Chapter: Chapter Six Damian's eyes widened as realization crashed into him in waves that would have sent him reeling, but he stood still, firmly rooted to the ground, and flabbergasted. Olivia, his ex wife, was actually the next heir to the powerful Arthur's group. She was the hidden gem that worked in secret alongside her uncle. A ripple of surprise went through him as he assessed her, from head to toe. Ethereal was nothing compared to how she looked, he could not help but notice that she had undergone a series of changes in the interval of a few days. The fact that all these were happening after the divorce was unbecoming. Her beauty which was once dim like a candle flickering under the influence of a coverage, now radiated with a newfound confidence and poise. In place of the soft, warm and gentle glow that her eyes eluded in the past, were a pair of glassy eyes that oozed a fierce intensity, as if illuminated by an inner light, something keen to getting back at those who humiliated

Chapter: Chapter Five Darian arrived at the party and blended in with the crowd. He was acknowledged by a few business elites who knew his father and brother and that was it. He hated it, hated that he was always in their shadow. But at the moment, it did not deter him, since his main goal was to meet with the famous Ivan Arthur who was the most influential businessman at the moment, throwing his asshole of a brother of the position without even lifting a finger. Darian was impressed, he slipped a glass of wine past a waiter who walked past him and waited tensely when he saw Arthur approach his table. "Hello to you there," Mr Ivan waved at Darian who was still scrutinizing him. Darian suddenly lost the ability to speak as Ivan smiled crinkly at him. The most influential business magnate cared to acknowledge him. It was too good to be true. "Hello," Darian said inspite the giddy feeling that raked through him. On second thoughts, he put his hand forward for a handshake. "It's an honor to finally meet y

Chapter: Chapter FourNEXT MORNING•••Damien's eyes roamed to the cabinet built into the marble wall where Olivia's scrubs and toiletries always stood and the emptiness made something in him churn. He was suddenly pissed, remembering how she left with his brother of all persons. He continued staring at his reflection on the large mirror and the look of anger slowly morphed into irritation at himself. He was Damian Brown, a business man, owner of diverse companies and a Billionaire. It was dumb to get angry over people who weren't worth it. Besides, he was irresistible and it was easy to get any woman of his choice at the raise of a finger. Someone like Olivia held no value to him and that was it. Turning away from the bathroom, he walked back into the room. He picked up his phone and dialed the Chief Operating Officer. After passing the necessary information, he hung up, his gaze lingering on his phone. He stared at Olivia's contact boldy sprawled on his phone, and her endless texts. They were texts tha

Chapter: Chapter Three In less than an hour, they were at the largest estate that Olivia had ever set eyes on. To her, Damian had the best buildings and infrastructure for a home, but her uncle's estate eliminated that thought and she wondered at how massive his fortune was. The mansion reminded her of a palace with maidservants and knights, except this time, the knights are neatly dressed in suits and have earpieces plugged in their ears. They all bowed slightly as she and her Uncle made their way. "Welcome to my humble abode, Olivia. I hope you like it here." Ivan stretched his hand to her and she held it as he led her further into the grande hallway that led to an open space.The maids bowed and she flushed by the level of respect accorded. Surely, she was going to enjoy her stay at the estate but she couldn't help wondering what suddenly prompted her Uncle to show concern after all these years.He was her father's elder brother but never really acted as family. Having established himself as a wor

Chapter: Chapter Two "I'm done with this, with you. You got what you wanted, and I got mine." "In other words, you were used," Laurie shrugged, sending a sympathetic look down Olivia's path. Olivia stood frozen on the spot, her mouth an inch away from hanging open. "The heirloom's mine and there is no use for you anymore. You're as good as useless in this house, so... Just go." Damian sighed as though exhausted after working nonstop. It felt like time stopped the instant Damian blurted those last words out. She felt a wave of acid welling up from her belly and her chest suddenly grew tight that it became so hard to breathe. Without waiting to hear more venom escape his lips, she turned to the nearest exit- the one leading to their bedroom, and disappeared. Once in, she flung herself on the bed and wept her heart out. After sobbing for what seemed like hours, Olivia got up and washed her face. She changed her dress and walked back to the study. He was going through some work related papers while L

Chapter: The Beginning of the EndCHAPTER ONE Olivia Davidson stared at the content of the shopping cart and her brown eyes roamed back to the array of shampoo well laid out on the fancy shelf. Ignoring the exorbitant price boldy inked on the price tag, she placed a pair of the shampoo in her cart and rolled it forward, ever slowly to the smart looking attendant that sat behind the counter. "Total amount is $5000. Would you like to pay in card or cash?" Asked the attendant, in a high pitched voice after punching on a mechanical calculator for a few seconds. "Card please," Olivia mumbled, tucking a piece of her honey colored hair behind her ears and staring down at the groceries she had shopped. She hoped that she had not forgotten anything since that would mean coming down to the shopping mall again. "And Oh... How Damian hates it when I'm forgetful," She thought with a grimace. "Can I have your card?" Olivia snapped out of her thought instantly and slipped the card out of her bag "I'm sorry, here it is." Th
