Olivia Miller's POV
"Where are we going? I just took a day off because you said we have something important to do. Long drive is not important!" I frowned at him while folding my hands on my chest.
"We are not going for a long drive and this is important. I got an idea about your wardrobe when you came to meet me that night. I am sure you only have the loose, too casual, out of fashion dresses except for your work clothes. We need to change that. No one will believe that we are dating after seeing those grandma clothes. Your plan will fail even before you start." He said in a plain tone.
"My clothes are fine for me and everyone knows that. I might have a job with handsome salary, I might have some money saved up but that doesn't mean I will go around and waste them on fancy clothings whom I never might wear it again. Not happening!"
"Who said you are going to pay?"
"Oh really! Then who is going to pay? You? Are you some billionaire?"
"Not billionaire but millionaire. I still have a long way to go before I become billionaire with all the expenses I have."
"Then why are you paying for me?" He was only wasting his money on ridiculous things. That penthouse cost more than my yearly rent.
"Because becoming a billionaire and trying to maintain that position is not easy. I am not going to stop living my life just because I need to save up to become a billionaire. It's absurd." He parked his car outside of a very expensive designer's shop.
"I am telling you, they are going to have a beach wedding. We don't need these fancy clothes." I tried to convince him.
"No, beach wedding means we need to buy fashionable clothes. Casual clothes won't work there."
We both went inside the lavish shop and the stuffs were immediately there to help us. Alex went through rack after rack to chose dresses for her. "I don't wear dresses that much. What are you doing?"
"You need to change that. You changed yourself because of me. Imagine how convenient it will look like." He had a point but I don't want to do that. If I knew that I would do this, I would never have suggested that plan in the first place. The amount of clothes Alex was choosing surely made me feel dizzy but I literally fainted after I heard what he said.
"Now try all of them and show me. I will decide which one to buy."
I sighed in the changing room. He was sitting just outside on a sofa like a King and I was a model trying to sell him clothes. Last three dresses got a yes from him after nine rejected dresses. I was wearing a black very short dress and I did not want to go out. It was extremely provocative. Only a flimsy clothe was covering the front of my ladies, sides were exposed as well as the back. Two thin strings were holding the dress and connected it to the back with a cross.
It was too exposed for my likings and I knew he would like this dress and probably buy it. "Livi, come out. We only got three dresses so far." I sighed and came out of the changing room. He took a deep breath while looking at me. His intensity made me feel conscious.
"I know it's trendy but-"
"We are not taking that for the wedding." Alex interrupted me.
"Wait, what? I thought you will tell me to take it." I was not expecting that from him.
"I am very possessive about what belongs to me so there is no way I would let you wear that in front of other men. We can take it if you wear it only in front of me." He said with a smirk.
"Nope. Not happening." I shook my head while walking back inside the changing room.
After sixteen dresses and six additional party dresses to wear in the ceremony, he was finally satisfied. "Wear this one now. We are going to have lunch and we will click pictures of ours, in a way it will give everyone an impression that you are dating without them seeing my face."
He looked more prepared than me and it looked like it was his plan not mine. We had our lunch in a very well known restaurant. Before eating, he told me to relax and pose. He clicked few pictures of mine and some of them were me holding his hand. He selected three photos for me to post on my social media account. I wrote a cheesy caption saying 'Happiest only with him'. I was hopeless romantic and cheesy once upon a time.
We had our lunch and before parting ways, he said few more things for me to do. "She will call you when she see those photos. Don't receive it. Just text her that you are busy and you will call her later. We are going in one of my club so, be ready in the evening."
True to his words, Sarah kept calling me and I decided not to text her at all. After seven to eight continuous callings, she finally stopped and sent me a text. "Where are you? Call me as soon as you can."
I was sorting out the clothes on my cupboard and decided to answer her after that. Sarah seemed excited as she sent her multiple messages and as my best friend she should be excited. But the guilt was coming back with more force. I just texted her back saying that I would talk to her later and answer everything. I had to get ready for the club.
It felt like I was already dating him in reality and it was damn tiring. I wore a purple glittery sleeveless crop top and a black high-waisted short skirt. I remembered buying it with a colleague and she literally made me buy that. I never wore it before. Looked like most of the clothes in my wardrobe was literally forced on me.
I was low key thankful for that. I would not have anything to wear in the sudden events that started to crash in my life. I wore high boots to compliment my looks. He came to pick me up and in no time we were inside of one of his clubs. He did not take any risk and took us to a VIP booth. Sure, girls would jump on this playboy.
"We are here to have a good time and remember, we are going to be a team and friendship is the best thing a team can have. Though we are a bit ahead of friends but it will work." He said while poured us a drink.
We drank, danced together, laughed, joked, practically had a good time. He set his phone to click a photo of us where only our shape could be seen. I thought we would just pose or something but he had another idea.
