David pov
“Sir do you need anything” my house maid said, making me shake my head. “Not now leave and don't let anyone come inside my room” I said in a serious tone as I removed my watch and put it in the drawer. I release a shaky breath before throwing my head back. I closed my eyes. I never doubted my decision ever in my life , but marrying Olivia for a deal really made me want to think twice. Suddenly the door wide open revealing Amelia. I roll my eyes this fucking maid can't do one job properly. Seeing me she came inside and locked the door. She looks nervous but that's what she actually has to feel right now. “ Why don't you pick up my calls” she said, making me frown my eyes. “ Isn't it obvious I don't want to talk to you?” I said making him sigh. “ I don't know why it's taking so much time just to cut his throat,” she said in frustration, making me scoff. “ Because if I did what you said. The next day your throat would hang in front of our house” I said, making her grab her hair is frustrating. “ It's not that big a deal why you're making it big” she said, making my jaw tighten in anger as I got up from my bed. If she is not my sister I surely kick her ass right now. “ Big deal I am making” I said in anger as I opened the drawer and took out an envelope. I throw that on her face. As she close her eyes trying not to see those fucking pictures. “ The big deal is that fucking pictures of you kissing and making out with the meadows son” I shout in anger making her go all shut. I grab my hair in frustration. The Meadows family is definitely no joke. They're one of the most powerful mafia families in all of London. They control all the illegal businesses in the city. And finding out that my sister is dating their son is definitely not the news I wanted to hear. I still remember that day when Amelia came to my office all crying in a mess. When I was doing some work. I asked what happened and she started crying more while hugging me, telling me that someone is blackmailing her with some photos that were clicked when they were spending some quality time. Fuck that quality time. They are clearly making out. Ryan Meadows is gonna slice her throat after knowing that his son and my sister share a very serious relationship.When he's already arranged his son's marriage with some mafia daughter for the sake of their reputation, things are going to get ugly. It could even get worse, because this could ruin his reputation and no amount of money will be able to save her. That's why I take all this shit in my hands. No matter what, I can't see my sister like this. Plus my reputation that I made in these years. Doing too much hard work is gonna fall down in two seconds. I released a shaky breath. “ This is not normal, it doesn't matter from where Andrew finds these pics. The main thing is he can destroy everything if we don't do what he said” I said, tightening my fiest. Hearing me she started crying while throwing her head in her hands. “ I just love him a lot. I don't know if this will cost me this much” she said. No one knows about it, not dad nor mom. I can't let them know about this. Seeing Amelia like this I approach her. “ Crying is not the solution, just chill. I already handled this” I said, making her confused. She fastly wiped her tears. “ What do you do?” she asks in confusion as I sit on the bed. “ He wants you to marry his son for his reputation” I said, making her shocked. “ Did you fix my marriage with his son?” she asked in shock, making my eyes frown. I look down and clench my jaw before speaking “ Not yours but mine. I am marrying his daughter.” I said, making her eyes widen. Amelia's mouth hung open in shock as she processed my words. The room fell into a heavy silence, broken only by the sound of her uneven breathing. I could see the wheels turning in her mind, trying to make sense of the situation. “ Are you really marrying that jerk daughter?” she asked clearly frustrated. "Well, it's just an engagement. I'm making sure the wedding date is far enough away so I can delete all the photos and proves from him," I said, making her nooded. “ What about dad and mom, do you think they agree with this engagement?” she said, making me sigh. “ I'll take care of that,” I said as she went silent. Convincing mom and dad won't be a big deal. The real challenge is getting rid of all the photos from Andrew before our wedding day. I know my reputation might take a hit when people find out I called off the wedding, but I can handle it. “ Thanks for being there for me” she whispered, making me look at her. As she passed me a small smile. I looked at her a couple of minutes before. I turned my attention to another side “ sleep you must be tired” I said hearing me she scoff , before standing up from the bed. She is going to leave when I stop her. “ Do you still love him?” I ask. It's barely a whisper