EPILOGUE. Months later, Olivia struggled to keep her eyes open, she could see the smiling faces but they were blurry.She tried again and she could finally see them clearly. Maynard, Bryan, Sage.. everyone was present."Olivia! you are awake!". they said in unison and she gave them a tired smile.Maynard came and sat beside her."How are you feeling?". he asked."Am very tired". Olivia replied." I guess we both won the bet". Maynard said happily."Really?". Olivia asked."Yes, it's a boy and a girl". Maynard replied and Olivia smiled faintly, turning her head to the baby cradle right beside her bed. Her babies were fast asleep and right beside them was Bryan piercing gaze."He's been that way ever since. He hasn't stopped staring at them."With permission, can I be the babies' godfather?". Sage asked faking a British accent."Of course, my good man ". Olivia replied with the accent as well although her voice was hoarse."Congratulations mummy". Bryan said happily, finally tearing hi
CHAPTER ONE"You're so amazing baby!"Olivia moves uncomfortably on the bed, curling herself up but careful not to make any noise.The conversation Maynard is having keeps breaking her heart and she wishes there was a way to stop him from doing so.Over thirty minutes, she has been awake, listening to the phone call her husband was making.Not like it's the first time, on several occasions... Maynard was seen with a lady whose face Olivia has never gotten to see. A night, she saw Maynard going into an hotel with hands wrapped firmly around a lady.Olivia could not see the lady's face since she could only have a glimpse of their back view.It's not the typical her to just storm into the hotel, pull the lady by her hair and curse her never to get close to her husband. Olivia remained calm nonetheless. "...I can't wait to see you! Can't wait to get massaged by you.."Olivia takes her lower lips in and bites on it hard as it wounds her deeply to watch Maynard flirt with another woman rig
CHAPTER TWOOlivia keeps tossing back and forth on the bed. Since this morning, she remained locked up in her room and the urge to eat something was far from her. She cannot bring herself to do anything not even to get up from the bed which she has been lying on for hours.Everywhere she looks, reminds her of Maynard's infidelity and Lucy's words crosses her mind again."Divorce him. He's not meant for you! You don't deserve him! You don't deserve a man who runs back to his ex girlfriend barely one year of being married. He's a coward, you should not live with this. You deserve a better man Olivia....." Those words never left her head and it's beginning to drive her crazy. How can Lucy suggest such a thing? Of course, Maynard is cheating on her... She deserves a better man, but Maynard can be better!Olivia believes that this is a challenge she must overcome in her marriage. It breaks her heart that she is the one suffering from all of this but she has to fix it. She has to get h
CHAPTER THREETwo days later, Maynard already signed the divorce papers and had it sent back to Olivia, who was really quite distress over the incidence and out of anger, had her identity changed. She no longer wants to have anything of Maynard with her. She wants him out of her life completely... For good!. She did not think that Maynard would sign the divorce papers she left. Maybe she hoped for something else, like he'd look for her and ask her to come back. She was wrong, her sister was right.. Maynard is a completely different man now.Not the man she got married to, but the man who threw his marriage away just to get back with his ex girlfriend. These two days, Olivia hasn't been herself.. She feels hurt that Maynard betrayed her to this extent."Are you okay? I've been knocking for sometime now" Lucy walks in and Olivia immediately places the divorces papers down and sits up, resting her back on the head board.".. You were staring at that again, weren't you?" She sits besid
Maynard didn't Know what to do at that moment. His mind fills with conflicted thoughts as he tries to fight back the feeling he's having. He finds himself trying to reach out to the lady since she was still on the floor. He could not see her face since her hair was scattered all over. His hands touched her shoulder but as soon as it did, she shrugs him off with an angry scowl.."Take your hands off me, do not touch me!"She stands up, puts her face cap on and began to walk away without turning. Maynard finds himself in a state of perplexity but he knew he had to follow her to clear the doubt that lingers in his mind.Just as he was about to take a step, his driver, Henry showed up."Sir, we have to leave!!""Just a second Henry,..." He made to take another step but Henry stopped him again."We have to go Sir! The press are outside and creating a scene already."Maynard frowns.. "How did they get to know that I'll be here?""I have no idea..!"With that, Maynard rush out through th
