OLIVIA “You might want to take it easy on us. We are just here to help out. It's no big deal. You don't have to break your back about it,” Adrian flared up at me. I've never seen him in his fit of rage before. I must have gotten under his thick skin. “He's right! If you want to be mad at anyone, it should be. When he told me how you angrily left his place, I suggested that we come to find out what's going on,”Kate clarified. I started to feel guilty for yelling at Adrian when he did nothing wrong to upset me. Regardless, I maintained my ego and refused to apologize to Adrian. “Are you ready to provide Cyril now? If Cyril isn't found in the next five minutes, your hospital will be erased from history books for eternity,” I threatened Escobar “Wait a minute, what did I just hear you say about Cyril? What happened to him?” Kate cried when she heard my ranting.“You should ask the so-called doctor in front of you. He's in the best position to answer your question," I hissed.I

OLIVIA People say that when you die, your life flashes before your eyes. How do I know I’m not rewatching my life and have already died multiple times the moment I physically attacked Rene? Over the past few hours, I've fought with my last drop of blood to ensure that Cyril gets back in shape. I got what I ever wanted but would everything ever return to normal again? That, I can never assure myself. “Where do I even start apologizing to you? I did you wrong, and I know you must hate me right now. I don't even like myself either.” I spoke to Rene in a soft tone. I was lost for words.“Of course, you should hate yourself because you're so full of shit. However, I might be willing to help with this little piece of advice. Start by paying me every damn penny you owe me then you can consider liking yourself again.” Rene demanded.I never saw that coming. With her outrageous demand, she just opened a can of worms.I signaled her not to speak further, and what did I get in return? She n

OLIVIA “I bet I should leave and let you two sort out your issues. It seems I came at the wrong time,” Adrian panicked. The heat was too much on him despite his innocence. “Stay back!” Cyril halted Adrian the moment he was about to leave. My heart started beating faster. I was scared that Cyril already found out about my one-night stand with AdrianAfter a second thought, I quickly debunked the possibility of Cyril ever finding out. He's been in the hospital for the past few days fighting to regain his sanity. The only person who's most likely to reveal to Cyril is Kate and I don't see that happening. To start with, she doesn't even like Cyril, let alone make a move to reveal sensitive information to him, knowing how detrimental it would be to not just my marriage but my career. “Why did you stop me from leaving? I shouldn't even be here in the first place,” Adrian's voice skipped as he clamored to leave. I refrained from getting myself involved to avoid raising eyebrows. Adri

OLIVIA “Now that Adrian is gone and Cyril might be probably in the bedroom, What are you going to do now? Did you have any plans to resolve the chaos? It's just the two of us here. You have nothing to worry about.” Kate asked me shortly after Adrian's departure. That was the only time she ever said a word. She was scared that Cyril might do something nasty to her if she ever spoke. He would have every reason to believe that she was on my side. “What am I going to do? How do you expect me to answer that question? Did you witness everything that happened? You should be able to know my response. So I'm going to ask you. What would you do if you were in my shoes? Because right now, I can't even think straight to save my life,” I facepalm and sat on the couch. Kate went mute for a while as she pitied me. Slowly, she walked up to me and patted my shoulder. “If I were you, I would do everything possible to save my marriage.”I lifted my head. “How on earth do I go about saving a marria

OLIVIA “Lies from the pit of hell. You thought you could fool me, right? Do you think I'm a kid who can be easily manipulated by your cheap lies? Just so you know, I'm smarter than you can ever imagine,” I rudely spoke to Cyril. I stood right in front of him and nearly spat on his face.He sighed. “I see you want trouble, and I am not giving you that. I just recovered from a severe brain injury. I would rather not let you add to my list of problems because you're not worth it,”“You can say whatever you want, but the truth remains that I'm not letting him leave until this issue is resolved. You should know that giving up isn't part of my dictionary,” I was adamant. I was becoming a force to reckon with “If you ever wish for peace, you will open the damn phone and show me your call logs. I want to confirm who you're talking with. I have every reason to believe that you're lying to me, and you know that” I dared Cyril. His body language was enough reason for me to believe that he

CYRIL'S POVIt wasn't enough for Olivia to punch me in the eye, she still had the guts to ask me silly questions. I was this close to going blind. The fear of spending the rest of my life behind bars is the reason I didn't retaliate against the attack on my face. Aside from going to jail, I would rather not dent my name or tarnish my image and everything I've ever worked so hard to achieve. Just a brief moment of domestic violence and I'm already headlining the front page of every newspaper and media outlet tagging me as “Cyril, the wealthy beast that turned his wife into a punching bag,” None of them wouldn't even care to find out the real truth from me because society has made everyone believe that it's wrong to hit women regardless of who threw the first punch. “Where are you heading to? And why are you not speaking to me? Are you practically snubbing me now?” Olivia continued to ask me despite the snub. She wasn't just asking me, she also had the urge to move closer to me. “

