OLIVIA.From where I stood I could see him internally battling himself. I could tell that he had a lot to say but didn't know how to begin or how to say them to me. He looked like he had been caught doing the unthinkable. With each step he took around his room I could see his forehead crease in worry as he tried his possible best to tell me what I wanted to know. But the more he kept quiet the most suspicious I was becoming. What have I been missing out all these times that we were together? Why wasn't I able to put the pieces together? Was there even a piece to put together or is there more to what he's hiding that means the eye?"Are you going to say something or are you just going to stand there and fight your demons as though I am not standing in front of you?" I asked but he only sighed deeply. If he keeps this up then there is no telling what I might do in front of him right now."I've always wondered why you kept on sticking around. I've always wondered why you kept on helping
OLIVIA.I ran my fingers over the picture. I still couldn't believe it. My mind played back to when we were little and how we always run around the farm and open fields even when dad had asked me countless times not to be caught in the farm or playing in the mud but still I defied his wishes every time and always make sure to have a blast when I was with Ricky.He was my best friend and everything flowed naturally when I was with him. We were only kids but deep down I knew that it went beyond that for me. I have always liked Ricky that was the reason why I couldn't stay away even when dad had forced me to.Ricky was not only my best friend but he was my confidant my safe space and the only one who understood my plight and didn't judge me. He was the only one who made friendship look so easy and that was the reason why we clicked so suddenly. And to think that we became friends because he had caught me wandering into his mother's flowers bed. I still remember it as though it were yest
OLIVIA.I could see the surprised look on Davion's face when I had hugged him. He was shocked to see that I was not angry and that I was very calm despite everything that he had just told me. But how could I be though. I was finally reunited with my best friend of my childhood so how on earth does he expect me to get angry at that fact?If anything, I was very happy. I couldn't process the happiness that coursed through me at the moment. Every fibre of my being and every nerve ending in my entire body had woken up to this news of Davion being alive and standing in front of me right now. I never thought that I missed him this much until he said it himself that he was my Ricky. I felt so happy to see that it was indeed him.I pulled away from the hug and brought my face to meet his. He looked like he could pass at any moment because he didn't understand the expression I had on my face. I could tell that he was somewhat scared and that he couldn't process my actions properly but I didn'
OLIVIA.I arrived at my office full of smiles and continue the rest of my work that I had left behind. During lunch, I couldn't help but count the hours that were left before closure of work. I couldn't wait for me to go home and start getting prepped for dinner with Davion. This dinner isn't going to be like anything that we have ever had before. It's going to be more special and more fulfilling for the both of us. We we are going to catch up and I couldn't wait for it to happen. I feel like time should just get on with it already because I was already feeling impatient."And here's my bitch smiling like she just won a trophy and a trip to a vacation in Vegas" Mike said in his usual condescending tone as he approached my table with his lunch. He placed his tray on the table and proceeded to take a seat opposite mine. "So why is my baby all happy today? Did something happen that I should know about?""Why do you always want me to spill the tea.""Because, you came in to work today lo
OLIVIA.I finished having lunch with Mike at the cafeteria and made my way back to my office after a little chitchat. Mike was of the opinion that I took things slow and that I shouldn't rush anything for the time being. He even told me to take my time and process everything first before getting into any commitment with Davion. I promised to heed to his advice and make sure that my head is leveled and my emotions aren't all over the place.I arrived at my office full of smiles and started with the other tasks I had at hand, while counting for the hours to roll by immediately.Finally, it was time for me to knock off from work. I happily packed my things into my bag and rearranged my desk for the third time that evening before heading out to Davion's office. I arrived and knocked on the door. He ushered me in when he realized that I was the one at the door. I got into his office to find out that he was on an online meeting with some partners and investors in other countries.He took a
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.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
