ClydeWas that real? Was she really in my arms, lying next to me and looking me in the eye? I had missed her eyes, so dark and meaningful. Her eyes were like arrows, whenever she looked at me an arrow would be shot right into my chest and my heart would start beating like crazy. The person I have wanted since I was a young foolish boy who didn't know what love was, was now with me, was mine if I dared to call her so."I built a wooden house for you," I said out of nowhere and she widened her dark eyes in surprise."You built a wooden house for me?" She repeated my words."And I burnt it down out of rage." I ran my palm over my face."Why?" This time she narrowed her eyes as if not understanding the motive."Why did I burn it down or why the rage?" I tried to specify it."Why did you build a house for me?" I didn't expect that question."Because you loved wood houses. You dreamt of having one. I still remember how your eyes shone bright when you described every little detail. How your
OliviaDaniel, or, more accurately, Clyde. His new name was something I had to adjust to. He liked being in control and body but when he was beside me, his puppy eyes begged to be held and kissed despite his dictatorial and wicked demeanor. However, it was funny. His lips worked miracles on my neck, While we were both on our knees on the bed, and I was going crazy from his hands on my waist and the back of my neck. We were interrupted by the annoying ringtone."Let it ring." Clyde moaned on my lips and I had to gather all my strength to get away from his lips to speak."It may be important. Let me see who it is.""No." He said it like he was giving an order, but made my stomach do backflips."Yes. In just a second, I will keep it short I promise." I leaned to grab my phone while he groaned falling on his back on the bed."It is my sister." I narrowed my eyes, what would she want at that time?"Hello?" I said not expecting to be greeted by her sobbing on the other side of the line."Ol
ClydeI felt like the strongest man alive as long as Olivia was with me, and no one could take me down. It's also said that love weakens people, and I demonstrated this with my skin, but it made me harsher rather than weaker. I had to leave Olivia at the hospital, who was I to steal the moments she had with her mother while she is still alive? My mother left us too soon, so I only had my father. I have killed a lot of people, therefore I can't say that I would kill to relive my moments with him. My dreams stopped long ago, and I have blood on my hands.I let Olivia’s stepsister flirt with me when we were alone, and I made it look like I started becoming interested in her because I wanted to prove to Olivia that I was right. I didn't understand why she changed her attitude and acted like she was offended at the last minute. The bi*ch slapped me, but I was used to fists and guns, that slap was nothing to me. But no bi*ch slaps me, especially her. I would make her pay later.I dealt wit
ClydeSomething was off. Olivia was acting weird, whenever I pulled her close, she would find a way to keep her distance. She always found an excuse not to get too close to me physically. And she was overdressed for a family dinner. There was something wrong from the moment she woke up. At first, I thought she might have been worried about her mother. Then I thought she must have had a bad dream. But there was something behind her fake smiles and a strange attitude. And to top it all off, her step-sister was overdressed for a family dinner as well as if they planned it together. Only that her dress was way more revealing than that of Olivia’s. Apart from the fact that she was asking that stupid fiance of her step-sister questions since we sat at the table, she wanted to change seats with her sister to sit next to him."I want to hear all the details, Roland. Do you mind If I sit next to him sis?" She asked her step-sister and my head went automatically towards my wife grabbing her ha
Clyde"Your father is a self-centered man, he doesn't care about people's lives. He only cares about money. The building where my father and the others were working wasn't safe and your father knew about it but he still didn't care. He wanted the money, so when it all fell and all those people died, what did he do? He bribed the families some money to remain silent and not file a case against him!"I turned my head to look at her eyes filled with tears. I turned my head to the other side wiping a tear that threatened to fall and hide it from her."I'm sure there's an explanation to all of this, maybe he didn't know." She tried to justify him."He knew!" I hit with my palm on the steering wheel."He knew because he signed all the papers. I have all the evidence I need!"I turned my head again towards her who unbuckled her seat belt and turned her body towards mine."Then what are you going to do? How are you going to take your revenge? By hitting on my sister as well? By playing with h
ClydeWhile driving home, she dozed off with her head resting on my shoulder. I smelled her without thinking that it was real or that I was dreaming. At long last, I finally had her. However, my thoughts were interrupted by a car that stopped right in front of me and I had to stop the vehicle abruptly."What happened?" Olivia woke up and I kept her body steady with my arm.Two unknown men got out of the car with guns in their hands. I learned to cover her with my body, unbuckling her seat belt in the process. "Stay down and lock all the doors." I kissed her forehead and waited until she was no longer visible to the men outside.“Wait! What are you doing?" She whispered at me with panic in her voice, holding my hand."Stay down, I'll be back shortly." I pulled away closing the car door behind me. My grip on my gun became stronger. I never had been afraid before, but now I had Olivia with me. And was I scared? I was full of rage, my blood was boiling."What do you want?" I stood in f
