Mark got to the supposed clubhouse in an instant and maneuvered his way through the crowd of people dancing. He still couldn't believe she'd dare send him such text message! He wouldn't be here if she wasn't drunk! Drunk people tend to do things without thinking at all. He sighted her moving towards the restroom with a man. The man seem to be the one coaxing her to following him while her drunk self kept following him.Mark slapped his forehead. So this is what she meant by threatening to have séx with all the men. The perverted man wants to take advantage of her vulnerability.He rushed over and pulled Lucy from the man."Let go of her you pervert.!! " He snapped.The man looked angry and disappointed that his fun plan just got ruined. "You have no business to intervene. She's the one who keeps calling me Mark and I simply want to be Mark to her" He said huskily with a smirk and attempting to take Lucy back.Mark stepped forward in a protective manner, glaring at him."If you stil
The movie soon came to an end few days later and Olivia was glad that it did because it was already chocking her.Olivia gathered get stuff, making sure to put in everything because she's literally fed of everything that has to do with Starlight industry including the casts, producers and even Maynard. Many things did happen, the fire that almost cost her life and the kissing scene that almost ripped her heart out of her chest.There's nothing, absolutely nothing that would make her sign another contract with the starlight industry ever again, regardless of whether Maynard gets to be the choose actor or not.Olivia stopped what she was doing when a Knock came through the door. "Come in" She voices out, going back to what she was doing , not bothering to look at who just stepped in."So eager to leave uh!!" She looked up again as she heard Maynard's voice."What are you doing here?" "To make a proposal..!" He stated. "And what could that be?" She asked.Maynard cleared his throat noi
The premiere party started at a good pave with everyone vining to it's and celebrating to the success of the movie production.Olivia and Maynard already gave their speech and she found the bar the perfect spot to just sit and watch the others party.She ordered for a glass of non-alcoholic wine and kept sipping from it while gazing at those dancing, her mind racing with different thought. "Why would a pretty lady just sit all by herself and not enjoy the party with the others?" She turned as she heard Maynard's voice.He took the seat beside her. Olivia rolled her eyes and turned her gaze back to its initial position."Not in the mood to party. I'd rather just sit here and stare at the others.""Then I guess you wouldn't mind having a dance with me?"She scoffed loudly."No thanks!!..."From her side glance, she saw Maynard smirk, then he stood up and walked away. She knew he was up to something but but took her mind off Maynard and anything he's planning on doing.As if to disrupt
"Let go of me Maynard, I said let go of me!!!" Vernes kept screaming and struggling to free herself from Maynard's grip but his grip around her were firm. He looked really mad and didn't respond to her but just kept pulling her towards the car.Getting to the car, he pulled the door open and pushed her in roughly, not minding she accidentally bumped her head at the top of the car in the process. Then he went over the driver's sit and drove off in full speed.As he drove, he kept clenching and unclenching his fists against the steering wheel. Vernes had just humiliated him with her madness back there!! Dies she even know the number of persons who had recorded the whole scene? They're celebrities for goodness sake, even the tiniest thing that happens in public goes viral the next minute.Reaching home, he pulled over, went to the other side and pulled Vernes out, dragging her with him into the house."Let go of me! Let go of me!!" He didn't let go of her until they reached the room an
Maynard had barely settled down in his office when his secretary informed him that a certain Sage Salvatore was here to see him. He immediately asked his secretary to let him in. He stood up and faced the window, folding his hands to the back. Sage would not come into his office if it wasn't for sometime important and he knew exactly why. He turned when someone barged into his office without knocking. He tried to pull off the usual animosity and replaced it with a friendly look. Much like he's really not in the mood for any fights."What brings you to my office?" Maynard asked in a calm tone."Don't act like you don't know why I'm here?!.." Sage gritted out and immediately stumped towards Maynard, raising his fist in an attempt to give him a punch.Maynard caught the fist midway and swiftly twists his arms to the back, pulling it really hard to the extent Sage had to groan out in pain."Listen, I'm in no mood for a fist fight with you. Now, if that's all you're here to do, I'm gonna
"What? Never!!" Lucy stood up abruptly from her seat with a huge frown on her face.Even in her tenth life, she'd never speak to her sister about giving Maynard a chance. That's something she'd never do! "Sit down Lucy!!" Lucy didn't bulge!! If this is what he called her into his office to say, then she's not ready to listen."No matter the relationship we share, this is work and I'm still your boss. As your boss, I'm ordering you to sit down" He ordered firmly.Lucy grumbled inwardly and reluctantly sat down. Isn't it already enough that he's Maynard's friend, she should hate him for being the friend to the man that almost ruined her sisters life back then and causing her troubles now but no! One mistake of someone is not the mistake of another.Just because they're friends doesn't mean they're the same, right?"Why do you hate him so much?""You should know what he did to my sister Mark... You're his friend aren't you? I won't be surprised if you weren't the one advising him to go
Maynard felt weak in the knees when Olivia gave her final words and walked away. His eyes were fixed on her... Has he really lost the chance? Was he really too late? Just as Olivia got to her car and was about to get in, Maynard noticed a man dressed in black with a mask on, moving towards Olivia slowly and quietly with a ride in his hands.Maynard's heart skipped and his eyes grew open and he did the first thing that came to his mind and that was saving Olivia.He ran towards them pushed the man down before he could carry out his aim. If he was even a second late, Olivia would have been on the floor, groaning in pain.Maynard and the man got into a fist fight, he kept raining punches on the man's face annoyed that Olivia was almost attacked in his presence.Olivia's hands flew over to her mouth and she watched in shock. Wasn't this all over? Is she still being followed by the so-called stalker fan? It's been months since the last attack and since she moved in with Sage, there hasn'
Olivia had been furious regarding the immature behaviors from the two guys since last night. Like! The nerve of them to want to take control, one wants her and the other does too.Should she say that it felt like she was stuck in the middle, like a love triangle or something? What is she to do?Maynard was her ex-husband... Her relationship with him ended years back, now he claimed to have realized his mistakes and wants to have her back!... How hilarious to want to push his luck.Then, Sage... To her, he's just a friend! Countless times, she has made it clear to him where their relationship stands. She had tried loving him back or the very least, make her heart flatter by his presence. Well, her heart did flatter and that was before meeting Maynard. Right after she met Maynard, it seized and never for once did she feel butterflies in her tommy with sage around, but she did whenever Maynard comes close and even the two times they kissed. It felt like they have never been separated.
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
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
