OLIVIA."We are so sorry for your loss miss Olivia...." That was the only news I was getting ever since the issue and news of mum death spread across town. Everyone had been calling to offer their condolences and show their support for me. I didn't want to sound like a bad person but I was upset that my mum knew all of these people and yet not once did they call to ever check up on me or on her to see how she was doing but all of a sudden they are calling nonstop because they have heard that she was now dead. I know that Clinton was the one who must have passed the message across.He was a millionaire with a lot of money to his name so I am not surprised that he had done this. I thought that he would at least let the ceremony go smoothly and peacefully until I have very hard but sadly he didn't. He was still trying all that he could to make sure that he was still relevant in my life in as much as I don't want him to be. At this rate I won't be surprised if Dad had already heard the n
OLIVIA.Mike led me towards his car that was parked at the parking lot. I was so tired that I could barely feel my feet. The whole incident with Clinton and the hospital has left me drained to the point that I can't even think straight anymore. At this point I just wanted to go home and lay my head to rest because the migraine I have was already coming in deep and if it continues like this I might lose my sanity."Let's get you home." Mike announced. "I'll make something delicious for you to eat and then you will have your medicines so that you can rest. You've been up and about all day and I think you're slowly beginning to lose weight to. Just look at you. If I didn't know any better I wouldn't even recognise you to be my friend anymore.""Funny enough, I don't even feel the need to eat or drink anything. I'm just so tired and the only thing I need right now is simply a nice and relaxing bed rest." I stated as we arrived at the car."You're going to have food and that's not even a
.SABRINA.I had no idea my dad wanted to see me. He had never requested my presence for anything so him calling me at this very moment to see me was something that I never expected considering how our dinner with each other ended the last time when he brought his mistress to a family event. I told myself that I would not forgive him for what he did because he desecrated my mother's name by bringing a slut to take her place as a family occasion.I had always thought that one day, he was going to change and that life would be different but as time flew by I knew that that change was far from him. I had come to accept the fact that he will always continue with whatever he was doing and that nothing was ever going to change for as long as he was living and breathing.Growing up, I have always had a soft spot for Dad. And I knew that I love him way more than I loved mum. In my eyes he could never do wrong and I was seen as his princess because that was how he treated me and made me feel.
.SABRINA."You behave and act like your mother in a whole lot of ways Sabrina. There are times when I look at you now, I see her." He said to me and I rolled my eyes nonchalantly."Do you see her the way you killed her or do you see her as a woman that you suffered under your roof till she couldn't bear it anymore and had to give up the ghost?" I asked but he only chuckled. "And why are you suddenly speaking about my mother today of all days? Are you finally feeling remorseful for all your actions or are you saying this because you feel as if, if you do, I will somehow learn to forgive you and accept you as my father again?""I didn't call you yet because I wanted you to forgive me or accept me as your father. In fact I called you here for an entirely different reason which I think will be beneficial for the two of us." He said and walked out of my bedroom leaving me to follow."You called me yesterday because you wanted to use me am I right?" I questioned."Well if you put it that
OLIVIA.Mike drove me home after making several stops on the way to get me something that only he assumes might keep me energized for the rest of the day. Not that I needed you to do but he kept on insisting and I didn't want to stop him because I didn't have the strength to. I was so tired and too weak to argue with him at this point so I let him do whatever he wanted."Now that you've resigned from your job, are you open for a trip later this month on a vacation to somewhere or anywhere that you might like to go?" He asked as he drove on the highway.I scrunched my face. "A trip? But why do you want us to go on a trip?""Well..." He trailed off which piqued my interest."You know you can tell me anything right? So if there is anything bothering you then please let me know." I urged."I just want to spend time on the vacation with my family and friends before accepting a new job to work in another country and I'll be leaving in let's say two to three months time." He blurted out and
DAVION.I watched her from afar with a distraught look on my face as she smeered her mother's ashes in the sea. She was crying profusely as she performed the last rites of her mother after saying a few words. I was upset that I couldn't be there with her but I was grateful that her friend was offering her all the support and comfort that she needed at these times.After Olivia had told me off at our apartment the other day I decided to look into the hospital to see if I can come up with a reason as to why Olivia's mother passed but the clinic could not give me any reasonable answers to all my questions. The doctor had insisted that everything was okay with her and that she was progressing to a full recovery but he was surprised to find out that she passed away that lines breaking Dawn.I also found out that the CCTV footage in the hospital has been cleared and that there was no incident or occurrences that happened on that day that Olivia's mother died so I do not see or know what to
SABRINA.I was torn between doing what I wanted and doing what my father was asking of me. If I should go along with his plans is only meant that I was going to be a puppet and he was going to be the one pulling the strings concerning every little thing that is going to happen from now henceforth. I cannot believe that I left that house only to end up being a pawn on the chessboard for my father to play me like he intended. How is it even possible that he was able to put himself in such a bind to the extent of drawing me into it as well?At first when he called me to his house I thought I actually wanted to make up and that he was actually feeling sorry that we had drifted apart these last few years but he had only one intention which was fueling the height that I had for him. So not only did he embezzled funds in the state account he also did a lot of shity things and in order to cover them up he needed my marriage with Davion so that he does not go down the drains.And all my life
DAVION.I made my way back to my car and after I got in, I shut the door as Ezra drove out of Sabrina's mansion. I couldn't stop thinking about what I had smelled when Sabrina try to hug me. It was definitely the smell of cigarettes because I have received that familiar smell a lot of times so I definitely know what cigarette smells like. But she told me that she was pregnant so how is it possible that she was smoking? Doesn't she know that it is harmful for the baby if she smokes?"Are you okay boss?" He asked me and I snapped back to reality. I have been so lost in my thoughts thinking about the possibility of Sabrina not being pregnant at all and just lying to get me to marry her."I am worried Ezra." I blurted out. "I think that Sabrina is up to something but I don't know what and it's eating out at me. I think that she is lying about being pregnant but I just don't know how to find out if she is indeed telling the truth or not because it seems as if she is lying about everything
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
