She got dressed in her pajamas and was about to climb on her bed when she recalled the noise she had heard from her parent's room.No one had called her for dinner, and although she was filled with eating dinner with Chloe, still she was disturbed by the feelings she had been getting ever since she got back.Olivia decided to head out of her room to check on her parents, if Lawrence hadn't called her, she would have heard what they were saying.She pushed her door open and walked out of her room, making her way to her parent's room. She knocked on the door and didn't hear a response, so she let herself in.Once she peered in, she saw her mother sitting on the bed sobbing and her father wasn't there.Olivia was shocked, as this was the first time she had ever seen her mother cry.She rushed over to her side. “Mom, what is wrong?” She quickly asked, a worried line appearing between her brows.Juliet glanced up, she hadn't expected Olivia to see her in this state, she quickly wiped off h

Olivia turned to her side on the bed, it was late afternoon yet she hadn’t eaten breakfast and has lost all appetite for a meal, she hadn’t answered any call from who had called her more than seven times. Her parents had also knocked on the door, yet she didn’t leave the room but called out from inside telling them that she wanted to be alone. She still thought of what she had been told last night, how she won’t be going back to Hawaii, how she won’t be able to complete her studies because of her father’s huge debt, and how they were going to leave this home she had grown up in. They had told her they would be moving to a country side, far from here, next to the oceans, a place with no modern job, perhaps she would become a fisher or a trader, her expensive life would be wash down the drain. She would be separated from Lawrence and from Chloe, it was going to be extremely lonely, yet that is the life they wanted her to live right now. She heard a knock on the door and turned to th

Olivia walked down the street with sadness surrounding her features, she didn’t know what to do or how to stop her family from moving, she had no job and all she had thought was how she would study and work at her father’s company, then inherit it one day.She sniffled, with no tears in her eyes, she spot a bench by the bus stop and strolled over to it, there she sat down and gazed at the road, watching different vehicle drive by.Her cell phone rang and she glanced down at the caller ID to see it was Lawrence, but she lets out a deep sigh and ignored the call.She wanted to tuck her cell phone in her trouser pocket, but the call came again and it was still from Lawrence, so she decided to take the call.“Olivia, where are you?” That was the first thing Lawrence asked when the call connected and the tears she had been holding back clustered in her eyes.“I don’t know.” She said softly, she had just walked out of the house and went in the direction her feet led her, also, it has been a

Right about time you called. He thought to himself.“Yes, this is he,” he paused his lips and his brows were raised slightly. “And to what do I owe this call?”There was a brief silence at the other side of the line, but the voice came again. “Let’s meet up.” Parker said out and Asher smirked.“I will give you the address.” He said and disconnected the call.He glanced at the number with a cold smile on his face, then h

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
