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
Dad stood in awe, shocked that I could say such words to him. Before I knew what was happening, he walked up to me and landed a very dirty slap across my face. My head spun to the left with the impact of the slap and I fight the sting across my face. I was boiling at this point. What gave him the right to think that he can cheat on Olivia's mother and also slap me for calling him out on his bullshit? I thought he was a straight forward man. If I had known that he is nothing but a deceiver, then maybe I would have just stopped listening to anything that he had to say back then but instead of doing that, I was busy believing every word that came out of his mouth. I trusted him as a father. I held him in high prestige and I believed that he could never hurt anyone and now, he was doing something as stupid as this. I could not believe it and the more I thought about it, the more angry and upset I got. No matter what he did, I was going to stand by the truth and let him know that he is
"She did what?!" I asked, boiling in anger. "And she did it just to get into my life and enjoy my wealth and also create a good future for her daughter." "What?!" I excalimed as I jumped out of the bed in anger. "Wait dad are you actually saying that she framed mom to make it look like she cheated on you and she did this only because she wanted to get a good life for her and her bratty daughter?" All feelings of affection that I had for Olivia went flying out the window and all I was left with now was anger. "No, that's not what I am saying." Dad interjected and I could not wrap my head around what was actually happening. "Okay, what are you actually talking about then?" "I am saying that Deborah seduced me into falling out of love with your mother and when I wanted to go marry Stacy's mother, she was the one who came to me and told me that it's a terrible idea. She convinced me that she loved me sincerely and she cannot see me being with another person and she was the person wh
I knew that the words I had spoken had sunk deep into her and it made me happy. Immediately I got into my car and drove to the bar. Olivia's POVI dragged the bag that I was holding as I moved to Alex's house. He didn't send the address to me, but through the help of some detective skills that I had, I was able to get his address off the internet and I went to meet him. I knew he would be delighted to see me, after all, he had been trying to get me to come to his house for ages now and finally, he was going to get his wish. I knew that it would be a perfect opportunity for me to finally get to be with him and stay away from the stress that Daniel was causing me. I only wished that I had gotten the right place and the internet didn't lie to me. As soon as I got into the apartment, I knew that I had landed in the right place. I didn't need anyone to tell me twice. The ambience of the environment was so sophisticated and I just knew that this was going to be the place I walked up to

Alex walked slowly towards me and the same creepy smile he always had on was still on his face. "Olivia, now please tell me that this young man is joking and everything that he is saying is nothing but a lie. Please tell me that." He begged but I stood still, not knowing what to say to him. "Alex, you need to calm down," I said softly with my head bent low. I didn't need to look up and see his face to know that he was angry. His voice alone did the job of telling me all about that. But I knew that sooner than later, I would have to look at him and with the way my heart was racing, I told myself that it would be better if I was able to get him to calm down before I looked at him again. It would be better for my heart and I won't have to deal with calming two very angry men. "When you are talking to me at least have the decency of looking at me!" He bellowed and a shiver ran down my spine. I could not begin to understand just what was happening. "Oh she cant look at you." Daniel's
"What?" I whispered to myself as I heard the words coming out of his mouth. I didn't understand what he was talking about and for a moment, I desperately wished that it would not mean what I was thinking that it did."What are you talking about?" I asked Daniel, wanting to know more about the things he meant by those words. "You heard me very correctly dear sister. I believe you haven't gone deaf since you decided to be cruel to me and my family," he said happily. I could tell that he was enjoying my pain. He was enjoying the fact that my entire relationship was about to come falling to the ground. But he had always wanted that to happen and so I knew that I could not trust him, immediately I turned to Alex, hoping that he would give me news that was totally different from what he was actually talking about. I badly wanted it to be a lie but when I turned to Alex, I could see that his head was hung low and something told me that was not a good sign. He should be defending himself a
I rushed over to the location she sent to me as fast as I could. Only for me to get there and see her standing by the road, waiting for me. As soon as she saw me highlighting from my car, she moved towards a restaurant and I followed her. But she didn't sit, instead she moved to the backroom and I wondered why they would just allow her to go in there. Doesn't one need some sort of punishment to get in there? I decided that I was not in the place to ask. After all, I had come there for something much more important. Finally, I was going to put an end to the madness that was happening because of those pictures. "Good afternoon ma, how may I help you today?" Stacy was stopped at the entrance to the backroom by a petite looking girl wearing a uniform. "I am here with this handsome man," she said and brought out a card and showed it to the woman. The woman nodded her head immediately and opened the door for her. "Would you be needing anything as you stay ma?" She asked. "No, I won't