He pulled me close and in no time he claimed my lips for a kiss. It happened too suddenly for me to react. He let me go after the clicking sound stopped. "How are you going to act like my girlfriend when you freeze every time I kiss you? Just relax, you can do it as you showed me some demo that night."
"Don't kiss me when I am not expecting it. I can't relax for that and it will look too artificial. That's why always inform me beforehand." I uploaded that photo with some red heart. We drank a bit after that. Girls were coming because apparently he was really famous among ladies.
I was giggling at his discomfort when my phone showed me that Sarah sent me a picture. It was some dark room with weird setting. We play this kind of game a lot. I would have to stare it for few seconds and when I blink, I would see something else in the picture. I was going to stare when Alex snatched my phone from my hands. I looked at him confusingly after he deleted that. "Never ever stare at anything she sends, got it?"
Olivia Miller's POVIt was super random and super weird for him to tell me not to stare at the picture. In fact, he looked too aggressive about some picture. My mind alerted me that something was wrong. "What do you mean by that? It's a game and we played it multiple times before as well.""Do you even know what was those pictures about?" He asked and I was a bit skeptical about his behavior. It was just a picture why he was behaving like that?"Well, mostly it's a beautiful bird or someone's face or some spooky things. Why are you asking me these things?" I asked while he looked angry."And you didn't even care to know what exactly are those pictures and let her control you." He tugged his hair. As if he did not lose me at all before, he made me more confused."Control me? What are you talking about? It's just a game." I said with a laugh, He was clearly messing with me. Or he was trying to manipulate me.He came close and leaned down over me. With his thumb, he caressed my lips whil
Olivia Miller's POVThe ringing bell made my heart leapt out of my body. My heart was beating too fast. I took deep breath and went to open the door but I realized that my hair was damp and I had the towel around my neck. I cursed and ran back to the washroom to put it down.After a series of ringing bells, I finally made it to my door and open it. I saw a worried Alex standing there. "Are you okay? I heard some tussle going on inside." He got inside and looked around for possible threats."Sorry, I was a bit distracted that's all. No worries." I gave him a fake smile. Great! I started it with this awkwardness. "Take a seat. Do you want to have some coffee? Or you want some alcohol. I have beer.""An Executive Officer only have beer in her house?" Alex said teasingly."Well, this executive officer do not like to waste her hard earn monry. I don't need a bar at my humble house." I said pointing around my small apartment."Well, this humble house is beautiful and warm just like you. I w
Olivia Miller's POVI was getting ready to go out with Alex. Whole day I was busy in the office but the flashes of the kiss kept distracting me. Something was wrong with me. We just kissed once but my mind was busy and making different scenarios. The kiss was very intense to make anyone crave for more but it was just a test. He kissed me suddenly and I was able to react naturally. He just praised me for the improvement and left.It didn't look so bad then but later when I thought about it, he literally treated me like a kid who deserved praising because he completed the homework. I would be honest, that wasn't acting. I was kissing him like a h*rny b!tch. If I treated him like my real boyfriend then things would be much easier. It would be in my head and I would break up with him after the whole act.I was proud of my scheming but I was skeptical because I knew he had the charming aura and it would be hard for me to break up. I shook my head. I had no choice, I would just guard my hea
Olivia Miller's POVAfter a fun night, I came back wishing to have a good night sleep. I was so sure that I would have a sound sleep because I was tired that I even didn't check my phone for any kind of distraction.I didn't remember what I was dreaming but a terrifying bright golden eyes forced me to get out of my sleep. I was sweating and cursing myself for the dream. I had goosebumps and the nightmare ruined the night for me. That's how I went from having a good night sleep to not having any sleep. I decided to do some work and research for my work. When I went to my job next morning, makeup barely hid my zombie look.I never had that much trouble with my work and I had an very easy day because I finished half of my work at night. Instead of having lunch, I dozed of in my cabin after locking it. I slept for an hour but I was again violently disturbed in my sleep. Those bright golden eyes turned red and blood curling scream followed it. I sighed and almost cried because my head was
Olivia Miller's POVWe only had three days to pack everything for the trip to Florida. I was obviously taking the dresses Alex bought for me but I also decided to take few casual clothes of mine.I was yet to do the packing because of the intense days I was spending in my office. I'd be gone for a week hence I needed to complete my next week works and few days extra work as well. What if something happens and I had to stay there for more than a week? I didn't want to burden my colleagues with all my works. I hadn't seen Alex after he took care of me and gave me that ring. I honestly forgot to ask him if it was a promise ring then what was he promising to me?It could be his family heirloom and he probably gave it to me cause of the act. I will give it back to him after a week when everything would be clear as water. Those days I was overworking. I could feel myself getting weak but our act needed my energy as well. I should be practicing with Alex but I had my face plastered on the fi
