[Olivia]

"Oh my sweetheart, I am sorry, tell me how I could forget you, you know it's not possible, I have just had a lot going on." I hugged Joan tightly, who had been giving me the silent treatment since I walked into her salon.

"Olivia, please stay as far away from me as you can. If someone had told me you could go a week without answering my calls or even calling me back, I would not have agreed." She snapped, still arranging her nail polishes.

I have become accustomed to closing work on time so that I can drive down to Ventura while the clouds are still bright and avoid traffic. It is currently 3 p.m., and I need to see my best friend before heading home.

"Mama, please don't do this to me. I said I am sorry. You know what, tell me what you want and which restaurant you want to go to now, and I will do as you say." I hit her spot; if there is something about Joan, bribe her with food and she is all yours.

"Is that some kind of bribe or what?" She bit her bottom lip, trying as hard

  • Marriage With The Billionaire    Chapter 38 - What the fuck is he doing here.

    [Olivia]My eyes snapped open, and I looked around trying to make sense of my surroundings and why I was lying in such a bright room, but the smell of antiseptics wafted through my nostrils, answering my questions.I felt a twinge of pain in my heart as I remembered what had happened. I could only remember Lucas taking Felicia's hand and running away, not even caring if I was in danger. I turned to the right side of the bed where I laid down, and it seemed so quiet.I could feel tears welling up at the corners of my eyes. I know he was trying to protect the love of his life, of course, everyone would, but he did not even turn back, and I watched him flay the scene like I never existed. It is not about over caring for me or not being his girlfriend, but is it not what a normal human who knew who I was should do and especially as a man too? At least look out since he saw me right there.The beeping sound of the door jolted me out of my trance, and Joan walked in, her head was bent low,

    [Lucas]I drove as fast as I could to the house when I mentally got myself and walked back to the scene, but Olivia or her friend was not there, I had dragged Felicia along immediately without even thinking or trying to look back. Felicia had almost fainted when she was last exposed to the sound of gunfire, and I was so eager to push her out of the scene that I selfishly did not even look back, I called Olivia's number for the umpteenth time and for God knows why it was not connecting.I was so happy that the traffic was not so bad, I even left Felicia on the way to find her way back to my house, even when she was trying to complain, I was certain I had brought her to a safer place where she could possibly board a taxi, I drove as fast as I could to Ventura, when I walked into Olivia's house, everyone was happily seated doing one of their activities, firstly her car was not parked outside, and I was just eager to know if she was inside or not, I walked straight upstairs but she was n

    [Olivia]Olivia, who is he?” Lucas asked me, making me turn towards him, what is he talking about?“Who is who?” "Olivia, do not act dumb; who is the guy who just left this place and was caressing your hair when I walked in?" I could see his jaw clenching as he asked, Is this guy okay? What gives him the right to ask me such a stupid question"And, given my current state, is that the question you should be asking me? Oh, my bad, I forgot you do not care whether I am alive or not." I rolled my eyes at him and looked out the window in the opposite direction.“Olivia…what….do you mean by that?” He stuttered, and I turned to face him, but he quickly avoided my gaze and looked away. Is his conscience dealing with him?"Tch…" I shook my head and looked away. I clenched my thighs together; I am really pressed; but why did it have to be me now? I would rather pee on myself than have him help me up."You have not eaten yet right?" He asked me, and I just ignored him; he should not be asking l

    [Olivia]What…exactly are…you talking about?” He stuttered. I glanced at him, and he averted his eyes from mine, rubbing his temples.“Oh please Lucas, don't act like you give an F about me, because you don't.” I snapped at him, my fingers glued to my keyboard, typing out emails to Deborah.He stood motionless, staring at me, his two hands in his pocket and his back against the wall opposite me. He definitely won't hear what he's inquisitive about from me, but he should just give me the same energy, so we can flow together meanwhile it's just two months until this whole shit is over.From my side view, I could see that he repeatedly opened his mouth to speak but closed it again. I mean nothing to him, which is why I am doing everything I can not to let him know I saw him, because his words may hurt more than the actual scene I withheld, so instead of attempting to use it to create an issue and then getting an, oh why should I turn and check if you are ok when I have a top priority I s

    [Olivia]Olivia, Kaleb,” I drew back and we both looked in the opposite direction to see Mia and Lucas staring at us, their eyes wide open.I removed my hands from Kaleb's neck and took two steps backward, my gaze fixed on my toes."Kaleb, Taylor." Mia called his name again; he ignored her and approached me, holding my chin and lifting my face, making our eyes meet."What is the problem, Livyana, and why are you behaving like you did something wrong?" Kaleb asked, and I stood motionless, staring at him."Of course she did." She definitely did something fucking wrong. Mia screamed."Mia Cara, shut the fuck up; I was not speaking to you, and do not ever raise your voice at Olivia again." Kaleb screamed at Mia; my eyes met hers, she gazed at me with a look of utter distaste, her lips pursed and her eyes scrunched up, I averted my gaze and turned to face Kaleb, who was staring at me."Livyana, please lead the way," Kaleb said, motioning for us to walk inside, but Lucas walked into the spa

    [Olivia]“And here comes the latest slut and boyfriend snatcher in town,” Mia snarled as she walked towards me, her features twisted in a bitter grimace, her lips pressing into a thin line.I really didn't want to deal with Mia right now, but my gaze drifted in her direction anyway. I shook my head as I turned and continued walking down the hallway, but she would not stop spitting trash."Olivia, are not you fucking ashamed of yourself? You whore." Mia thundered.I tightened my fist and closed my eyes, doing everything I could to ignore her and keep walking, but her irritating voice would not let me, it's about time I start putting this girl in her place. I turned to face her, my eyes narrowing and my jaw clenched in anger."Mia, what is wrong with you? Can you fucking stay off my back? What kind of human are you? What planet did you drop from? "Stay off your back, Olivia?" She held her abdomen with her left hand and placed her right hand on the wall, laughing hysterically. Her laugh

I felt my throat dry, as if I had a large lump in my throat that refused to go down."It is not what I think, okay, I am listening, you have said this statement countless times, so fucking tell me what I think!" He roared."Kaleb, you need to relax a little in order to understand me. It's a long story."I am as calm as ever, Olivia; speak up, I am listening, because I really want to understand why the fuck I had to hear from someone else that you are married, I know we haven't spend much time together, but your body language was not telling me you were married, and you could have mentioned it atlest, hold on, was that the reason you flatly refused when I said I would be visiting your house?

    [Lucas]It was almost 9 p.m., I had dialed Olivia's number countless times, but she was not picking up her call, how the fuck did she even leave this house without letting me know her whereabouts, and she is still outside up until this time, her cousin sisters asked about her whereabouts before they left, and I was initially confused, I had to look for her but noticed she was not anywhere near this house, I just had to say she told me something came up and she needed to rush outI did not see Kaleb around either, could she have left with him? What the fuck is going on, I was startled out of my reverie when I heard a knock on the door. I only hope her father has not noticed her absence, because I am not even sure how to defend her at this point. I stood still, thinking about whether or not to answer the door, I slowly walked towards the door and I slowly pulled it open, Usher stood at the door, with smiles all over his face."Hey man, is she not back yet?" Usher asked as he pushed the

    [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

  • Marriage With The Billionaire    Chapter 105 - Pregnant

    [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."
