I replied to her question and she wanted to get personal. I allowed her and she asked her next question which confirmed my earlier thought. She was trying to confirm my relationship with the Williams."How long have you known the Williams family?" I heard Olivia ask and I shifted his gaze towards he
Alexander's/Damien's POVI was worried about Olivia and what Leo was doing to her right this minute. I picked up my car keys and called Ezra. I sent him a location and asked him to meet me there. I drove out of my compound and was soon at the place I asked Ezra to meet up with me."Sir, what do you
Alexander's/Damien's POVI sat in the back seat with Olivia feeling victorious and Ezra got behind the wheel. I put my hand across Olivia's back and pulled her to lean on me. She didn't protest but willingly rested her head on my shoulder. Inwardly I felt very happy and satisfied but I know with the
"It's that so?" I heard Matilda say and I knew she was talking about Kira but I was talking about Olivia. "Your wife came to my apartment in tears. She told me everything you did to her. Because of that witch, you treated her badly and humiliated her. Damien, I will not have that. This minute I want
Alexander's/Damien's POVI took a step forward and caught Olivia in my arms. My body was slightly bent, towering over her. We locked gaze while she lay in my arms. Slowly I brought her up to her feet and steadied her. She rested her hands on my chest with our gaze still locked. In her eyes, I read,
Alexander's/Damien's POV"Mr Smith, what brings you here?" I asked, and Olivia stood next to me staring at Leo with no expression.I could not tell what she was thinking but I was determined to defend her and not allow Leo to bully her. I was glad she stood beside me at the sight of Leo."Oliv, can
Olivia's POVMy alarm went off at 5 a.m., waking me early enough to carry out my expected duties. I slipped my feet into my slippers, then ran my fingers through my messy hair and tied it up with a ribbon from my bedside table. I staggered to the bathroom, quickly brushed my teeth, then stared at my reflection in the mirror.It ends now. Three years was enough time for me to learn Alexander would never love me the way I loved him. In all that time, my husband and I only shared a room once, the night we wed, and the experience was memorable but not in a good way. Worse, even beyond having to deal with my loveless husband, my marriage had been the equivalent of signing a contract to become a slave to the Williams family. They barely treated me like a human. Meanwhile, I had done everything I could to serve him and them. At only twenty-six, I deserved something better, and I didn’t want to waste any more time. Still, I couldn’t hold back my tears.After indulging in a good cry, I said,
An persistent beeping disturbed my slumber. I tried to ignore the irritating noise, but it seemed to be coming from under my pillow. “She moved!” someone shouted. “Doctor!” “Arrrgh,” I groaned, then more voices accompanied the incessant beeping. A bright light flashed before my closed eyes. Annoyed, I scrunched my face in displeasure. “She’s responsive,” a voice said with authority.I pulled myself from sleep, opening my eyes just to tell everyone to shut up. As soon as I moved, pain engulfed my head. Many strange faces surrounded me. All but one wore white doctor’s coats or nurse’s scrubs. Vera stood behind them, looking out of place in a colorful top and jeans. Her red, puffy eyes made her look older than I remembered. “Why am I in a hospital?” I whispered. “You were in an accident,” Vera said. “Do you remember?” I tried to sit up. “Don’t,” the nearest doctor said. “You have a head injury that hasn’t quite healed yet. Let us assess you first.”I put a hand to my head and felt
