OLIVIA

I dashed inside Escobar's office without knocking. The suspense was killing me. I couldn't wait to find out where Cyril was taken.

“Olivia?

What did you just do?

Why would you force yourself into my office like that? That was disrespectful, and I demand an apology this minute,” Doctor Escobar was in full rage. I saw that coming. If I was the one who got busted that way, I would be mad at the person.

“I am sorry for coming In the way I did. Trust me, it wasn't planned,” I finally apologized.

“What do you want?

Wait, I want to believe that you are not here to plead with me about Rene? Because that's never going to happen. Remember what I told you the last time you visited?” Escobar reminded me ahead, forcing me to swallow my question.

Rene was somehow part of what I wanted to discuss with Doctor Escobar, which made it impossible to proceed with my question.

“I thought as much.

It's about Rene, isn't it? Sorry, there's nothing I can do about that. You may need to leave n

    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

    OLIVIA“What the hell is this bitch doing here?” That was the first question Kate asked the moment she stepped inside the living room and met Rene. She was the last person Kate ever wanted to see.I folded my arms and sat on the sofa comfortably. “The answer you seek is staring at you in the face. I guess you should ask her. She’s in the best position to answer that question.”I wanted Kate to take over the situation like a boss. I figured that it was going to ease the stress off my shoulders.You bitch and homewrecker, what are you doing here? The last time I checked, you weren’t invited. So you better start talking now before I lose it. Don’t fucking mess with me.” Kate confronted Rene, just as I had predicted.I couldn’t have been more proud of Kate for standing up for me at the crucial time when I needed her the most.“I see that you brought your poor and wretched assistant to fight for you. What a coward that you are. You can’t even fight your battle yourself. Where’s your shame?

    OLIVIAMy alarm clock beeped, jolting me awake. In a fit of rage, I slammed it off and buried myself back under the covers.It was the weekend, and I had no intention of stepping out or engaging in anything remotely strenuous. My goal for the day was simple—stay in bed, switch off my phone, and avoid any calls that might ruin my peace.It was also the first morning I would wake without Cyril next to me on the bed ever since he left the house and decided to move in with Rene.Hypothetically, last night should have been awful. But to my surprise, it was the best sleep I’d had in a long time. I slept like a baby, uninterrupted, knowing there would be no pointless midnight fights. No one to jolt me awake over baseless accusations.It was one of those nights where I would pay to witness for the rest of my life. As I slept, the thought of Cyril didn’t cross my mind.That goes to show how much I’ve moved on from him. I can’t wait for the divorce procedures to be finally over to ensure my tot

    RENEI watched Cyril sleep like a baby after he had devoured the food I made for him. The only thought that came across my mind was to stab him and take pleasure while he bled to death slowly.However, the plan might seem stupid eventually because I wasn’t legally married to Cyril yet, nor had I gained access to some of his assets.I glanced at the wall clock and realized it was 9:30 PM. Sleep has suddenly become my foe. How can I retire to my bed with my two eyes closed, knowing that my mission was yet to be accomplished?I thought Cyril was gonna leave immediately after he shared the devastating news with me. But no, the son of a bitch decides to find solace in me. His presence made it difficult for me to go visit my mother. I wouldn’t want him suspecting that I was up to mischief.As I thought of an escape route, I heard a buzzing sound on my phone. I hurriedly turned down the volume of my phone to avoid waking Cyril up.I realized that it was a text from my mother. She hasn’t been

    RENE"I have spent the last couple of minutes surfing the internet for my dream house. I just can't wait for Olivia to sign the divorce papers so I can take over Penhurst Company and save us from bankruptcy," I told my mom over the phone as we discussed our plans to take over Cyril's empire.It was something I had wished for all my life. And it's finally coming to pass. What a day to be alive."Don't get your hope too high, child," my mom uttered words of wisdom.She got me confused on that one. I couldn't help but ask, "What the heck are you talking about? Isn't this what we've always wanted?""There is no point in getting yourself confused. I am going to explain it to you. How are you sure that the bitch is going to sign the divorce papers? And did Cyril confirm to you that he was going to divorce her? Don't let these scallywags fool you. I know what I am talking about."My mother buttressed her point, but she still got me confused. If it wasn't her voice, I would have believed that

