I smiled at him like nothing happened. Wait! Did something actually happen? I don't think so though."You didn't tell me you were coming around. Did you come to surprise me?" Those were the craps he told me the other time, so it wouldn't hurt to tell him the same thing, yeah?"So you would've stayed back at home and not hang out with someone if I told you I was coming, yeah?" He scoffed angrily, and I pulled a puzzled look. Why the fuck was he acting like a loving boyfriend jealous of his girlfriend hanging out with another man? Does that make sense coming from a man who doesn't give a shit about me?"I would've still gone out if you told me you were coming. At least that would've saved you the stress of coming over if you had known that I was not around," I shrugged. I couldn't hide my sarcasms because I w
Chapter 14Olivia Cruz POVIt was finally the dinner date party Knox told me about, and here I was, all alone and staring at nothing. It couldn't have been just the employees that were so much. I guess other people were invited too. I wouldn't have been alone here if only Claire didn't refuse to come with me.'Why should I go with you? You are the one who will be working there' Came her reply after I pleaded with her for almost the whole night. She's mean, don't you think so?"Ms. Cruz... You are here. This way," Mr. Jack, the manager finally came to get me from the place I was seated, and I followed him without questioning him about where he was taking me."Have you been waiting for long?""Not really," Although I only waited for a couple of minutes, it felt like forever."Mr. Knoxville is with the other employees. We've all been waiting for you," It was then I realized that the people who were drinking earlier were not employees and might just be guests."I thought those people over
Chapter 13Olivia Cruz POV'I'm thinking we should go for the transplant first, and after that, we'll get married, have our honeymoon, and I'll take care of you. What do you think about that?' Those were the same words he said to me then and I didn't think twice about it before I accepted. I didn't think about the possibility of being betrayed by him because I trusted him so much and believed he could never do that to me. Well, it's all in the past now, and no way I would make the same mistake again."Babe, you're not saying anything?" He held my hand and kissed the back of my palm knowing it was going to give me chills. It always felt like I was going to lose my mind whenever he did this to me then, but fuck all those feelings! All I felt now was disgust."I thought you were still going to say something," "No, you should say something. I'm done talking," "I have my own arrangements, babe. Do you want to hear them?" I looked him in the eyes, and I didn't fail to notice the shock in
Chapter 12Olivia Cruz POV'It was a robbery. Were there missing items?' The police had asked us after reported what happened to them. I contacted Claire who had gone to work where she works as a junior lawyer, and after that, I called over the police for investigation. Though they concluded it was a robbery act after thorough investigation, it was still weird considering that nothing was stolen from us. Someone must've broken into our house to vandalize our properties knowing that we were away, but it didn't make sense because I didn't remember being at loggerheads with anyone. If only the street CCTV cameras were working, then we wouldn't have been on a guessing game.I had to text Dante that I wouldn't be able to make it, so we rescheduled till tomorrow."Ollie... I'm scared... What if this was not robbery?" Claire whispered as we lay on the bed in the middle of the night, and I turned to her."I can't sleep. I'm worried about someone breaking into our house again. Do you think we
Chapter 11Olivia Cruz POV"Knoxville?" I called surprisingly, looking at the man standing in front of me. It had been so many years since we last met. He was still as handsome as then. His brown eyes were still charming, and his cute eyebrows which were my favorite part of his body were still so cute. I guess the reason I could not recognize him earlier was his beard, the little difference in his stature, and of course, his voice that had grown even deeper. The last time I saw him which was on our graduation day, he had no beards."Olivia... It's really you!" He had this excitement on his face as he covered his mouth in awe. That was the reaction anyone would get from seeing someone for the first time in years."Wow! It's been ages. It's nice to meet you again. Come on, come have a seat," He left his seat and came to pull out a chair for me to sit on. He had still not changed. Knoxville Donaldson was my classmate and deskmate back in college. We were quite close, so you could call u
Chapter 10 Olivia Cruz POV 'Congratulations, Ms. Olivia Cruz. We are thrilled to inform you that you passed the final interview and you are thereby hired as the next 'face of Ville's beauty cream. Please endeavour to show up at the company in two hours and discuss your schedule as there'll be a launching of new products soon and you would be needed, and also your salary' I was confused, reading through the email I just got for the fifth time because I didn't remember when I applied to work there as a model. "You look stunned, young lady. Are you good?" I had no idea when Claire walked inside, so I flinched when I heard her voice out of the blue moon. "You scared me," I glared at her, but she snatched my phone from me and rolled her eyes. "What were you so engrossed in that you didn't even notice I came inside the room? Did your boyfriend send you a love..." she paused and gasped after she read through the email. She looked at me with her eyes narrowed in shock as if to confi
Chapter 9Emily Wellington POVAfter being stuck in traffic for almost forever, I finally made it to the hospital.Dante's call came in just when I was about to check myself out in the mini mirror I took with me, so I went for the phone first."Hey, Emily. Where are you?" His deep voice sounded from the other end."I just got to the hospital. About to go inside,""You didn't tell me you were going to the hospital," He sounded surprised, but I just rolled my eyes."I didn't want to bother you. I was worried Mom would be hungry, so I made something to come give her. You told me you had a meeting earlier. Are you done now?""Yes, I just rounded it up. I'm heading back to the office now. Do you want me to come over to the hospital?" "No, don't worry about that. I want to spend some time with Mom today. I'll call you when I'm about to leave. See you later," I ended the call before he could say anything else, and dropped my phone inside my handbag. "Ugh! This is frustrating," Messing my b
Chapter 8Dante Russel POV"Does this make any sense to you, Dante? You two are going to get married? Are you kidding me?" Emily rambled on, and I exhaled deeply."Do you think I want this for myself? Do you think I really want to marry her---""Then don't! That is enough reason for you not to marry her, Dante. First, you two started dating against my wish, and now marriage? That's not done anywhere," The pain in Emily's eyes as she sta beside me on the couch really broke my heart, but sadly, I didn't have a choice. "Emily..." I held her hand and squeezed them gently. "Look at me," I cupped her cheek in my palm and gazed into her pair of charming and gorgeous eyes."I know this is hard for you, but can you please give me some time to sort this whole thing out? I promise this is not going to be long," I hated the fact that I was hurting her with my actions, but this was something I really needed to do. If I could find an alternative, I would've done that without having to get into a f
Chapter 7Olivia Cruz POVScheming something perfect over the week was crazy, but glad that I was finally able to come up with the best way to get revenge for myself and the child I lost to this heartless man.It was a beautiful Saturday morning. The day I decided to pay Dante a surprise visit."What's up with the make-up? Are you going out?" Claire walked in on me getting dressed, so she sat on the bed and looked at me."A date with your boyfriend?" She smiled at me, but I just rolled my eyes and shook my head."I'm going over to Dante's house," She gasped sharply and covered her mouth."You guys started dating barely one month and he is already inviting you over? Is there something you are hiding from me, my darling friend?" She came to stand behind me, and I smirked."I didn't say he invited me over. I'm going to pay him a surprise visit," I shrugged, and her eyes narrowed.I turned to her and raised my eyebrows, "Is there anything wrong with paying my boyfriend a surprise visit?"
