Chapter 23Drew and Alex's meeting looked very serious, Alex came to Drew's place to discuss this important issue. Alex wasn't surprised when he heard Drew's complaints about his new work partner, but Alex just didn't expect Billy to show his colors so quickly."I shouldn't risk my good name just to help you, what if everything fails and what I've built all this time just gets destroyed? I don't know what's going on between you and Billy, but if it's a personal matter I don't want to get involved," Drew said."Relax, this plan will not destroy what you have achieved so far, if this project is destroyed, I will help you get out of trouble, and this is not because of personal problems, but I have to show him who he is facing, he came to me as a father and suddenly talked about the project as if he wanted it," Alex said."But Alex, if that's true, then they will also question my credibility in this job and the reason I changed my partner, they will think I'm the same way," Drew said."Ju
Chapter 24After returning home, Carol expressed her annoyance at Alex, of course she felt very annoyed with Alex's behavior in not keeping his word and just leaving her, he even ignored all his wife's calls and messages just for work reasons.When he arrived home, Alex seemed to ignore her and went into his room, this added to Carol's anger, so she went to her room to talk to Alex.“What happened to you huh? You just left me at my parents' house and you said we would watch and buy ice cream after you came back but what? we ended up at home and you ignored me, you didn't even apologize or do anything to make me better," Carol said."I'm busy Carol," Alex said in a cold tone.“Busy you say? Are you serious? Alex, you are on leave and you have to focus on me, with my pregnancy, why are you busy with your work now?" Carol said.“Enough Carol! What do you want? You married the guy you're crazy about, you're living with me now, you're pregnant and now I'm here for you, what more could you
Chapter 25When Alex arrived at the mansion, he didn't see anyone there or anything suspicious, everything seemed quiet.After parking his car, Alex immediately went into the mansion and he still didn't find anything there, until his footsteps stopped, and he saw an old man standing in the backyard of his mansion.Alex approached the man and was surprised to see who was there, he was William, his uncle."You? How did you get here? Who allowed you to come in here?” Alex said he didn't expect the man he would meet to be someone he knew well."Oh hi Alex, we meet again, I've been waiting for you here, I thought you would immediately know where I was but it seems like you were easily fooled," William said."What are you doing here?" Alex said.“What else? Of course, I'm here to meet your girl but unfortunately, she's sleeping with her mother so I can't talk to her," William said and Alex immediately pushed his uncle's body to the ground and pinned him down. He grabbed William's collar wit
Chapter 26 A week passed And every day Olivia always thinks about what Alex said when they met that night, a feeling that doesn't mean what it means but makes Olivia quite nervous and curious. She and her mother still live in Alex's mansion, cause where else should she live if not there, she won't use Alex's money in her account, even paying for everything Alex gives her feels impossible. "What's wrong Olivia? Are you thinking about something?” Sally said she approached her daughter who was sitting on the back porch, bringing her hot tea. "Nothing Mom," Olivia said. "Alex still contacts me every day to ask about you, I've asked him to leave you and focus on his wife but he's decided to keep you, and when does your contract end?" Sally said. "In less than 2 years our contract ends, and after that, we can continue our lives without him," Olivia said. "Olivia," Sally said, she looked at her daughter who at that moment looked sad. "Yes Mom," Olivia said. "What if after t
Chapter 27 "Where is your husband? did he leave you again?” Khloe said she was at Carol's house when her best friend asked her to come over, Carol was crying and she needed someone. "He hasn't come home for a week, I don't know where he is, maybe he's at his office. I haven't come there yet because I still feel nauseous," Carol said. “Look at your face, have you been crying for days?” Khloe said. “Of course, how can I not cry? what if he changes his mind and wants to divorce me? gosh, it's my fault, I shouldn't have said anything about that bitch," Carol said. “That bitch? Who do you mean?" Khloe said. "Who else? His ex, my father always talks about that girl, which makes me curious, but should I find out? I mean, I don't want reporters to know about this and make news like I'm competing with that poor girl, she's not on my level," Carol said. "But at least you know who your rival is, I already expected it, I told you to find out who that girl is because she managed to make Ale
Chapter 28Returning to Alex who is still thinking about his plans which have repeatedly failed, he never gets the results he imagined, but no matter what business he does, he always succeeds and that is the reason his company can become the best property company. If many people think he is exactly like his grandfather, that's true, Alex shows the same attitude and perseverance as his grandfather in the business field, that's because since childhood, his grandfather, Evan, has always taught him how to get involved in the business world.Evan's attitude towards Alex is what makes many other family members jealous, and quite a few have hatred towards Alex, including William's family.That day he asked his assistant to pick up Olivia and Sally since William's arrival at his mansion made Alex uneasy, but this time they only stayed in an apartment that wasn't that big, but quite far from the city, and Alex did that to distract Billy and William.Alex intended to go to meet them at the new
