Jessica's POV

Finally!

It's better late than never, they'd say.

I'd always hated that phrase with all my heart, but now it seemed to work in my favor.

Today, I'll finally get what I've always wanted.

Too good to be true, too realistic that my excitement knew no bounds.

At the Golden Pearls Estate, the vast area of land was decorated with my favorite flowers, roses.

Every wall, every lamppost, and every roofing wasn't left out.

The altar, down to the aisle was decorated to perfection.

It's such a spectacular view that would take everyone's breath away.

Never have I felt this kind of joy in my whole life.

Never have I felt so satisfied, seeing the jealous looks on my friends’ faces and some of my family members.

Well, they're not actually my real family. Mum and Dad adopted me from an orphanage when I was six.

A middle-class family wasn't something I would have gone for if I had a choice, but now, everything's gonna change.

Today, I'll become Mrs. Wellington, Theo's wife.

    …Geneva, Switzerland.Olivia's POV This time I have to get it right.I won't give up trying until my son becomes perfectly innocent and less dangerous to himself or the people around him.Even if it involves bringing in a child's psychology. “Dr. Lawton, what you complained about is rare among kids his age. But it's not something new,” She explained to me. “Could it be that one of his parents was like this when they were young?”Theo sure definitely was. “There's a way to reverse it, right?” I asked, hoping her answer would be positive. If there could at least be a single way. The technology is advanced. Genetics could definitely be altered.“We can reverse it. But we wouldn't wanna tamper with the little boy's brain.” Dr. Sara chuckled. “Come on, Dr. Olivia. You might be a bit worried as the kid's mother, but Dave is perfectly fine. Many parents would give anything to have a kid as smart as him.”“My advice is…” she continued. “Let him mingle with his agemates and engage in kid

The news would spread everywhere.It could affect my reputation and the company's stocks.It could cause a lot of unforeseen damage, inciting many more rumors- so what? Jessica's fans would be enraged and might even boycott my company's products, but that didn't matter now… All that matters is the strong intuition I have.The only thing that matters is my real family. While leaving the estates, I brought out my phone and dialed Jake.“Sir, what's happening? Why did you leave the bride? Is there an emergency?”“Get out of there! Get my private jet ready!” I yelled out the instructions, but the assistant didn't seem to be in his right mind. Frantically, he said, “Please come back, Sir. It's not too late.

    PRESENTTheo's POV If only the hug would last forever.If only she'd remain in my embrace from now on.Inhaling her soft floral scent, my rapid heartbeat eased down, and my tense nerves relaxed. “Olivia…” I whispered. “Please tell me the truth. Five years ago, you were pregnant when you left. Tell me Dave is our son, please.”She shifted. “Please answer me, Olivia,” I added, wondering why she was so silent.But her silence might not be because she was nervous to answer me. She was probably shocked and frozen, and when she returned to her senses, she pushed me away. What I felt next was the hot sensation on my cheek as her palm connected with it. The nostalgia went away. My heartbeat was frantic again, and now it's my turn to be shocked.“Theo Wellington, are you crazy?” She glared at me, lowering her voice as if afraid someone would hear us. “Leave this place immediately!”That's an impossible request. “I came all the way here from L.A. because of you, Olivia…”“So what!?

    “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

    Since that day, I've been forcing myself to focus on work. I’ve been pushing myself not to think about what Theo said to me that day, trying to avoid everything that’s about to happen.The high concentration during the surgeries not only brings a sense of achievement but also helps me forget a lot of things. I've never been so inspired and motivated. I could go on like this with the hope that my mind will be completely numb eventually to all the horrible feelings I've had these past few days. But after a 4-hour surgery today, my body seems to have reached its limit.Unlike the usual fatigue I'd feel after an intense surgery, this is different.My head spun with dizziness, my forehead sweaty.My weakened calves made me unable to walk properly, and as I was about to lose balance, someone held me. “Dr. Olivia, are you okay?” A colleague helped me up.I don't even recognize who it is as I can't make out my surroundings properly, except for her familiar voice.“You’ve been working too

