.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
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