"Liv, trust me when I tell you this, we will not get anyway if you keep lying to me like this. Just tell me what you know and we can work together to get you out of whatever mess you are in," I said calmly. I needed her to see me in the light of a big brother and I was desperate to get her to trust me. It was very obvious to me that she won't though and no matter what I tried, it won't get her to change her mind. But I hoped that it will. "You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Listen to me when I tell you this okay, I don't know or have any kind of information. I should even be the one asking you all these questions since you are the one who actually brought me out of my house to come here on such a short notice. Now can you please just tell me what you know so that I can go." "Liv." "Daniel, for fuck's sake, you said that I am in trouble! Now tell me what kind of trouble it is because I am really fighting hard now to believe that you did not just lie to me just t
"Daniel?" Tony called out but I was no longer interested in anything he had to say. I needed to get to Olivia. I had to tell her everything I knew. The sooner I did it, the better it would be for me"I will have to go now. I'll talk to you later, okay?" I said as I walked out Immediately I was outside, I placed a call across to her. Thankfully, she picked on the first ring"I don't care where you are right now but I need you to come meet me. I can't explain everything over the phone but I need to see you right now," I said and I could tell that I was scaring her"What's going on?" She asked but I was not about to answer her over the phone"Look, I really can't say much now and I can't talk over the phone but I need you to come meet me right now Liv.""You are seriously scaring me Daniel. What's going on?""I need to be sure that you are safe. Meet me at where we agreed. I will be there in like an hour time," I said. "You will be there right?" I heard hesitation in her voice before
Tony waited patiently till Reuben had left before he walked up to me and said, "You know you should have told him everything you know, right?" He said. "I did tell him everything I know man." I answered him as I walked to get a cup of water to drink. "Oh come on. You know you can lie to everyone else but you really can't lie to me, I know when you are not saying the truth. I have been your friend for an awfully long amount of time." "You sound like you are not so pleased about that. Could it be because I lied to your accomplice?" I asked as I poured the water into a glass and drank it whole. "What do you mean by that?" "I am not a fool Tony. I..." "Are you by any chance implying that I am working with Reuben to get rid of Olivia?" He was getting enraged and it was quiet visible but still, I wasn't going to allow his emotions to turn me away from the real questions I needed to ask him "How does this even make sense to you as you are saying it? Do you really think that I will s
"What do you mean by that? Of course I would want to know so that I can know what our next step will be." Reuben was quick to answer but he was skillful enough to not give a very conclusive answer. "Well how exactly do you mean? Who exactly is this we that you speak of?" He asked. "Look I don't know what you think you are trying to do now but you will need to stop it and actually start trusting me," he continued. "I never said that I don't trust you. I just said that I don't understand why you so badly needed the information. If I didn't trust you, I won't still be standing here and talking to you. You know this very well and so does your friend here." Tony didn't say a word after that. He could not understand what I was doing but he was not going to open his mouth and say something that would cause any kind of trouble with him and his friend. It made me wonder if he truly trusted the man like he said he does or if I should even trust the man the way I did. "Tony are you just go
"How am I supposed to know that?" I asked, being offended that they would actually say a thing like that to me. Was I supposed to know what was on her back? But then again I did have access to her back when we were always fooling around and I could remember perfectly well, the night that we actually did something together, she did have a mole on her back. I could remember it so vividly because I honestly thought that it was very weird that she would have a red mark that big and it didn't hurt her. I also could remember asking her about it but she didn't say anything to me, she didn't even try to hide the fact that she didn't know how it got there. "I honestly have no idea how that thing got there but I believe it's because of all these drama that is constantly going on around me. I may have been hurt there without knowing," she had said before. Before now, I have always thought that maybe, just maybe, she was kidding but the more I looked at it, the more I realized that she knew ex
"Wait, is this some type of joke? Please tell me that this is some type of joke? What exactly is going on here?" I asked him. Was he actually serious about everything he said or was everything he said just a means to get to me and get me to do something that I was definitely going to regret? Could he actually be serious? Because if he was serious then that simply meant that everyone that Olivia was surrounding herself with were bad news on a good day. All of them can easily hurt her and get away with it if they were really working with Billy.I immediately felt an urge to protect her some more, I could not allow anything to happen to her and now that I knew that no one around her was actually sincere or a good person, I could not sit back and allow her be with such people. "Is it the same Alexander as I one I showed you?" Tony asked him and Reuben nodded his head. I didn't like to be kept in the dark. "Which Alexander did you show him? Is it the same one that I know?" I asked Tony
"What?" The more Reuben spoke, the more I realized that I knew very little about the drama that was actually going on all these years. But now, it was beginning to make sense. The pieces of the puzzle were beginning to add up. "Yes. The woman was already pregnant and when Billy found out, he was very upset because he knew that even if he got Valerie, all of her attention would be on the child and not on him. His new plan was simple, get rid of the same kid and remove her from Valerie's life," Reuben said. "What?" Tony asked. "I mean, I know he can be very very evil but isn't this just supposed to be downright cruel. Why separate a mother from her child? Please tell me that he wasn't successful?" "Oh he was. However, he didn't do it alone. He found out how far gone Valerie was and during the time he found this out, she was about to give birth. That was when he paid Deborah to do the needful and take the baby away from the mother after birth." "And she did?" I asked, surprised that
