OLIVIA

I called Cyril multiple times and he wasn't taking my calls. I was mad at myself for agreeing to call him, knowing that he was most likely not to respond.

Despite the snub, I was excited that Adrian was there to witness everything, to avoid making it seem like I was telling a lie.

“I do hope you can witness what's happening. I don't want to believe that I am seeing things that aren't real. This is the third time I am going to call him. If he refuses to take my call, I'm going to block him for good. He won't dare reach me on other social media platforms, too,” I told Adrian. I also warned him not to dare change my mind because I would never listen to him.

“Take a chill pill. It's too early to conclude. Has it gotten to that extent? I don't know you to be this harsh. Perhaps, he wasn't next to his phone; hence he didn't pick up,”

Adrian defended Cyril for the second time. I terminated the call to focus my attention on him.

“What did you just say? Whose side are you on? Did Cyril

  • Divorced But Never Letting Go   Sixty Two

    OLIVIAAs much as I desperately needed someone to speak up for me, I still didn’t think it was a good idea to see Adrian and Cyril fight because of me.It’s going to be a third world war. And the aftermath consequences? Disastrous, it would be. I may need more than miracles to repair the damages caused.Cyril is already suspecting that I am in a relationship with Adrian, which, of course, I denied immediately. Seeing Adrian defend me this way, Cyril would have every reason to believe he was right after all.The fact that we just sealed the deal with Uncle Dante further complicates things. Definitely, Adrian would be Dante’s representative until the end of the deal. Fight isn’t something I would wish for right now.“And who are you to stand in my way? Who gave you the audacity? Have you suddenly lost your manner of approach? Perhaps, you never had one. Stay out of my affairs for good if you don’t end up being hurt. Just so you know, I don’t give empty threats. This is my wife we’re tal

    OLIVIAI looked at Kate and saw the smile on her face. It was the motivation I needed for such a delicate situation.“How dare you talk back to me? Answer the damn question, Lydia. Who told Adrian about Rene?” Like a lion ready to devour its prey, Cyril roared at me just when I thought I had overcome him.I suddenly became scared. I had already exhausted the strength inside of me. I could barely defeat a five-year-old in such a mood.I wished for Adrian to come through for me. He was the only one I could depend on. The last time he came through for me, the burden inside of me was rolled away.I winked at Adrian to come through for me, but he wasn’t looking in my direction. It became clear to me that I was alone in the situation.I felt the pressure to apologize immediately and let everything slide. On second thought, I considered how shameful it would be if I let that happen. I had already proved to Cyril that I could withstand him.“Cyril, let it go. You caused the poor lady trauma.

    OLIVIA As Adrian drove us with his car, I kept reminiscing about the unfortunate incident that occurred in my office. I knew for sure that Cyril was a jerk. I mean, he never loved me from the beginning. What I don't understand is how he suddenly developed such hatred for me despite how I strived to ensure that he regains his memory again. To believe that he chose to dump my sorry ass shortly after regaining his memory. To worsen it all, he went back to Rene just when I had successfully secured my marriage. I had a feeling that it was going to turn out this way the moment I decided to seek help from Rene about Cyril's loss of memory. It was synonymous to entrust a bone in the hands of a dog. Surely, it's going to chew it to powder form. Now I am regretting my actions. I was engrossed in my thoughts and wasn't aware that Adrian was speaking to me. I did hear him call my name, but I ignored him. At that point, Cyril had taken over my thoughts and there was nothing I could do.

    OLIVIADespite being caught in the act, I wasn’t ashamed of my actions. It was precisely what I needed at that point.My life was going astray. I was losing my mind. Just a few minutes of romance, and my worries were gone.I enjoyed every bit of the scene. I wished we hadn’t stopped.Twice, I’ve gotten myself involved in a hot romance with Adrian, and it feels like we’ve been married for decades.It was strange how I didn’t feel that toward Cyril during lovemaking.“I am sorry for what happened. I didn’t mean to take advantage of your situation. I should have controlled my urge,” Adrian apologized.The apology ruined the beautiful moment I thought we had. I thought he felt something during the lovemaking.It dawned on me that I was throwing myself at him. The apology made me feel so cheap.“Are you okay? Did I say something to upset you?” Adrian asked me when he noticed the sad look on my face. He knew for sure that his utterances were the reason for my sudden change of mood.“It’s fi

    OLIVIAI couldn't bring myself to tell Kate what had transpired between Adrian and me. I wouldn’t know how she would react to Adrian not wanting to spend the rest of his life with me.“And where’s Adrian? He ought to be here. Why hasn’t he shown up yet? Are you sure he still wants to take us shopping?” Kate asked after her close observation.I thought about what Kate said and realized she might be right. It was strange that the thought hadn’t crossed my mind earlier.“I guess he’s still stuck in the car. He’s probably too tense to show up after what happened between us,” I replied, trying to keep her in suspense.My plan to frustrate Kate into giving up on her questioning wasn’t working. She was determined, almost like a detective investigating a case.“With all due respect, if you don’t speak up now, I might be forced to go speak with Adrian. Who knows? I might get lucky and get the information I need from him,” Kate dared, already moving to execute her threat.“Wait! I’ll speak now,

