You lost me, Now you'll lose everything. The inauguration.
CHAPTER 1. OLIVER'S POV. At twenty-three, I feel like I’ve achieved everything I ever wanted in life. Ever since I was twelve, I knew my dreams, to marry Lucas, the love of my life, and start a family with him while becoming the heiress to my family’s whole conglomerate and law firms. Peeking through the window, a wide grin spread across my face as I made eye contact with the dedicated workers down the hall. They were busy decorating for my big day tomorrow. I was about to kill two birds with one stone: I could not wait to become the heiress of my family’s empire and also Lucas' wife. I felt an urge to run around, my excitement was overwhelming. I had waited for this day my entire life. Quickly dressing in something casual, I walked out of my room. I realized I hadn’t seen my fiancé in the last twelve hours, so I decided to give him a call. The phone rang five times before he picked up. “Hey, soon-to-be wife,” he greeted softly, making me blush. “Are you missing me already?” he a

CHAPTER 2. OLIVIA'S POV. Samantha's eyes crinkled into a radiant smile for a moment, but as soon as she noticed my gaze, her expression shifted to a sharp frown. She gently helped me off the floor, and I settled onto the bed while she caressed my back softly. “It’s okay, sis. Daddy is just angry that your naked pictures are all over the internet,” she said solemnly. I paused my crying and took a deep breath. “How did my pictures get out into the world? That’s my privacy, Sam.” Samantha cradled my head, rubbing my back gently. “Daddy is just upset. Maybe you should see him later while I help you talk to Lucas.” “He seems to be very disappointed in you,” she added. “How did this even happen, sis? You should have been more careful. If you wanted to be with someone else, you could have told me, and I would have looked out for you.” I turned to her, taking her hands in mine and fixing my tear-filled eyes on her. “Please help me tell Lucas it isn’t true. Everything he saw online is a

CHAPTER 3 Five Years Later. It's been exactly five years since I walked out of my family home and flew down to Italy with a man I barely knew and a child I knew wasn't his. But look how time flies! It's been five years now, and I can't believe that I'm back in New York with my son, Jaden. Five years ago, I didn't just leave home,I left my hometown entirely and everything it had given me over the years. Now, I was going back—not because I had any desire to confront my past or to see my ex-fiancé or my father, but because it was time to chase my dreams, and I also wanted to show Jaden my family when the time is due.He deserves something real, especially since his whole existence has been a lie regarding who he thinks is his father. “Mommy, !” I push the cart around the mall as I watch my four-year-old son cheer me on. I just smile and caress his head as we continue while he squeals in delight. “Okay, Jaden, we are done here for today,” I said, and he kicked and wiggled as I pushed

CHAPTER 4 OLIVIA'S POV Another loud horn blared from across the street. I was already at the window, pulling the curtains aside to check if the delivery man had arrived. I wasn't just excited because my son wanted it; I was more excited to get it back after I lost it five years ago in that hotel room that ruined my life that night. Yet again, he wasn’t here. I sighed and returned to the plush couch, settling in comfortably. I picked up my phone and continued browsing about the Brown family. I wanted to see how the company was doing, and as expected, that jerk Lucas was now the CEO, with Samantha as his assistant. My dad is now retired. They’ve really tried to keep the legacy intact, but it’s sad that I’m here to undermine everything they’ve worked for—and I don’t even feel guilty about it. This would be the first Christmas Eve I won't be spending with my husband, Alessandro. How time flies.When I was heavily pregnant, I feared that Andro wouldn’t make a good father because he was

CHAPTER 5 OLIVIA POV I'm sure he's one of their lap dogs, doing whatever he's told the moment they bark orders at him. I can't risk it. I can't risk him coming back here with Samantha or Lucas, knowing I have a child. They'd do the math in the blink of an eye. That would only let Alessandro learn about the part of my life he doesn't know, and I pray he never finds out. A few minutes later, Jaden and his nanny, Jane, returned, and he quickly rushed over to me. “Mommy?” he called out sweetly. “I bought you this.” He stretched out his hand and handed me one of his chocolates. I couldn't help but smile as I gently cradled his head. I watched him happily jog back to Jane while I continued my apartment hunt. I swiped through pictures, looking for the best place—one with a playground where Jaden could play. Once I found it, I quickly emailed the realtor, who sent me photos of the apartment I wanted. Without hesitation, I made the payment and began packing. When I entered Jaden’s room

CHAPTER 6 WILLIAMS’S POV I could hear her ragged heartbeat as I came closer to her, and that was when I knew I still had a hold on her. Yes, I still had a hold on the one woman I hadn't been able to stop loving after that night. She narrowed her eyes and said in a scratching tone, “I just said I don't know you, and I don't think we are that close for you to be speaking to me like that. Shouldn't that be considered sexual harassment?” My lips curled into a smile. “No, dear. Shouldn't you be trying to convince me to sign and accept your request to be an intern here?” I asked, a little amused by how quickly she showed her temper. “Well, my CV is solid enough to get me the job!” she pointed out confidently. “I don't need to use my body or allow some cheap misogynistic jokes to pass.” I couldn't help but smile. Olivia Brown is now very different from the one I had slept with five years ago. The woman I had been with that night was young and naive. She was an emotional mess back then,

