Chapter 3
Olivia racked her brain but seeing that there was no good idea that popped into her mind, she left her bedroom in frustration.As she walked around the house, her eyes caught the servant cleaning by and they lit up.Ah, why did she not think about it earlier? These servants should know Ethan better because they have been staying with him.Olivia devised a plan in her mind. She was just going to pretend that she was concerned about their master and wanted to know more about him, thus learning a few things that he disliked or liked.“Yo, are you busy?’ Olivia asked the servant in a good-natured voice.“You have eyes but you cannot even see?” The servant mocked. She did not like this woman that had popped out of nowhere and entered her master’s life.Although they were told to show total respect, she could not help but disdain her.Seeing that the servant’s attitude was not so welcoming, Olivia did not care. She was just there to know a few things about that damned man.She would make sure that she infuriates him until he throws her out of her house.“I can see that you are cleaning, but you are almost done. I am just here to ask a few things about your master.” Olivia said.She wrung her hand nervously as if she was afraid the servant would reject her.The servant looked at her and scoffed. Heh, she had only been here for a day but she was already asking about their master? Has she already fallen in love?“What do you want to know?” the servant asked. She vowed that she was going to teach this bitch that had tainted their master a lesson.Ethan was like a god in their hearts. Although he was handsome, he was not someone who liked to play outside. They were actually shocked when Olivia was brought here. Maybe she was the one who seduced their master.“Uhm, just simple things like what the master likes and what he dislikes. You know, I am new here and I don’t want to do anything that will anger him.” Olivia said.Her face was so innocent that no one could tell that a lot of evil plots were now playing out in her mind.“Our master is always composed. He never shows his emotions in front of anyone.” the servant said.Olivia immediately revealed a disappointed expression. If even the servants did not know their master, who was she supposed to ask?Seeing her disappointed look, the servant felt disdain in her heart. She was right, this woman had fallen in love with their master.“But…”“Is there anything?” Olivia’s face lit up with delight.“There are some things that our master hates, one, he hates anything cooked with carrots, and two, he hates when people get physical with him. He especially hates those women who try to throw themselves at him and seduce him.” the servant said.Olivia’s eyes lit up. Ha ha, she was glad that she asked.“Thank you, so much for the information,” Olivia said and quickly left. She had to devise her plan and make sure that by the time Ethan got home from work, everything would be perfectly done.Even if she has never seduced a man before, she would learn, just to make sure that the man was infuriated.When evening came, Olivia rushed to the kitchen. Seeing that the servants were busy preparing dinner, she offered to do it herself.“Y’all can leave. I will be cooking for your master today,” she commanded.“Ma’am…” the servants were hesitant.“Olivia, what are you doing?” Alice came over and asked.“I offered to cook dinner for the master tonight but the servants are not allowing me to. I just want to show my sincerity.” Olivia said in a pitiful voice.Alice looked at the chefs and told them to leave the kitchen and let Olivia do her things.She did not know how deep her relationship with her master would run, but for now, they had to be polite to her.After the chefs left, Olivia excitedly entered the kitchen. Seeing that all the ingredients were prepared and the only thing lacking were carrots, Olivia ordered a few servants to bring her carrots from the garden.Haha, since she was about to make a feast, she had to do it perfectly.When Ethan came back from work, he was surprised to see Olivia donning a pink apron and arranging the table. The dining table was filled with lots of dishes and he wondered if she was the one who had made them.When Olivia realized that Ethan was back, she flashed him a smile as she ushered him to the dining table.“Perfect time. Just in time when I am done making dinner.” Olivia said. She especially emphasized the last part.She wanted to make sure that Ethan heard it.Ethan was momentarily stunned when he heard Olivia. It was only for a split second before he sat down at the dining table. Olivia passed him a warm towel to wipe his hands before she opened the lids covering the food. When the smell of carrots wafted in Ethan’s nostrils, his brows furrowed ever so slightly. Olivia, who had been looking at him, was slightly excited.Heh, she was just waiting for the man to flare up and chase her out of the house. But to her dismay, not only did Ethan not scold her, he immediately took a plate and started eating his dinner. He seemed to be enjoying his meal as he did not even lift his head.Halfway through, the man lifted his head and looked at Olivia. Olivia’s heart skipped a bit but she became excited. She thought Ethan could no longer endure the taste of carrots in the food and was about to scold her.