    Adrian“We should call the cops immediately,” Olivia suggested. She brought out her phone, but I was quick to stop her immediately.Without being told, I knew she wanted to call the cops.“What do you think you’re trying to do?” I asked her and held on to her phone.I adjusted a bit to stop her from snatching it from me. I already saw the drastic move she was making.“What does it look like I am doing? Of course, I am calling. Rene needs to be stopped before she harms us,” Olivia freaked out like a toddler.I haven’t seen her panicking like that before.I giggled because her actions were beginning to amuse me.“What makes you think that Rene would want to hurt you? She has nothing on you. I propose you forget her and let me take you home,” I insisted.As much as Rene is desperate to have Cyril to herself, I still didn’t think she would want to get rid of Olivia to achieve that.“Can you just listen to yourself right now? Isn’t it obvious that Rene wants my man? The only person standin

    ADRIAN“Do we have a problem here, Adrian? You’ve been quiet lately, and it’s beginning to bother me a lot,” Olivia asked after noticing how restless I had been lately.I tried to pull myself together and pretend that everything was fine, but I just couldn’t. I still found myself trembling as I gripped the steering wheel.“Nothing for you to worry about, Olivia. It’s not something that I can’t handle. Trust me when I say I got this,” I assured Olivia, forcing a smile that reeked of confidence.The plan was to allay Olivia’s fears, but so far, it wasn’t working. Olivia wouldn’t stop asking me questions.“Like seriously, Adrian? You want me to believe the things you say when your heart is beating faster? Come on, who does that? What the fuck do you take me for? A dummy or what?” Olivia lamented bitterly.At that point, I knew I needed to tell her the truth to allow me to focus on getting away from the car that was trailing us from behind.On second thought, I doubted if Olivia would be

    ADRIANI returned to the car with divided attention. I needed to be sure if I was making the right decision or if I was just fooling around.“Are you convinced that Rene is trying to kill me?” Olivia asked while folding her arms.I was upset at her question. She wasn’t helping matters.I wanted to concentrate on my driving, and she wasn’t making it possible for that to happen. Her constant complaints had succeeded in disorganizing my system.I didn’t know what to say to Olivia. I might escalate the situation. I couldn’t even put myself in order, let alone control a troubled mind like Olivia’s.Just by looking at her, I could see the fire coming out of her forehead.I shunned Olivia’s question and started the car to continue the trip when she stopped me. She forcefully pulled the keys away and hid them in her pocket.“What do you think you’re doing? Please—give me back the bunch of keys. We’ve got a place to be, and you know that,” I demanded.“Not until you answer my question. I am no

    OLIVIA"Stay calm, ma'am. You're not helping matters," Officer Julian called me to order.I ignored him, saying, "Don't you dare tell me to stay calm. Didn't you hear what he said? He accused me of something I know nothing about. Now that's insane.""You were the target. We were paid by someone to kill you," the criminal finally confessed.His confession sent tiny shivers down my spine. I lost some brain cells and stood up from where I was.I now know what it feels like to be agitated."Who sent you? Start talking now," I moved a step closer to the criminal.Seeing how close I was, Adrian rushed to pull me back. "Don't do this. Let him speak. I understand how you feel right now, but this isn't the way out."I stood back. I forced myself to stay calm, but deep inside, I was a burning furnace.I was being consumed by the desire to kill the criminal even before he was done with the confession."Some lady called Rene. She gave us your photo and asked us to kill you," the criminal confesse

    OLIVIAAfter a failed attempt to kill me, the gunmen abandoned one of their members who had no gun in his possession.As he tried to escape, Adrian pounced on him and struck a powerful punch that tossed the masked man to the ground.As though that weren't enough, Adrian continued to punch the masked man until the police arrived at the scene and arrested him.After the arrest, we all rushed to meet Uncle Dante, who was in a pool of blood, struggling to stay alive.His eyes were slowly shutting down as we got to him."Don't leave me, Uncle. Please stay back," Adrian cried as he rested Uncle Dante's head on his lap.That was my first time seeing Adrian cry. As I tried to console him, I fought back my tears."Please take care of Olivia. She's got a heart of gold. Don't let her slip away from your palms." Those were Uncle Dante's last words before he passed away.All efforts to revive him proved abortive. He must have suffered severe internal bleeding as a result of the injury sustained f

