OLIVIA . "I'm sorry ma'am but all the tickets to Fredo has been sold out completely." The booking clerk informed me the minute it got to my turn to pay for a ticket. After finalizing my interview with Freddy, I rushed down straight to the train station to book a ticket for my dad's trial tomorrow. I had been on the queue for as long as I can remember only to be denied access for a ticket simply because it has be bought completely. I had always thought that the advantage of living in a small town would be to have a higher chance and privilege of getting something done but so far, I had only be mistaken. The more I put my mind to do something, it more it backfires almost immediately. "And when would I be able to book another ticket for Fredo?" I asked with an exasperated sigh "Listen, my father's trial is tomorrow and I really need this ticket if I'm going to make it there on time. My whole life depends on this, huh?" I pleaded with her in hopes that she sympathizes with my current
OLIVIA . "Get in Olivia!" He beckoned for the second time when i didn't move an inch. "I don't want to be seen with you Davion. Why don't you understand that?" I yelled at him "I've already lost my job and I'm still suffering from what happened when they caught us together the last time. Why won't you just leave me alone?" "Olivia—" "No Davion!" I countered "We don't even know each other so why are you so insistent on helping me and besides, we're not going the same path?" "We are." He replied sharply "I'm headed towards Kruger and I know that's where you're headed as well. Just stop being stubborn and let's go. Please..." He stressed out. I know that I shouldn't even be talking to him but I really needed to be at dad's trial. I was the only family he has and it won't be nice that no one comes over to support him. I weigh the pros and cons of Davion's offer. What if people see is together? What if they make more assumptions about us? Kruger isn't a small town like Fredo. It's
OLIVIA . "Louis Mayweather, do you promise to say the truth and nothing but the truth?" The Jury asked dad as he held onto the holy book. "Yes your honour." He answered and the case was slated to begin immediately. I watched in utter nervousness as they called dad to the stand as well as the plaintiff who had accused him as well. Everything went on so quickly. My nerves were scattered all over the place and I had no idea what to expect. If dad goes down today, it only meant that I had lost against Clinton. I was one hundred percent sure that he had instigated this as a way to get back at me. Clinton was a billionaire who had millions of properties scattered everywhere and during my visit to dad's prison one time, he had told me that Clinton was close friends with the CEO's son who had accused him of the crime of embezzling the company's fund. I swallowed when I felt Clinton's stare on me. I glanced at him briefly and his lips only stretched out in a huge smile. "How do you ple
OLIVIA.Davion forcefully pushed his hands away "Who gave you the right to lay your hands on her?" He questioned Clinton who shifted his gaze from me to the man who had just intercepted his plan to hit me."And who do you think you are?" Clinton asked through gritted teeth. "Let me guess, you're the new man she's been sleeping with aren't you? Mr Davion Hendrickson?" He gave a faux smile. "You’re quite popular on the internet. How shameless. Aren't you aware that she's a married woman?"Davion chuckled at his outburst in a mocking manner "Married? You're the one to talk. I've heard about you, Mr Clinton. Aren't you the same person who cheated on your wife and opted for a divorce?" He asked and I stared at him wide-eyed. How on earth did he come across such information?I was pretty certain that I hadn't mentioned that part of my life to him? How was he able to figure me out? I haven't even processed the fact that he had driven me here to Kruger for dad's trial. How did he know that I
OLIVIA.Ignoring Davion's outburst, I fearlessly approached our house with nothing but the sole purpose of getting through. I won't let them treat my father like garbage. Clinton had planned all of this. I was pretty certain that he had also arranged for the underground evidence to be brought to Court.He might've fooled the other judges but he most definitely cannot fool me. I would go inside and see for myself where exactly the money was dug out from.Standing in front of the yellow tape that sealed off the area, I rubbed my arms against each other to create warmth and friction as the heavy rain drenched my clothes. I shivered but refused to back down.Reaching for the tape, I lifted it and made my way through. I glanced back at Davion to see that he was still in his car. I was grateful that he didn't follow me. It was much better this way.I am about to march towards the front porch when I heard the blazing sound of sirens coming from afar. At first, I tried to ignore but it only g
OLIVIA."D-Davion?" I called out, stunned that he was standing in front of me. How on earth did he get here? More important question, why do I keep bumping into him at the slightest? Why was he here out of all the hotels that he could've gotten at anywhere in Kruger with his money and influence. Was he here to meet someone or did he follow her here?I suddenly felt irritated. The rich always seemed to have it easy in life while I was always struggling to get even the slightest help when I wanted it.Snatching my eyes away from his his, I turned to my heels and made it out of the hotel but he chased after me and grabbed my hands forcefully causing my breath to hitch."Let go, Now!" I yelled at him but he wouldn't listen. I tried to pull my hands away from his but he only held on tighter so that I couldn't move or get away."Olivia—""Let me go Davion. Please!" I pleaded, the tears suddenly burning my vision. "Just let me go.""I can't Olivia and I won't." He deadpanned. "Why should I i
DAVION."When will you be back?" Karla, my secretary asked and I brushed off the question like it never came."I'm busy with urgent business Karla. My coming has nothing to do with your job or anyone else." I picked up a mug of coffee from my table and took a sip."Urgent business?" She questioned "What kind of urgent business that I don't know anything about? I'm your secretary and if there's anyone who should be aware of your schedule and business then it's me but so far, I know nothing.""Something came up Karla so I had to take care of it myself. It's not in your job description that the CEO should report all his whereabouts to his secretary.""It's her isn't it?" She blurted out "The woman from the internet, she's the one whom you wemt to see right? Your important business project."I rolled my eyes at her sarcastic comment. "And what if I say she is?" I countered. "It's not like anyone would say anything about it.""She's a nobody and you two would have to go through another rou
OLIVIA.I bit down my lips nervously. What have I gotten myself into now? What prompted me to go into his room in the first place? How on earth did I get stuck with this guy again, in this bedroom, for the second time? What if someone realizes that I'm in here and decides to cause a rukus? How would I manage?"I have to go Davion. My friend is waiting for me." I tried to sway him into letting me leave but I knew that he wouldn't let me go. Davion had a mind of it's own and getting him to agree to any of this is just pointless."If she was then she'd be out searching for you by now.""And how would she find me when she has no idea that I'm here in your bedroom at the moment?" I threw him a fierce look."That's why you need to have coffee with me so that you can go and meet your friend. You were the one who willingly came into my bedroom, it's not like I forced you to." He turned to his table to set up the cups and mix the coffee."Trust me, they have the best coffee in this hotel. One
