Olivia's POVI lay on my bed in deep thought. I know nothing about this Alex guy aside from the warnings from Vera and the fact that my family dislikes him. This is my second encounter with him and I feel Vera is right about the person he is. I turned to face the other side of my bed still lost in thought. What would be my true reaction towards him if Vera had not said anything about him being a scumbag? How would I look at him if I didn't know I was once married to him? All these thoughts ran through my head and I was not sure how to feel about them all. Is he a scumbag or I feel that way because Vera said he was?My mind drifted off to the party scene. Of course, he didn't act like a gentleman at all but come to think of it, he was there for me, his wife. I thought and frowned. Ex-wife, I repeated and turned again on my bed. I recalled his face and features."He is a nice handsome guy. Everything about his appearance fits the image of the kind of mind I will want," I thought and m
Olivia's POVI stood in front of the door for a while and left for the cafeteria. I didn't have an office yet as my onboarding was not done. I ordered a cup of tea and a sandwich. "How much?" I asked the lady at the counter. "You don't have a company card?" the lady asked and I shook my head in a no."No, you can only make a purchase here with the company card," the lady said to me and I blinked twice."I am new," I said."Kindly see the HR for that," the lady informed me and I just nodded.I walked to the HR office to get the card. I knocked gently and entered upon invitation. I greeted the lady in the seat and introduced myself."Your card will be ready tomorrow. In the meantime, Mr Wilson will attend to you," the HR manager said to me."Thanks," I said."Can I ask a question?" I said."Sure," replied the HR manager."Did you also sign an agreement contract in addition to the employee contract and what is the agreement contract about?" I asked trying to confirm what Alex had said t
Olivia's POVI went with Mr Wilson to complete the onboarding process. All through the session, I was hungry and also thinking about some of the things Maria had said to me. It made me curious about what happened while I was with Alex."Ms Hudson, are you concentrating?" Mr Wilson's voice cuts through my thoughts."Yes," I replied."This is very important and you should know it," Mr Wilson said."Yes," I replied.We continued and I tried to give it my full attention but I realized I was too hungry to concentrate on what he was saying. Finally, my stomach gave me out making a growling sound. I immediately felt embarrassed and lowered my head."Have you eaten?" Mr Wilson asked."No please," I replied shyly placing my hand on my stomach which appeared to have gone quiet after growling so loud."My apologies," Mr Wilson said and quickly exited the office.He returned a few minutes later with some food whose aroma filled the air immediately even when it was still in a paper box."Let's cont
Two servants came out of the apartment heading for the parked car. Dave removed my bag from the car truck and the servants quickly carried them inside after welcoming me. I stood in a daze scanning the beautiful compound. The compound was big and nicely decorated with flowers. It had a small porch with a swing. I walked past it and entered the apartment. The living room was very big and at the end was a dining area and the kitchen. The was a spiral staircase which descended into the living room. The kitchen and dining space was below the bedroom space. I climbed the staircase and found the bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms shared a wall and the last one was in a corner of the room which had a window at the end of the hallway. I checked the bedrooms and they all had a kingsize bed, an in-built walk-in closet, a jacuzzi bath and a shower space. I came downstairs and walked onto the balcony, it was there that I realised the building appeared to be a two-storey building. Standing at the rail
"Shall the company get you the services of a stylist too?" Alex asked."No need," I said and went upstairs. I chose the bedroom in the corner which had the window at the corner after the entry door. I looked outside through the window on my left briefly before pushing the door open. I couldn't find my bag sitting anywhere. I slid open the walk-in closet and my eyes popped out of their socket. I wondered where all the clothes and shoes were coming from. I checked the room earlier when my bag was brought in and it was empty. There was a small chair where I could sit and put on my shoes. What looks like a counter sits in the middle. It had mini drawers. I pulled one open and I gasped. They were filled with jewellery of all designs. They looked very expensive. Some were in boxes others were just hooked up to holders. I raised my head and realize all the clothes were in labelled sections. All the clothes I brought had been hung in a section labelled casual. I frowned but still picked a dr
