To the outside world, Olivia is just a famous doctor who excels in her career. What most people don't know is that she's also married to the CEO of the famous Wellington Group, Theo Wellington. Her marriage life is a unique one. She rarely sees her husband, and they only meet once in a while. After three years of a loveless marriage, Theo finally files for divorce. But can she easily let go when she has loved him her whole life? His first love is back, threatening to snatch her position. When Olivia discovers that she's pregnant, she has a choice to hide it from Theo and protect herself from further heartbreak. Yet, misfortunes never come alone. She is also diagnosed with an illness that might not only end her baby's life but also hers.
View MoreJessica froze. She stood up straight and dropped the cupcake. Turning around, she plastered on a sweet smile. “Oh, Theo… you came back early. Dave and I wanted to surprise you-”“What the hell were you doing?” I interrupted her, wondering if something was wrong with her head.If I hadn't come in and witnessed it for myself, I wouldn't have believed it. “Uhmm, w-what?” Jessica stammered, putting on a confused look. “What do you mean, Honey?”“Witch! Didn't you try to poison me just now!?” Dave grabbed a tissue and wiped off the smudges of cupcake on his lips. He jumped down from the dining chair and ran to my side. “This wicked witch has been harassing me since morning. What took you so long, Theo?”I wanted to reassure him that I was here and would end Jessica's craziness.First, it was posting the boy's photos on the internet, and now this!But Jessica's stance wavered. She staggered and grabbed the chair's handle, staring at us in disbelief. “What's this, Theo? Dave is just bein
…Theo's POV Finally!I could breathe normally and get those murderous thoughts out of my head.Mike's father, Mr. Kensington, arrived much sooner than I'd expected.Knowing that spending a few more hours there would mean losing my patience and dealing with that blabbermouth, Mike, I'm happy to leave. Honestly, I dislike hearing him constantly call out Olivia's name.I shouldn't be jealous.I didn't care about Olivia even when we were still married.I shouldn't be so provoked by seeing another man obsessed with her!I slammed the steering wheel, honking the car loud as it suddenly got stuck in the traffic.Apart from my mounting frustration, I also felt kind of annoyed this morning.Olivia…I didn't only just dream about her, but also had to hear another man mention her name again and again. Sometimes, I get worried that she might be dead.I get mad sometimes that she left without telling me of her illness,While sometimes, I just feel hopeless.The traffic didn't disperse until th
“Now now, Cora. We wouldn't want you to accompany the old man and constantly get distracted by Theo’s presence, right? Thank you for not hiding your real intentions. You're disqualified.”“But, Uncle Davison-”“Call me Dr. Davison when we're at work!”Moments later, a young lady stormed out of the office, looking frustrated and sad.She almost bumped into me, making my mask slip off momentarily.Thankfully, she didn't recognize me. She appeared to be new and wasn't present while I was still working here five years ago.I couldn't help but shake my head in pity, seeing how all the ladies were gushing over Theo. A rose looks beautiful and inviting on the outside, but it's filled with thorns. I put my face mask back in place and entered Dr. Davison’s office.The middle-aged man was sitting across his desk, ticking off some names on a list. When he saw me, he stood up. “Oh, Dr. Olivia, you're here.”“Yeah,” I replied cautiously. “Why do you wanna see me, Dr. Davison?”“It's for a very
…Olivia's POV Hopefully, this is not a trap. We've already concluded the topic with Dr. Davison and I know he would respect my wish,However,People can be unpredictable, right?What if he's actually summoning me to continue that topic?What if he already has a way he could use to get me to agree?I should stop being paranoid.I have to focus. “You sure you can handle it alone?” Ethan asked as he dropped me off at the hospital.I nodded, forcing a smile.Honestly, I would have loved for him to accompany me. I have a feeling that I won't be able to handle Dr. Davison alone,But Ethan has a family emergency and has to fly to Delawares immediately.I waved him goodbye as he drove off, hoping none of his parents had fallen sick.Then I turned and stared at the huge building standing in front of me.Returning to this place is risky.I might bump into Theo again like last time. But Dr. Davison made it sound so urgent that I couldn't turn him down… Hopefully, I'm not gonna regret this!
