Olive's eyes were met with the blinding sun rays that penetrated the hotel room. Her eyes fell on her lower body and she made to shout in surprise when seeing the hickeys all over her thighs, belly, and her breasts. She was certain there were many of them on her neck but now wasn't the time for her to check.

She turned around and Olive spotted the man who was sleeping on the bed close by. She was surprised because he was really good-looking and didn't look anything like how Luca had described the investor.

He looked like a mini-Demi god even though he was sleeping! His face was so handsome even though it was still morning time. Olive didn't know why he looked so different from the description Luca gave her.

She couldn't help but stare a little bit more. But then she remembered that her mother still needed to undergo surgery so she immediately grabbed her gown from the floor and her heels. She went to the bathroom and dressed up real quick.

After that, she rushed to the table close by and reached out to her bag to sneak out of the room.

She turned around to look at the man for the last time, she wondered how such a fine man could be so indiscipline to want to bed a woman before he worked with a company.

' what a waste ' she thought before she sneaked out of the room and made her way down the hall to head to her uncle's house to inform Maggie that she was done with the work.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Tension hung in the air as the man paced around the room, he screeched again after a while "You dumb ass, a lady came into my room last night and none of you knew about it??"

The three guards lowered their heads "We only went to take a nap when the sun was beginning to set, Boss Logan"

Logan Smith Snapped "Out of my sight. You incompetent fools".

His friend who was sitting on the couch close by called out to him "Calm down, Logan. I still do not understand the reason you are worried about sleeping with a stranger, it doesn't call for this reaction"

Logan scoffed, "I do not care either but I feel very wronged cause I was drunk all in the name of attending your damn birthday party here in this hotel"

His friend, Scott rolled his eyes ridiculously "It's only normal that you attend my birthday but I still think this shouldn't be your concern..your concern right now should be about your nagging father and your company's image that is at stake here"

Logan kicked the furniture close by before he sat on the bed, mulling over his wrenched predicament.

Logan Smith is a thirty-six-year-old man whose only agenda at the moment is to clear his name and his company's reputation.

He sighed "How bad is the rumor now, Secretary Scott?"

His secretary and best friend, Scott reported "The hot rumor of you being Gay has topped the search list and the news keeps spreading even to international markets and platforms. Three other overseas investors pulled out this morning and my phone has been buzzing even during my birthday that I had to shut it off. People are talking"

Logan cupped his face in his palm as he let out a deep breath "Scott...I am to meet my arranged bride in a few hours,please prepare my outfit, I need to clear all of these dirty misunderstandings"

Scott nodded and Logan reported again "And that woman from last night, find everything about her and send them to me! You have just a few minutes to dig into her background! Even if it means inquiring from the hotel management about the CCTV. Do it"

Scott ogled at Logan for a while and when Logan felt the gaze on him, he scowled "What?"

"Am I the only one thinking this is strange??" He asked with a hushed tone and Logan shook his head.

"It is shocking. Till now, I still don't feel sick and my skin is not pricking, no rash, redness, itching, or blisters which I normally get due to my rare illness" Logan said with a sigh "And This makes me even more curious about the lady from last night"

"I thought the doctor said you can only get an episode of your idiopathic contact dermatitis if touched by a woman, how come this lady is different??"

Logan stood up from the bed "And that is why, you must find her before I get to my arranged bride's house!" With that, Logan stepped into the bathroom adjacent to the room.

The world doesn't know of his rare illness where he can't be in physical contact with a woman else, his skin starts to develop redness, rashes, blisters, and even swells.

This was the reason people started to question his sexual preference because he was never seen close to a woman, even during functions his guards were on standby to chase women away from getting close to him. Only his immediate family knows about his illness.

Meanwhile, The taxi Olive boarded parked right outside her uncle's house and she jumped out of the car to go meet her aunt, Maggie.

She just wanted to take the money from her and head straight to the hospital. Her mom's nurse called again to inform her that they had just a little time left.

Olive pushed the door open and hurried into the living room in search of Maggie and thankfully, she spotted her in the living room, standing close to the fireplace,luca was also standing there.

"Aunt Maggie..." Olive rushed to her side to inform her that she had completed the work.

"I did it, can you transfer the money to—" Her words were cut off by a hot slap, the slap turned her face to the side and she accidentally bit her lip due to the force of the slap.

She raised her eyes to look at Maggie but Maggie only glared at her sharply, Olive whimpered "Aunt..."

"You filthy thing, what did you do? A simple task and you couldn't deliver!!"

A question mark formed in her head "I-did as told"

Maggie immediately pushed Olive in anger and she fell on the hard tiled floor feeling puzzled "You want to play smart with me, huh?? You fool, the investor called that you never came!"

