Olivia had a million thoughts buzzing inside her head, and she didn't even notice the time Aiden moved past her. “Congratulations,” a lady whispered to her while jerking her back to reality, and Olivia turned to look in her direction.“Thank you.” Olivia muttered faintly, her voice barely above a whisper as she roamed her eyes in the crowd and rested them on her mom who was obviously marching towards her.“Ma!” She called with a light smile and the moment Jane got closer, she pulled Olivia into a tight hug.“I'm so proud of you, the day has finally come, and it will soon be over. You're a Mrs now,” Jane reminded her, but that word alone sent shivers down Olivia's spine and the thought she was trying to avoid flowed into her head again.“Thank you, Mom, I pray I won't disappoint.” She added sincerely and wiped her sweaty hands on her dress.“Where is your husband?” Jane questioned and glanced around, and then she sighted Aiden talking to someone who was wearing a gray suit, he was ave
Her heart kept racing, and she feared he was going to hear her heart pounding heavily against her chest. “Olivia!” Aiden called for the second time, his voice calm, but void, with no emotion attached to it. “Yes,” Olivia managed to reply in a cracked voice. “You should sleep now, today was indeed a long day. But you can go to the guest room if you're not comfortable, that's the only kindness I can give.” He uttered and adjusted himself on the bed, and Olivia felt he was kidding with his last words, unknown to her that he really meant it. She felt butterflies in her stomach that he cared, even though it wasn't a big deal. Olivia took a deep breath and closed her eyes while trying so hard to get some sleep. And after an hour, nature gladly took over her. * * The ray of sunshine coming through the window woke her up. Her scattered hair was all over the pillow, while she turned and faced the direction Aiden had slept. Olivia snapped her eyes open, she had totally forgotten that sh
The night didn't go as planned for Olivia because her head was filled with so many unanswered questions. Olivia felt she needed to ask Leah questions to satisfy her curiosity. She had turned at night and noticed she was the only person in the room and was obviously lying alone in the bed. Olivia hasn't seen Aiden since morning, she has stayed awake and drifted to sleep when it was 11pm. What kind of work was keeping him outside? And another disturbing thought was trying to find its way into her head. She sat upright on the bed and wiped her face with her palm. She adjusted a few hairs, trying to obstruct her view while tucking them neatly behind her ears. Furthermore, she sighed and took a deep breath before lying down back on the bed, but was unable to fall asleep. The moment Olivia noticed it was morning, she jumped out of bed and moved straight to the kitchen. But she halted along the way when she heard a sound coming from a room. She was curious and wanted to see for herself.
Olivia tapped her foot gently on the floor while Leah walked into the kitchen shortly. “You look fazed!” Leah muttered and Olivia sighed. “Excuse me!” She whispered and went out of the kitchen. Olivia wanted to ignore Aiden, but it wasn't working, so she quietly headed for the dining room. It was the next place close to the sitting room, and immediately he sighted her, he had a frown on his face, but Olivia cared less. “We need to talk. I really want to know where I stand.” She uttered, but he played dumb and continued munching on his food. Olivia felt a certain pain wash through her, but she has decided not to let Aiden's cold and silent treatment break her down. She hasn't done anything to deserve all this cruelty. Without his permission, she pulled a chair and sat on it while he narrowed his dark hazel eyes into her direction, and it seemed like he wanted to say something but kept quiet. “Come on, talk to me.” Olivia pleaded. “Do you even see me as your wife? Why did you reall
Olivia kept staring at the window and neither one of them said a word to each other as Noah drove in silence, his eyes fixed keenly on the road.She exhaled and leaned her back. Olivia closed her eyes and tried not to think too much, and the only moment she opened her eyes again was when she heard Noah talking to her. “We are here, Madam.” Olivia hopped out of the car as Noah opened the door for her. “Thank you,” she whispered faintly, still trying to adjust to the fact that she was his boss' wife.Olivia's thoughts drifted to the moment she stepped out of the house to head for the garage, she had seen a couple of faces she never knew, and the men were all standing around the house.What was happening? Was something bad about to happen, or Aiden had decided to hire them as guards? She asked herself.She wanted to ask Noah, but resisted the urge. “I will be back to take you home, Madam.” Noah said and tried to leave, but she stopped him.“I asked Aiden if I could spend the night here,
Aiden pulled out of the lady's wet core, and she groaned slightly, obviously disappointed that her pleasure was over. “Grab your clothes and leave.” He ordered and wore his trousers.“What? Why? Don't tell me you're in a bad mood after what we just did.” Carla spoke, and he turned to look at her with a hard glare, she stifled the next words that almost spilled out of her mouth.“You should know your place. So leave!” He spoke in a deep, harsh tone, and she gasped and stepped down from the bed.Carla was Aiden's sex mate, he only summoned her whenever he was horny or in a bad mood. But Carla wanted more, which she obviously knew wasn't going to be possible. So far, no one was able to melt his heart of stone.Aiden heard the scuttled footsteps of someone leaving immediately the door was closed, and he felt it was Olivia. “I thought you would have a soft spot for me by now, I did everything you wanted me to do. Am I not good enough for you?” Carla questioned while she stood with a pitif
The week went by as a blur, and Olivia had decided to stay back. She had vowed to be with him for better or for worse, but the deepest truth was because she was in love with him.Aiden was the kind of man every lady would want, but aside his cold treatment. She wanted to give him the space he needs and see if he would realize what he has before it will be too late.Olivia got out of bed and moved to her window while staring outside. The sun was out already and the ray of sunshine was reflecting in the room.Just then, a slight knock was placed on her door and she ushered the person in. There and then, someone opened the door and walked in, and it took her a few seconds to turn around to see who it was.“Max!” She called, a bit surprised. “Is everything okay?” Olivia inquired with a puzzled look and took a few steps closer.“Yes Madam, the boss summons you. I think you will have to change what you are wearing.” He informed her.“Are we going somewhere?” Olivia questioned quickly, but h
Fear gripped her while she huddled her knees close to her chest. She could feel the beads of sweat already forming on her forehead. Olivia had been in that position throughout the day. The sound of gunshots kept echoing in her head, and she closed her eyes for a bit to calm her racing heart. What if she had died from those gunshots, huh? Was that the main reason Kayla died? She asked herself unanswered questions. She gently took a deep breath again and again. Likewise, she could feel her fear subsiding. Then she pulled out her phone from her pocket and placed a call across her mom. No one told her Aiden was a made man, a boss of his mafia family. Why? She couldn't get a specific answer for that. Are they afraid she won't want to get married to him? Of course, Olivia was never the type to desire a marriage without peace, a marriage where you can't decide if going out of your home is safe or not. The first call went in vain, and she called again. The moment her mom picked the call,
