Never: HIS REGRET 17: Switched Identities
Liam’s POVI sat at the back of the car as the cops drove. My heart was filled with so much rage and pain; the pain of having Olivia suffer all because of my past wrongs.My thoughts drifted to fifteen years ago when we were still in high school. Those days used to be my days of superiority as the son and heir of one of the richest families in New York.Fifteen Years Ago“Guys, he is coming,” Andrew announced, already getting up on his feet and moving out of his seat.“Let's go,” I signaled to Peter, my right-hand man and the only one so close to me.We moved to stand in the doorway of the class just in time as he was walking in.“Get out of my way,” he said, bowing his head low in fear, his voice wavering.“Or what?” I interjected, pushing him so hard that he fell to the floor, his hands curled over his face.“Class, look at who we have today,” I mocked, and the whole class burst into laughter while he remained on the floor, sobbing loudly, tears in his eyes.I had disliked him with

“Olivia?” I blurted out abruptly, unable to hide the shock in my expression at the words he had just spoken.“Yes, Olivia,” Mum cut in, her tone unyielding and cool.“How sure are you that she's the one behind it all?” I asked, unsure how to process the situation. Olivia would never do that; or so I thought.“Do you see how incompetent you are? You've just been given the information you so desperately wanted, and now you still ask questions?” Dad barked, his voice raised.“Dad, let him be. He wouldn't believe it without evidence. Besides, he still blames me,” Dominic asserted. I held back my urge to bark back at him, my hands already forming fists. It was Olivia they were talking about, no one else.“You need to believe all of this, son. I know I never truly liked her from the beginning, but this,” she stretched the words, “just confirms it all,” she snapped, confident in her speech.“May I see the evidence you have to prove it all?” I asked, still unsure of the information I had just

James POV “I don't know any of the words he just said, believe me.” I tried to assure her, but her mind was made up. Her face scrunched up in frustration, and my heart ached to see her in such a mood.Before I could hold onto her arms, she bowed into her car, gave me a dreaded look of betrayal, and closed the door behind her. I watched, broken apart by her actions.“Don't bother coming over to the house because I will make sure you aren't granted access,” she exclaimed bitterly before driving out of the building.I stood still, perplexed by everything that had just happened. My gaze darted to the main entrance of the hospital, and I held onto the stares of some staff members and passersby. It seemed absurd. I groaned, feeling utterly devastated.This wasn't how I had planned everything to turn out. It certainly wasn't.I got into my car, buried my head in my hands, and reflected deeply on everything that had just happened. If only I could turn back time; if only I could, then I would

Olivia's POV I felt broken when my gaze met his, but then I looked away. I felt even more broken when I stepped into the living room and caught a glimpse of James with Jumia.However, I couldn't stop Jumia from having fun and getting excited, just as I wouldn't want him to feel broken if I asked James out. Besides, he had practically grown up, from his very first day on earth, with his uncle James by his side.That was the very reason a part of me felt a slight doubt about Liam's words. However, James’s question from the previous day kept popping into my mind. He had certainly asked those questions because he was definitely hiding something from me.“Mum, Uncle, how could you both do this to me?” Jumia blurted out, bowing his head, his cutlery dropping onto the table. I felt a pull in my chest and immediately put mine down, placing my hands on his back.“What’s wrong, sweetheart?” we asked all at once, our gazes fixed on his downcast expression.He remained silent for a while before

He swiftly turned the phone away before I could gasp anything from its screen. My heart quickened at his actions, a frown suddenly creasing my face."Let me have the phone now," I pressed, grabbing it from his side before he could attempt anything.I glanced at the screen only to see a message that had already been opened. I turned to look at him, but he remained tense, staring back at me. I shifted my gaze back to the message."Boss, all done."My heart quickened, and I looked up at him, perplexed. Without a word, I pulled out my phone to dial the number that had sent the message."Babe, what are you doing? Stop!" James urged, trying to snatch the phone from me. But it was already too late. He successfully snatched it away from my hands, careful not to scratch me.However, I had already memorized the number at a glance. I stood up and dialed it immediately, receiving a response."Hi, how may I help you? This is Leo from Stanbic Group of Companies," a voice replied.I turned my gaze t

Liam's POVI sat in the office, going through the files when my phone suddenly beeped.I glanced at it, then at the files before picking up the call, my gaze still fixed on them.My thoughts drifted to last night which was a kind of hell, and I am barely able to recover from the emotional stress. It's been four days, yet no demand.Absent-mindedly, I swiped to answer while still checking the details and description of a particular file I was holding.“Hello, sir, I’ve got something juicy you might like to hear,” a voice cut in. I momentarily took the phone away from my ear to check who was calling.My eyes widened as I realized it was the private investigator I had hired to gather information on James Smith and his schemes.“Alright, what’s the news?” I asked, closing the file and shifting my full attention to the call, my heart racing in anticipation of the update I had been waiting for.“So far, I think he orchestrated the Berks Hospital scandal, working alongside a woman who hasn’t

