Olivia’s POV We stood there in each other’s arms, as the rain continued to pour and drench us, but we didn’t care. All we were interested in was looking into each other’s eyes and slow dancing in the rain like we were the only two people in the whole wide world. Soon, the rain became heavier accompanied by lightning, signaling that a storm was brewing and Joshua tilted my head up. “It’s time to get out of this rain, Princess.” “But, it’s so romantic here,” I replied as my lips pouted sadly. Joshua caressed my wet lips with his thumb before lowering his face to kiss me, softly and deeply at the same time, sucking me into another world. Then, he pulled apart from me and tucked my soaked hair behind my ear. “I know, my love. But, you’re soaking wet and the rain is getting heavier. I’d hate for you to get sick,” Joshua said softly as he stroked my cheek with the back of his palm. Nodding in agreement despite wanting to stay in that position forever, I pulled apart from our hug to wa

Olivia’s POV There was nothing good about the morning when I woke up a couple of hours later to find my bed still empty. My pillows and duvet still smelled like Joshua but the actual human being was nowhere to be seen. Even though I knew that there was no need to panic, my heart still clenched in worry. It would have been different if he had disappeared or walked away after a fight, but we had just had a mind-blowing night of love-making after we both professed our love for each other and the idea of becoming each other’s better halves. It didn’t make any sense to leave unless he wanted to, but that was not who Joshua was since the last thing he would ever want was for me to get up and see that he was not beside me. There must be another explanation. Sitting up on my bed, I reached out to my side table and grabbed my phone. Once again, there was no missed call or unread text from Joshua, in fact, based on what I could see, the last time he had been online was at 11 pm, which was a

Olivia’s POV My eyes scanned the arrivals board for the flight number listed on my phone and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that it had arrived. Smiling to myself in anticipation, I made my way to the arrivals gate and started peeking past the doors to spot the familiar face. Thankfully, I didn’t have to wait for long, and soon, my name echoed through the hall. “Olivia!” “Adrina!” I shouted back as I watched her run towards me. Before I knew it, she had her arms around me, hugging me tightly and washing me over with a sense of comfort. My eyes teared at their own will and a sob built up in my throat at how she was making me feel and had always made me feel. Tilting my face up, I quickly wiped away my tears and curved my lips into a huge smile. “I’ve missed you, O! How have you been?” she asked as she cupped my face in her hands. A small chuckle escaped my lips and I exhaled. “I missed you too, babe. I’m fine, like always.” “Are you sure? There’s something different about

Olivia’s POV My knee bounced nervously under the table as Ms. Priya read through my rejection letter. Her forehead furrowed as her eyes scanned the contents of my letter. Technically, there was no need for a letter in the first place, since I had just finished my internship period and was waiting for the offer letter from Firebrand Marketing Incorporated. But, since Ms. Priya had kindly offered me a permanent position based on her word of mouth, I knew she deserved a proper letter stating that I wouldn’t be able to accept her offer. “Where did this come from, Olivia? I thought that you were looking forward to working with us?” she asked as she placed the letter on her table. Shit, she’s mad. Nodding gently, I sighed. “I was, Ms. Priya. This is my dream job and I’m grateful that you offered it to me. But, my circumstances have changed.” “Changed how?” she questioned, arching her eyebrow at me inquisitively. Standing up, I pulled back the loose shirt I was wearing until my baby bu

Olivia’s POV My eyes teared as I watched my big brother get down on one knee to propose to the love of his life. The happy couple’s close friends and family hid behind some bushes as we observed them enjoying their moment in the sunset. It still felt unreal that Luke was officially engaged to become someone’s husband and I would have been lying if I said that I wasn’t a tad jealous. Still, I had my Little Bean and I was satisfied. The news that I was pregnant received mixed reviews from my parents. Just as Luke said, at first they were disappointed in my decisions that led me to that point, but a little later, they were super supportive. All of them wanted to know who the baby’s father was, but just like in the version of my story that I told Luke, I hid his identity and insisted that they don’t bring him up again. Assuring them that I was happy with the way things were, I forced out a big smile to hide my pain and thankfully they bought i
