Lawrence returned home, still trying to reach Olivia on the phone, but her number was turned off, he picked up a bottle of water from his fridge and drowned them all, he glanced at his ringing phone, and picked it up quickly, thinking the call was from Olivia, but it was Angel.He put his phone down again without taking the call, running his hand through his hair, he walked over to the corner of his living room, and picked up a picture he took with Olivia, glancing at it, his eyes became wet.“Olivia, how can you leave me like this?” He clenched his jaw. “You left without a word again, just as you did in the past.” He swallowed hard and traced her face on the picture.His thoughts were abruptly disrupted by the new anchor’s voice. “Breaking news tonight,” the news anchor announced, the urgency in his tone captured Lawrence's attention. “In a grand celebration that has captivated the nation, self-made billionaire tycoon Asher Lincoln is tying the knot in what is being hailed as the wed
Asher greeted a few guest and looked at his father whose eyes met his briefly, he turned away and took out his phone as he sent a message to Roy.Roy who stood some distance away from Olivia who had gone to the rooftop heard his phone buzz in his pocket, he glanced at it and read the message.“Bring her down, we have to leave now, I think this wedding is over.’Roy exhaled sharply and tuck his phone back in his pocket, he glanced at Olivia briefly. ‘She still needs some time.’ He mumbled, but on second thought, he decided to carry out Asher’s order.He walked over to Olivia whose eyes were fixed on the cityscape, clearly unaware of his presence, Roy cleared his throat and she turned, startled.“What are you…?” She furrowed her brows since she recognized him. “He must have sent you here, didn’t he?” She exhaled sharply and turned her gaze away from him.“He asked me to get you, it’s time for you both to leave.” He told her and she closed her eyes momentarily, she felt tired, of everyth
A flight attendant approached Asher who sat next to Olivia whose eyes were closed, she has been admiring Asher from where she stood, she knew he was married now, the news was all over the internet, and she also recognized his bride who sat next to him.“Mr. Asher, would you like me to bring you a blanket?” She asked and Asher glanced at her, then traced her gaze down to Olivia.They had both been silent since the flight took off, she never asked him any question and he didn’t try to start a conversation, he wasn’t even paying attention to her, he had been staring out of the window and thinking back at the time he spent with Jane that he didn’t realize she was asleep.Asher nodded and the flight attendant flashed him a smile and went to bring a blanket, she returned quickly and was about putting it over Olivia but Asher held up his hand.“Hand it over.” He told her and she nodded, he signaled her to leave and she nodded and left, Asher exhaled softly before turning to Olivia.He looked
Lawrence groaned and turned to his side, but he immediately squinted from the bright light coming in from the window. He turned to his side again and slowly flickered his eyes opened, his gaze first settled on the unfamiliar pink quilt.His turned to his side and glanced around the unfamiliar room, he immediately sat up and got out of the bed, the room door opened just when he was about trying to remember how he ended up here, and he glanced at the door to see Angel walk in with a tray and plate.“You are awake, I brought you some hangover soup.” She told him and slowly placed it on the stool next to the bed. “Come and have it, you had much to drink last night,” She glanced up at him with a smile.Lawrence tried to process everything, but he barely remembered how he go here. “Angel, how am I here?” He raised the corner of his brows.Angel raised her hand. “I brought you here, I couldn’t send you home since I don’t know where you live, this was the only place to bring you because you w
The driver pulled over at the luxurious apartment Roy had earlier reserved in Park Hyatt Sydney and he opened the door for Asher and Olivia who stepped out, Olivia glanced at the building.She scoffed to see how luxurious it was, how did she become so stupid to let herself believe this man, he was a wealthy man, and even one whose family has the best company all around the world.She never should have believed him, she never should have felt pity for him and let herself fall for his corny sorrowful expression, part of he was to blame for being in this mess.This was not an arranged marriage that those wealthy people arrange for their children, her parents signed a contract, but this marriage wasn’t even considered as one since she is unaware of the terms or the marriage, she was sold, for money, it was terrible to think about it.“Let’s go, honey.” Asher said softly and she turned her gaze to him, there was a smirk on his lips, but his eyes were void of emotion.She curled her hand in
Asher stepped out of the bathroom dressed in a comfortable pajamas, he glanced around he room but couldn’t find Olivia in the room, her bag was still on the table, but she was gone, he ran his hand through his hair and sigh.Putting away the towel he was holding, he walked over the large window and looked out just to see Olivia sitting on one of the chairs at the balcony. What is she doing now?He clenched his jaw, he turned to leave the room, deciding to ignore her, but then he stopped and walked to the balcony. “Don’t act so pitiful, Olivia.” He told her as he sat on the chair next to hers.“Marrying me isn’t so bad, you are free to do whatever you wish to do---““If this is freedom, then why was my phone confiscated?” She balled her hand into fist, and glared at him.Asher shut his eyes momentarily. “About that---“ He scratched the corner of his brows. “I didn’t want anything getting in the way of marrying you, who knew who would call you or who you would call that will aid your es
Olivia woke up the next morning and glanced at the bed where she lay only to discover it was empty, she looked around the room but it was also empty, she sat up from the bed and glanced towards the door.After Asher ran out from the room at noon, she was expecting him to return, but he didn’t show up, she had dinner brought to her room since she didn’t eat lunch, but due to her anger at Asher, she refused to ask the maid about Asher and she ate because she was hungry.She expected Asher to come back to the room because this was a single room in the hotel, but he didn’t show up, she got to her feet and walked over to the balcony, she glanced down to where she had tossed his phone.A sign escaped her lips when she saw some cleaners cleaning it up, she shook her head to push the guilt she felt aside. “He caused it, it’s all his fault.”She turned around to head back to the room but stopped when her eyes flickered to the place she had curled up at after Asher released her, a cold run down
Asher sat down next to the window of a classy restaurant with a cup of coffee in his hand as he sipped on it, he was dressed in a black suit, his long legs were covered in black trouser and his eyes held no expression as he stared out of the window towards the two couples by the beach.He curled his other hand into fist and his jaw were clenched, his brows furrowed when the lady leaned over to the man, linking arms with him and kissing him.It was Jane, his ex-girlfriend and Gray, after Olivia shattered his phone, he had left the house, informing the maid to tell her that he was going on a business trip, but he had come to find Jane.He lost her contact when Olivia tossed his phone down, unlike Olivia, he didn’t have her number on her mind, he couldn’t call Jane anymore, so he wanted to see for himself, and looking at Jane and Gray together, his blood boiled in his vein.He has been watching for three days now, he had seen Jane and Gray act like a lovey-dovey couple wherever they go,
