Divorce

Olivia's POV I felt a mix of excitement as I pulled open the door to the mansion, holding the brown envelope containing the results in my hands. “Honey, I’m…” I trailed off, my gaze meeting his angry expression, etched with frustration. “What’s the issue?” I inquired, the envelope slipping from my hand and landing on the couch as I walked up to him, placing my hands on his shoulders. “Take those filthy hands off me,” he barked, taking my hands forcefully off his shoulders. I winced in pain, clutching my wrist. “What have I done?” I asked, perplexed. I had just left the house to go to the hospital and confirm if I was truly pregnant. We shared a happy, beautiful moment together before I left. So why the sudden change? It was unlike him. “I want a divorce,” he snapped. His words making my feet to tremble, and I paused to regain my composure, taking a deep breath. “What did you say?” I asked, not sure if I had heard him correctly, those words weren't adding up. “Are you d

What a Resemblance!

FOUR YEARS AFTERLiam's POV“Son, come over. We are already seated,” Mum called out as soon as I opened the door.A slight grin formed on my face as I walked over to the dining room where they were seated. I greeted everyone before taking my seat next to Dad.Dad groaned, clearing his throat, and I flinched, already knowing what he wanted to say each time he made that sound.“Liam, when are you going to marry again? It's been four years since you divorced Olivia, and yet you've refused to remarry. Do you know the consequences of your negligence?” he spewed, and I almost repeated his words verbatim. He had said this over a thousand times since Olivia left.“Honey, just let him be. He's just arrived and hasn't even touched his food,” Mum said, feeling concerned.My gaze shifted to Dominic. I knew he was going to say something, and as usual, he didn’t disappoint.“Mum, let Dad speak. I just don’t like how he chooses to be one-sided. Am I not also his son? If Liam has refused to remarry,

Her Success

Olivia's POV“Sweetie, what kept you so long in the washroom?” I asked, a bit worried that he had spent so much time inside. I had wanted to walk in when I had the sudden restraint to, and besides, I had to make sure Becky brought out all the luggage from the lot.“Mum, I’m sorry I took so long in there. I met a man who looked just like me,” he snapped, and I flinched. I hadn’t raised him to talk to strangers.“Why would you engage in a conversation with him? Haven’t I told you not to speak to strangers?” I asked, and he frowned.“Mum, I’m sorry,” he muttered.I crouched to his level, cupping his face in my hands. “Mum isn’t angry with you, alright? But Mum wants you to be safe at all times. Remember, you won’t talk to strangers again, alright?” I said, and he nodded.“Now smile for Mummy,” I teased, a playful glint in my eye, and he giggled.“But Mum, you said my real dad was in New York. What if he was my dad?” he asserted, and I shuddered.“Uncle James will be your dad soon, alrigh

His Regret

Liam's POVI wasn't sure she was the one. We had arrived a few minutes after the opening ceremony, and I was stunned when I saw her from behind.When she turned, something tugged at my heart. Gosh, she looked completely different—almost unrecognizable from the Olivia I knew four years ago. Her skin was lighter, her brows perfectly shaped, and her figure was stunning. But what was she doing at such a grand event? Or did she come with someone?"And who are you?" she asked, jolting me out of my thoughts. Did she not recognize me, or was she just pretending?"It's me, Liam. Are you pretending not to know me?" I asked, a bit perplexed as she looked me over from head to toe. My heart sank. I scanned myself quickly, trying to figure out if something was off about my appearance after a rough day."I don't know you, and please, don't ever stand in my way again," she snapped, turning to leave. I instinctively grabbed her hand, feeling utterly broken by her reaction."I'm so sorry for everything

5: "Olivia Peters"

I walked up to the conference room where the scheduled meeting was supposed to take place, my heart longing to discover more about this child. Every bit of my being felt on edge, I felt restless in my spirit. Something kept pulling at me from the inside, the connection between Olivia and Jumia; the little boy had just met. Just when I couldn't hold on any longer, I announced the adjournment of the meeting and requested the presence of the principal in her office. “Sir, you called for me. What can…” she trailed off as I raised my hand to stop her. “I need the report and information on a certain child named Jumia, probably in kindergarten.” “Oh! That. You mean Jumia Peters, sir?” she inquired, a grin spreading across her face as she bent to open the computer on the table. “What’s that for?” I asked, feeling slightly awkward at her sudden grin. “He’s such a smart child and was just registered yesterday.” “Yesterday?” I cut in, almost stunned that Peters’ suspicions were actually t

