Olivia stared pointedly at the dresses in front of her as she tried her best to decide which of the two to pack into the suitcase sitting on the bed in the room behind her. The first one was a simple black dress with beautiful white floral patterns that were designed to draw attention. She usually only wore this whenever she was being dragged by Lisa to some sort of dysfunctional family event that the latter did not really want to go to but had no choice but to attend. That way, most of the attention would be focused on Olivia herself and leaving Lisa out of her family's scrutiny.

The memories made Olivia smile a little as she ran an examining hand down the second dress; a long flowing gown with long billowy sleeves that Lisa had once said made Olivia look like a ghost. This one was the one Olivia preferred on a personal level but with the way the weather was turning warm, it might be too warm to wear something like this considering where they would be going.

    Just like Noah had said, an order soon arrived for Olivia, and as expected it was a full wardrobe change neatly arranged in suitcases, so that she didn't need to bother packing them anymore. Noah was definitely trying hard, and realizing that brought an uncanny smile to Olivia's lips. Now certain that all the things she needed were ready and in place, she got straight to readying herself for the journey. She genuinely had no idea how she was going to be received after all these years. The Grants never really cared for her, and she doubted she had any semblance of love for them either. They had seen her suffer abuse at Noah's hands throughout the duration of their marriage ten years ago and had done absolutely nothing. She had no idea what she had expected from them back then, it had been clear from her courtship days with Noah that the Grants didn't care for anything that didn't add more money to their pockets. Olivia chose a simple black dress from the wardrobe, the fabric soft and

    For a family that was full of self righteous, snobbish rich bastards, the Grants certainly had a clear taste of opulence that could not be denied. There was a certain degree of arrogance that could be found no matter where Olivia looked in the entire compound. Whether it was one of the numerous glass fountains that looked like each of them cost as much as a house, or the pure marble statues that were positioned throughout the sectioned gardens, the wealth of the Grant family was always being shoved in one's face, without an inch of subtlety to lessen the impact. The household help were the first set of people to greet them at the gates after Noah parked the car. The group of maids, all with their professional smiles that were so polite that they could not possibly be genuine, swarmed the couple and within seconds, all their luggage had been moved into the house. Noah led Olivia with a hand at the small of her back towards the mansion. She paused for a moment when they reached the

  • My Billionaire Ex Husband Wants Me Back   A Small Misunderstanding

    Olivia and Noah had just a couple minutes of rest before heading down to the dinning room to join the rest of the family for dinner. Their arrival had definitely stirred up something in the air, one that Olivia couldn't quite place her finger on. However, she was determined to deal with whatever might come her way during the next couple of days. There had been a bit of muttering coming from the large hall, however, the moment Noah and Olivia entered the space, there had been pin drop silence for a straight minute. Every eye in the room was fixed on them, and although Olivia did her best to maintain a neutral expression, there was no shaking off the amount of tension that had suddenly enveloped the whole space. "Welcome." Arthur said, breaking the awkward silence momentarily. While Olivia remained indifferent to Arthur's words, Noah had responded with a simple nod before helping Olivia with her sit on the long mahogany table that stretched nearly the length of the room. The surface

    Angry and tired, Olivia rushed to her room and immediately slammed the door shut upon arrival. Noah wasn't back yet, and she couldn't be more grateful for that. She had no idea how she was going to deal with him and his obsession while she was this heated. Damian definitely had some nerves to threaten her, especially after everything he had done. But that wasn't what bothered Olivia the most at the moment. Damian had said something, a sentence that Michael had made but she never paid attention to it. "You're growing softer for Noah." Were those words really true? Was she really growing soft for Noah? No, there's no way that could be true. Sure, she was getting better at her acting, but that didn't mean that she had fallen for Noah, or had forgiven him for what he had put her through those years. She had been pregnant with his child, and he hadn't cared. She had lost her baby due to health complications she had developed because of his maltreatment, and even while she was on the ver

    Olivia sighed a little as the floor boards beneath her creaked mildly under the weight of her body as she quietly made her way through the halls of the mansion. There was almost no staff still up in the house at this hour of the night, although Olivia could not really be too sure about anything here. Well, except for one thing, that is. Olivia was already sure that she should not have taken Noah's offer to come with to on this trip. It would be Thanksgiving Day within a couple of hours, and yet all Olivia had actually been able to accomplish since she arrived here was to be subject to different forms of antagonism and disregard. This was exactly how she had expected to be treated by the Grants anyway, but experiencing it firsthand was proving to be a bit more than she had expected. And now the one person that had been in her corner right from the moment they arrived through those gates, Olivia had pretty much told him to leave her alone. The memory of what had happened at their r

