Never: HIS REGRET Divorce
Olivia's POV I felt a mix of excitement as I pulled open the door to the mansion, holding the brown envelope containing the results in my hands. “Honey, I’m…” I trailed off, my gaze meeting his angry expression, etched with frustration. “What’s the issue?” I inquired, the envelope slipping from my hand and landing on the couch as I walked up to him, placing my hands on his shoulders. “Take those filthy hands off me,” he barked, taking my hands forcefully off his shoulders. I winced in pain, clutching my wrist. “What have I done?” I asked, perplexed. I had just left the house to go to the hospital and confirm if I was truly pregnant. We shared a happy, beautiful moment together before I left. So why the sudden change? It was unlike him. “I want a divorce,” he snapped. His words making my feet to tremble, and I paused to regain my composure, taking a deep breath. “What did you say?” I asked, not sure if I had heard him correctly, those words weren't adding up. “Are you d

FOUR YEARS AFTERLiam's POV“Son, come over. We are already seated,” Mum called out as soon as I opened the door.A slight grin formed on my face as I walked over to the dining room where they were seated. I greeted everyone before taking my seat next to Dad.Dad groaned, clearing his throat, and I flinched, already knowing what he wanted to say each time he made that sound.“Liam, when are you going to marry again? It's been four years since you divorced Olivia, and yet you've refused to remarry. Do you know the consequences of your negligence?” he spewed, and I almost repeated his words verbatim. He had said this over a thousand times since Olivia left.“Honey, just let him be. He's just arrived and hasn't even touched his food,” Mum said, feeling concerned.My gaze shifted to Dominic. I knew he was going to say something, and as usual, he didn’t disappoint.“Mum, let Dad speak. I just don’t like how he chooses to be one-sided. Am I not also his son? If Liam has refused to remarry,

Olivia's POV“Sweetie, what kept you so long in the washroom?” I asked, a bit worried that he had spent so much time inside. I had wanted to walk in when I had the sudden restraint to, and besides, I had to make sure Becky brought out all the luggage from the lot.“Mum, I’m sorry I took so long in there. I met a man who looked just like me,” he snapped, and I flinched. I hadn’t raised him to talk to strangers.“Why would you engage in a conversation with him? Haven’t I told you not to speak to strangers?” I asked, and he frowned.“Mum, I’m sorry,” he muttered.I crouched to his level, cupping his face in my hands. “Mum isn’t angry with you, alright? But Mum wants you to be safe at all times. Remember, you won’t talk to strangers again, alright?” I said, and he nodded.“Now smile for Mummy,” I teased, a playful glint in my eye, and he giggled.“But Mum, you said my real dad was in New York. What if he was my dad?” he asserted, and I shuddered.“Uncle James will be your dad soon, alrigh

Liam's POVI wasn't sure she was the one. We had arrived a few minutes after the opening ceremony, and I was stunned when I saw her from behind.When she turned, something tugged at my heart. Gosh, she looked completely different—almost unrecognizable from the Olivia I knew four years ago. Her skin was lighter, her brows perfectly shaped, and her figure was stunning. But what was she doing at such a grand event? Or did she come with someone?"And who are you?" she asked, jolting me out of my thoughts. Did she not recognize me, or was she just pretending?"It's me, Liam. Are you pretending not to know me?" I asked, a bit perplexed as she looked me over from head to toe. My heart sank. I scanned myself quickly, trying to figure out if something was off about my appearance after a rough day."I don't know you, and please, don't ever stand in my way again," she snapped, turning to leave. I instinctively grabbed her hand, feeling utterly broken by her reaction."I'm so sorry for everything

I walked up to the conference room where the scheduled meeting was supposed to take place, my heart longing to discover more about this child. Every bit of my being felt on edge, I felt restless in my spirit. Something kept pulling at me from the inside, the connection between Olivia and Jumia; the little boy had just met. Just when I couldn't hold on any longer, I announced the adjournment of the meeting and requested the presence of the principal in her office. “Sir, you called for me. What can…” she trailed off as I raised my hand to stop her. “I need the report and information on a certain child named Jumia, probably in kindergarten.” “Oh! That. You mean Jumia Peters, sir?” she inquired, a grin spreading across her face as she bent to open the computer on the table. “What’s that for?” I asked, feeling slightly awkward at her sudden grin. “He’s such a smart child and was just registered yesterday.” “Yesterday?” I cut in, almost stunned that Peters’ suspicions were actually t