Chapter 29 Olivia continued to look at her shaking hands when her mother came in and saw the mess in the room, Sally immediately approached her daughter. “Mom, what am I doing?” Olivia said. “Olivia, what happened? Did you hit Alex on the head with a lamp?” Sally said. "Mom, I swear I didn't mean to hurt him, I...I just...mom," Olivia said and Sally immediately hugged her. “What happened Olivia? why do you always fight? It's my fault, I asked him to come because I was worried about you, but what happened?" Sally said and looked at her daughter. "I don't know, Mom, is he okay?" Olivia said. "Olivia, his head was injured and he looked very pale, I didn't have time to hold him because he just walked away, but tell me what happened," Sally said. "Mom, I'm angry with him, I'm disappointed with him, I thought the problem was only about him choosing another girl to live with but no, the problem is bigger than that, his presence here, between us is not a coincidence, he is not an ange
Chapter 30A dew covered Olivia's mind, who at that time was sitting alone in a park, she looked here and there, there were lots of people there looking at her with unusual faces as if they knew who Olivia was.She thought about her mother, but what they had done to Olivia seemed unforgivable, even the people Olivia had always trusted, her mother kept many secrets behind her, and her father's death seemed no longer a surprise.But for Olivia it was still a mystery, the reason why Alex did that was still a big question mark in her head, Olivia also felt very betrayed because that man not only took her heart, but he took the life of someone who meant a lot to Olivia, her father.Deep within Olivia's heart, there was a huge feeling of hope for herself and Alex, a feeling that she slowly buried within herself as the truth began to emerge one by one. Olivia felt too dumb for easily falling in love with that man, even if their backgrounds looked very different, they had absolutely nothing i
Chapter 88 5 years later… “Mom!!! Have you seen my socks? I put them here earlier but they just disappeared,” Sarah said, she was 5 years old when she could complain to Olivia about many things, including her missing socks. “Sarah, I told you, check under your bed and you can find all the lost treasures,” Olivia said. “Where are you going mom?” Sarah said as Olivia entered her room, looking unusually neat. “I have to meet a friend,” Olivia said. “Friend? Is that person uncle Louis?” Sarah said and Olivia walked over to her daughter, making her sit on the bed and helping her put on her socks. “Yes, that person is uncle Louis,” Olivia said. “Are you and uncle Louis together?” Sarah said. “No, what are you talking about? We’re just friends, he helped me get your dad out early,” Olivia said. “Really? So when can I meet daddy?” Sarah said. “I don’t know, but I’m sure we can meet him sooner,” Olivia said. “But mom..” Sarah said and Olivia looked into her little girl’
Chapter 87 Days passed… Olivia never heard from Alex again, that was the last day she heard Alex's voice, she didn't even get to tell him how much she loved him. The closer their daughter's day was, Olivia became very nervous because Alex was not by her side, David got news that the CEO was in prison for murder. Olivia wanted to see him so much but David and Sally asked her to focus on the birth of her baby, even though they knew it was impossible. How could Olivia stop thinking about Alex after what they had been through together? "Mom," Olivia said, Sally immediately approached her and sat beside her, Sally gave her daughter hot chocolate hoping it would make her heart feel better. "I know you miss him, but he did the best he could to protect you and your baby," Sally said. "But why did he have to do this? A question I never found the answer to, he already had me and our baby so what else did he want? He can forget everything, it's just the past, he just needs to move on with
Chapter 86Inside Olivia's room, she couldn't hold back her sadness, her tears hadn't dried since she saw what Judy sent her, and all the media had also reported about the scandal. Olivia felt like it was all deja vu, she locked herself in her room again and made Sally worried.Since then Olivia didn't activate her phone again, she didn't want to see the news about Alex and Judy, even though in her heart she wanted to ask Alex the truth and why he did that behind Olivia's back. It had only been a week since they separated but something unwanted happened.Olivia tried hard for the baby in her stomach, her mind was in chaos but she couldn't give up that time, she had lost before, not just one person she loved but two. So she didn't want to lose a third time.That night, the weather was quite cold, Olivia who was still standing near her bedroom window decided to close it and go back to bed, her puffy eyes and slightly pale face might be able to describe how hurt she was at that time.‘kn
