I didn't want to base my answers on speculations. I needed to be told exactly what I needed to hear and I could only pray that she will continue with telling me truth and she won't lie to me. "Mom," looking at her, I asked. "Yes." Her reply was quite but brief. I know she was expecting what my response would be. She eagerly waited for my question while also praying that it won't be the type of question that would weaken her and make her spill every truth she held close to her. "Tell me something, did you know about the arranged marriage?" I asked and I didn't need to get a response from her because the joy on her face told me everything that I needed to know. "Yes I actually did. And that's a good thing isn't it? Daniel is going to ge married to that beautiful lady and they are going to live happily ever after." I arched an eyebrow. Did she actually believe that? Did she actually think that they were going to live together as a happy couple? If she was that good a woman, why didn
I froze in shock. The only thing on my mind was to know how much of what we had said that the man had listened to. What was happening was not good for us. It was not good for anything that my mother had plans about. The look on the man's face was also not one of happiness. I could tell that the man was more than livid with what was going on and he had every reason to be. The woman that he had proposed to, the woman that he loved just confessed to not wanting his son happiness and many other things. If I were the man, I would be angry as well. "Jared please let me explain," mom pleaded with hands joined together and a sober look on her face. "Oh I think you had done so much explanation to last a lifetime, don't you think so?" The man kept a cool appearance but we were not children. Mom and I knew very well that the man was boiling with anger. "Tell me how is it actually possible that you can be so self centered as to want only your happiness and no one else's? Look I understand tha
I knew I could not do anything that would make Sandra want to hurt Olivia. I have been with the woman before, I knew that she had some screw loose and because of that, I could not allow her to go close to Olivia. Especially since Olivia already considered her as a friend. If I should relent, I knew that she would not hesitate to actually wreck her and the little relationship that I was trying to build with the woman. I could not let that happen and so even if it meant me doing everything in my power and being humbled just to ensure that those two were not in contact with each other, then I would gladly do it. "Look at you. Look at the pathetic figure that you want to reduce yourself to because of a woman. A woman that doesn't have anything. Yes, I saw the bitch. She isn't prettier than I am, she isn't more elegant than me. She doesn't even have money and I am very much sure that her mother is getting married to your father just because of the money." "The same way you want to marry
From her looks I could tell that the young woman was not going to let this go so easily but I also knew that she valued the money and prestige she would get from us too much to allow her to do anything else. I had seen it all, I had seen her behave erratic just because she could not have me and I have watched her spread lies and rumours just for her benefit. She took after her mother and I would never say this but I could not let her know that I was the main reason why my father could never be with her mother. I knew for a fact that she took such ugly behaviour from the woman and it would be over my dead body before I would allow my father to marry into a family like that and ruin our chances of ever having a normal life. "Now if you don't mind, can you get out of my way so I can get out of here? I'm getting upset just by looking at your face!" I exclaimed but she didn't bother to move. She stood still, not saying a word and barely blinking. Suddenly, she bursted into laughter. "Y
If there was anything I hated more than anything else, it was being ordered around. Especially by someone who was not even worthy to be in the same position as me. I was not going to sit back and allow such nonsense happen to me. It was time I stood up for myself and made her understand that I wasn't some push over that she could insult and get away with. Slowly, I moved into her and watched as the grin on her face got wider. The girl was insane for acting thinking that I wanted to kiss her and I knew she thought that because she pouted her lips and slightly closed her eyes. She had all the signs of someone that has obviously lost their mind and if what it took for me to get her back to her normal senses was to give her some eye openers then I would. But I was not going to allow some arrogant woman to think that she can actually control me and detect how I should live my life. "Let me make the clear, maybe I wasn't before but if I catch you anywhere near Olivia, if I catch you tryi
I hadn't gone so far when I spotted Stacy coming my way. It would have been so nice if Sandra was the one sending those videos, at least then I would not have to try and act like I care about Stacy. I could get rid of her and end that chapter of my life. It would give me more time to focus only on Olivia and I was going to enjoy every bit of it. But for now, I had to put on a fake smile and act like I was actually happy to see her till I could use the knowledge she had to get what I wanted. Because I was very much sure that Stacy was not the one with the videos but something kept telling me that she would know how to find the person that owned it and I was not going to play with my gut feeling. "Hi baby," she said when she got close to me and she pulled me in for a tight hug. I hugged her back and smiled at her as well. "Are you okay? You are smiling but your eyes looks a bit angry." Even when she was a bitch, she also knew how to spot things out. She was quiet observant and I cou
The lights in her bedroom was on and I didn't think much about it even when everything in me was screaming at me to take it seriously. I ignored the feeling and took the elevator to the penthouse. As soon as I got in, I noticed that the apartment was a bit quiet and yet all I could hear was the ruffling of clothes and the sniffles of Olivia. My mind immediately went erratic and I wondered if somehow that man had found a way to get into my house and was busying harrasing my baby again. "Liv," I whispered under my breath as a cold shiver ran down my spine. I immediately knew that I had to do something. If she was actually in there with that mad dog, then I would have to save her. But I didn't want the man to suspect that anything was wrong, I didn't want him to think that for one second I knew what was going on or that someone was in the house with him. If I wanted to save Olivia, I had to catch him off guard. Slowly, I snuck into my room and took out the spare key to Olivia's room
"You do know that I am not going to allow you to go anywhere right," I told her, not blinking at all. "You can't stop me Daniel," she protested. I moved slowly towards her and she did not even try to move back. Leaning into her, I whispered, "Watch me," and then I pulled myself up again. "What the actual fuck do you want? Look you may not understand this now but I am telling you the honest truth, if you are not very careful, you will get burn with the way you are going," "The only thing that is actually going to burn me is having to watch you go be with that boyfriend of yours. If you want to leave, at least give me a reason for why you are leaving and don't just walk away like that." "You want a reason huh?" She asked. "Yes I do. Have I been speaking Spanish before?" I replied. "If you badly want a reason, then I suggest that you go home. That's right, go home to your father and he will be more than delighted to tell you everything. You know as a matter of fact, I bet he is ev