“Don’t do this for me again next time.” the man said in a monotonous voice. Seeing that she might have touched the man’s nerve, Olivia decided to up her game.Hah, let us see how long you will continue to pretend to like the food when in reality you can't wait to throw up.After hearing his words, Olivia nodded obediently. When she saw that Ethan had gone back to eating his meal, she moved to his side in an attempt to pour him a glass of water. But whether she was doing it deliberately or not, the glass of water landed perfectly on Etha’s chest when she tried handing it to him, wetting his shirt.“Oh, I am so sorry. I am always so clumsy. Look at how I have messed up your clothes. I will help you wipe them.” Olivia said.She took a dry towel from the table and started to wipe Ethan’s body. Her hands were all over his body as she helped him to dry his head. Ethan’s body turned stiff the moment he smelt the woman’s clean scent.He had planned to scold her but the words reached the tip of his tongue before rolling back. Her warm breath was all over his body and he felt as if he was being caressed by a light feather.Seeing that the woman was not stopping, and her chest was almost in his face, his expression tensed and he put the spoon in his hand on the table, he abruptly stood up, startling Olivia who almost had her entire body in his arms.Thinking that her plan had been perfect and the man could no longer tolerate him, Olivia looked up at the man with an excited expression.Ethan did not say anything as he immediately scooped the woman in his arms. Olivia was stunned for a moment but soon a subtle smile appeared on her lips.Well, he was going to personally throw her out of his house and she could not ask for more.But to her horror, the man did not head towards the door. He headed towards the stairs while carrying her easily in his arms. Olivia revealed a confused expression. She saw the servant who had given her suggestions standing at the kitchen door with horror written all over her face, not knowing how to react.Before she could react to anything, a deep, sexy voice sounded in her ear, “You are such a slutty, sexy bitch. Since you started the fire, then you will have to extinguish it!”Chapter 4As Ethan carried the trouble-making woman in his arms, he was shocked at how much he was affected by her actions.He was someone who had always been proud of his self-control, but a little rubbing from this woman and he could not wait to have her. His body was already burning just thinking about how he was about to be one with one.She was becoming a little demon and he needed to deal with her before she could tempt someone else.Looking at the woman who had her eyes wide open as she stared at him in confusion, Ethan did not want to let her go. At this moment, his mind was filled with lust and the only thing that was replaying in his mind was how their bodies were about to entwine. The pleasure of having her was making him almost lose his mind.The memories he had with her the previous night could not help but replay in his mind.He also felt that this woman was deliberate in her schemes and was obviously seducing him. Although he hated carrots, he had endured them just beca
Chapter 5Ethan did not go easy on her. He made her do all kinds of embarrassing styles and by the time they finished, Olivia was too tired that she did not even have the energy to lift a finger, let alone open her eyes.When she finally returned to the realm of the living, it was already noon the following day. The space beside her had already turned cold and her body was aching all over and her back seemed to have been broken.Thinking about everything that had transpired yesterday, her face flushed and it was as red as a ripe tomato. The man seemed to have an insatiable appetite as he folded her body in all kinds of postures, to the extent of almost breaking her spinal cord.She shyly looked at the hickeys on her body, making her face turn as red as an apple. She secretly cursed the man and tried to get out of bed.Her legs were wobbly and she could only stand straight with the help of the bed. If she knew this was the price she was supposed to pay, she would not have provoked that
Chapter 6Olivia was shocked when she heard the butler’s words. So what if she was the only woman that Ethan had brought home?She was sure that there was no way Ethan would have fallen in love with her. They had not interacted with each other in the past and she has only known him for three days now, there was no way that man would be attracted to her just because she had slept with him twice.Olivia shook her head to remove the ridiculous thoughts from her mind. She must be going insane to even think that she was someone who could attract Ethan’s attention.Olivia looked at the beautiful dress and after thinking about it, she realized that it was not bad if she went out with the man. Maybe it might be her only chance to escape this absurd life and go somewhere else.She went to take a quick shower and after doing everything from makeup to dressing, it was already almost evening.The butler had said that Ethan would come to personally pick her up and just as she was wondering if the
