DAVION."Excuse me?" Davion asked, straightening himself from his seat. I swallowed when I realised that something was about to go down and it didn't look pleasant. This was exactly how Davion reacted the other time at the meeting when the lady called me a slut in presence of everyone. And he didn't think twice before barging into their company to give her a piece of his mind which later led to them firing her. Even I was scared of him when he was like this, in this particular mood."What did you just say to her?" He repeated."You don't have to be upset Davion." The man in question twirled his pen around his fingers as he spoke. "I didn't insult her. I only stated a fact. It had been circulating all over the internet and I only brought his to your knowledge.""If I needed rumours or facts from the internet, I have a board of marketing directors, media personnel willing to do just that for me with a snap of my fingers. Do you really think I needed you to open your mouth and spill rub
OLIVIA."Was that really necessary?" I asked as me and Davion made our way outside the room where we had just held the meeting that ended up badly as usual. "You didn't have to do that. You just got him fired from his job? Are you even listening to me Davion? I'm talking to you."He stopped at the elevator and turned to look at me while he waited for the doors to open. "And what do you want me to do about it? He not only tried to insult you but also tried to defame your character in front of me like he's some kind of saint." He rolled his eyes angrily."But still, I never asked you to take charge of it did I? I never asked you to fight for me. It was between us so why did you have to butt in?" I asked feeling exasperated. "You're always used to creating enemies Davion and I don't want that. Do you know what might happen if he decides to take it out on me? You never try to consider my feelings or emotions. You just do things as if it's your right when it isn't in the first place.""Ol
OLIVIA."Are you still working?" Mike ask as he made his way into my office. I raised up my head from my desk to look at him. He looked fully arranged with his suitcase on one hand while the other hand held onto the handle of the door for support."Yes I am. I still need to finish up some work on my desk. And judging by how things went at the meeting earlier I don't think it will be wise for me to go home now." I need down my fears and worries to him and he sympathised with me."Would you like me to wait for you so that I can give you a ride to your house later?" He inquired as his gaze pinned me down."I don't want to impose on you Mike. Besides don't you have other things to do at home. I don't want you missing out on anything just because you have chosen to wait for me.""Don't be such a cry baby. I'm the one asking you, am I not? A simple yes or no would do."I breathed out heavily. "Well if you insist then I'm not stopping you.""Of course I insist you annoying little child." He
OLIVIA."I cannot believe that you did that" Mike cheered me on the minute Davion was out of sight. "You literally just told the boss no and that you won't go home with him. Who are you and what have you done to Olivia?" Mike teased with a smug grin on his face. He looked like I was presenting a show and he was loving every bit of it. Remind me how I got to know this boy again because he was slowly getting on my nerves."And Olivia and I haven't done anything to me. And besides, weren't you the one who said that I should stay away from him as much as possible? He also told me to refuse should in case he asked me to drop me off at home and I shouldn't gave to his demands so why are you acting as if it wasn't your idea in the first place?"He gave me the look of confusion. "Careful dear honey. Why are you making it seem as if I'm the bad guy here? I only gave you an advice and suggestion to help you out of your present predicament. If you hadn't told me about your problem, do you thin
OLIVIA.I turned and tossed on my bed repeatedly but I still couldn't sleep. Somehow, I felt like one of the most hardest and most impossible task that I have ever attempted or done in my entire life.The more I try to shut my eyes the more I found them opening on their own. My mind kept on drifting to davian and what I have said to him earlier in the office today. I can't help but blame myself for turning him down in the manner in which I did but I couldn't help it. My hands were tied and besides Mike said that I should turn down all his advances of him trying to help me because it will only end badly.I was still struggling to get over the fact that he had fired the director because of me. What if word goes out that I was the cause of everything? how would I face anyone in the office without hiding in embarrassment or alter shame.Davion was a good guy but it still doesn't change the fact that he is my boss. And most office relationship never ends well. Because not only will people
OLIVIA.I panicked the minute his phone died. Part of me told me that this could be a prank to get me to come over to his house but then again there was an explosion so it couldn't completely be a prank. What is something bad had really happened to him?Davion was a lot of things but I knew that he wasn't someone that will joke with something as important as this. I have been struggling and trying my very best to sleep and now he has taken that away from me because at this point I was fucking restless as hell.I picked up my phone and tried calling but his number wasn't going through. I had been calling Davion for hours, but the line came back unanswered. Something didn't feel right. I knew how busy he could get, but this was unusual. I decided to check on him since I was off-duty for the day. I stood in front of the mirror and tried to tame my wild hair, but it wouldn't stay put. I let out a sigh and quickly rushed outside to grab an Uber.I managed to stop a taxi and as soon as I g
OLIVIA.I sat down frozen as David kept hugging me. I have no idea why you are refused to pull away and I couldn't pulling away either because he was hurt and I didn't want to Injure him further. We remained in that position as I was trying to figure out how he had landed himself in such an injury in the first place."How did this happen boss?" Asra proceeded to ask the same question that has been lingering in my mind for so long. "And why didn't you call the means to help you with whatever you were planning to do in the kitchen? why are you even here in the first place instead of your bedroom?""It's a long story Ezra but I promise to fill you on the details later and besides I just wanted to something for myself. It's not like I would use the maid for everything I do every single time would I?""You wouldn't. But look at what one time alone in the kitchen had cost you. You've never even boiled your own water by yourself so I'm still wondering why and how you manage to do all of thi
OLIVIA.I gave Davion a stern look and quickly pulled away from him. I cannot believe that he had kissed me again. This was supposed to be a situation of me helping him out and not him trying to take advantage of me. I know that it was an accident but somehow it felt like he didn't intentionally."I'm so sorry Olivia. I didn't mean to do whatever just happened right now. It was an accident and I'm honestly sorry. I would never intentionally do something that will make you get angry at me." He apologized so sincerely that I was forced to believe him. He might be right after all, it was just an honest mistake."Can you at least just sit still so that I can apply the antiseptic on your wound? I know that it might hurt a lot but the pain will only go away right after I promise." I assured him and he nodded his head in agreement. The rest of the dressing went okay and he didn't put up a fuss as he allowed me to carry out my duties efficiently. I was surprised that he finally managed to re
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