Olivia’s POV “Ahh!” I moaned, holding onto the décor as he continued. My body reeled of overwhelming pleasure that I could barely comprehend.I had never experienced it to this extent before. Sex with Liam was nothing compared to what I was feeling right now. It felt like I was floating in the blue skies. I continued groaning in ecstasy when my phone rang.I ignored the call and kept enjoying the moment. The ringing stopped after two rings. I paid no heed to the phone, which was tossed in the corner of the room.“You want more?” he asked, stopping as his gaze locked onto mine ravenously. I bit the inside of my lip, my whole body quivering for more. My head rolled in anticipation.He stopped and pulled my legs down, his huge already pressing hard against my abdomen.“I will make you cry,” he whispered, lifting me onto my feet before I could grasp what he had just said, my body felt tense, longing for more.He turned me over, and shortly after, I could feel him inside me.

James POV Turning on the engine of my car, I drove out of the mansion, my heart pricking me along the ride. I was supposed to report to the office for an urgent appointment scheduled to take place in an hour.I didn't know why I felt so much unrest after being told about the file dropped off for Olivia by an anonymous source. But my mind kept telling me it was no good. Unable to shake the unease, I pulled into a parking lot nearby, trying to piece together why I felt this way.After a while, I turned on my phone to message my PA about adjusting the appointment time. Once I was certain the changes were made, I dropped the phone back and restarted the engine, driving toward Olivia's house.Along the ride back; which was only about a five-minute drive, my unease increased. I kept reassuring myself that something wasn’t right. I had never felt this level of discomfort before, except on the day I had issues with Olivia. This realization only strengthened my unease.Soon, I arrived at the

Becky discreetly dropped the files she was holding before anyone noticed. She crouched low instantly. "Ma'am, I was about to place the files in your car as you instructed when I bumped into him. He was so lost in thought that he forgot where he was going," she said, her voice dripping with sympathy. I stared at her theatrics in disbelief. "But I never instructed you to place the files in my car. I told you to take them to my office," Olivia said, her tone sharp. Becky raised her head. "Ma’am…" My heart raced. My legs trembled slightly. Had she heard our conversation? “Ma’am, I’m so sorry! I thought you had instructed me to drop them in your car,” she exclaimed, hurriedly packing the files and storming back inside. Olivia turned and watched her leave, her unstable movement slightly unreadable at the moment. “Olivia, I came to meet….” “I don’t need any apologies. I have a lot to sort out today at work. Don’t you have something to do in your office? Or,” she raised an eyebro

I arrived at my mansion a few minutes later after countless attempts to reach her, all of which proved futile. Just as I was entering the compound, I spotted her standing at the entrance of my apartment. My rage surged. She was about to turn and leave but stopped in her tracks, her eyes glistening with a smile as she awaited my arrival. I stepped out of the car and closed the door behind me, moving toward her with determined, angry strides. “I checked for you in your office, but…” “How dare you?” I barked, cutting her off mid-sentence. She startled at my outburst but quickly regained her composure. Leaning in, her half-slipped dress, torn up her thigh, brushed against my midsection. “Step aside,” I roared, pushing her away. She staggered backward slightly, her face turning pale red. “Who gave you the guts to blackmail me and post all that to the media? Ahh!” I retorted, my voice raised, raw and guttural. “I never did any of those,” she replied, her gaze turning teary, her ton

I decided to give him a call to book me a nice place to rest my head for the night. Picking up my phone, I realized it was off, which was unusual. I turned it on, only to receive numerous voicemail messages and redirected calls. ID: Olivia… I gasped, feeling unease as I played the voice messages. My heart clung to a tiny strand of hope that it wasn't over yet. I just couldn't stand losing her now; just as I couldn't stand the thought of Nina trying to ruin my image, and now, my mom's threat. Everything lingered in my heart as I finally gathered the strength to make the call. ***** It was still early when I arrived in New York, driving through the quiet hours of the morning so I could meet my schedule. First, I had to visit her. I arrived at her building exactly at seven a.m. I knew they were still preparing for work and school. That was the perfect time to come over. Taking a deep breath, I stretched out my muscles, they felt sore from the long drive and the previous day's e

James POV I drove into the compound about three hours later, my entire body sore from the long drive.Taking a deep breath and holding my wrist, my hands trailed down to my ankle, massaging the aching spot.Pain coursed through my body. It had been a long drive, and I had to do it alone this time.I yanked my neck to release the lingering tension, my heart still unsteady.After a long wait in the car, I finally stepped out. It was already getting late.The evening breeze blew past, carrying a bittersweet sensation; its gentle touch soothing, yet unable to erase the pain within me.“Son, I'm right here,” I heard Mum's voice from the first floor. I lifted my gaze to meet hers.“Alright, Mum,” I replied, moving into the mansion.My mind was already set on what I needed to do.Soon, I was up on the balcony where Mum sat, her legs crossed. A small side stool beside her held a glass cup, half-filled with orange-colored juice. A magazine lay on her lap, its pages flipping under her fingers.