Olivia Miller's POVJust when I thought everything would go smoothly, another problem occurred. Sarah invited people who were already on Florida. Only Alex and I were going from outside of that place. She obviously didn't book anything for our stay when I had my parents house there.Alex had his family house there as well but he refused to stay there. It was still a mystery why he and his father suddenly left Florida when they were living there for years even the ancestors lived there. They just disappeared within thin air. He would probably return there after ages. I realized when he said that he was dropped out of college, he meant that he never got admitted himself again in any college after vanishing from there.I was taking him with me as my plus one so, it would look nice if I made him pay for his hotel room. But the hotel room prices were high in Florida and there was no way I would spend so much money that's why I talked to my mother and she was really happy to let us stay in
Olivia Miller's POVHe was not holding back! No, he was telling my parents story after story about how we met and what happened between us. He told them things that never happened between us but he was generous enough to actually mixed few things that actually happened.I was sitting there silently and literally memorizing everything he was saying so that I would not mess up later. It definitely was no longer my plan. He was completely prepared and those stories had elements that would make my parents swoon over him. As if I could never find a better guy than him."She is so careless. She really doesn't care about her health at all. She works long hours even over work sometimes without eating anything. If I tell her to take care of herself, she's like I am independent, I can take care of myself, you don't need to always babysit me. One day she was so sick still she went to work. When I asked her if she was okay when I heard her voice, she lied to me. Her condition was so bad but she d
Olivia Miller's POVI gathered myself together after a lot of deep breath and it was time for the show. Alex was carrying the bouquet that covered half of his face.Breakfast already started as I could hear the sounds of utensils. Murmurs, laughters and aroma of food were filled in the air. "We already started, where is Livi? Her boyfriend was supposed to come as well." I heard someone asking. Was it Sarah? It was too loud to understand."It's time." Alex said and we entered the backyard."They were supposed to be here by now. Oh look, there they are!"An immediate silence fell on the backyard. Everyone's eyes found us and a slow murmur started. I gave them a wide smile. "Hello everyone! It's nice to see you all again after years."Some smiled back at me. Some was trying to look at Alex. "Sarah! My bestie!" I went towards her and she gave me a smile before standing up from her chair.I hugged her tightly, not caring for the fancy dress she wore for a breakfast. She was the bride so sh
2 years later,"Ahh" I groaned while changing side, closing my eyes shut tightly. Alex wad immediately on my back trying to see my face. "What happened?" We were laying on his...our bed after the intimate session. Both were naked under the blanket. A year ago, he made me to move in with him. He begged actually."Nothing." I tried to keep my discomfort to myself but it's Alex.He made me lay on my back and asked again, "What's wrong?" He looked genuinely worried and I was drowning in the embarrassment. "Nothing. My stomach is hurting a little.""Why? You didn't have any of your fried nonsense today. You were fine." He stopped when he noticed me blushing red."Is...it because of me? Did I rock you world that hard?" A very proud smirk adorned his face."Shut up." I tried to get away from him but he caged me in his arms. I was unable to move and glared at him playfully. "Let me soak in my glory. Don't take it away from me or hide it from me.""Yeah, yeah. I am a little tired these day
Olivia Miller's POV "Will you marry me, Livi?"I looked at him dumbfounded. What was he saying and why? If he did that when we were dating, it would have make sense. I thought we would be together forever and get married few year later. But he broke my trust, broke my heart and then he dare to pull that proposal. "Say something, Livi? Do you not like the ring? Sarah took off with my precious family heirloom. So, my family didn't let me bring out another one. You will get all my family heirloom after we get married." The word vomit just kept coming out.I felt the people inside the house caught the entire scene and they all stood by the door. I almost heard Christina snorting. "Umm... Livi? my knee kinda hurts.""Of course, it hurts. Your poor knees can't hold up with your massive audacity. What the heck are you asking? Why would I marry a cheater like you? Why would you ask that when you know I have a boyfriend?"I had so much things going on my head and that idiot came with such r
Olivia Miller's POV I wasn't ready for it. "She killed her parents?" I almost scremed. I thought she sent them away but she literally killed them. I never thought she could do that to her own parents."They are not sure. She is nowhere to be found but the police think something happened to her as well because the condition of their house was not very good. There were small fire, there were ashes and the neighbours smelled something fishy like rotten things but they thought maybe it's the waste bin.""They were burnt?" "No, they say they been dead for a few days and their bodies already started to decompose. So yes, Sarah is in their hit list. We just had that breakfast with them and they were so excited about the wedding."so she performed her wich rituals on her parents as well. "Any news from Sierra?""Her friends are trying to contact. your dad saw their bodies and he said that the bodies are not recognizable. the police things there blood dried inside of their body that's why th
