After messing with the wrong guys and being unable to pay off the huge amount of debt, he sold his only daughter, Olivia, to be a surrogate without her consent. She was just a young girl in her sophomore year, who was trying to make ends meet. Her father's betrayal left her devastated as she did not know how the rest of her life will be like. Ethan was the president of Reid Corporation. He was a tenacious man who never entertained any nonsense. His resolute personality made his father to hand the company over to him.

In fact, he is adamant on finding a lady who saved him when he was young, claiming that she was the only one who deserved to be his wife. But when Olivia tries to escape with his half-brother, who is also his arch-enemy, Ethan goes after her and when he finally finds her, he forbids her from ever leaving him.

Olivia dragged her tired body as she entered through the door of their humble home. Her father was a gambler and a drunkard and every time he messed with the bad guys, she would always be the one cleaning after him.She was in her second year of university and apart from studying, she had to do all sorts of odd jobs in order to pay for her tuition fees, help her father pay off the huge debts that he owes, and have money to buy herself basic necessities.“You are back?” a middle-aged voice asked Olivia the moment she entered the door.She did not have the energy to entertain her father so she immediately hurried to her room.Her father did not care about her attitude. He only looked at her with a cunning gaze, as something strange flitted through his eyes.Olivia took a quick shower and just as she was about to start her school assignment, a knock came from outside. Olivia did not need to ask to know who was at the door.“What do you want?” she asked in a tired but cold voice.“I know that I have not been a great dad, but I have decided to change for the best. I promise you that I will start to work and you will not have to pay for my debts anymore.” Fred said.Olivia did not respond. She heard so many of those words over the years that her ears were starting to form calluses.“Dad, just go on with your business, I have a lot of homework to do,” Olivia shouted towards the door.“Olivia, baby, I am serious. Look, I have even prepared you freshly squeezed mango juice, just the way you like it. Just drink it then and I won’t disturb you.” Fred said in an almost begging tone.Olivia shook her head. She knew that if she did not open the door, her father would continue nagging and she would be too distracted to do anything.Thus, she opened the door, took the glass of juice from Fred, and gulped it in one go.“Happy now?” she questioned as she stared at her irresponsible father.“Yes, yes. Continue doing your assignments. I won’t disturb you anymore.” Fred nodded. He left with a happy grin on his face.The moment the juice settled in Olivia’s stomach, her body started to feel hot. She felt like little tiny ants were crawling into her body and eating her flesh. It was sometimes itchy, sometimes painful.Her consciousness began to fade and thinking that it might be because her room was stuffy, she hurried to open the window to bring in some fresh air since they did not have an air conditioner.Scratching her itchy body, Olivia felt the urge to remove her clothes. Her eyes were dazed and she did not know what the hell was going on with her. Just in time before she lost it, she thought that she saw two black-clothed men entering her bedroom and before she could scream for help, her mind turned blank and she lost consciousness. …Olivia woke up with a splitting headache. Her body was tied on a king-sized bed, rendering her immobile. Her hands were tied above her head with leather belts and they felt so sore.The only thing that could be moved was her legs and when she tried to move, a sharp pain shot through her lower body, making her subconsciously scream.“Ahhhh.”She looked around the room and realized that it was a completely foreign place and she has never seen it before.In her state of panic, she realized one thing; she was completely naked. There was not a single piece of cloth on her body. The room seemed to have the air conditioner turned on, making her shiver from the cold.Olivia moved her head to check her body and when she saw all the love bites from her chest to her ties, she almost fainted.