All Chapters of What's Love Without A Second Chance : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

After all Olive told me, I wanted to call Tasha and warn her to steer off Olive but then I did not want to give her the impression that she could still grab my attention with the petty games she played. I paced the room in annoyance wondering why she would say such ridiculous things to Olive. She may have acted like it did not bother her much but I knew my Olive, she was an overthinker and she easily took things to heart.My phone rang just then, jolting me out of my thoughts. It was Scarlett ."Mr Giovanni, so glad you finally picked my call.""Hello Scarlett . How have you been?""Great. You?""Fantastic. How about that interview? I've been waiting for your call.""Oh that," I said, recalling our earlier agreement."Yes sir.""When would you like it done?"There was a little bit of amusement in her tone when she said, "The ball is in your court Mr Giovanni, when would you be free enough to slot me in?""Is it a live interview?""No sir.""Alright, I'll be free the day after tomorro

Arya's birthday was around the corner and inasmuch as things had gotten awkward between us, I needed to remind Xander about it. I had been avoiding him after the unexpected kiss we shared and I was thankful he respected the boundaries I had placed between us. The only reason why we exchanged words now was because of Arya and nothing else. Did we talk about the kiss? Hell no we didn't. We in fact avoided that topic like a plague even though I thought about it every now and then."Hey." I said, entering his home office with Arya walking ahead of me."Hey." He responded, taking off his glasses. That was such a sexy sight.Focus Olive, I reminded myself."I wanted to talk to you about something." I started off, still standing in the doorway even though he had gestured for me to sit. I just wanted to breeze in and breeze out."What's up?" He asked."Arya's birthday is in three weeks." I announced."Whoa." He said, grabbing her and throwing her over his shoulder with a wide grin. "That's g

I had just dropped the call with Olive. Arya wanted to see my face and I just could not say no. When I checked the time, I saw that it was almost time for dinner with the Mayor.Letting out an exhausted sigh at the thought, I was almost regretting why I came on this trip in the first place. "You're sure you want to go for dinner with her?" Olive had asked me before our call ended."It's business. If I can't make her see reasons with me, I'll call in the big guns." I stated. "So basically, you're just letting her think she has the upper hand."I smiled wryly, "She knows she doesn't. I just want to hear what she has to say.""All the best."I replayed the conversation in my head on my way to the Mayor's house and had to bite back a smile. I needed to stop cheesing every time I thought of her."Mrs Roberts," I said, acknowledging her as the butler led me in with my security in tow."Welcome to my humble abode." She said with an overly wide grin.I looked around the room. There was noth

I let out a long and tired sigh as soon as I heard her bedroom door shut. Now I regretted speaking at all. I just messed up my chances with her. What's worse is that I hurt her feelings and made her relive an experience I wanted to put behind us. Shit!I took Arya from her nanny and tried to quiet her. She was not supposed to see her parents yelling at each other, even though Olive did most of the yelling.Just then I realized how much she had changed. Typically, Olive was on the receiving end of my bellowing and now it was the opposite. This realization slowly increased my doubts on pursuing a relationship with her. She was not the Olive I was used to. I needed to figure out if I was in love with the new Olive or just the idea of rekindling what we once shared. What if it was not the same? But then I knew what I felt whenever she was near. The sparks that flew whenever we touched was undeniable and that kiss we shared weeks back had not left my mind for a minute since the day it hap

"Olive?"I ignored him. "Olive??" Xander called out again and I still did not say anything."Come on,"From the corner of my eye, I saw him throw his hands up in frustration."You can't possibly still be mad at me over something so trivial?"Swiftly, I turned to him. "Trivial? You were trying to make my relationship with Malik look like it wasn't heading anywhere.""Well is it?" He countered."That's none of your business!" I snapped."Agreed. It's not. But I'm just looking out for you," Who did he even think he was? My dad?"I think you should worry about you and not me." I said, and walked away.I had calls to make. I needed to make sure all the decorations were fixed and ready by the end of the day for the outdoor party. "I'm not done talking to you." He stated, coming after me."Xander can you let me work? The party's tomorrow and there's still a lot to do." I said with an exasperated sigh."Fine then. Tell the chef that we're having an extra guest tonight." He said suddenly.I
