[Lucas]

"Where did you say she went to?" I asked Mrs. Helen.

"She said her grandmother sent for her."

After speaking with Mrs. Helen, I walked back upstairs; if her grandmother had sent for her, there could only be one reason. Mia had foolishly informed them about the video.

I had a very important project that required my full attention, and if it had not been for Olivia's constant calls in the middle of my meeting, I would not have returned. When I got some space, I called Mrs. Helen, who said Olivia was fine and had been with a friend earlier, so I relaxed.

But when her calls kept coming in, I needed to know if anything was wrong. But her phone was no longer connecting, so I went home, unaware that she had gone to Ventura.

I considered going over there, but I was not sure if my presence would be needed, so I opted to stay back.

I went straight to the washroom and took a warm, relaxing bath, which I had not had in two days due to work.

I stepped out of the bathtub in my bathrobe, I

    [Olivia]"What if I accept that? How will you repay me, given that it is not stated in the contract?" Lucas asked me.I looked directly into his eyes, wondering what I could offer him to entice him to help me."I do not have anything to offer you, Lucas; you are a thousand times wealthier than the Simpsons,” "Who said you didn't?" He looked at me, moving his gaze from my head to toe before coming to a halt at the opening of my dress, which revealed my cleavages."Is that exactly what you want?" I asked, drawing his gaze back to my face."What you were looking at, is that what you want? Then I am ready to give it to you. I lowered my face in shame."Olivia I have no idea what you are thinking or talking about; I have barely said anything; what is going on in your dirty mind?" He smirked at me and sat on the edge of his bed."You obviously responded with your eyes?" I rolled my eyes at him.I lowered my head and stood up, approaching him. His gaze followed me until I was very close to

    [Olivia]"Joan what did Joan say?"Joan repeated, "I said I met Kaleb Taylor.""K…Kaleb is still alive." I felt my throat dry, I felt a huge lump in my throat that refused to go down."What is that voice you are displaying?" Joan asked, jolting me out of my reverie."Do not tell me you still have feelings for him after seven years, Olivia!!!" Joan screamed my name, more like a warning.Can you ever get over a man who has stolen your heart? Is it really possible to let him go so easily? After seven years, the man who is the source of Mia's hatred for me returns unexpectedly."Olivia!!!"Are you there?" Joan screamed my name for the second time."Joan "I am fine, I think I need to go, we will talk tomorrow," I told her as I was about to hang up. Her last words echoed in my ear."Better get a hold of yourself, it has been seven years, he must have gotten a life after everything, so get a good night's sleep."I hung up the phone and tossed it to the other side of the bed; Kaleb was back, t

    [Olivia]Is that you, Olivia?" I heard a familiar voice from the direction of the door, I turned and saw the last person I expected to see. I turned to Joan who had the same confused expression as me.I watched her walk from the entrance to where Jaon and I were sitting; she looked very different from the last time I saw her. She wore a short gown that clung to her body, revealing her thighs and cleavages. Is this not too much?"Hi, Olivia," she said with a fake smile as she approached me and extended her hands to greet me.I extended my hands to greet her as well: "Hello, Felicia." I forced a smile and returned my attention to my phone, but she was obviously not ready to leave."Actually, I saw you walk in and have been looking for a way to speak with you; can I speak to you privately?" She asked, her gaze fixed on Joan, who sat beside me.Even if I wanted to stand up and go with her, Joan would never let me because she is not familiar with her or knows her well."I am sorry, but if

And I was right about it, macaroni and cheese; my heart skipped. I felt the hair on the back of my ear stand; did he prepare it for me?"What is funny, are you not going to heat it up and eat something?" His cold expression made it difficult for me to believe he thought of me."Did you make my dinner?" I asked, smiling at him. Why was he suddenly acting so sweet? His next response completely crushed me."Do I look like your housemaid? Miss. Helen prepared it before I dropped her off tonight, meanwhile, she said you have not been eating well, listen, this is advice from a friend or yo

    [Olivia]Lu…Luca!!!I yelled his name and rushed to where he was bent over.“Are…are you ok?” I placed my palm on his cheeks, it felt a bit hot, I was able to touch his face because he bent down, if not there was no way my hands could reach there. His height 6’2 has always intimidated me a lot, given that I'm just 5’4"Get.l…l…lost," he stuttered, clutching the couch tighter.How can I let him go when he is like this? What is wrong with him? Did I say anything wrong?I watched as he steadied himself and breathed in and out, looking beneath him and glaring daggers at me; his eyes, which had been clear just a few seconds before, turned bloodshot instantly."Luc…Lucas, what is wrong? You do not seem ok; are you sick?" He ignored me as he walked slowly upstairs, and I followed him slowly up to his room. I was attempting to reach him when he shut the door on my face, nearly hitting my forehead."Why does he become even colder when angry?" An idea suddenly occurred to me, and I decided to c

