Heartless Billionaire: The Stolen Smile Chapter 11
Olivia turned to her side on the bed, it was late afternoon yet she hadn’t eaten breakfast and has lost all appetite for a meal, she hadn’t answered any call from who had called her more than seven times. Her parents had also knocked on the door, yet she didn’t leave the room but called out from inside telling them that she wanted to be alone. She still thought of what she had been told last night, how she won’t be going back to Hawaii, how she won’t be able to complete her studies because of her father’s huge debt, and how they were going to leave this home she had grown up in. They had told her they would be moving to a country side, far from here, next to the oceans, a place with no modern job, perhaps she would become a fisher or a trader, her expensive life would be wash down the drain. She would be separated from Lawrence and from Chloe, it was going to be extremely lonely, yet that is the life they wanted her to live right now. She heard a knock on the door and turned to th

The words that have just come out of this stranger’s mouth has shocked and angered Parker at the same time.“What---“Asher held up his hand to silence Parker who was about to say a words. “I know you must be confused, but so I am, because I never planned to meet your daughter, or to discover that your have a huge debt, but it all happened and I think it has to, so before you jump into conclusion, hear me out first.”Asher glanced from the anger Juliet to the furious Parker, but he wasn’t scared, so he continued what he was saying earlier.“My wedding is next week and I am in need of a wife, and your house will be sealed tomorrow and you would be homeless and go back to staying in a shabby place or relocated to some countryside, starting from scratch again,” He saw the anger that filled Parker’s eyes, but he continued immediately.“But, all that can be avoided with this money, you can pay off your debts and not risk losing this beautiful house that is filled with happy memories, and w

Olivia walked down the street with sadness surrounding her features, she didn’t know what to do or how to stop her family from moving, she had no job and all she had thought was how she would study and work at her father’s company, then inherit it one day.She sniffled, with no tears in her eyes, she spot a bench by the bus stop and strolled over to it, there she sat down and gazed at the road, watching different vehicle drive by.Her cell phone rang and she glanced down at the caller ID to see it was Lawrence, but she lets out a deep sigh and ignored the call.She wanted to tuck her cell phone in her trouser pocket, but the call came again and it was still from Lawrence, so she decided to take the call.“Olivia, where are you?” That was the first thing Lawrence asked when the call connected and the tears she had been holding back clustered in her eyes.“I don’t know.” She said softly, she had just walked out of the house and went in the direction her feet led her, also, it has been a

Asher shut the last document he was reviewing in the study room of his mansion, he drew a sharp breath and put down his glass, getting to his feet, he turned to leave the study room for bed, but halt when his cell phone rang.Taking it out, he saw the unfamiliar number, he pressed down his lips and hesitated to take the call, but on second thought, he answered and placed it on his left air.“Hello, this is Parker, Am I speaking with Mr. Asher Lincoln?” Mr. Parker asked from the other side of the line.Asher’s lips curled up slightly when he recalled who the Parker was. Right about time you called. He thought to himself.“Yes, this is he,” he paused his lips and his brows were raised slightly. “And to what do I owe this call?”There was a brief silence at the other side of the line, but the voice came again. “Let’s meet up.” Parker said out and Asher smirked.“I will give you the address.” He said and disconnected the call.He glanced at the number with a cold smile on his face, then h

Olivia glanced from her mother to her father quizzically, they were too normal for people who were suppose to move today, there was no sign of men on suit pasting sticker everywhere in their house.Her mother had an apron tied around her waist, and a frying spoon, obviously preparing breakfast for the family, and her father had his reading glasses on, it was absurd to be reading when such situation was at hand.Olivia shook her head and tired pinching her face to make sure she was not dreaming when her father had told her they weren’t moving, but it hurts when she pinched her cheek.“Ouch!” She whined.“Olivia, what are you doing?” Juliet suddenly became worried, but Olivia looked at her.“This isn’t a dream?” She blinked saying the words out loud and Juliet breathe a sigh of relief.“No, it isn’t, now go freshen up and come down for breakfast, you look so thin from not eating anything yesterday.” Juliet frowned at her.Olivia couldn’t understand what was going on, just yesterday, her

Why aren’t you leaving?” Her jaw was clenched, if she can give anything, then she wouldn’t be sitting here with him, staring at his face, she wouldn’t want to see him either.Asher sipped some water from his glass before looking at her. “Olivia, what exactly do you want?” He leaned close to the table. “You want me gone, but you get sick if I am not around.” He held her gaze, his bright eyes boring into hers.“I told you before, me being in the hospital isn’t because I miss you, it’s because I want to go back to Seattle.” She reminded him again and he groaned, leaning back, he resumed eating without responding to her.“Just tell me when we would go back!” She furrowed her brows and he smirked.“We can’t go back unless you prov

Olivia stirred awake, her eyelashes fluttered, she slowly touched her head as she glanced around the room and sighed when she discovered it was all a dream when she was having fun with Lawrence and Chloe.“You look happy in your sleep, why frown now?” She heard Asher’s voice and glanced to her side to see him sitting on the sofa and facing her directly.She rolled her eyes at him and sat up on the bed. “I never thought I would see your face.”Asher scoffed at her words, then he put down the papers he held. “You want to see my face, isn’t that the reason you got ill and refused to eat?” He teased her, but Olivia glared at him while adjusting her hair.She looked left towards the window to discover it was already dark, she quickly glanced at the clock on the bedside and her eyes dilated.“Yes, you slept for hours, one who sees you would think I have deprived you of sleep since we are on our honeymoon.” Asher’s voice made her look at him again, she understood what he meant by those words
