Chapter 5
It's been a week after Alex and Carol's wedding, and Olivia still hasn't met Alex, she still lives in the penthouse but the CEO never comes to visit her again, she believes it's because Alex is busy taking care of her wedding and she also has to be in Los Angeles a week before her wedding. But that means Olivia has been feeling lonely for more than a month, she also can't go to the hospital to see her mother because the paparazzi still like to follow her, for the past week Olivia has been feeling unwell, she often wakes up at night because of nausea and her head often feels dizzy. Sometimes, Alex calls her but only briefly to ask how Olivia is doing and then leaves, making Olivia feel neglected. Even though she knew her position was no longer important to Alex. Now that he is officially married, he has become a husband and maybe Olivia's presence is no longer needed. That night, Olivia woke up again from her sleep and rushed to the bathroom because of the nausea she felt. Sweat drenched her body because she didn't feel well. Olivia didn't intend to go to the hospital because she thought it was just because she was too stressed, but it seemed like there was something else. When Olivia came out of the bathroom with a pale face, she was surprised to see Alex there, Alex immediately hugged the girl tightly. “I missed you,” Alex said. "What are you doing here?" Olivia said as Alex let go of her hug. “I'm home, wait, what happened to you? Your face is very pale, are you okay?” Alex said and placed the back of his hand on Olivia's forehead. "No, I'm fine," Olivia immediately looked away from Alex. “Hey baby, what's wrong? I know I'm hard to reach but that's not because I don't miss you, I-" Olivia immediately went back into the bathroom because her nausea had returned, making Alex confused. “Olivia open the door! what happened? Are you sick?" Alex said. "No, I'm fine," Olivia said. “No, you don't look fine, open the door!!” Alex said and the door opened, Olivia appeared there. “I'm okay, and why are you here? Your wife must be looking for you and—" "No need to talk about it, let's go to the hospital," Alex said. “No, don't you know? Since you married Carol, a lot of paparazzi have been following me and if they see us together, maybe your life will be ruined," Olivia said. “Then what about me who came here? forget about the damn paparazzi, come on," Alex said. "No, I don't want to, I just need to rest," Olivia said. "Fine, I'll call the doctor so they can come here and check your condition," Alex said. After waiting for almost 30 minutes, the sound of the bell was heard, Olivia who was lying on the bed could hear it because the door to her room was not closed, Alex and a doctor came into the room and Olivia immediately leaned against the headboard. "Good evening Miss Olivia," The Doctor said as he approached Olivia in her bed. "Good evening doc," Olivia said. "How are you? You look pale, it looks like you're lacking a lot of fluids, I'll give you an IV, but can you tell me how you feel, Miss Olivia?” The doctor said. "I just don't feel well, my body aches and I feel nauseous at night, my head often gets dizzy," Olivia said, Alex was beside her and continued to hold Olivia's hand. “Have you had your period this month?” The doctor said. "Oh, I don't think I've had my period yet, it looks like I'm late for my period this month," Olivia said. "Miss Olivia, when was the last time you had sex?" The doctor said and Olivia was quite surprised by the question. Olivia turned to Alex beside her before looking back at the doctor. "I don't know, but I think it was a month ago," Olivia said. "Okay, actually I know what's going on with you but so we can all see the results, can you do this?" The doctor gave Olivia a small bottle with a test pack. “Wait, are you serious? I mean, there's no way I'm pregnant," Olivia said. "Pregnant?" Alex said. "The symptoms that appear on you point to pregnancy, but to be more certain you have to check them, after that I will give you an IV so that your body doesn't lack fluids," the doctor said. "But-" "Olivia, it's okay, go and do it," Alex said and Olivia took a small bottle and test pack before going into the bathroom. After 15 minutes Olivia came out with a test pack in her hand, she gave the test pack to the doctor and Alex was still waiting there. "Come here," Alex said and Olivia sat down next to him. "As I thought, the results are positive, congratulations Miss Olivia, you are pregnant, you should go to the hospital to find out the details of your pregnancy," the doctor said. “W-What?” Olivia said she was very shocked to learn the news, the news of her pregnancy, news she didn't want to hear. news that she thought was impossible for her to hear. “Oh, are you serious? My girlfriend is pregnant?” Alex said, he had a different reaction, Olivia immediately turned to Alex when Alex suddenly hugged her. “I'm going to be a father,” Alex said. An hour passed, and the doctor immediately left as soon as the IV was removed, he