Oliv pov “Where did you sleep last night” I froze on the spot,feeling as if I was going to be strangled,he just stare at me without saying any thing, after giving the funny look,he stormed out. I grabbed one of the glass cup and crashed It on the floor. That pompous jerk! How dare he make a jest of me like that? I pulled out my phone and dialed the media manager number. “Give me the list of names of people that visited Gray yesterday,including the footage.” “Can you tell me who this is.” The manager acquired. “The fiancée to Mr Gray.” I replied angrily. “Miss,I’m sorry but Mr Gray could have informed you that the arrival and installation of CCTV will be carried out on Saturday. We don’t have any cameras yet,we are still busy with a lot work.” I yelled and crashed my phone on the floor,out of frustration. That jerk thinks he can make me lose my cool, what was I doing differently? Nothing was adding up. I needed to stop trying to show myself and try acting pathetic,I need hi
Lena pov Do I really want to do this with Gray again?what if I get pregnant again”No”. Gray and I are stranger to each other maybe for now but it will be irresponsible of me to get pregnant again,especially when he hasn’t know he always have a son. I hurried outside in preparation for the painting. I entered a drugstore and purchased a morning after pill and a bottle of water. Gray kicked the tablets from my hand as I was ready to consume them. “How in the world,did you know I was here? What the fuck are you doing here?” “What do you think you are doing?” Gray inquired. “What does it look like I’m doing?Do you want me to become pregnant yet again?Are you serious?” I replied not sure what I just spilled out. “Do you intend to murder my child? What do you mean by”pregnant yet again? Do we already have a child together?” Gray asked furiously. “I would have not gotten pregnant that year if I had knew about this pill,so please leave me alone.” I took the pill from him and gulped it
Lena pov The next morning,upon realizing that I was in a strange bed, I sprung out the bed,checked the time,decided to take a bath,and I proceeded down stairs, where I was welcomed by Leo. “Good morning,” Leo said. “I’m really sorry I overslept last night, I was too exhausted and I needed the sleep so badly.” “It’s really okay,I’m glad you had enough rest. Can I ask you something about your child.” Leo said glancing at me. I got worried for a minute but decided to stay calm and listen. “ Sure,what about him.” I asked “Tell me about his father,have noticed you don’t mention his father names,did something happen between you two? Did he abandon you? Because if he abandoned you then it’s his lost because you are good woman.” “Our issues is kinda complicated,I waited for him to make things right,he never did,I found out I was pregnant with Garry three months after leaving New York, I was still hoping that he would come looking for me,only for me to watch him engaged on the t
Gray pov Throughout the session Lena and her staff were working here, she pretended not to recognize me and addressed me with “Mr Gray.” She never ceases to amaze me, could it be that she is still enraged about what occurred? I believe I could handle the cold Lena, what does she like?i had no idea what the woman I love likes, she is the lady I intended to marry and I have zero knowledge of what she likes.The mother of my kids, whom I have just spat all over due to my anxieties. Perhaps I should contact her and enquire about my boy. I was sitting in my office that very night, I wasn't at peace, I prayed Lena really had a child for me, Chris came with some hospital report, she had my child in this hospital, my boy, I am a father. I wouldn't hold my excitement that day that I almost hugged Chri. But I don't why she's still keeping him away from me. I couldn't wait for her to introduce my son to me, I had to go to his school and meet him. He looks like me, I don't need any DNA to
Lena pov When I glanced at him, the angry jerk in me had vanished. I inhaled the flowers and gazed at him. I wanted to express my gratitude,but my body wanted more, my body always wants more whenever I am with this man. I extended my hand and kissed him on the lips. “Im grateful, Mr Gray. Naturally, I wanted him to kiss me and therefore provoked him. He just curled his bottom lips and smiled. This man is such a big baby. He gasped loudly and said, “ Right now, my life is a mess,i’d want to ask for your patience while I attempt to clean up the mess I caused.” He grabbed my hand in his and cupped me with the other. I'm aware that what I am asking may be too much, but I do need you to grant me more time to work things out with Oliv. There is nothing to amend between Oliv and I but I ask for your patience. I understand that what I may be asking is hard, but could you just do it for me, Garry and us?”Seeing how serious he was in his manner of ensuring me that he was making effort,
Olive Pov I was in my hotel suite dressing, reading through a magazine with a fashionable wedding gown. I need to get the best wedding dress, after all, I am not just marrying a nobody. The gown has to be more costly than Funke Dairy, perhaps I should employ the same designer. I woke from my dream as the thought of Gray occupied my mind. He hasn't really said anything about our wedding, and he has changed so much since he got here, why was the project here in Creek taking so much, he should be done by now, why does he even have to be here when his staff can literally take care of everything. I couldn't wrap my head around it, I needed answers. I got dressed and matched to Gray suite. I kept knocking without any response. “Miss Oliv, Mr Gray has moved to his new house, he doesn't stay here anymore.” one of the media said. “Gray bought a house, here in Creek? Can I have the address?” He couldn't argue not giving me the address, I can't believe what I just heard. Gray already b
