last update Huling Na-update: 2025-01-10 03:54:22

Olive sat in the cramped seat of the plane, her fingers tracing the outline of the leather handbag resting on her lap. She had only packed the essentials—clothes, a few personal items, and the lingering sense of uncertainty about what awaited her back in Chicago. For the first time in days, she felt a small but real sense of calm. She had made up her mind. New York was where she wanted to build her life. It would be her escape, her fresh start.

The past three days in New York had done something for her—brought her peace, gave her space, and allowed her to breathe. The messages from her father had only confirmed that there was no going back to the life she had known. She wasn’t the same woman who had left Chicago, and she never would be again.

As the plane touched down in Chicago, Olive stared out of the window, unsure of what she was walking into. It was hot for the middle of the afternoon, and the heat pressed against the window as the aircraft taxied to the gate. She had no intention of sticking around for long. She would visit the hospital, confront whatever issues needed addressing, and then leave this city behind for good.

With only a small handbag in hand, Olive stepped off the plane and made her way to the hospital. The weight of her decision was heavy, but she had already come this far. She could deal with whatever came next.

She entered the sterile white walls of the hospital, taking a deep breath to steady herself. A nurse directed her to the waiting room. There, she sat, tapping her fingers impatiently against her knee. The time seemed to drag on, and Olive could feel the eyes of those around her, curious and judgmental.

Minutes later, the door opened, and Raymond Stone walked in. The air around him shifted, like the atmosphere had suddenly thickened. He was taller than she remembered, his broad shoulders filling the doorway. His piercing gaze swept over her, and his expression hardened when he recognized her.

“Well, well, well. Look who we have here,” Raymond’s voice was sharp, cutting through the silence like a knife.

Olive raised her eyes to meet his, her pulse quickening. This was the same man she bumped into at the airport, what's he doing here? 

“If you want money, I can give it to you,” Raymond continued, his voice dripping with condescension. “But you need to stop stalking me.”

The words hit Olive like a slap across the face. Her lips tightened, and her gaze hardened. “Excuse me, Mr. Suit,” she replied, her voice smooth but laced with venom. “I’m not here to beg for your money. So save your assumptions.”

Raymond’s eyes flashed with irritation, I am Raymond stones not suit he warned. He simply turned and moved to stand across from her, arms crossed.

Olive felt the tension in the room thickening, but she didn’t back down. She wasn’t the naive woman she once was. She wasn’t going to let anyone intimidate her anymore, especially not him.

Just then, the door opened again, and Dr. Harris walked in, looking between the two of them with a puzzled expression.

“Miss Olive, thank you for coming in today,” Dr. Harris began, his voice professional yet warm. “We need to discuss the results of your recent tests.”

Olive’s heart skipped a beat. The memories of the test she had taken three weeks ago rushed back to her. She wasn’t sure what to expect, but she knew it wouldn’t be good.

“Please, Dr. Harris, get to the point,” Olive said, cutting him off. “I have other family matters to attend to.”

Dr. Harris nodded, acknowledging her impatience. He turned to Raymond briefly before focusing back on Olive.

“Miss Olive, we’d like to run a pregnancy test on you,” Dr. Harris said, his tone serious. “We’ve encountered a situation regarding the child you may be carrying.”

Olive’s brow furrowed. “A pregnancy test?” she repeated, unsure of what the doctor meant.

“Yes,” Dr. Harris continued, “We have reason to believe you may be carrying Mr. Stone’s child.”

The words hit Olive with the force of a freight train. She froze, her mind going blank.

“What?” Raymond scoffed, his disbelief ringing out in the otherwise silent room. “This arrogant girl? Carrying my child? That’s impossible.”

Olive felt her heart slam against her chest. A whirlwind of emotions swirled within her, but she refused to show any weakness. She forced herself to speak, though her voice trembled. “I’m pregnant,” she said, the words leaving her mouth before she could stop them. “And I’m being summoned by my fiancé to compensate him for time wasted.”

The sting of Frank’s accusation flashed in her mind, but she shoved it away. This was about something bigger now—something she couldn’t ignore.

“And I don’t want this child,” Olive added, her voice growing stronger. “That’s why I’m here. I want to terminate it.”