I was just sitting in the meeting and getting acquainted with the new staff feeling elated to be with them when suddenly I got a call from an unsaved contact. I ignored the call, and moments later, I was done and heading to my car. Today was another day off work for me, but the Joy of acquaintance never dissipated.I knew Jumia should be out of school by now and would be patiently waiting for me. Just as I was about to start the engine, I got the same call again. I ignored it once more, the joy I felt replaced with bitterness. However, this time, the caller called back immediately, and I shrugged before answering. My instincts already told me it was Liam calling. I knew too well that after yesterday's confrontation at the grand opening, he would try to get my number and call. He appeared desperate.“Hello, don’t call me again. I don’t….”“This is the police. Your driver just had an accident. From the report, he was badly injured and has been taken to the hospital,” the voice asserted

The tables were set, and I made sure everything was arranged as expected while we awaited his arrival.Jumia seemed more excited as he glanced at his little wristwatch at intervals. I shot him a playful stare and continued with what I was doing while he sat in the living room, waiting for his guest.Shortly after, I heard a car horn at the entrance and suspected that his guest had arrived. His “Uncle Nice” had finally arrived. I assigned the remaining duties to the maid and hurried upstairs to change into something more decent and casual. I didn't want to appear undressed or unkempt before this fellow. I anticipated he was as nice as Jumia praised, even though I felt a little restrained about the whole issue. “Just a thank you for being nice to my son out there when he was in danger, wouldn't be a bad step” I assured myself, walking up the stairs. I wanted Jumia to be proud, as always, to have a classy mum by his side.Once in the bedroom, I quickly changed into a red crop top and a

Liam's POVI felt like a little child, terrified by a scary movie, when my gaze met hers. I never expected that the Olivia I knew was the same Olivia Peters who had borne him.At first, upon discovering the truth, I thought it was merely a coincidence because she was known as Smith. But today's encounter proved me wrong, it wasn’t just a coincidence; it was reality. She is the same as Jumia's mother, a reality that struck me real hard.It hurt to realize that I had come with a different motive, and now she was calling me a liar. I had arrived despite all doubts, just to see this little kid I was so fond of. I thought that honoring his request to see me would make him happy and also give me the opportunity to meet the lovely woman who had given birth to such a smart, adorable child; only to find out that it was her.I stormed out of the house, devastated that she had sent me away without even waiting to hear my side of the story. Instead, she went as far as denying that I wasn’t the fa

Who could that be?I peeped through the little opening at the edge of the gate.A slender young lady, slightly above average in height, with brown skin and light-colored hair, stood before me.“Nina or whatever you call yourself, I want you to get rid of whatever is growing in your womb this minute because there is no way I’m letting you blackmail me,” Fiona snapped, her anger seething.“You lie, Fiona. You lie. I’m not getting rid of this child.”“Then get ready to face me the hard way because this child is certainly not going to stay,” Fiona snapped, her tone firm.I remained rooted, unable to comprehend anything.I tried to return to the house, but she said something striking, pinning my legs in place, eager to hear more.“You hired me to do your dirty work, and I complied. But when you realized your dirty little secrets were at risk, you couldn’t let go. You arranged for his sperm to be stored with the lab attendant; I made sure of it. And now that everything is taking its turn, y

My heart skipped.My entire body remained numb as I watched the handle, frozen in place. My plans to wait and see how everything unfolded were gradually being crushed.I flinched.Just then, the handle stopped, and I could hear Mum's voice again.Relief washed over me as I held my hands to my chest, gently heaving a sigh.I carefully and discreetly moved towards the living room, ignoring whatever Mum had left to say.I was already consumed by what I had just heard and needed to think before I acted. It sensed Fiona had every step well-prepared and planned.Once in the living room, I stumbled onto the couch, my hands clapped to my heavily breathing chest.My eyes landed on the glass of water in front of me. Fear crept over me.“What if she put something in it?” I whispered. But staring at it wasn’t going to quench my thirst.I restrained myself from taking it and slammed my arms on the armrest. If only I could remember the slightest thing, except for today, then everything would have b

Next dayLiam's POV Sitting and patiently waiting for the water when the door of the mansion creaked open, and Mum steps into the building, holding a medium briefcase in her arms and approaching.My face fixed on hers, stunned, my mind numb.What was she doing here with a bag that made it seem like she was planning to stay a while?I held back, watching, waiting for her to drop the case. But instead, she hurried toward me and pressed a warm kiss against my forehead.“Son, how are you doing?” she asked, her face lighting up with a warm smile.“I’m good, Mum,” I replied, then fixed my gaze on the briefcase and back to hers. “Mum, what are you doing with a briefcase? Are you going on vacation?” I asked, and she raised an eyebrow.Her face lit up with shock.“Son, have you forgotten I told you I was coming two days ago?” she snapped, her eyes widening.“Two days ago?” I echoed, equally surprised. I had no memory of that.“I’m sorry I didn’t call again. Your father had a slight fever, so

