OLIVIA.We finished having dinner but I still couldn't get my mind off what Davion had just said. Even though I didn't want to admit it he was right on so many levels. I have just been hurting myself unnecessarily. Clinton doesn't care about me and no matter what I do or who I hate, the fact still remains that we are divorced and there was nothing I could do about it.He had hurt me and I must have been foolish enough to put my life on hold because of his own mistakes. I wasn't even at fault so why should I bear the consequences for his own actions? why should I carry his troubles along with mine?All these while, I had been blaming myself for what had gone on between us. I kept on telling myself that maybe, just maybe if I had put in a little more effort, if I had tried to be the perfect wife that he wanted me to be then we wouldn't have gotten to where we are now but that wasn't the case at all.The fact of the matter is that I still couldn't move on from everything that has happe
OLIVIA.I woke up for the umpteenth time and paced around my room tirelessly. I had no idea on what to do. I was certain that I was over whatever that had happened between us in the garden but now, I just didn't know anymore. What is wrong with me?Why am I being so restless and afraid? It's just Davion isn't it? It's not like it's someone else so why couldn't I just bring myself to move past the kiss that we both shared.Does he also feel the same way that I feel right now or am I the only one getting worked up about this? I bit down on my lips nervously. I stared at my closed door. My heart racing massively. I won't try to hide from this anymore. I'm done trying to run away from this.With that resolution in mind, I walked to the door and unlocked the door. I walked up to his room. I am about to knock on his door when he opened it."Olivia, what are you doing here?" He asked and I averted my gaze."I couldn't sleep and you?" I proceeded to ask."I can't sleep too." He confessed."C
OLIVIA .My back hit the bed and I pulled him closer to me. I joined our lips together in a kiss, causing him to flinch. But he didn't pull away and kissed me back. What started simple, quickly escalated into something wild and feverent.He snatched his lips away from mine and I suddenly felt cold "This isn't right Olivia. You might end up hating me by tomorrow. I don't want to take advantage of you and definitely don't want you to hate me after this. Are you certain that you want to go through with this?"Advantage? I'd be stupid if I didn't admit that I wanted this too. My whole body was practically on fire and he hasn't even touched me yet."I want this too." My voice came out thready and in need "Please Davion. I want you. I don't want to think about what might or the consequences. Tonight, I just want to think about myself and enjoy the feel of everything so please, make me feel good."Without hesitation, he reached for my panties and rubbed on my center."Request granted!" He b
OLIVIA.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 so was Davion too. oh dear Lord!I got out of the bed and slowly made my way into the bathroom. I stood under the shower and turned it on, letting the water work it's way down my body. I scrubbed and washed myself then spent an extra twenty minutes under the shower just letting the water pour on my skin. My mind kept playing back to what happened last night. Part of me enjoyed everything and the other part was a bit confused and worried.Many minutes passed but I was still stuck in the bathroom. The idea of staying he
DAVION.Olivia saying those words to me was something that I never expected. I thought that last night had cemented something between us and I thought that she would finally see me for who I was and I thought that I had finally unlocked the key to her heart but I guess I was wrong. Hearing her say those words felt as if a dagger has been driven into my heart. I never expected her to do something like that and in the cruelest way possible.The only reason I brought her home last night was because I wanted her to see me for who I was. I wanted her to know that I wasn't like the other men that protrayed themselves to be good but turned out to be the opposite of what they were. I wanted her to see that my closet was empty and that I had nothing to hide.When she decided to share her secret with me the other night, I felt elated. I was glad that for the first time since I got to know her, she was opening up to me and it made me believe that we were actually going somewhere with our relati
OLIVIA."You can do this Olivia. Everything will be fine. I mean, you only had sex with him. it's not like its the end of the world or something right? and also, you both are adults so it was consensual. He didn't force you and you didn't force him as well. Everything went willingly and smoothly and it wasn't that bad so he won't get upset neither will he fire you and he possibly will just get over what you said this morning so you don't have to be afraid of anything okay?"Those were the words I kept chanting to myself as I stared at the full length mirror in my bedroom. What was I even thinking saying those words to him? I mean he didn't do anything wrong. maybe I just panicked or maybe I just didn't want to go all out or take a step further with things. Maybe I rushed. I mean at first, we were talking and laughing and the next thing we were kissing and going all out. What was I supposed to do? Clinton and I have been separated for months now. I haven't had sex for a while and so w
OLIVIA.I was seated in my office going through files when the landline rang. Even without picking it up, I knew who was calling. It was Davion. He has been calling my phone but I have refused to pick up the phone and now he has resorted to calling the company's line instead. Just when I was about to be thankful that he had not reach out to me all morning and now he suddenly has.My thoughts were scattered all over the place. I didn't know what to expect or what to do should in case I picked up that phone. What exactly does he want to tell me? I had already told him what I felt about last night and I thought that he would take the initiative to leave me alone but I guess that I was wrong. I could feel my heart beat increase ten times the normal rate. I never anticipated talking to him all day and even if I did, I never expected it to be so soon.I panicked in fear when the call came on again for the third time. I watched it ring and after a few minutes of contemplating if I should ta
OLIVIA.Davion's words broke me beyond imagination. He even likened me to be worse than my ex-husband. How could he say something like that to me? He knew just how much that topic was sensitive and he had to bring it up at a time like this. Does he really think everything going on right now isn't affecting me as well? I'm equally hurt and the fact that I try my best not to show it doesn't mean that everything is okay. He could have said anything else other than likening our situation to that of my ex-husband and I."I am nothing like my ex-husband." I said begrudgingly. "And simply because I had refused to give in to you doesn't mean that you can compare my situation to that of my ex-husband's."He laughed. "But that's the truth isn't it? You are like him if not worse than him. You keep going on about how he treated you and how you made your life miserable but can't you see they're doing the exact same thing? You had sex with me and then went ahead to pretend as if nothing happened b
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
