OLIVIA.I kissed Davion back with so much intensity and frivolity that I was quite shocked at myself. I had no idea that I was capable of doing such. When we pulled away, we joined our heads together as we both tried to catch our breath."How I've missed doing that." He confessed and I couldn't help but laugh. The way he said it sounded a lot funnier than I imagined it coming out of his mouth."Can we....can we please have breakfast now?" I asked and he nodded yes before taking an empty seat. I sat down next to him and dished out for the two of us making sure to stuff his plates so that he ate to his full."Why didn't you let Ezra join us for dinner? I cooked enough for all of us." I asked causing his nose to crinkle up in displeasure."The last time I checked, you asked me out for dinner which is supposed to be a date between the two of us and no third party or third wheel is alloy so why on earth are you insisting that I should have invited Ezra to join us?" He asked, staring inten
OLIVIA.I wonder why Davion was trying to give me credit for what he has done for himself. I wasn't even a part of his life neither did I help him in any way so why would he say that his success was also because of me and that I was a part of it? Why would he say that after tolling through the end of the world to get to where he was now?"Are you okay?" He asked and I nodded yes. Why wouldn't I be okay? Today was a very good day and I'm very happy too."You just seem a little quiet and so it had me worried.""Everything is fine. You don't have to worry about anything." I assured him. "I'm just thrilled and a bit excited to see you here that's all. It feels like a dream but I know it's not because weeks ago, you were my boss and now you're Ricky, my best friend.""I know. Even I didn't believe it too when I realized that you were Olivia as well. My Olivia." He said and I felt my heart do a tiny dance. That's what he normally calls me when we were kids. Oh I miss the good old days."Yo
Olivia moaned softly and opened up to him. His tongue delved in, gently, urging, begging. His hands were tender as one curled up around her neck holding her in place while the other raised up slowly from her hips, tracing the line of her back and resting possessively on her bottom.A flame sizzled through her, pumping and shooting up into her bloodstream like a volcano. Wide and hot. She kissed him back. A kiss filled with so much emotion and pure innocence.She wasn't kissing him to impress him, but she was kissing him because she couldn't control the desire in her to do so. The thought of it had Davion's head reeling in happiness.His mouth hardened, becoming hot and compelling. Soft cries escaped her lips, driving him crazy.His mouth was fastened hard on hers as he kissed her thoroughly.For a few minutes, she kissed him back but with a whimper, she wretched her lips away from his. She shot up immediately, blushing furiously, her lips wet and swollen from being kissed."Do you wan
OLIVIA.I woke up to the lower part of my body aching massively. I groaned and tried to move but my body was clearly restricting all movements and wouldn't let me make any.Morning!The ray of light from the sun hit my face from the window. I open my eyes slowly to adjust the light passing through then as I rubbed my forehead lightly.I turn to see Davion lying beside me. hands holding me in place possessively. His hair was scattered like...wait that was me! I did that to him last night. "Make love to me Davion... make me yours!!" my voice echoed in my head.FUCK!I pulled up the sheets only to realize that I was without clothes and Davion too. Oh dear Lord! What have I done now? This wasn't supposed to happen. I know that I had willingly given myself to him but them, I was still at the early stages to my divorce. I don't want to confuse my feelings and then use him as a rebound which would only complicate things between us.I have thought about everything and I have come to s conclu
.OLIVIA."Is something wrong?" Davion asked when I didn't say anything yet after I had told him that I wanted to speak to him. "What's going on Olivia. You're barely saying anything and you've been quiet ever since. Is there something you want to tell me or is that something that I should know about? Is it about last night? did I do something wrong?""No you didn't do anything wrong and it's definitely not about last night." I answered as I tried my possible best to avoid his gaze. The look on his face told me that he was confused and possibly conflicted as well."Then what's the problem?" He proceeded to ask. "Ever since we got up this morning you've been acting strange. You barely talked to me and you acted as if you were too shy to even speak to me. And when I insisted on kissing you or trying to be polite, you brushed me off that you wanted to use the bathroom and after that you have been trying to avoid me and I don't know what I did or could have done to deserve that.""I thou
"Would you be kind enough to please give me some time?" I asked when he paced around the kitchen. We had been on the subject for a very long time and he wasn't giving me a reasonable response to the question that I had asked earlier. I needed him to agree to this at least so that we would both know the way forward with our lives. I will give anything to be his friend but I don't think I'm ready for any sort of relationship at the moment. Maybe in the future when everything is sorted out in my life, I might reconsider but for now, I don't think I want to."I really don't think it's time that you need Olivia." He answered much to my surprise. I looked at him trying to figure out what he meant by that statement but I couldn't get anything out of it."And what do you mean by that?""You're just looking for ways to avoid me and run away from me and if I should give him to this request of yours then I'm one hundred percent sure that you won't try to be friends again or at least try to get c
OLIVIA.I couldn't believe that Davion had suggested that and I couldn't believe that I had agreed to do that with him. Why on earth would I agree to do that? And for what purpose? Davion was supposed to be my best friend and now we were on the verge of becoming potential fuck buddies which I had consented to. Shit!In a way I felt trapped but I also felt relieved that I had decided to do that. Maybe that's what we both needed instead of being all up in each other's business. What can I say? We were both adults that needed each other to be in their lives one way or the other."Hi." He called and I turned to look at him. I thought he had left already."I went inside to get my stuff." He said as if reading my thoughts."Oh, it's okay. There's no issue at all." I answered, clearly unsure of myself and what I was feeling at that point."Okay." He walked up to me and placed a kiss on my lips which I reciprocated. "I'll see you at the office. Don't be late buddy." He smiled at me before wa
DAVION."Sir are you listening?" Karla, my secretary asked jolting me back from my thoughts. I haven't been myself all morning especially not after what Olivia had said to me in her house. I just don't understand what she's so scared or afraid of. I thought that after she had accepted me as her friend Ricky she will be more open and more accommodating to me but the reverse has always been the case when it comes to Olivia.I really want her to know that I care about her but how can I do that when she wants absolutely nothing to do with me at this point I don't even know what to say to her that will make her understand that I am not like the men she has been with in her past. I am different but it's like she doesn't even believe me."Sir?" Karla called out again and I flinched. I looked around to see everyone in the meeting staring right back at me. Today is just not my day."What were you talk about again?" I asked and she looked at me as though I had said something abominable. My hea
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