OliviaI sprinted to the bathroom and I puked until my knees fell causing me to fall. My hands were trembling, my whole body was shaking. I was a murderer! I killed someone! And Daniel was downstairs not blinking his eyes while Gabriel took the bullet out of his arm. Not a single face feature moved. I had to bite my tongue whenever I wanted to call him Daniel. Maybe it was true, what he said, he wasn't Daniel anymore. And I was afraid of myself while staying close to his new version. Was that kind of life for me? Was I really brave enough or monstrous enough to take life like they belonged to me? On top of it, the cherry on the cake was my sister. I wanted to forget everything. I wanted to forget that I found Daniel and we kissed and did a lot more. I wanted to forget that my sister set a trap for me to separate us when we weren't even together. I wanted to forget that my father sold me for money to his enemy. If he found out that Clyde was Daniel, I don't know If he would approve my
Clyde"Who are you?" I asked, and then suddenly my phone rang.I saw Gabriel's name on the screen and declined the call. We were both pointing guns at each other."Well, clearly, you don't know who I am because you're a fake, it seems like you haven't done your homework." She always had a foxy smile on her face.Gabriel insisted again and again on the phone. I accepted the call putting my phone in my ear with the other hand, keeping my gun pointed at her. "Not now, Gabriel! I'll call you later." I said to him."Since you're still alive, it means you met him," Gabriel sighed from the other end of the phone."It's not he, it's a she." I kept looking at the woman.Taking off your eyes in a staring contest with the enemy shows how weak you are."Is that Gabriel? Tell him Kathy said hi." She smirked."Who the hell is Kathy?" My voice boomed and I could hear Gabriel cursing."She's Clyde’s girlfriend. I mean was. " Gabriel explained."Look, Kathy..." I had to improvise.Maybe that woman wa
OliviaI kept having sleepless nights due to the same noises that I kept hearing at night . It sounded like footsteps outside of the bedroom, and the doorknob attempted to turn. I always locked my door before I slept. I had called down to Arthur, who said he didn’t see anyone. It was hard to argue that this incident was in my head.I couldn't make it another night; I was a bit terrified so I asked Julia to come and stay with me tonight. After a long day of work, I needed a good rest and I would feel better if someone I trusted was with me. She agreed after I had explained the events to her. She felt that it was hard to ignore the doorknob too.We picked up some Chinese takeout and arrived at the mansion. I didn’t feel like cooking anything tonight because I was too exhausted. We took it into the kitchen and ate. It was silent until Julie finally spoke.“So when does your husband return.” She asked.“I don’t know yet. Let me try to call him.” I pulled my phone out and dialed Daniel's
OliviaThe next day, the alarm buzzed me through my sleep,I needed to get ready for work,it was seven. I climbed out of bed, took a quick shower to boost me up, and wore a navy blue skirt and a white shirt,I threw my hair in a bun and added a bit of makeup.I felt tired because I didn't have much sleep last night, any noise that I heard would wake me up.It didn't feel right that I hid it from Daniel but I didn't want him worrying, maybe it was all in my head and if anything Arthur was there to protect me.I informed Arthur to meet me in the car at eight sharp. When I came through the house door ,he was waiting in the car for me.I got into the back seat and shut the door.“Good morning Mrs Harrison.” He greeted.“Good morning,” I responded. I couldn't help but ask him about last night.“Hey, did you have company at the house last night?”“No, it was just me, why? Did something happen?” His tone showed he was concerned. He was driving to the store at this point.“No, I thought I had he
OliviaDaniel left immediately after assigning me a temporary bodyguard. This was the first time we were going to be apart through our marriage, but it was his work and I respected that. He arranged everything for me easily so I had nothing hard on my plate.I made him promise to call me every day before he goes to bed.Julia and I finished organizing the storage room and Arthur was now the one who would drive me around for a few days. I decided to drop Julia home and then he returned me to the mansion.“You and Mr Harrison are such a lovely couple.” Julia teased after we had gotten into the back of the car. “Oh hush.” I chuckled as Arthur began to drive.“Maybe one day I’ll get me someone who treats me like a queen like he does you.” She sighed. “You know every time you guys are seen in public you’re a hot topic on social media right?” I hardly spend time on my social media. I couldn’t remember the last time I posted something. “Oh, I have gotten used to them all.” Last tim
