[Olivia]If you choose not to respond, that's fine, but I am curious as to why she believes she can not spend the rest of her life with you. And she mentioned this when I first met her at your house, and she said I'll run out of this marriage once i find out. if you don't mind, can I know what she meant by that?" I asked Lucas, who stared deep into my eyes."It's nothing, Olivia, don't mind that hypocrite." He spoke with his eyes fixed on mine, his expression polished and practiced, but I could not detect a glimmer of authenticity behind it, perhaps it's just something he can not talk about."It's fine," I forced a smile as a knock came on the door, and I walked towards it, pulling it open."Oh Tina, I almost forgot about the food, please come in," I urged her, and she walked in with the tray of food; I followed behind her as she dropped it on the table."I will take my leave, ma. If you need anything, please let me know." Tina said as she walked out, slowly closing the door behind he
[Olivia]Did I fall into Felicia's trap?Panic set in when I realized I was being dragged away from the safety of the open beach. I tried to kick out with my free leg, but the grip was too strong. "Who...who the fuck...?" I tried to hold onto the slipping sand with my voice cutting in my throat, but the pain in my head prevented me from raising my head.Adrenaline rushed through me as I twisted and turned in an attempt to break free from the attacker's tight grip. My ankle throbbed, but I was not going to give up even though it felt like more than two people were pulling my legs.Just as I thought I was about to be overpowered, with my heart pounding in my chest like it was going to reap off, I wriggled my feet forcefully and the hand freed me. I scrambled to my feet immediately and took off in a sprint, making sure not to lose my bag and car key, which I had clutched so tightly while the hand was dragging me.My heart was racing, and my breathing came in ragged gasps. I could hear th
[Olivia]"What is the problem Olivia" Lucas asked, as his blue orbs fixed on mine, I opened my mouth to talk but shut it back, I closed my eyes as I took a deep breath, who is after me? What have I done?The phone in my hand loosened, and I opened my eyes to see Lucas holding the phone, his brow knitted together.Lucas read the words aloud and furrowed his brow at me. "Let us hope you get lucky next time to run off like you just did.""Check the first message," I muttered, barely audible. He locked his gaze on me before turning to the phone and reading out the first message I received."What actually happened, and what does this person mean by this?" He asked, and I shook my head; I needed to lay down, and I did not want to talk about it tonight, I just hope he understands."Come here," he held me as he slowly tucked me into the bed and covered me with the duvet, "I will ask the maid to get you a hot chocolate tea," he said, and I nodded as I turned over to the other side of the bed,
[Olivia]]"When did you start excusing yourself to take calls and why did you flip it over when it rang? What are you hiding?" I asked Kaleb and he stepped back and slipped his phone back to his pocket."Swedi, what do you mean? Come here," he said, drawing me closer, but I backed away and stared into his eyes."What are you hiding?" And why are you excusing yourself? Am I now a stranger that you can not take calls in my presence?" Kalebs expression turned calm, his voice even. "It's just about work, baby, what could I possibly hide from you? I will be right back."I raised my brow at him, my gaze intense. "About work, At this hour, on a Saturday? Meanwhile, you stated that you were not going to work for your father's company, and you only have companies in Canada where you returned from, so may I ask what work you are referring to? I furrowed my brow at him."Baby, I have to respond to them when they need my attention even if I am not there in person."I searched his face for signs
[Lucas]"Are you serious about what you said earlier?" Usher asked from the passangers seat, as we drove to watch a football game."Absolutely, if I had not seen the message myself and the bruises on her body, I would think she was lying."That explains why she has been indoors for a while now, I have noticed she does not leave the house very often these days, so what are you planning to do about it?" Usher asked"I have one person in mind, and I am tracking her for the time being, I have not received any response from my men, but if she has a hand in it, she will undoubtedly regret it." My jaw tightened as I gripped the steering wheel. Felicia, I hope it is not you, because if you are behind this, I swear you will pay."Who are you suspecting?" Usher's question interrupted my thoughts.We headed toward the parking lot as I did a U-turn and said, "Just a formal friend of mine who I had a fall out with, but not to worry, I will make sure my men leave no stone unturned, I will definitel
[Lucas]She suddenly pushed me inside the room and slammed the door behind her. My gaze shifted to her right hand as she raised it, revealing a leather paddle and a pair of handcuffs, their metal gleaming ominously. I stared back into her eyes, and my heart began to race."What the hell is this Mia?" I demanded my voice tight with fustration."Hey, don't act like you don't know what's going on here," she bit her bottom lip while twirling her finger through her blonde hair."I'm asking you again, what the hell is this? And what are you doing in here with this trash?" I fixed my gaze on her, and she let the items fall from her grasp and landed on the floor."Lucas, I know you were just dominating back then for fun and not actually who you are" she said her voice low and sultry, filled with a mix of desire and challenge. "Even though I hate to admit it, I have never had anyone who forced me to submit and gave it to me with the intensity that you did. How about we have some fun tonight?"
[Olivia]I hopped into my car, it was currently 2 pm as I drove to Joan's salon, I couldn't stop glancing at my phone, did Lucas get tired already on checking up on me? "Tch...." I scoffed as I packed in front of Joan's salon and glanced at my phone for the last time. I swiped up to my wh*****p to see if he had left a message, perhaps he's just too busy to call, but there was no message from him either. Well, whatever, or should I just call him? No, I wont, he is supposed to be checking up on me. Or was it because I told him to stop checking up on me every now and then, is this the reason why he hasn't called me?Not that I did not like how he was calling, but I just could not tell him. Wait... Hold on. What exactly is wrong with me? Olivia, are you sick? I felt my forehead with my hand. Why are you getting so worked up about Lucas again? I should be concerned because of Kaleb, not Lucas.I shook my head as I stepped out of my car, heading towards Joan's salon. I pushed the glass do
[Lucas]I woke up, my eyes still closed, it suddenly felt so heavy to open my eyes, I groggily opened them and was met with unfamiliar ceiling. The harsh light above stung my eyes. Making the pains I felt in my head worse. As I struggled to remember what happened panic started to creep in, I looked down at my hands and I was fixed on a drip, I trailed my hands towards my head, and I knitted my brow as it suddenly felt like I had been in this same position before, with bandages on my head.I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain struck through my head, forcing me back onto the pillow. My thoughts were disjointed, and I felt lost; my gaze darted to the door as it swung open, revealing two familiar faces.Usher, Olivia, What are they doing here?What exactly happened? I shut my eyes as my mind suddenly wandered back to what happened, my eyes snapped open as the reality of what might happen or be revealed dawned on me."Lucas, you're awake," Olivia came up to my bedside and held my hand, her
[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
