Olivia's POV

And again, I woke up to sounds of beeping but this was more than a machine. I felt different tubes connected to my body and there was an oxygen mask on my face. "She's awake. Call the doctor." I heard a voice say and a few people in white rushed in.

"Miss, are you feeling any pain?" The man asked me as he checked up on me. I slowly shook my head and he took the mask off my face. My breathing was slow and it took me a while to finally get used to breathing.

It felt like I hadn't done it in years. "What happened?" I asked.

"You were hit by a car and you have been out for over two days." He explained to me and I looked at him, stunned. "A young man brought you here. He isn't here at the moment but he paid for all your medical bills."

I looked around the room and just by the look, I could tell it was a VIP ward and would have been very expensive.

"Since you are not feeling any pain and just went into a shock, you should be okay in two days and be ready to be discharged." He said, some nurses taking down notes.

"May I ask where I am please?" I asked softly and he smiled.

"Vile hospital, miss." He said and my jaw almost dropped. This was one of the most expensive hospitals in the whole country. I didn't have any money to pay back the person who brought me here and I didn't want to be in debt.

I just smiled at the doctor and he left with the rest. Slowly, the memories of that morning came back. I remembered the person behind the wheel was on his phone when he hit me.

I leaned back as I tried to think of where I would go after I left this place. Maybe a homeless shelter till I earn enough money to find a house to live in. I sat there for hours, thinking till I heard a knock on the door and I looked up to see the most handsome man I have ever seen.

I thought Liam was handsome but this man here looked like a freaking Roman god. His long, dark hair was neatly styled in half ponytail and his ice blue eyes looked like ocean waters.

"I hope I'm not disturbing for coming this hour that you should be resting." His calm voice came to my ears and it was even more compelling than his looks. I nodded gently as he placed the basket of flowers he had brought on the table, before sitting next to my bed.

"I brought you here and I am sort of the man who you walked into his car." He said, leaning back in the chair.

"Thank you very much. I'm so sorry if I caused you any stress damage or trouble. I wasn't looking where I was heading and I was so worried and…" I paused and looked at him. "I'm sorry."

"It's fine Olivia. I am to blame for hitting you so, we're even." He said with a sweet smile that made my insides melt but when I remembered Liam, I got a grip of myself.

"If I may ask, why did you bring me here? It's very expensive and I won't be able to pay you back because I have no money or nowhere to go. Not even someone to borrow the money from to pay you back." I said, looking down at my fingers.

"Consider it taking care of what I caused. No need to pay me back." He said. "And did you say you have nothing? If you don't mind me asking."

"I don't mind," I said with a small smile I didn't know if I should tell him what happened or not. I don't even think I can trust anyone after what Stella did to me.

"If you don't want to talk about it, no problem…"

"No, I do. I'm sorry for cutting you short. It's just, after being married to the man I thought loved me for five years and being made his punching bag every single day, I find it hard to trust anyone. He caused my recent miscarriage and just two days ago when you saw me, I just left his house after meeting him in bed with who I thought was my best friend since I was young. He divorced me right there and now I have nowhere to go, no one to turn to." I explained to him with tears rolling down my cheeks.

"I'm so sorry to hear that." He said, holding my hand. "No need to worry, I will find something for you, okay?"

I nodded gently and he smiled back. We spent the evening talking about random things and he visited daily with gifts and snacks till I got discharged.

He was nice, calm, loving, and had everything any woman would ever dream of in her man. He drove me to the middle of the city and I wondered where we were going before he stopped in front of an apartment building and took me in.

"Here, these are your keys. I bought you an apartment." He said and I turned to him in surprise. I didn't know what I did to deserve his kindness and I just burst into tears.

"You didn't have to do this. If it was just a little job to pay rent, it wouldn't have cost you much." I said and he just smiled.

"It's fine. I don't mind at all." He said, brushing the strands of hair from my face before leading me into the well-furnished apartment. I was surprised by the beauty, fitting just my taste. "Everything you need will be supplied to you monthly so just earn some money and save up for yourself. I got you a job too."

I didn't know how to react and I just threw my arms around him and kissed him. Everywhere was still for a second as we started at each other in shock.

"Open this door, Olivia." A loud voice shouted from the door.

