OLIVIA.I bit down my lips nervously. What have I gotten myself into now? What prompted me to go into his room in the first place? How on earth did I get stuck with this guy again, in this bedroom, for the second time? What if someone realizes that I'm in here and decides to cause a rukus? How would I manage?"I have to go Davion. My friend is waiting for me." I tried to sway him into letting me leave but I knew that he wouldn't let me go. Davion had a mind of it's own and getting him to agree to any of this is just pointless."If she was then she'd be out searching for you by now.""And how would she find me when she has no idea that I'm here in your bedroom at the moment?" I threw him a fierce look."That's why you need to have coffee with me so that you can go and meet your friend. You were the one who willingly came into my bedroom, it's not like I forced you to." He turned to his table to set up the cups and mix the coffee."Trust me, they have the best coffee in this hotel. One
OLIVIA.I woke up the next day feeling tired and utterly disoriented and famished. Forcing my eyelids open, I realized that I had woken up on the bed. That's strange. I knew that I had slept on the couch the previous night so why and how did I end up here.I scanned the bedroom and spotted Davion on the couch. Did he give up his bed for me? Anxious, I double checked myself to see if something had happened between us last night. I mean we weren't drunk so there was no reason for something to happen to us but I didn't want to take any chances. The last time we were together alone, we had gotten intimate and it happened because both of us were drunk out of our minds.I rolled out of bed quietly so that I don't stir him awake and make for my flip flops. I wore them and tiptoed towards to the bed. I twisted the door knob and a certain kind of relief coursed through me when it gave way.Maybe he opened it himself while I was sleeping. Either ways, I'm grateful that he did. At least I won't
OLIVIA.I woke up feeling dreadful that it was Monday. The weekend had flown by so quickly and the thought of going back to work was daunting. I groaned as I reluctantly dragged myself out of bed and trudged into the bathroom.As I stood in the shower, I couldn't help but think about all the things I'd rather be doing than going to work. Maybe I could be lounging on a beach somewhere or binge-watching my favorite TV show. But no, I had to be an adult and go to work like everyone else.After my shower, I went through my usual morning routine of brushing my teeth and getting dressed. For work, I typically wear a professional yet comfortable outfit. Today was no exception. I opted for a navy blue pencil skirt that fell just above my knees, paired with a cream-colored blouse. The blouse had a delicate lace collar and a subtle pattern that added a touch of elegance to the overall look.I completed the outfit with a pair of black pumps, which were a staple in my work wardrobe. They were co
OLIVIA'S POV.I stood on the side of the road, my mind reeling with disbelief. I had just been fired from my job, and the shock of it was still resonating through every fiber of my being.As I stood there, lost in thought, I barely noticed the passing cars, their headlights blurring together into a chaotic mess of light and sound.And then, out of nowhere, a car swerved towards me, narrowly missing me as I stumbled back in shock. My heart was pounding in my chest, and I could feel my breath coming in short, sharp gasps.For a moment, I was frozen in place, my mind struggling to catch up with the reality of what had just happened. But as the car sped off into the distance, I knew that I needed to pull myself together.With shaky legs, I stumbled over to a nearby bench and collapsed onto it, my head in my hands. The world around me seemed to be spinning, the sounds of traffic and the smell of exhaust fumes all blending together into an overwhelming cacophony.As I sat there, trying to g
OLIVIA'S POV.I took a deep breath and looked up at the plaque on the wall once more. My eyes scanned Davion's face, and I felt bile rise in my throat. I couldn't work for a man like him, no matter how much money he promised to pay me."I quit," I said, my voice coming out stronger than I thought it would.The woman who had been interviewing me raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me?""I said I quit," I repeated, feeling a surge of satisfaction. "I don't want to work for a company with a bratty and pompous CEO."The woman seemed taken aback, as though she had never heard of such a thing before. "But... you haven't even started working yet.""I don't care," I said, my tone firm. "I refuse to be a part of this company."I grabbed my bag and stood up, my heart pounding. I had no idea what I was going to do now, but I knew that I couldn't work for Davion. As I stomped out of the building, I cursed Karma for always coming my way. Why couldn't I catch a break?I didn't stop walking until I was a goo
OLIVIA’S POVAs I walked into the company, I could already feel the frustration building up inside me. I had already been turned down by so many companies, and it was beginning to feel like I would never get a job. The thought of going through another rejection made my heart ache.I tried to hold back my tears, but I couldn't. I felt so weak and vulnerable. The workers looked at me with concern, but I just wanted to be left alone. I walked past them, trying to keep my head down, but I couldn't help but feel their eyes on me."Is everything okay?" one of them asked."Mind your business!" I yelled back, feeling frustrated and embarrassed. I stormed off, not even looking back to see their reactions.As I walked out of the building, my tears began to flow freely. I couldn't believe I had yelled at those workers like that. They were just trying to help, but I couldn't see past my frustration.I took a deep breath and tried to compose myself, but my heart was still racing. I didn't know wha
Olivia’s POVAs I walked away from Davion, I could feel his eyes on my back. His voice calling out to me made me more irritated. I wanted to scream at him and make him understand that he wasn't welcome in my life anymore.I felt my rage building up inside me as I thought of everything he had done to me. How he had lied and betrayed me. I felt sick to my stomach when I saw him standing in front of my apartment building. I tried to ignore him, hoping that he would leave me alone, but he kept calling out to me.I turned around to face him and saw that he was walking towards me. I felt my hands clench into fists, and I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. I didn't want to talk to him. I didn't want to see him again. I just wanted him to go away.But he didn't listen to me. He kept knocking on my door, and I could hear his voice calling out to me. I felt like I was going to explode. I didn't want to let him in, but a part of me was curious to know what he wanted to say.I took a deep
OLIVIA.I couldn't believe my ears. When I had accepted to take on this job, I had no idea that he would fire his secretary to replace her."Why would you fire her?" I asked wide eyed. When he had offered to give me this job, I wasn't expecting to be replacing anyone. Sometimes, I just couldn't understand what was going through that head of his."She's only an assistant." He pointed out nonchalantly. "And so far, she hasn't been doing her job properly. You'll take over from her for the time being and if you're able to impress me with your works then, I'll offer you a promotion to a higher position.""But still.." I took few steps towards his table. "Firing her was too sudden. What if she never finds another job? What if this was her only source of income? You can't just expect her to pick herself up and move." I never expected to see this side of Davion. He had always come onto me like someone sweet and caring and not once did I think that he would act like this.He was always the on
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
