Divorced But Never Letting Go Twenty Two
OLIVIA “You never see anything, do you?” I told Agnes, with the hope that she was going to understand me. “I didn't see what?Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. Are you sure everything is fine? You look so bothered,” Agnes asked me. She looked so clueless and dumb. I couldn't tell if she knew what happened or just decided to play games with me. “Forget it!I should have known that you all are the same. All of you. No one is different,” I spoke aggressively and went back to my room. It's funny how my visit to Adrian's mansion has suddenly turned out to be the worst decision I ever made. In the dining room, Adrian made me feel so special. He gave me the baby girl treatment to the extent that I didn't want to leave. The first call I received was from Kate. She has been calling repeatedly the whole time I was riding on top of Adrian's penis. I intentionally ignored the call because I thought it wasn't my phone ringing.“Good morning, ma'am. Are you home already?” Kate

OLIVIA Cyril approached Kate violently like a beast. He was making moves to hit her, and she dodged to wave the slap. He looked as if he wanted to tear her skin apart.It was now clear to me that Kate wasn't aware that Cyril was around. She wouldn't have snitched on me like that. I trust her more than I trust Cyril. I knew I needed to come through for Kate before she got killed for something she knew nothing about. Hurriedly, I drove straight to Kate's main building. Cyril spotted my car and started running towards me like a psychopath. I don't want the spirit to possess him. He stood In front of my car and brought out a dagger that rang a bell in my head. “The damn nightmare!”I snapped my fingers as I recalled where I'd seen the dagger before. It was a nightmare coming back to reality. The only difference was that it was Kate's house this time and not Adrian's. “Get down from that car right now and come kneel in front of me to apologize,” Cyril commanded me. I was stuck in t

OLIVIA “Are you practically snubbing me now, or I'm beginning to imagine things?” I pulled Kate over to my side. “What's this about? Whose side are you on, Kate?” “What do you want me to say about this? My opinion doesn't matter, does it?If you thought I was going to support you on this, then you were mistaken. Sorry to burst your bubbles, but I don't support evil. I wasn't raised that way. To answer your question, I'm on the side of truth. I guess you're happy now, aren't you?” Kate answered. I didn't consider it a response because she was rude to me. “And what Is the truth? Come back here and finish the mess you created for yourself. I'm not done talking to you. You only leave when I say so,” I stood in front of Kate just as she was about to leave. She kept running away from my questions, making me look like a fool.“What exactly do you want from me? I still don't get it. Since you are so desperate to hear me speak, I will do you a favor by satisfying your curiosity.Ma'am,

OLIVIA “Since no one wants to speak, I guess I would need to do that myself. I don't have the time in the world to wait for you all to decide. Someone's life is at stake here.” Doctor Escobar broke the silence. The suspense was starting to irritate him. Not just Escobar, I was also getting fed up with Kate's mind games, and I was glad that Escobar came through for me when it mattered the most. “Doctor, what's the current situation of my husband? Is he going to get better soon?” I asked the doctor. As much I hated Cyril, I still want him alive. If he's going to die, then I shouldn't be responsible. “Can we go talk about this in my office? It's confidential, and I don't want a 3rd party interference,” he demanded. Without being told, I knew he was talking about Kate.“Why your office? Kate is more than an assistant to me. I consider her part of the family. You're free to disclose any information in front of her,” I consented. Regardless of how Kate has been acting lately, I still de

OLIVIA.“What in heaven's name are you doing here, Adrian? I can't recall inviting you over. There must be an explanation for your sudden visit.” I asked Adrian enthusiastically. Anxiety was rubbing my face in the mud. I tried my best to be diplomatic with him. His presence was already messing with my head, and I was scared that I would do something crazy to him that may send me behind bars for the rest of my life. I thought I had already forgotten the horrible sex I had with Adrian until he miraculously showed up. The sight of him unlocked a new chapter in my head that I don't think would close anytime soon.The moment I left Adrian's mansion, I promised myself that I would erase every memory about him away from my head, including the love I have for him. The moment he showed up, I found myself loving him again. Some sexual parts of me are already yearning for more of his touch. They aren't satisfied with the last sex we had. I could feel my Virginia squirting down there, cravi

OLIVIA “Olivia, please stop what you're doing because it doesn't make any sense. Don't get so hard on Kate. None of this was her fault and you know that. She was just trying to be helpful. It's you who's being unreasonable here. You always act like you know it all when you're not even close to perfection.” Just when I thought I'd heard it all, Adrian blasted me without holding back because of Kate. “I'm being unreasonable?You dare open your gutter-infested mouth and say that to me?” I pointed to myself. I was close to shedding uncontrollable tears. I was hurt by Adrian's utterances. I decided not to retaliate because he would be gone soon.“That's not the point. You got it wrong.,” he wanted to explain after realizing his mistakes. I didn't let that happen, knowing that he meant everything he said. “No, it's fine. You weren't under duress when you said that.”“You still haven't answered my question, though. Don't act like I've forgotten so soon because I haven't. What the heck are

OLIVIA “Ma'am, I apologize for telling Adrian about it and I want to assure you that he was the only person I told. I can't possibly lie to you. You just gotta believe me,” Kate confessed. “And you expect me to believe that? If you are so sure about this, why did It take you ages to respond? Were you processing the lies you were going to say to me?” I sparked outrageously. Regardless of how honest she sounded, her body language suggests otherwise. It made it difficult to understand her.It's been nearly a decade working with Kate, and not for once has she been found wanting. If she stopped working for me today, I don't think I would ever find someone like her again. She makes the job of a personal assistant look so easy. But today, she stunned me. I saw a different side of her that hadn't been witnessed before. It makes me wonder if I've been working with her clone over the past few years.“I couldn't respond immediately because I was stunned. I didn't know what to say to you. You

OLIVIA I was shocked to see Kate stepping out of the hospital with Adrian. Wasn't sure if that's what I wanted for myself.While I demonstrated my frustrations at Adrian, I was equally disappointed in Kate for believing that she had learned her lesson.As they got closer to me, I rehearsed the abusive words I was going to hurl at Adrian when he eventually approached me.“What is he doing here?” I asked Kate immediately they showed up.“Don't worry, I got this,” Adrian interrupted Kate the moment she wanted to speak.“Before you get pissed off, this has got nothing to do with Kate. It was all my idea," Adrian hurriedly vindicated Kate, knowing I was going to berate her for going against my orders. “Who cares? I wasn't talking to you. The last I checked, you aren't my assistant. So back off!” I ignored Adrian and made him look stupid.“Over to you, Kate.Why's Adrian here? Do you ever learn from your mistake?” I blasted Kate just when she thought Adrian had vindicated her.“I tried t

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