    My lips parted, yet, I could utter no words. Why is he here? Am I seeing wrong?Have I heard him wrong?Ever since I started working in this hospital, Theo has never stepped foot in it.For a moment, my heartbeat woke back to life. I almost believed that he was here for me…until,“Theo, Oh, you're finally here.” Jessica's light voice, weak and desperate, called out from the bed. “What took you so long, Honey?”She attempted to get down from the bed but ended up falling. The crashing sound echoed inside the ward as the IV stand fell in the process.Theo tore his gaze off me, an alarming look flashing in his eyes.In a split second, he was by her side, scooping her off the floor. “That's very dangerous. Be careful.”He gently carried her back onto the bed, his voice unusually tender and soft. “I'm seriously injured, Theo.” Jessica sobbed in his arms, burying her head in his chest. “I should have listened to you and not attend that event. My bones are weak, I can't even walk anymore

    …Geneva, Switzerland Olivia's POV Hope Ethan is right this time.I can't help but get anxious after our phone call last night. His friend, who was supposed to do the transaction for us, suddenly decided to back out when he found out we were sending the money to Theo's account.As it turned out, Theo's influence doesn't only stop in the United States and nobody would dare mess with him. This shady transaction is definitely risky, and not even Ethan's loyal friend is willing to help us. “We'll find another way. I'm very sure of it,” Ethan assured me but my mind is still restless.Dave doesn't realize how much trouble he'd gotten us into as he still insists we use that money. “How about this, Mommy? I want to attend the best astronaut school in the world and you might not be able to afford it. Can we keep the money and use it later as my tuition fees?”“No!” I tried to remain calm, yet I still ended up pulling my air and groaning loudly. “Theo might come for us. Don't you underst

    Did I hear the old man correctly?Why?How?“But, Master…” The Butler looked confused. “What about the Young Master’s future family? Jessica will surely give birth to an heir.”“That's my dumb grandson's business and not mine.” Grandpa Victor dismissed the Butler's name. And then he turned to the lawyer and continued, “This mansion… I, Victor Wellington, hereby declare that its ownership should be written in David Lawson’s name. He'll be the future patriarch of this family and not Theo Wellington.”Why is Grandpa doing this?It appears the old man is already writing his Will. Did he favor Olivia and her son that much? Would he disregard his own family members for them?Dave…David Lawson…Wait… why does that surname sound familiar?Lawson.Dr. Lawson.“Also write this down,” Grandpa Victor continued… “Olivia's son should inherit the Wellingtons' Group of Companies. Unless he chooses a different career path in the future, ensure that he becomes the Chairman of the Group in the future

    Funny how I could not reply to the question.I'd finally resigned to my fate, to marry Jessica. The whole world is aware that our wedding is happening. She'd hyped it up so much that everyone believed I was madly in love with her. What's more better than acting along?Besides, my mother is right. I'm not getting any younger.And Grandpa's desire for an heir is still strong.I couldn't clearly state what I saw in Jessica. I couldn't form a lie either. “Dude, we're waiting….”All their eyes were on me, eager to hear my response. “Come on, Buddy.” Xander grinned. “Don't say she makes you speechless. It can be crazy when you're in love, but at least there has to be one or two things that got you attached.”“Don't tell me it's only because of her beauty,” Ryan exclaimed. “That's impossible. By the way, I'd heard about her obsession with plastic surgery-”“Hey, that's a lie! Is Theo Wellington blind to go for a plastic doll?” Mike stepped in to defend me.However, Ryan was right. Jess

    I didn't just stop at the living room.Grabbing my car keys, I took the most low-key car and left the Villa.Nobody would be able to recognize me and no paparazzi would even take notice.I drove aimlessly around the city for several minutes, wishing it could somehow help calm my thoughts.My heart is unsettled, and so is my mind and I couldn't help but compare the past and the present.Jessica would always follow my instructions, but now she seemed to be forcing things to go her way.With my mother's backing, she does everything she wants.But, my mother has always supported her, and she was always obedient.Is this caused by Grandpa's approval?Why can't she take things slowly? After driving for hours, I pulled over in front of a place I'd promised never to come back to.But I could do with any kind of distraction at the moment. All I want is to just get rid of these frustrating thoughts.Luckily it was already evening and the sky was dark.Nobody would see me enter or exit the bar.
