Lucy laid quietly, staring at the doctor who kept doing his thing and had a don't smile plastered on his lips.She was kinda shocked and confused at the same time. That face, it looked really familiar, like she has seen it somewhere, but where? She couldn't place it.As much as she wanted to over look it and conclude that she's just mixing things up, she couldn't... She's held bent on finding out why he's so familiar.Like a flash, it clicked.. She recalled exactly where she saw that face. It was exactly a week ago at the dinner meeting Mark took her to.It's the stranger she had bumped into which led to her fight with Mark. What was he doing here? Obviously, it's quite a foolish questions to ask because even a lame man would clearly see that he has a white coat on with a stethoscope around his neck and that makes him a doctor, right?"Leave us!" He said to the nurses who stared at him awkwardly, but he glared at them
A MONTH LATER!After everything that happened, Mark felt like he has completely lost it. Of course he has! He has lost everything due to his carelessness. He lost his parents.. They won't even look at him twice, just like he suddenly turned into a stranger. He was ripped off his position as the CEO and every other position he held. His credit card has been frozen... He has automatically gone broke.That's less of his concern right now. His major concern is his inability to sleep at night. The only time he does is with the help of sleeping pills.He was loosing it completely.. If be doesn't speak with Lucy, he'd never get over the nemesis of karma. Karma really gas no pity at all. it's really too much for him to handle.He continued to pace to and fro in front of Lucy's apartment. He felt really antsy and he kept sweating profusely as he thought of what her reaction would be!! Would she talk to him? Would she even lis
Lucy stood against the door with her eyes tightly shut. Her heat was pounding really fast and so she tried to calm her nerves as much as she can.She couldn't believe she just had a talk with Mark. It's unbelievable."You shouldn't have talked to him if you didn't want to. I didn't want you to speak to him, that's why I lied about him being a stranger"Lucy opens her eyes, sighed and went to sit on the Sofa, Olivia did too."I know, but I just had to speak with him and make everything clear to him.. Now, he has gotten his answers from the horse's mouth... Now, he knows how much I despise him. I'm Sure he won't ever come back"Olivia sighed and shrugged. " He looks pitiful tho""I agree, so pitiful to earn everyone's sympathy. So do you understand what I mean by saying there's no better and sweeter punishment than that of Karma?.."Olivia shook her head negatively, still not underst
Olivia drove in full speed to Maynard's home after she got a text from him which seemed so scary.He had asked her to come over, saying there's something important. She tried calling him but he wasn't picking up her calls and it got her extremely worried.She rushed into his home, searching the entire living room but didn't get a glimpse of him. She has no idea why she's so worried, Maybe it's just because 9f the fact that she's curious as to what the important thing is."Maynard? Where are you?" She called but got no response."Maynard?.":She called out again and rather than getting a response, she heard a loud bang, coming from the direction of his room.Getting really scared, she rushed upstairs, taking the stairs in pairs. As she got to his room, she barged in without bothering to knock.As soon as she got in, she felt a hand pull her to a corner, startling her a bit.She expected him to look worried or something, but she found him smirking."Maynard, you...""I got you worried di
Olivia met with Maynard's gaze, staring down at her just as she woke up. She blushed really hard and moved the duvet over her face.He pulled the duvet off her face and leaned closer. "Let me stare at your face more, I can't get enough of your beauty!"Olivia scoffed and rolled her eyes. Hearing him say those words and act like an highschool lover boy sounds ridiculous."Stop being silly!!" She pushed him away and made to get off the bed but he held her arm, pulling her back, making her fall on him."Tell me, what is your one wish?" He asked, making her frown in confusion." I've always had that one wish which never changes. If I do disclose it, then it's no longer a wish"" Am I part of that wish? Or perhaps, the future? " He asked again." Why are you suddenly asking me that? " she asked." Because, I know that deep down you still find it hard to trust me most especially since the man that hurt your sister so badly is someone I call my best friend.. "Olivia laughed.." Why would you
Asking the nurse at the reception desk for a patient named Vernes Traydor, Olivia and Maynard rushed to the ward after being directed.Pushing the door open and stepping in, they halt in their movement while staring at Vernes who laid on the bed with series of medications attached to her body."Are you Maynard Sanchez?" A doctor said, turning everyone's attention to them, including Vernes."Maynard.!!" Vernes called in a weak tone.Holding Olivia's hands, Maynard moved closer to Vernes, staring at her like it's actually so unbelievable seeing her on a sick bed and being so weak.The Vernes he knows hardly ever gets sick or act so weak, it's so hard to believe."What seem to be the problem doctor?" He asked, turning away from Vernes." Well, the patient right here has been diagnosed with a liver cancer which seemed to be at it's last stage. "" What? " Both Maynard and Olivia gasped in shock. "Liver cancer!!?""Yes, liver cancer! Her health is deteriorating petty fast"Maynard glanced
Vernes could hear the sound of Maynard's car driving away, she quickly pushed the duvet away and lifted herself up in a sitting position, stretching out her limbs."Goodness!! Acting like a sick person to convince everyone can be so frustrating and tiring but she's glad she pulled it off.Seeing the look on Maynard's face.. She could tell that he actually bought her acting. Same goes to Olivia as well. They actually believed that she's cancerous and would be dying soon!whereas, she's hale and hearty and won't be dying anytime soon.Vernes let out an hysterical laughter. So this is what happened... The past few months, Vernes had decided lay low for a while and think of a good plan to bring both Maynard and Olivia down. She swore over her dead body that if she can't have Maynard, then no one else will have him.It's her wish to see that he doesn't end up with Olivia. They're divorced and should remain divorced.Just recently, she came up with two brilliant ideas and decided to carry o
Olivia drove straight home, thinking about what the nurses told her. It wasn't a surprise to her as she's sure that Vernes would do everything in her power to have Maynard back.Obviously, she didn't expect her to just sit back and do nothing. Most villans on these soap operas would do anything in their power to have that man to themselves. It's reality and Vernes would do just that.As a matter of fact, that's what she's about doing. Gaining Maynard's sympathy, but there's something else that's more fishy, Vernes would not just stop at being pitiable to Maynard, there's something more up her sleeves and that's what she needs to find out.After threatening the nurses about reporting them to the police, they decided to help her out by giving her every info regarding what Vernes is up to.She does not care how they do it but all she wants is to be a step ahead of Vernes in everything she's doing. All she knows is that what ever Vernes is up to, It's something that has to put either Mayn
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
