Hello, I know I am not the most social or consistent writer out there, but I will try to update daily from now on. It would be nice if you could leave comments on how the story feels for you, and if I need to up my pace (which I believe I do) and if there is some development that you would like to see. Let me know. Much love, Moonie <3.
________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~."What would you have done if I had told you that I did not want to talk?" I asked as soon as I spotted William leaning against his car in the parking lot. He shrugged, seeming very comfortable in his position. "I would have gone back home." "You are crazy." I shook my head and walked over to imitate his posture against the car hood. "So is your friend." "So are you and your friend." He roleld his eyes. I gave him a look which he refused to even acknowledge. Classic Harvey. "I know you are worried about him." I said, staring into whatever unknown he was staring at. "But I promise you, whatever be between us, I would not stoop to that level. I would not hunt down that despicable human being and I would not get him involved in this already complicated mess. Besides, he gives me the creeps." "That man is pure evil." I was surprised when William did not try to accuse me of lying or cheating or whatever Jackson had done. Then again, I expected
_____...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~.“So he knows everything now?” Sarah paced the room as she stuffed popcorn into her mouth.I sat on her couch, sipping on just water because I felt so sick and nauseous from all the stress that I felt like I would throw up if I put anything else in my mouth.“Yes.” I sighed. God, I was stupid.“And he also knows that you know everything?” She asked, stuffing more of the popped kernels into her mouth and sounded like an idiot.“Yes.” I repeated.She abruptly stopped and turned to me. “How the hell can you be so nonchalant about this? That piece of shit is probably sitting around with that vulture Harvey and planning your annihilation!”I shook my head at the image and I knew that she was most probably right about that. That could just be what they were doing.But I was not nonchalant. I was just so shocked by the turn of events that I was drained and did not have the energy to even appear stressed.“Can we not worry about it tonight?” I asked her. “
_______ . . . ~ ~ ~ J A C K S O N ~ ~ ~ . “Or should I say Lily left for me when she died?” I froze when I heard those words. It was true that somewhere I had suspected that she knew what I was upto. But I had not expected her to know the whole thing. “What?” Olivia glared at me. “Cat got your tongue, Jackson Reign?” I glared right back at her before turning to face the road. What the hell was I supposed to do? Fine. I was a prick. But let’s be real. My mother was not thinking straight. She left everything to Olivia out of pure spite. She did that only because I told her that I would not bring Kelsey or Olivia to her. Lilith Corp. belonged to me. After I came of age, it was I who took it to the next level. I spent the better days of my life for this company and I was not going to let anyone take it away. Not Olivia, not anyone. “Say something.” Olivia gritted out. “Why don’t you lie some more? Why don’t you say that I am being delusional and y
____________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~ .I just stared at him like he had grown two heads. What the hell was he talking about? “Your Dad?” I asked him, dumbfounded. “Don't call him that.” He sneered. “He is not my Dad. And don't act like you don't know what's going on. I saw how you were both talking.” Was this man for real? “I have never met your D-father before. I didn't even know it was him until you told me. Besides, why would I even talk to him if I knew who he was?” I asked. I never understood Jackson Reign's logic. His father leaves his mother. He blames it on my mother and then take revenge on me. Now his father is back and he thinks I had something to do with it? When I was the one who was supposed to feel violated because of the way that man talked. A shudder ran down my spine as I remembered how uncomfortable I felt by the man. “Oh please, Olivia, don't play the saint. We all know what you are up to.” I glared at him. “What the hell are you talking about?”
_______...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~ .You know how sometimes life just plateaus out of nowhere. That's what is going on with me these days. Sure, the beach house is almost renovated and we have slowly started to plan the wedding. But emotionally I felt numb. It felt like I was in an aimless rat race. It has been two weeks since we were at the bar. When Jackson and I looked at each other and admitted that we were tired. At that moment, I felt like Jackson Reign was saying the truth - that he was indeed tired of what was happening. Tired of his own plotting and planning. “Ms. Smith?” I shook myself out of my train of thoughts and looked over at the clerk at my door. He was holding a bouquet of pink roses. Absolutely gorgeous roses. “Are those for me?” I asked. I didn't remember any occasion in particular. “Yes. They were dropped off at the reception.” I nodded, gesturing for him to keep it on my desk. “Does it have a note?” I asked as I got up, walking over to inspect
________...~ ~ ~ J A C K S O N ~ ~ ~. “Should I be hurt?” William played with his drink without looking up at me. “I asked you a question.” I said when he made no acknowledgement of my words. “Oh.” He turned to me. “That was for me? I thought you were asking a rhetorical question.” He chuckled.I gave him a look. “No, I am not being rhetorical. Now answer the damned question. Should I be hurt?” William shrugged, taking a sip of his Scotch. “I don't know. I mean, if you were actually trying to make this work and you were actually a changed man trying to make amends then it would have made sense if you felt a little hurt. But since you are neither, I think her worries are justified.” I chuckled wryly. “I am asking whether I should be hurt by the fact that William Harvey has switched sides.” He didn't say anything. He just twirled his drink in his glass and just stared at the movement. I shook my head and took a sip of my drink. It had become obvious to me that Olivia knew