OLIVIA “Did you see what just happened between me and Cyril?” I turned towards Kate's direction to ask her. I needed her opinion to judge if I was losing my mind.“I witnessed everything that happened. I am sorry to say this to you, Cyril is mother fucking player. He wasn't remorseful for his actions,” Kate responded as she walked towards the bar to go grab a bottle of vodka. I followed her immediately.“Oh, you saw it too? I was afraid I was imagining things that weren't well. You don't have to apologize for what you just said about Cyril. Everyone knows he's a pain in the ass. I still don't know why I got married to him when there were better options out of that,” I shed more light on what Kate said. There was no point defending someone who doesn't even give a fuck about me. After everything I've witnessed lately, I certainly needed a bit of liquor to cool off. I wasn't a staunch advocate for liquor consumption. Cyril made me do it. He has succeeded in making my life a joke.

OLIVIAI woke up feeling so disorganized. I haven't felt that way before. I lost touch with reality. I could barely recognize myself anymore. It's as though a different spirit possessed my body.“Where the heck am I? And why does this place look so different? Something isn't right.” I asked myself and as I rubbed my blurry eyes and yawned.It was unclear to me how I slept on the sofa and woke up on the bed alone. I stretched my hands to the other side of the bed hoping to reach out to Cyril, but he wasn't there. It was just me alone in the room.“Cyril moved out already,” I said to myself the moment I couldn't find him. It took me a while to realize that Cyril was no more. It's barely a few hours since he moved out of the house, and it feels like my whole world is crumbling.“Don't worry about him. He's not worth it. You should be happy he's gone. You don't have to worry yourself about him,” I assured myself that his departure meant nothing to me, whereas, I care the most.My phone ra

ADRIAN"Stop the damn car right away! I know what I heard. Would I be joking about something like this when I know what's at stake?" Kate screamed at me.That was the moment I knew it wasn’t a joke, just like I had thought.I stayed calm to observe the situation. Suddenly, I heard Olivia screaming. "Please don’t kill me! I don’t want to die. Somebody save me! I don’t deserve any of this. I am ready to give up an outrageous fee for my freedom!"At that moment, I felt like punching myself in the face for doubting Kate when she initially revealed what she had heard."Do you believe me now? Why don't you apologize for doubting me?" Kate demanded.I snapped. "Get down. We need to go inform the cops about our discovery."As Kate and I stepped outside the vehicle, we saw a female cop approaching our direction. It was obvious that she had something important to say to us."I was about to meet you. What's your name again?" the female cop asked.I glanced at Kate, waiting for her to respond, bu

ADRIANUntil we arrived at the station, Kate and I never said a word to each other. Knowing what was at stake, we understood that this was certainly not the time to get familiar with each other. All that mattered was ensuring that Olivia was rescued from the imposters who called themselves policemen.“We are here now,” I said as we pulled into the parking lot. I was about to step out of the vehicle when Kate pulled me back. A thought seemed to have crossed her mind.“What's the matter? Do you realize we are on a rescue mission right now?” I frowned at Kate for holding us back. I also reminded her how she had blamed me for Olivia's kidnapping, thinking I could have done something to stop it.“Of course, I know what's at stake. We're about to report the case to the cops to help us find Olivia, aren't we?” Kate acknowledged. “Nonetheless, we should also remember that we are in Paris, a French-speaking country. Most of them might find it difficult to understand English,” she added.I paid

RENE“How are you going to respond to that? Have you unexpectedly lost your ability to speak? That is what I thought,” I mocked Cyril with a wicked laugh before walking away.I knew he was going to crawl back to me and beg for forgiveness.I never wanted to talk about it with him. I planned to let go, knowing that he may still be in love with Olivia.That has never been the source of contention. I knew exactly what I needed to do to persuade Cyril to file for divorce.However, my primary goal was to take over the Penhurst company.And when I found out Olivia had moved to Paris, I became the happiest woman on earth.Even though he had yet to appoint me as CEO, I knew my mission had been accomplished.Olivia's absence was a clear indication that she was no longer going to take over the company. That has always been my greatest fear.A few minutes after I faced the wall, I felt a touch on my shoulder.I recognized Cyril even without verification.I gave a silent smile. That was the mome

RENE“Hi, honey,” Cyril said as he strolled into my living room, completely uninvited.The fact that he didn’t even bother knocking made his sudden appearance all the more unnerving. I was just thankful he hadn’t shown up while my mother was here.“Hey… you’re here,” I said, forcing a smile as I leaned in to return his kiss, pretending his arrival didn’t unsettle me. The last thing I wanted was for Cyril to sense he wasn’t welcome.Despite my best efforts, though, he wasn’t buying it. Cyril wasn’t stupid. He could already tell something was off.I tried to make small talk, throwing out casual lines to deflect his attention, but he wasn’t listening. It felt like talking to a brick wall.“Hello, Cyril.” I waved a hand in front of his face. “I’m talking to you. Why are you ignoring me? Did I do something wrong?” I let my voice falter, playing the victim like a pro.He chuckled, a low, bitter sound. “Really? You’re gonna pull this now?”Before I could respond, he stood abruptly, folding h