“Ahhhhh,” she screamed even louder and her voice seemed to have attracted a few people in the house.Olivia was panic-stricken and her mind was in a daze. She was a university student and although she has never had a boyfriend before, she knew exactly what had happened.She must have slept with a man. But how? The last thing she remembered was her father giving her a glass of mango juice and after that, her body felt so foreign and before she lost her mind to darkness, a few men in black suits with huge black shades approached her.She had thought that she was having a nightmare at that time, but looking at her current condition……could she have been abducted and then slept with her abductor? Although the plot seemed bizarre, that was the only explanation she could come up with in her current situation.As she was still pondering, with her heart beating out of proportion, a few servants, neatly dressed, approached her.They untied her from the bed and covered her with a towel before leading her away.Olivia tried to resist but her body was weak so she could only allow herself to be dragged along. Her hands were also sore, they could not feel anything.After bathing her thoroughly, she was made to sit on the dressing table that seemed to have all kinds of makeup.The servant had just lifted a brush to apply foundation on her face when Olivia caught her wrist. The servant was momentarily shocked but she did not say a word.“Who are you guys and what is this place?” Olivia asked as she stared at the servant’s expressionless face.The servant did not say anything. She did not even look Olivia in the eye as she started to do her makeup.Olivia could only resign to her fate. This woman was like a robot and no matter how she asked, she did not open her mouth to say a thing.The makeup was done soon and Olivia was dressed in a gorgeous long black dress.She looked at herself in the mirror and was stunned by what she saw. Well, she has never known that she was such a beauty.The servant helped her up and led her downstairs. The more they passed many corridors, the more Olivia was amazed at how huge this house was. There seemed to be no end to it and her heart tensed.After walking for what seemed like forever, they finally reached what seemed like the sitting room. In the living room, there were two people, one was sitting and had an incredible aura, while the other was standing on his side respectfully.Olivia looked at them and wondered if these two people were the kidnappers and wondered what they wanted from her. Her gaze lingered a bit on the man who was seated. He had a handsome face that could defy the heavens and summon down the dragons.He was probably the most handsome man she has ever seen in her life.The man she was looking at was Ethan Reid, the youngest billionaire and the current president of Reid corporation. He had taken over the company after his father’s retirement and under his leadership, it had expanded even to the international markets.Well, as naive as Olivia was, she knew that she had never met this man and they did not have any connection, whatsoever. She just wanted to know why she was there and who she had slept with.As if reading her mind, Ethan signaled his assistant. The assistant respectfully took out a stack of documents from the black leather suitcase he was holding and handed it to Olivia.Olivia took them with a confused look and browsed through them. By the time she finished, her face was ashen and her lips trembled lightly.If the servant was not holding her from behind, she would have fallen.“What… what… what is the meaning of this?” Olivia asked as she looked between Ethan and his assistant.She was this man’s surrogate? But why doesn’t she remember meeting with this man or even signing this crappy contract? But her name was on it and what surprised her, even more, was her father’s signature and name.“Miss, you have read the contract and everything that is in it is true.” the assistant spoke up.“How?” Olivia asked. She felt like she was losing her mind.“Your father sold you to our boss to be his surrogate. I guess you have seen the signature and the name on the paper.”“Impossible. My dad would never do that to me.” Olivia instantly denied it.“You, what did you do to my dad? Did you make him gamble for you and when he lost, you tricked him into doing this?” Olivia asked angrily as she pointed her shaky finger at Ethan.Ethan’s face, which has been expressionless ever since Olivia was brought over, darkened.‘Is this woman kidding me? Why would resort to such despicable means to get a woman? Does she have any idea how many women want to have a look at me?’ Ethan thought angrily in his mind.“I am calling the police. Not only did you kidnap me, but you also raped me and even threatened my dad to sign this contract. I am going to report you to the police. I am going to make sure that you rot in jail.” Olivia yelled. Although she knew that her father was a gambler and rarely listened to her, there was no way he could sell her.She still had that little bit of faith in him.Ethan felt that Olivia was too noisy so he glared at his assistant.The assistant knowingly took out a tablet and wordlessly handed it to Olivia. Olivia wanted to throw it away but when she saw the familiar figure appear on the screen, she paused.In the video, the father that has never shown her any concern, the father that was always drunk and fighting, was happily discussing the contract terms.He even explained how he was going to drug her and make her suspect nothing.So, the mango juice that her father had caringly given her, and how she had felt like she was going to lose her mind, was it all part of the plan?!Olivia was overwhelmed with despair. She could not believe that the father she had fought so much for, had actually sold her for some million dollars.Ethan looked at the woman who was about to break down without any expression on his face. There were no fluctuating feelings and he was as stoic as ever.