Chapter 85Alex together with William went to where Billy was, anger had peaked inside the CEO he didn't care what would happen to him, he only thought about the fate of Olivia and their baby, Alex just wanted Olivia to be able to live in peace."Alex, are you sure about this?" William said."Yes, from the start this is what I planned," Alex said.William took Alex to his childhood home, making Alex surprised because he didn't think Billy was there, the house looked dark even though William always turned on the lights so that the house was still visible even though it was empty."I think he's already inside," William said Alex wanted to get out of the car immediately but William held him back."What are you doing? Don't you see how many people are guarding the place, you could die before you meet Billy," William said."What is he doing here?" Alex said."He followed me when I wanted to clean this place, he felt this place had the secret he was looking for, so it seems like he's lookin
Chapter 84Three days passed…It felt so lonely living in the penthouse alone, Alex could only see Olivia's face from the picture on his phone screen, they still often talked on the phone every night.Yesterday William said that Billy asked his men to watch Alex's residence, no wonder why today felt different for the CEO. He felt that something was going to happen there, Alex deliberately didn't want to end it first even though he could have killed Billy and finished everything, but he had to take a wise step before regretting it again.That afternoon, Alex seemed to be enjoying his coffee in the living room as if he was waiting for what would come to him, until the bell rang, surprising him because what William said was true, Alex just needed to be aware of the possibilities that might happen.The bell continued to ring and Alex put his cup on the table before opening the door but he was more surprised because Judy was in front of him at that time, with her face full of bruises."Ale
Chapter 83“Are you sure your plan will work this time?” Judy said.“I still want to live too, of course I will do anything to live better than this, surviving in that place is like hell now, I can’t stay there anymore and enjoy everything, I’m just like a guinea pig, I don’t know when I’ll be sacrificed,” Carol said.“But doing your plan alone I don’t think it will work, we both know what Alex is like, he has money and everything, and look at you, without Billy you are nothing,” Judy said.“Oh really? Do you think Billy is the only rich and powerful person?” Carol said.“What do you mean? Do you know anyone else you can rely on besides him?” Judy said.“Of course, I’m just curious about Olivia’s reaction when she finds out about this, but are you ready?” Carol said.“Actually this is too crazy to do, and you see what happened to my body, I’m a mess now, I don’t know if I can do it again or not,” Judy said.“So you want me to do it? I’ll be happy to do it for you, it’s been so long si
Chapter 82Alex rushed home from his office when he received a recording of William's conversation with Billy, they had indeed planned it all and now Olivia and her daughter's lives were indeed in danger. He had to immediately take Olivia to a safer place. Even though he knew where he hid Olivia, Billy would always find a way to find her.When he arrived at the penthouse, Alex entered and saw Sally and David preparing dinner in the kitchen, they looked happy together, but Alex ignored them, he just passed the kitchen and went up to their room and found Olivia who had just come out of the bathroom looking shocked to see Alex there."Oh god, you surprised me, Alex, what happened?" Olivia said and Alex immediately hugged her tightly."Hey, what's wrong? Did something happen to you? Why are you like this?" Olivia said."We have to get out of here, especially you and our baby," Alex said as he let go of Olivia's hug, making the girl in front of him confused."What do you mean? Explain to m
Chapter 81That afternoon Gwen was seen sitting in the back garden with a cup of rose tea in her hand, she enjoyed her life of luxury, she could buy anything she wanted, she could go anywhere she wanted, and she didn't need to think about how much it would cost, she could enjoy it all.Her calmness didn't last long after Willy appeared there with a cigar in his hand, he walked over to Gwen and immediately sat next to her, making the woman surprised and looking here and there to make sure Billy didn't see them."Don't worry, your husband is out with his men, and Carol hasn't been seen since this morning, it's just you and me here," Willy said."What do you want from me? You shouldn't be here, you're just making things difficult," Gwen said."Whose situation do you mean? You? I don't think Billy would care if you did something behind his back, that man doesn't even see you here anymore, he never really loved you, Gwen, he just used you to cover up his mistakes," Willy said.“What do you
Chapter 80 He had thought about not telling Olivia about what happened, but when faced with the girl, Alex also couldn't hide his guilt, even though he didn't know what happened in the past, between Evan and Billy, he still believed that his grandfather never committed all those crimes. He was just a victim of people who weren't happy to see his success. But not only one person said that his grandfather wasn't that good a person, maybe Evan was perfect for Alex but he was still an ordinary human being who had many mistakes. Alex seemed to be contemplating in his office, Olivia would only give birth in a few months, and he had to be by the girl's side to provide support. But what about this never-ending problem, he couldn't just let his guard down since William told him that Billy was planning something. 'knock...knock...' "Come in," Alex said and his assistant entered the room. "What's wrong?" Alex said. “Steve has been unreachable since yesterday, I also asked someone to check