Lucy rushes out as soon as she hears Olivia's scream. Olivia stands with her hands stretched out and eyes filled with terror as she panics at the sight of her blood-covered hands.She had pulled out the content from the gift bag only to discover that it was a cloth covered in fresh blood. It was a horrible sight and it made her really terrified.What sort of prank is this? Why would anyone want to play such jokes on her? This is really crossing the line. Whoever this anonymous fan is.. He's dangerous."Goodness!!" Lucy gasps in shock, seeing Olivia in such terrified state. She picks up the letter and reads through it, she found it hard to believe that it's resulting to such extents.Lucy tries to touch Olivia but she flinch in fear and rush back in. Olivia made her way to the kitchen and begins to wash the blood stains off her hands.The sight of it leaves her irritated and she feels like throwing up. She feels goosebumps on her skin too."Why isn't this coming off? Why is it so hard t
A week passes and Olivia has refused to step out of the apartment. Her manager, Harper had called and she informs him that she's unwell and would be needing some days off.It's worth it. The incident that happened made her feel under the weather because she could not get the irritating image off her head. She thought about leaving but decided not to because it will be giving in to what the anonymous person wants.Besides, Letters and gifts stopped coming since the police got involved and he left her with the thought that she's been watched. Why else would the letters stop coming as soon as she had it reported.. That's the more reason she doesn't want to go out because she's scared of what might happen.But she won't continue to hide in her shell just because some random person keeps playing dangerous pranks on her.Walking into the industry, her colleagues wouldn't stop asking how she's doing. Mr Harper must have told them that she's unwell. She couldn't help but wonder if they were a
Mr Harper did not say a word about it for the next two days and Olivia was glad that he didn't try to convince her. He only informs her that they have a new project and she gladly accepts to do it since Maynard nor his industry wasn't involved.".... He's a new actor who just got signed by the industry, can you work with him?""Of course. As long as he's good at what he does, then we can make a great team..." Mr Harper nods and Olivia speaks further. "When do we start and when do I meet this new actor?""Since it's Friday, then I suggest we rest over the weekend and prepare our minds and we begin the following week"Olivia was pretty excited.. "Sure, that's great""I'll send a copy of the script to you shortly. However, do you know what other thing I think you should be teams with?"Olivia frowns, confused and trying to understand what he means.. "..And what is that?"Mr Harper sighs before saying... "Your partnership with Maynard's industry"Her frown deepens because she least expects

Maynard, Bryan, Sage.. everyone was present."Olivia! you are awake!". they said in unison and she gave them a tired smile.Maynard came and sat beside her."How are you feeling?". he asked."Am very tired". Olivia replied." I guess we both won the bet". Maynard said happily."Really?". Olivia asked."Yes, it's a boy and a girl".

The doctor came out the room unaware of everything that just transpired and Maynard and Olivia bought rushed forward."How is he doctor?". Olivia asked worriedly."He is fine and he will wake up soon ". the doctor said with a smile."That's good". Maynard said as holding into Evelyn's hands tightly so that she won't escape.At that moment, the police came and Evelyn was arrested instantly after much struggling. while she was having her fights with Maynard, Olivia had secretly called in the police. What Evelyn did is unimaginable and she should be punished."Maynard, you can't do this to me. I told you the whole truth. Tell them to let me go please. Tell them we're about to get married". Evelyn pleaded but got no reply from neither Maynard nor Olivia and the the police took her away.Maynard came to sit next to Olivia."Are you feeling okay? or do you need to visit the doctor?". maynard asked worriedly."No, am fine". Olivia replied."But you look a bit pale..""I am fine maynard, do
Maynard drove crazily through the traffic and he soon arrived at the hospital."Emergency!!". he screamed as he got out of the car immediately.Some nurses hurried over with a stretcher and Maynard placed Bryan on it carefully.They took him into the hospital and the doctor began to attend to him immediately."What is his name and what happened to him?". the doctor asked."His name is Bryan. He fell down the stairs by accident". Maynard explained."Ok". the doctor replied as they wheeled him into a room.Olivia was too shocked to say anything anymore so she just sat down quietly waiting while maynard paced around worriedly.Evelyn was very annoyed that the wedding was cancelled again. She wasn't particularly happy that the wedding will be on hold because of the brat.Just when she was this close to success that little brat had to pull such a foolish stunt and slip off the stairs."Why is it taking so damn long?" . I hope he is okay" Olivia said worriedly"I am sure he will be fine, le
Throughout the night, Maynard did not sleep a wink . He kept thinking about the wedding and finally it's today. In few hours, he'd be tieing the knot with Evelyn.He turned away from the mirror after dressing up and in that instant, Olivia walked in. He quickly rushed to her and hugged her."Please don't make me emotional than I already am Maynard?!" She pushed him away slightly, trying to fight back her tears." Come with me Olivia. Let's just run far away, that way, I won't have to get married to Evelyn and you won't have to be sad either"." Oh my! Why didn't we think about that earlier!? Let's run away " Olivia said cheerfully and Maynard was super ready to do so. He turned and was about to move to the wardrobe but Olivia caught his arm right on time."We should run far away and then what? So Evelyn can create more scandal against us? Don't be a coward Maynard because you're not. I am not going to support you in whatever plans you have. Let's just get this wedding over and done wi
