LOGINMeanwhile.. Alice bit on her nails. Her face clouded with worry as she was busy checking outside the window every now and then. In the room with her was a young man on a black face cap. He was busy fixing something on the flower vase at a distance. “How long is this going to take? My cousin will be here any minute.” The young man looked at her briefly over his shoulders. “I'm going as fast as I can. Setting up wireless cameras like this takes time.” Alice sighed and turned away in distress. Her hand went to her temple. She needed the work done as soon as possible so that he can get the fuck out of Olivia's place before she comes back. “Whatever, hurry up!” The job went on for another twenty minutes but this time, the young man was in a different location in the room. “This is taking forever—” “If you think that you can do this faster then come over here and get it done!” He finally snapped at her. He stood up to his feet and cracked his knuckles. “I'm done installing
Olivia's mind drifted back to what transpired in her office hours ago. She couldn't deny the fact that she was troubled when Aiden punched Asher hard in the face. The latter sustained an injury. His nose was probably broken or worse. She heard from Jade that he left the company as soon as he stepped out of her office. “I wonder if he's alright.” She thought aloud, fondling with her pen in between her fingers. Her laptop was opened before her. Its light casting a warm glow on her face. The weather changed drastically. It will rain any moment from now. She heaved a deep breath and proceeded to move her fingers across her keyboard but stopped when she heard the small commotion going on in front of her door. Turning her head slightly, she spotted Aiden trying to stop a familiar young lady from walking into the office. In a blink of an eye, she rammed her hand against his cheek. Her actions had him freezing for some seconds which gave her the perfect chance to walk past him. “Olivia
“You've been moody since you returned. How did your meeting with Asher go?” Stella questioned as she walked into the dark room. She ran her hand on the wall in search of the light switch and when she did, she turned it on to illuminate the dark room. Although it was still noon, it was still dark in their new room. They were currently staying over at a friend's house for the meantime. And only the little basement was available with a little window. Fred sat on an old wooden chair. On one hand was a glass of whiskey and next to his feet was half a bottle of the whiskey. “Say something, Fred. You're making me scared.” Stella urged once more. “We are screwed, Stella. Asher Adams is the son of the late Nicholas Adams and Gracie Adams. The same couple who died along with Olivia's parents.” Fred announced and brought the glass to his lips once more taking a full gulp. Stella brought both palms to her lips in shock. She walked closer to her husband and snatched the glass from his h
Olivia exhaled loudly as she pushed the door to her office open. She took a step in only to find a familiar silhouette sitting before her desk. The figure seemed to freeze for a second and so did she. She shut her eyes briefly and began walking to her desk at a fast pace. “What are you doing here? And what makes you think that you have the right to walk into my office?” Kelvin lifted his head to stare at her. A painful hue staining his eyes. He made an effort to reach for her hand on the desk but stopped midway. “You're looking beautiful today, Olivia.” Olivia scoffed and opened her laptop. “I've always looked beautiful, Kelvin. What do you want?” Her tone was filled with hostility towards him. When he didn't budge, she arched a brow at him. “I asked you a goddamned question!” She barked at him again. A smile spread across Kelvin's lips. He brought his gaze down to his fingers. Slowly, he reached for the cream colored card tucked away in his inner pocket and ran his fin
The next morning.. Asher sat before the long dining table staring into space. Before him was a white cup of coffee which had steam oozing out of it. He sat there in pure silence while his mind spiralled and traveled across the events that have been going on in his personal life. He strived so hard to take down Ryan Reynold after harboring hatred against the old man for years. He hated the fact that he allowed his own granddaughter to get everything while he was left with nothing but suffering and hate. But all that changed the moment he found his way into Olivia's heart. Even though she grew up in wealth she still craved to be loved. He used that to his advantage, courted her, made her fall in love with him and dumped her. She must have been heartbroken and devastated by his actions. And he should have been happy that he finally got what he wanted but here he was sitting before a table in a lonely house drinking black coffee. “Darn it.” He cussed and picked up the cup of coffee
It was one thing to be walking hand in hand with a current enemy and it was another thing to cross paths with an old enemy at the same time. That was the fate Olivia found herself when she spotted her former bestie making her way to her with a mocking smile on her lips. Nancy wasn't looking all bad, In fact she looked very well fed and well dressed. It didn't come as a surprise to Olivia since the latter had Kelvin for herself now. Alice recognized Nancy immediately. She was the same lady who snatched Olivia's first husband away from her. “If it isn't the two times abandoned woman, Olivia Reynold.” Nancy chuckled softly, bringing her left hand to hide her smile. Olivia exhaled deeply, she forced a smile on her lips and gave a small nod. “I remember you, the lady with multiple titles on the internet and also the one famously known as a home wrecker and the other woman in her bestie's marriage.” Olivia replied back. She saw Nancy's smile go stiff for a second before the latt
“Son, isn't this a little too extravagant?” Mrs Ashford and also Kevin's mother inquired. She was dressed in a deep blue gown which was similar to the one Nancy had on. Her hazel eyes fell on Olivia for a second. “We could have donated the funds to charity instead..”Her spiteful remark didn't sto
Everything they told her was nothing but a lie. Every act, every care and affection. People she once considered friends and relatives joined hands to betray her. Olivia dabbed the white handkerchief under her eye bag. The unique scent on it had her freezing for a second, she raised her head looki
Later that night, Olivia spikes a fever and she's burning hot. Her petite frame was coiled up underneath the thick blanket over her. This was a result of her staying outside for so long watching the servants clear the rose garden.She heard the door open but was too lazy and weak to lift her head u
A few minutes into the silent drive, Kelvin spotted something and pulled over at a corner in the noisy street. He unbuckled his seatbelt which startled Olivia for a second. “I’ll be right back..” he murmured before stepping out of the car. She trailed his movement closely with her eyes until he st
