Heartless Billionaire: The Stolen Smile Chapter 31
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

Asher knew that first impressions mattered, especially when it came to meeting his parents. He wanted Olivia to make a positive impact, to be seen as a suitable match even though their relationship was merely a charade. If it was Jane, he wouldn’t have a problem thinking about making a positive impact, she was the best for him, the lady who suits him better, she was classy, elegant, dresses nice, one word for her was perfection, only that she ruined it by going to be with someone else. Asher glanced at Olivia, and shook his head, she was nothing compared to Jane, he glanced at her outfit and clicked his tongue. How can she run out of the house dressed like this? So discouraging, she really has a bad taste. “Where are we going?” Olivia asked him when they have driven for a while and she was heading further away from home, although this was what she wanted, but she couldn’t still push away the fact that he was a stranger. “You will see…” He told her. “We are close.” He made a U-turn

The marble floors gleamed under the crystal chandeliers, and intricate artwork adorned the walls. It was unlike anything she had ever seen, and a wave of curiosity washed over her.She glanced at Asher, a mixture of admiration and wonder in her eyes. How could I not be impressed by the opulence that enveloped us?She looked around at the paintings in the wall, the exterior design was nothing compared to the interior design and this was another thing she wanted to quickly brag to her friends, but they were not in talking terms at the moment.Her mind was clouded with questions, she didn’t know Asher so well, but looking at this mansion, she felt he was a son of a wealthy man.Who are you? She looked at Asher again, the questions swirled in her mind, wondering about the extent of his family's wealth.But before she could voice her thoughts, Asher's voice cut through t

Olivia sits at the elegant dining table, surrounded by the cold gazes of Asher's parents, she has done something that she knew was inappropriate, but she has to do it anyway to make their act believable, these little things could act up.She was hoping that they could finish their meal quickly so that she could leave with Asher, it was better being far from here, perhaps being indoor has done a number on her, but she was grateful that right now she has forgotten about her parents plan to marry her off.Olivia glanced up, but she quickly lowered her gaze seeing that the air is thick with unspoken judgments and curiosity.Mrs. Lincoln eyed Olivia critically. “So, Olivia, tell us about your background. What do your parents do?”Olivia glanced up nervously, she has been wondering when they would raise this question, she knew she has watched movies that such question was asked, but she thought it was just acting, and right now, she looked at Asher for help, whereas, he has told her to leav

By the time they left, Olivia felt like she had passed the test with flying colors. She got into the car with Asher, she took one glance at the mansion to see the hardened look on Asher’s parent’s face.Drawing a sharp breath, she looked away from them, being able to leave that mansion in one piece was a relief to her, she turned her eyes at Asher who just drove off without taking one more look at the building.As they drove back to her apartment, Asher put a hand on her knee and squeezed it lightly. "You were great," he said, a genuine smile on his face. "Thanks for doing this." He looked into his eyes.I am also sorry since you think this is all fake, truth is, you will find out soon enough that you were the real person suppose to do this tonight, and I won’t blame you, if these smiles on your face disappears, or if you hate me so much for fooling you.Olivia felt a sense of pride and contentment wash over her.

Parker walked into the living room and Juliet turned to him after coming from Olivia’s room, Olivia has shut her room door before her mother even had the chance to say a word to her since she was angry at them.“He is the one right? What did he do with our daughter?” Juliet asked as she looked into her husband’s eyes, he was also tired of everything that was going on and wished it all stopped.“He took her to meet his parents,” He said softly and Juliet’s eyes dilated. “I don’t know how he convinced her, but he fooled her into meeting his parents as a pretend bride.” He rubbed his hand against his forehead and settled down in one of the sofa.“How did he do that?” Tears welled up in Juliet’s eyes. “What do we tell Olivia now, that the man she met tonight, the man that drove her home is the man who is supposed to marry her in the next three days?” Juliet’s breathing shook.Parker glanced up at his wife and shook his head. “He told us not to tell her about him, he told me not to mention

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
