.OLIVIA.I walked out of Davion's office and I couldn't help but feel sad for him. I know that he was going through a lot but staying away from him was the only way I could help him achieve whatever he wanted to achieve. If he kept on getting close to me then it'll end him up in problems and I didn't want that. I love him so much that I wanted to protect him so that he doesn't get into any troubles because of me.I got into my office and lowered myself on my chair as my mind drifted off to what Davion had said in his office.Mike walked in later. "I just saw you in the boss's office. What were you doing there or rather, what did he call you for because I know that you will not go there if he did not send for you.""He was simply apologizing for what had happened today." I said to Mike, withholding the other details."Did something happen at the meeting you both attended today? Is that it?""No." I ran my hands over my face. "There was no meeting. He lied about us going to a meeting
OLIVIA."So..." Finn asked after we had both tucked in our seatbelt and settled down nicely in his car. In as much as I didn't want him to drive me, I was at least grateful that he was helping me out. Mike had left earlier because he wanted to attend to something urgent. "Where is the route to your home?"I chuckled. "I'm not going home. I want to go and see my mother who is admitted in the hospital." I broke down the news to him and he turned to face me."I'm sorry. I had no idea that your mum was in the hospital." He whispered empathetically.I waved him off. "It's not your fault so why are you apologizing? Besides, it's not like I mentioned or said anything about it. Please don't embarrass me by doing this Finn.""I just figured that since we were friends I should know a thing or two about you and here I am again still clueless without a thoughts about whatever you're going through. So how is your mother and is she doing okay?""We recently just became friends Finn." I reminded hi
OLIVIA.I knew who she was referring to when she asked me about handsome but I just couldn't bring myself to tell her anything about it. How should I tell her that the man whom she thought will end up with me I was in fact engaged to another woman who was carrying his child and about to get married too."Is everything okay?" She questioned. "You look lost as though you've seen a ghost. I'm only asking you about Davion. The man you brought to see me the last time.""He um... he's fine and okay." I answered, afraid that I might slip should in case I said anything more."Are you lying to me?" She inquired. "I am your mother Olivia and I know when you are trying to hide things from me like you're doing right now. Is something bothering you that you would like to share with me? What exactly is going on because your mood looks very gloomy and I do not like it.""Davion is engaged and about to get married."She gasped. "That's a lie. You don't mean it do you? Are you trying to play a prank
OLIVIA."Thank you for driving me here to see my mom Finn." I said as we made our way outside the hospital and towards his car that was parked at the entrance. "To be honest, I really glad that you did because I don't know what would have happened if I came by myself.""You're welcome Olivia and I'm glad that I could help. Your mom seems like a very nice woman." He complimented and I smiled."Yeah she is." I conceded. "I'm just so happy that she's finally recovering and would be better soon. At first I didn't think that she would get better because she has been sick for a very long time but I'm grateful that she managed to walk through the fire and came back stronger.""You must really love your mother." He said and I chuckled with a sigh."Yes I do. She wasn't always around while growing up and she was the kind of person that did what her heart told her to do but she loved us desperately and always tried to be the glue our family needs. So yes, I might be upset about a lot of things
OLIVIA."I'm sorry Miss Olivia but we lost her..." That was the only sentence that kept on repeating in my ears over and over again. I didn't understand what it meant and I had been cracking my brains to figure out if I was dreaming or not. There's no way in hell that mom is dead. She couldn't be dead. The doctor was lying. Maybe there is another meaning for the word gone because it simply cannot be the word that the doctor is trying to use in this context. How can she be gone when I spoke to her just yesterday night? We had been talking to each other the whole of yesterday and she was all right. She looked healthy and strong and she also promised to come back home with me after her treatment is over so how could she be gone?"This is a prank right doctor" I asked. Hoping desperately that the news I had just heard was nothing but a total lie. "You're joking with me right? My mum is not dead and you're just trying to play a prank on me so that I can come and pick her up from the hospi
OLIVIA.I rushed out of Davion's office and met Mike halfway. He approached me and I could see the look on his face through my tears which told me that he was equally confused about what was happening. He proceeded to ask me what was wrong but I couldn't bring myself to tell him anything because each time I open my mouth to say something I ended up crying more. It hurts to know that I have finally lost my mother and I can't bring myself to accept that fact. Davion had lied to me. He told me that he would take care of her and that nothing was going to happen to her but it was all a lie. He and his fiance has succeeded in killing my mother and I will not forgive them for that."Olivia what's wrong?" He questioned. "Talk to me Olivia. I'm begging you to tell me what's going on." He shook me vigorously."My mom..." Hiccups. "My mom is dead Mike." I finally broke down the news to him. My legs gave way and I was about to crash to the ground but he caught me just in time. I don't know what
OLIVIA."What are you doing here Clinton?" I yelled at him. "And who gave you the right to come after my mother and pretend as if we are both still married?"He looked around, his eyes twitching unnecessarily. "And to think that I thought that you would actually learn your lesson after the last time that you tried to go up against me only to realize that it does seem as if you are asking for another round for the second time?"I scoffed. "Are you trying to threaten me Clinton or is there something that you want to say but just don't know how to say it? Is this your own way of telling me that you were the one who murdered my mum?""Don't try to put words in my mouth Olivia." He shunned me. "I didn't kill your mum and I had no intentions of killing her either and besides if I wanted her dead I probably would have done so a long time ago when I was still the one footing her medical bills that almost costed me a fortune. I could have killed her right then and saved myself the trouble of
DYLAN.I couldn't come to terms with what Olivia had said to me before she stormed out of my office. I didn't trust Sabrina fully but I was certain that she would not go ahead with her plan of killing Olivia's mother. she might be a lot of things but she was definitely not a killer or a murderer and that was why I had a little bit of faith that she would not pull through with her plans but Olivia's words has left me in shock and I am still trying to comprehend it.That day after the dinner party, she told me herself that she didn't pull through with it because and that despite the fact that I didn't agree to our terms, Olivia did and it wouldn't be fair to her if she actually killed her mother even after she succumbed to her plans and her wishes so why would she go ahead to kill the poor woman? And why am I the last person to find out about this?I need answers and I need them now because if I did not try to find a way to fix this and Olivia I would never trust or forgive me ever in