Bryan joined Olivia in the room almost immediately. He had stood by the corner, observing everything. He sees how much she didn't like it and he didn't like it as well."Why are you here Bryan? Shouldn't you be downstairs with your mom and Dad?" She asked, surprised to see him in her room." Why are you here ma'am? shouldn't you be downstairs with Dad? He asked and Olivia chuckled before saying."Well, I don't belong there it's only best of I stay here. I don't want to be a bother to anyone"Bryan smiled.. " Me too Ma'am. I don't belong there and I don't want to be a bother"Olivia chuckled and ruffled his hair playfully."But you don't look happy ma'am. You really do not like what's going on right? You wish you can stop it don't you?"Olivia only stared at him without saying a word. I mean, what would a six years old boy possibly understand. He could be smart and all that but this is adult business. "Can I say something ma'am?" Bryan said, breaking into her thoughts." Of course, go
The next two days had been from one drama to another and it's Obvious Evelyn us the drama queen. She might be occupying Maynard's room, but he has refused to share a bed with her at all cost. He'd rather spend his night with Olivia than anyone else. That's how things are meant to be done.She did not stop causing more troubles and these past few days, she did not stop parading herself as the newest bride to be. More like she just won herself a medal or something.Olivia was tired of everything and she resorted into keeping as much distance as she could away from Evelyn. No matter how much annoyance she tried to cause, Olivia simply ignored her.As for Maynard, he did not like the fact that he was going shopping with Evelyn. People did not stop staring at them both as they stepping into the Mall.Evelyn has her head held high but he felt like disappearing into thin air. It was an embarrassing moment for him. The last time he stepped into the Mall was with Olivia, now he's with a sly sn
"Oh baby, you are back to your old angry self again.Anyways I am not here for you, I am here for your ex wife.Where is she? get out of the way let me see her". Evelyn said arrogantly."Olivia is not my ex wife but my wife because we are not even divorced yet so watch the words that comes out of that slutty mouth of yours..""The same slutty mouth you couldn't get enough of six years ago? Should I remind you how you kept kissing and nibbling on my..". Evelyn scoffed interrupting Maynard.Maynard clenched his fist in anger."Olivia is not going to see you do get the fuck out of my face". he said cutting her off and made to slam the door on Evelyn's face but she held it back and pushed it open."Tsk tsk, you are being a very bad boy.You didn't even ask me why I am at the front of your door with my luggages ". Evelyn said with a mischievous smile."I don't want to know because I don't care about anything that relates to you". Maynard said nonchalantly."You have to baby, you have to be
LATER THAT EVENINGSage took the longest bath he has ever had in his life. He shaved up and began to style his hair carefully. When he finally done, he wore the suit Olivia suggested, he looked absolutely stunning.He caught himself smiling at his reflection in the mirror and chided himself.His thoughts drifted off to Sofia.how would she react when she saw him this way? but he quickly pushed the thought out of his mind.He picked up his phone and called the restaurant manager."I hope everything has been settled according to plan? I don't want any interruptions unless it's absolutely necessary. Get your waiters to stand by. I want this to go well". Sage said coldly."Rest assured Mr Sage. everything has been taken care as you like it .the entire vip section will be out of bounds for other people except for you and your date and the special chef you hired has already arrived". the manager replied."That's good.I will be there in a few minutes". Sage said and hanged up. Why in Earth
They arrived at their bedroom and Olivia went to use the bathroom while Maynard began to receive series of phone calls from clients telling him to resolve his issues as soon as possible if not they are going to terminate their contract. They were all being Stern and no one was ready to buy his excuses. After finishing the calls, he decided to go through social media and the comments about Olivia was getting worse.*That bitch Olivia deserves whatever she's getting.**I hate women who act like this the most.she looks all innocent but she is a green tea bitch.*The comments were endless and majority of them were throwing hateful comments at olivia.only few of them supported her but that was barely one percent of the whole population. He threw his phone on the couch in anger."Damn it!". maynard cursed loudly.Olivia hurried out of the bathroom when he she heard Maynard cursing."What is happening?I heard you screaming from the...."Maynard interrupted her talk as he threw a fierce
