LOGINWhen my cousin died, my aunt forced me to marry her husband in order to take care of the child she left behind. She said that it was a way to pay her back for raising me after the death of my mom. For eight years of being in the marriage, I was bullied by my cousin's son, accusing me killing his mom in order to take over her home. And my husband? He never defended me. To them, I was nothing more than a mere house help. And the day I had looked forward finally came, when I could walk away from the marriage. But fate had other plans—I died in pain that very day. Now, with a second chance at life, I made one thing clear: I was done with that miserable family, for good.

Having her here meant everything in the world to me. “So, I was going to come attach your veil so we left for the church service when a little love sick puppy begged me to hand this over to his bride. Here,” she said, handing me a small decorated gift bag.“This is from Oliver,” I said with a smile and hurriedly opened it.It was a small box, the size of my palm with a paper folded into the strings that formed a bow on it.“Wanna read together?” I asked.Alicia beamed as she nodded her head excitedly while I opened the paper.“To the woman I’ll love forever,” I rea
209.Oliver I tried my best to keep the tears in as I paced back and forth outside the theatre Jess was in and when a doctor walked outside, I rushed to him.“How’s she doing?” I asked.“We can’t say for now. Please excuse me,” he said and walked away.I stood waiting for hours, watching as doctors and nurses walked in and out of the theater room.“God please keep her safe for me. Please,” I whispered tiredly as I sat on the floor close to the door.The door opened again but this time I wasn’t interested to know if a nurse or a doctor had walked in or out.“Mr Oliver?” I looked up to see a male doctor with sympathy on his face.“That’s me,” I said, springing up to my feet.“Perhaps, my office?” He proposed.My heart began to thump louder as I looked at the theater room then at him. “What happened there?” I croaked out.I wasn’t sure if I could stomach the reality of losing Jess. Knowing that she had been there to save my life only to get hers sniffed away.“I assure you Miss Jessica

Shut the door on your way out,” I instructed.I was in one of my abandoned warehouses which was a hideout spot for me. I discovered this place years ago when I got out of Juvenile Jail and began to deal drugs for money.Contrary to what Oliver thought, I’ve lived a very dangerous life but now, it was time to live a soft life. Only I had one obstacle in my way and that was Oliver.Many would say I was ungrateful but I didn’t see it as that.The way I saw it, Oliver was the evil one here whom after so many years of enjoying wealth still wanted me to be beneath him. He wanted to lead and boss me around like his puppet while also keeping Jess all to himself.I sighed heavily as I took out the photo of Jess and I that I always had on me.We had been
207Oliver The next few days were hell as I walked into the office gloomy than I had ever been before. I still couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that Rowan and Jessica were once an item. Though it was years ago, Jessica seemed to be convinced Rowan still had feelings for her.It was pointless trying to work so I decided to do what I did best which was stalk Rowan and the best thing about being the CEO is that you had access to everything in the company, including the security cameras.I spent my time watching the CCTV, just monitoring Rowan’s movement in his office and around the company.Unfortunately for me, I was disappointed in my judgment about Rowan.Contrary to what I had believed, Rowan was making the staff do his work for him in his office and camouflaged it as them teaching him. “Mr Oliver, the board is ready to receive you,” my secretary Mary said as she poked her head out of the door.I nodded my head. “Let’s go then. I’ll need you to be present all through to take

178. Jessica If I was being honest, meeting Viktor here ruined my whole mood. Minutes ago I was excited but now all that filled my heart was anger. I was angry at myself for letting my aunt manipulate me into marrying him in the first place, angry that because of him, people would have something