“Woman, you are mine from today onwards. I have spent a lot of money to get you, don’t try something you shouldn’t!” Ethan warned in a cold voice before walking away in huge strides.Chapter 80 On the day of the trial, Olivia, Ethan, Tom, and other important board members gathered in the court. They had already recovered the funds so; it was time for Nathan and his minions to face judgment for their actions. Almost a month had passed. Zari appeared haggard and older than her age. Her eyes were puffed and she seemed as if she had been crying a good one in jail. Luke appeared as thin as a stick and he could be easily carried away by the wind. But no one was feeling mercy for them. They were just paying for their actions. Yusuf had his head lowered. He did not dare look at Tom or Olivia. No one knew what was going on in his mind. He had requested to see Tom and Olivia a few times over the past month, but they had refused his request. Especially Tom. He was still recovering from the fact that someone he saw as a son had actually betrayed him, and almost caused him to lose his only granddaughter. The only person who appeared at ease was probably Nathan. He was no
Chapter 79 Although Olivia had been kidnapped and Nathan had said all kinds of confusing words to her, Olivia was not afraid. She was confident that Ethan will be finding her as soon as possible. Her earring had a GPS tracker but only Ethan, her grandfather, and herself knew about it. Also, Ethan taught her to always carry something that she can use to protect herself, after the snake accident. She has always carried a Swiss knife in her clothes, and not even her security knew about it. After knowing that the man would not come back any time soon, Olivia used all her wits and finally managed to get the Swiss knife in her hands. Her grandfather had given it to her. He said that it was made of special material and it could cut through anything. And true to his words, the ropes that were used to tie her up were now in pieces as Olivia looked at them with cold eyes. Olivia’s eyes had already adjusted to the darkness and after freeing herself, she looked around, trying to find a way o
Chapter 78 “Nathan!” Olivia slowly called out the man’s name. “Huh, you still remember me?” Nathan asked as he chuckled devilishly. The scars on his face cracked when he laughed, leaving him with a scary look. Olivia looked at the man she had almost forgotten that he existed and her heart sank. Was he back to exert revenge on what happened back then? Why now? Where had he been all these years? “What happened to you?” Olivia asked as she looked at the man’s face which was full of scars. “Ha ha, what happened to me? Don’t you know what happened to me when you abandoned me and left with my brother? I thought that you were a damsel in distress and I was willing to cross my brother, just so that I could help you. Who would have thought that you will be such an unappreciative bitch?” “I also never knew that you had such a strong background. If I had known, I would not have let you go back then.” “What do you want from me? Money, sure, I can give it to you no matter how much you want
Chapter 77 Tom looked at Yusuf and furrowed his eyebrows. He did not like the sound of that. “What is it?” “Take a look at this,” Yusuf said as he tossed a pile of documents on top of Tom’s desk. The killing intent in his eyes had not dwindled, and he looked like he could not wait to shoot someone. Tom looked through the documents. After he finished, he slammed it on the desk and looked at Yusuf. Anger was spitting through his eyes, and he almost reached for his gun. “What is the meaning of this?” he angrily questioned. “Master, I have never believed for once that Olivia would do this to you. After we caught Luke, he said a bunch of crap, and just to be sure, I went ahead and raided his house, and these are everything I found. I rushed here immediately because I did not want you to be deceived anymore.” “See, there are DNA reports, stating clearly that Olivia is not your granddaughter. If you look at the dates, it is before you found her and even performed the DNA test. But the
