Olivia walked up to the rooftop with tears in her eyes, everyone had lied to her, they were constantly lying to her, people she thought would tell her the truth was withholding it, it was painful, it was saddening.She hated it here, she wished she had not come back, her parent had told her lies, and were still lying to her face, Chloe and Lawrence knew but didn’t tell her, and just now, she had found out there were more things she didn’t know about.“Ah!” She shouted out in pain as she got to the rail of the rooftop, she felt a great ache in her chest, her breathing became heavy.“Do you need a drink?” A voice asked behind her and she quickly turned, startled by the voice only for her eyes to fall on a young man who stood in the moonlight holding out a bottle of wine to her.She didn’t glance at his face, he looked like a nuisance and she wanted to be left alone. “I don’t want company.” She glanced away from him. “You should read the room.” She added and ignored him.Asher who was up
Asher furrowed his brows, he rubbed his ear as if her sob was nuisance to his ears, scratching the corner of his hair, he glanced at her, but she still covered her face with her palm, yet she wasn’t acting funny.She doesn’t look drunk He thought as he stared at her, there were no staggering movements, he breathes a sigh of relief. I guess she can handle her liquor. That had been the reason he had stayed here and listen to her crap, but now that she was fine, he knew he had to leave.He turned around to leave, walking slowly away from her, but halt when he suddenly heard her stop sobbing, he turned around and his eyes dilated when he watched her about to put her leg on the rail.Asher quickly rushed over, dropping the wine glass as it shattered on the ground, he grabbed the back of her dress and pulled her back and she leaned on his body in a back hug.“Hey! Are you crazy?!” He shouted and pulled her away from his body as he glanced at her face with a frown. “Why would you want to k
Asher got to his feet and looked away from Olivia's face, he had spent enough time listening to her nonsense.He took out his cell phone and dialed Roy's number, placing the phone on his left ear, he glanced away from Olivia."Hello, Mr. Asher." Roy immediately said after answering the call at the first ring."Get Chloe to the rooftop, or whatever this stupid's lady friend is." He gritted his teeth, casting a cold glance at Olivia who was still sipping, feeling very tipsy."Huh?" Roy didn't under what he meant, but Asher didn't repeat himself, rather he ended the call.Roy glanced at the screen of his phone, the call already disconnected, he blinked and looked out of the window from where he stood, glancing around, he spotted Chloe."I should get that woman?" He muttered softly and blinked wondering what Asher was up to, but he knew he had to hurry up and do what he was ordered, he put down his wine glass and turned to leave the room he was in.Chloe walked over to Lawrence who had no
Lawrence left through the back with Chloe, the last thing he wanted was for Angel to see him piggybacking Olivia."Asshole!" Olivia said under her breath and Lawrence stiffened, but he continued walking after two seconds, his only aim was to leave her with her before anyone saw them.Chloe hurriedly pushed the door open and Lawrence walked out and she rushed to hail a taxi over."You shouldn't have lied to me about it..." Olivia said softly in a hoarse voice. "You don't understand my heart..." Her tears hit the nape of his neck.Lawrence swallowed hard, clenching his jaw. "Stay still." He told her and glanced ahead and saw the taxi pulled over.He rushed over and Chloe pushed the door open and he put Olivia in. "You should go back to the party now, I will take her home," Chloe told him and Lawrence glanced at the drunk Olivia."She can't handle her liquor, so why did she bother to drink it!" He gritted his teeth and glanced at Chloe. "I will go with you." He was about to get into the
Chloe pushed the parker’s apartment door open with Olivia on her back, the Parker’s turned their dilated eyes at Chloe.“Mrs. Parker, Mr. Parker.” Chloe panted. “Please help me!” She breathed heavily and they both rushed over and helped her take Olivia off her back, and Chloe cried out as her back hurt from carrying Olivia from the taxi to the apartment.“Olivia…” Her mother called out, but Olivia was too wasted to speak. “Ah,,,” Juliet covered her nose. “You reek of alcohol!” She almost hit Olivia for being this drunk, but immediately stopped herself as Parker pulled Olivia to himself.Chloe sat down on the sofa hitting her back slowly, Olivia didn’t have lots of weight and she could carry her, but she her body still ached, this should have been Lawrence job, but he was with his girlfriend.Stupid! Chloe cursed under her breath.Parker and Juliet took Olivia to her room, he lay her down on the bed and Juliet pulled the quilt over her shoulder and they both stood staring at Olivia.“
Olivia slowly opened her eyes, wincing at the harsh rays of sunlight streaming into the room. The pounding in her head intensified as she tried to recall the events of the previous night. As the memories slowly trickled in, she groaned, realizing that she had indulged in a strong drink that has been offered her by that man. Dragging herself out of bed, Olivia stumbled toward the bathroom, her head throbbing with each step. The mirror reflected a disheveled version of herself—messy hair, bloodshot eyes, and a complexion that screamed dehydration. Her reflection was a stark reminder of the consequences of a last night on the rooftop. She turned on the faucet, splashing cold water on her face, hoping it would provide some relief. As she looked at her reflection again, she couldn't help but chuckle at her own foolishness. "Why do I always do this to myself?" she muttered. After freshening up, Olivia ventured into the kitchen, where even the slightest noise echoed through her aching hea
The anticipation of Olivia's upcoming wedding hung heavy in the air, filling the room with a mixture of excitement and nervousness, Juliet paced around in the room, her heart hanging by the thread as she found herself engaged in a heated argument with her husband in their bedroom, their voices carrying through the house."Darling, we can't keep this from Olivia any longer," Parker insisted, his tone laced with urgency.Olivia has just gotten out of her hangover and time was fast approaching, it was already mid afternoon and as Asher has told them, he was coming to pick her even if they haven’t told her about it."She deserves to know the truth about the marriage contract before it's too late, he will be here any moment from now and we are still quiet about all of these.” He told her, but Juliet shook her head.Juliet wore a worried expression. "Honey, I understand your concern, but telling Olivia now would only add unnecessary stress.” She could still recall how drunk Olivia has retur
“Olivia.” Lawrence called out, he has gone to her house and her parents has just informed him that she just left home and he could catch up with her if he goes quickly, and he has just seen her, but what he didn’t understand was the tears in her eyes.Seeing Lawrence brought back hurtful words he has said at the party, they flashed through her mind and she immediately looked away from him and turned to Asher who was staring at her.She didn’t know why he was here, but being close to her parent, or her friends who were constantly betraying her trust was worse than being with a stranger that she has met on the rooftop."Hey!" Olivia called out, her voice trembling with emotion, she doesn’t know his name either, but she hoped he recognizes her.Asher glanced at Lawrence who was already coming over, and he turned his gaze to Olivia, he has been to her father’s building to pick her up hoping that her parents has informed her about the contract and his plan to pick her up.But when he saw h
