OliviaFor a minute, time stopped, everything stopped. I wasn't breathing, just staring, waiting to see who had been shot. In my heart, I hoped that Asher had shot the kidnapper."Asher?" I called him when he didn't move.Both of them just stood, still pointing guns at each other."Asher?" Someone else called Asher from a far distance."Asher? Olivia?" When I listened closely, I realized it was Sebastian.Seb?How did he find us?"Sebastian?!" Asher called out, not taking his eyes off the kidnapper.Sebastian's figure walked into the light.Once he saw the situation that Asher and I were in, he stopped on his tracks, startled.Asher and the kidnapper kept their gaze on each other."Asher?" Sebastian called slowly." Get Olivia." Asher instructed Sebastian but the kidnapper stopped him even before he moved."Don't even think of it. I promise; your friend would be swimming in a pool of his own blood if you moved even an inch." The kidnapper said to Sebastian.He sounded dead serious a

AsherOlivia had done nothing but look around since we arrived.How had I not brought her to Hawaii a long time ago?Even if I was never going to say it, I was grateful to Sebastian for suggesting this.We arrived late but just in time for the Luau festival.While Olivia's travel documents were still being prepared, I looked through the activities taking place in Hawaii and thankfully the Luau festival was one of it.I had always wanted to attend the festival but my mother never gave her consent. I was twelve years old the last time she brought Anna and I to Hawaii. I had made up my mind today visit Hawaii when I was older but I had too many responsibilities to shoulder, alone.It was a new feeling, knowing that I was actualizing my dream, with Olivia. It was weird that I was happy to be with someone, even if it was only a contract and it was just temporary.But I loved it, and I was going to live in the moment.We were booked a room in no time. We took a little nap before preparing f

OliviaI was under intense pressure being watched by Asher.I damn well knew he was watching me but I didn't dare look up at him.I would only get lost, staring into his jade orbs.I had to bring up a discussion on Seb's job but it did nothing to help the situation.I was hoping that he would treat me indifferently.I needed him too.The fact that we've suddenly become close, in a weird but nice way was disturbing.I didn't even get nervous sharing a room with him. Instead, it felt as though it was perfectly normal.I wanted to stop thinking about this man but the more I tried, the harder it got.His jade orbs illuminated my world, showing up in my dreams without permission.I dreaded being close to him, my body was helpless when I was.Everything about him intrigued me.I longed to run my fingers through his blonde hair, I wanted to trail my fingers down his perfect abs.He was perfection and I desired a taste.I hated that I no longer regarded him as the man that had brought me out

AsherAll through our drive back home, I felt really uncomfortable.Sebastian was a really jovial person and it was difficult for anything or anyone to change that.But the fact that his mood was this way, then whatever had happened must have been really serious.I kept thinking, hard. I tried to see if I could get a good guess about whatever Sebastian had found out and how it was related to the date Olivia had found on that document.Did Sebastian find out it was a birth certificate?I thought so hard, my migraine returned but this time, in the worst way possible."Argh!" I groaned, holding my head in pain as a big wave of migraine hit me hard.The last time I felt such intense migraine was when my mother had threatened to take down my businesses if I dared to not become CEO of the family company."Hey, are you okay?" Olivia shifted closer to me, rubbing my back as she touched my head."Anything going on back there?" I heard Sebastian's voice from the front.For some reason, it sound

AsherI felt something warm and wet on my forehead.It was soothing but I took it off.The moment I did, I felt a loud bang in my head~my migraine.I opened my eyes slowly, careful enough not to worsen it.Once my eyes were completely open, I took notice of my environment."What?" I muttered to myself, realizing that I was in the guest room where Sebastian occupied.Doing my best to ignore the throbbing pain in my head, I sat up.I looked to my right and noticed Olivia was by my side.From the looks of it, she looked like she had been by my side for a long time.How long though?I reached out to touch her. As my hand graced hers, I felt something wet and sticky.When I checked, it was blood.What?!What happened to her?As I stared at the crimson liquid on her hand, memories surfaced.Memories of everything that happened after we got back from Hawaii.As those memories came back, tears burned my eyes but I was determined not to cry.I wasn't going to cry because of them.If I cried li