Chapter 76 When Olivia left the office, all the workers were waiting outside the door, looking at her with fear in their eyes. “Boss, is it true that the company accounts have been emptied and we are about to be sent packing?” Olivia frowned when she heard that. “What nonsense are you talking about?” “The accounts manager has already resigned and she told us that there is nothing that can be done about it. Someone stole the company’s money and there is no way of getting it back.” “Oh my God, what am I going to do about my mom’s hospital bill? They just called yesterday and told me that the bill is overdue.” “My son was sent home yesterday because of school fees, and I told him that he will report to school the day after tomorrow. What am I going to do if we are not paid?” “My bills…” “My rent…” “The Shylock will definitely cut my head off.” The workers started to protest that Olivia felt her head almost bursting. Everyone was shouting and they had sandwiched her in the midd
Chapter 75 At Palmer’s Mansion, inside Tom’s study room. There was a stifling feeling in the air as Tom listened to Olivia recount what had happened. When she finished, he flung his fist on the table, making the wooden table almost snap into two. His nose flared up and he was trembling from anger. “Insolent! How dare he steal from me, Thomas Palmer? Who gave him the courage?” “Grandfather, calm down, please. We still don’t know the concrete situation of what really transpired. What we need right now is to find that man as soon as possible.” Olivia went to her grandfather and held him. He had a heart condition and having his emotions worked up was not good for him. He needed to calm done, only then will he think. “I have already ordered the bank to freeze his accounts. The moment he tries to do any transaction, we will know where he is.” Ethan said from the side, as he looked at the old man. Tom took out his phone and sent an orange alert, very soon, a lot of top secret agents
Chapter 74 “How are the plans coming along?” Nathan asked over the phone. No matter how powerful of an army he had, he still needed money, to maintain his people and to carry on with his plans smoothly. He had just made a huge shipment and the buyer was yet to pay. But he could not wait to put his plans in motion. Seeing his brother and Olivia living so happily as if nothing could ever come between him, was getting on his nerves. He wanted to bring them the pain he has felt all these years, and that could only happen if he lured the tiger out of the cave, and made it vulnerable by cutting off its powerful paws. He wanted to remove all the protective gear around Olivia, and when she would be in her most vulnerable state, he would offer his final blow. He wanted them separated, dead or alive. He did not care. As long as they felt the pain. After the presentation went successful, Olivia asked for the end-of-month financial report. Starting this project would require a huge amount of
Chapter 73 Three months went by after the snake incident. Tom fired every person that was supposed to protect Olivia. It caused so much trouble that Yusuf was almost removed from his position. He was just glad that the man who pulled the thing off was very experienced and even with Tom’s resources, they have not been able to find him. Tom had personally rearranged Olivia’s security detail. They were his most trusted subordinates who could not be tempted easily so, it was hard for Yusuf to find an opening again. Ethan had also assigned his great men to watch her in private. She was being protected even more than the president. “I can’t believe that she was actually that lucky and managed to survive.” A man with a long scar on his face said as he looked at Yusuf. “Yeah. It was a one-clean shot but she came out unharmed. Now with all the people hovering around her, even a fly cannot penetrate.” “It doesn’t matter. I have been waiting for so long for this. I know that there will be
Chapter 72 At the hospital… Ethan did not stay unconscious for long. Olivia was by his bedside, holding his hand with a worried expression. Although the doctors had extracted all the poison in his body, she was still worried. Ethan slowly opened his eyes. He felt someone gripping his hand hard and when he turned his head, he saw his wife’s worried expression, and her face was filled with streaks of tears. “Hey.” He softly called out. “You are awake,” Olivia called out excitedly. “What happened?” Ethan inquired after realizing that he was in a hospital. “You were bitten by that python and although your bodyguard helped to suck out the poison, you fainted on the way here.” “How are you feeling?” she asked. She was worried that there were still traces of poison in his body and it might endanger his life. “I am fine. I just feel a little numb on my arm but that’s all.” “I was so worried about you.” Olivia started to cry. When Ethan fainted in the ambulance, she felt as if her w