CHAPTER 6 OLIVIA POV. “I can't promise that for sure,” he said. “I mean, I haven't seen you in ages, and you expect me to be professional?” “Come on, Livie,” he urged in a low tone, but once he looked at my face and noticed I wasn't feeling his jokes, he sat up. “Okay, fine. I promise I will try my best to be very, very professional,” he said. I nodded and released a sigh. That was all I wanted to hear. I just needed to know that he wouldn't try to ruin this internship for me. This is my career, and even Alessandro doesn't know about it. I didn't bother to tell him that he has a lot on his plate already. “Is that all you want?” Williams asked out of the blue, and I nodded. Yes, that was all I wanted from him. I needed him to stay far away from me, and I hoped he would be able to keep this very professional so people wouldn't start to talk. In this line of work, it's easier to tear down than to build up. Any little link-up, and I'm sure everyone will attribute my hard work to h

CHAPTER 8 OLIVIA'S POV. I froze in my steps and wished I had never walked down here to get something to drink. I could have just made a few calls, and the hotel attendant would have brought it to my room number for me. Right now, I wish I could just drift back and hide. I wanted to roll back into a coil and hide away from Samantha, but before I could even take a step backward, she had seen me. Once she saw me, her face lit up with a warm, pretentious smile. “Oh my goooood!” she screamed excitedly. She rushed forward, leaving the room she was about to book, and quickly pulled me into a tight hug. “You never told us you came back home, sis!” she said, twirling me around, her voice laced with a hint of concern that I knew was fake as hell. But I just stood there with a straight face. “Are you coming from home?” she asked excitedly. “Have Daddy seen you? Have Mummy seen you? They’ve missed you so much!” Her eyes swept over me, and she sighed. “Oh, it seems you’re lodged in here?”

CHAPTER 25OLIVIA Once I walked in with the Smiths, I could see the shock on William's face. It looked like he had seen a ghost. He stood there in disbelief, staring blankly at the old man and his young wife, Mrs. Lola. They both walked into his office while I stood by the side. Jsi's face lit up immediately when he saw them, and that told me all I needed to know about how highly he regards the Smith family. He hadn't smiled in the last three hours. When I came to work today, I noticed that my desk had been moved to the hallway leading to his office. It was usually in his office, but it had been moved outside. I took the hint immediately that he didn't want to see my face. But I still made some hot coffee—his favorite—and moved to give it to him, but he declined it as well. When I got to his office a few hours ago, I dropped the tea gently so it wouldn't spill, but he waved his hand dismissively, asking me to take the tea and leave his office. He didn't need to speak; his actions bro

CHAPTER 24 WILLIAMS I still can't believe that she let the Smiths slip through our fingers just like that. I begged her; I asked her to make sure she did her job well. I trusted her, and look what she repaid me with? Betrayal? I shook my head, averting my gaze outside. I had been calling the Smiths' PA for the last few hours, and she hasn't been picking up her phone. I guess she knows why I was calling her. The idea that the Smiths just cut short our contract without any prior issues is infuriating. They didn't even wait for me; they just cut it off. Well, not that I didn't know that family was filled with a bunch of unhinged individuals, but I was still trying to get them back. The case is a class action. The Smiths are well-known in this part of the world. Any lawyer who wins it is like winning a gold medal in the Olympics. That attorney would be the hottest in the game for the next season, and the firm would be the right place for any intern or any new cases. This was going to

CHAPTER 23 OLIVIA I can't believe I'm two freaking hours late! I quickly moved to the bathroom to take a bath so I could head to work. There's a part of me that keeps praying Williams won’t scold me or ask unnecessary questions.If he does, I have no answers. I can't tell him I came to work late because I was trying to move from my house into a hotel, hoping that one of these days he doesn’t show up out of nowhere to come see me or even Jayden.A couple of minutes later, I was done. I didn’t care to put on any makeup; I didn’t have money for that. I quickly tucked my hair back, picked up my keys, and rushed out.My mind raced with thoughts as I headed to the company. I can't believe I'm about to screw this up. What if I get in there and he fires me?Coming two hours late is a viable reason to fire someone, so I wouldn’t hold it against him if he does.Finally, I pulled into the company driveway and parked my car. Picking up my bag and phone, I slammed my door and increased my pace t