Raymond’s face twisted into an expression of fury, his jaw tightening as he glared at her. He took a step forward, his fists clenching. “You can’t be serious,” he growled. “You think you can just get rid of my child like it’s nothing?”

Olive didn’t flinch. “I don’t owe you anything, Mr. Stone. I don’t owe anyone anything. This is my body, and I’ll make the choice for myself.”

Dr. Harris cleared his throat, breaking the heavy tension that had settled between them. “Miss Olive, I must remind you that abortion procedures are only performed when the father of the child agrees. Legally, we cannot proceed without his consent.”

Olive’s gaze flickered toward Raymond, whose eyes burned with anger. But she didn’t care. She was done letting others dictate her life.

“Well, I don’t need your consent,” she said, her voice icy. “I’m not asking for permission. I’m telling you what I’m doing.”

Raymond let out a low growl, his patience wearing thin. “You have no idea who you’re dealing with, do you?”

Olive stood her ground, her resolve unshaken. “I’m not afraid of you, Mr. Stone. And I’m certainly not afraid of the man who thinks he owns my life.”

For a moment, they stared at each other, the tension thick in the air. Finally, Raymond spoke, his voice cold and filled with contempt. “We’ll see about that.”

Dr. Harris cleared his throat again, clearly uncomfortable with the exchange. “I suggest we schedule the test for another time,” he said, his voice steady but urgent. “We can discuss your options then.”

Olive nodded, her gaze not leaving Raymond. She had made her decision. She didn’t need anyone’s approval. She was done being controlled.

As the room fell silent, Olive turned and walked out of the waiting area, leaving both Raymond and Dr. Harris behind. Her heart pounded in her chest.

  • Accidentally yours   CHAPTER 6: COURTROOM DRAMA

    Olive left the hospital with a heavy heart. The encounter with Raymond Stone was still fresh in her mind, but she couldn’t dwell on it. She had more pressing issues to deal with. As she hailed a cab to the courthouse, her thoughts raced. She had to face Frank, her ex-fiancé, and his ridiculous demands. The very idea of compensating him for “wasting his time” felt absurd, but Olive knew she had to remain calm and strong. The courthouse loomed ahead, and as the cab stopped, Olive paid the driver and stepped out. She saw her lawyer, Henry Porter, waiting for her near the entrance. Helen gave her a reassuring smile, but Olive’s attention was quickly drawn to the two figures standing near the steps—Frank and her sister, Delilah. Delilah spotted her first and smirked, her eyes filled with mockery. She stepped forward, holding an envelope. “Oh, dear sister,” she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm, “you’re just in time. I have something special for you.” Delilah tossed the envelope at

  • Accidentally yours   CHAPTER 7: FIGHT FOR CONTROL

    Olive stared at her phone after ending the call with Dr. Harris. Her chest tightened with anger, frustration, and disbelief. The audacity of the situation was overwhelming, and the very idea of carrying Raymond Stone’s child felt like a cruel joke. She had been an unwilling participant in someone else’s mistake. The fact that she had been accidentally inseminated with Raymond Stone’s child felt like a violation of her very being.“Surrogacy mistake,” she muttered bitterly. “As if that excuses anything.”She got up from the couch and paced the living room, her thoughts spiraling. “How could they confuse me with someone else?” she muttered. “This is my life they’re playing with!”At the same time, Dr. Harris sat in his office, staring at his phone. His palms were sweaty as he replayed Olive’s words in his mind: “Pretend it never happened. I’m terminating this child.”Before he could gather his thoughts, his phone buzzed again. The name on the screen made his stomach drop—Raymond Stone.

    Olive watched Daniel sip his coffee with deliberate calmness, his demeanor completely unbothered. The aroma of the coffee wafted toward her, and she frowned, her stomach turning. She didn’t know whether it was the smell or the situation itself, but everything about this moment felt wrong.“This feels like a waste of time,” Olive muttered under her breath, drumming her fingers on the table.Daniel glanced up from his cup, his expression unreadable. “I know you feel that way, Miss Bennett, but this meeting isn’t about wasting time. It’s about finding a resolution to this… complicated matter.”“Complicated?” she scoffed, leaning back in her chair. “That’s one way to describe it. I’d use a different word.”The smell of the coffee grew stronger as Daniel lifted the cup again, and Olive’s stomach churned violently. Her face turned pale, and she shot to her feet without another word, rushing to the restroom.Inside, she barely made it to the sink before the bile rose, and she retched uncontr