    Robert HuxleyMy heartbeat raced with fear.Did I just hear right?Romeo, the man who made available every resource I used for Project X had just been arrested?That was trouble!Big trouble!!Joe wasn't so audible on the phone. I figured he was on the run or something.I turned to Andrew."Go and meet your brother. I need some time alone."If the police had caught up with Romeo, that could have meant trouble for Joe and me too.Romeo was into a lot of illegal tech biz. I have full reason to believe some of the devices at his workhouse were stolen.They were heavy machines that could only be owned by high-profile tech organizations.I wonder how one person could own and control that in such a small warehouse.I became paranoid all of a sudden.I needed to leave as soon as possible. At least away from here for now."What if he tells the authorities about everything? Then I would be in much bigger trouble. He knows everything. The plan, the process, and the execution….every single thing

    Robert Huxley“Come here son,” I said to my second son, Andrew.I knew about what he and his brother had been doing whilst I was supposedly asleep or not looking.But there was something else I noticed.Whilst my eldest son was after the stack of cash in my cupboard, Andrew was more interested in my secret business, project X; my very main source of income.“Is there anything you want to talk to me about?” I asked him.“No.. no….no, Dad,” he stammered.“Are you sure about that?” I asked further.This time around, he kept quiet.He paused for a while and answered in haste afterward “No, Dad.”I put my arms around his neck and walked him to the garden just at the corner of the house.“You and your elder brother have been messing around my office lately,” I started.I saw the surprised look on his face when I said that. He tried to deny it but I acted like I believed him.I know your elder brother has been stealing from me but I don't have any issue with that. “It's my money and I am wo

    Chapter 43Robert HuxleyI saw that look on Joe's as we approached the farmer's shop or whatever it is he called that place.That look you give a servant when his master is about to show him the secret of his possessions."Is everything alright, Joe?" I asked.He nodded in response. "Please don't fuck this up for me. I have a reputation to protect, Robert," he replied."Don't worry about nothing, Joe. I can do this. I won't let you down," I answered in haste.As we got in, there were a lot of men operating several computers and electronic devices as well as ladies who were dressed half-naked, caressing the men as they worked."What's this place?" I whispered to Joe."The farmhouse."It was nothing like a farmhouse. I was this close to turning back until something caught my attention; a pile of dollars.It must be like a million bucks. How does someone have such an amount of money and leave it lying around carelessly?"You look at that? It's nothing," one of the men interrupted.He we

Working from morning till night only to be paid a chicken fee.I need to find a solution.A workable one."So what do you intend to do?" Joe said.Joe was my friend.A colleague who studied the same course as me; Accountancy.We were potential big boys. That was what he had always called us from school.He was richer. But I was never envious of his wealth and how comfortable he lived.Countless times I paid him visits. We ate and drank together and even made merry.That question rang aloud in my head."What do I intend to do?"I had no answer to that question.Not even at this moment. I was pretty confused. Clueless of what to do next."Joe, you have to help me out. I need your help," I started."What's that, friend?" He asked with an expression that showed utmost concern."I want to make money

    CHAPTER 41ANDREWMy ears tingled at the sound of that familiar voice."Who would dare storm into the office like that?" I thought.Looking back, it was Uncle Joe. My father's closest friend whom he calls his brother."I said stop the merry!" He shouted."How dare you throw a party for a son without his father present?" He jested as he threw his arms around me."Uncle Joe!" I said."I never knew you were back.""Well, surprise! Or aren't you happy to see me?" I said"Of course I am, Uncle Joe. When did you arrive in New York City?""A few days ago, son. Here, I got you a present," he said, bringing out a brown envelope from his right pocket.What is this?What is he doing?I smiled. "Uncle Joe," I called out as I tried to unseal the envelope.I was quite anxious. The last person I got a gift from was my dad and that was the most expensive car in the city.I wonder what Uncle Joe had planned.I saw another brown paper inside the envelope and I brought it out to read the contents."Unc

    OLIVIA"Is Stella joking or what?"Did she just say Elliot Huxley?The same Elliot Huxley, Andrew's brother.It can't be.How is this even possible? I looked at her in awe.What nonsense am I hearing? "Stella, pregnant for Elliot?"I froze."Are you alright?""How can you say such?" I asked."Say what?" "What happens to Liam?" She laughed. It was the coldest thing I had seen her do.I fear her. I wonder how Liam would feel when he hears all of this."Well, I have no shame. And just so you know, my real love lies with Elliot. I had known him even before now," she explained.How is this even possible?How did she and Elliot get to meet? How did the love and sex begin between them?Was that before she took Liam from me or after? All of these questions ran through my mind as she stood in front of me.She didn't even look bothered."I just chose to tell you cause very soon you will be seeing more of me around Elliot," she said and laughed out loud.Wow! Looks like the player got played.