I arrived at the City's First Hospital. The same VIP Ward Mike had been admitted into five years ago. A nostalgic feeling hit me, bringing back a lot of memories.These hospital walls echoed with so many memories. Jessica's accident. Mike's accident. Those memories were all tied to one person… Olivia.Will I never escape from constantly thinking about her? When will I stop getting exposed to situations that always lead me to think about her? “Ahhhh! Let go of me! Don't touch me!”The commotion inside the ward brought me back to the present.Mike was surrounded by several nurses who tried to pin him down,But the guy overpowered all of them, pushing anyone that tried to touch him away.“If you don't leave me alone, I'll make sure this hospital goes down!” He yelled. “Just bring me my precious angel.”“Mr. Kensington, please calm down.”“You're bleeding too much.”“We need to clean your wounds before they get infected.”The nurses looked exhausted and some of them had even collap
After Dave left, I reached out for the bottle of whiskey anyway. Discussing the matter with him didn't help. I'd look forward to the boy offering me words of comfort, but then he blatantly expressed his disappointment.Well, who wouldn't be disappointed in me in such a situation?I divorced young. I didn't consider anyone’s feelings. But Grandpa's control over me was suffocating at that time. I needed to stand on my own feet. I needed to make my own choices. A while later as the dark sky outside began clearing up, I headed back to my bedroom upstairs. Finding my phone's screen on, I wondered what notification just came in.I grabbed the phone from the bedside table and stared at the several missed calls from one person. Mr. Kensington. Why did he call many times? Seemed like it had been over an hour now since he started calling me.Strange.Although Mr. Kensington and I are now solid business partners and have built a good relationship over the past few years, we barely commun
…Theo's POV Gradually, I found myself pulled into a bottomless abyss of endless nightmares.One moment, she was here, and the next, she was gone, taken away by one dangerous thing after the other.First, it was the storm,And then came the heavy traffic that blocked my path until her figure faded in the distance.She called out my name, and my eyes darted anxiously around the crowded party, but then nobody in that room looked like her.I sat up on the bed, reaching out to turn on the bedside lamp.Inside the cool room, rapid sweat poured down from my forehead, dampening my pajama shirt. That was a strange nightmare. Olivia…Did she turn into a ghost and has started hunting me in my dreams? Am I losing my mind?Why can't I stop thinking about her? Was this turning into an obsession?I should probably let go already. Eventually, Grandpa would forgive me. The old man couldn't stay mad at me forever, would he? The fact that I'd started seeing her in my dreams meant she might alread
Maybe I'm seeing wrong.Or maybe it's been too many years, and I've forgotten about the guy's existence that's why I'm shocked. How could I forget the guy who had constantly annoyed me five years ago? I should turn around and leave, He could take care of himself, but before I took a step, the guy saw me.“It would be an honor to die in such a beauty’s hands. But I've finally seen my angel again, so I'll have to disappoint you.” With one hand, Mike pushed Bonnie away and skidded towards me. The same fear from five years ago returned to my heart.The fear of being constantly disturbed. He's all over the place, leaving no room for me to breathe.Michael Kensington has probably become one of my nightmares.He didn't hold back but hugged me with all his might, his bold action jolting me to speechlessness. “Olivia, how could you be so cruel to my love? You ran away five years ago, leaving me heartbroken. Did I scare you off? I searched all over the globe and couldn't find you. Now that
…Olivia's POVAfter having a long conversation with Dr. Davison, I was completely worn out.As much as he tried to convince me, I couldn't…Following Grandpa Victor to that Island is the most dangerous thing for me to do at the moment.No doubt, my cover would finally be blown as Theo would definitely find me. And that would hinder me from searching for my son.“Ahhhh, Olivia, that guy is crazy!” I jumped in shock, hearing Bonnie's loud voice from my hotel suite.I didn't expect to meet her here. When and how did she get inside without the security notifying me?I had to push my curiosity to the back of my mind when I noticed Bonnie's pale expression.Wondering what she was staring at in her phone, I dropped my bag and sat beside her. “What guy? Is everything alright?”“That damned kidnapper!” Bonnie shouted. “H- He wants me to- He wants me…” She trailed off, handing the phone over for me to have a look. Unlike Bonnie, I'm not much surprised by the response.When she sent him her p
“Let's divorce.”His cold and low voice rang out in the empty living room. I froze in the doorway, and my bag dropped on the floor.Inside the dimly lit room, the moonlight streamed through the curtains, reflecting on Theo’s intimidating presence.He sat at the coffee table, his unwavering gaze on me devoid of any warmth. I must have heard him wrong. Maybe I've imagined those words in my excited state.D- Divorce. No way.My heart beat uncomfortably, and my palms were suddenly sweaty as I bent to pick my bag from the floor.Trying so hard to convince myself that he didn't say that, Theo confirmed it further by knocking the divorce papers on the table. “You can ask for anything you want. I won't treat you unfairly.” His cold words numbed me.I glanced up, my initial shock now replaced by a feeling of realization.My eyes fell on the divorce papers, my vision blurred suddenly with tears that clouded my eyes.So this is it. Struggling to control my emotions as they threatened to bu...
