______

How did I know her place? That was a silly question. The question could have been why I knew her place.

I had no answer to that either. If she asked why I knew her place, I could have given her the same response I offered when she asked how I knew. Silence.

Maybe because I stalked her resume. We all give addresses in our resumes. When I did that, I planned to find out where she lived. I first suspected that Dad had bought her an expensive house. But then she was living in just a rental apartment which was not as expensive or luxurious.

Once I dropped her, I drove off, and similar emotions I had been having lately surfaced. It wasn't entirely anger but it was mixed with loneliness. The feeling you'd have once something important has been taken away from you.

I called Leo immediately on a loudspeaker as I drove off from Liana's area.

"We need to talk." I roughly uttered as my cold eyes focused on the road.

"We are talking." He answered and I could see a cocky

    Liana Moore _____ I could only infer that his question had something to do with his hatred toward me. That jolted the curiosity in me. Maybe I ignored his hatred to the point of not wanting to know why he loathed me, but at that moment, I was in dire need to know."Am I happy seeing you drunk?" I cocked a brow. "Is that what you mean?"He let out a scoff. "You are good at this aren't you?" His speech was rather slurred even though the coldness was felt. "Playing innocent.""Sir, I don't really understand this.""Do you love him?!" He thundered and for once, I did not flinch. That caught me baffled. Now, If he hated me because of a man, he was crazy, that was because I was single as fuck. Even though Knox lingered in my brain once the whole topic surfaced, I still had this part that wanted to laugh. Yes, he saw us together in the restaurant, plus the whole issue that happened back between Knox and us. But he revealed his hatred to me even before we met Knox."Love who?""Did you kno

    Oliver Castillo____ I lazily pushed my hand to the lamp table beside my bed to grab a ringing phone that woke me up. I blinked my heavy-lidded eyes open to check the caller, it was Susan, the Secretary. A sigh gushed through my nose as I rolled over to face the ceiling. Some sun rays that penetrated through the window baked my skin, an indication that it was not dawn, the day had matured.I answered the phone and her voice filled into my ear, causing my head to pound more insanely than it was."Sir, we have got an issue." She hurriedly reported and I huffed as I pushed my hair off my face. "What is it?" I managed to maintain my voice. No one could suspect I had just woken up. I could feel I had enough sleep, meaning that I missed almost half of the day at work."You need to watch the news." She sounded uneasy and I had to govern my brain cells to understand what she was trying to deliver. "It's about WowFood." With the mention of that, my body immediately came into a sudden alert.

    Liana Moore ______ I left the conference room when Oliver walked in. There was an aura that was always felt whenever he was around. Silence hovered and everyone waited for him to speak about the situation.Once I hoofed out, I shut the door but I did not have the energy to walk away. I leaned on a wall beside the door and clutched my eyes shut. I felt dead. The little energy I was left with was slowly disappearing. I could feel every sense in my knocking out. The news about FitFood affected me in ways that I could not even think I was currently homeless. An exhausted sigh made its way through my nose. I could use a long break.WowFood was blowing the internet. They took a position that FitFood always occupied. It was only less than twenty-four hours for us to launch the same product, yet some motherfuckers saw it was necessary to loot our ideas.I suspected we had someone leaking information from the company. It was something that never happened before but some shit needed to be

    Oliver Castillo _____ I couldn't stop looking at the pictures of Liana. The mysterious girl from the club. The girl in a backless sequin skater dress, with her hair falling gracefully on her shoulders and her well-done makeup. I knew it from the swimming pool, she just had a lot hidden under her clothes. If only Leo could know that the girl he was looking for was the girl we were busy destroying. A soft knock echoed at the office door and I sighed. I was going insane. I could actually use a day without thinking about work and perhaps think about something else.I answered. Susan ambled in carrying an Ipad. She had been in and out of my office more often and it was getting on my nerves. "The meeting with Shareholders is ready." She informed me. I waved my hand to dismiss her. When she was gone, I looked down at the laptop where I had emails from WowFood. The board members were demanding a meeting with me.I brought it to myself, but I wasn't going to show my face as Mister CO, I

