Olivia's Pov Standing in front of Colton Security; the tall building appearing as if it was speaking to the sky, I had thoughts that what I'm searching will I be able to find it here? I have come so far and doesn't matter what I wasn't ready to leave. Clutching hard on my tote bag I made my way inside the company, I choose a full sleeve top to hide my bandage and injuries because the last thing I wanted was those sympathetic looks from people. As soon as I entered the building the receptionist recognised and the smirk on her face didn't go unnoticed. I went to her desk to handover my cellphone and belongings as per the rules but it appeared like she was waiting for the day I come down so that she could insult me. "Here's my bag," I said sliding it on the counter. But she gave me a bitch smile which crawled me, "Sorry to let you know but as per the rules of the company for the interns, you have been missing for almost a week which means the letter of your internship is null and voi
Olivia PovI tried hard to not give in ho my emotions and silently made my way out of the R&D department and I was lucky enough that no one noticed me. At that point of time I was a girl trying not to cry and hiding her face from people may because only a fool not be able to make out that I was tensed my shoulders hunched up and body language closed off. I was trying try to conceal my tears by coverin by turning away from others.Emotionally, I was distressed my eyes were red and puffy from tears, and I sniffle audibly as she trying to control my emotions. Avoiding eye contact and trying to keep my feelings to myself I finally entered the company's first aid room. And the attendant came running towards me to attend my injuries she asked me to give my hands and I did as she asked me to and I saw her face changing into a scowl but before she could ask me anything I shit her up saying, "don't ask and just get this done,"The pain was excruciating. The skin around the injury was red.
Olivia's Pov As I finished packing up my things, stretching my limbs after sitting for hours on end. I glanced around the empty office and let out a sigh of relief, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. Another long day at the office was finally over, and I couldn't wait to leave. I stood up from my desk and made my way towards the elevator, eager to escape the confines of the building. But it was then when my eyes fell on Mia and again she was on a call. I could feel frustration boiling inside me because I had been under surveillance for hours now, all because Vincenzo Colton had asked the assistant to keep a watch on me after what he did. But enough was enough, and I was ready to question back. I marched up to the her desk, my heels clicking against the floor, and glared at her with fire in my eyes. "What's the deal?" I demanded, my voice sharp and cutting. "Why am I being watched like some kind of your boss pet?" Mia, looked up at me her expression neutral. "I'm sorry, it's ju
Victor's PovI woke up startled, my neck aching from having slept in my office chair. I rubbed my eyes and tried to shake off the grogginess, but my mind was still foggy from the unexpected nap.As I looked around, I realized with a sinking feeling that I had fallen asleep while working on a project that was due today for. Panic set in as I tried to recall how much progress I had made the previous night, but my memory failed me. I remembered speaking to her on the call and after hanging up I throwed my head back to have a small power nap but ended up sleepibg for straight four hours. I knew I was fucked. I stumbled out of the chair, my legs unsteady from the awkward position they had been in for hours. My computer screen was still on, displaying the unfinished work that I had left behind.I cursed under my breath, realizing that I had wasted precious time that could have been spent working. I quickly got to my feet and headed for the bathroom, hoping that a splash of cold water on my
Victor's PovAs I entered my penthouse, the familiar scent of lavender and vanilla enveloped me, bringing a sense of calm to my frazzled nerves. I shrugged off my coat and tossed it onto the sofa, letting out a deep sigh.Making my way to the bathroom, I stripped off my clothes and turned on the shower, feeling the hot water cascade over my skin. Closing my eyes, I let the soothing warmth wash away the tension of the day.As the steam filled the room, my mind drifted to the past, to all the struggles and obstacles that I had overcome to get to where I am now. There were moments when I thought I wouldn't make it, but here I am and after her it feels like doesn't matter how hard things will be I have my safe place with me; Miss Olivia Vitalio. As I lathered up my body with soap, I couldn't help but smile at the thought of her. She was the one who made everything worthwhile, who gave me a reason to live."I can't wait to see her again," I muttered to myself.As I rinsed off the soap and
Victor's Pov It was evident that she had not expected to see me by her facial expressions. I could sense her confusion and discomfort, and I knew that I had caught her off guard. Perhaps she had been purposely ignoring me and now she was unsure of what to say or how to react.I could see her mind racing as she searched for the right words to say. Her body language was tense, and she seemed to be avoiding eye contact with me. It was clear that she was caught off guard and didn't know how to handle the situation.As I stood there, I could sense the tension between us, and I wished I could take it away. I wanted to reach out to her and reassure her that everything was okay, but I didn't want to push her away even further.Instead, I waited patiently for her to find her voice, hoping that she would be able to overcome her shock and speak to me, "let's head inside," she knew this very well that there was no more runners ng back from the situation we were presently in. I followed her insi
Olivia's Pov I lay there on my bed in my top, I feel a sense of vulnerability and rawness, stripped down to my most basic self. It's as if the weight of the day's challenges has been lifted off my shoulders, and I am left with nothing but my thoughts. I think about the conversation I had with Vincenzo Colton replaying it in my mind, trying to analyze every word and action. Was I clear in my communication? Did I come across as confident and capable? These questions swirl around in my head, and I find myself replaying the scene over and over again.Fuck him because he was the last person I wanted to think about. Doesn't matter how hard I tried I wasn't able to shake him out of my head so I stood up to grab my laptop and work till I feel sleepy. After entering the password my laptop screen opened and it hit me what I was supposed to do. Logging into it again involved a lot of danger, I felt a sense of unease as I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the laptop in front of me. My han
Olivia's PovAfter all of this I was sure about one thing that doesn't matter what I can't sit back and sleep, I need to know what's going on. Picking up my burner phone from the drawer I dialled the number of my sourceperson. "It's been long, any update," I asked hoping for a positive response. "Mam, I have honestly done my job but still I'm unable to find out anything about your dad," Where the fuck has he gone. "You never disappoint me," I stated in disappointment. "Mam, I think your dad went underground," That was the only possible reason why he would have failed to find him. "I'll look into it by myself,"All these things happening around me were driving me crazy but the saddest part was I was helpless, unable to decide what I'm supposed to do. Being in normal conditions I would have called Uncle Connor but after that call with him, something has changed inside me for him. I knew it for a reason that I can't approach him. Sitting in my room, staring at the wall with a mill
