OLIVIA."Oh my goodness Davion. I've missed you so damn much baby boo!" She squealed excitedly and pecked him on the cheeks. He tried to pull her off him but he couldn't and I just stood there with a confused look on my face which wasn't even helping matters right now.She looks so familiar. I feel like I've met her before or seen her somewhere but I can't think of the exact place we've met. I tried to rack my brain for answers but everything came back blank. Who is this lady and how does she know Davion?Were they lovers, friends, colleagues or maybe business partners? The more I tried to think about it the more confused it gets me. They couldn't be friends, neither are they just colleagues? There was something off about her. And with the way she presented herself I felt like they were more than friends. Maybe they were in a relationship together. But Davion had told me that he doesn't have a girlfriend neither does he have a woman in his life so then who could she be? Or are my eye
OLIVIA.I tried to put in two and two together. Sabrina? Why does that name sound so effing familiar? I'm very sure that I have heard this name before but I don't know where and exactly how I have heard it. It sounds so familiar and for the life in me I know that is related to something but how come Davion knows about her and how come they are so close to each other?He had told me that he didn't have any female friends of his very own and that he had grown up lonely because he couldn't associate more with people so how on Earth did they become friends? and why was she hugging on him like a lost puppy that was found in a pond?"I'm very sorry Sabrina but you can't come to my house." Davion turned her down and judging from the look of things she doesn't look all that pleased that he had refused her."What do you mean by I can't come to your house? We have always hanged out together so why can't I come to your house now?""Well first of all, you just came back from a very long trip tha
OLIVIA.How could i not recognize her as the president's daughter? They are one of the biggest shareholding companies across the nation. They were big investors and one of the most influential people in Kruger. How come Davion is engaged to her? What am I missing here."You can't fire anyone in my company Sabrina. How many times do I have to tell you that you have no say here?" He fired at her."I do have say Davion. I do have say in a lot of things that you do because I'm your soon-to-be wife and after we get married, we are going to be in charge of running these companies together as husband and wife so yes I do have say on who lives and on who stays." She challenged him."I'm really sorry that you have to witness this Olivia. It was never my intention to—""Are you apologizing to her right now? Are you seriously doing that in front of me? I am the one who had walked in on both of you unannounced and canoodling with each other. I'm the one who had come into your office to see a wom
SABRINA.I turned around to see Olivia or whatever they called her, holding onto my arm. She had her grip held firmly on mine that I had to push her hands away forcefully."What are you doing?" I asked and she straightened herself. Ever since I got to know that she was the one on the news with Davion, I just can't seem to think of her differently."Nothing ma'am. I just need to correct a few things that you said earlier before he came." She told me fiercely and the look in her eyes told me that she meant everything that she had just said. Oh no. I don't want to get caught up in this sort of drama because of her."Is there any need to? We literally just discussed between ourselves so why do you have to involve him in it?" I asked trying to see if I could dial down the matter and tone it down a bit."You're right that we discussed it amongst ourselves but then again what you told me earlier was about him was it not? He is the centre of our conversation so it's only wise that he gets to
OLIVIA.Sabrina stormed off and I am left standing alone with Davion. He looks confused and conflicted as though he doesn't know what to say to me or how to start explaining himself from the very beginning. I could tell that he was tense as well and that he wanted to explain so badly but then again I really wasn't in the mood for anything that he had to say at this point. He had not only lied to me but he had made me a fool in front of everyone including his fiancee and there was nothing he would say to me at this point that would make me forgive him or see him differently right now.The silence between us is deafening and I could see the tension cloud the air as we both stood still without uttering a single word. Coming to terms that he would not be able to say anything, I decided to take my leave but he stopped me even before I could go further."Olivia, please—" He stretched out his hands but squeezed it tightly and let it drop by his side forcefully."Is there anything that you w
OLIVIA.I went back to my office and sat down helplessly on my chair. I couldn't begin to imagine what had happened earlier between the three of us and to think that he had the guts to lie to me even after knowing everything about me was just so disheartening. I had always thought that he was different from the others and that if I gave him a chance he would prove himself to be better but I just realised now that I was wrong. I should never had trusted him in the first place and now it's all on me for letting myself fall so deep for him.Why is it that I was always calling it with the bad and useless ones. Why am I always attracted to the ones that will end up hurting me? Why can't I meet the good ones for a change? Or is it a course that I must die meeting the bad and rotten eggs for the rest of my life?Still wallowing in my thoughts and feeling utterly sad and pitiful about my life, I heard a faint knock on the door. At first I wanted to ignore because I figured that I was the onl
OLIVIA.Mike had spent the last thirty minutes giving me information about Sabrina. Truly, she and Davion had been in a relationship for a very long time before she travelled out of the states. At first no one said anything about it because everyone believed that they had broken up and that was why she decided to relocate to another country. But everything had been another story entirely. Sabrina and Davion were very much in a relationship and the only reason why she left was because her father had sent her on an important business trip to meet some of his business partners which took a lot of time before she finally decided to come back.I was surprised that I didn't know anything about this. I will not blame myself though. it's not like I was invested in other people's lives to know what was going on with them in the first place."Sabrina has always had a soft spot for Davio for a very long time. No one knew how they met or how they ended up together. We only saw it on the internet
OLIVIA."What happened to you?" Mike asked the minute he spotted me walking towards him. "I've been waiting for you to show up for more than ten minutes now. You really are the woman of the hour aren't you?"I hit my head mildly. "I'm sorry Mike. I just bumped into someone on my way here and to be honest, he gave me the chills. He didn't even apologize for bumping into me.""Really?" He asked looking genuinely worried. "Who he is? Did you see his face? Do you know who he was?""Sadly, no." I breathed out. "He ran off before I could get to see who he was. I was so scared. I thought that he was a killer or even worse. Who lets these people roam free at night? And also on private property?""Anyways. You're not hurt or injured and that's the most important thing right now." He studied my body for injuries. "Let's go home. I am already freaked out by what you just told me and I don't want to be here any longer should in case that scary looking man comes back for second piece."Mike open
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
