Chapter Seventy-twoThe DiscoveryOliviaIt had been a week since he left, he never came back to the company after that day, and it had been difficult beating the guilt that I was responsible for that, but what was more difficult was dealing with the kids and their troubles.Mia and Ava had made my life miserable and a hell since their dad left, they were always quick to speak and insult me no matter what I do.I didn’t even have the gut to speak back or I would be reduced to nothing. I was already the liar, witch, and the one who destroyed their family, I didn’t want to be given more names so I just kept quiet whenever they start their troubles.I sighed and resumed to the food I was cooking, knowing fully well that the kids won’t eat it, even though they did eat the food one time.I guessed they were really hungry that day that they didn’t have any other option than to eat the food I made, it was the only way out for them.So, I keep on making their own food to because I couldn’t tel
Chapter Seventy-threeThe Symptoms Olivia“Mrs. Olivia, I can’t give you my patient’s information, and you know that.” The family doctor said to me.Even though I was supposed to ignore what I saw and just go on with what I was told to do with was going to see Sebastian and bringing him back home, my mind couldn’t get over what I saw.Sebastian had been sick for years but he kept it away from his family, he kept it away from everyone, he had been living in pain all my himself for years.I had to come to the hospital to see the family doctor because he was the one who signed the diagnosis I saw, and it had been years since that was issued.That means he had been battling that in silence for years, I wondered why he didn’t tell anyone about it, why he didn’t even tell his parents.“But you have to tell me, doctor. Sebastian needs help.”“I don’t think the prince will agree with that.” The doctor stood up and walked to the shelf in his office. He placed the file in his hand carefully on
Chapter Seventy-fourPain And FearSebastianIt had been days since the party, over a week since Olivia did what she did, but I still couldn’t get it off my head—the pain of watching her, the fear of what might come.I couldn’t tell what was wrong with me, how I was feeling, but I knew something was wrong somewhere because I just couldn’t get my mind off all that had happened. Why did she have to go back on my rule? What was she thinking? Those were the questions that kept on running through my mind, and what now? What would happen now?I had kept Sophia’s memories safe and away for the last couple of years so she could rest in peace, even though her death should have been avoided. I was guilty, to be held responsible, and that was why I always did what I did—making sure she still had that place in my heart, that she was still loved by me, and no woman would be able to take her place, but Olivia.I shook my head, resentment growing once again. The more I thought about all that had hap
Chapter Seventy-fiveSophia 1OliviaI pulled over at a parking space at the front of Sebastian’s vacation house, my body shook as I stepped out of the car, heading towards the door.What will happen? What will he say? Will he get angry again and try to do something worse than leaving this time?My mind raced through these thoughts which caused me to stop and give my decision to go in there to meet him a rethink, was that really the right thing to do? Have I made the right decision?I really didn’t want to do anything which might affect his health further, I just wanted him to get better, at least before I walk away from his life like he wanted, but will going in there help me do that?I stood right there at the door, wondering if I should go in or not, if it was right to do that or not. I wanted him to have his peace, to get better, but the doctor said that could only happen if he gets his therapy and takes his drugs very well, but how was he supposed to do that when he wouldn’t lea
Chapter Sixty-sixSophia 2Olivia“I am so sorry for all I did, it is all mom and dads fault, they got me married without my consent, and..and now.” He held my leg, still crying his lungs out.It was as if he had kept the pain to himself for some time and was now pouring all of that out, I wondered what he might have been going through since all these days, I wondered what pain he must have been in since he left home, it must have been so hard on him.I understood that whatever way he must have been treating me was because of his condition and now it seemed to have even grown worse as he couldn’t even differentiate between me and his late wife.He stood up from the floor and walked to the kitchen, grabbing a knife, he walked back to me and placed the knife in my hand, “take it, Sophia, do whatever you want to me, kill me, stab me, do whatever you want, but just free me from this guilt, just tell me you’ve forgiven me, I can’t keep living with this guilt.” He cried out, falling to his
Chapter Seventy-sevenOur First KissOliviaMy body shook with fear as his blazing eyes gazed at me getting head to toe, I looked down, unable to keep up with his gaze, and my eyes caught his bleeding hand once again.Was I really a problem for him? Why does he tend to hurt himself every time I was there? I had been living and beating with the guilt of what I did at the party for days now, and now he was doing more harm to himself, fueling the guilt I bore already.I took few steps away as he began to move closer to me, I was scared and I didn’t know what to do or where I could turn to, I kept my head bent, taking more steps as he moved back from me.Why was he like this? I didn’t know how to escape from him because I was really scared of what he might do. If he could hurt himself this way and not bulge, then what would he do to me? I believed he would do something worse.I kept on stepping back until I was stopped by a wall, my heart almost stopped beating when I looked up to see that
Chapter Seventy-eightI Love YouOliviaTime seemed to come to a standstill as he deepened the kiss, his hand moving to my waist, pulling me close to himself.My legs shook uncontrollably, and the shot to adrenaline kept pulsing through my veins, leaving my whole body paralyzed with my lips the only thing moving, sucking on his lips.He cupped my face, his fingers rubbing on my cheeks as I took in the tasty alcohol off his lips, it seemed as though that intoxicated me as I wanted more immediately, I wanted more of him, more of what he could give me, I didn’t want the moment to end.He finally unlocked our long locked lips and looked deep into my eyes, I could see the affection and longing in his eyes, even though I knew it was fake as he still thought I was his late wife, I still melt at that look, and my panties were already filled with my wetness.He closed his eyes and kissed my forehead softly, a affectionate kiss, claiming me as his.He pulled back and looked into my eyes once aga
Chapter Seventy-nineThe CommotionOliviaI woke up with the greatest feeling of all that, the aftermath of our lovemaking washed down on me, giving me the greatest sensation ever.My part still felt hot and greasy from his push and pull into me, I could still remember the rhythmic clap of our naked skin against each other, I could remember the soft moans and groans which sounded like a melodious music to my ears.I chuckled, pulling the duvet over my head, my whole body still felt warm with his touch and the kisses he left all over my skin the night before.I chuckled once again, my cheeks burning with blushing as I remember the confession I made to him, how I told him I loved him and even if we end up going our separate ways after everything, I would still love him as much as I did now.I never knew what I was feeling wasn’t just care and concern for him, but I was in love with him, I loved him and I wanted to be with him. Those were my true feelings, and I was glad I could get it of