    It had been a long and tiring stay with the Grants, and Olivia couldn't wait to return home. Thanksgiving dinner had gone well, and while Damian did his best to stir up some drama, Noah was always present to shut him down. Olivia could tell that Damian was growing desperate, and that clearly wasn't a good thing. She still couldn't figure out how to shut the man up, so the best thing to do at the moment was probably keep her distance. With a proud look on her face, Olivia finished with her suitcase, leaving it aside for one of the helps to take it downstairs. She had wished for this day ever since she stepped foot in the Grant's family house. This visit definitely had its peaks, but the hostility and clear disregard for her made everything look like a big mistake for Olivia. "You're done packing already?" Said Noah as he walked into the room. With two long and quick successful strides, he closed the distance between Olivia and himself. Throwing his arms around her waist, he pulled he

    Lisa paused by one of the windows in her living room to catch a glimpse of the ongoing argument that we currently happening on the front porch of the house right beside hers. The building was owned by an elderly couple who were the oldest people in the neighborhood. The both of them had an unusual relationship, the kind that was filed with all sorts of emotions. They always quarreled with each other, but none of their fights ever lasted more than a few hours before they were speaking to each other again like nothing had even happened. Although Lisa did not really look it, she was a sucker for romances. That was why she was so fixated on Noah. She had been there when Olivia had been with him the first time and Lisa had seen the true potential in the man. Her attraction to him had been quick and nearly destructive, but unfortunately for her Olivia had been the one who had drawn Noah's eyes then. Even though she was friends with the other woman, Lisa had been more than elated when Olivi

    The clicking of perfectly manicured nails on the keyboard of the computer was the only sound that had filled Olivia's office for the last hour and a half. The woman sighed as she typed out another document and pushed it into an email to be sent out later. Even though her company allowed employees to take breaks for Thanksgiving, many of them often chose not to take it and now Olivia was being reminded why. Since it was so close to Christmas, taking a break then would only serve to stockpile the work load into the little time available before the mandatory Yuletide break. "That's what I get for dealing with a prick like Noah," she muttered to herself under her breath. If she had not gone along with his idea to visit his family, she and Michael would have had a much better time here where she could still do a little work in the process. Now she had her entire schedule packed up with all sorts of things that she could barely keep track of. But even though her work was taking up so much

  • My Billionaire Ex Husband Wants Me Back   The Announcement

    Olivia made sure to inform Michael and Damian about Noah's intent to announce her pregnancy to his family. They were set to travel later that day, and she had already gotten her things packed. After learning of the plan, Damian had immediately gotten prepared and set off for home. To make sure that Noah didn't get suspicious of him and Olivia, he knew he still had to pretend to be the villain. It was crucial that they didn't get caught, especially when the final hearing was barely two weeks away. Two hours after his arrival, Noah and Olivia's car pulled into the driveway. Noah was the first to step out, a steady and warm smile spread across his face as he opened the door for Olivia. "Thank you." She whispered before locking arms with Noah. Just like the man beside her, Olivia was forced to put on a bright smile. She hated being here, she hated anything that had ties with the Grant family, and their family home was the epitome of everything she despised. Regardless, she kept her tru

    The past week had been nothing short of hell for Olivia. The mere fact that she had to sleep and wake up beside the man who she knew for certain had killed her friend was already enough to ruin her entire day, now the police didn't seem to be taking Lisa's case seriously anymore. To them this was just a simple robbery gone wrong, and since they had no lead on who the culprit might be, there was little they could do. Olivia fought back the urge she had to scream out her lungs. She just couldn't believe what was happening, life was just unfair, and the evil ones always seemed to be winning. She was tired of it, but she knew that she couldn't let her rage get to her. The last thing she wanted was for her to tip Noah off especially now that she was so close to achieving her plan. Noah on the other hand couldn't care any less about Lisa's death. His wounds had healed considerably, and now that he didn't have to wear bandages anymore, he wanted to take things to the next level with Olivia

  • My Billionaire Ex Husband Wants Me Back   Get Him Back!

    Noah immediately drove to see his doctor the moment he finished with Lisa. But before he left, he had instructed his men to make sure no evidence of him entering the apartment was found. They had cleaned Lisa's body well, making sure that Noah's DNA would not be found anywhere on her body, as well as cleared any security footage. Afterwards, his men had staged a robbery and had made sure that they were witnesses who would claim that Lisa had indeed died at the hands of a robber. As Noah drove back home, he prepared himself for the torrent of questions that he would definitely receive from Olivia. He would have to explain the bandages wrapped around his head, and he would also have to explain where he had been all this while. He knew for sure that she would have already received news of Lisa's death by now. And judging by the time, Noah already expected her to be home by now. After more than half an hour of driving, Noah finally arrived home. As he had expected, Olivia was home, her

