OLIVIA.I watched the news and I couldn't help the tears that rolled down my cheeks as I saw what was displayed on the television. The news was talking about davian and Sabrina confirming their relationship and their upcoming marriage which is to take place very soon. I thought that he would say something to debunk the rumours when Sabrina said it but he remained quiet throughout the entire time that I was actually starting to believe if he didn't want this like he had told me.When he tried to apologize to me the other time, he told me that he wasn't going to get married to Sabrina and that their relationship was nothing but a lie. How am I supposed to believe that piece of information when he couldn't even say anything to defend himself when she had claimed to marry him?I took another swig of my drink and with each passing second I could feel myself getting more and more drunk. Mike had tried all that he could to get me to stop drinking ever since we came here but I just couldn't.
OLIVIA.I woke up the next morning feeling completely tired and drained. My hangover had gotten worse and the migraine hit me as though I stumbled upon an avalanche last night. I should have listened to Mike when he told me not to have any more drinks but I was too stubborn and nursing my broken heart that I didn't give him a listening ear. Now I look like a wreck. As if a train just ran over me on the tracks.Pushing myself out of the bed, I made my way into the bathroom to have my bath. I stood under the shower and let the cold water cascade down my body from my head to my toe. I felt a bit refreshed after having my bath and then, I proceeded to pick out an outfit to wear to work today. I glanced at the clock in my bedroom only to realise that I was almost late for work. If I don't leave on time then I wouldn't be able to make it at all. This isn't how I had envisioned my day to go but I had been drunk out of my mind so it's not like I expected to wake up early even if I wanted to.
OLIVIA."This way." He led me towards his car and I willingly followed. I don't want to feel bad about my decision but it was only after I got in that I suddenly felt regret for standing up and leaving Davion to stand there all by himself. He looked shocked and I could tell that he wasn't expecting me to go with a stranger and reject his offer to ride me to work. Not that I am proud of my decision but I would rather accept the offer from a kidnapper rather than getting into a car with him.No matter how I tried to be strong, I still couldn't get past what I had seen last night on the television about his engagement with Sabrina. I still felt betrayed and the more I keep on giving in to him, the more it's going to ruin me completely. I love him and I know that I really do but maybe it's time to accept that our relationship was not meant to be in the first place. While we were growing up our parents separated us from each other and now that we were fully adults, we are being separated
OLIVIA.We arrived at work and I thanked him graciously for bringing me safely. To be honest if it wasn't for him then I probably would have been stranded or stuck waiting for a cab and if the worse had happened and gotten to the point that I couldn't control, I would have taken the option of going with Davion but I'm glad that he came to my rescue when I needed it."Don't sweat it Olivia. I'm glad that I could be of help. I would have done the same for anybody in your shoes. That's what humanity is all about."I was impressed with the way he spoke and the way he carried himself. Not a lot of men are able to do what he did which goes to say that he was a very intelligent person."Alright then, I'll be leaving now." I announced and made to leave but he stopped me."Can I at least have your number?" He asked stretching out his phone to me. "You don't have to give it to me if it's something that you don't want to do. I just want to be able to speak to you sometimes and also give you mor
OLIVIA.I walked into the company and I am surprised to see Mike at the entrance waiting for me. I swiped my card and after gaining access to go through the security, I walked up to him. His jaw was dropped to the ground as he stared at me with shocked eyes. If I didn't know any better then I would have said that maybe he had seen a ghost but knowing Mike, he was always used to making a big deal out of everything."What is it this time?" I asked the obvious even though something deep down inside me told me to just ignore and walk away without saying a word."Did I just see you coming out from Finn Holland's car or are my eyes deceiving me?" He asked and I twitched my lips, lost in thought."Finn Holland?" I repeated and he nodded almost immediately. "He told me that his name was Finn and that was it. Why? Is he someone important?""Are you fucking kidding me right now Olivia?" Mike almost yelled at me but composed himself when he realized that everyone had focused their attention on
OLIVIA."You gave him your number?" Mike yelled at me."Stop yelling!" I told him off. "It was just a number so I don't know why you're making such a big deal out of it.""Does Davion know?" He questioned.I shook my head. "No. Unless maybe you're planning on telling him about it. And why should it matter if I have Finn's number? He drove me to work and although we just met but he's just someone I met and is acquainted with, not to mention that it's my phone so I have the right to decide whose number I want to have in it and whose number I do not want to have.""I want you to be very careful Olivia. Finn and Davion go way back and for him to approach you and asked for your number it's means that he knows who you are and he knows that you are close to Davion so I'm not saying that you shouldn't have friends or you shouldn't hang out with him or you shouldn't get to know him but just be careful so that you don't get used, that's it.""We both know that you're still going through the ph