  • Accidentally yours   CHAPTER 9: LAST SEMEN

    Olive’s thoughts swirled around her, too rapid for her to make sense of them. Her mind kept drifting back to Raymond’s unexpected appearance in her hospital room, his words lingering even as the pain in her head grew stronger. I don’t need you, she had whispered, but the truth was, part of her wanted him to stay. She closed her eyes, trying to escape the confusion in her heart, but exhaustion overcame her, and her eyelids fluttered shut, pulling her into a deep, dreamless sleep.The night passed in a blur, and as the first light of dawn crept into the room, the quiet was broken by a gentle knock on the door. A nurse entered, her presence calm and reassuring. She checked the monitors by Olive’s bed, adjusting the drip and checking her vitals.But something was wrong.The nurse’s brow furrowed as she noticed Olive’s temperature climbing. She pressed her fingers to Olive’s forehead, confirming the rising fever. Without wasting a moment, she called for assistance, and soon, a team of doct

  • Accidentally yours   CHAPTER 10: BE A REAL MAN

    Raymond sat still, his gaze fixed on Olive as she lay unconscious in the bed, the rhythmic beep of the machines the only sound filling the sterile room. He had been here for hours, watching over her, but his mind was far from peaceful. Olive’s condition had stabilized, but the unease he felt gnawed at him. There were too many questions swirling in his head, too many things he didn’t understand about what was happening to him, to her, and to the child she carried. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something bigger than him was at play, something that threatened to unravel everything.His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening, and in walked the doctor. The man looked at him with a serious expression, his lips tight.“Mr. Raymond,” he said, glancing at Olive briefly before returning his attention to Raymond. “I need to speak with you in my office. It’s about Olive’s condition. There’s something important we need to discuss.”Raymond’s brow furrowed, his concern for

  • Accidentally yours   CHAPTER 11: BEING WATCHED

    Olive was finally discharged from the hospital. The sun’s warmth touched her skin. The doctor had assured her that her condition was stable, but she needed rest and proper care. She stepped out clutching the small bag. She couldn’t bring herself to thank him. After all, her life was a mess because of him. Outside, a sleek black sedan waited. A uniformed driver stepped out, offering a polite nod as he opened the car door. “Miss Olive, Mr. Raymond has asked me to take you to the penthouse.” Olive hesitated, She had always been independent, and this sudden reliance on Raymond’s resources felt suffocating. After a moment of internal debate, she refused to entered the car, deciding she can stay on her own and do better. “Tell Mr. Raymond I can take care of myself.” Olive said to the driver. The driver’s brow furrowed, but Olive didn’t wait for his reply. She turned on her heels and hailed a cab, her resolve hardening. She wouldn’t let Raymond or anyone else control her. The ride to

  • Accidentally yours   CHAPTER 12: AT HIS PENTHOUSE

    Olive packed her belongings in silence, her small apartment growing eerily quiet as the evening deepened. Her heart ached with every item she placed into the suitcase; this had been her refuge, her sanctuary during trying times. Now, she was being uprooted, thrust into a life she didn’t want but couldn’t escape.A sharp knock at the door startled her. Was the driver here already? She glanced out the window and saw the black car pulling up, the driver only just stepping out.Her stomach knotted as she approached the door. Another knock sounded, more insistent this time. Olive hesitated before unlocking it and pulling it open, her eyes darting into the dimly lit hallway.No one was there.Her breath hitched. The corridor was empty, save for the faint shuffle of the driver approaching the building. She leaned out slightly, her gaze scanning the shadows.“Did you knock just now?” she asked as the driver reached her door, his expression neutral.He shook his head. “No, Miss Olive. I only j

    “Sir Raymond, Miss Olive has arrived at the mansion safely,” the housekeeper’s voice came through the phone. “She’s settled in and well taken care of.”“Good,” Raymond replied, his tone brisk. “Make sure everything she needs is provided.”The call ended, but Raymond’s mind lingered on Olive. He leaned back in his chair, his office dimly lit except for the desk lamp that illuminated the mountain of paperwork in front of him.Despite his focus on work, her face kept slipping into his thoughts. He smirked, recalling the doctor’s earlier words:"You need to engage her in sexual activities to strengthen her pelvic walls for the child."Raymond shook his head, chuckling softly to himself. The idea amused him, but it also planted a dangerous thought in his mind.With a sigh, he pushed Olive out of his head and returned to the matter at hand. His phone buzzed on the desk, pulling him away from his work.It was a text message from Olive:"Please, I need the documents of your real surrogate mo

