CHAPTER 36

OLIVIA

By the time I was done enjoying my slice of cake, everyone had gone back to work. I walked out and saw Gab packing up some glasses, so I quickly joined her.

“Oh,” she chuckled. “Thank you, dear. You didn't need to; it's your day, and you're supposed to enjoy it.”

Urgh. The birthday drama again? I can't even catch a break at this point. I can’t tell her that it isn’t my birthday. I don’t think Williams did the same thing; I think he just told them to go back to work since we were done with the celebrations. So I’d just keep quiet and act like it is actually my birthday.

I helped her carry the glasses to the other side of the firm before the cleaning ladies came to collect them from us. We both proceeded to wash our hands in the bathroom. I glanced at her from time to time as we washed our hands. I couldn’t help but admire her—her fashion sense, her style, and what she has achieved in the judicial world. She is such a stunning woma

  • You lost me, Now you'll lose everything.    Chapter 36

    CHAPTER 36WILLIAMS My breath hitched, and the smile on my face quickly faded.Today is not her birthday? That has to be some twenty-first-century joke. I cross-checked the date like four times before I started making any preparations. What the hell is she talking about?“What do you mean today isn’t your birthday?” I asked, confusion twisting in my voice. “Don’t tell me you forgot your own birthday!”It’s okay to be ambitious and hardworking, but you should also love yourself and take care of yourself. Put yourself first. Birthdays only come once a year, so why should you have forgotten about yours, huh?She heaved a deep sigh and dropped the flowers and watch on the table. Looking at her, I felt a surge of frustration and confusion at the same time.“Williams, I understand your frustration, but I'm no dummy. I know my date of birth off the top of my head to tell you that today isn’t my birthday.”“I’m equally shocked t

    CHAPTER 34WILLIAMS I quickly dashed into the bathroom and took my bath. In a couple of minutes, I was done, dressed, and headed downstairs where the car was waiting for me. Once inside, my driver took me straight to the firm. Sitting in the car, I checked the time; it was almost ten in the morning. A small smile crept onto my lips. Yes, I was early. I wanted to supervise everything to ensure it was just right before she arrived. I didn’t want this to go awry. I wanted it to be perfect so she could be swept off her feet.In a couple of minutes, my car pulled into the firm’s compound, and the engine was turned off. I stepped out and made my way inside quickly. Just as I expected, some of the staff weren’t there yet. The ones who were at work were the workaholics who hated going home or having a little time to themselves. Each time they had a moment to themselves, they would surely come back to the firm and immerse themselves in work. I guess that was what made them

    CHAPTER 32 WILLIAMS My ringtone blared through, and my eyes stirred open. It was still seven in the morning. Who the hell would be calling another person this early? I assumed it must have been an emergency, so I reached for my phone. I grabbed it from the other end of the bed where I had dropped it last night. I rubbed my eyes, trying to shake off the sleep so I could see clearly. Once I did, I realized it was one of my security staff at the firm buzzing my phone this early. I let out a deep sigh before swiping up to answer the call.It had better be because the firm is burning to the ground that he called me for. Anything less than that, I might have his ass fired for disturbing my sleep."What the fuck is it, Shaw? Don’t you fucking look at the damn time to see it isn’t convenient to call anyone at this hour?” I snapped as soon as I picked up the call."I'm really sorry, sir, but I called your PA, Gabrielle, and she didn't pick up, so I had to

  • You lost me, Now you'll lose everything.    Biker boy

    CHAPTER 32 OLIVIA “Hey, you look oddly familiar. Did you come from Houston?” A six-foot biker walked up to me and asked. I shook my head, disapproving of him.“Oh, looks like she doesn't speak. What a waste of pussy, brother,” he teased, and a whole lot of them burst out laughing. My grip on my drink tightened, but I just swallowed and forced a smile at the man. I had nothing to say to them right now until I watched them all get locked up behind bars for their crimes. I had been sitting here for a couple of hours now, and I had seen a lot of crazy things happen. In just a few hours, I had seen the bikers have a race. The race was a little exciting since I had never seen anything like it. They raced, and some of them bet their money on who would win. It was quite thrilling, except for the fact that I heard some of the riders boast that they took different routes through some person’s house just to make it back early and win the prize.The most annoying of

  • You lost me, Now you'll lose everything.    She isn't back yet

    CHAPTER 31WILLIAMS "Come on, guys, let's leave this talk of work. I came here to have a good time, not to speculate about work. If I wanted anything about work, then I would have just stayed back at my office and buried my head deep in it," I said, walking away to grab a cup of wine.Once I got there, I greeted the bartender, and she poured me a shot. I downed it immediately and asked for two more. I just wanted something to take my mind off Olivia for a moment. After that, I picked up my phone again and noticed she had sent me her location. I heaved a deep sigh before swinging my phone back into my pocket. Right now, I felt a little relieved. I knew her location, and if any of those motherfuckers touched her, they'd have me to contend with.I moved and joined the boys playing soccer tennis. We played for several minutes, with Lucas being too hard on himself. Olivia must have hurt his feelings badly when she took back the Smith case from him. There were n

  • You lost me, Now you'll lose everything.    Who?

    CHAPTER 30WILLIAMS I watched her leave my office, but my heart was still pounding in my chest. I'm not sure this is the right decision, but Olivia is just so stubborn. She didn't want me to go, and I know no amount of convincing would make her change her mind. She had made up her mind even before informing me, but right now, I'm almost having a heart attack thinking those motherfuckers might put their hands on her. They might just try to touch her. Those men are animals; most of them were groomed to be beasts and are very uncultured. They don't treat their women right. I've heard crazy tales about how they assault women and rape them. A lot of people said the allegations were baseless, but I know there’s no fire without smoke.If the rumors spread like wildfire, then they must have done something like that before. It's not that far-fetched for people who bathe in crime every day. The truth is, I hate bikers. I hate anything that has to do with them. I don't w

  • You lost me, Now you'll lose everything.    I will go with you

    CHAPTER 29OLIVIA "I'm going with you," he pushed his chair back, standing up while I just watched. There was no way he was going to the biker's club with me. Once he went there, he would ruin all my plans. From the information I had gathered, bikers flock more to women who come to the club without any other partner. They conclude you must be single, and then they shoot their shots. But when you come there with a man, the majority of them would let you go and not speak to you. The ones who would engage would likely be the ones who disregard their morals and rules—probably the irresponsible ones.And if someone like Williams decided to go with me in his suit, along with all his expensive watches and shoes, he’d grab all the attention, and my going there would be ruined entirely. Every biker would want to talk with him to see why someone as rich as he is came to that biker's neighborhood. I can't take the risk. Most bikers are honest, but this one is far from it. The

  • You lost me, Now you'll lose everything.    Tit for tat

    CHAPTER 27 OLIVIA I woke up at seven to multiple calls from Williams during the night. At first, I contemplated that it might be an emergency or something similar, but it was too late. It was beyond working hours, so I decided not to call back; I was going to see him at work anyway. Scrambling out of bed, I made a pit stop in the bathroom and took a quick shower before dressing up. I knew I was running late, but I didn’t care at this point. I had a lot I was working on for the case regarding the Smiths. That case was not just big; it was deep. I had stayed up all night trying to gather names of all the families in town whose kids might have been abused. I needed concrete evidence to pin those MC gang members down. The state district was covering them up and not turning them over to the appropriate authorities. Any missteps right now would reveal our hand, and I didn’t want that. I didn’t want them to see me coming, and I didn’t want the state district to even know the case was unde