Olivia's POVThe day slowly went by and I was glad I didn't have to see Alex or that Maria girl. I heard him walking in the hallway a couple of times but never bothered to find out what was keeping him busy. I was so engrossed in what I was doing that I didn't know how much time had flown. The phone on my desk rang drawing my attention to it. I picked up the receiver and brought it to my ears. "Hello," I said into the mouthpiece. "Ms Hudson, you are needed at the event hall. The event is about to start," came Mr Wilson's voice."Okay," I replied recalling Alex had mentioned there was going to be an event at the company. I closed the files I was working on and shut down my laptop. I placed it inside my bag and after ensuring I had not left anything behind, I stepped out of the office and locked it up as advised by Mr Wilson. I walked down the hall towards the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor upon entering the elevator. The elevator opened on the first floor and I
Alex kept me company asking me one question after the other while we stood next to the bar and watched employees have fun. Mr Wilson walked up to him and whispered something into his ears."Excuse me," he said to me and left with Mr Wilson.I exhaled and sat on the bar stool. Just then Maria walked up to me. I rolled my eyes at her."I thought you said you were not interested in Alex. So what are you doing being all lovey-dovey with him," Maria sneered."Look, Maria, I am not interested in this kind of conversation. Please find someone who is interested and chat with the person," I said and got down from the bar stool and was about to leave but she grabbed me by my arms preventing me from leaving. "Listen carefully, you slut. I will not have you disrespect me and just so you know, your silly tricks will not work on Alex this time," Maria said."The way I see it, you are the one disrespecting yourself walking up to me and talking about things that are not even part of my priority. If y
Alexanders POV After discovering Olivia had lost my memory I felt I could lure her back into my life. I have already sent word to ensure no documents concerning our divorces land in the hands of any more. Olivia never took her signed document with her. I put my best men on the job to help me find
Alexander's/Damien's POVTwo medical officers entered the ward and rushed to my side. They tried to stop me from getting off the bed."My wife is in trouble. I have to go find her," I said as they tried to hold me down."Sir, you need to relax. You just woke up from a coma hours ago," I heard the do
Hearing her, I know she had not changed. She just wanted me to wake up so she humbled herself. I felt disgusted by her cunning behaviour. "Your son, Alexander died because of Olivia and you feel, she would kill me too?" I was surprised by her statement because I am Alexander, she faked my death and
Alexander's/Damien's POVI was in bed relaxing. It felt like a weekend. I heard a familiar female voice crying for help. I could not ignore the cry so I turned in my sleep and eventually opened my eyes. The first thing I saw confused me because I thought I was lying in my bed, inside my mansion. I s
"She couldn't possibly have slept with multiple men that night. She was with Alexander but she wasn't successful and she came to you and she was successful. Her pregnancy counting from that day, is that much old," I replied. "It's possible she slept with other men and got pregnant by one of them,"
Olivia's POVDespite the changes I have seen in Mrs Williams, I was finding it very hard to believe she had changed for the better due to Damien's condition. Her true son, Alexander, his situation which led to his death did not make her change, how is it that an alien situation is the one making her
Olivia's POVThe day slowly passed and I had tried to call Vera multiple times but she was not answering. This was unlike her to ignore my calls. I was tempted to call Leo but I restrained myself following what I had just found out about him and his behaviour a while ago. I shifted my gaze to Damien
The side of his lips curled up and he smirked. His eyes carried a dangerous look but I was not afraid. It was a big hospital. He can't harm me here even if he wants to and I know he cares too much about Olivia to want to get into her bad books deliberately. This was my surety of safety.I felt somet
Vera's POVAfter Matilda's visit, I realized Leo was not who I thought he was. I recalled what he did to Olivia when he blackmailed me into convincing Olivia to be with him. Back then I had thought Leo loved Olivia too much and he just needed my help to win Olivia. Well, I guess I didn't think throu
Olivia's POVLeo let go of me and stood up from on top of me. His gaze was fixated on Damien who looks weak even though I could see he wished he could get down and face Leo."Leave," I heard Damien say, his voice laced with anger."I will," I heard Leo reply. "But I am taking my wife with me," he ad