    Liana Moore _____ I swallowed the pain reliever pills to help with my headache. It felt as though my head was mercilessly whacked with a sledgehammer. After I rested the glass of water on the kitchen plateau, I pushed myself and sat on the wooden stool.I stared outside through the glass wall, the view outside was the swimming pool area. The lights inside the house were turned off so the only source of light that allowed me to navigate around the kitchen was from the pool area.The house was so serene, everyone was asleep including Mary. I was the only one awake since I was waiting for Oliver.I needed to know where he stood. The case was delicate so I was in dire need to know if they found the real mule.The whole day went on with me on my laptop as I went through the news. The news was spreading like a forest fire. WowFood was making it big. I wondered who was framing me to the extent of setting me up with someone I did not know. It reminded me of when I was in the club, the guy

    Liana Moore ____I was engaged in the laptop as I went through some products that FitFood ever launched in past years. They were all a hit, except for one product that never did well in the market. It was a breakfast cereal made of whole-grain wheat.I went through some details about it, wondering what could have been the issue that customers did not like it.I lifted my face from the laptop when the door squeaked. Oliver pushed it open and ambled in carrying his laptop. He had taken a shower, his hair was all pushed behind and tied in a ponytail. He wore a white tee and black sweatpants. He walked around the table and sank on the black leather seat behind the office table. I averted my gaze from him to the laptop. I needed to also give ideas."What do you have?" He asked while opening his laptop. He pressed several keys and then gazed at me."Not yet." I scrolled down the laptop screen. "Should the product be from the farm?""Looking into what the company intended to launch this ye

    Liana Moore ___ After a hectic day, which was worth it, all the employees gathered to celebrate the successful launch of the product. We were all in the company kitchen, late at 8 pm, as we also got to enjoy a free tryout of the new flavors that were launched. I was delighted to also see Oliver join us to try the new flavors.After the news about me being the mule in the company, I gained more haters. No one was looking my way and if they did, the glares they offered were clear that I was not on anyone's good side.Zip called in the morning to inform me that she was to be absent. Her mother was admitted to the hospital. She was the only person I could have spent the day with. Mikell was busy serving the employees, so there were no chances to have him sit with me at the table.I was seated at the farthest table in the company dining hall. The noises were like bees buzzing around. I couldn't even tell what anyone said as they were chatting in groups.Some were holding a bowl of cere

Jason hollered and the sound of billiards balls hitting the pool table allowed right after. I was aware that he was playing pool.I sighed as I run my fingers through my hair which was a disheveled mess. I was as confused as fuck. My feelings were the blame, or the unfaithful hormones playing with me."I think it's up to Oliver to find out more about her now that she is staying under his roof." Leo finally let out. We both needed good therapy to help with the weird change in our views about Liana."That bitch is staying in Catillo mansion?" Jason's convulsed. "How come I am hearing this now? What is going on behind my back?""Jason, look," I pulled myself and sat nicely on the bed as I tugged another pillow on my back.

    Chapter 5___Alessia____A brisk breeze grazed my shoulder, and a shiver ran down my spine. I sluggishly fumbled in search of something to cover myself from the chill, and fortunately, I found one.My body felt relaxed, except for the window of the room that was certainly open, allowing the breeze to sneak in.A soft groan left my throat and ran my hand through my hair. I inhaled the delightful scent on the bedding, enough to bring a smile to my lips.Stretching my hands with a yawn, the breeze grew strong, wafting in the room and carrying with it the scent of the ocean.I grew reluctant to wake up; the bed felt so comfortable that it compelled me to continue sleeping. But my stomach rumbled. I was starving. Most of the time, I rarely woke up hungry. I got used to waking up in the middle of the night to grab some snacks, like cupcakes. Did I skip a meal?Attempting to remember what I had for dinner, visions began gushing in my brain. The untouched delicious meal from the romantic d

The radiant lights and the candles on the table gave me a certain warmth that made me relax. I admired the commitment he exerted to make the dinner memorable, given