OLIVIA."What is the meaning of this davian? Why would you bring me here on the pretext of having lunch with me?" I questioned with an angered look on my face. Each time I try to stay away from him, he comes up with more stunts to bring us closer together and it always ends up with the wrong reasons."I thought that I had already made myself clear today that I wanted nothing to do with you. I thought that we had already settled this so why do you keep on adding to The fire that I'm trying so badly to quench before it consumes us?""You're right." He admitted. "You did made yourself clear about the issue at hand but I never agreed to any of them. Olivia I have feelings for you and I can't simply just throw them away.""Well you have to start learning how to throw them away because I don't want to have anything to do with you. The sex was a mistake in the first place. I would never have done anything with you if I had known that you were engaged to be married. I broke up with my husban
.DAVION.It hurts so much to see that Olivia had actually given up on us. When I left the restaurant yesterday, I had only one thought in mind and that was to make up with Olivia and have her forgive me for what I had done to her. I understood that she was hurt and that she needed her space which was why when she chased me away last night I initially obliged even though I didn't want to.I badly wanted to tell her that the dinner date was something I never wanted to attend and that the only reason I went was because Sabrina had threatened to hurt her mother if I did not obey her wishes but she wouldn't listen to me and neither does she want to hear anything I have to say concerning the matter. She only believes that I have lied and betrayed her so how exactly am I going to fix it if she wouldn't even give me a listening ear at least?"do you really want to go back to the office?" I asked and she nodded."As soon as possible sir. I have a lot of work to do and staying here would not
OLIVIA.SIX MONTHS LATER.It's been six whole months since the entire incident happened with Sabrina, her dad and my ex-husband. Sabrina and her father were sentenced to life imprisonment while Clinton was sentenced to twenty years in prison with no parole. My divorce with Clinton was officially successful and I got to receive half of his property and money. The evidence against my father was proven to be false and he was also released from prison as well. I visited mum to pay my respects and also tell her that I miss her alongside Davion.We had both decided to tie the knot after many ups and downs in our lives. I was excited because I would finally be getting married to love of my life and my childhood best friend. Mike's job pulled through and he left the country with Ezra. I later got to find out that they were in a official relationship with each other which was cute by the way. Davion promise to be by my side and he promised me forever. That accepted him into the family and he
OLIVIA.I had to say that it felt good to be back home after a these years. I felt refreshed and so alive that I had come back home. Davion and I were finally living together in his place ever since I came back from the hospital because I couldn't afford to go to mine after everything that had happened. My leg was healing slowly at its pace and everything could not have been better.The internet has been buzzing since the issue of my kidnap and who was behind it came to light. Davion's proposal for me had also gotten a whole lot of feedback. While people still trolled me by calling me names and bringing my divorce into the mix, some people actually supported and rooted for our love. I had told Davion that we needed to take things slow with each other because I wanted everything to calm down and the dust to settle."You're up?" He said walking into my bedroom. I had requested for a room of my own because I didn't want to share a bed with him. At least not yet and he was understanding
DAVION.Sabrina is shocked at my outburst and I could see the fear and worry in her eyes. She probably didn't expect me to say such in the presence of everyone gathered here but I don't care less. She has been using me as a puppet and it's finally her turn to be one."Davy what are you doing?" She asked, holding me by my arm. Her eyes opened wide as she looked around the crowd of people gathered who were muttering incoherent words at my outburst. Everyone was quite shocked and confused as well."You signed a contract and you promised to do this." She said through gritted teeth. "Don't embarrass and do the right thing Davion otherwise, you won't get to see the woman that you claim to love anymore."I chuckled. "I'm sorry Sabrina but this time, luck is not in your favour and the game is on you. I believed that you have done so much to ruin my life already so it's high time for you to face the damn music and you are going to face it head on."Her eyes widened and almost popped out of th
