Never: HIS REGRET 13: An Undefined Desire
Olivia’s POV I woke up earlier, feeling completely worn out by yesterday's events. My rage took over a greater part of my being, overshadowing the moment of joy I had anticipated.I practically ignored Jumia's explanation and walked up to my room to clear my head. He was just a child. I had warned him to stay away from that stranger, but he chose to be comfortable in his arms, even accepting gifts from him.Liam's intentions were never good, I could feel it from the very first day he came for dinner at my house. Such nerve.I called the principal immediately after I got home to place a strict restriction and even threatened to file a report against the school. Her response left me speechless throughout the night. Sleep was far from my eyes, which flustered bright all through the night.I moved toward the nightstand to take some pills to ease my sleeplessness, an illness that could surge at any time. It had been ages since I had such illness, all thanks to Liam, I muttered in my heart

James POVI continued thrusting until our moans filled the space, and I slowly reeled off her, cherishing the intimate moment we had just shared.It’s been a long time since I waited for this day. She’s practically all mine; my life, my everything."Did you enjoy it?" I asked. She winced, closing her eyes partially, shying away. My face coiled in laughter."You don't need to be shy," I teased, and she blushed. "The wedding is in a week's time. I'm all yours, and you are mine," I expressed, feeling elated. She fixed her gaze on me, took the duvet, partially covered her face, and turned toward the nightstand."Ahh! It's late already. I need to go freshen up. Jumia should be awake by now," she said abruptly, hurriedly grabbing a part of the duvet to cover herself, rising from the bed and heading to the washroom.I watched her move, a smile forming at the corner of my lips when she almost tripped while trying to wrap herself up."Easy," I teased, and she turned, giving me a silly gaze be

Olivia’s POV "What's the issue, love?" His concerned voice surged, but my heart was numb, and my breath quickened drastically. I stood still, feeling utterly broken inside. How was it possible? No! This can't be true, it certainly isn't. I groaned within, trying to wrap my head around the distressing call I just got moments ago. Everything seemed to fade away gradually, and I couldn't just pick at the point. What was going on? The more I thought about the call, the more my heart bled and the deeper my pain grew. I felt as if a thousand claps of thunder were raging in my chest. I couldn't believe everything Becky had just said; I needed to check for myself. I hurried out of bed and straight to the closet to change into something else. Every one of James’ concerns hit me hard, but even more real was the shock and pain of the news I had just received. "Babe, what's the issue? Why are you suddenly so calm? I can tell something isn’t right. Can you please tell me what's happening

I heard James’s voice and lifted my head to meet his dreadful gaze as he stepped out of his car, approaching. He was wearing a T-shirt and jeans; the same ones he had worn at home before I left. So he had practically followed me here?“What are you doing here?” He yells, approaching.“I have the right to be wherever I please at any given time. You have no right whatsoever to order me around,” Liam snapped, and I flinched. I had never seen this side of him resurface since my return, which would have been interesting if I hadn't just experienced the greatest shock and pain of my life today. Otherwise, I would have called him out for being nothing more than a pretender trying to force his way back into our lives. Showing fake affections and concerns.James stepped forward, his gaze fixed on Liam for a moment before he dipped his hands into his pant pockets. I stood still, lost for words, unsure of what to say or do. I wasn’t ready for any more pain, but at that moment, I wanted James to

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

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

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
