I spent the night at Vera's place and from there, I left to work. Leo called later in the day and wanted to take me out. I agree after much convincing and we set a time for the weekend. It was the weekend and I woke up not feeling too good. So I stayed in bed for a while. later in the day, I was feeling better and I got ready for my outing with Leo which I was excited about. Alex was still not back and I was happy about that. I found myself a nice straight dress and slipped into it. Nothing that will create a wrong impression. It was just a friendly outing. Chantal came to inform me about Leo and I quickly went out of the building. I got into the back seat of the car which he opened for me and he also joined me there. Soon we were out of my compound and on the main road. "Where are we going?" I asked curiously. "If I tell you I would ruin the surprise," he replied and I smiled. We engaged in small talk and soon arrived at the extravagant restaurant. It was one of the most expe
Olivia's POV He stared at me and I looked straight into his eyes but there was nothing there. It was blank. He walked towards me and I rested my hand on the wall for support even though I didn't move back. He stopped right in front of me and leaned in. He was a giant. I had to raise my head to see his face. He moved to the side like he was checking on me. His eyes scanned me from head to toe. I was forced to move in the opposite direction and ended up pressing my back against the wall. He placed his hand on the wall above me and leaned in bringing his face closer to mine. "You want to know why?" he asked, his voice very deep and dangerous but I kept myself composed, not showing any sign of the fear building inside of me thinking of what he was going to do. I lowered my lashes to prevent him from looking into my eyes, for fear of him noticing I was getting scared by the minute. I was alone in that apartment with servants who listened to his voice and not mine. If he decides to attac
Alexander's POV Another reason why I purchased the company ran into bankruptcy and employed Olivia as the manager of the company was to be able to monitor her daily activities. I was more comfortable seeing she was not with another man. I had kept Maria around even though she was harassing Olivia daily because I wanted to spark that feeling of jealousy in Olivia. When we were together, it was a way I used to confirm Olivia was still into me. I allowed Maria to do what she knew how to do best but I quickly realized how Olivia had changed. She was no longer that woman who would take anything from me and anyone because she was helplessly in love with me. I was curious about one thing though, she kept our little passion together to herself. I asked myself why. I had a tracker fixed in the car used by Olivia. So when she left the office and took a detour I wondered where she was going. I called Dave to confirm where they were and he told me. I quickly found out what Olivia was doing a
Alexander's POVI didn't know how to feel about the news with the thoughts on my mind. She finally woke up and I decided to question her about her pregnancy. From her response and body language, I figured she didn't know she was pregnant. I didn't need her to answer some of the questions I asked her
Alexander's POV Out of the penthouse, I sat in the back seat of my car and Mark closed the car door for me I was boiling and all my hair was standing on the edge "Sir, please call......" Mark began and snapped. "Drive," I yelled at him and he quickly turned his focus to the wheel and started the car engine. "Are we going home?" Mark managed to ask me staring at me from the rearview mirror. "No, to the office," I replied. I need a quiet place to think. The office seems like a better option than home. My phone began to ring and I checked the caller ID. It was my mum. I stared at my phone screen for a while and decided to reject the call. The phone started ringing again. Out of annoyance, I turned the phone. The car drove into the office compound and parked in the garage. I got out of the car and used the elevator to the sixth floor. I paced up and down my room thinking of what to do. If that pregnancy is for Leo, it must not see the light of day. That child can't be born. I tho
Alexander's POV The morning hit me like a hangover. I was glad it was a Sunday. I had twenty-four hours to recover from the whole incident that affected me badly. Mark had delivered the medication to Chantel and I knew by the close of the day, that Olivia would lose the pregnancy. A smile appeared on my face. If she wants a baby, I will gladly father one for her. I don't want any man's baby growing inside her. I dragged myself to the washroom and took a shower. I returned to my family home and ran into my mum in the living room. "Where did you spend the night?" she asked me. "Mum, last I checked I was a full-grown adult capable of taking care of myself," I replied and headed for the staircase to go inside my room. "Alex, you know you can't be alone. Especially now," I heard her say and my blood began to boil. "Am I a kid? What do you mean by your statement?" I questioned her angrily. "Alex, calm down. I didn't mean to offend you. I am just concerned about you. You look stresse
