Chloe listened attentively, offering a comforting hand on Olivia's shoulder. She didn't try to fix things or provide easy answers. Instead, she let Olivia vent, giving her the space to release the pent-up emotions that had been consuming her."I can't believe they're making me marry someone I barely know," Olivia sobbed. "I feel like my life is slipping out of my control, I can’t even make this decision on my own, and the wedding is in two days, Chloe, and I don’t know who this man is---“ Her voice was hoarse and a knot rose in her throat.“If he paid your parents debt, that means you must have known him from somewhere, or didn’t you---““You know everyone I know Chloe, the only man I know is Lawrence, and perhaps, a few admirals who has lost contact with me after I left for Hawaii, who would it have been…” She sniffled.Chloe thought for a while and then she blinked as she looked at Olivia. “Olivia, what if it’s that crazy man from before?” She asked and Olivia blinked as she looked

Olivia took a deep breath and turned her cell phone off as she turned her gaze back to Chloe who was surprised because the Olivia she knew would never shut Lawrence off. “Are you okay?” Chloe asked, concern evident in her eyes. Olivia shook her head, her sincerity showing as she slowly lowered her gaze. “Honestly, I am not,” she admitted, her voice heavy with sorrow. “I still think of Lawrence. He is my best friend and a man I have crushed on for almost my entire life. There's no way I wouldn't cry and beg him to make me his girlfriend instead of Angel. But what use is it when I'll be getting married in two days?" Her words carried a sense of resignation and pain in her heart. Chloe slowly took her hand and squeezed it gently trying to offer comfort. “I am sad that you are going through all of these, if only things were better, I would have asked you to escape with me,” she said, attempting to lighten the mood. Olivia chuckle. “Oh, my boyfriend, you are the only one that I love…” O

Asher walked over to her, a thin smile spread through his lips as he approached her, his leg covered in black trouser.“Why are you here?” Olivia quickly asked, he was the last person she thought she would see again, their deal was over, there was no deal to start with, she helped him and that was it, she didn’t need his favor anymore.He tilt his head when he saw the look on her face, it didn’t look like things were going on well for her. “You don’t look so bright, did you fail in your mission of convincing your parents about the marriage?” He raised the corner of his brows, already knowing the answer to his question since no one has called him with a change of plan.Olivia drew a sharp breath and looked away from his eyes. “Well, it didn’t work out, I think I am still stuck.” She exhaled sharply and then looked at him. “I am sure yours is working out…”“Yeah,,, you can say that.” He grinned as he looked at her. If only you know who that is with.“I am so happy for you,” She smiled.

You are sitting in the same car with him. He smirked, but his lips parted softly. “My men are working towards finding him out…”“And how are they working on it?” She quickly asked wanting more details, one thing she didn’t want was him also lying to her.Asher glanced at her, no one has ever questioned him, and he wished to act the same way he do to other with her, but he still knew he has to wait until after the wedding to show her who he really was.“Well, I noticed some CCTV camera around your home, my men are going to get it and trace the video of the last people who has v

He glanced at her arm that was linked to his, apart from Jane, he has never linked arms with any other lady, and the mere feeling of having her touch him was weird.He pulled his arm from hers. "We probably shouldn't---" Before he could finish, she linked arms with him again. "We should, they are watching and I don't want to be discovered today, we better finish up quickly and leave, I hate being watched like this by numerous guards, I don't think I can breathe." She glanced over her shoulder and Asher noticed her unease."Should I send them all away?" He asked, looking at her again."Can you?" She quickly asked but just immediately she shook her head. "You probably shouldn't, let's just finish whatever business we have to do here and get out." She told him.Asher glanced at their link arms again and sighed. I guess I will have to endure this. He thought to himself before leading the way.They both walked along the polished walkway, where elegant sculptures and sleek benches lined th