Olivia's POV He had such an amazing personality, with a way of getting to my heart. Somehow, I felt I would have forgiven him immediately.But I didn’t want my decisions to be based on mere gifts, I wanted them to come from my heart. Infidelity was something I despised deeply. It reminded me of my past wounds.It wasn’t his fault, after all.I glanced at the necklace. Its sparkles lit up my heart. My chest filled with excitement, and I blinked repeatedly, placing a hand over my chest, feeling blessed.The door creaked open, drawing my attention. My gaze shifted toward Becky as she approached.Her urgency and the curious expression in her eyes as she stared at the tablet she held caught my attention."Ma’am, you won’t believe what’s in the news right now," she blurted, bending down to show me the screen.A sudden hot sting shot through my body."James Smith, the billionaire and CEO of Stanbic Group of Companies, denied any involvement in the tragic incident that happened to his suppos

“I certainly don't know what this is all about,” I replied, already turning to move away from the cameras, but something happened.“We have proof to support our claims. You arranged the incident that led to his predicament,” a lady's voice surged from the crowd.My heart quickened. What proof was she talking about?I tried to ignore it, but the stunned gazes from my staff caught my attention, drilling into my heart.I turned toward the cameras. “I certainly don't have a hand whatsoever in his predicament. I just didn't like his closeness to my fiance, that's all,” I addressed, feeling increasingly drained inside.Hot sweat swirled on my forehead.“Then what about the phone calls? How do you explain them?” That same voice asked again.I narrowed my gaze into the crowd, trying to grasp the identity of this person attempting to ruin me, but I couldn't figure out who she was.The eagerness of the media personnel, the cameras all focusing on me, fighting to be the first to capture my react

James POV I flinched at her inquiry."She's just a friend from my past who wouldn't let go. She came over and seduced me. At that point, I didn't know what got over me," I replied, my gaze fixed on her."I'm so sorry. No amount of words could mend your broken heart or undo what I’ve done. Please, just find it in your heart to forgive me," I pleaded yet again."Why haven't you told me about her all these years?" she asked, her gaze locked on mine."That's because I thought I had successfully put her behind me, but I never knew she would come back," I replied defiantly.My gaze remained on her for a while before she looked away.I stayed crouched, lifting the parcel I had gotten for her."This isn't a bribe or a way of buying myself back into your heart; it's a gift of my love for you. It is boundless," I asserted, stretching the parcel toward her.She held her gaze on the gift for a while before looking away.My heart quickened. I just wanted her to forgive me. ‘I am so sorry,’ I mutt

Olivia's POV My hands were placed on my cheeks as I reflected about the encounters I had gone through at their hands.They asked for an immediate transfer once he was awake, and it hurt me deeply that they never appreciated my efforts. But I gave in to their demands.What hurt me most was the fact that he didn't recognize me or anyone else except his mom.It damn well hurts.I swallowed hard, my gaze fixed on the door as it creaked open, revealing Doctor Kaley.He had been on leave for a week, and the wait for his return had worn me down the most. He was one of the best in the neurosurgical field and had extensive knowledge when it came to his area of expertise.All research proved inadequate."Have a good day, ma’am," he greeted, and I reciprocate the gesture, motioning for him to sit."The patient from the previous surgery seems to be suffering from severe amnesia," I said as soon as he sat down.He smiled a little, then lifted his head to meet my gaze.

Liam's POV Darkness!Everything became numb. No sign of life. The air around me thickened. I couldn't understand what was happening. Everything seemed faded.The noise around me increased. I tried to open my eyes, but they were so damn heavy.“What's happening?” I asked myself.My entire body felt numb; I could barely lift a finger. I tried, and just then, one finger moved. Then another. Finally, my palm.The noises around me grew louder, a slight surge of pain coursing from my head down to my toes.I tried to blink, to open my eyes, but my eyelids quivered. Then, I finally managed to open one eye. A sudden, consuming brightness nearly blinded me, forcing me to shut it quickly.It was too bright.Brighter than I could handle.I absorbed the light and slowly opened my eyes again, adjusting to the brightness.As my vision cleared, I took in my surroundings. A white ceiling stretched above me. My gaze drifted toward the source of the noise, but suddenly, everything fell silent.A woma