    [Lucas]"Meet me downstairs when you are done getting ready; we still have unfinished business," I yelled at her, and she turned to leave, jamming my door hard.I scoffed and turned to my laptop to continue working, my mind wandered back to last night. I felt so safe and warm in her arms, “Lucas!!” I shook my head in amusement as my inner mind was set to judge me againOn no account should I care about her or even consider moving in with her to persuade her family that our fake marriage was real. I wanted to say no, but there is something about her tears that I do not like seeing; I just sometimes feel like she was like a younger sister to me, because that is probably the only reason I am moved by her tears and do not want to make her feel bad.I closed my laptop and went over to the washroom. I was done in about ten minutes, I walked out of the washroom feeling fresh, I'm scheduled for an important meeting today and I needed to be there on time. I dried myself off, and dressed up in

    [Lucas]I parked in front of my second house, which is more like my private space; not every visitor is allowed in here, and I have a large number of guards to ensure the house's safety because it also houses many of my valuables.I walked down and headed for the entrance."Boss, you are here?" Mylo, one of my men, approached and took the briefcase in my hand before heading inside. Since I asked Felicia to move in, my men have provided me with information about her, from her walking out to her walking in.I nodded at him and walked in, immediately heading for the stairs, not having another moment of patience; I wanted to be in my baby's arms.My master bedroom is off-limits to anyone during my absence, so I pulled open the door to the room I assume she would be in.I carefully opened the door and looked around the room, but she was nowhere to be found. However, I knew she was there because her phone was on the bed, and I heard the shower splashing right then."Was she getting ready fo

    [Lucas]I walked slowly down the stairs, but I guess the universe was not on my side today; she noticed my presence and turned, something like fear flashing through her eyes, and she immediately disconnected the call, hiding the phone behind her back.I furrowed my brow at her and tended to ignore it. "Why did you end the call when you saw me?" I asked her."No..no, b..baby, why would I do that?" she stuttered. "We were done talking, and I was about to end it, but the sudden shadow behind me startled me," she said.With both hands firmly in my pockets, I arched an eyebrow and she smiled charmingly. "Baby, why did you follow me? Hold on, you are suspecting me," she asked.To avoid making her angry, I had to deny it: "I wasn't, I just wanted to get some water." With that, I walked past her and smiled back at her, even though the smiles did not quite reach my eyes.I walked down to the kitchen and went to the refrigerator, where I grabbed a bottle of chilled water and gulped it down.

    [Olivia]"You want to know exactly what I'm talking about right?" Lucas tossed the envelope to me, making me gulp down the sudden lump that grew in my throat, but no matter how much I did, it was stuck right there. What is going on? Why is he behaving this way? Did he in any way get access to the video? Why was he asking me who the father of the child was, if I said my heart wasn't leaving my body then I'm definitely joking"Are you going to keep staring at me like that or look at the god damned thing?" Lucas's harsh voice threw me out of my reverie, I didn't realize I was staring at him with my mouth wide open. I swallowed hard, turning my attention back to the envelope, my fingers trembling as I tried to put myself together but it wasn't working"I don't see the reason why you're tensing up!" Lucas's voice rang out again, I ignored him, pulling out the papers from the big envelope, I placed it down taking out one of the papers as I tried to make sense of what was written there. The

    [Lucas]"Go ahead baby what do you want to talk about?" I asked Olivia who pulled her hand from me reaching out for her bag, I stared at her as she took out an envelope from her bag, her hand paused and I could see how she was shivering slightly"Baby, is everything alright?" I asked her more like I pulled her out of her thoughts, she quickly put her bag away and turned towards me, a smile playing on her lips as she nodded in response"Everything is okay, but you need to see this!" Olivia handed me the envelope, I stared at her and back at the envelope before picking it from her hands. I had no idea what it was about but I guess I have to find outA few minutes ago, when I was sitting down in my car at the parking lot, I made up my mind to let Olivia know of the biggest secret I've kept from her, she deserves to know, I can't just keep such an important matter away from her. What if she finds out on her own, wouldn't that be selfish of me, what would she take me as? The best way was t

    [Olivia]I sat inside my bedroom, my heart thumping hard against my chest as I held onto the pregnancy result, my mind was in a complete mess, abortion? That's not an option, killing an innocent child I can't be so heartless to do that, I know it is still very little to notice, but I would be lying if I said I was not already in love with the little human growing inside meI gulped down as Joan's words from a few hours ago played back in my mind."Listen to me carefully, Olivia, you made the mistake of not informing your husband from the start, and I know how much you love Lucas, you will inform Lucas of the pregnancy, and when the baby is born, we will secretly run a DNA test, and even if it happens not to be Lucas's child, that's a secret you would have to take to your grave because there's no way Lucas would believe you now if you come open to him about what happened,"I can't even imagine telling him about the incident because firstly I lied to him about where I was going, I told