left Olivia in her room and met Alex outside the room. “Mr. Alex, congratulations on your girlfriend's pregnancy, but does your family know about this?” The doctor said. "No, they don't need to know, thanks again, I will transfer the money to your account," Alex said and the doctor just smiled before leaving. Alex rushed to meet Olivia in the room, he saw Olivia who looked shocked in her bed. “Hey baby, what's wrong? Why are you not happy with this news? you're pregnant,” Alex said. "What's wrong with you? Alex, I'm pregnant and the person who made me like this just married another girl, are you kidding me? Am I supposed to be happy about all these things?” Olivia said. "What did you say? I will be responsible because it's my baby, I won't leave you and what are you worried about?” Alex said. “You're crazy, Alex, I'm screwing up my own life,” Olivia said. "No, Olivia, I told you that you are my girlfriend and always will be" Alex said. “Stop with that nonsense! in just 2 years our contract ended and look what happened to me? I'm pregnant, in 2 years you will be responsible and what after that? what if your wife is pregnant and what—" "Enough!" Alex said. “No! I haven't finished talking yet!” Olivia said. “I hate this! I hate my life! You never know what it's like to be me because you always do what you want without thinking about other people! this sucks!” Olivia said. “What do you want now?” Alex said. “Nothing! I just want this damn contract to end!” Olivia said. “That's not going to happen,” Alex said. "Why are you doing this to me!" Olivia hit Alex's chest but Alex immediately caught both of Olivia's hands. "Why are you doing this?" Olivia said with tears on her cheeks. "I have to do it, rest, I'll stay here tonight, don't think about anything, think about this baby, I'm here, I'm always here, don't think about my and Carol's wedding, don't," Alex said. “You're crazy,” Olivia said. “Yes, I am! call me if you need anything, and I'll make porridge for you," Alex said, he kissed Olivia's forehead before leaving the room. To be continued…Chapter 6"Where is your husband?" Carol's father said they were having dinner together, but Alex wasn't there. “He's in a meeting, he's been very busy lately,” Carol said. “Are you sure he is busy with his work? I'm still curious about who Olivia is, there's a lot of news talking about that girl," Carol’s mother said. "Mom, that's in the past, I don't know who she is, but now he's mine, so I'll make sure no one can take him from me, including that poor girl," Carol said. "Call your husband now and tell him to come here, I want to talk to him," Carol's father said and Carol immediately took the phone to call Alex. But she didn't get an answer to her call, of course, that was because Alex was busy with his other girl. Alex couldn't seem to stop kissing Olivia in their bed, even though Olivia had asked him to stop because of the annoying phone sound. "Alex stop," Olivia pushed Alex's body a little to stop him. "What? Your lips are very addictive," Alex said and tried to kiss Oli
Chapter 7Alex works in the property sector, he owns many housing complexes and malls spread across several regions and even other countries. His performance has been recognized among other businessmen, as well as Carol's father, he is his tough rival. That's why marrying Carol was a surprise to many people, not only to other people but it also made Carol's father very suspicious of their sudden marriage plans. As Alex said, that day he went out of town, but not for business, he went with Olivia, his girlfriend, his fake girlfriend. Avoiding the busy city, they choose to spend time near the beach. "Why did you bring me here?" Olivia said, and Alex just smiled before getting out of his car, as did Olivia who followed him from behind. Alex opened the door to the villa and Olivia was very surprised because the place was very beautiful, it was like everyone's dream house, a house that directly faces the beach. "Did you like it?" Alex said. “Yes, of course I love it, it's amazing, ho
Chapter 8The morning sun was really beautiful and warm, Olivia slept very soundly last night, and a smile immediately appeared on her face when she looked out her bedroom window, the beach view was very beautiful, and the sky was also very bright. She didn't see Alex there, maybe the man had gone to meet his colleagues. After cleaning herself, Olivia came out of her room. She intended to make a simple breakfast but she saw something on the dining table. A rose with juice and waffles, don't forget a note beside it. “Rose for my baby, juice, and waffles for our baby, Alex” Those words were enough to make butterflies fly in Olivia's stomach. Alex was quite romantic, not only in his words but also in his actions, maybe that was why Olivia fell in love with him. "He should have married me," Olivia muttered before taking a sip of Alex's homemade juice. Meanwhile, in another place, Alex seemed to be waiting for someone at a cafe. He continued to look at the phone in his hand, his smil
