Olivia ~•~“So you still don’t know your plans for tomorrow?” Ethan asked as he walked me out of the office to my car. It was the weekend and I had no idea what I was going to do. I shook my head. “I don’t have anything planned. I’ll just stay at home with the kids.” I replied as I unlocked the car door. Ethan placed a kiss on my forehead. “Let’s do something tomorrow with the kids. Maybe go to a nice restaurant for lunch.” Ethan suggested and I shrugged. “I don’t know about that.” Yes, Ethan was close to the kids, but I didn’t think it was a good idea to go out for lunch with him and the kids since Alexander was still around. Ethan’s brows furrowed. “Why?” He asked, with a puzzled expression registered on his face. “Is it because of Alexander?” I didn’t want to talk about Alexander and I didn’t want him to press further, so I decided to agree to having lunch with him. “We can do lunch tomorrow, the kids will be happy about it.” Ethan’s face lit up with a warm smile, clearly
Olivia ~•~“Mama, Uncle Ethan is here!” Rowan burst into my room, his voice bubbling with excitement. “And Mama, your dress is beautiful.” He added, staring at me with admiration. I smiled with pride. “Thank you, sweetie,” I replied, feeling grateful for his kind words. “Tell Uncle Ethan I’ll be out soon,” I said, giving Rowan a gentle nudge towards the door. When Rowan left, I did the last part of my makeup and walked over to the floor-length mirror to see my final look. Rowan was right, I looked so good. With a final glance in the mirror, I grabbed my bag and headed for the living room. As I walked outside, all eyes were on me. “You look so stunning!” Ethan confessed, a hint of admiration in his voice. Riley chimed in with a beaming smile. “My mama is so beautiful.” I blushed, taken aback by their kind words. My simple black bodycon dress with a subtle slit had made a bigger impact than I anticipated.“Thank you, guys,” I said in appreciation, meaning every single word. “Shal
Olivia ~•~“Stay inside the car,” I instructed Ethan before walking towards Alexander and the kids. Lunch was already messy and Alexander's showing up made it worse. “What are you doing here?” I asked, my brows crippled in disbelief. “I specifically asked you to wait until tomorrow but you still showed up anyway.” Alexander’s tone turned defensive. “You lied about who you were going to lunch with.” I did lie, but that wasn’t the point. The point was that he didn’t listen to me. He just did whatever he felt like doing. How did he even know where I was? “Alexander, how did you know our location?” I narrowed my eyes at him, wondering what he would say. Was he watching me? “I had no idea you were here, I only came out to grab lunch,” Alexander responded but I could tell he wasn’t being honest. He probably found my location and figured we were having lunch with Ethan, then he showed up to cause havoc. “If you say so. You could’ve just pretended like you didn’t see us, and walked in
Olivia ~•~“Maya, can you please come over?” I begged immediately after she answered the call. I had been trying to reach her for over an hour but she wasn’t responding. “Olivia, what’s going on? Have you been crying?” My slightly cracked voice must’ve given Maya a hint. “I’m sorry, I was busy earlier, so I couldn’t pick up the phone.” I sniffed back my tears before speaking again. “I have no idea.” The thought of everything that happened made me want to tear up. I also didn’t want to talk about it over the phone. “Please can you just come?” I asked, a hint of urgency in my voice. “Sure. I’m on my way.” With that, I hung up the call and resumed crying in my pillow. I had tried Ethan’s number several times but he still didn’t respond. He only sent me a text, saying he would send his driver to drop off the kids later in the evening. Was it that bad that he didn’t want to see me anymore? I started to regret my actions. I could’ve told Ethan about it as soon as it happened. I could
Alexander~•~I knew I wanted Olivia back but I never imagined myself doing something like this. I felt she wasn’t being completely honest about who she was having lunch with, so I decided to pay someone to spy on her. I let my emotions get the best of me when I found out she was having lunch with Ethan and MY kids at an Italian restaurant. The fact that she lied about it made me more upset. I thought about what to do for a while. I was skeptical about showing up unannounced but I decided to pretend I was just going to have lunch and the meeting was a coincidence. A frown formed on my face when I saw the twins inside Ethan’s car. Ethan’s confrontation fueled my rage and I didn’t know when I spilled the information about the kiss between me and Olivia. I wanted to flex on him because I felt he was doing too much. But as I looked at Olivia, I knew I’d gone too far. The jury in her eyes told me she wouldn’t forgive me easily.After they all left the restaurant, I went inside the res
Olivia ~•~Just as I was about to park in front of his gate, my phone flashed with a notification saying I had a new text. I unlocked my phone to see it was from Sandra. [Stay away from my man, Olivia! Leave him alone or I’ll deal with you.] I rolled my eyes in annoyance as though she was present in the car with me. Was she seriously threatening me? The bitch had a lot of nerve to even contact me. How did she even get my number? I was already having a bad day and her text just made everything worse. “What the fuck?” I sighed inwardly. If only she knew how badly I wanted her self-acclaimed man to leave California. Frustrated, I dialed the number. I needed to warn her about the nonsense she just did. I watched as the phone rang continuously but I was pretty sure she didn’t have the nerves to pick up her phone. “Stupid bitch.” I cursed through gritted teeth before ending the call and stepping out of the car. I walked to the gate and knocked gently. As soon as the security saw me,
Olivia ~•~Alexander couldn’t stop blowing up my phone. Even when I blocked his number, he constantly called and texted me with a new number. He even called me through Caroline. After she convinced me to just listen to him, I agreed to meet up with him the next day. However, I asked him to come over to my house. I didn’t want to be seen with him in public. Even though Ethan was mad at me, I already assured him that I wasn’t going to speak with Alexander anymore. When I woke up that morning, I called the kid's nanny and asked her if she could watch them for some time. Luckily enough, she agreed even if it was her day off. I didn’t want the kids to be around when Alexander would arrive. I didn’t want them to hear us arguing. I had a lot of anger coursing through me and I didn’t want to lash out in front of them. After preparing for the day, I drove the kids over to their nanny’s house. “I’ll miss you, mama,” Riley said, her voice tinged with sadness.Initially, she didn’t want to
Olivia ~•~I opened the front door and asked him to leave, but he refused and closed it back. “I’m not going anywhere, Olivia.” He said firmly as he hovered around me. My heart began racing. “Alexander, please leave.” I tried to sound firm but my voice was barely above a whisper. Ethan was right, I couldn’t resist Alexander. I didn’t know how I got there. I was really mad at him earlier in the day but now he was making me weak in my knees. He lifted my chin and looked me into my eyes. “I’ve missed you, Olivia.” He said, his hot breath fanning my face. “You should relax, your heart is beating fast.” He cupped my cheeks and rubbed his over my skin, sending shivers down my spine. I tried to pull away but it was as though my legs were glued to the spot. “Alexander, please,” I whispered again, my voice trembling. “I know I messed up but I can’t lose you again.” He added, his eyes burning with intensity. “I’ll fight for you, Olivia.” He leaned closer, his lips brushing against mine.
