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

Olivia stood in awe as she stepped into Asher's parents' mansion, her eyes widening at the grandeur that surrounded her. 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. Even though it was just a pretend engagement, she had enjoyed the experi

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
Heartless Billionaire: The Stolen Smile Chapter 39
Olivia glanced at her parents and her lips parted. “He must have know who I am, but please tell me who he is?” Tears welled up in her eyes. Juliet glanced at Parker for support before continuing, it was breaking her heart over and over again to watch Olivia cry. "I also think you know who he is, perhaps he must have met you, perhaps he looked into our family and saw the mess we were in, and then he approached us using our dire financial straits against us. He offered to help by paying off the debt when we needed it most, but on one condition – that you marry him." Olivia's mind was a whirlwind of confusion and disbelief, she has just returned to this country, so who could it be. She looked at her parents and shook her head. "Then why the hell will you and father agree to such a thing without consulting me first?!" Her eyes were bloodshot as she looked at them. "I'm afraid your father saw it as the best way to save the family business, to clear our deb

Olivia’s eyes fluttered open, she glanced at the white ceiling, and slowly turned her gaze to the beeping monitor, then the iv drip that was connected to her hand, she groaned slowly realizing she was back to the hospital, she wanted to get up but then felt someone by her side.She glanced to her left and there he was, sitting next to her bed, his head rested on her bed next to her hand and his eyes shut.She exhaled sharply when she recalled how she had called him and how he had carried her in his arms to the car, he must have take her to the hospital and didn’t leave.She glanced at his wristwatch and noticed it was past eight in the morning, she then turned her gaze back to his face, she trace his long lashes with her gaze down to his sharp pointed nose and then his lips.There was no doubt, Asher was handsome, but his arrogance, his lies, they all made her despise him, she liked him when she didn’t know he would be the one getting married to her, when he was helping her escape the

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