Chapter 7When Olivia heard the woman claim to be Ethan’s fiancee, she was stunned. Her heart was suddenly filled with a sulfurous feeling that she has never felt before.Olivia was stunned at her feelings that she did not understand. She has never been in love before and she was sure that she was not in love with Ethan. She wondered where the uncomfortable feelings came from.“That man can only be mine. If you know what is good for you, you should not even go back to that house. I don’t like it when others covet what is supposed to be mine.” the woman said. Her voice was domineering and Olivia felt cornered.She was just a simple woman who had not seen much of the world. How was she supposed to deal with someone who just walked up to her and started questioning her?“Woman, are you even listening to what I am saying?” The woman, Jenny Alexandra was displeased when she did not get any response from Olivia.“Are you deaf?”“I…” Olivia did not know what to say. Although she wanted to ex
Chapter 8 Fiancee? Ethan’s words shocked the people at the gala. Their gazes traveled between him and Olivia, wondering what was going on. Jenny, who had just walked over, was stunned when she heard Ethan and her face turned pale. Her heart felt as if it had been hit by thunder as the words reverberated in her ears. Anger boiled in her chest as she thought about the humiliation that Ethan had put her through in the bathroom, to defend that low-life bitch! Without caring about her status as a socialite, or Ethan’s status as a business mogul, Jenny stormed to the stage in anger. She forcefully took Ethan’s hand that was holding Olivia, breaking them apart and almost causing Olivia to fall from the impact. Ethan quickly protected her by wrapping his arms around her shoulder, but Olivia roughly pushed him away. She was displeased at how this man would not waste an opportunity to take advantage of her even in front of so many people. “Ethan, what is the meaning of your words?” Jenny as
Chapter 9 Jenny stood there like an idiot. She had thought that Ethan would know what was good for him, but she never imagined that he would directly kiss Olivia in front of everyone. All the lies she had fabricated, all the fantasies she had been building over the years, came crumbling down like a wall that has been destroyed by explosives. With her body frozen in place, she did not know if she could hurry up and stop them, or if she could run and hide from all the taunting gazes she was about to receive. She was well aware of what was going to happen after that kiss because she had envisioned the same thing happening to Olivia. She never imagined that she will be the one on the receiving end. With her body stiff, she slowly turned around, her face went as pale as a sheet. She felt like she had been struck by lightning when she saw the apathetic and disgusting looks directed at her by everyone in the room. They made her want the ground to burst and swallow her whole. She had b
Chapter 10 “Pa!” Ethan was surprised when the hot slap landed on his cheek. He only felt a burning pain that he has never felt before. He let go of Olivia and placing his hand on his burning cheek, he looked at the woman with a deadly stare. She actually dared to raise her hand and slap her? Maybe she needed a Nobel prize because she was the first person to land a slap on his face. “Did you… did you just raise your hand at me?” Ethan asked. His aura was overpowering and the car was immediately filled with a cold aura, making the driver shiver. Even the assistant almost choked on the saliva he was about to swallow. Olivia moved even further to the door. She was just angry and this man kept provoking her. Couldn’t he see that she wanted absolutely nothing to do with him? “I am asking you, did you just slap me?” Ethan’s low and deep voice sounded in her ear. Olivia felt herself tremble from fear. She regretted the moment she raised her hand to slap him. She knew that Ethan was a d
Chapter 11 Having said that, Ethan moved closer and caught Olivia in his arms. Looking at her teary face and the anger that was about to spit out of her big, glassy eyes, Ethan found her more appealing. Although she was angry and she could not probably wait to strangle him to death, he found her extremely cute and attractive. He could not help but want to move even closer and tease her further. She was like a kitten that has been denied milk by its owner, so pitiful yet cute at the same time. Ethan lightly brushed his finger across Olivia’s cherry-colored lips. Her mouth was just the right size. It was neither big nor small. Every time he kissed her, his tongue would fit in perfectly, making him not want to let go. They were not too soft or hard. They were just right for kissing, making him so drown in the passion just by kissing her. Olivia stared at the man looking at her with his predatory gaze and felt the fire of anger inside of her body rise again. Although there were not
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
