Edward~

Approaching to explain to her, a crowd appeared between us and she left. I looked around and couldn't find her.

"What is wrong with you?"

Kit asked, placing his palm on my shoulder.

"I guess, I saw Olive!"

"Of course, you should feel guilty. But I mean why did you accept her invitation?"

Kit complained.

"I didn't give her hope."

I told him and walked out.

"Where are you going?"

"Seeing Grandpa! Then, I'll go home soon to see if Olive is angry with me!"

I heard him cursing.

We met Grandpa in his office and talked about the company's recent struggles and I suggested Grandpa come and visit me in my mansion, on Saturday night. There were particular unsolved things I should have fixed before marrying Olive.

As soon as we came out of the office, we stumbled upon my grandma.

"How was your day, Grandma?"

I asked. I didn't want to be chastised today and wished she would let me go in peace.

Seeing my grandfather's happy face was worth everything, she was here to ruin it. He *ssumed that

    Olive~I have been sleeping in a different room for the past three days. Either way, I couldn't forgive him but felt his free cold space.It proved to me how addicted I had become to this man. I shall not be worried about him but I was. When he discovered I tried to keep my distance away, he gave me a cold shoulder which made me more pessimistic about his decision.I didn't want to marry him if his emotions were based on pity and feeling guilty for what he did.He used to leave early in the morning, and I couldn't notice when he got back. It must be late.We avoided making any other communication since that night. I pulled my coat up to my nose, making shapes on the snow. The tip of my forefinger turned pink.I loved this shore and how it was drawn while being dressed in snow."It is too cold, should you not get back inside?"Mira asked."No, I feel good to hear the gentle sound of the waves. The sea is calm."Charlie approached us."You have guests tonight. You might catch a cold."I

    Kit~"You three go to the next lane. We will block the way."I commanded my men. We got a few reports that people were being rubbed and attacked here, recently.This area was calm until last month. But the cases have increased night after night. No one had the guts to try me. I was curious how they had become this bold out of the blue.When I bought this casino, and some other buildings, I made sure no one was going to mess around. This district was already notorious and it had cost me an arm and a leg to bring safety for over five years."Boss, they are armed!"We heard gunshots and covered up in blind points.Tobin indicated at a small half-built apartment, "We must trap them in there. Less danger for people!"I nodded when I found it more logical."Lead them to us!"I asked my men in the next lane. He copied my order and we waited, ready.We heard footsteps and shouts. They were coming to us. Tobin and I rushed to the building and ambushed.Three young men came inside the building

    Olive~Looking at the clock on the wall, I frowned. It was eight o'clock and our guests would arrive anytime soon.As I expected, the security called and informed us about their arrival.Huxley and I went to greet them. His nervousness was apparently on the point.“Daughter! It is delightful to see you again.”After ending the rituals, and greeting them, they took their seats and Mr. Johnson looked around.My back chilled as I knew who he was looking for."Where is Ed?""He is on the way! I'm sure he will arrive soon!" It was the weekend and I had no other excuse.He nodded.“Please help yourself with something warm.”Mira and another maid served them with warm tea. Emily kept glancing at me and made it a hard time to run.And suddenly the security called Huxley. He came and whispered something strange in my ear."Your father and his wife are here."I blinked, then swallowed. What?Mr. Johnson was looking at me!"Your parents must be here."He smiled.That should be him who invited th

    Olive~Last night I didn't talk to Edward nor did I want to show an impulsive reaction toward what he did. Besides, his friends confirmed they were together when she appeared. But it was obvious she was in love and worried about him.Anyway, Edward and I were done yet I had to wait for a few days.Bang!I winced when Layla struck her palm against the book. We were sitting in my room. It was Sunday evening and she came to visit me to find out how they treated me last night.“His grandma doesn't like me. She prefers Maya. They almost picked up a fight l.”"I must find this girl!"I sighed when she indicated that."Let her be! I have no grudge. She is innocent."Her eyes widened, "She is seducing your husband! How can you be this calm and optimistic?"I bit my lower lip. This girl was not like Elenore."Tomorrow we are going to the town hall to be your witnesses! Don't tell me that you are fine if he invites her!?"I squeezed my fingers, "You should help me!""I say so! I can go kick tha

    Layla~"Are you mad at me?"I rolled my eyes away! The way he treated David made me think twice before going any further with him."Why did you hurt, David?""Heck, here you come again!""Why? Are you terrified that I realize what you are capable of doing?"He gazed at me in bewilderment and put the coffee down on the table. He bought me coffee from my favorite place to earn my heart."I'll tell you what you want to know but before that, you answer my question! Why don't you come out of your room? It has been two days and you didn't even answer my phone calls. If you don't care about me, then why are you sad and locked yourself here?""Your loving friend treated Olive like a monster. She is so important to me and you *ssist him in accusing her."He dragged a chair back and sat in front of me."I didn't *ssist him. We were p*ssing by when we saw you. He is possessive, I know but he is in love, and I can't control my grown brother."I drummed my fingers on the table."Did he cancel the