6: "Uncle Nice"

I was just sitting in the meeting and getting acquainted with the new staff feeling elated to be with them when suddenly I got a call from an unsaved contact. I ignored the call, and moments later, I was done and heading to my car. Today was another day off work for me, but the Joy of acquaintance never dissipated.I knew Jumia should be out of school by now and would be patiently waiting for me. Just as I was about to start the engine, I got the same call again. I ignored it once more, the joy I felt replaced with bitterness. However, this time, the caller called back immediately, and I shrugged before answering. My instincts already told me it was Liam calling. I knew too well that after yesterday's confrontation at the grand opening, he would try to get my number and call. He appeared desperate.“Hello, don’t call me again. I don’t….”“This is the police. Your driver just had an accident. From the report, he was badly injured and has been taken to the hospital,” the voice asserted

7: The Dinner: Unexpected encounter

The tables were set, and I made sure everything was arranged as expected while we awaited his arrival.Jumia seemed more excited as he glanced at his little wristwatch at intervals. I shot him a playful stare and continued with what I was doing while he sat in the living room, waiting for his guest.Shortly after, I heard a car horn at the entrance and suspected that his guest had arrived. His “Uncle Nice” had finally arrived. I assigned the remaining duties to the maid and hurried upstairs to change into something more decent and casual. I didn't want to appear undressed or unkempt before this fellow. I anticipated he was as nice as Jumia praised, even though I felt a little restrained about the whole issue. “Just a thank you for being nice to my son out there when he was in danger, wouldn't be a bad step” I assured myself, walking up the stairs. I wanted Jumia to be proud, as always, to have a classy mum by his side.Once in the bedroom, I quickly changed into a red crop top and a

8: His Intention

Liam's POVI felt like a little child, terrified by a scary movie, when my gaze met hers. I never expected that the Olivia I knew was the same Olivia Peters who had borne him.At first, upon discovering the truth, I thought it was merely a coincidence because she was known as Smith. But today's encounter proved me wrong, it wasn’t just a coincidence; it was reality. She is the same as Jumia's mother, a reality that struck me real hard.It hurt to realize that I had come with a different motive, and now she was calling me a liar. I had arrived despite all doubts, just to see this little kid I was so fond of. I thought that honoring his request to see me would make him happy and also give me the opportunity to meet the lovely woman who had given birth to such a smart, adorable child; only to find out that it was her.I stormed out of the house, devastated that she had sent me away without even waiting to hear my side of the story. Instead, she went as far as denying that I wasn’t the fa

9: Where's Jumia?

Olivia's POV A rush of excitement swept through my heart, a slight chuckle lingering on my lips throughout the ride as we drove in the direction of his school.It was my first time coming on my own after the accident, and I felt I should arrive a little earlier this time. Jumia was my joy and deserved every bit of care, affection, and protection I could offer. He would be pleased to have me pick him up alongside his uncle James, who had offered to come with me since he hadn't set eyes on Jumia in a long while. I could already picture the glint in his tender little face; that glint that made all the hard work worthwhile.I was pleased with James' offer, but even more so with the realization that soon, we would become one big happy family: James, Jumia, and me. I pictured the exciting moments we would share and the joy of being loved, a feeling I had cherished ever since I met James four years ago at the airport.My gaze momentarily darted towards James, who was carefully focused on t

10: Is He The One?

Liam coming out with my son, Jumia, holding what looks like candy in his hands? Liam’s hands are on Jumia’s hair?My rage increased instantly, my eyebrows raising in annoyance at the scene before me. They had practically been together for heaven knows how long. The smile on Jumia’s face said it all, and the visible chuckles on Liam’s face brought so much pain to my heart. Jumia must have been so acquainted with him and free around him to display such visible affection.No! Not a chance.I moved toward them instantly, and those small, elated grey eyes suddenly turned cold upon seeing me. The chuckles vanished, and the joy once displayed froze.“You!” I barked. “What are you doing with my son?” I asked, quickly pulling Jumia over to my side.My gaze darkened as it fixed on him. The sting of the pain that had just lifted resurfaced in my heart, intensifying my anger.“Can you ever forgive me?” he spoke up, his gaze pleading and his voice filled with emotions I had never seen in him befor