Lena pov I earlier got a text that my present was needed at Sunny media, I knew it wasn't from the manager and the person who contacted me claimed that I needed to come recheck some design. I went out of my way to put on some lingerie and a long coat, put on some heels, climbed into the my vehicle, and drove to the company. I walked up to the receptionist and didn't have to introduce myself because literally everyone already knew who I was here, I followed the lady instructions as I asked for Gray's office. I rode the elevator all the way up to the top floor. The last floor was very peaceful, and with just a cracking of a penny audible. I saw a lady entering Gray office, the only thing that could be heard on floor was my heels. When she shut the door, I waited a little longer redressing myself and I knocked, I heard someone say” come in. When I went in, her illusion were crushed. Could it be possible that this lady was Oliv? Gray was taken aback, he wasn't expecting to me and
Lena pov I sent Gray a text message,he didn’t spend any time before responding,he responded with the address in the text. I had previously moved in when Gray hasn’t returned. The workers refused to let me in,but when they heard Garry called me”mother,they couldn’t argue with that. One helper showed me to Gray room,and I put my belongings in the closet. I went to the kitchen and asked the chef to if she could allow me cook for today,she wasn’t cool with it at first,feared that Gray might find if offensive but I promised her that nothing was going to happen. I could sensed that the woman was exhausted,so she left me to cook,with her help, I readied the dining table. Garry wasn’t quite ready,he had engrossed himself with video game,I didn’t want to distract him either because I wanted us to wait for Gray. Just then I heard a vehicle drove in,I knew that must be Gray. I called for Garry,as he rushed downstairs, Garry rushed in and snatched his seat. The door opened with a click,it was
Lena paced back and forth in her room,her phone pressed to her ear. The line crackled with static, and Larry voice, distant and muffled,barely reached her. “Larry,can you hear me? What is the update? I waited for your call yesterday since you said you were going to call. “Yeah yeah,Lena. I’m on it. I was going to call you yesterday but something came up, my guys suggested we hang out with some hot chick, I came home pretty wasted. Anyways, I just got a lead. But I need to ask you something, thought you said you only have one child?” Lena sighed,” yes,why?” She asked her voice almost a whisper. “Because according to my source,it was two kids that was taken that day,then we kept digging. Some guy named..what’s his name? Oh, right, Jack. Jack something, I don't really give much fuck about his name though. According to him, a lady came to rent the van from his shop, she claimed she needed it to pack her things because she was relocating. We've has been trying to track the lady but
The silence was deafening. Lena and her husband, once inseparable, sat across from each other at the dining table, a chasm of unspoken words separating them. The soft glow of the chandelier cast long, eerie shadows on the walls, mirroring the darkness that had crept into their relationship. Lena gazed was fixed on her plate, the untouched meal a stark reflection of her turmoil. Her heart ached with a mix of regret and longing. She missed the days when laughter filled their home, when their love was a beacon of warmth and comfort. The ticking of the clock on the wall seemed to amplify the silence, each tick a painful reminder of the time slipping away. They had once shared dreams, hopes, and aspirations. Now, it felt like they were strangers, living under the same roof. Gray,equally lost in thought, kept stealing glance at her. He couldn’t figure why she was so angry at him,he blamed himself for getting drunk that day, all this incident could have been avoided. They finished thei
The morning sun streamed through the window, casting a warm glow on Oliv face. She sipped her water, her gaze fixed on the bustling bush outside the window. Yesterdays conversation with Sebastian replayed I her mind, his words stinging like a fresh wound. His sharp tone, his sarcastic words- it had caught her off guard. She thought she'd finally meet someone that will love her without judging her, shed always admired his quick wit and a d easy charm, but yesterday, he’d shown a side of him, to even think it was not his time of saying that to her. Emily glanced at the entrance, her heart pounding. She was hearing Sebastian's voice, he was probably heading in her direction, she wasn't prepared to face him. Instead, she buried herself in her water, pretending to be lost in thought. She could feel his presence, the weight of his eyes on her, but she refused to look up. She wanted to avoid the awkwardness, the tension, the possibility of another bitter truth from him. “The kids w
