Olivia waited for a few seconds, imagining how the knife would pierce through her heart, but it didn't. Instead, her attention was captured by the sudden sound that sounded like a stumble.She opened her eyes slowly, only to see Layla on the floor, bleeding. Next to her was Alden.She smiled faintly before she stood up. She walked up to Alden, who was about to punch the already injured Layla.“Stop. Please don't harm her,” she begged.Even though Layla wanted her to harm her, she doesn't want to reciprocate. She wants Layla to rot in jail this time.Rather than a few patches and bandages on her skin, spending the remaining days of her life in prison would be much better.“Why shouldn't I? This bitch almost killed you! What if I wasn't here on time?” He turned to face Olivia before asking. His eyes were red, a reflection of rage in his eyes. “You should have reported to the police.”“I can't. It would ruin the company—”“Is this company more important than your life? If you did, what d
“Boss, you would end up behind bars if you try that,” Jane smiled faintly as she watched her boss lose control.Cut off a man's dick? That would be too much if she were asked.Olivia, who understood what Jane said, sat down before calming down. Harming Aziel is just like giving him an excuse for his actions. The best punishment someone like Aziel deserves is to rot in jail.If he spent the rest of his life in prison, he would end up losing everything and stop being a threat to her. Also, no lady would end up becoming his victim.“You are right,” Olivia's lips tilted as she smiled darkly. “Cutting off his dick and giving him freedom is too luxurious for him. I think spending the rest of his life in prison would be better.”“Don't be ridiculous. No one in the Crawford family has ever been imprisoned. The Crawford family would cover it for him. They own almost everything in this country. There is nothing the Crawfords can't do,” Jane replied with fear written on her face.This is exactly
“Either you are a sadist or a monster, I don't care any longer. I just want to be with you all day. I want you to cuddle me, kiss me, and fu…fuck me!” Olivia uttered boldly, emphasizing her last statement.Alden chuckled at her words. He felt the same for her, but did his feelings matter? In the end, she would leave him like his parents and Sarah.He did not bother to reply to her words before leaving the mansion.“You are truly a monster,” Olivia shouted, loud enough for him to hear.She cried for a while before returning to her room. Starting from the moment they met to how he saved her from Layla, everything replayed in her head.It doesn't matter what the world sees him as. To her, he was just her angel. Her guiding angel.Her thoughts went on for a while until she finally dozed off.***Woken up by the alarm set by Alden, she opened her eyes slowly. She sat up before cleaning her face.She reached out for her phone before checking the time; it was 10:00 am.“Wait… is this a dream
“Thank you, brother. I heard I am still breathing because you helped me get a heart transplant and—”“And will you just save the rest of 'thank you' for later and get out of the car?” Alden's question cut Dario off.Alden assisted Dario out of the car and into the living room. The moment they walked into the living room, all gazes were directed at him instead of Dario, who barely escaped death.He knew those gazes were out of curiosity. He was also aware of their intentions of asking him tons of questions, which they held back because Dario wasn't back yet.“Dario, I just heard from your grandmother that you passed out due to heart failure and were taken to Italy for a heart transplant,” Ryan said after walking up to his nephew. “I wish you a speedy recovery, and Alden, thank you for not giving up on your brother. You didn't make the mistake you made twelve years ago.”Alden clenched his fist, trying his best to stay calm. He knew what his uncle was up to. Ryan was trying to provoke h
A Few Days Later…Alden, who had been away to avoid thinking about Olivia or confusing her, finally returned.He headed to her room. At the entrance, he knocked faintly on the door until a faint voice echoed, 'I am coming.'“Alden?” Olivia, who thought she wouldn't see his face until their deal ended, called out in a questioning tone.“I came for the document I forgot,” he informed her, avoiding eye contact.“You came here for a document or because you miss me? Also, aren't you going to tell me about your inauguration? Or do you think I won't be aware of that?” Olivia asked with a faint smile.Alden did not bother replying to her question before he left for his room. He got the document he needed and left the house without caring about Olivia, who was staring at him with sadness reflected in her eyes.‘Why am I acting like a fool? This sh!t is going to end today,’ Olivia said inwardly as she watched him leave.She walked into her room, took her bath, and dressed up. After she was done
Aziel's fingers trailed down her left nipple, right under her bra, his hand pinning her down.“Let me go, you monster! I know nothing about the shit you just said!” Knowing Jane couldn't betray her since there isn't any reason for that, Olivia yelled, trying her best to push him off her.Seeing how adamant Olivia was, he decided to reveal the truth to her. “Newsflash; I used Jane to get to you. I told her to do this, and the foolish lady did exactly so. It must be true, Love makes you foolish.”“She didn't even know the words I told her to tell you were true. Please do tell her to come visit me, there are clients asking for the video,” he added shamelessly.If there was anything Olivia wished right now, it should be the freedom to move her hands. She knew if she could, she could slap Aziel so hard that her fingers would create a red scar on his face.“You are a beast!” Olivia cried out.Aziel burst into laughter, actually enjoying the misery Olivia was in. “No one is saving you now!”
Thank you for saving me. I owe you one,” Olivia said with a faint smile after drinking the tea that calmed her. The tea was prepared by Dario, his acclaimed special recipe.Dario chuckled before speaking, “There is no need to thank me. If I can't save my brother's wife, or rather, the woman my brother loves, why am I alive?”“No need to exaggerate. You sure know how to sweet-talk people,” Olivia teased.“Haha, I am not exaggerating. I know your marriage was a fake one. The marriage certificate was a bit different from the authentic one,” Dario replied calmly. “Also, when we were in Italy, Alden told me he loves and misses you a lot.”Before Olivia could laugh at Dario's words and tag it as a joke, her phone rang. She hesitated before picking up.“Are you Mrs. Kendrick?”“Yes, I am. Olivia Kendrick, Alden's wife,” she replied hastily, wondering what the call might be about.“Your husband had an accident and has been rushed to Alfred Hospital. The doctor needs your approval before he ca
It's been days since Alden was unconscious. Olivia kept blaming herself, while Jane kept coming to the hospital, hoping Olivia would forgive her.“Alden, it's been a week. If you don't wake up, I can't help but replace you with Atlas. I am sorry,” Grandma Katherine said, holding Alden's hand.The day she was informed Alden had an accident, she thought it was a nightmare. She found it hard to believe until this moment.“Good day, Madam Crawford,” the doctor greeted after he walked into the hospital to check up on Alden.“Doctor, are you sure he will wake up?” Grandma Katherine asked, sounding like all hope is lost.“Don't worry, Madam, we will make sure he wakes up. Though I can't assure. But the longest coma patient in this hospital was two years. So be rest assured,” the doctor reassured her before checking on Alden.Grandma Katherine heaved a sigh before she stood up. She walked up to Olivia, who acted like she didn't exist.“Thank you for being by his side, Olivia,” she said softly
