David pov "Why didn’t you let me know you were roaming outside?" I said, my annoyance clear as I parked the car in front of my place. I was seriously frustrated at this point. She just stared at me, not saying a word. "How do you know I’m here?" she asked, which only made my jaw tighten in irritation. "That’s not what I asked," I replied. Hearing that, she got out of the car and headed straight for the house. I closed my eyes, trying to calm down, but I quickly followed her, slamming my door behind me. "Don’t fuck with me, Olivia. I’m not in the mood," I warned her. She paused for a moment. "I don’t have an answer for you. I just went to see James," she stammered. I stepped closer, closing the gap between us. "If you want to see him, fine, but not like this—wandering around when I’m not here to look out for you," I said. She frowned, her eyes narrowing. "I don’t need your protection, David," she shot back, making me clench my jaw as a possessive instinct kicked in. I pulled he
Olivia pov I was dozing off peacefully when the sun's rays started to warm me up. Mmmmm, I let out a little moan as I buried my face deeper into the pillow, inhaling that irresistible scent. Just as I was about to relax completely, my eyes flew open. Wait a minute, this pillow doesn’t smell like that, and why is it so tight? I blinked and saw David's face just inches from mine, his eyes closed and arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer. My heart raced as I took in his chiselled jaw and those striking features, not to mention that intoxicating scent that could make any girl weak in the knees."Don’t look at me like you’re about to fall in love," he murmured in a sleepy voice, making my heart skip a beat as he opened his eyes. Those deep, dark pools seemed to hold a world of secrets, and for a moment, I was lost in them. "I... umm... let me go," I stammered, cursing myself for sounding so flustered. My cheeks felt hot, and I could feel the heat radiating from his body, makin
Olivia pov A voice cut through my thoughts, saying, "Don't act like you're about to set that building on fire." I didn't need to be a genius to know who it was. "If you're in, it's always a yes," I replied, glancing at David. He wasn't surprised or shocked; he knew I meant it. Standing in front of his building, I felt a different vibe than when I first arrived. I couldn't deny how beautiful it was. "Try not to use your mouth too much in a press conference," he said, but I just ignored him. Yeah, I was planning to give him the silent treatment because he’s more stubborn than anyone I know. And honestly, I had no intention of ruining his reputation; I'm not that cruel. Right ?Anyway, focus, Olivia. I was wearing a baby pink dress that hugged my curves, covering my arms and knees. I definitely wasn’t there to seduce anyone; I just needed to look good for this event, which felt like my own downfall. I turned to face him—his white shirt and black coat, perfectly styled hair, and tha
David pov One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight—slowly, I shut my eyes, listening to the tick-tock of the clock on my office wall. The place is buzzing with chatter, but all I can focus on is that watch. Olivia is over there with her parents, avoiding eye contact after what went down earlier. Not that I care, right? "David, you jerk!" A voice snaps me back to reality. I turn around to see James, looking sharp in his three-piece suit. Thank goodness he showed up; I need a distraction from thoughts of how Olivia's thighs felt against my hand. "Why are you so late?" I ask, trying to keep it cool. He scoffs."Yeah, it’s all because I couldn’t decide what to wear." He waves down a waiter and orders us two drinks. Normally, I wouldn’t drink before something important, but right now, I down it to push Olivia out of my mind. "So, how’s my sister doing? Taking care of her?" James asks. I shoot him a look. "Go ask your brilliant sister," I snapped. He playfully punches my shoulder a
Olivia pov The smell of leather hit me like a ton of bricks, and I shut my eyes, trying to push away the anxiety creeping in. David still wasn’t here; maybe he was chatting with James. I know it’s rude to just show up without saying hi to anyone in the family, but honestly, I’m over it. I’m done with tonight, done with people, and definitely done with this anxiety. I need something to calm me down, like, right now. I let out a sigh and opened my eyes, the reporter's question still echoing in my head—him with another girl? No way. If that were true, he would definitely tell me. I know David; he’s not the type to cheat. He’s straight and has enough guys around to keep things real. Just then, I spotted a figure approaching—David was strutting towards me like he owned the place, coat in one hand and sleeves rolled up. My stomach twisted. He got in the car, tossed his coat in the back seat, and looked at me. “Are you okay?” he asked, so politely it made me wonder if he was really David
Olivia pov My legs are sore, my body aches, my vagina feels numb, and my jaw is still throbbing. I’ve already woken up, but I can’t muster the energy to open my eyes. The remnants of last night swirl in my mind like a fog, leaving me disoriented. I have no clue where I am or who I’m with; all I know is that I’m lying on a comfy bed, and a familiar scent is wafting through the air—something warm and comforting, like fresh linen mixed with a hint of cologne. I take a deep breath, trying to shake off the lingering haze, and finally manage to pry my eyes open. The bright light streaming through the window momentarily blinds me, but as my vision adjusts, I realize I’m in my room. The white walls are glowing with sunlight, making everything look so pretty, almost ethereal. I turn my head slowly, and my heart skips a beat when I see David sleeping next to me. This is the second time I’ve found him like this on my bed, looking like a Greek god. Last time, he had clothes on, but now he’s co
David pov I can't shake off Olivia's words: "Forget what happened; it's just a heat of the moment." I close my laptop and rub my eyes, realizing she might be right. I should just let it go; it was a fleeting moment, and nothing's going to come of it. Just then, my phone buzzes, and I see a message from Andrew. Perfect timing, right? I read, "Good job, everyone knows you’re my son-in-law." My jaw clenches, and I toss my phone onto the desk. I then open my laptop to check out the info Alex sent me.I open the email where Rhys and his son Zayden meadows information is there. I need to know whom I am dealing with in case things go worst.In the shadowy underworld of organised crime, one name reigns supreme: Rhys Meadows. The ruthless and cunning Mafia King has built an empire through blood, sweat, and tears, crushing all who dare oppose him. His reign of terror is legendary, and his power is unmatched.But beneath the surface of Rhys' iron-fisted rule lies a complex web of family dynam
Olivia pov I need this red dress," Sofia said, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she held the garment up against her. I couldn't help but frown at her enthusiasm. "This one? As far as I know, this isn’t really your style," I replied, giving her a sceptical look while taking in her cheerful face, which was practically glowing with anticipation."And what is my style?" she shot back playfully, raising an eyebrow at me. I nodded slowly, considering my response. "A decent girl, not a slutty one," I laughed, and she joined in, her laughter ringing out like music in the bustling mall. Right now, Sofia and I were just hanging out, enjoying a much-needed shopping spree. The mall was alive with the sounds of chatter, laughter, and the occasional clinking of shopping bags. I felt surprisingly good, my legs not aching at all after a hearty breakfast, a refreshing nap, and waking up feeling rejuvenated. It was a perfect day to escape the monotony of life. My legs are not in pain anymore.