The stale air of the basement hung heavy, thick with the scent of fear and dust. Oliv,her heart a leaden of weight, shuffled forward with a tray of untouched sandwiches. The children, huddled together like a frightened birds,met her gaze with defiance. “Come on, now," she said , her voice barely a whisper. "You need to eat. You haven't had anything since..." She trailed off, the memory of their terrified faces when she'd first dragged them down here too painful to bear. “We don’t like this place, we want to go home.” Garry said his voice barely a whisper. Silence stretched between them, the only sound the ticking of an old grandfather clock in the corner. The sandwiches sat untouched, a stark contrast to the emptiness in their hollowed eyes. “You will soon go home, your dad is only making this complicated,trading your life for wealth, is it even worth it?” Oliv sighed.” You will have to eat something,please just have a bite. It will break your mom heart to see you weak,you need
Theo hung up the phone, his heart pounding to his chest. The image of his parents rushing into the operating room flash before his eyes. He couldn't what he'd just heard. Gray knew all these years and kept it from him, his dad was involved. How could he be responsible for his own brothers' deaths? The thought was almost unbearable. Anger surged through him, a hot, consuming fire. He clenched his fists, nails digging into his palms. How could someone so cold, so calculating, be capable of such a heinous act? He'd always seen Gray's dad as a pillar of the community, a successful businessman with a seemingly perfect life. But now, Theo saw a different side of him, a darker, more sinister side. And Gray kept this away from him, was he covering up his father's evil deed? Was he in support? Leo stormed out of his room, his mind racing. He needed to confront Gray, to demand answers. He found Gray in his studying room, lost in thought. Gray looked up, his expression puzzled. “What's
Leo pov I was unsettled, pacing around in his room, Gray was singing the papers today. That shit was supposed to be mine, he was supposed to be handing everything to me today but that old fool decided to outplay and outsmart me. He won't be in that office for long, I will do destroy him. My thought was cut short with call from Peter. “How did it go? Has the papers been signed?” I asked. “No, it was a terrible event.” Peter replied. “What do you mean?” “Old man got pissed,punched Gray on the face, Gray got angry and his men killed almost all old man men. Gray said he had to see his son before any ownership will be transferred.” Peter explained. “And?” I asked “There was no sign of Garry after much wait, only for Sebastian to rush in with bruises that he was ambushed. Guess, old man also have someone that is watching him.” Peter replied. I scoffed,” this is good news,” I said letting out a cold smiling, “at least,no papers were signed and I am sure Gray won’t that s
Leo glanced at his reflection in the bathroom mirror. His face, once a mask of confidence, was now marred with bruise and cuts. Peter and some men had injured him badly on the day of Lena escape. He couldn’t believe Peter could betrayal him like that,he trusted him,he could vow for him but he got it all wrong. After all,everything was survival of the defeated. He decided to go into hiding since they couldn’t kill him that night. ** Flash back to that night. “But boss said we should kill him and come with his head.” One of the men said,his voice barely audible. “I know and I telling you to give me some time, I have been with this man for a while, it won’t be easy for me to just kill him but , I promise to kill him.” Peter replied. “Remember we don’t have much time and you definitely know boss temper. “ another replied yelling out. Leo eavesdrop on their conversations,tears rolled down his cheeks. They were going to kill him,what about his daughter? How will she survive? Who w
Today was the day that Gray had promised to bring Garry back home. Lena paced back and forth, her anxious eyes scanning through the mansion. Her heart pounded in her chest, a restless drumbeat echoing the worry gnawing at her. What is keeping Gray, they should be here by now?” A familiar rumble broke the silence. The engine low growl signaled his return. Lena face lit up with hope. She rushed to the gate,her hand trembling as she watched the car drive in. The car pulled into the driveway, it’s headlights illuminating Gray weary face. Lena smiled faltered as she noticed the absence of their son. Gray stepped out of the car, his shoulders slumped,followed by Theo and Chris. They slightly bowed their head, greeting Lena as they walked passed them. “Where is Garry? her voice, a mere whisper. “Hes…still with Mr Thompson”, he lied, his voice barely audible. Lena's heart sank. Anger, disappointment and fear swirled within her. “ How could this happen? Why ain't you here with ou
As old man men kept falling, a silence descended upon the warehouse. “ I said,fucking make them stop.” Old man yelled out. Gray laughed,” why? Thought this was what you wanted.” He teased. “Fair enough then,” he yelled.” You should be expecting your son’s body if you don’t make them stop this moment.” Gray stared at his men, more like they were enjoying the killing, he signaled Theo to make everyone stop. The place became quite after everyone was calmed. Gary stepped forward,his face a mask of indifference.” Don’t you think it’s over?this is just a signal that you are no match for me. Why can’t you behave like your age,I won’t warn you to trade carefully again.” Gray said his voice barely a whisper. “The game is up, don’t get ahead of yourself.” Old man replied his cutting through the silence. Gray laughed, readjusted his suit as he sit.”why are you just standing there? Call your men,tell them they are wasting my fucking time.” “Why not sign the papers and I will have your