Alexander's POV"Hello Alexander," came Kira's voice as she walked towards me.I remained frozen at my spot wondering if I was dreaming or if it was really Kira. My Kira. I just stared kept staring at her unable to react until she was standing in front of me. Her lips curled into a smile. She had such an amazing smile which warms my heart."Alexander," she called out to me again snapping her fingers in front of me."Hmmm," I said and the corners of my lips curled up a little. "What a pleasant surprise," I managed to say."Yeah, it is," Kira replied beaming with smiles."So," I began but I was not sure what to say.It's been three years since I last saw her and I must say it was very weird seeing her now. My last memory of her was our passionate time together which was quickly followed by the break-up message. All the past years, I had thought my joy would be over the moon if I got the chance to see her again but here we are and I don't even know how to feel. "There is a lot to talk ab
"No, Mr Williams. It has not come to that," I heard him say."Then you will carry out my orders," I said authoritatively and headed for the door. I went back home and Olivia spent the night in the hospital. I freshened up and sat behind my desk inside my room to prepare for Monday. My phone rang and it was an unknown number when I checked. I answered anyway."Hey Alex," came Kira's voiceA smile quickly appeared on my face as I listened to her sweet voice on the phone. Years had gone by and I had forgotten how sweet her voice was on a call. We spoke briefly and confirmed our dinner date for the next day before saying goodnight to each other. The next day, I called Chantel asking about Olivia and I got to know she would be discharged in a couple of hours. I had already warned Dr Marcus not to tell her exactly what happened and I have equally warned Chantel to keep mute about the whole incident. I left for work and gave Olivia a day off. The sun went down and the night gave birth to t
Olivia's POVWhile in the hospital, Alexander never came to see me. It felt like old times except this time, I knew Alexander was on admission too. The day I was discharged I visited his ward and he was asleep. I never entered his ward. I watched him through the glass. He looked different now but I
Olivia's POVI opened my eyes and my mind went to the pain I felt in my hand which quickly travelled to my back and my whole body was soon consumed with pain. The pain was gone and I felt better. I knew I was in the hospital, I turned my head slightly and met the gaze of my brother Austin."What hap

"Yes ma'am," the lady at the reception said and I pulled my bag towards the exit.Outside, I quickly got a cab and headed for the airport. After half an hour's drive, I arrived at the airport. The news about Leo was still playing on my mind."We are here ma'am," the driver said snapping back to real
Matilda's POVI was still at the motel. I had requested a room under a different name and paid cash just to make sure, my name is not in the motel's management system. I had come in with a disguise too. I changed my eye colour and my hair. I also gave myself a different look by using tape to pull th
"Leo loves Olivia. I know," I said. "So why will he do something that would make Olivia hate him?" I asked."That is an important question. We need to find an answer, if not this could be used to disregard the evidence," Austin said and I shifted my gaze to my team member who had still standing in h
Alexander's POVI opened the file and went through the information printed out in black and white while lying on my bed. I was shocked by what I found out. I never knew Lydia and Olivia shared the same father. I knew Lydia was my half-sister because we share a mother but never in my wildest dream di
Leo's POVI thought I was finally going to have Olivia to myself. With the way everything was going, I knew convincing Olivia to love me was no longer something I could do. She was just not ready to love me for whatever reason. I have done everything I could to convince her I am the man for her but
Well, we didn't have to stay in that condition for long, the police entered using the front door. Leo grabbed Olivia as a shield, trying to escape but Olivia's brother came from behind him and hit him in the head. Leo was done but a gun went off. Not sure whose but I saw the guard standing behind Ol
