Olivia realized she wasn't daydreaming when she woke up the next day. The strong arm she felt around her body made her blushed sheepishly. The heat last night didn't just end at the kiss.She slowly pulled away from Aiden and covered her naked body with his shirt, which was on the floor.Olivia felt her cheek turning red while she walked into the bathroom. She stared at the mirror and placed a hand over her mouth just to stop herself from screaming in happiness.Aiden had made love to her, unlike the first time they had sex. This was a lot different, she could still reminisce on his stares at her body and the desire in his eyes.Wherever he went yesterday, did a little good for him. Even after the sex last night, he didn't act like nothing happened. He had kissed her forehead before falling asleep.Olivia touched her forehead, a wide grin on her face. Suddenly, her mood began to change and her heart skipped.What if he suddenly goes cold when he wakes up? He was unpredictable with his
Rays of sunlight heavily permeated the window blind, casting a fiery glow that scorched Kayla’s skin where she was lazily spread out on the bed with her messy hair scattered all over the place. Groaning, she yanked the duvet off the bed and wrapped it around her head to deter the incandescent sun from blinding her eyes. The coziness of the room enveloped her, but after struggling for a while, she managed to open her eyes and very quickly, they darted around the room she had slept in. "Not again!” She groaned, she had a dream that Aiden had asked her to leave and had given her some money to take care of herself. But it was just a dream! She stood up from the bed and walked into the bathroom to wash her face. Then she took hold of her brush and applied the toothpaste on it. After some minutes, she walked out of the bathroom, but heard a knock on her door. She rushed to it and opened the door. Then, she met Max standing by the door with a straight face. “What is it?” She inquired
Aiden had put a call across Griffin last night, and he was supposed to be at his place that morning by 10am. Aiden stood in front of his mirror while admiring himself and staring keenly at his reflection. He heard a knock on his door and asked the person to come in. Max walked swiftly and dropped two of Aiden's lighter on the table, “Good morning, boss.” He whispered and crossed his hand behind his back. “I also have news of Ethan's arrival. He came back last night, and one of the men saw him at the Creek casino.” Max informed Aiden and he paused for a second. “Ethan?” He called and Max nodded. “Why is he back? I thought he traveled intending to not return ever again.” Aiden whispered, and his veins throbbed in his neck. Ethan was the son of his father's best friend. The same man his father had built the mafia family together with before he died, but right from the beginning, Ethan never liked the business line, and so he left the country. Why was he back, huh? Aiden brushed off
Griffin had spent the whole night turning and tossing on the bed. He couldn't wait for morning, so he could proceed with the plan. He stared into Jane's face as she slept peacefully and whispered, “I hope you forgive me, and I have to do this for all of us. I would rather not die.” He mumbled under his breath. It was almost dawn and his eyes were still open. He tried to think of how he could make Kayla's death sound real. What could make it look real, huh? He thought deeply and got out of bed while covering Jane's body with the duvet. He paced back and forth and an idea hit him. Griffin waited patiently for Jane to wake up while he stepped out of the house to take a walk. He could hear water gushing out from the kitchen, and he knew Jane was there. He puffed air through his mouth and walked towards the kitchen and stood by the door. Jane averted her eyes to him and smiled lightly. “You came back home late last night, sorry, I couldn't wait for you to hear how it went.” Jane whispe
The week went by as a blur and the supposed day of burial had arrived, the Griffins had actually waited for Olivia and since she was back, they were going to proceed with the plan.Jane had not been able to control her water tank, as she stood by the grave after the burial. Poor child! I failed to protect you. I'm sorry you have to die at a young age-she whispered bitterly.Olivia wrapped her hands around her mother and consoled her while she tried to fight back her tears.Olivia felt a twisted pain in her chest, but there was something that wasn't clear to her. Kayla was married and no one told her? How? When did the marriage happen, and why didn't anyone tell her?She wanted to make a fuss about it, but she would rather not disrespect Kayla. That wasn't the important thing at that moment.And with the way her mom was crying, she couldn't bring herself to ask her about Kayla's sudden and eerie marriage.Suddenly, she sighted a man stepping out from a Range Rover with another fleet of
Olivia had made her decision, she had agreed to marry Aiden, especially when she felt Griffin was obviously pleased about it. For a moment, she felt maybe her father was trying to grant Kayla's wish because she was always his favorite daughter and of course, Aiden was loaded.She had issues sleeping at night, while she tried to think of how her life would be after getting married.She also hopes to continue her work as a nurse in any of the hospitals nearby. Aiden was going to agree to that, right? She won't want to be categorized as a housewife that only feeds on her husband's money.The word “husband” felt strange to her, but she shrugged it off and sat upright on her bed while staring at the door like she was waiting for someone else to come in.Her hands placed on her lap while her long silken hair fell freely behind. She bit her bottom and just then, a knock was placed on the door.Averting her eyes to the door, she ushered the person in, and her mom walked in after peeping.The
The date has been fixed and Olivia couldn't get the marriage thought off her mind, no matter how hard her mother kept telling her all would be fine.The wedding would be next week, and she felt her heart racing. Oh heavens, she was definitely going to become someone's wife.How about her job? She didn't get to talk about that with Aiden. She ruffled her smooth black hair and laid straight on the bed with her back hitting the soft duvet.Olivia was lost in her thoughts and had no idea when she drifted to sleep. The next thing she heard was the knock on her door.A little groan escaped her lips as she stretched her hands and tried to wake up from her deep slumber. “A minute please.” She voiced out and got out of bed while dragging her legs to the door.She opened it and met her mom standing by the door with a tray in her hand. “Are you alright? Are you sick?” Jane inquired while scanning her from head to toe.“No. Why do you ask?” Olivia questioned with an arched brow.“Because you have
An awkward silence filled the place while the woman fixed her intense gaze on Olivia, who looked lost in thoughts.“Go ahead ma'am. Are you confused on which one to pick?” The woman questioned Olivia, jerking her back to reality, and she turned to face her.“Huh?” Olivia whispered and lowered her gaze. “Sorry, I have no idea where to start from. They look stunning and expensive.” Olivia spoke and the woman chuckled.“Come on, let me help you out then.” The woman uttered with a light smile and tilted her head to the opposite direction while Olivia followed her behind.Olivia decided to shrug off all the thoughts trying to drift into her head. But the woman's words kept ringing inside her head. Is she really the first lady Aiden brought there?Maybe the woman wasn't around the day he brought Kayla, or Kayla had shopped for the dress herself-Olivia mumbled within her and took a deep breath.Suddenly, her eyes caught sight of an attractive strapless sheer dress, and she moved closer and h
