Chapter 71That night Alex couldn't stop thinking about what William said to him, did he do something wrong? Is he a murderer? His intention was only to find out who was behind Evan's destruction, but why did his mind now have doubts, he doubted if what he had done all this time was just a mistake.Still on his balcony with his mind who knows where, Alex was surprised when Olivia hugged him from behind, her big belly made a little distance between the two of them."Why are you still here? Is there something bothering your mind?" Olivia said, she let go of his hug after kissing Alex's back and stood beside the CEO."Nothing," Alex said."That means there's something on your mind, why don't you try sharing it with me? It's not because I'm pregnant that I can't listen to your problems," Olivia said."Is there another reason why you still choose me to be your man?" Alex said.“I don’t even have a reason, I don’t know why I’m here, with someone who has ruined everything I have, my life wil
Chapter 72A week later…That afternoon, Olivia woke up from her nap when her mother woke her up, her eyes opened and Sally's face was there, right in front of her."What's wrong Mom?" Olivia said."Your friend, Judy is here," Sally said."Judy?" Olivia said and her mother helped her sit up."Yeah, she said she was around here and stopped by to see you, but if you don't want to see her I can just say-""No, Mom, it's okay, I'll see her, can you tell her to wait? I'll clean my face and come out," Olivia said."Are you sure?" Sally said."Mom, don't be like that, she's my friend," Olivia said and Sally just nodded before kissing Olivia on the forehead and leaving her big room.After cleaning her face, Olivia went downstairs to meet Judy in the living room, the girl saw Olivia and smiled at her."Hi Olivia, am I bothering you?" Judy said.“No, it’s okay, I was just a little sleepy and fell asleep,” Olivia said and sat down next to Judy.“I happened to be nearby, so I stopped by to see yo
Chapter 73“Hi Olivia, this is for you,” David had just come with two bouquets in his hands, and gave a bouquet of white roses to Olivia while the other bouquet was for Sally, David looked very neat and fragrant even though he just wanted to visit a friend.“Thank you, uncle, come in,” Olivia said and made way for David to enter her house, that night Sally had prepared a special dinner, of course for the four of them, not just for her and David.Alex was also home that night because Olivia asked him to come home early, he had just finished taking a shower when David came. Olivia asked the man to wait in the living room while she called her mother in the kitchen, and she went into the room to meet Alex and tell him that David had arrived.“Is he here?” Alex said and Olivia just smiled as she approached the CEO and stood in front of him.“Why are you smiling like that?” Olivia said.“I think he likes my mom, he looks so neat and he smells so good, he brought two bouquets, white roses fo
Chapter 74“I’ve never seen you this worried Bill, what made you like this? Is that kid the reason? I warned you, he’s not just any kid, you can’t take him lightly, he has the will to bring you down and what did our parents say about that? A person with a will is someone who is in control,” Willy said with a cigar in his right hand.“Shut up Will! I don’t want to hear your advice, he and Evan have something in common, they are too ambitious in business, and it’s disgusting, that kid also never stops finding out about his grandfather’s past, if he knew the truth he might be quite ashamed of all his actions towards me, especially when he finds out what happened between Evan and Sonya,” Billy said.“Billy…Billy…you’re always old-fashioned about this, the Evan and Sonya incident is the only thing you keep talking about, you only saw it once in your life and you have no proof of who started it first, you prioritize their intimate scenes over the cause of their deaths, the fire, until now i
Chapter 75 Olivia's eyes slowly opened as the sun began to rise and shine on her. She was sleeping facing the window which turned out the curtains had not been closed since last night. She looked at her stomach where Alex's hand was seen hugging her. The morning was bright enough to start the day, she could see the blue sky and some birds flying here and there, Olivia did not move from her bed, she just enjoyed the moment for a while because she thought maybe it would not happen again. "Morning baby," Alex buried his face in Olivia's neck before kissing the girl's back, he also stroked Olivia's big stomach and made her smile. "Morning Alex," Olivia said. "How did you sleep?" Alex said. "Very soundly, how about you?" Olivia said. "My sleep has never been better without you," Alex said, he put his head on Olivia's head and closed his eyes again. "What do you think Uncle David and my mother did last night? We should have met them, right?" Olivia said. “We did the right t
Chapter 76“Have you found out where that guy is?” Alex said, he had just finished his morning meeting and wanted to go back to his office, he asked his assistant to find out where Rick and his family were.“Yes sir, he just came back from a business trip with his wife, I have sent you the address via email, all the data you need is there,” His assistant said.“Alright, you did a good job, then what about that bastard?” Alex said.“His company is already in a stable position sir, there is no new project or employee termination, it seems he is taking the safe route this time,” His assistant said.“Summon that rat to my office,” Alex said.“Yes sir,” His assistant said and he went out of Alex’s office to pick up someone who was suspected of corrupting the company’s money.A man named Steve from the finance department manipulated the expenditure data, he did that for months and looked innocent as if he had succeeded in fooling the boss.‘knock…knock..’“Come in,” Alex said.“Good morning
Chapter 77“So I’m the one you came here for?” Martha said.“I didn’t expect to find you this soon, and I didn’t expect you and Rick—““We’ve been together since I was your grandfather’s secretary, that’s a bad memory of mine I don’t want to talk about it anymore, I’ve buried it deep inside,” Martha said.“But I need everything you know, you were there, you were the closest person to my grandfather, and you were the victim of the abuse my grandfather was accused of, but you never came to court,” Alex said.“For what? That man just kept threatening me to keep quiet about the incident, I’m sure you won’t believe me, I know how close you were to him, I was also there at the time, seeing you little and having fun with him in his room, maybe you forgot, but if you ask me to say that your grandfather never abused me, I can’t lie, that’s all he did, and John covered it all up,” Martha said.“So you’re saying that the scandal is true? about what my grandfather did to you is true?” Alex said.
Chapter 78Alex arrived at the house earlier than William, he immediately went into his grandfather's study and sat there, he opened every drawer on the table and there were only useless papers. Alex kept thinking about what he had to find to justify Martha's words, he thought looking for the woman would free him from guilt but on the contrary, Martha confirmed that Evan did do everything he was accused of.Not long after William came and Alex stared at him firmly when the man approached him, he didn't say anything when William bombarded him with many questions."Alex answer me! Where did you find the woman? what did she say to you?" William said, he stood in front of the table, facing Alex who was still sitting there."Alex—""Did I do something wrong?" Alex said."What do you mean? what did the woman say?" William said."Many things and none of her words justify my actions, did I...did I make a big mistake?" Alex said, the CEO's words sounded doubtful, his voice was not as firm as u
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
