I sat in my office pondering on the last time I got to see Olive. She looked different and even sounded so. Realizing that she was now a successful businesswoman left me with a feeling of pride and admiration. When I looked at my current fiancee, I could not say the same.

I reminisced on when we first got married and how I was crazy enough to hire my ex wife as my personal assistant.

~2018~

It was a few weeks after the wedding. Tasha had to leave for a job outside LA that morning and I

  • What's Love Without A Second Chance    80 ~ Olive

    It was New Year's eve. The house was bustling with excitement. The bits of tension left over from the conflicts that occurred within the past week, seemed to have been forgotten. As usual, Xander and I sat by the balcony enjoying each other's company as the night breeze blew over our faces, cooling our temperatures."Sometimes I find it hard to forgive myself for how much I wronged you." He said, breaking the comfortable silence we were enjoying just moments before. His statement was jarring and absolutely unexpected.My emotions were a mix of shock and worry when I questioned him. "Xander, why would you say that?"His eyes dimmed with regret. "I missed out on major milestones. Arya's birth, her growth process, her first steps, her first words, everything. And sometimes I hate myself it. I wish I was there,"I rubbed on my temples, not sure if I wanted this conversation to get this intense. "Xander let's just forget about that. What matters now is that we've gotten the closure we d

    "Well?" Nonna asked me as I entered her room for our usual daily talks."We're close." I said with a triumphant smile."Excellent!" She exclaimed gleefully, clapping her hands like Arya would do whenever she was excited about something. For this particular reason, I saw a semblance between my daughter and grandmother. I grinned even wider at the thought."You've put in a lot of work and I am proud of you. Now all you have to do is make sure she's in love enough to agree to marry you." Nonna said, reminding me of the final goal."Yes nonna,""We do not want her turning you down like she did that ex boyfriend of hers." She added thoughtfully.I swallowed, "Definitely not."I could not imagine her saying no to marrying me. It would shatter my heart but then again it was Olive, anything was possible with her so I could not rely solely on the signals she had been giving me of recent. I wanted this to work out so badly, I would grovel hard for her to agree to be mine again. But then I did n

    "Olive?" I heard him knock on the door rapidly. I buried my face in my pillow, wanting to shut him out. I could not because if he kept banging on the door like that, Arya would wake up from her nap and I did not want that right now.I got up and opened the door. "Baby, I'm so sorry," He pulled me into his arms and that was when I could finally let out all the pent up emotions I had locked in because I did not want my daughter to see me cry. "I don't think it was a good idea to come here." I said in between sobs.He hushed me gently, "Shh. Don't say that. This has been the best vacation so far, I'm sorry my messed up family had to ruin it."I hiccupped as I held myself from saying how I truly felt. Maybe if we did not get a divorce, all these would have been avoided or maybe if I just turned down his advances and accepted Malik's proposal, there would be no need for all of this."Forgive me," he said, bringing me back to reality. "It's okay. This isn't your fault." I said as usual.

    Xander and I were out shopping. Even when I had told him I did not need any new stuff, he still insisted and with the help of nonna, he was able to force me out of the house.As expected, he took me to a luxurious boutique despite my insistence that there was no need for any of that. I in fact just wanted to buy a few things for Arya but he insisted on getting me stuff as well.I picked up a fancy pair of shoes and he offered to help me buckle them as I sat down to try them on.I don't know if I was ovulating or something but something about the way he touched me made me want him so bad. I gasped slightly as his hands trailed to my thigh as he tried to get up.I swallowed and looked away, picking up my phone to distract myself from the sexual tension and also to check the app I used in tracking my cycle. "You like it?" He asked."Ye..yes..." I stuttered slightly and looked away again."Everything alright down there?""Huh?!" I immediately got apprehensive. What the heck was he talkin

    "You have a very interesting family." I said to him as we sat at the balcony that night, enjoying the cool evening breeze, that swept past our faces every now and then.I had witnessed some of the chaos he spoke about. And oh my I was beginning to understand why he did not like them very much."I know right." He said. "I'm sorry about how hostile some of them were to you." I nodded in understanding. "It's okay. It's not your fault at all."He patted my palm in acknowledgement of what I said, just before he spoke again."There's somewhere I'd like to take you tomorrow."That piqued my curiosity, "Okay, where?" I asked, with a slight tinge of excitement in my tone."It's a surprise."I shut my eye and threw my head back as I said, "Xander I don't like surprises.""Of course you do. You'd like this one I promise." He assured."I'll take your word for it."~~~It was quite chilly that morning. I was snuggled up in bed next to Xander as usual as he engulfed with warmth of his huge body. I

    When the moon came up and I found myself in the warmth of his arms, I was reminded of all those times when this was a norm."Do you think Arya is okay over there?" I asked. I knew she was used to sleeping without us but this was her first time sleeping in the same room with nonna. I did not want her disturbing Xander's grandmother in the middle of the night."You worry too much baby. She's fine." He said and kissed my shoulder blade. I nodded. There were no complaints the previous night so there was no need to keep worrying."I haven't seen your family members in so long, I wonder how they're going to react to us being here." I said as soon as the thought popped into my head. I was not very familiar with them but I knew what some of them looked like."You shouldn't bother yourself about that. The matriarch of this family wants you here and so do I, their opinions, whatever they may be, do not matter." He said firmly.Slowly, I turned to face him."You still have issues with them." It