    Maya~As I walked on the red carpet, People started talking about me. Yesterday, I paid a reporter to release an article about my career and biography, and it went viral.People have been searching for more information, and I was keen to give them what they wanted.The next step was to show up around Ed.A few reporters asked me questions and I answered them.And one of them asked a useful question.“Are you going to date Mr. Johnson?”I smiled gently, “We are just good friends and business partners.”“What about the future, is it going to be a simple friendship?”I skipped this one and left immediately.Going inside the gallery, I encountered many prestigious people. They turned around to see who I would bring to accompany me. Some of them knew me only by name but had dealt with my father and worked with him. I never involved myself with his people and barely knew them.My eyes sought Edward and found him with his friends. I didn't approach as long as I grasped the heavy air surround

    Maya~He was entirely intoxicated and barely could stand on his feet, his eyes squinting.During our dance, he smashed my feet a few times but I endured and smiled, making sure to cover his missteps.We got back to a table and he picked another shot."You fool son! How could you get drunk on such a night?"His grandma came along and blamed him again. I was familiar with this behavior. In the past, she used to blame him for every single mistake and he was always careful not to upset her. But the man I found now was bold and carefree about what others wanted.He had become an attractive ruthless man. A heartbreaking one!"Oh, darling! Can you do me a favor?""Sure, anything!""Take him to the presidential suite."She p*ssed me a digital key card. I was startled. I planned to take him to my own suite but she made it easier to bring excuses."It is fine! I'll take him to get some rest. Shall I call his wife?""Oh, my dear! What wife are you talking about?"“I have a wife, grandma!” He gro

    Kit~I was standing behind a pillar, smoking in the parking lot when Maya entered. I was waiting for her to come so I could have a decent chat with her.Turning around, I blocked her path. She jolted and paced back!"Oh, that's you!"“Yeah!”I dropped and smashed the cigarette and turned it off. Blowing the smoke on her face, I grinned when she didn't cough or show disgust. She was smokey and needed one now! I saw that the other day when she met Elenore."Is it not rude to behave like this?""What are you doing here?"I raised a question."Excuse me? Should I explain that I'm on my way back home?"I shook my head, "I give no d*mn about where you go! What are you doing between Edward and his wife? Is it John who asked you to come back?"She was ambitious! I had searched about her family and they weren't soft on her.Her face lost the confidence she was emitting a while ago to conceal her terror. She knew I was too blunt to speak blatantly."I came back to my home country to accomplish

    Olive~The next day, I woke up early and took a shower with Edward. When he was drying my hair with the towel, I grabbed his hand and asked him to sit down."What do you think, should I go and see her?"He shrugged, "If you ask my opinion, they were cruel to you."He paused and kissed my knuckles, "But if you don't see her now, it remains your biggest regret. You'll be thinking about it constantly."I nodded, "Would you come with me?""Of course, you are not in a situation to be alone."I cupped his face and kissed him as hard as I could. As we parted, he smiled, "Then we should get ready now. Give me that *ssh*le's number. I'll call him."I laughed! Was he talking about Arvin? He wasn't a bad person, poor guy.Giving him the phone number, I got dressed and we were ready to leave when Mira caught us in the living room."What about your breakfast?"Mira asked us."We will eat outside!"Ed replied and we got out. An hour later, we met Arvin in front of the hospital."She had a bad night

    Kit~I took the last sip of my drink and tapped on Tobin's shoulder."Party is over for us. Time to give some lessons to John!"I peeked at John who was talking to a few of his friends. He was entirely distracted when I approached Elenore.Near her ear, I whispered, "Let's talk in the parking lot!""What for?"I winked at her, "Speaking my heart to you!"I gave her a seductive grin, one of those I rarely offered someone with. She was unnerving and troublesome. As Ed indicated, we could not let her off this easily.I rushed to the parking lot of the hotel. The engagement party was growing hotter and no one paid attention to our absence.Everyone's attention was on the music group we invited.As I expected, my trick toiled on her. It wasn't a surprise. She liked powerful men and it didn't cost me much to lure her.I walked out of the dark, leaning on my car.She smiled and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear."Well, what is the word of your heart?"Tobin appeared behind her, shak

    Edward~It took me two days to come back to a stable condition. During that time, Olive didn't leave my side. I was elated she had become more cautious.She didn't leave my side at all and was supposed to read books and take good care of me. Seeing this side of her made me even more fall over my heels for her.I couldn't wait for the day I could walk again. But there was something that bothered me a lot.I was not sure whether to ask her or not. I was terrified to say something she didn't like and anger her. Losing her could not take any place in my dish.I was tired of losing people and being disappointed.However, I took the bitter pill and swallowed it, asking her about the reason why she freaked out and left me."Olive, stop m*ssaging my legs, they are much better now.""You were groaning in pain last night. I must keep doing these till you become able to walk and sleep better.""Then just give me your ears."She nodded. She looked even more stunning than before."I'm all ears, do