    Olive was not only bewildered but also dumbfounded. She quickly shook her head thinking they were trying to make a fool out of her."No aunt. I went into the room and slept with that stranger" Still holding her cheek, Olive confirmed but Luca only snorted."The investor called that he waited for you in the room but you never showed up! How could you be so dimwit to not do this right?" Luca scolded, she was only a year older than Olive and three years younger than Adeline.Olive quickly stood up from the floor, her cheeks had the prints of Maggie's fingers on her face "I went to that hotel, I walked into room number 099 as told and I—""Wait. Room 099??" Maggie bellowed and Olive nodded after a while.Maggie stamped her feet on the tiled floor "Can't you comprehend a thing?? The number written on that paper is 066, how could you turn the paper upside down??" Luca shook her head, amused by Olive's stupidity. Olive's face turned ghastly as the realization dawned on her.

I have choices and this union with your family is off”He returned his gaze at Olive “ Dear Olive, I am still waiting” Luca snapped her head at Olive, her glaring eyes penetrated Olive’s body.Olive didn’t know how to react, faced with Logan’s Waiting eyes, Luca’s glaring eyes, Maggie’s scrunched face, and Her uncle’s death-sending eyes.She didn’t know what to do at that point but to gulp loudly, her throat popping up and down.Logan s

Both of them exited the living room.Logan’s eyes constricted as he twisted his face, trying to contain the pain as he matched towards his car in long strides.His driver, Matthew quickly pulled open the car door when he saw Logan. His movement was fast as he pulled open the door.Logan impatiently shoved Olive forward for her to get into the car. “Get in” he gritted out, his voice hoarse as he watched Olive get in quickly.His breathing was rigid as he pushed himself into the car too before groaning “Matthew…Get the syringe” he muttered the last part as he rested his head on the chair.His chest rose and fell at a fast pace, and his body had completely turned red filled with rashes, blisters, and swells.Oli

Though she can't touch you, you still date her..why not marry her?" She blurted. Her eyes searched his and he cleared his throat."It's just that my parents don't approve of her, none of them want us to be together but I love her" Logan clarified, and that made Olive nod."So, during our course of fake marriage, You'll still be keeping her" Olive articulated while eyeing Logan.“Just know this is a fake marriage. Butting into my business won’t be appreciated by me. Just do your own part of the deal and we’re good” he coldly said and that made Olive tongue tied.Instead of answering the initial question, Logan pushed open the car door, leaving Olive to wonder about his answer.Logan moved towards the house and just then, Scott came out of the house to meet him halfway."Logan, what is happening next?"

Is she receiving treatment now?” Nurse Becca smiled widely “Do not worry. She is receiving care while the search in a broader region for a donor is ongoing.”Olive let out a mouthful of air as she held her chest as if to calm it down. The nurse beamed at Her before patting her shoulder “One Mr Smith paid for the bills. I hope your mother will be able to make it before a match is found.” “Can I see her??” Olive asked immediately and she nodded “Sure. She’s in room 23 at the end of the left lane” With that, the nurse walked away. Not wasting time, Olive started to find the room where her mother was receiving trea

    Speechless??Olive was utterly speechless as she stared at the people in front of her. The other man who claimed to be her father. Her father!!! The anonymous person in her life, the man she had always wanted to meet, to know. He was the one sitting in front of her at the moment. Tears filled Olive's eyes as she locked gazes with Adam Taylor who was feeling all emotional. She couldn't describe what she felt at that point. Her first encounter with her father was him saving her from death's grip. He saved her from whoever was after her that day. Was he really a good man?? Why did her mother leave him?? Why did she run away from him?? Why hadn't she stayed??Olive's eyes moved from the older man to the three guys behind the old man. The three triplets turned out to be her step-brothers. They introduced themselves as Damien, Derek, and Dain. Olive's head felt swampy all of a sudden. The information was just too much to digest. Since the beginning, a series of incident has been happe

    Logan had a clouded face on as he stood behind the officers who were running some investigations. A few CCTV cameras that were planted on the roads were taken from the streets for a thorough check. Logan was behind them, his hand was on his jaw as he watched with narrowed eyes. Scott was just behind him, a few feet away. Logan moved from behind one officer to another at a calm and slow pace. But within him, he was furious. It's been three days and yet nothing seems to be coming forth. Olive was still not found. He turned to look at Scott and whispered to him. "Have you arranged the men??" Scott fearfully nodded, his throat popping up and down in panic. "Do you really want to do that to your father??"Logan glared at Scott. "He's not going to die. He's just going to tell me where my wife is! If he doesn't know, he will get it from me." He turned his back to Scott after that speech."Mr Smith, we just got a lead.." the chief who was also inspecting the work quickly beckoned to Loga

    Beep! Beep! Beep!The beeping sounds from the heart monitor filled the silent hospital ward. The room was painted in white colored paints. A closed window with light curtains, and a vase stood proudly on the window panel. On the bed, was Olive. Sleeping soundly with an airbag attached to her nostrils to aid her breathing. Her forehead was bandaged and wrapped with a white gauze. She was made to wear the blue hospital dress. Her hair scattered all over the bed, and her eyes were closed as she slept. Around the bed were four men, an older man who sat on the stool closest to her, and three other young men who were standing. The silence was strong as they all stared at Olive, unblinkingly. Worry hitched on their faces as they watched over the lady who had been unconscious for 24 hours with no sign of waking up. The older man named Adam Taylor turned his head to look at his sons, his triplet sons, he said to them. "Has anybody gotten information about her husband?" One of the triple

