Olivia ~•~Alexander asked the driver to take me to his house instead of mine for reasons best known to him. I didn’t protest against it. After a few minutes, we arrived at the house. Alexander’s car was already parked in the garage, so I knew he was inside. “Thank you for the ride.” I expressed my gratitude to the driver before making my way into the house. When I got into the house, I walked to the living room but I couldn’t find Alex. “Dining room!” He yelled loud enough for me to hear. With a nod, I turned around and walked to the dining room where I saw Alexander sitting with a glass of untouched water in front of him. “Why haven’t you touched your water?” I asked with an arched brow as I sat on the empty chair beside him. “Where did you run off to?” I added. He didn’t tell me where he went earlier, I just assumed he must have gone to confront Sandra. Alexander sighed and took a sip from the glass of water before clearing his throat. “I went to Sandra’s apartment. I wanted
Alexander ~•~ I was disappointed as Olivia turned me down but she was right, there was too much going on with us and it wasn’t the right time to get romantically involved with each other. But it still hurt, especially when she said nothing was going to happen between us while Sandra was still in the picture. Her words stung deeper than I expected, mostly because she knew the truth. The only reason Sandra was still in my life was because of our son, Jason. She knew damn well I would be the happiest person if somehow I found a way to get rid of Sandra. I didn't want Sandra around me, but her presence was like an invisible barrier keeping Olivia and me apart. I wanted to explain to her that Sandra’s presence didn’t mean anything but she was already overwhelmed by everything that had happened today and felt a certain type of way about Sandra. I was grateful when my phone rang. It was perfect timing. Normally, I would have been irritated by the interruption but this time, it was muc
Olivia ~•~ Somehow Sandra managed to escape jail time. Even if tried to convince Alexander to let it go, he insisted on pushing Diana and the other culprit to testify against Sandra. Initially, they agreed to testify against her but they switched up during the court hearing. So Sandra was free to walk around while Diana and the other culprit served jail time. I hoped she was going to learn from the incident and choose to be a better human being who had a tiny bit of sympathy. Alexander was busy making arrangements for Jason’s custody hearing. As for me, I had finally set up my office and started my event planning company.With the help of Amanda, David, and Alexander, I was able to make my dream come true. It has only been one week after the opening, but I have already gotten a good amount of clients. I also had an amazing staff who made everything easier for me at work. My alarm clock woke me up early in the morning, but I found myself sitting on the bed and reflecting on my l
Olivia~•~ I was proud of myself and my team as I admired the whole setup for the twin’s birthday. I also granted their wish by adding a few shallow kiddies’ pools by a side. It was going to be the best party they had ever had. I was so passionate about it and put a lot of work into decorating the hall. It was a costume/adventure party and they were going to love it. After making sure the location was set for the party, I expressed my gratitude to my team before heading out. I had to pick up the kids from school and pay a visit to my mother. I hadn’t seen her in a while and I thought to check up on her. As I drove to the kid's school, I called Alexander to make sure the parents of the children who were invited had RSVP’D. If it was left to me, there weren’t going to be a crowd at the party because I didn’t have too many people to invite. I didn’t have many friends or even acquaintances who had kids. But Alexander and Amanda helped with the invitation. It still wasn’t a large cro
Olivia ~•~Alexander insisted on taking the kids to their party. Amanda was already there to ensure that everything went smoothly. I went over to my mum’s house to pick her up so we could attend together. When I arrived at the house, she was having lunch. “Mum, you know there’s plenty of food at the party. You don’t have to eat before going there.” I said with a chuckle as I settled down beside her at the dining table. My mum laughed. “I’m sorry, I just didn’t have anything to eat for breakfast.” She raised her hands in mock surrender. I picked up a cutlery from the table and joined her in eating. I couldn’t resist eating my mum’s food. One could say she was the best cook in the whole world. “Are you sleeping better now?” I asked when we were done eating. After gulping a glass of water, my mother cleared her throat and began. “Sometimes, yes. But it’s better than those days when I couldn’t get any sleep during the night.” “That’s a start, everything will be back to normal soon
Alexander Burke ~•~I picked up the kids from their house because I wanted to be the one to drive them to their birthday party. They were both dressed up as Minnie and Mickey from their favorite cartoon show. On our way there, I received a call from my sister. “Caroline, what’s going on?” I asked as I answered the call on speaker. “I just wanted to apologize for being absent today. I really wanted to attend the kid's party, since it was their first time celebrating with you.” I brushed it off with a dismissive wave. “It’s okay, Caroline. You’ve already apologized like three times.” I responded with a soft chuckle. Caroline was meant to fly in from California but something came up and she got stuck there. She felt guilty, so she wouldn’t stop apologizing even though I reassured her that everything was okay. “Can I speak to the kids?” She asked and I passed the phone over to the kids who were sitting in the back seat. They talked for a few minutes and she wished them a happy birth
Olivia ~•~I let out a relieved sigh as I saw Alexander’s car behind us through the rearview mirror. I didn’t say a thing to Ethan who sat beside me. I couldn’t believe he would cause a scene at my kid's party. He couldn’t wait until it was over before starting anything. He always found a way to make my life miserable. And what did he even mean by getting me arrested for the murder of Caleb? Who the fuck was Caleb? I wanted to ask him about it but I decided to wait until we got to the station. I could feel Ethan’s eyes on me but I didn’t turn around to look at him. I was certain that he had a lot of hatred for me and Alexander because we made him stay in jail for five months. Maybe this was an act of revenge but he deserved being in jail. He caused it upon himself and ruined five months of his life. If Ethan was a sensible person, he was meant to move back to California as soon as he was released from prison. But no, he decided to stay and cause more trouble, as if he hadn’t alr
Olivia ~•~Christmas has always been my favorite holiday. Even if everything was falling apart in my life, the holiday cheer always brought me a little bit of relief. But this year, I was grateful everything was going smoothly, even if the previous months were hell. I had finally gotten rid of Ethan. He had moved back to California and I filed a restraining order against him for me and my family. My focus was now on taking care of the kids and ensuring my business was successful. I had a lot of events to plan and it distracted me from thinking about all the traumatic things I had been through in the past months. As I sat at my desk, reviewing details for an upcoming event, my phone buzzed. I picked it up to see that it was Maya calling. “Hey, baby girl.” I greeted her warmly as I answered the call. Maya responded with a soft chuckle. “How are you doing?” “I’m good, I can’t wait to see you.” I squealed in excitement like a child who just got her favorite toy as a Christmas presen