    Olive~The next day, I couldn't sit by and ignore what was going on in the ICU. Layla hadn't come to visit me since this morning, and I refused to eat unless they let me see how Edward's condition was.It was around noon when Layla came inside and scowled at me."Have you not eaten?"I shook my head."I lost my relish. They do not let me see him.""You can't go inside the room. His lungs have been infected and you are not still in a perfect condition. We must take care of him.""Have you moved here because of us?"She bobbed her head, "Half of the day here and the other half in the central hospital. I'm an exception but this is temporary."I tried to blink my tears away but it kept coming."Hey, hey! Don't do this!"She approached and held my hand, her expression saddened."I'm worried. I won't go inside, just behind the gl*ss, please!"She let out a heavy breath and tapped on my hand."Only a few minutes, you know the rules."She nodded and helped me to get down the bed.She held my

    I struggled to open the seat belt. And the car was drowning. My heart hurt and my lungs lacked air.I was losing consciousness when I felt a hand on my shoulder.The surroundings around me reversed. A chubby cute little boy grabbed my hand."Mommy! This way!"We began to run in the garden, it was a warm delightful sunny day. Suddenly, everything swayed into the wild waters, the boy was floating, and I struggled to hold his hand."Don't let go!"I shouted but his hand slipped and he drifted further and farther away.I screamed desperately, begging for help.I blinked and opened my eyes, masculine arms wrapped around me and pulled me up. They lifted me above the water's surface.~Edward~Her car fell into the water and I didn't hesitate, pulling over there I jumped down. Losing her was nothing I could bear.The car was drowned when I reached her and unbuckled the seat belt. I felt my lungs running out of air and pulled her out, swimming up, I pushed her up with all my might.If one of

    Edward~Lately, my hands were tied. I was looking for Gregory and his influences when I heard Interpol had arrested them. I used my connections to talk with Maya's attorney in a restaurant."Why would they arrest Maya?""Are you going to help her out?"I shook my head, "If she had killed her boyfriend, why should I do that at all?""It was your wife who sent her to jail! She plotted against her and Maya won't forgive this."My head grew numb! Olive? How did she realize this? How did she manage? She couldn't be alone."Then I must thank her! I was about to trust Maya again. Besides, I want you to send a message to Mason."The attorney frowned, "We don't seek war!""Neither do I want that. Just tell him to restrain his people. If something happens to Kit again, I will burn this world, let alone his community."I menaced and he just looked at me. I got what I wanted. I needed to hear this from Olive and possibly Dane. She couldn't gather information about Maya and Gregory alone so the br

    Elenore~John was sucking on my breasts. He returned last night and after greeting his grandfather, he asked to visit me in a hotel."Why did you disappear?"I breathed, gasping!He moaned and hushed me. Half an hour later, we plunged into the mattress and he dragged me close to his chest."I realized Maya failed to do the job!"I burst into laughter."How long have you known about her?"He kissed my shoulder, it tingled my skin."Last year, I saw her father in a meeting in the US. He asked me whether I could gain the CEO position. I said if I gained it, would he invest in our company? He revealed his interest."My mood soured after hearing it, "To get what in exchange?""He *ssumed I would marry his daughter!""And you would have accepted only to burn Ed's *ss!""Nope! I knew about her secrets and how dangerous she was. She killed a man to gain his wealth."My back chilled and I turned around to face him."Are you fu*king serious?"He nodded and his fingers brushed on my curves."Yup

    Olive~"He has no idea that whore is tempted to kill his best friend! How can he keep his affairs with her!"My heart was broken. I felt my eyes getting warm and stopped my brain from overthinking.The next day, I was sitting in the garden when he came to me. He reached his hand out to pull the blanket upper on my shoulder when I dodged."Are you going to meet your grandpa?"My voice was cold but I tried not to make him suspicious."Yes, I am; it is cold, are you not going inside?""It is getting warm, I'm fine."He kneeled before me, putting on the same disgusting soft act."Do you need anything?""Yes, not to see your face every second!"I swallowed. I lied! Deeply, I wish we had known each other in some other way. Even though it couldn't change his desires! His heart belonged to the people in the past.He stood up and kissed my head, "I'll be back late. Make sure you eat well."I ignored him but peeked to see if he left.I jumped on my feet and stormed inside."Layla and I are goin

    Maya~"Where are you, Elenore? Are you ignoring me?"I have been calling you since yesterday."I heard the news, she is pregnant! But how can you be sure that’s Edward's child?"This b*tch told me Olive was a virgin and now giving me a conceivable reason.She has changed!"You say that you have no interest in helping me, don't you?""Listen, she is pregnant. He won't give up on her. Just stop bothering yourself and wasting time."I hung up immediately, punching the table in front of me. The coffee spilled out of the cup. I looked outside of the window.I have been staying in this hotel to make sure the house I would step in was going to be his."I won't lose to a stupid girl. He wants to be with her, so I let him leave this world but not now.."I was about to dial Gregory's number when an unknown phone number appeared on my screen."Let's see each other.""Olive?""Yes, I want to talk to you.""I'll send you the location."So serious!