Olivia Miller's POV For the second time I got my consciousness back and saw myself at my home. It felt like whatever I witnessed in the woods were just a nightmare. I was on my bed all those time and never left the house.Mom didn't let that delusion stay for long. She was scolding for leaving the house when I was clearly sick and needed rest. She also offered the news that it was Leo who brought me home. Leo... not Alex.It left a bitter taste in my mouth and I vomited. We were supposed to celebrate Sarah's bachelorette night but I was laying on my bed, unable to comprehend Sarah was actually dealing with demons like a witch. She probably didn't have anyone to guide her and she just messed with those creatures without knowing the consequences. She was gone, I probably wouldn't even get to see her body for the last time. I spent the night crying over my best friend who didn't think of me as her best friend and a love that wouldn't get it's happy ending. All the insecurities, overwh
Olivia Miller's POVI knew he asked me to dress casual but a movie date that too for an ant man movie. He knew how to impress a woman and make her feel special but he arrenged it for me, the girl he supposedly desparately wanted to claim.My anger kept rising with every minute, looked like everyone was against the female lead. Just like my time was going against me. ALex was really enjoying the movie and laughing at the jokes but all I could think about was how I could kill him and how many ways I could dispose his body.But within minutes my anger left my body, as I felt my body burning. The room was cold but I felt like someone lit my body in fire. I clutched his hand and mumbled 'Alex'.His attention was instantly on me and he kept asking me what's wrong but I couldn't answer. My throat felt too dry to talk and slowly I lost my conscious.I had no idea how long I was out but I found myself in a hospital room with my parents around me. My mother was still in her nurse outfit like we
Olivia Miller's POVNothing was okay. Sarah has turned into a total bridezilla and now wants her bridesmaid to change their hair color along with the dresses because apparantly each bride maid would represent a flower.She told me to bleach my hair and choose a yellow dress to represent sunflower. I absolutely refused to do that. After a lot of consideration, I decided to dye my hair in midnight blue. I also needed some changes and the salon girl said it would look good on me. Sarah also approved because someone else wanted to be a blond and she didn't want a hair color to repeat.I came by myself because I didn't want to give Sarah a chance to comment on my hair because she was not trustable these days. What if she asked me to do a bizzere hairstyle just because she is the bride. I was not taking any chance. I love my hair too much to let anyone ruin it just because they are having a wedding.I was wondering what Sarah would do next, tell us to lose weight and be a certain weight? Bu
Olivia Millar's POV"Oh my, oh my! Alex!" I ran to him and crouched down to see his face. His face didn't gave anything away, he looked handsome as always. I checked his bodies to see if there were any injury but found nothing.I tapped his cheek and called his name but no response. At that point, I was panicking and fear gripped my heart. The thought of Something happening to Alex made my head spin. "He was fine but now... Mom, I need to call Mom." I murmured and got up to run towards the door but I was pulled back harshly and fell on the bed with something over me. That moment, I thought those creatures again attacked and did something to Alex. I closed my eyes in fear but the feather light touch on my forehead forced me to open my eyes. Alex was looking at me like he just saw the most beautiful girl in the world. "Alex." I touched his cheek softly. He closed his eyes and leaned. "You are fine. You... you..."He opened his eyes and smiled at me before diving down to kiss me sens
Olivia Millar's POVThe car collided with a tree but not much. Alex managed to save the car from any big impact. Because of that the car moved a lot and the impact felt a lot. I took a deep breath trying to calm my nerves down."Alex! You want us to die or what?""Women it's you! why were you hitting me like that?""Something is on the roof. It exactly felt like last night. They are here once again. I do not understand what I have done to them and why they targetting me?" I was beyond frustrated, afraid and losing my mind."Calm down, Livi. It's not them. They won't dare to come near you when I am here.""Why not? You are a God or know magic?" Why would they care about him in the first place. Yes, he knew things but that's not enough to stop those creatures from coming close to him."That's another secret for another time."I gaped at him, "There are more secrets? I am definitely going to lose my mind.""That's why I didn't want you to know anything but you wanted to play curious cat
Olivia Miller's POV"Hey, if we leave with Leo's car then how will he go back to his home?" I asked as Ales started the car without taking Leo with us. "Why should I care about that? He should have think about it before dragging you in that shithole."I rolled my eyes, "You heard him, it was me all alone. He saved me from whatever was out there. He said it's an animal but didn't mention what kind.""Oh yeah? We will talk about that as well along with other things. You are getting way disobedient. Did I not tell you to not get involve in this? Still you followed us and put yourself in danger once again.""What you gonna do? Punish me? Alex, we are too old for this high school cringe. Also, you left me alone after last night so I had to know what's going on. Are you regretting it or I was a bad lay? I do not have much experience..." He abruptly stooped the car as a deer ran infront of the car. "I am already mad, do not talk nosen