  • My Billionaire Ex Husband Wants Me Back   She's Dead

    Olivia felt her blood run cold the moment the police officer announced to her that Lisa was dead. At first she thought it was all some sort of prank, but the sound of ambulances in the background was enough to convince her that this might not be a joke. "W..what are you talking about? What are you saying?!" Olivia stammered as she forced her body to stop trembling. How on earth did this happen? Why? How?"I understand that you're in shock, but I'll need you to calm down ma'am. Right now we don't have the full details of the story, and we'll need your help if we're going to get to the bottom of it." The officer on the other side calmed Olivia. They had gone through Lisa's phone, and from the data collected from her device, they had enough material that suggested Olivia was her closest friend. So far it looked like a murder, and some witnesses had reported seeing a hooded man enter her apartment minutes before they heard a gunshot. The shattered glass and scattered living room suggest

    Noah had thought that after his warning, Lisa would finally learn her place and stop interfering in his plans. But after receiving a call from his henchmen, informing him that Damian had recently gone to visit Lisa, Noah had finally come to the conclusion that he could no longer let Lisa stay around any longer. He had warned her more than enough times, but she had simply refused to listen to his words. Slipping a pistol and a silencer into his pocket, Noah made his way towards his car. He needed to pay Lisa a visit, and this visit was necessary in order to shut her up for good. Lisa had made it clear that she wouldn't stop being a burden to his plans, and Noah was simply sick and tired of tolerating her acts of insolence and defiance. Noah's mind wandered as he drove towards Lisa's apartment. He wondered how Olivia was going to react to the news of hearing that Lisa was dead, and if it was going to affect her pregnancy in any way. The last thing he wanted was to jeopardize her heal

    Damian made it to Olivia's office after thirty minutes of being on the road. Lisa's words had given him a little bit of hope, now all that was left was for him to confirm things with Olivia. If they happened to be true, he would do all that he could to help her out. Lisa was right, he was the one gaining the most from all of this, and because of that he needed to show efforts in taking Noah down. Getting down from his car, he rushed into the main building, hoping and praying that Olivia had come to work today. He had barely finished with the receptionist when he was approached by a figure he wasn't quite familiar with. However, Michael knew exactly who Damian was, and he had recognized him the moment he laid eyes on him. "Is there something you want, Damian Grant?" Michael asked with raised brows and mild hostility. He didn't want to judge Damian because of Noah, but it had become impossible to think about the Grants without immediately assuming that they were up to something bad.

    Damian could feel his anxiety growing as the days passed. His final court hearing with Noah was approaching soon, and so far he was on the losing end of the game. There was barely a month left before they got down to the final stages of the succession crisis. He had run out of ideas on what to do, and it seemed like Olivia wasn't making much progress with her plans.He got down from his bed, confused and feeling miserable. There wasn't much he could do anymore, and he hated that more than anything. If he lost, Noah was going to take everything and leave him with nothing, and he simply just couldn't sit still and let that happen. He needed to speak with Olivia, to know exactly where she was headed to with this plan of hers. Getting down from the bed, Damian entered the bathroom and immediately freshened up. He had been in town ever since Noah and Olivia got attacked, but hadn't made his presence known to anybody. He had been watching Noah and Olivia from the shadows, and the things he

    Noah was the last person Olivia had expected to come to her office, and quite frankly she didn't know how she didn't see it coming. She should have expected it, Noah was never going to let her go without trying to know everything that she was up to. She was grateful for her secretary, if it weren't for her, Noah would have caught her in Michael's office, being intimate with the man."There was no need for you to come here, Noah." Olivia argued as she lifted her head up from the system that she was barely using. "I was worried, pregnant women shouldn't be in the office, Liv. You should be at home, resting—""I am fine, Noah! How many times do I need to tell you that?!" Olivia interjected sharply, annoyed and angry that Noah wouldn't just let her live her life in peace. What was up with him anyway?! "You should go back home, you're distracting me from work, and there isn't really anything for you to do here." Noah sat still, contemplating on whether or not he should confront Olivia ab

  • My Billionaire Ex Husband Wants Me Back   What Is She Up To?

    Although Noah had a feeling that Olivia was not going to work, he hadn't expected that she would be heading for Lisa's home. He had paid some of his henchmen to keep an eye on Lisa ever since the day she told him that she was pregnant. And today, they had called to tell him that Olivia just pulled up to Lisa's apartment, and had spent more than half an hour inside with Lisa as well. He had immediately prepared himself and had driven straight to Lisa's. Olivia was already gone by the time he arrived, but that didn't stop him from entering the complex, and heading straight for Lisa's home. He wanted to know what they had discussed, and he needed to know why Olivia had come here. Without knocking, he stormed in and entered the room to find Lisa on the couch, holding a half glass of champagne and watching television."You son of a bitch—" Lisa's words were drowned out by the shock of seeing Noah in her living room. Her surprise soon turned to rage, and she hurled the glass in her hand
