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.Davion picked up his keys and met me downstairs waiting for him. We both exited the house together and made our way towards the parking lot where we were approached by Ezra."Boss?" He called out looking confused as to why we were out here all alone. "Where are you going to? In case you've forgotten, it's past eleven pm and you're not supposed to be out here this late." He tried to admonish Davion."Thank you so much Ezra." I chimed in. "I told him that I could get back home by myself but he wouldn't listen to me. He insisted on driving me home even when I told him not to bother and take care of his wound instead. He doesn't listen to a thing anything anyone says so you shouldn't be surprised if he doesn't listen to you too.""Wait you want to go home by this time of the night?" He asked and I nodded yes. What was so wrong In going back by this time of the night? It's not like I have enemies lined up on the road waiting to attack me or something like that."Is there something
OLIVIA.The sound of my alarm clock jolted me back to reality. I groaned and open my eyes slowly to adjust the rays of sun passing through them. I looked around my room to take in everything beside me and familiarise myself with my environment. That was when it hit me that the sun had risen up already. I glanced at my alarm clock and I am surprised to find out that it's already past eight in the morning.Springing out of bed I grabbed my phone on my desk and turned it on to look at the screen. I am left in utter shock when I saw fifteen missed calls from Davion displayed there.How did I manage to sleep so late and why didn't I wake early despite the numerous sound from the alarm. Geez, today is going far worse than I imagined it.I quickly dashed into the bathroom to have my bath. When I was done I toweled my body dry and proceeded to apply lotion on my skin. All the while my eyes fixed on the clock hung on my bedroom wall. If I get any later than this then I am completely screwed.
OLIVIA.I looked at the picture closely, wondering why and how davian had a picture of me and why there was a little boy beside me in the picture as well. The only person who had this picture was my mum and that was a couple of years ago back when we were in Fredo. And if I could remember correctly mum has been hospitalized for a very long time and our house has been sealed up by the police so she couldn't have gotten this picture even if she wanted to so how and why was this picture here? What was I missing in all of this?I looked at the boy closely in the picture. His lips were on my cheeks while my eyes were closed in a happy laughter. The more I looked at him the more I started to put two and two together. The boy in the picture had curly hair and he was wearing a sleeveless shirt and shorts. I was clad in a floral gown and we're both seated at the edge of the flower bed in a garden.I recognise this garden to be farmer Jackson's garden. Who was Ricky's father at that time. They
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