Chapter 9 Hearing the waves crashing on the beach at night is the best, even the cold wind is quite refreshing. Alex approached Olivia who was enjoying looking at the beach from her seat, he kissed Olivia on the cheek to surprise her. "This is for you," Alex said with a bouquet of Olivia's favorite roses. “Wow, when did you buy it? This is so beautiful Alex, thank you," Olivia said and kissed him before Alex sat down in front of her. "We should move inside, it's quite cold in here," Alex said. "No, it's okay, I like being here, having dinner while listening to the waves, it's fun," Olivia said. A waiter came with their order, Olivia's favorite grilled lobster, that night they decided to eat at a beachside restaurant. The atmosphere was very romantic, even though Olivia had warned Alex about the paparazzi who might be there, but Alex didn't care about that. "How's the Lobster?" Alex said. “This is the best, the lobster is so sweet, how do they make it?” Olivia said and Alex jus
Chapter 10 Alex's presence in Olivia's life is quite confusing because he is the only male figure who is in her heart. Olivia had thought that her feelings for Alex were a mistake because Alex might have been just using her. But seeing all the attention that felt real made Olivia think whether it was possible for a rich CEO to like a poor girl like her. Olivia's eyes couldn't look away from her fake boyfriend, she kept looking at Alex who looked serious talking to the doctor. Olivia didn't know how to position herself at that moment, she never had Alex's heart, but what was the reason Alex gave all that to her? If it was just because of the contract, would he be that happy when he found out that Olivia was pregnant with his baby? "Thanks, doc," Alex said and the Doctor left the room. "Hey the doctor said we can go home after the IV runs out, do you still feel pain in your stomach?" Alex said. "No, I'm fine, but Alex, why are you doing this?" Olivia said. "What do you mean?" Al
Chapter 11But that night, according to his promise to Carol and to make his wife believe that Alex was her, the CEO went home to meet his wife.When he entered, Alex could see Carol in her red dress which made her very sexy, even Alex, as a man, couldn't lie and admit that Carol did have her aura, her body was indeed sexy, but was she the CEO's type? No one knows."You're finally home, I've been waiting for you, I'm going to warm up our dinner," Carol said and rushed to the kitchen, she put the food she made into the microwave.Alex approached her and immediately hugged her from behind, surprising Carol but she was very happy if her husband was spoiled like that."Do you miss me?" Carol said.“Yeah, and you know how to tempt me,” Alex said.“Of course, you always praise me when I wear a red dress, I bought it today, what do you think? Does this dress suit me?" Carol said.Alex let go of his hug and made Carol face him, his eyes moving from head to toe before ending on Carol's eyes."
Chapter 12At Carol's luxurious house, she had just finished showering, came out of her room, and was getting ready to make breakfast for herself, yes Alex had left her, just left, leaving Carol in their bed.But Carol didn't mind after what they did last night, finally, it happened again and made Carol very happy, if she was pregnant she could show off to lots of girls out there if she was the only winner of the CEO's heart.While humming and making juice in the kitchen, Carol heard the sound of her doorbell ringing. That early the guests came, but there were only two possibilities, either her parents or Alex who came back.Carol placed her glass of juice on the counter and hurried to open the door for the mysterious guest.But when the door opened, Carol's eyes immediately widened, she immediately pulled the man into her house and closed the door behind them."What are you doing here? Are you crazy? what if someone sees you coming here so early? And how do you know my house?” Carol
Chapter 13Day after day, month after month, everything went well, as did Olivia's pregnancy, it didn't feel like she had entered her 3rd month of pregnancy, Olivia felt very happy because her baby was healthy and she would soon meet her mother.Alex had told Olivia that in a week her mother would come to the penthouse and stay with Olivia and Lola. Then what about Alex?He had to be a good husband to Carol, so he would stay by his wife's side, especially at times like this."I don't know what happened to me! Why am I not pregnant yet? we already triedmany ways!! Gosh, I hate this!” Carol said."It's okay, I don't mind, but if you want a baby, how about we try IVF?" Alex said."IVF? That's a good idea, we just need to try it, ah you're right, I'll find out which hospital can do that program well," Carol said, she kissed her husband who was sitting in front of the TV.He watched Olivia's favorite drama, they always did it together but this time he was there alone.But elsewhere, Olivi
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
