Heartless Billionaire: The Stolen Smile Chapter 42
Olivia took a deep breath and turned her cell phone off as she turned her gaze back to Chloe who was surprised because the Olivia she knew would never shut Lawrence off. “Are you okay?” Chloe asked, concern evident in her eyes. Olivia shook her head, her sincerity showing as she slowly lowered her gaze. “Honestly, I am not,” she admitted, her voice heavy with sorrow. “I still think of Lawrence. He is my best friend and a man I have crushed on for almost my entire life. There's no way I wouldn't cry and beg him to make me his girlfriend instead of Angel. But what use is it when I'll be getting married in two days?" Her words carried a sense of resignation and pain in her heart. Chloe slowly took her hand and squeezed it gently trying to offer comfort. “I am sad that you are going through all of these, if only things were better, I would have asked you to escape with me,” she said, attempting to lighten the mood. Olivia chuckle. “Oh, my boyfriend, you are the only one that I love…” O

Asher walked over to her, a thin smile spread through his lips as he approached her, his leg covered in black trouser.“Why are you here?” Olivia quickly asked, he was the last person she thought she would see again, their deal was over, there was no deal to start with, she helped him and that was it, she didn’t need his favor anymore.He tilt his head when he saw the look on her face, it didn’t look like things were going on well for her. “You don’t look so bright, did you fail in your mission of convincing your parents about the marriage?” He raised the corner of his brows, already knowing the answer to his question since no one has called him with a change of plan.Olivia drew a sharp breath and looked away from his eyes. “Well, it didn’t work out, I think I am still stuck.” She exhaled sharply and then looked at him. “I am sure yours is working out…”“Yeah,,, you can say that.” He grinned as he looked at her. If only you know who that is with.“I am so happy for you,” She smiled.

Olivia arrived home and headed straight into her room, she felt exhausted, she knew she has talked to Chloe and cleared her mind, but her heart still felt heavy, she has ignored Lawrence call from earlier and has met Asher waiting for her close to her apartment and has requested a favor from her.And to top to everything, her wedding day is in two days, the weight of the world seemed to lift off her shoulders as she stepped into her cozy room.She didn’t feel hungry as she has eaten dinner with Chloe, and her parents didn’t come to call her for dinner, perhaps Chloe has told them she was with her all day, they didn’t look so worried, not that she was ready to say a words to either of them.After a quick hot shower later, she came out of the bathroom rejuvenated, wrapped in the soft embrace of her favorite pajamas, on that she has gotten on the last summer camp in high school because she knew Lawrence was going to that came too.As she snuggled into her bed, the dim glow of her bedside

There was no way she could say no, not when it was Lawrence, they have had their odds as best friends, but they had work it out together, the last person she wanted to hold grudges on was Lawrence, he is her one true love, someone she couldn’t bear keeping malice."We need to talk, Lawrence," she replied, her voice steady despite the turbulence of her emotions. “I understand you have a girlfriend, although in don’t know why you kept her a secret, but I am okay with you keeping one, you should have told me earlier about it, did you know how surprised I was to find out like that?” She lied.“I am sorry, she is---““It’s okay, I forgive you.” She didn’t want to hear him explain, she was also keeping a secret from him, one that he would find out in two days, but when they get to that bridge they were going to cross it, but for now, she didn’t want to be reminded of that contractual marriage.“Olivia…”“I have something else to tell you.” She told him and walked over to the swing and sat d

Olivia stood in front of her open wardrobe, her fingers gently grazing the fabric of the dresses that hung before her. Asher's words from last night echoed in her mind, he wanted to take her somewhere.To spend the whole day with her, in return of finding out who she was getting married to, he had said, with a hint of excitement in his voice that had left her curious yet also slightly nervous.Her gaze settled on a dress that held sentimental value, the one Asher had gifted her on their previous outing. It was a delicate balance of elegance and comfort, with a soft rose hue that brought out the warmth in her complexion.Olivia's lips curled into a small smile as she remembered that day, how nervous she was, but still confident and brave to respond to his scary parents and the sparkles in Asher's eyes as he had helped her into the dress.If I am going to appear in the presence of his parents again, then I should wear something similar to this dress She thought to herself.With a determ

Before Olivia could get a better look at her, Asher speed off their drive way heading into traffic, and Olivia drew a sharp breath and shut her eyes slowly.“Trouble at home?” He asked briefly looking at her and she opened her eyes and swallowed hard,“Just the usual,” Her voice were soft, but she turned to him again recalling something quickly. “Have you found who my groom is?” She asked him.What do you think? You are sitting in the same car with him. He smirked, but his lips parted softly. “My men are working towards finding him out…”“And how are they working on it?” She quickly asked wanting more details, one thing she didn’t want was him also lying to her.Asher glanced at her, no one has ever questioned him, and he wished to act the same way he do to other with her, but he still knew he has to wait until after the wedding to show her who he really was.“Well, I noticed some CCTV camera around your home, my men are going to get it and trace the video of the last people who has v

Asher pulled over at the huge shopping mall, he glanced up at the huge size at the top reading 'LINCOLN, he rolled his eyes like the place was another memory he wished to forget but can't help."Are we here?" Olivia asked as she turned her gaze to him and out of the window, her lips parted. "This place looks huge!" Her eyes dilated.Asher drew a sharp breath and glanced at her. "Is it your first time being here?" He glanced at her while he unfastened his seat belt."Yeah." She nodded and unfastened her seatbelt. "It's my first time." She responded.Asher rolled his eyes, there was definitely no one in the country who hadn't heard of the Lincoln Mall, it is one of the top one malls in the City."Did you fall from the sky?" He asked, pushing the door open.His words made her frown, she glanced at him and scoffed. "No, I didn’t, I arrived in the country after staying away in Hawaii for over three years." She responded and got out of the car.Asher scoffed. "It doesn't matter, everyone kn

He glanced at her arm that was linked to his, apart from Jane, he has never linked arms with any other lady, and the mere feeling of having her touch him was weird.He pulled his arm from hers. "We probably shouldn't---" Before he could finish, she linked arms with him again. "We should, they are watching and I don't want to be discovered today, we better finish up quickly and leave, I hate being watched like this by numerous guards, I don't think I can breathe." She glanced over her shoulder and Asher noticed her unease."Should I send them all away?" He asked, looking at her again."Can you?" She quickly asked but just immediately she shook her head. "You probably shouldn't, let's just finish whatever business we have to do here and get out." She told him.Asher glanced at their link arms again and sighed. I guess I will have to endure this. He thought to himself before leading the way.They both walked along the polished walkway, where elegant sculptures and sleek benches lined th

Olivia sat down on the table Asher has reserved for them, the waitress had also taken their orders and a huge three course meal was served on the table, it felt like a feast, Olivia glanced up at Asher who was busy eating.“I thought you are meeting someone here? 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