SABRINA."There all done" The makeup artist dad had told to make me up said to me. I felt the tears coming out from the corner of my eyes."Don't you want to see how it looks?" she asked again but this time placing the mirror in front of me. I took it from her and stare at my reflection in the mirror. Who would have thought that I will be getting married today and to the love of my life ever since we were little? I have always dreamt of this day and is finally becoming a reality for me.Most people might think that my life is being ruined because I am not getting married to love of my life but I can always say that my life has been nothing but beautiful at this point. Davion might not love me but at least I was finally getting married to him. He was finally going to be my husband after all of these years dreaming and wishing about it. It was finally becoming a reality and I can't help but smile at the outcome of everything.There was a time in my life when I wanted to get married to
DAVION.DAY OF THE WEDDING.I stood in front of the full length mirror as they adjusted the collar to my tuxedo. I can't believe that all my efforts to find Olivia these past few days has been futile. I have not been able to find anything about her and Sabrina had not slipped or given out a clue even by accident. It's as if she was being extra careful with everything.I even tried to fake date her so that she at least lets me know what was happening around her but her lips had been sealed shut. The more I thought about it the more frustrated I became. There was no escaping this one anymore because I was already tired on the spot and there was nothing I could do to free myself from this bind."Is the suit okay to your liking sir?" The man in charge of dressing up asked and I glared at him angrily."Do I look like I care if your suit is okay or not? I do not even want to be here in the first place neither do I care if I have to walk to that place in rags so please just do what you're
SABRINA.I am so happy that Davion had finally accepted that we are going to be together. I don't want to tell him this but I plan to stage Olivia's accident after our wedding so that he won't be able to talk to her anymore. At first I wanted to release her but when I thought about it, I decided against it. If I should release her then he would always find a reason to meet up with her and I won't have my shot at a happy ever after for myself so I will have to eliminate the threat if I am supposed to make things better for myself.My father has been right all along. Letting her live will only complicate things and I won't be able to get a grip of my home if she still alive and breathing so in order to secure my family in the future, I will have to make sure that she is no longer alive.I will make the Davion believe that everything is okay and immediately after the wedding, I am going to release her on on the way, I'm going to plan with someone to kill her so that no matter what happe
DAVION.I arrived at Sabrina's mansion with a box of chocolate on one hand and a rose petal on the other. There is only one way that I know on distracting Sabrina. It's giving her my undivided attention. And the only thing that she has ever wanted was to be with me for the rest of my life without anyone interfering and that's exactly what I was going to do. I am going to make her crave me to the point of utter madness where she would be to occupied to even think about Olivia. So that the investigator and Mike will be able to do their job in trying to locate her.I am right at the front door and security welcomed me in. I'm guessing that she had already told them not to stop me at the gate should in case I come to see her."Where is she?" I asked one of the maid who had come to usher me inside the house."Madam is in her bedroom but I will call her out for you." I nodded my head and she quickly rushed off to do as she had said. Few minutes later, Sabrina rushed down the stairs and flu
OLIVIA.I woke up to the sound of indistinct chattering. What's that smell? I feel like I'm about to throw up. I slowly opened my eyes but blinked severally to adjust the rays of sun passing through them. For how long have I been asleep? Did they drug me again? I opened my eyes tiredly. It took me a minute or two to realize that I was still in the cell looking cage where they had locked me up. My head was throbbing badly. it felt like someone was pulling a saw through it. I tried to move my leg but winced when the wound from the bullet shot through my veins.It has been five days since I was brought here. The people who kidnapped me has refused to tell me anything about my captor or who had sent them. I had spent the last few days shouting at them to at least let me talk to whoever was behind it but they refused. They kept on insisting that I was going to rot in here.I have never had any issue with anyone so I don't see a reason why someone will try to kidnap me when I have done ab
DAVION.I was still talking to Mike when they all arrived. If I didn't know any better, I'd think that they all came together judging by how they trooped into my mansion one after the other. Mike and Finne must really care about Olivia. When we were friends, he was always buried in work and never tried to make out time for anything but he was here today because I had mentioned Olivia. Does he really have feelings for her? Was she considering to be in a relationship with him before she was kidnapped? Does she like him or better question, are they planning to be together?"You called us all here?" He said out loud. "I know that it's about Olivia but why are we all here?""You're all here because I need your help." I said in a straight-forward manner without mincing words. This was already beyond me and I can't waste any more time thinking about the ifs and buts of anything at the moment. The main priority at the moment was figuring out where Olivia was and bringing her back to safety a