OliviaThe next morning, we both set off to our work, I needed to get some stuff done at the store with the help of Julia. I assumed she started helping me right away since she had experience in-store work,I gave her the position of being the manager.The staff and I were organizing the storage room and then someone interrupted my focus."Liv!" Julia called out from the store.She wanted to call me Madam Olivia, but I insisted that she call me Liv.I walked out of the storage room "What is it?""It's your husband, he had his secretary call, he needs to go to his office immediately,"She said.Was the problem? He usually calls my direct line."Okay,"I nodded."I will be back then."She nodded as she continued work.Gabriel parked the car in the parking garage. Once we got out of the car he led the way and I followed beside him. We walked to the elevator and headed to the thirty-second floor where Daniel's office was. Once upstairs he took a seat outside of the secretary’s office.“Hey Ra
Olivia After sitting through multiple interviews, we decided to hire four people. I didn't feel we needed as many staff as we just started. On the other hand, Daniel did try to convince me to hire more employees but I managed to talk him out of it. We hired Julia with three others who stood out to both of us. We will give them their roles and duties next week once we open the store. After our decision was made, Daniel returned to the office, and I went to the store for groceries. For the first time, I was responsible for dinner. I gave our maid the day off. I returned from the store with the groceries for a simple spaghetti dinner. I wasn’t the worst cook but I also didn’t claim to be a chef.It was about four-thirty in the afternoon, and Daniel would be home soon. I had a maid help me get familiar with where everything was stored before she left. She even had put in the fridge some easy meals for me to throw together this week. It was her way of thanking me for giving her a day of
OliviaClyde and I returned home a few hours later, and he went strictly into pleasuring me.I then told him that I wanted to do designs and the next day he didn't hesitate to get me a store right away. The place was perfect, it just needed a bit of touch-up by me and we will be ready to go.He requested that I start doing designs as the renovations were finishing up, and we were waiting for the products to finish being produced. He hired some staff that helped in making it very easy to keep my focus on the designs. We were planning a grand opening for next week, and the applications for employees were going to be released today. The applications would go to Miss Parkers in the human resources department; then she would run them by Clyde and give the necessary callbacks. Once we had a good list of people, the interviews would be held.Since returning from our trip I did get my monthly visitor two weeks later, meaning I wasn’t pregnant. Clyde seemed slightly disappointed when I told him
Olivia Daniel and I got ready as we prepared for our flight back.I threw my hair in a ponytail, our bags were packed as we waited for the car to pick us up."Are you ready?" I asked Daniel.“About as ready as I can get.” He responded with the irritation still in his voice. It had been there since Rachel came to tell him about the meeting with my father.I wrapped my arms around his neck.“Don’t let him ruin our day. We’ll meet with him and then go on about our day.”Daniel nodded. “Let’s go get this over with.”After some hours, we arrived at the prison, where my father waited patiently in his chair with an expressionless face. Daniel held my hand as we approached together. I could tell that I was the only one keeping Clyde calm now."It's nice to see you two again."He greeted us as we sat down."What do you want, we know it was you behind the leaked news," Clyde spoke coldly."I see that you reached straight to the point, You knew I needed that contract, why did you take it?"He resp
OliviaI was utterly shocked at his words and how cold he was. I knew that I lashed out at what I said, but He didn’t even let me explain myself. I just helped him, and he dared to speak to me like that. I could feel my anger losing it because I wasn’t going to just let him pass with how he spoke to me.I quickly stormed out of the bedroom to the living room as he was on the other side of the kitchen island with a bottle of whiskey in his hand. He didn’t acknowledge my presence as he took a shot of the alcohol. He clearly was still upset.I didn't hesitate but broke out the silence .“First off, we are in actual marriage here, not some contract my father put me on but one I accepted you as you are, but you have no right to talk to me like that! A child is a decision we both make, not you!” I raised my voice out of my anger.“I just want you to understand that I'm just not ready for a baby right now. I know we are married, but this life you have is not safe to bring a baby into it until
ClydeI sat patiently at the table as I awaited my client and wife's return. It felt completely odd that Olivia and him were taking longer to come. Olivia knew I was a jealous man, but it didn't feel like she wanted to make me jealous, it felt like she wanted to handle the situation, not that I needed it. I can handle everything. Just when the waitress brought our food, Oliva walked out of the bathroom and Mr Jenkins arrived shortly after her. He still appeared to be a little shaken up, but not as bad as when I left him in the hall. My eyes looked him over and then glanced at Olivia. I couldn’t tell what was going through her mind.“Tell me again, what’s the advantage if I sign with you tonight?” Mr. Jenkins asked.I quickly broke off my stare at Olivia and returned my gaze to Mr Jenkins."Well Mr Jenkins, as the president of the Company,I can have the project start immediately, The press release would look very good for your company rather than having a fraud like Mr Smith being your