    OLIVIA“Damn! This party is the bomb. See what we've been missing all along,” Kate told me at the party. She seemed to be having fun.She wasn't far from the truth.I can't recall the last time she attended a party of such magnitude.Cyril is such a joy killer.The son of a bitch is deprived of a life like this due to his insecurity.“I am glad you're having fun. But don't get too drunk. We still got work for tomorrow,” I reminded Kate.Adrian joined us some minutes later, shortly after I saw him with Uncle Dante.“I hope you're having fun already?” he teased Kate.“More than fun, Adrian. You've got no idea what this means to me. If Olivia doesn't get married to you, I will,” Kate joked as she continued sipping her vodka.Then she stormed out to allow Adrian and me to have some moments of privacy alone.“My uncle wants to see us. He asked me to bring you to his table,” Adrian said.“Shall we?” He stretched his hand forward to hold mine.“Of course.Why not?” I held his hand.As we wal

    OLIVIA Anxiety spread from my face and traveled down to my lungs' region as I stood at the prosecuting area, waiting for the judge to pass the final verdict regarding the allegations against me of being responsible for Cyril's condition.I lost count of how many times the case has been adjourned. I've lost all hopes of getting a favorable ruling. Currently, the only thing left inside of me is emptiness and fright. I might as well confess to the crimes I never committed just to be free from this dungeon of calamity and frustration.I looked behind me and saw Kate resting on the chest of Adrian. Poor girl! She's been through a lot this period. And she isn't even the one accused falsely.I drifted my attention back to the judge to avoid missing out on what she had a say.“So here's my verdict,” the judge said before she took a deep pause to put on his glasses. I was yearning for her to be done talking. Her silent treatment keeps raising my blood pressure. From the look of things, I

    OLIVIAMy legs quivered as I stepped outside with Adrian. They suddenly felt too heavy to move, as if some unseen force was dragging me back.The moment Kate saw me approaching the car, she rushed forward and embraced me. I fought back my tears.She thought the kidnapping had broken me. She had no idea it was something else entirely.Adrian looked equally disturbed. Just like me, he wasn’t happy. Sadness was written all over his face.That was when Kate sensed something was wrong. She pulled away from my arms and turned to Adrian. “Can you please explain what's going on? I know this isn’t about the kidnapping, so don’t lie to me.”After Adrian narrated everything to her, Kate lost her composure and fumed. “What the fuck? That ain’t true! Olivia had nothing to do with what happened to Cyril. They barely even spoke because I was there to kick him out!”As much as I appreciated her defending me, I wished she had done it back in Lily’s office—to prove my innocence where it mattered.“Now

    OLIVIA“What did you just say? Rene did what?” I lost my cool and jumped from my seat.It took the joint efforts of Adrian and the detective to calm me down.“Don't tell me to calm down! Didn't you hear what she said?” I blasted Adrian.I expected him to take my side—or at the very least, caution Lily about the false accusations thrown at me.“Ranting won't solve anything. We need to take this case lightly,” Adrian said to me.His words somehow calmed my nerves. But deep down, I was burning with curiosity. Why would Rene point fingers at me when I hadn’t even been in New York at the time of the incident?“Over to you, Detective. Why would Rene file a report against Olivia? Olivia hasn’t been to New York in recent times,” Adrian questioned Lily.For the first time in a long while, I was genuinely proud of him. That was the move I had hoped for.“Just a moment, please,” Lily said, shuffling through the files on her desk.“Oh, yes. I found this one.” She handed the file over to us and as

    OLIVIAI still can't wrap my head around what happened in the last couple of hours.It still seems like a dream to me. I never, for once, imagined that I was going to survive the assassination attempt.I had already accepted my fate—that I was going to be shot dead in the head with reckless abandon. Suddenly, Kate and Adrian showed up when I least expected it.“Hey, Olivia,” I heard a voice calling my name. I disregarded the voice since I couldn't recognize it.I drifted back into my thinking mode until I saw a hand wave across my face.Looking next to me, I discovered that it was Adrian. Apparently, he'd been trying to get my attention, but I seemed not to be bothered.I wasn't even conscious of my surroundings anymore.“What's running through your mind this time? Do you want to see the Detective?” Adrian asked me while we stood next to the car.“Nah! That won't be necessary. I'd rather wait for her to summon me to the interrogation room. Want to take this one step at a time,” I told

    ADRIANDetective Lily finally led us to the wood where Olivia was tied up around a tree like a sacrificial lamb.Lily wasn't wrong when she told us that she had been to the woods before to apprehend some criminals.Olivia wasn't alone in the woods. She's got two hefty men standing right in front of her. From a distance, I could tell that they were cold-blooded murderers.Right in front of her was a man pointing a gun to her head while she cried her eyes out.“Did you see that?He's trying to shoot her.We have got to save her now.We can't let that son of a bitch accomplish his mission,” I called the attention of Lily.At that point, I was tempted to snatch the gun from her and shoot the assassins from close range.“I saw them!I'm just waiting for the perfect time to strike, so I suggest you shut the fuck up,” Lily whispered, yet it still managed to get on my thick skin.I drifted my gaze at Kate, hoping that she was going to take sides with me. I was wrong.From the look on her face

    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
