I was so shocked I couldn't feel the pain of my broken leg and the nasty injury sustained. I stared at Alexander still wondering how he got to the basement and not on his way out of the country for treatment like his mother had said to me."You didn't move when I called you. How are you here?" I ask
At the hospital, I was attended to by another medical person. My knee was bandaged and my wound was dressed. They ran a couple of tests on me even though my injuries were not that serious.

He held my hand in his and I remained seated on the side of the bed till he drifted off to sleep. I slowly removed my hand from his and he opened his eyes again. I knew I couldn't leave him. I stared at the glass in the door and it was only Ezra I saw there. Dr Marcus had left. I waved to Ezra to ta
I watched Alexander sleep after his mother had left the ward. Dr Marcus strode in a couple of minutes later."He is going to be fine. Don't worry. He is a strong man," Dr Marcus said. "It's already late. Have you eaten?" he asked."No," I replied. "I don't feel like eating," I added."I understand b
I sat in the back seat with Alexander, who wore a shirt over his bandaged chest and a jacket to keep him warm. I was unsure when I dosed off but a gentle scratch on my head woke me up."Hey, we are home," I heard Alexander whisper into my ears. I opened my eyes to realise I was resting my head on A
"Mum, I remarry Olivia before my accident. So this has nothing to do with my current state. I appreciate you passing by. You can now go back home," I heard Alexander say. Was he going to throw his mother out of his house at this hour? I thought as my eyes widened."Alexander, it's late. I don't thi
I wanted to call Vera but looking at the time, it was past the hour 10 in the in the night. I felt it was not a good idea to call her at that hour knowing she was just discharged from the hospital. She might be resting. I made a mental note to call her the following day at sunrise. I strode towards
He had never cared about me before, so why now? I walked past him pushing him to the side in the process. I was so mad and not sure it was just because he was being nice to me. "I am sorry," I heard him say when he followed me back to the bedroom.It was an apology but it infuriated me. I turned ar
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

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