but she heard me. She turned around with a smile. “ Things get worse if I give you my answer,” she said, making my eyes soften. She came towards me and hugged me tightly. “ Thanks for being the best brother, Thanks for always being there for me” she said before leaving my room. I chuckle before throwing my body on the bed. I never got what I actually wanted in my life. That small happiness that every kid deserves. But I want my sister to experience that. You have to pay Andrew for all the shit you do. I close my eyes when my phone buzzes, making my eyes shoot open. I look at my phone only to see James is calling me. I frown my eyes. Why is he calling me right now?. I picked up the call. “ Hello” I said only to hear silence. But soon he talked. “ Come out from your house” he said and cut the call, making me confused. Without wasting any time I leave my house. James never behaves like this. Calling me and saying come out from your house is new to me. Guards open the door for me as I step outside I see no one. I turn around only to get hit by someone. I look up only to see James is standing with an angry face. I scoff and touch my face. I'm sure that jerk must have told him about the deal. James is about to hit me again when I swiftly grab his hand and twist it, causing him to yelp in pain. "Fuck you, fucker," James shout in anger, which only earns a laugh from me. "I can clearly see who the real fucker is here," I said as I let go of his hand and walk away. "Why the hell did you agree to marry my sister? " he shouts, grabbing my collar. "Go ask your dad," I calmly reply, removing his hand. Upon hearing my response, he looks at me for a moment before speaking. "I know why my dad arranged this marriage, but I don't know your reason," he says with a disgusted look ever, causing me to roll my eyes. "Because I love your sister," I say. COMPLETE BULLSHIT. Loving a girl like her is never going to happen, not in a million years. He furrows his brows upon hearing my words. "Oh, really? And when did this sudden love happen? As far as I know, you both can't even stand each other's presence," he says, chuckling. I scratch my head in frustration. "It just happened. Now, if you're done, just leave," I say, about to enter my house. However, I stop myself, turn around, and punch that jerk right in the face. "What the fuck?" he shouts, and a smirk forms on my face. "Don't you dare hit me again," I warned him before turning again. “ Make my sister cry and I will make sure I break your bones” he said, making me sigh as I ignored him and went straight to my house.Olivia povI was peacefully sleeping when the sun rays woke me up with a yelp of irritation. Slowly opening my eyes, I sat up on the bed and grabbed my head. Damn, my head is hurting. I reached for my phone to check the time and my eyes widened. It's 9 am already, and breakfast is waiting downstairs. If I'm late, Dad will start his lecture again.I fastly got up and went straight to the washroom. I freshen myself before going downstairs. “ Good morning” I say hesitantly, seeing all of them sitting waiting for me. Hearing me dad look at me.“What's wrong with you, should I have to remind you to always come on time? '' he said angrily, making me look down as mom shook her head in disappointment. I slowly sit beside James. He looks normal. I mean he doesn't look angry. I shake all my thoughts away. I take some bread and some scramble eggs and start eating my breakfast.“ Stop behaving like an irresponsible kid, your marriage is fixed so behave mature” dad said making me frown my eyes a
David pov “ I guess six months are enough to remove all the photos and prove.” my lawyer Charlie said. He has been my lawyer for a long time. He handles all my legal or illegal stuff. That's why I can trust him. “ More than enough, so in today's dinner party I tell Andrew that Olivia and I are going to marry after six months” I said, making him nooded.“ But I don't think it's necessary to get engaged this soon,” he asked, making me sigh. He doesn't know Andrew but I do. If I told him the actual wedding date, he would freak out. So to distract him, I fixed our engagement a little soon. “ A person like you never loved someone”. Suddenly from nowhere, Olivia's words hit me. My jaw tightened in anger , this girl is really getting hard to control. After she left, I couldn't think straight. Her words , her voice, her presence and that fucking perfume with a deep, creamy sweetness with warm undertones of amber, along with leather and wood. Making my dick hard by just inhaling that seduc
