivia than anyone else. That's how things are meant to be done.She did not stop causing more troubles and these past few days, she did not stop parading herself as the newest bride to be. More like she just won herself a medal or something.Olivia was tired of everything and she resorted into keeping as much distance as she could away from Evelyn. No matter how much annoyance she tried to cause, Olivia simply ignored her.As for Maynard, he did not like the fact that he was going shopping with Evelyn. People did not stop staring at them both as they stepping into the Mall.Evelyn has her head held high but he felt like disappearing into thin air. It was an embarrassing moment for him. The last time he stepped into the Mall was with Olivia, now he's with a sly sn
"Oh baby, you are back to your old angry self again.Anyways I am not here for you, I am here for your ex wife.Where is she? get out of the way let me see her". Evelyn said arrogantly."Olivia is not my ex wife but my wife because we are not even divorced yet so watch the words that comes out of that slutty mouth of yours..""The same slutty mouth you couldn't get enough of six years ago? Should I remind you how you kept kissing and nibbling on my..". Evelyn scoffed interrupting Maynard.Maynard clenched his fist in anger."Olivia is not going to see you do get the fuck out of my face". he said cutting her off and made to slam the door on Evelyn's face but she held it back and pushed it open."Tsk tsk, you are being a very bad boy.You didn't even ask me why I am at the front of your door with my luggages ". Evelyn said with a mischievous smile."I don't want to know because I don't care about anything that relates to you". Maynard said nonchalantly."You have to baby, you have to be
LATER THAT EVENINGSage took the longest bath he has ever had in his life. He shaved up and began to style his hair carefully. When he finally done, he wore the suit Olivia suggested, he looked absolutely stunning.He caught himself smiling at his reflection in the mirror and chided himself.His thoughts drifted off to Sofia.how would she react when she saw him this way? but he quickly pushed the thought out of his mind.He picked up his phone and called the restaurant manager."I hope everything has been settled according to plan? I don't want any interruptions unless it's absolutely necessary. Get your waiters to stand by. I want this to go well". Sage said coldly."Rest assured Mr Sage. everything has been taken care as you like it .the entire vip section will be out of bounds for other people except for you and your date and the special chef you hired has already arrived". the manager replied."That's good.I will be there in a few minutes". Sage said and hanged up. Why in Earth
They arrived at their bedroom and Olivia went to use the bathroom while Maynard began to receive series of phone calls from clients telling him to resolve his issues as soon as possible if not they are going to terminate their contract. They were all being Stern and no one was ready to buy his excuses. After finishing the calls, he decided to go through social media and the comments about Olivia was getting worse.*That bitch Olivia deserves whatever she's getting.**I hate women who act like this the most.she looks all innocent but she is a green tea bitch.*The comments were endless and majority of them were throwing hateful comments at olivia.only few of them supported her but that was barely one percent of the whole population. He threw his phone on the couch in anger."Damn it!". maynard cursed loudly.Olivia hurried out of the bathroom when he she heard Maynard cursing."What is happening?I heard you screaming from the...."Maynard interrupted her talk as he threw a fierce
