Olivia

I woke up to the kick of a throbbing headache, I quickly grabbed a pillow covering my head. I couldn’t remember anything from last night nevertheless how I got home. I rolled on my back pouting my lips and keeping the pillow over my face. I did not dare to open my eyes and face the light. That's what you get when you trust Sam with the drinks. The pillow smelled like a man's perfume.

Oh no, did I bring someone with me at home? My father will kill me! I moved away from the pillow opening my eyes when I faced a weird ceiling. It wasn't the ceiling of my house. What the hell did I do last night? Did I hook up with a stranger? Was this his bedroom? My mother must be worried about me.

I stood on my feet checking if I had my clothes on. I still had my dress from last night on. The room was weird, almost everything was black. I took my heels at the end of the bed and tried to leave like a thief. I didn't want to confront the owner of the house. I pushed the door open and went out of that bedroom but the house was huge there were many doors. How was I supposed to get out of there without being noticed? I walked on my tiptoes, looking at every side to avoid people seeing me. But the house seemed empty like a ghost lived there. Distracted by the painting in the walls, me being me it is impossible not to be distracted because I get bored easily and love art. Well, I being distracted didn't notice the man who stood in front of me. I almost crashed into his muscular body. He had a blank face I couldn't read his emotions.

"H-hi!" I stuttered trying to regain my balance because I almost fell.

"This way." He said coldly before turning his back on me.

Was he showing me the way out of there? But when I saw the gun in the back of his pants I realized there wasn't an easy escape. What have I gotten myself into last night? What did I have to do with men who have guns? Would they sell me or kill me? I tried to cover my fear and take some information from that cold man.

"So, last night I was drunk, completely wasted. You know people when they get drunk they say or do things they don't mean it. And I.. maybe I said and did something, but look I apologize for whatever I said and did." I followed him behind talking like a parrot all the time, but not a single word got out of that man's mouth until we reached a door.

 He knocked before opening the door for me.

"This isn't the way out." My hands were trembling and my knees went weak.

What were they gonna do to me? I didn't take a step in, instead I walked back.

"I want to leave. I want to get out of here." I told the man in an ordering tone.

" Get in. " The man spoke through his teeth.

I was thinking about my chances, If I ran and tried to escape I didn't know the way out and he was probably going to kill me. I gave him a threatening look before going inside that office. I kept my heels in both my hands, to use them like weapons to protect myself. The man pulled the door closed leaving me alone in that room with the monster that sat with his back on me. I cleared my throat to let him know I was there. He didn't turn around. I knocked with my ring on the desk to gain his attention, but still nothing.

My heart was about to explode inside my chest. Anxiety kissed my body with each second that passed and the man who had his back on me wasn't turning his chair around. I could only see the clouds of smoke, he was smoking. What was I doing at this place?

"Oh, damn it!" I groaned putting the back of my hand on my head because I refused to let my weapons down, I mean my heels.

My head was exploding from pain as well, I had my eyes half closed when finally the chair turned around and I tried to stay like a soldier puffing my chest ahead and raising my chin. Why was I even doing that? Probably because the man sitting on the chair was a Greek god, and that caught me off guard. You could see the muscles from his black shirt, the first buttons unbuttoned. Or should I start with his unruly hair and his black beard that emphasized his green eyes and his perfectly toned skin?

"If you're done checking me out you may sit." His husky voice made my knees go weak.

I almost fell, blushing and getting caught.

"I. I didn't.."

For the first time in my life, I didn't know what to say and I was stuttering like a teenager in front of her crush.

The man smirked lighting another cigarette. I had to sit because otherwise I would fall and embarrass myself furthermore. His green eyes returned to me and my breath almost got stuck in my lungs. I was going crazy, maybe I hadn't recovered yet from last night's state. I closed my eyes taking deep breaths from my nose and letting it go from my mouth.

"Are you alright, miss?" When he spoke again I was ready to swear that the voice was the same, only more masculine. I shook my head chuckling to myself before opening my eyes.

 "Who are you?" It went out of my mouth like a threatening.

"Do you remember what happened last night?" He ignored my question.

 I had a huge headache and I couldn't remember a damn thing that happened after I had my second drink.

"No." I shook my head.

"Why am I here? How did I get here?" I asked, putting all my attention on the unknown gorgeous man.

"You don't remember what happened last night? " He said it more to himself raising his brow.

We first met in the club, then you stalked me at my house, broke an entry into my room and now you ask my father for my hand in marriage?"Her body was fueling up with rage but her eyes remained soft like the person I always knew her to be."Well, Everything happens for a reason. It's just a coincidence that we keep meeting." I grinned."Don't you dare lie to me, Why did you ask for my hand in marriage?"She asked me this time, looking at me like I was worthless.Crossing her arms in front of her chest."Oh did you receive the news from your father, my dear future wife?" I smiled and suddenly her face lit up with more anger."Don't you dare call me that! I will never be your wife or woman!

I yelled after the devil left the room.Obviously he was the devil!What kind of a man will chose to marry a woman with no feeling or knowing her !Only a devil can and that room was his personal hell .Actually his entire house was hell in my opinion.. But if he thought I would share a room with him, he was wrong. Damn wrong! There wasn't even a damn sofa in that room, only the huge bed. The colors were black as expected, like his dark soul.I quickly unzipped my suitcase to remove the dress that was suffocating my life.Having it on only remind me of the pain that I’ve inflicted on myself.

Why am I using my clothes when he should be the one to provide a bed for his wife? That's why I used the jackets he had in his dresser. They were huge and soft, probably worth a

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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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