I bent over and pecked her forehead then gunned towards Carina's bedroom upstairs.Their home was my home, so knew the place in and out. I was like a family to them and I wished my family was as happy as theirs.I stepped into her room. She sat on her bed with a laptop on her lap. She had her headphones on. When she sighted my sudden appearance, she took her headphones off and then crawled out of the bed, shock smeared on her face. "Oh no! Not again?" She scanned my face then took the bag from me. "Yep." I collapsed on the bed, my face idolizing the white ceiling. "Why didn't you call me? I could have picked you up?" She sat beside me. "They could have known that I came here. But this time, I want you to tell them I am not here.""Hm." She snorted "They definitely know you are here." She rubbed my knee. "I wish I could di

I could have done a lot like to admire his appearance but clearly, I had dressed up a stranger's face with a golden thong. I got up quickly and as a result, the chair fell with a thud and people didn't care about the noise at that moment, like the catastrophic situation I put myself in.The gent towered me. His hands were deeply in his pockets as he started down at me.I opened my mouth and shut it without a single word coming out. I opened it again and there, I found my voice. "That should be mine."

My brain always takes a short break when I get cornered in an arduous situation. So I decided not to speak but to take action. I stepped close to him so I could take th

    Oliver___By the time it hit midnight, everyone had to rest for the night. We couldn't risk getting exhausted for the wedding. But there was something I could risk, like finding the bride and just kissing her.I hated the silence in the mansion as though no one existed. Lights were dim, the night was quiet. I made my silent approach to the kitchen.Getting a warm glass of milk ready, I also made myself a glass of coffee and occupied a seat on the kitchen island. Minutes passed and I could not stop glancing at the entrance. She had to show up because I believed she couldn't sleep like I couldn't. I was excited and nervous, and I believed she missed me.A whisper got me shooting my head to where it emerged. It was from the garden where our wedding was to take place. I got up and made my way to the window, to take a peek, only to see Mary and Dad talking. They seemed to be in a little serious conversation which I bet involved what they had between them.“Are they arguing?”“No, it doe—f

    Oliver_____The office door opened even before I answered. The grinning face of Leo showed first, followed by Liam whose face remained on his phone. I pushed the laptop off me and leaned against the back seat as I watched them take their seats.“I don't appreciate the way you treat us,” Leo complained. “What are we, robots?”I smirked. “I did something?” I asked as I rubbed my chin. They looked weary, something I did not mention.“Tomorrow is the wedding,” Liam asked. “And you told us this morning?”I nodded. “Thank God I did not forget to tell you.”Leo rolled his eyes. “You are an asshole.” He lamented. “What changed?”“What changed where?” I questioned as I rested my elbows on the table. “Nothing changed, you need to prepare to be there. I need the rings. That's the only remaining thing.”“Dude!” Jason did not look pleased. “What is this, a morning walk or something? Enlighten us, venue, dress code, guests, everything. We need to do all that.”I waved. “It's all done. Nothing to d

I could feel his fullness in me, stretching my hole and filling me while I stood against the shower wall. His kisses all over my skin, the parts of me where his lips met were left burning with immense desires.He knew how to handle me, he loved handling my body, worshiping every inch of my skin. And I loved it all, my body allowed him in.“What?” I asked when I noticed he was gazing at me a lot.A warm smile settled on his lips. “Nothing. I just love how you trust me with your hair.”My brows pulled together. “Now I am scared.” He laughed, God, even his laughter was so cute. “Oliver!” I wore a serious look though I felt like joining him in laughing. “I remembered doing this to Clara, and I ended up burning her.” I suddenly jerked and stepped away. Leaving him as he laughed. I could never trust him again now.

I couldn't imagine how one could be so evil to poison their husband so they could own a family business. But her husband wasn't to worry, like to realize they schemed my parent's death. “You wicked daughter, I treated you like my own!” She screamed at me while disappearing. The tears I had been holding threatened to spill but I held them when I saw Timothy walking to me. Fury filled me again. I turned to Oliver who had his hand around my waist. “Let's get out of here,” I whispered but Timothy arrived. My eyes caught Kira leaving. The court had ordered her to leave the mansion and I saw how devastated she was. Lost, angry, confused, alone.