ADRIANKate had been asking about the station Olivia was taken to for over five minutes, and I still hadn’t been able to respond. Even in a thousand years, I’d probably still be clueless.I was behaving ridiculously in front of her. For the first time in my life, I didn’t trust myself.“I’m not sure how to say this to you. To be honest, I—” I paused, suddenly at a loss for words, as though I’d forgotten how to speak.“You what?” Kate snapped, grabbing my shirt like she wanted to rip it apart.“Adrian, say something! This isn’t you. When did you become so dull? I still have no idea what’s going on. If we were living in ancient times, I’d swear you sold Olivia into slavery,” she said, throwing yet another accusation at me—one even more serious than the last.If a third party overheard this, I’d probably spend the rest of my life in prison for human trafficking.I tried to calm her down, but my words fell flat.I was speechless, hopeless, and defenseless against her rage.“I thought you

OLIVIAIt’s been over an hour since I went with the cops, and we still haven’t arrived at the station.This was becoming a major problem for me. I had a feeling that something was definitely wrong somewhere.To make matters worse, none of them paid attention to my words. To them, I didn’t even exist.The only thought crossing my mind was jumping out of the moving vehicle and escaping from what now seemed like an abduction.After a second thought, I realized how stupid the plan was. There was no guarantee I’d make it out alive after jumping outside.I kept my observations to myself while I searched for another way out.“What’s going on? Why isn’t anyone saying anything to me? And why is it taking forever to arrive at the station?” I raised the alarm after being previously ignored.“Stay focused. You’re asking too many questions. We’ll be there soon,” one of them finally responded.It ought to have sounded like a relief, but it didn’t. Instead, it made my blood pressure spike drasticall

ADRIAN“Who was that on the phone? And why are you sweating like that?” Kate asked as she stepped closer, her sharp gaze fixed on me.“Oh, I’m sweating? I honestly had no idea,” I mumbled, wiping my face and realizing she was right. My skin was damp.I hesitated, unsure how to explain. I couldn’t summon the courage to tell her that Rene had her claws in me now. Kate wouldn’t believe me anyway—not when Rene had already manipulated Cyril.“Now you’re freaking me out,” Kate snapped, her voice tense. “Why aren’t you saying anything? First, you froze when you saw me walk in, and now you’re sweating under an air conditioner? Please, make it make sense to me.”She was fuming, and I’d never seen her this angry before. Clearly, I was testing her patience.“It’s Rene,” I admitted at last, my voice low.I stepped back, putting some distance between us. I didn’t want to see the expression on her face.“Rene?” Kate repeated, her brows knitting together in confusion.“But how is that possible? How

RENE“How did it go?” my mom asked as I ended the call with Adrian.I sighed, still gripping the phone tightly. “Honestly? I don’t know. He seemed madly in love with Olivia,” I admitted, my voice laced with frustration.I wasn’t convinced we were heading in the right direction. Adrian wasn’t as easy to manipulate as Cyril had been, and it was beginning to show.It was my mom’s idea to use Olivia as bait to get Adrian, and at first, it sounded like the perfect plan. After all, we’d heard plenty about Adrian’s family’s generational wealth. We figured it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take our slice of it.But now, it was starting to feel like one of the worst decisions I’d ever made.“Do you think we should involve Ghost in this?” my mother suggested, watching me carefully as I paced the room. She could tell I was struggling to figure out our next move.“Ghost?” I scoffed, rolling my eyes. “The same Ghost who couldn’t even eliminate Olivia after multiple attempts? Come on, Mom. I’m not convi

ADRIAN“I asked you a simple question, Rene. How the fuck did you get my number, and what do you want from me? I hate repeating myself, and that’s exactly what you’re making me do right now. You’re so dumb. How did Cyril even fall in love with you?” I shouted, my voice laced with disgust.I didn’t hold back. Every shred of self-control I had left vanished.If Rene had been standing next to me, I swear, I would’ve done something I’d regret.“Take it easy, Adrian,” Rene said, her tone infuriatingly smug. “You might want to be mindful of your tone. This is a telephone conversation, after all. You can’t do anything to hurt me, and we both know it.”She let out a wicked laugh that crawled under my skin, twisting the knife she’d already planted there.Then she threatened to end the call if I kept questioning her.I clenched my jaw and forced myself to stay calm. As much as I wanted to smash my phone against the wall, I realized there was more to gain by playing along.“I want you, Adrian. I