Olivia pov “Girl you look too hot Alex may die after seeing you” Sofia said in a teasing tone making me roll my eyes.This girl really knows how to tease me. I turn my attention towards the mirror, the black dress really hugging my curves well.“ btw when you guys confess your feelings to each other” Sofia said. Making me sigh, this girl. Hearing her I sat on the sofa.“ Sofia I don't love Alex, it's just a little crush I have on him.” I said. She nodded as she fixed her hair. Alex and I have been friends since school. I have a slight crush on him, and I think he might feel the same. However, we never confess our feelings to each other. We never will, especially now when my marriage is fixed.“ Are you really agreeing with that marriage?” she asked, looking straight at me. Making me take a deep breath.“ Look at me, do you think I have some choice?” I said. Only to get a chuckle from her. “ Well David is also not bad, he is hot,” Sofia said. I look at her with a disgusted face. Tha
David pov The noise of a fork scratching on a plate is echoed in the silence. As I look up only to see Amelia eating her breakfast like we don't feed her anymore. I am pissed.Not because of the sound but the attitude she is showing after doing the worst shit she can do ever. Eating dinner with my family is not a bad idea but it's not good either. Dad glanced at Amelia and then me.“ Can you stop eating like an animal” dad said, making a smirk plaster in my face. I know he is going to say that. Hearing dad she sighs.“ Did the investors come?” dad asked, making me frown my eyes. I slightly nodded, making him nod too. Is this the right time to tell them about me marrying Olivia? Without wasting any time I clear my throat.“ I fixed my marriage” I said in a cold tone, only to make dad stop his actions. “ What” mom shouted, making me nodded. She looked shocked, but not enough to care. “ I am going to marry in 6 months and the engagement is in 3 months” I said. Only to get a scoff by
David pov "How long do you think it would take to hack his laptop?" I inquire as I casually browse through some emails on my phone. "I'm not sure, he has a lot of security measures and settings in place, it's quite challenging," Alex responds, catching my attention. Hearing that even the world's best hacker is struggling to hack that simple crappy laptop really annoys me. I've known Alex for a long time, he's the only one who has helped me with all my shady work, but now if he's saying it's tough, then it must be. "Any other ideas?" I ask again. "Hmm, maybe it could take months or even longer," he replies. Damn, I don't have that kind of time. That guy is really trying to outsmart me. I clear my throat and swivel my chair towards Alex in my office, it's just the two of us. "You know what, I suggest you talk to Miles Ryan," Alex proposes, causing me to furrow my brow. "It's risky, what if his father finds out?" I question. He sighs, "It's not like you're not already at risk, so why
Olivia pov “Olivia, are you crazy?" Sofia yelled loudly in my ear. I rolled my eyes and replied, "Yes, yes," in an irritated tone. "But why do you have to move in with him before marriage?" she asked, popping a piece of chocolate into her mouth. "Dad knows him, he wants this," I explained, causing her to sigh. Living with that jerk before marriage is the worst thing I can imagine, but I have no choice. "Forget it, Sofia. I've accepted that no one can love me," I said, feeling defeated. "So, when are you both moving?" Sofia asked, catching my attention. "Maybe tomorrow. Can you believe I haven't even met his family yet?" I said, shocked. Marrying someone you hate, and on top of that, not even meeting his family - just wow. Sofia's eyes widened in shock. "Tomorrow? That's so soon! And you haven't even met his family? Olivia, what are you getting yourself into?" I shrugged, feeling a sense of resignation wash over me. "I don't know, Sofia. I just know I have to do this. My dad want
Olivia pov *Knock* * knock* *knock*My eyes shoot open at the loud knock on the door. I sigh as I get up from the bed and look at my phone, only to see it's 7 am. Too early for me. I put my phone down when the door knocks again, making me angry. I angrily get up from my bed and open the door, only to see James with a smiling face. "What the hell do you want?" I ask in an annoyed tone. "Come downstairs," he said, making me confused. "Why does someone die?" I ask, only to get a hit on my head. "Watch your tongue, girl. Come downstairs now," he said. What the hell do they want from me now? In no time, I push James aside and go downstairs. "At least freshen up," James said, only to get a glare from me. "It's my home, I do what I want," I said as I reached the living room, only to see Dad and Mom sitting on the sofa, and right in front of them, a muscular man sitting with a not-so-happy look on his face. It took me some minutes to recognize him. What the hell is David doing here? S