    [Olivia]My heart thumped hard against my chest as I stared at the sight before me, I was leaning on the bathtub, my mouth clutching over my mouth as I stared at the pregnancy test strip in front of me, since the moment I vomited from the smell of food four days ago in my office when Lucas brought food, I have been vomiting ever since. I finally felt the need to take a test because my period had been delayed for weeks. It's not the first time it's been delayed like this, but I felt compelled to check it, and here it is. I am pregnant."Olivia, are you not done?" Joan knocked at the door, we were in the guest bedroom downstairs, and I had locked myself in the bathroom. Staring at these results, my mind keeps drifting off in an unknown direction, placing so many thoughts in my head."Olivia!!!" Joan yelled at the door, pulling me out of my thoughts, I immediately flushed down the pee and washed my hand thoroughly, holding up the strip as I strode out the door. I turned the doorknob and

    [Lucas]Walking out of my doctor's office with the same report I have had over the past few years since my accident, staring down at the report, I had thought at least that my doctor would tell me that everything was okay now, I had been contemplating on how to tell Olivia about this, I wanted to come by for the last test to see if a miracle could happen before deciding on what to do next.It's been a week since we returned to Los Angeles, and I would say that loving Olivia has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. At times, I think back to when I was with Felicia, what I have with Olivia now is not comparable to what I had with her. With Felicia, it felt more like lust to me than love, overlooking her mistakes, begging her to be with me, her ghosting me and just coming back whenever she wanted, and I would open up my arms for her, thinking that was love, but it wasn't, it was just that I needed love and she was right there, and I did not mind her toxic love as long as I w

    [Olivia]I walked back into the house, Lucas had called me earlier that he was going to come home a bit late, I was a bit grateful that he was not home yet because of the state I was in right now, there is no way he would not know that something was wrong and I am fucking tired of lying to him, what the heck is all this temptation?I made my way to the sitting room, dropping my bag and my car key on the table. I plopped down onto the couch, burying my face in my palm as I sucked in my breath. The day was already messed up for me.My mind wandered back to the idea Joan brought up, would it be possible for it to happen before that three weeks? Joan had suggested that I give her the number the stranger texted me with, she has a friend who knows someone who can hack the number and trace whoever this person is; she said she would reach out to the guy as soon as possible to know what can be done, even when I can't tell if hacking the number will help muchIs it possible that we could find o

    [Olivia]"You should do what!!!" Joan asked, snatching the phone from my hand to take another look at the message, what kind of stupid option was that?I should get the hell out of Lucas' life. Are these the options?"Joan, hold on." I took the phone from her and immediately sent a message to the numberMe: [Can you elaborate more, get the hell out of whose life, you said you would message me this morning and I am just seeing your message, and as much as I do not want to sound disrespectful, your words are sounding weird.] I punched in the message and it was delivered, and in a matter of seconds, the number was typing backStranger: [You don't tell me when to message you, you are completely at my mercy right now, and all you should do is pay attention to me or else you will not like the other side of me, so my options are, you either divorce him and let go, you don't belong to him, it is either you file for divorce or you will have me sending these videos to him and you will still be

    [Olivia]We walked down the stairs with our bags. Grandma was downstairs, and my father had already returned, Usher and Mia were also present. We walked down and headed directly to the sitting room when my father's voice brought me out of my thoughts."Olivia, you okay?" He asked, and I batted my lashes as my gaze shifted to him, am I making it obvious that something is bothering me?"Yes, Dad, I am fine, just a little weak." I smiled at him and my eyes met Usher's, his eyes were fixed on me, I don't know if it was my imagination or if I had seen a smirk on his face, he averted his gaze and concentrated back on his laptop."You guys sure you don't want to stay a little longer?" Dad asked Lucas."We would love to, but we need to move, especially because of the distance to our workplace," Lucas replied. My gaze shifted to Mia as I attempted to read her facial expression, but she was preoccupied with the drama she was watching, could she be the one? Is she the one sending me the messages

    [Olivia]"Is everything okay?" Lucas asked me as I stared at him and then back to the pictures and messages on my phone. I pressed my lips together and took a slow deep breath."Olivia, are you okay?" He asked again and stood up, I can't let him see this, I have to do something"No, baby, don't worry, it's a picture from...from Joan, she just sent me some pictures," I spat out the first thing that came to mind, forcing a smile that I knew did not reach my eyes, and he sat back, his gaze still fixed on mine."Baby, it's nothing, she wanted to send her boyfriend a sexy picture, so she sent it to me to help her choose the one with a good posture, I did not expect her to do that, oh my God, Joan can be so silly!!" I chuckled and averted my eyes from him, if I keep staring at him, he might start seeing right through me that I am lying as fuck."You almost scared me, I thought something happened.""Not at all, baby." I was not looking at him anymore, rather I was walking towards the washroo
