Oliver

What is the sound of heartbreaking? I've always wondered, but I can state that the sound of heartbreaking is hearing someone you love getting married to another. This weekend? Wasn't that so soon? Too early? I thought we had time.

Not we, I thought I had time. Time to get used to the fact that Benjamin would be exclusively someone else's, but no time would ever make me get used to it. I couldn't stand and watch him slip from my fingers, and get wedded to another person.

“Is it true?” I hated how my voice squeaked, the way my lips trembled like I just had my heart served to me to eat. Benjamin's eyes flickered toward me but they weren't the calm orbs I was used to seeing, the ones I loved. These held anger, the fury of something.

I fought back my tears, my eyes prickling with heat. My chest began to swell with something I couldn't name, grieve? Pain? It was hard to place the emotion that took precedence.

All I wanted him to do was tell me he was lying, to tell me that I still ha

  • The Billionaire's dirty secret   63: Late night texts

    OliverWas I disappointed in myself? I don’t know, but it was hard to place how I viewed my esteem at the moment. All it took was for him to slip his hands between the hem of my pants and gently palm me through my underwear for him to draw an acquiescence out of my mouth. I said yes to him.The way his face had lit up in so much joy because I had agreed, but my heart had begun its beat of doom. I had agreed to the hurt that would follow, the front row view to the pain that would leave me shattered beyond repair.I tossed on my bed, flinging the sheets over my body. How was I going to sleep when the wedding was just two days away? He began rambling about how we would spend the entire night in the hotel room on some strange island together, a little bachelor’s party he said.It made me feel even queasy. It felt like he was trying so hard to compensate me with his little gestures. First, it was the pathway of petals, now it was whatever I could classify the hotel as?I didn’t want to kno

    Oliver I stared at the inscription on the floor, the petals quivering gently as if to remind me of the fact that I had not provided an answer. To whom? I didn’t want to take my eyes off them because I didn’t want to have to face the reality of responding to Benjamin if indeed he was nearby. I didn’t even know how to feel about his question. I didn’t know if I should feel glad that he had picked me or insulted that he wanted to drag me to the front row of this madness. This was an invitation to attend his wedding; to watch as he was taken from me. What if I randomly burst into a fit of tears because he was asked to kiss Veronica? What if I couldn’t stomach the entire process? How does he expect me to sit and watch as my heart is being ripped to shreds? I sighed and rubbed my arm, feeling a slight chill. On the other hand, Veronica was right. If he was asking me this, then it meant that he barely had any friends. It hasn’t been up to two months since I met him… Since you fell in lo

  • The Billionaire's dirty secret   61: Bestman

    Oliver.I closed the door carefully, perplexed by what I had just seen. Her phone was angled toward this direction but it doesn't mean that she was recording right? She could have easily been surfing the net for something or watching reels of cats since she looked like a lonely person.My heart slammed against my chest and once again, I wasn't afraid for myself. This was what happened when Mark found out, the fear of him knowing and the threats. If Mark whom I had worked with for a long time could hold that over my head, how about Felicia who never liked me since I started working here?But she liked the boss, right? She had a crush on him and she knew that if she released anything, it would be devastating to his career and ruin everything even her chances. Should I go and talk to her? Ask her what she had seen. Should I tell Benjamin so he would fire her?The thoughts ran across my mind like a broken spindle, so many possibilities and so many things could happen. I hated the fact tha

    Oliver.“Why are you still here?” Benjamin seethed as the question spilled through his mouth. I hated this part of him, I hated the fact that he tried to always play possessive with the men that were around me. He had first done this with Sebastian, now, William and I wasn't even fucking interested in William!William chuckled softly before placing the box of food on the table and pushing himself to his feet, “I was keeping Oliver company, is that a problem?”His eyes fell on me like he was just noticing the fact that I was in the room with the rest of them. His face became worse than how it was when he stepped in, then snapped in William's direction.“This is a work space, you're preventing him from working,” Benjamin raged again. He was keeping his voice on the low but it still carries as much venom like it did if he were louder.“I have done the work, all of them. The files are on wi—Felicia’s table awaiting your approval,” I replied calmly as well. It was difficult trying to hoard

    BenjaminIt was almost coincidental or like she had a camera inserted into the room to know when the meeting ended.As soon as the video call ended with the potential clients, my phone buzzed. I sighed, a conversation with her was long overdue but I had somehow been avoiding it.Maybe I was trying to evade the truth and what was the truth? The fact that I didn't have a fucking spine to tell her to call off the wedding. The fact that underneath this machismo and the bravery, I was glad that my mother had found some sort of remedy to it.I still had my reservations about Veronica and why my mother had picked her out of the plethora of women, but I rather live with the angel I knew than the one I didn't. I knew Veronica like the back of my hand, her likes and dislikes, everything.Her sudden amnesia about the events that led to our breakup was suspicious, but the curiosity that plagued me to find out the truth had slowly waned and fizzled out into the air. My mother had come through for
