ANDREWI fucked up.I shouldn't have spent so much time outside.All of these wouldn't have happened.I stood at the entrance as the car with Olivia, drove away.She must feel really bad but what could my mother have said to her that made her like that?I went back in to look for my mother.“So your new employee is the one you've been giving special treatment?” My mother's voice came to me as I entered the house.“I see you are now spending on her and even bringing her down to this place.”“Do you think that's wise, Andrew?”I took a step back. Mother was so quick with her hands. She could raise her hands and give me a hot slap if I wasn't cautious.“Mother, I already explained to you. This lady is not just an ordinary employee. I..............” I began but Mother interrupted as usual.“Yes, yes. I know. The one you helped and later began to admire. Fine but just so you know she might be another gold digger who just wants to force herself into the family. Remember what we had to fac

LIAM'S POV“That Stella girl just wants me to look like a fool in front of her friend.”“How dare she?” “Am I not the first person she ought to call?”What kind of game is she trying to play?“Hmmm.... trying to prove smart, uh?”“I would show her who I am!”I don't know what her plan is but I will find out.As I turned, I saw Olivia walk out of the ward.This is my chance to talk to her.“Stella, what is the meaning of this? How did you get yourself into an accident? You don't even like driving!” I said.“What exactly are you trying to do here 'cause I know all of this is just one of your theatrics!”“Please don't even raise your voice at me. I am not feeling well," she answered.I laughed.Stella was one tricky person.Even though I know that! This can't be genuine.I refuse to believe it.“So you're telling me you did get involved in an accident? Interesting, Stella but hear this, I'm not buying it!”She didn't respond.She lay on the bed, mute, pretending not to hear all I was sa

OLIVIA“He is not yours and he will never be yours!”“You are nothing but a gold digger!”Her eyes were blazing red as she shouted at me.I stood at that spot paralyzed like I wasn't only immobile but mute as well.I couldn't even defend myself.“Who is this angry woman standing in front of me and why is she raising her voice at me?” I thought to myself.She wouldn't stop attacking me. First, her intimidating tone then her overshadowing presence.Before I knew it, I felt her hands landing on my face.It was a hot slap!!It was as though my mouth began to utter words that I couldn't hear. Before I knew it, I jumped up from my bed, screaming.My hands and face was already soaked with sweat as I pant heavily.“Oh Gracious Mary! It was all a dream.”“What sort of nightmare is this?”Ever since the incident of Andrew and that young lady a weekend ago, I just couldn't seem to get my head off that scenario.Now it appears she has come to haunt me in my dreams.I couldn't sleep anymore. Luck

ELLIOT POVEverytime I think about it, it makes me angry.It's been 6 months now since we lost dad to cancer.We knew how severe it was and how much he had spent on keeping himself healthy but death did its part.I knew he was going to lose it at the end but we had to keep encouraging him. At least my mother did that part.I just wanted to take over and be the boss.I mean, that's every first son's aspiration; to take over his father's business and run the family.Little did I know, things won't spin in my favour.It was a shameful afternoon for me that day.The will was to be ready a week after father's death and burial.The Huxleys and family friends were gathered at Dad's penthouse as we await the lawyer to read out the will in front of everyone.The look on my face as I stood in anticipation as the lawyer was about to utter those words.I can bet even the lawyer was surprised at what he saw.Dad must have changed it without his knowledge but how is that even possible?“All proper

CHAPTER 20OLIVIA'S POV“Let not this day be a day of shame and disappointment for me, gracious God.”That ought to have been my prayer this very day before stepping out.What am I saying? Virtually, every day.But I failed at it already.The outcome was playing right to my face.I stood in shock as the whole thing played out.I could have sworn I wish I had superpowers.I would sink to the ground or just make myself invincible.The voice of Mrs Huxley overtook the office all of a sudden.I am at the mercy of virtually everyone here.“Why me?” I wondered. What did I do wrong?I was certain those files weren’t corrupted when I sent them.This day was going to be an unfortunate one for me.Mrs. Huxley wasn’t ready to hear anything.She raised her time at every instance she spoke a word.“She has to leave!”“She is nothing but a misfortune and she wants to ruin this company.”“They are all the same. Every one of them!”She won’t even let me speak.Andrew wasn’t smiling. His face was fro