    Ring! Ring! Ring!!Logan paced around in the living room as he dialed Olive’s contact info nonstop but she wasn’t answering. Lilian who was rocking the crying baby was also worried. “I’m sorry, I could have called you earlier when she wanted to leave.” Logan shook his head. “She said she wanted to go pick up something. You had no idea she would stay out late like this.” It was already evening and Olive was nowhere to be found.“I’ll call her bodyguard.” He also dialed the black man’s number but his phone was out of coverage. “What the hell is going on??” That unsettling feeling formed in his chest. “Remind me again, When did she leave home??” Logan turned to face the worried Lilian and Mrs Jenkins. “Noon.” Mrs Jenkins replied before carrying Iris from Lilian. Iris has been crying for a while now with no hope of stopping anytime soon. They sang for her,rocked her, gave her tons of toys, and made hilarious faces for her but she wouldn’t stop crying. “I don’t like this,” Logan mutte

    Olive's face twisted as she listened to her uncle talk. Her hand that gripped the phone tightened. Mr Brown said from the other end. "That's the one thing your mother cherished before she died. Since we moved into this apartment, we wanted to get rid of old stuff so you should come over to grab your mother's heirloom before Maggie discards it.""I remember begging you for the heirloom before. Why do you want to relinquish it now??" Olive raised a brow. She was in her bedroom while her baby was with Lilian who came for a short visit. She left Lilian and Mrs Jenkins in the living room to answer the call. Logan had gone to the office with Scott early that morning. So, it was just Lilian, Mrs Jenkins and Olive at home with several other bodyguards that Logan brought over to the house a few days back. "True, I had wanted to keep it as mine but your husband won't let me and my family off the hook. He warned us to return everything in our possession to you which we have done except the he

    “Boss, I just got an intel that Ravenna is out of the country,” Scott reported to Logan. A frown settled on Logan’s face when he heard that. He had kept taps on Ravenna to know that she was stranded. He had taken back the apartment from her and she had to rent another downtown. It was a small studio room. Her ex-boyfriend was nowhere to be found since the day he approached him about his dealings with Ravenna. For anything, Logan was sure about Ravenna being broke. How come she was able to fly out of the country??“I think it is a good thing. At least, I won’t have to worry about her doing something to my family.” Logan said nevertheless. “But tighten the security around my house should in case she comes out of the blue to do something stupid as always.” “Yes, Boss,” Scott responded before the call ended.

    "Congratulations, such a beautiful baby.." Mrs Smith giggled. Lilian was behind her as they all smiled down at the baby. London was arranging some flowers on the desk while Logan was outside with his father. Olive smiled weakly as she lay on the bed, discussing with the ladies. Outside, Logan sighed as he tucked both hands into his pants pocket, he said. "Dad, I hope your notion of trying to get me to marry Amelia is over now that I am a father." Mr Smith's hand was on the railings as they both stood there, watching the city. It was evening already. Mr Smith shook his head. His silence made Logan speak up again. "Dad...""Yes. Fine, you're a father of a daughter, I won't do anything. I'll tell Amelia to give up on the chase." He stated dryly. His eyes were wandering around. Logan raised a brow at his father. "That was so fast. Are you planning something?? Spill it."Mr Smith gave him a sided look before looking ahead again. "What do you mean?? I'm serious right now." "You don't

Adeline, too ridiculed by the public, tried to abort the baby which led to her bleeding profusely, and eventually lost the baby and her womb along with it.Olive was shaken by the news. Even though she hated the Andersons family, she felt bad for Adeline. Meanwhile, the feud between Mr Smith and Logan stretched on. Mr Smith was hellbent on making sure Logan agreed to marry Amelia. At one time, he tried to blackmail Olive to leave his son.He had said. "Do you know you'll receive so many benefits if you agree to leave Logan?? But if you don't, I'll hunt you down and make sure Logan doesn't locate the spot I bury you!" His chilly words sent shivers down Olive's spine. She felt fear.

    - Please Read The Author’s Note at the end of the chapter. - As Olive sat close to Logan the whole time since the beginning of the meeting, She could feel those burning gazes on her forehead, and a hole threatened to develop there. In the unfamiliar conference hall, Olive hasn’t stepped foot in since her mother was ruined by her uncle and replaced by him, Olive was a little unsettled. Maybe it was the nerves of what she was finally getting rid of or because of the stares of the several shareholders who were surprised to see her, the reporters who wouldn’t stop clicking their cameras, and the Andersons whose gazes held hostility, helplessness, and sadness. Guilty? Not. One. Bit. Logan as promised was supportive throughout the whole process. He didn’t butt in, he allowed her to handle the work of belittling her uncle while he sat there as her shield. Olive was given the satisfaction of seeing Mr Brown Anderson lose control for once. She was honored by the opportunity to