Olivia's POV I was already at home, my heart a total mess, devoid of any iota of numbness ever since I left James at the roadside.“My decision was the best for both of us,” I whispered to myself as I alighted from the cab, but something sprang up in my heart.My car was parked at the hospital.Taking the cab, I returned to the hospital with the intention of not going inside the building.Upon arriving, I was surprised to spot James with Becky; she looked almost unconscious.I was stunned to my marrow.Had he actually come back to the hospital to confront Becky for spilling the truth? What kind of a man was he?Rushing Becky over to the emergency ward, all the teams rushed over and assisted in the process of resuscitating her.It appeared he had nearly snapped the life out of her moments before I arrived.My heart quickened. He was a beast.After a moment of panic and pressure, she was finally stabilized and placed on oxygen.I heaved a sigh, my heart heavy with grief and hatred.“Sh

James POV My gaze remained fixed on hers, curiously demanding an answer.My heart raced as I dreaded the response she hadn’t given yet.Her confused yet determined expression said everything. Even without her words, I already felt a sharp pain in my heart.“Please, Olivia, tell me what the issue is. You already forgave me, and I have promised to always be honest with you from now forth. Why are you stopping the car?” I demanded desperately.It seemed like my words hit her, stirring a soft spot in her heart. She lowered her head, arms wrapped around herself.I leaned closer, resting my hands on her shoulders slightly.“I’m sorry, but I’m starting the car now,” I said boldly. But she didn’t react, didn’t say a word neither.I felt shattered, but I had to do something.I gripped the key, ready to start the engine, when her hand brushed against mine, stopping me abruptly.She looked up at me, her eyes filled with sorrow and determination.“I’m sorry,” she whispered. “I can’t go through

My heart couldn't contain the depth of deceit, and I pulled out my phone to dial James' number.Pressing the call button, I waited for him to pick up after a brief moment.“Sorry, I was trying to….”“Just save that explanation and meet me at the office now,” I declared, pressing the hang-up button.How could he? I muttered aloud, my gaze fixed on my phone.My arms slammed against the office desk, making a sharp creaking sound that echoed through the entire space.The longer I waited, the more the unease grew in my spine. Finally, the door creaked open once more, revealing no one else but James.His dazed gaze met my angry stare, and he hurried toward me.His mouth was agape, his expression perplexed.“What’s the issue? And why are you still in the office with that look on your face?”I let him speak while I watched impatiently.The veins in my body tensed, my muscles pulled tight.“How could you do such a thing? How could you?” I blurted out bitterly.He leaned forward and held my arm
Never: HIS REGRET 77: Confession
I pace around the living room, my gaze fixed on the image displayed on the screen of my phone.How it hurts. But then, no one seemed to realise how much pain I was going through, how much was at stake just to make sure he was still alive.It's been months since he was transferred to another hospital, yet I still couldn't let go of the feelings I had when I watched his lifeless body lying on that bed.Nevertheless, I had to move on.I pressed the delete button on my phone and quickly erased his picture and everything that I felt was connected to his image or personality.My marriage to James was in just two days, and I felt it was best to let go, start afresh, and give love a chance to thrive once more.***** D-DayI arrived at the office earlier than usual.My heart soared with joy from the moment I woke up. It wasn't unusual to feel this way ever since I had agreed to move on with James.I had one thing to do at the office this morning before meeting up with him at the designated ar

His gaze burned with jealousy as he asked the question.My face lit up with a smile that left him confused. His face scrunched up, his gaze widening. It lingered on me, silently demanding an explanation."Alright! That was just a joke. It's someone from the hospital," I chimed, my mouth curling into laughter."Don't ever joke about such delicate matters again, alright?" His hands gripped my arm, his gaze serious as he fixed it on mine, waiting for a reply."Alright," I assured him, standing upright and picking up my bag while patting my face to ensure my makeup was in perfect condition."Where to?" he asked, looking fazed."It's time for us to spend some time together outside this building. I've already booked a private reservation for two," I replied, feeling a little excited."That's why I'll always love you." His hand brushed against my face, lifting my cheeks slightly."Always love you," he repeated, and my heart melted at the sincere, longing gaze fixed on mine.I swallowed har

Olivia's POV I felt a rush of excitement pulling through my heart as his text popped up on my phone, asking if we should meet.It was the same way I felt when he replied to my text earlier; my entire body swirling with joy once more.Three long weeks of separation, yet it felt like forever. My heart longed for him, yet the thought of Nina kept restraining me.‘It won't be a bad idea if I gave him the opportunity to explain things since I haven't really heard his perspective,’ I thought as my finger rested over my lips in deep reflection.We had come a long way together; he was practically my backbone when I had no one and nowhere to lean on; not to mention that painful, haunting night I had tried countless times to erase from my memory.I hissed aloud, drifting my gaze away in disdain as the thought resurfaced, replaying in my heart all over again.Finally, after a long moment of deep reflection, I decided to give love a chance to thrive.I couldn't deny what I still felt for him lin
