Divorced But Never Letting Go Thirty One
OLIVIA I stepped outside to join Adrian and Kate. As I walked towards them, I felt my heart bleeding inside of me. I lost a part of me that can never be regained anymore. I just wanted the ground to swallow me up and end my mysteries. I lost my confidence. I hurriedly diverted into an isolated corner a few miles away from them. I couldn't summon the courage to go explain to them what happened, especially Adrian. He won't hesitate to remind me that I deserve a better man like him. Slowly, I peeped at them and noticed they weren't looking in my direction. I read their lips. They weren't speaking to each other either. The situation must have been so overwhelming that they could not even utter a word. “Olivia, you can do this. Don't subject yourself to suffering.” I assured myself with words of encouragement. I had no idea what I was talking about, but I was hoping it would be helpful. I needed all the motivation I could get. I sighed and did a cross sign before stepping outside. I

OLIVIA “Why are you so bothered about me now? I thought you asked me to leave and never return. That I would gladly do,” he said and made attempts to walk out on me. “Adrian? Don't you dare walk away from me?” I stopped him and went to meet him."So what now? Do you want to start another fight with me? Are you being paid to be a nerd? Aren't you tired of throwing tantrums? Grow up already and stop acting like a child,” he made a travesty of me. His taunts punctured my head and got on my last nerves.“I'm afraid, this child won't let you leave until you tell her what she wants to hear,” I pulled him back. I took out my phone and started dialing a number.“What the fuck are you doing? I just hope it's not what I'm thinking right now?” Adrian tried snatching the phone away from me, but I was quicker than him. I quickly edged backward to prevent him from snatching the phone away from me. Finally, the person I called answered the phone. I had to put the conversation on the speaker to g

OLIVIA Adrian dwelled extensively. He appears to have made a brilliant suggestion. Adrian might as well turn out to be useful eventually. I shouldn't have written him off too early.“Hold on a second, let me think about this,” I placed my hands below my jawline to deliberate on what he had just told me. “Stay right here you two.I'll be back,” I implored them and went away. They kept asking where I was going. I ignored them. I was only focused on arriving at Doctor Escobar's office. I needed his help to fetch Rene's home address from Cyril. It would be very risky going to Cyril's ward alone since he thinks I'm his assistant.Luckily for me, I met Doctor Escobar at the reception.“Olivia, what are you still doing here?” He quizzed me. He was shocked to still see me hanging around the hospital. He thought I had left already. “I need your help,” I pleaded with him while struggling to breathe. "You might want to calm down and speak to me. Why don't we discuss this in my office?” He pr

OLIVIA As we drove to Rene's apartment, I thought of ways to convince her to come help Cyril restore his memory. It was a massive risk I was willing to take.If I had another chance to decide, I wouldn't have opted to go this far just to get Cyril back on his feet again. He doesn't deserve me, and I'm certain that he would have abandoned me in the hospital if I was In his situation. I saw how he neglected me back then in this hospital as though I never existed. I still haven't gotten over the trauma. It wasn't enough for him to neglect me; he still had the guts to choose Cyril over me.Thinking about the unfortunate incident only increased my hate for him. “Are you okay, Olivia? If you need someone to talk to, I'm here.” Adrian volunteered. He exhibited the benevolent traits that got me laid. “Why would you ask such a baseless question? Don't I look okay to you? Are you insinuating that I'm lost? If I need someone to speak to, it's not you. The last time I leaned on your shoulder,

OLIVIA “Kate, what about you? Are you backing out too? You haven't made your decision yet.” I asked Kate even though I knew what her response would be. I just needed to be certain if I would be approaching the situation alone. “Am I supposed to answer that question? Of course, you know my response,” Kate smirked. It wasn't the kind of response I had expected from her. “Are you going to pull that stunt on me? I wasn't even asking for too much. Just answer the damn question and stop beating around the bush like a headless chicken. A straight response is all I ask from you. I'm going to do this for the last time, Kate. Are you on my side, or are you just going to walk away like Adrian?” I yelled at her. “I'm in, ma'am. You know I got your back anytime. Where do we begin?” Kate finally responded. “And who said I walked away? Are you seriously making decisions for me now?” Adrian cuts in just as I am about to relay the plan to Kate. I looked behind, hoping to find the person that Ad

OLIVIA “There she is,” Kate pointed at someone who was visible to her sight only “Who? I can't find anyone,” I strained my eyes just to have a glimpse of whom Kate was referring to. “Rene of course. There she is. She finally stepped outside. As we speak, she and Adrian are having a conversation,” Kate explained further. For the second time, she has proven to be more capable than me. I never imagined that a time like this would come where I would be so dependent on Kate. “It worked. The plan was effective. They're about to go inside. Should we step in immediately or still wait to observe?” Kate asked me. Coming from someone I depend on, we might as well stay clueless forever. “You tell meYou are the boss here.What do you think?” I returned the question to Kate and gave her another opportunity to showcase her brilliance. “Are you sure about this? I have a bad feeling about this. I don't want to mess things up,” Kate was reluctant. I completely understood her reaction. Situatio

OLIVIA I'm having a hard time adjusting to the earth. It's rather unfortunate that my life was fading away like the evening sun and I can't even do anything about it. “I'm waiting for your response, Adrian. I don't enjoy being kept in suspense for too long and that's precisely what you're doing to me right now,” Rene fumed. Her voice got louder by the minute. “Yes, I do know them. Olivia is Cyril's husband while the lady standing next to her is Kate, Olivia's assistant,” Adrian briefly explained.“Are you kidding me?” Rene charged up, ready to unleash her rocket of frustration at Adrian. “Before you get mad at me, I need to quickly clarify this. I wasn't aware that Kate nor her Boss were going to visit you today. You have got to believe me,” Adrian responded and vindicated himself immediately before Rene could attack him. I didn't know how I was going to react to his confession. I would have preferred he lied instead. He now puts me in a difficult situation where I need to start

OLIVIAI felt my complete self again the moment we arrived at the hospital to finalize the agreement.I considered my mission accomplished, even though Cyril hadn't regained his lost memory. The only issue I had was convincing Rene to do this with me. Since that has been settled, it equally means the majority of my worries are over. “Wait! Don't go yet,” Rene halted us the moment we were about to go inside the hospital. I wasn't sure why she had to do that. Stopping our movement scared me. I had a bad feeling that Rene was about to start another heated moment that may be more difficult than the previous one. “Why did you stop us? We are just a few steps ahead from entering inside to visit Cyril?” I protested. I turned out to be the only one who could question Rene's action while Kate and Adrian both stood there with their lips sealed.“What would be my reward for doing this? We need to reach an agreement on that.” Rene made the audacious demand that swept me off my feet.“Reward

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