David pov "Is this your house?" she asked, staring at the house in awe. "Nope, it's your funnel," I replied, stealing that moment of wonder in an instant. She shot me a glare, which only made my smirk grow wider. Without wasting a second, I headed straight to my place, and she followed right behind me. Once inside, Olivia started inspecting the house. "Isn't this a bit too big for just us?" she remarked. Hell yes, it is, but who cares? This was the only place that caught my eye. It’s pricey, but not overly so. "Yeah," I replied coolly. Olivia didn’t seem to mind—why would she? She gets to live in this huge house. After checking everything out, we made our way to the kitchen. "Wow, this is gorgeous!" she exclaimed, admiring the space. I sighed and walked over to her. "I don’t have time to waste, so listen up," I said firmly, making her frown. "What?" she asked, and I moved closer, inching until her back hit the kitchen counter. I trapped her in my arms, noticing how nervous she was,
David pov Andrew shouted, "What are you doing?" just as I landed a solid punch to his face. The impact reverberated through the room, and he crashed onto the table, fear washing over him like a tidal wave. I wasn’t about to let him off the hook easily, not with my girl lying in a hospital bed, barely clinging to life. The image of her pale face haunted me, fueling my rage. I yanked his collar, glaring into his eyes, which were wide with a mix of shock and terror. "I warned you, didn’t I? I told you not to cross the line, especially not with her."The words dripped with venom as I followed up with another punch, this time to his nose. Blood spilled out, painting a stark contrast against his pale skin. The metallic scent filled the air, mingling with the adrenaline coursing through my veins. Thankfully, it was just the two of us in the house; if anyone else had been around, I wouldn’t have cared. I was beyond reason, driven by a primal instinct to protect what was mine.He gasped, "Wha
Olivia pov I gradually open my eyes, feeling a sharp pain in my right hand. As I turn to my side, I notice the nurse is busy filling up a glucose bag. A sleepy moan escapes my lips when I realise David isn’t here. Where could he be? Ugh, he must be crammed into that tiny bed. I let out a sigh and asked the nurse, "When can I go home?" She looks at me and replies with a smile, "Today," before heading out. Great, now I’m stuck here alone. I really need to hit the bathroom. Taking a deep breath, I push myself up. Guess it’s time for a solo trip to the washroom. I grab the nearest lamp that’s sitting by the machines and use all my strength to move. They’ve had me in this cold water for way too long, and I feel like I’m starving. No wonder my legs, hands, and pretty much my whole body feel so numb that I can barely walk. Where’s David? I glance at the door again, but it’s still empty. With another deep breath, I take a step forward, then another, letting out little screams with each ste
Olivia pov I can feel the chill against my skin, my eyes are shut tight, and I’m lying on the bed. I’m not sure where I am, but I guess it’s a hospital since I can hear the machines beeping around me. Slowly, I crack my eyes open and find myself staring at a spinning fan right above me. As I turn my head, I notice needles stuck in my hand, and I’m dressed in a hospital gown. My heart sinks. I try to push myself up but end up collapsing back down. “What are you doing?” a voice calls out. I glance to my side and see David sitting on the couch. He stands up when he sees me, and he looks so different—his eyes are tired, his face is dull, and he seems completely drained, like he’s just existing without really living. With all my strength, I manage to sit up, and he watches me from a distance. Our eyes meet, and we don’t say a word; we just silently communicate how empty we feel without each other. “I love you,” the words slip out before I can stop them. He looks at me, confused. “F
David pov "Take that outside," I said, frowning. "But it's just a wallet." He shook his head at me. "Drop it outside," he replied in a cold tone, making me comply. Rhys had trained his bodyguard well. I set my wallet aside as the guard started checking me again. I waited patiently, eager to get this over with because Olivia's parents and her brother, who is also my childhood friend, had no idea she was missing. It’s not that I don’t want them to know; I’m just too swamped with their so-called drama. That’s why I asked my mom to fill them in, so Andrew could get a sense of what’s going on. Trust me, if anything happens to Olivia, I’m going to take that bastard down hard. "All done," the guard said, leading me to Rhys's office. I walked slowly, taking in the mansion—it was a bit bigger than mine. I was pretty sure there was a basement where they were keeping Olivia. The blue walls with grey shades gave off a really dull vibe. How long do I have to match his slow pace? How long until
