“Can we talk?” He solemnly said while staring at her eyes to wait for her response.
“Do we have anything to talk about? I clearly said we both have nothing to do with each other. Lionel, let us go ”
Olivia pulled him along with her and got confused when he refused to follow her. She turned her head and saw him looking at Anthony.“Don't be a stubborn boy and obey your mother. Let us go ”
“Mom, I had a talk with him and he is truly sorry. Why don't you two work things out?”
She immediately covered his mouth to stop him from sprouting nonsense, gave him the stink eyes and adjusted to Anthony.“You have five minutes and only because Lionel begged ” She placed Lionel in her car and locked the door. Going to a far distance, she followed Anthony and sat on the bench. They both were silent for some second before Anthony mustered the courage to speak.
“How is the baby?”
<Let the young man speak would you, Rylee? ” His father shun her up while Anthony made way to the table and sat Olivia on the chair. A battle did not look like it would finish soon.So he had to make sure she had eaten well and then start the unfinished battle.“You! Honey, you accept what he said? We can't allow her to marry our son! There are better women that have not divorced their husband than her. ”She scoffed and sat on the chair with her hands folded in anger. She did not like to see the both of them together, it just did not feel good to him. They both waited for their father's command as they always do any time they were caught in an argument.“I guess you must be?”“Olivia, Sir. ”“That is a lovely name. From what I have heard now, you are a divorcée. So what exactly happened that you divorced your ex husband?”Olivia cleared her throat as Anthony gave her a light squee
Anthony removed his hands gradually from hers. His heart shattered into millions of broken pieces because of her words. What went wrong? Weren't they not loving each other a second ago?Why is she refusing to marry him?“What do you mean, my love?”“It is just that marriage isn't a thing to rush into. It could cause a lot of scar on our physical and mental health too. Let us not forget about the children. They can't afford to have a divorced father and mother ”“You are just afraid that is all. Any scar that was inflicted on you is in the past. This is the present. I am not Xu Haoka that will hurt you, I am Anthony, and I will love and cherish you forever ”“But........Anthony I really can't do it. I am truly sorry! I can't marry you. It is not you, it is me. I have not recovered yet from the last marriage, so I am kinda scared. What if it doesn't go well, what if .........”“What if I say
His eyes turned red as his fist clenched tighter. Now another suspect was in the list, Audrey and the anonymous psycho. This just did not make sense. He had made such that the contract was devoid and destroyed when they confessed their love for each other, how did it suddenly pop up?“That could be possible. Alexa, for now can you keep a low profile and agree to take the guards I employed for you?” He pleaded with her.Ray had proposed the thought of getting her guards for her safety but anytime he brings up the idea, she frowns and changes the topic to another one.“Ray, I don't think it is that important to have bunch of men following me around. Maybe one or two is okay. I don't mind ”“If you agree then I can't...... ” He paused and looked at his phone which vibrated continuously. He had a disdainful look on his face.Alexa placed her left palm on the back of his hand and smiled.“You can go. I can ta
“Father did this to me. I don't feel comfortable here. I just want to ask a little favor from you. I know you hate me for my past gestures towards you, and I totally get if you hate me back as well.” After much pleading, they went into the car and locked it shut with the window tightened.She sighed and faced her with regret. She never knew that he would go to the extent of abusing his own daughter.“What went wrong exactly? You have always been his most precious child, how did it all change?” She asked worriedly. Her own scar was much worse than Olivia's own.She could not understand what had happened over the past years she stopped seeing them after that incident.“After you left, no one was able to foot the huge debt he had acquired over the years, then loan sharks came after us. They took the house, the car and most of all the furniture. They harassed my husband and then my son. ”“We tried to keep up. From
Miles threw himself in awe. what had she just said? Was she truly joking with him? Confess his love to him, again?He just could not get if she was bewitched by Ray. Though his beauty was extraordinary from other bachelors in California, nevertheless, they were more of him in the world.“I guess you are crazy! Haven't you learnt from your past mistake? Ray doesn't like you and is only a friend to you and nothing more. Stop disturbing him!”This was the last stop for him. His sister was obviously bewitched by a witch into thinking love worked that way.“Says who? For him to be worried about me for years meant he felt something for me. He loves me and that is what it is. It is just too bad that he gave up his love and found another woman. ”“ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID?! He felt that way over the years because of GUILT! And nothing more. He thought he had killed you and made himself guilty. Look, Audrey, if you keep bothering her
She adjusted her eyesight to the cringe call of her name and saw the woman who had called her, it was Amelia along with Charlie matched in navy blue clothing.Alexa sneered at her greetings and made her face sour. Any time they appeared, good things never came for her.“Miss Amelia, are we that close for you to introduce me as SISTER? ” Her blunt words went deep into Amelia's heart which made her grit her teeth.Must she always have a comeback packaged every time. Can't she not be the loser for once. She fumed angrily and then his it under a beaming smile.“Why can't you be so nice for once ” Amelia's face could not hold it any more and turned sour revealing her ugly intentions. “As you can see I am here with my boyfriend and....” She looked around and when she did not catch a glimpse of Ray she flared up.The man who she wanted to seduce under the red light was no where to be found, of course, she was expected to be f

Alexa dropped her utensils on the tissue and looked annoyed at him. How could Ray do this to him, the Ray she knows can not do such wicked thing to him.“You're surprised right? The man you trusted turned out to be a psycho. It was years ago, he is the reason why my parents and brother died. I had no hope of living until I met you in college. You might have forgotten me since you have temporary amnesia. ”“How did you know that I have that? The more you talk, the more I am curious to know you. ” Alexa kept her guards up as he chuckled more. He removed his mask down and the huge scar frightened her.The scar moved from his forehead down to his chin. Half of his face carrannoying the ugly scar. It looked so permanent and ugly yet, he did not seem bothered about it.“I am sorry that I frightened you with my scar. It won't bite you ” His face turned sour as he apologized. Perkins did not also think that even her would be terrified
