In the past few weeks, Oliver was in and out of the city following leads that were in line with his investigations. His private investigator had found something about the threats he used to receive. After looking through the street's surveillance, they realised a woman frequented the place Oliver had visited the day he met with an accident. After analysing the footage and using his tech team to make the picture clearer, Oliver was able to recognise Jessica’s face. He wasn’t surprised that she was somehow involved in sending those threats that threatened Claire’s life. Oliver had always suspected Jessica and her father for that matter. However, he was shocked to find out Adam Hart wasn’t involved in this one. Jessica was working with another person who remained a mystery and no matter how much he looked, Oliver couldn’t figure out who wanted Claire out of the way. This was why Oliver quietly went ahead with the wedding. His other team of investigators that were looking into Jason Ha

“That was… intense,” Oliver said as he drove Claire to his penthouse. They had just dropped off Katherine at Claire’s apartment and after Oliver chatted with Thalia for a while, they left to spend the night together. “Yes, it was. I never knew I was left by your family's side on purpose. My parents probably celebrated when we fell in love and started dating,” Claire remarked. She had forgiven her mother but it would take a while to forget. Oliver reached for Claire’s hand and squeezed it. He steered the car with one hand as he said in a gentle voice, “Hey, it’s all in the past. I don’t regret being your best friend or falling in love with you. Our love gave us a lovely daughter and both of you are my world. I'm actually glad you were by my side” Claire smiled, thinking she needed to apologise for deceiving him. She waited until they arrived at the penthouse. “Hungry? Do you want me to make you a snack?” Oliver asked immediately when they entered the penthouse. “Are you kidding me

“Choose the movie and I’ll make us some snacks,” Oliver suggested. They had just finished their shower which took longer than it was supposed to because they went for another round after showering and had to shower again when they were done. The second time they made love, Oliver pinned Claire against the glass door and entered her from behind. He loved watching her expression of pure pleasure through the reflection of her face on the glass doors. “Um, what would you like to watch?” Claire asked as she grabbed the remote. She was wearing one of Oliver’s t-shirts which was reaching her mid-thigh. The penthouse had a few new female clothes that Oliver had purchased for her in advance but he insisted she wear his shirt. Looking at her now, he thought she looked so sexy in his clothes. “I like everything you like, so choose what you want to watch,” he said and walked to the open kitchen. They had chosen to have their movie night in the living area even though the bedroom had a TV. Th

Claire's heart was galloping loudly against her ribcage. Was she dreaming?Butterflies went wild in her stomach when she realised she had just walked into her own wedding! Now she understood why she felt the wedding dress looked familiar. This was the dress she picked when Oliver was asking for her opinion. Looking around, everything starting from the accessories she wore to the wedding theme was the same as the things she picked in the magazine. Her eyes watered with tears when she met Oliver's eyes. He was waiting for her at the altar in a white jacket and black pants, his eyes never looking away from her. The aisle was decorated with floral arches and a champagne carpet was spread out for her, just the way she had imagined. A song by Christina Perri called A Thousand Years began to play and Thalia tagged at her hand. She looked up at her and urged, "Mommy, Daddy is waiting for you." Claire took in a shuddering breath. She was so overwhelmed with emotions that she didn't know h

After the newlyweds’ first dance, the MC announced that the dancefloor was open and invited the guests to join the couple on the dance floor. Quinn Edwards who had been minding Thalia remained alone at the table when Thalia was called to dance with her parents. “Need a dance partner?” A man’s voice reached her ears as she was watching how everyone was dancing on the dancefloor. Whipping her head in the direction of the voice, Quinn’s eyes widened slightly when she saw one of Oliver Ford’s friends, Jake Norton. He was her partner on the bridal team and they had danced together at the start of the reception.Shaking her head, she replied, “No thanks. I’m more of an observer than a dancer. I love watching people have fun.”Jake arched an eyebrow. He drew a chair out and took a seat next to Quinn before saying, “I had been wondering why you looked so familiar. But then I sent my mother some of the photos because she’s travelling and couldn’t attend the wedding. She’s the one who recogn