CHAPTER 22 OLIVIA."Hello, ma'am? Good afternoon. I got your number from your website. I'm calling to ask if you have any empty apartments to rent out," I said once the call connected while I continued driving."I need an apartment that is available immediately. Something I can move into first thing tomorrow morning."The lady acknowledged that they had some apartments she would love me to come see this evening, and I was more than happy that I was getting an apartment so quickly. When Alessandro comes next, I’ll lie to him about it being far from my workplace at Jerkins Headquarters.As I hung up and returned my focus to driving, Jayden piped up. "Mommy, why are we moving again?""Oh, baby, it has to do with my work. Staying here will be so stressful for Mommy to always go to work, okay?"From the rearview mirror, I saw him give a shaky nod. I knew he wasn't happy that we were moving again, but I had no choice but to find somewhere Williams wouldn't easily find me.Somewhere to star

CHAPTER 21WILLIAMSI looked down at him and gulped, my mouth dry as I swallowed hard, not knowing what to say. I never expected him to ask me to play with him—at least, not so quickly.“Jayden, not today. Uncle is a bit busy, so maybe some other time.” Olivia tried to brush him away from me, but I bent down and took his hands into mine.I smiled. “Yeah, I will play with you. Let's go have some fun while Mommy is busy on her phone.”His lips curled into a smile, and his face lit up with happiness. He turned, and his steps became jerky; he seemed excited that I wanted to play with him. Just being able to hold his hands gave me a satisfaction I hadn't felt in years.Knowing he is my son made it even more appealing to me. I might hate the fact that I can't tell him that I'm his father, but I know that will happen soon when I get Olivia back into my life, and then we will live like a happy family.When we finally got to the playground, there were just a few kids left.“I want the swings!”

CHAPTER 20OLIVIA I leaned back against the leather seat of my car, holding my head in my hands as I let out a deep sigh. I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing now. What if Andro is stalking around or has one of his boys trailing me wherever I go? I mean, that’s something he could do.But at this point, I seem to be out of choices. I already signed those documents, and there was no going back from here. As I sat back in my car, my mind buzzed with the events of the day and the decisions I had made. I couldn't shake the feeling that everything was happening so fast; now I'm working with Williams, and he is about to see his son? It all seems to be moving at a crazy speed. I sat there lost in thought, my fingers clasped together, until one of Williams's boys knocked on my window.I jolted back to reality and turned my engine on. Gripping the steering wheel, I shifted gears and hit the streets, with Williams's car trailing right behind mine. As I drove, I con

CHAPTER 19OLIVIAI sat up in my chair and weighed my options. Giving him access to his child sounded crazy.But then again, now knowing he is Williams Jerkins, one of the richest and craziest bachelors in this city, there’s a huge chance he will track me down and take his son, even if I decide to run away from all of this.I contemplated my options, finding the best one that suits my interests. I can't let Alessandro find out that Jayden isn't his biological son, and I can't let him ever meet Williams Jerkins. On the other hand, I must not let Williams know that I am also married, and he must never meet Alessandro. If they ever meet each other, then I think I'm a dead woman.It felt like I was playing two powerhouse men, but what choices do I have?Run away with Alessandro? That seems almost impossible since he’s also hell-bent on helping me deal with my family for what they did to me years ago. Most of the time, he acts like he has some

CHAPTER 18WILLIAMS.I bit my lower lip, unable to contain the grin that stretched across my face.Seeing Olivia Brown sitting right in front of me felt like a late Christmas gift, but I didn't care; I would accept it either way.I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that she came here willingly. Once my janitor told me he saw her, I couldn't resist. I had to send her in despite her having an official meeting with her sister, Samantha Brown.Anything in this world can wait until I'm done speaking with Olivia Brown.She shifted her gaze from the table to her clothes while fidgeting with them, trying to avoid eye contact with me.“How did you know it was me coming in here?” she asked. I chuckled as I looked at her; I couldn't help smiling; I was clearly amused by her reaction."Don't you think it's obvious?" I said. "I have cameras all over here, and I’ve had my boys looking for you all over the city for the past five years. They’ve registered your face in their minds and would

CHAPTER 17My eyes swept from her feet to her head, and I let out a resigned sigh.It was Samantha, but I didn't have time to deal with her right now. I was more focused on meeting the CEO of the Jerkins family.She glared at me as she settled down right next to me. “Hello, sis. What brings you here?”I rolled my eyes and let out a disappointed sigh. I had woken up this morning in high spirits, and I didn’t want to engage in conversation with someone who radiated negativity. So, I decided to stay silent.“This is the Jerkins company. Don’t tell me you came here looking for a job,” she said, a hint of mockery in her voice.She tucked her hair behind her ear and sighed. “Come on, sis. You can come back to the company. I’ll add you to the managerial staff. Dad is retired, so we don’t need his permission anymore. Working for the Jerkins?” She shook her head and leaned in closer, her voice softening. “Sis, you’re still a Brown. I don’t want you running around searching for some dead-end jo
