All Chapters of Caught Between Two Billionaires : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“Can I ask you something?” Olivia started as Rob helped her clear the table. “What’s that?” Rob asked, suspicious. “You have to promise to be completely honest.” Olivia urged. “I think I can do that.” Rob agreed, curious to know what she wanted to ask. Olivia let the suspense loom between them until they finished clearing the table and were seated alone in the kitchen. The housekeeper had gone to bed early, so it was unlikely that anyone would overhear them. Standing on opposite sides of the kitchen island helped Olivia get a clear view of Rob. She would be able to watch his reaction very carefully. “What is Desmond’s connection with Gerald Gilbert?” She asked directly. Rob flinched, startled. He was stunned for several minutes before regaining composure. “Why are you asking me this? Have you asked Desmond?” Olivia wanted to, but she had a hunch that he would smoothly deny it. “No, I have not.” She admitted. “Then don’t as

Olivia walked through the gardens, admiring the flowers. Spring would soon come to an end, so the flowers would stop blooming in a few weeks. The dandelions were her favorite. Sebastian knew this, so he had them planted vastly across the gardens. She bent to pluck a small hibiscus, groaning as she did. The pressure on her feet constantly made her exhausted. “You never listen, do you?” Sebastian spoke, walking towards her. He had probably come home early and could not find her inside the house. He knew there was only one other place she could be. “It’s a purple hibiscus, I just had to get a better look.” Olivia spoke, smiling. “You could have called a maid to get it for you.” Sebastian said, putting an arm around her shoulders. “You alone would suggest I call a maid for something as simple as plucking a flower.” Olivia laughed, holding onto her husband. “I only want the best for you and the baby.” Sebastian spoke, rubbing Olivia’s huge baby bump.

Olivia walked through the hospital halls, feeling more broken than she had ever felt before. Dr. Carlson’s words rang in her head as she made her way towards her daughter’s hospital room. “Laurel has two weeks left to live.” Olivia, upon hearing that damning declaration, had begged the doctor to save her daughter, telling him just how much she loved her little girl. She was certain that something could be done to reverse Laurel’s fate, especially since she had prayed endlessly and tirelessly for her daughter’s recovery. Apparently all her prayers had gone unanswered, and indeed, her daughter would not survive the cancer. The doctor made it clear that the little girl’s fate was sealed. Olivia could not bear it, she was absolutely devastated. It was unfair, Laurel was just a five year old child! She had barely even lived! When Laurel was born, Olivia was overjoyed. She finally had someone who shared the same blood and DNA as her, she would never be alone again. She fi

Olivia was in awe of how quickly Sebastian was able to reconnect with Laurel. His bond with their daughter was second to none. He doted on her, spoke to her about topics that would interest a little girl and in return, she quickly became attached to him. It was almost like she forgot how he had ignored her for most of her life. Olivia marveled at how innocent and forgiving children could be. Olivia watched as father and daughter tried and failed miserably at knitting hats. It was quite entertaining. “Mummy.” Laurel suddenly called, taking Olivia’s attention away from the television. “Yes Laurel?” Olivia answered. “When is Mr. Desmond coming home?” Laurel asked. Olivia immediately tensed. She had not mentioned Desmond even once since Sebastian arrived and she was glad that he had not asked about Desmond either. She was not looking forward to explaining what happened between her and Desmond to anyone, and certainly not to Sebastian. Sebastia

Olivia stood at the reception, waiting for Rob. He had called to inform her that he was coming to visit Laurel and she was very excited to welcome him. “Rob!” Olivia called, rushing into his arms excitedly. “Hello Liv.” Rob spoke, saying her from side to side, fondly. “Where have you been?” Olivia asked as he finally let go of her. “Laurel and I have been so lonely.” She spoke, playfully hitting his arm. “I didn’t know you left Desmond’s house. You did not inform me.” Rob scolded. Olivia sighed. “It all happened so fast.” She spoke as she led Rob, by the hand, towards Laurel’s room. “When you begged me to tell you the truth about Desmond’s past, you forgot to mention that you were going to pack up and leave immediately after.” Rob spoke sternly. Olivia sighed. “I am sorry Rob.” She spoke. “It all happened so fast. And you cannot possibly expect me to stay with a man who came into my life full of lies and deceit!” Rob stopped in his