Olivia pov The icy water hit me, jolting me awake as I gasped for air, my eyes snapping open to nothing but darkness. Panic surged through me as the memory of what happened flooded back— Fuckk, I’ve been kidnapped. My head throbbed painfully, and my body felt completely numb from the cold water soaking me. I was tied to a wooden chair that reeked of something dead—let’s just say it's an animal, because thinking otherwise would freak me out even more. My mind raced with questions, but no answers came. I could hear faint laughter in the background, and just as I felt myself slipping away again, the lights flickered on, revealing the grim reality of my situation. It took a moment for my eyes to adjust, and I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. I was in a basement—dimly lit, with a bloody smell and an overall horror vibe, the kind of place where people get tortured or worse. And now it seemed like it was my turn. I spotted three muscular goons who had barged into my house. “L
David pov The sound of my kick echoed through the room as I smashed the door open, sending it crashing onto the marble floor. "Where the hell were you guys when all this went down?" I yelled, my voice booming enough to make my bodyguards flinch. The chaos that greeted me in my own home was a sight I never wanted to see. And Olivia fuckkkkkkk.Furniture was overturned, shattered glass littered the floor, and the air was thick with the stench of fear and desperation. My heart raced as I thought of Olivia—was she safe? The thought of her being with Ryan's crew sent a wave of nausea through me."Sir, we weren't here when it happened. Only four of our guys were, and they're already dead," one of my bodyguards replied, his voice trembling slightly. I could see the fear in his eyes, and it only fueled my anger. I slammed my fist on the nearest table in frustration, the wood splintering under the force of my blow. That’s when I noticed it—a dark, dried stain of blood on the floor that sent
David pov Today has been such a long day. I let out a big yawn as I shut my laptop; it’s already 10 PM, and the office closed an hour ago. Yet, here I am, still stuck in my cubicle working on upcoming projects. James was right; I really need to let others handle their tasks instead of taking everything on myself. Not that my own problems are any less. I glance at my watch again—has Olivia already fallen asleep, or is she waiting for me? Time to head home, I mumble to myself as I stand up. Just as I’m about to leave, my phone rings. I pick it up and see it’s one of my bodyguards. Great, what now? I answer, and he says, “Sir, Amelia is leaving.” I’m instantly confused. “What?” I ask firmly, but he goes silent. “Answer me, damn it!” I shout. Finally, he responds, “Sir, Amelia is sneaking out of the house with all her luggage and some guy.” My confusion turns to shock. This girl… “Where are they?” I demand, anger and fear bubbling up inside me. I know it’s Zayden. “Sir, they’re leavi
Olivia pov I'm at the sink with this plate, the tenth one to wash. It's not even dirty; I'm just going over all the clean ones again to avoid any disasters. "Ugh, damn it!" I yell as I slam the plate down, shattering it into pieces. "Calm down, Olvia, just breathe," I tell myself, but how can I? He did it again! How does he always manage to disappear after we’ve spent hours together? I plop down in the nearest chair, trying to shake it off, but it’s no use. This morning, I wake up and David is nowhere to be found. All I got was a text saying he had to leave for some urgent work. I remember how hard I slammed my phone on the table after reading that. I know I shouldn’t be this upset, but I am. I want him there when I wake up, wrapped in his arms as I open my eyes. Instead, I’m left with an empty bed. I don’t know why I keep expecting more from him. He’s never said he loves me or even cares; it’s just me hoping that maybe this marriage could work. But guess what? I sigh, realising I
David pov The lights were bright, making it hard for me to focus. "So, should we start working on the project?" one of the Group 1 employees asked, prompting a sigh from me as I tried to process his presentation. The fluorescent lights overhead buzzed, casting a harsh glare on the glossy presentation slides that flickered on the screen. I rubbed my temples, feeling the weight of the day pressing down on me. "Alright, go ahead with that project, but make sure to get a top celebrity to promote it," I replied, standing up to leave the meeting room. The thought of celebrity endorsements always seemed to add a layer of excitement, but it also meant more pressure. "Sir, what about Group 2? They still have pending projects," my secretary reminded me, causing me to pause and turn back. Her voice was steady, but I could sense the underlying urgency. "Give them a week. If they can't finish their pending projects by then, that's on them," I said as I walked into my office, the door clicking s