  • Accidentally yours   CHAPTER 68: SUFFER FIRST

    Olive’s breath came in shallow gasps, but she refused to let her exhaustion show. Her body ached from the bruises, her limbs heavy with fatigue, yet her spirit stood unyielding. Her narrowed eyes locked onto Mia, who loomed over her like a predator savoring its prey."What do you want?" Olive’s voice, though hoarse, cut through the tense air like a blade.Mia smirked. "Still defiant? After everything?" She crouched slightly, her dark eyes gleaming with amusement. "That’s what I like about you, Olive. Even at your lowest, you still pretend to have control."Olive didn’t flinch. She wouldn’t. If she gave in now, it was over.Mia sighed dramatically. "You really are a stubborn little thing." Her gaze flickered to Olive’s stomach for a fraction of a second—barely noticeable, but Olive caught it.A chill ran down her spine.The unspoken threat in Mia’s stare sent ice through her veins, but she swallowed down her fear, keeping her face unreadable.Mia noticed. "Oh? That struck a nerve, didn

    “You will soon find out.” Raymond’s face tightened, his teeth grinding together. Mia’s words kept repeating in his head. They sounded like a warning, or maybe even a threat. Take him to the car. Let him see his beloved. Mia grinned as she walked away gracefully. Kain and Kerah exchanged silent glances before signaling the men to drag him forward. They held him tightly and made him walk to the car. He barely resisted as they shoved him into the backseat, wedging him between two towering brutes. The car door shut loudly, trapping him inside. The engine roared as the car sped away. The interior was silent, the only sound the hum of the wheels on the road. The city lights faded behind them, and the earlier rain had left the weather dark and quiet. Raymond’s heart pounded, his mind racing with worry. Olive.He hadn’t forgotten why he was here. Raymond seethed with anger, his fingers twitching as he tested the ropes binding him. His captors remained silent, but he could feel th

  • Accidentally yours   CHAPTER 66: NOT OUR FIGHTS

    Raymond stares at Kain, his breath catching as memories flood back.A flashback to the family meeting: Mia introducing Kain as her "long-lost brother." His grandfather had insisted he help his "future brother-in-law" by offering him a job. Raymond had refused because Kain didn’t meet the basic requirements—he doesn’t do business based on favoritism; one must merit it. That was the first and last time he saw him.Now, standing before him, the pieces fall into place. The doctor’s face from the video surveillance—the man involved in Olive’s kidnapping—was Kain.His stomach twists. If Kain is here, that means Mia might be involved too.Raymond’s mind races, connecting his past search to his discoveries in Mia’s interactions with the fake Sonia. He had always suspected Mia, but now, with Kain in the picture, her role becomes even more suspicious.Was she working with them all along? Was everything—her concern, her visits—just an act?His blood runs cold. If Mia is involved, then she’s doin

    Raymond parked his SUV outside Wilston Warehouse. The rain had slowed to a gentle drizzle, but the sky remained dark.He gripped the steering wheel tightly. His heart pounded hard. He glanced in the mirror. There was no car or any trace of people coming. It was just him here.Something felt wrong.With a deep breath, he grabbed the document and stepped out. The rain kissed his skin with little droplets. It felt cold as ice, but that didn't matter right now.His thoughts kept drifting back to how Olive would be right now, and silently he hoped that after submitting this document, there wouldn't be any more requests.Raymond pushed the big door open. It creaked loudly, the sound echoing in the empty warehouse.Boxes and crates were stacked high, covered in dust. Rusty tools hung from the walls. The place smelled like metal and old wood.His footsteps echoed with every step. The warehouse felt empty."Olive?" he called. His voice bounced off the walls, but no one answered.Drip. Drip. Dr

