Olivia rolled and rolled on her bed in boredom .It's her first night and first time in such a large room and big bed but she just couldn't bring herself to sleep .She rose up from the bed and checked the time on her cellphone .12 midnight! Christopher is probably asleep so she is free enough to look around the house until she feels sleeping .She tiptoed gently ,the lights were all switched off so she contemplated switching it on but that might wake him up so she decided to just walk around in darkness .She walked into the sitting room but stood frozen when she saw a figure sitting on the chair.A ghost ? Or is it a thief ? She tiptoed gently towards the chair and grabbed the person by the neck .Christopher grabbed the fragile hand that held neck and twisted it then he heard a little yelp of pain .He quickly rushed over to see Olivia crying with pain on the floor ." What the heck are you doing at this time ?" He yelled holding onto her her twisted hand blowing on it ." Wai
Christopher woke up wondering about what happened last night .He still doesn't understand what he did to upset her.He stood up gently from his bed and picked up his phone from the table beside his bed and dialled David's number ." Hey man ! Good morning ,how is the honeymoon going ?" David's always excited voice greeted but Christopher isn't just in the mood for his jokes .He needs to know why Olivia is mad at him and that's why he called ." She's mad at me " he replied ignoring his friend's greetings ." Who is mad at you ?" David asked confused ." Olivia ...." He replied and regretted it instantly ,he knows his friend is going to surely tease me about it ." You guys are having fights already ? Come on ,I taught you better than this Christopher Andrews ". David said mocking his friend who didn't miss out the sarcasm in his remark ." Stop joking around David ....I don't even know what I did to upset her ". Christopher replied surprising David who is so shocked at how desperat
" Sorry ...sorry ..." Olivia pleaded rushing up with her face flushing with embarrassment.Christopher stood up gently from the floor and smiled ." You got what you want ,are you happy now ?" " What I want ? What do you mean by that ?" Olivia asked and rolled her eyes at him shyly. " Kissing this handsome man in front of you " Christopher replied proudly making Olivia choke on her saliva .She can't possibly let him tease her and get away with it just like that so it's only right she says something in her own defense. " Kiss? Come on Christopher that wasn't a kiss we just bumped into each other " she replied swallowing how she originally feels about what happened. " What ?.... Bump into each other ? Really?" .Olivia threw him a fake smile and walked back into her room triumphantly .***********Two days later ........" Mum we are returning back home today "." Your honeymoon is over ? Isn't that too soon ?" ." Christopher has to return back to work tomorrow ,he has a lot a to
" What are you doing here ?" Christopher finally asked not sure how he's feeling." That's not a pleasant way to welcome someone you haven't seen for years chris .." Evelyn replied still clinging onto his clothes ." It's better you leave now Eve....." Christopher replied biting his tongue as the idea of calling her name after all these years gave him an eerie feeling." Why ? Why should I leave ?" She asked ." Because I'm ....."" He's married and we just came from our honeymoon and we won't be needing the presence of a stranger ". Olivia replied cutting Christopher off .She doesn't know who this godforsaken woman is but she knows they definitely won't get along .For these six months she'll have to play as Christopher's wife she might as well just play the role well.Evelyn scoffed at the remarks of this woman who stole her man .A stranger ? No ! " Chris do you really think I'm a ....." " You heard her ,we need our privacy and we don't want a stranger! to be around " .Evelyn
Honeymoon holiday is over and Christopher decided to resume back to work ." Have breakfast before leaving " olivia said rushing over to bring him tea and sandwiches like normal couples do ." yes ma'am " christopher replied .Ever since that day Evelyn had showed up they have become closer ,and their honeymoon became fun although each of them still sleeps in different rooms .Olivia knows she has started to fall for this stranger and knows it all has to stop after 6 months while christohi just loves this new bond they have .**************" You did all that with olivia ?" David yelled unbelievably .His workaholic and cold friend went out for karaoke , night walks and even sauna with Olivia? There's definitely nothing love cannot do to a man ...." Why do you sound so surprised ?" Christopher asked glaring at his friend who looks like he's teasing him ." It's just so unbelievable and surprising ! You would never do that even with me " .Christopher noticed a pinch of jealousy i
Chapter 19 " Hi David ,hi Chris " Evelyn greeted walking over to seat beside David opposite Christopher . " My name is Christopher and you'll refer to me as Mr Christopher because we are in a working environment ...and you'll only seat when I ask you to " . Christopher replied glaring at her as she tried sitting but paused halfway after his statement . " Come on chris ....I mean Mr Christopher ,don't be so petty ". Evelyn replied shocked at Christopher's attitude although she acted it so well that no one noticed . David watched the scene amusedly . " Why are you here ?" . Christopher asked ignoring whatever she said . " Can I at least sit ?" " Miss Evelyn why are you here ?". Christopher asked again . " Can I talk to you alone then ? ". Evelyn asked staring at David who already got the hint . It's time to leave ..... " If you cannot say why you are here in front of David then you can leave ". Christopher replied rudely. " I have files to attend to in my office ....so
Evelyn got back home annoyed and irritated , how could christopher treat her like that ? .It's all because of that woman he married .If getting rid of that witch he got married to is the only way to get him back then she'll definitely do it .*************" Hi mum " Olivia greeted smiling excitedly immediately she got to her mother's restaurant .After paying their house rent with the half payment she got for her contract married and adding some touches to their eatery it is now worthy to be called a restaurant." My dear daughter " her mother yelled and pulled her into a hug .They both settled down on a seat as Olivia looked around thinking about how much she missed working at the restaurant , delivering food to their customers and working side by side with her mother ." How's Christopher ?" " He's doing great ! ,He's busy at the office which is why he couldnt come with me but He sends his greetings and he promised to come greet you whenever he's free ". Olivia lied .She di
Olivia headed back home after she had spent enough time with her mother and her friend .She now has a chaffeur and a personal car to herself ,this is definitely the kind of life she never expected to live ....at least not too soon .She noticed Christopher's car was already parked when she got into the house .She opened the door gently and met him sitting on the sofa his back turned at her ." Hi " she greeted and got no response .She wonders if he's mad at her for leaving the house without telling him .She walked to where he's sitting and he finally turned to face her ." I'm sorry I left the house without informing ....." " Where did you go to ?" Christopher asked cutting her off .She felts chills running down her spine with how cold he sounded. " I went over to my mum's place , the house felt boring and I have missed her ,we haven't seen each other since the wedding and I'm not used to that .... I'm sorry I left without informing you ". Immediately she said that she felt hi
