_KIMBERLY_I tossed and turned restlessly as I wondered why Oliver was taking so long. We have been together for almost six months but I still couldn't shake off how badly I missed him all the time.A part of me felt afraid that I was being too clingy but I didn't let it bother me because Oliver never complained about it. I rolled over until I was lying on my back and I stared at the ceiling.The Woodlings were different from my family. They weren't overwhelming or overbearing and it felt warmer than my family. A part of me wished that I could introduce Oliver to my family, but there was nobody who I wanted him to know. If my parents were still alive, I would have reconsidered.I sighed and stretched for the hundredth time that morning. I didn't care about the Wingates. I didn't give a damn about them nor did I care about what they had to say anymore. I had to focus on what was in front of me.The vibrations from my phone caught my at

 _OLIVER_I tapped my fingers impatiently on the dark, mahogany table as everyone around me chatted happily amongst themselves. My company managed to seal the deal and now, we were just getting to know each other better over a meal.Woodling Inc. had booked an entire floor of a hotel close by and hired a highly recommended restaurant to supply us with food for the evening. The atmosphere was great and this partnership would bring many good things for my company.This should have been the best day of my life, but I wasn't in the mood for any more interactions. It's been over three hours and I just wanted to go home.As soon as the main part of the meeting was done with, my mind went back to what happened earlier today. I was frustrated that what was supposed to be a joyful session of teaching Kim how to tie my tie ended the way that it did. I neither wanted her to hate me nor did I want her to be angry with me. Why can't she under

  _KIMBERLY_ I walked into the cool, air conditioned hallway of the hospital as my heart pounded viciously against my rib cage. I kept my mind clear as I followed the directions that Ana had sent earlier and avoided all negativity that would flow in if I let my guard down. Turning a corner, my heart softened at the sight of Anastasia and Olivia, who were seated on the bench in front of Oliver's room. I noticed that they were bent over as they looked at Olivia's phone and I wondered what they were looking at. I slowed down my steps as I approached them and when I got closer, I discovered that they were staring at old photos. "Here," Olivia said as she pointed to a picture where a child, who was in a school uniform and looked to be in his early teens, was visibly upset, "is when Oliver didn't want to go to school because he said that the girls would fill his desk with love letters again since it was Valentines day." She let out a soft chuck

 _KIMBERLY_After our first visit to the hospital, the burden in my heart and mind was lighter. I went through the days happily and things were looking up for me.Having heard about the news, the teachers at the ballet school cheered me up and their support was endearing. Some gave me flowers while others stopped to check up on me regularly. Even my little ballerinas were so sweet to Lora that it somewhat restored some of my faith in humanity.Currently, I was at the school and I was impatient to go home. I had left Olivia and Ana decorating the house since Oliver was coming back today.It's been three days without him and I was glad that the doctors were comfortable enough to send him back to us. Things were coming together nicely and I should be over the moon.Well, I am but things were going too well. Nothing else came up and William didn't contact me at all. For someone who was determined to ruin my life, he was taking his time and

  _KIMBERLY_ "Are you sure that it's okay to leave?" Olivia asked for the umpteenth time that afternoon and Oliver put his hand on his waist as he stared at her strictly. "It's alright. I'm a grown man and I promise that I will do everything you've said." "But I want to make sure that you are okay, Oliver." "And I am."  "Are you sure? What if it starts to hurt and I'm not here?" "It won't. Kim and the others will take good care of me so, it won't have an opportunity to hurt." "Can't you see that I'm concerned?" She asked, her tone raising a bit. "Any Mom would be uncomfortable after her child gets this injured." "Mom-" "No, Oliver. We haven't even found out what really happened with your car. You can't just tell me to leave." "Don't behave like I'm chasing you away!" He yelled and Olivia looked at him in shock. She pursed her lips in frustration, making Oliver release a heavy sigh."I ju