  • Accidentally yours   CHAPTER 64: DO A CLEAN JOB

    Mr. Logan arrived at Raymond’s penthouse, clutching a leather-bound folder containing every copy of the Golden Island estate documents.Raymond stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, his silhouette framed against the city’s shimmering skyline. He didn’t turn when Logan approached, but the tension in his shoulders was a dead giveaway. He already knew why Logan was there.“Here it is,” Logan said quietly, placing the folder on the glass coffee table. “Every copy… as you asked.”Raymond inhaled deeply, letting the weight of the moment settle over him. For years, Golden Island had been more than an estate; it was the heart of his empire—his blood, his sweat, his identity. Trading it away felt like carving out a piece of his soul. His hands trembled slightly as he opened the folder.His eyes skimmed over the documents, but the words blurred into a haze. His chest tightened. He blinked rapidly, willing away the sting of emotion. There was no time for weakness. Not now.A flicker of memory s

    Raymond paced back and forth on the dock, his shoes echoing loudly in the empty space. The wind howled, creating a mournful sound as it swept through the old metal beams. Despite the sun shining brightly, a cold sensation churned in his stomach.He couldn’t stop thinking about what was happening. His team stood a few feet away, staring at their phones with worried expressions. They were all thinking the same thing: What’s going on?Raymond stopped pacing and gazed out at the water. He checked his watch for what felt like the hundredth time.He started walking again, his mind racing with worst-case scenarios. What if something had happened to Olive?He wasn’t sure he could forgive himself if it had.“History can’t repeat itself,” he whispered under his breath. “The woman I love has to live. She can’t die. Not again.”His team glanced at him, their eyes filled with unspoken questions. But Raymond had no answers. All he could do was wait and hope that everything was okay.The wind kept b

    Delilah leaned against the cold brick wall, one leg bent as she twirled a lock of hair between her fingers. The phone was pressed to her ear, her lips curling into a knowing smirk as the line connected.“Hello, Frank.”There was silence which was long enough for her to picture the way his jaw would tighten.Then, his voice came through as he said “What do you want, Delilah?” in a sharp and impatient tone.Her smirk deepened. Oh, how she loved getting under his skin. “Oh, come on, don’t be so grumpy. I have good news.”Frank’s scoff was immediate. “Good news?” He sounded incredulous, his anger barely restrained. “After all the losses I’ve taken because of you?”Delilah rolled her eyes, tapping her nails against the phone. “Oh, don’t start. I’m fixing everything.”“Fixing it?” Frank snapped. “Because of you I lost properties, money and even trust from my families”She sighed, cutting him off before he could launch into one of his never-ending rants. “Olive is here.”For a brief seconds

    "We will check to see how long," Ethan responded.Ezra sighed lazily as he crossed his arms against his chest, his eyes fixed on Olive, who sat oblivious to their presence. Olive was now so weak that she couldn’t even sense how many people were in the room. She was almost slipping into a coma.Ezra shifted uneasily. “So, what’s your plan?”Ethan didn’t answer right away. His gaze remained locked on Olive, his expression unreadable. Finally, he said, “Let’s watch first. But Mia must not hurt her.”Ezra scoffed, dropping his arms from his chest. “And if she does?”“You have to stop her. This wasn’t the plan, but I don’t care anymore. All I need to find out is if she’s truly our sister. If she is, this mission has to be aborted.”Ezra exhaled sharply, his skepticism evident. Ethan had always been the strategist, the one who thought five steps ahead. That trait had been the reason for their issues with Raymond, but now, him giving it up meant he was truly invested in uncovering what had

    "That's enough, Ezra," Ethan called out. He stood in the room, watching Olive like he was seeing something that wasn’t supposed to be there. His chest tightened, but he forced himself to stay still.Ezra stood beside him, leaning against the wall with an impatient look. He was checking his phone, barely paying attention. Ethan licked his lips, hesitating for just a second before speaking."Doesn’t she look like Mom?"Ezra barely reacted. He let out a short, dry chuckle without looking up. "Are you serious?" His tone was flat, dismissive.Ethan’s fingers curled into his palms. His throat felt dry. "Look at her properly."Ezra finally lifted his gaze, scanning Olive for barely a second before shaking his head. "You’re overthinking."Ethan swallowed. His pulse was steady, but his thoughts weren’t. "No. I know what I’m saying."Ezra rolled his eyes and turned away. "We buried her, Ethan. Our sister is dead."Ethan’s stomach twisted. He glanced at Olive again. The resemblance wasn’t just i