    Cyril“Oh dear! If you are tired of your wife, Sophia, why don’t you divorce her instead and become a free man just like me? That way, you won’t have to punish yourself like this. You know I hate to see you like this,” I questioned Andrew’s guts, boosting his morale.I wanted him to own up to his shit like a real man, but he failed to understand the signal I was trying to pass across.“I can't do that. Not everyone is like you. And get your hands off me. I would rather not be infected by your spirit of stupidity," Andrew pushed me aside. I managed to maintain my stamina. Else, I would have fallen and hurt myself.“And don't you dare drag my wife into this shit? Real men don't act the way you did. You should consider getting another lawyer to process your divorce,” Andrew spoke while facing the opposite direction.If I wasn't next to him, I would have argued that he was having a telephone conversation and wasn't referring to me.I moved closer to him. “Excuse me? What did you just say?

    I did receive a text from Andrew informing me to be patient and let him handle everything. At this point of time in my life, patience has become the enemy. I want everything sorted out immediately without delay. "Good day, Kelly. Is your Boss in? Of course, he is inI wish to speak to him." I asked Kelly, Lawyer Andrew's clerk at his law firm "Does my boss have an appointment with you? I already checked my schedule for today and your name wasn't on the list. Perhaps, you may need to come back some other time." Kelly interrogated me. It took her a while to respond. Her attitude towards me showed that something wasn't. "Do I need to have an appointment with your Boss before I see him? Don't you recognize me anymore? It's my Cyril, the CEO of Penhurst company. Do you remember me now? Now go inside there and tell him I wanna see him," I demanded. I couldn't stay calm anymore. She had pushed me to the wall with her irrational attitude towards me. If it was easier for her, she wo

    CYRILI stood up immediately as we exchanged pleasantries. "It's so good to see you again, sir. I must confess, your staff has been good to me so far. They made me feel so comfortable."“Of course, they will. I mean, that's why they're being paid, right?” Uncle Dante teased, and we laughed at each other's jokes.I ensured that we laughed hard because I knew the next few minutes might be hell for both of us, considering what I intended to speak about.“Now, let's get straight to business. Did you say you needed to see me urgently? What's the situation about? I ought to have a busy schedule today. Because of you, I had to make plans for another day,” Dante revealed.I cleared my throat and took another shot of liquor to keep me hyped. I figured what I wanted to say might require some sort of courage and confidence to pull through.“Before you proceed, where's your wife, and why didn't she come with you? I do hope she's doing great? She didn't quite sound too well when she called. I trie

    CYRILIt hurts to find out that Olivia is cheating on me with Adrian. After everything I've done for her, the bitch still had the nerve to sleep with another man while we were still married. If it wasn't for me, she wouldn't be running the company, let alone know how it feels to be a CEO.As I drove back to Rene’s apartment, I started imagining all the insane things I could do to hurt Olivia.I don’t see myself letting her go scot-free—especially Adrian. He has to pay for betraying the bro code. He knew Olivia was still married to me, yet he went ahead and had sex with her.Different thoughts plagued my head. I wasn't even certain of where I was heading anymore. Parts of me wanted to go see Rene and wrap myself in her arms for solace, while the rest of me wanted to visit my lawyer, Andrew, to finalize the divorce process between myself and Olivia.He was taking too long to get the necessary documents ready, and I wasn't pleased with it.

    “Where are your domestic staff? I can't find them around.” I started the conversation with a joke to lighten the mood after seeing how angry Adrian had become.“I laid them off for a reason,” he responded harshly. I could tell he wasn't comfortable with the question.“I see. Must be weird living alone in this big mansion, isn’t it? Don’t tell me, I can relate,” I cracked another joke that didn’t even sound funny to me.“Enough with your dry jokes. Is that what you came here to do? Because I don't seem to understand you anymore,” Adrian groaned.“Kate's gone now, so you better start talking and quit your silly jokes. That’s not funny. I’m done tolerating your silent treatment. I need nothing but the truth from you. And please, no more jokes,” Adrian demanded, shutting the door to prevent Kate from distracting us.“Kate is right about what she said earlier.” I made the bold step to confess.“It’s too early to get mad at me because I’m not done talking,” I added quickly, calming Adrian’s
