Olivia's POV"Do you want to talk about it," Vera asked as she walked me to the couch."No, I just want to forget something like that ever happened," I said and Vera just nodded. "I just found out that your brother is back home," Vera announced and my eyes lit with joy. I missed my brother so much. He left the country after my twentieth birthday for a mission. He had joined the army and it was his first peacekeeping mission. I was glad to hear he was back. I just couldn't wait to see Austin, again. He was two years older than me but we were very close since it was just the two of us growing up."That is amazing," I said excitedly."What time would you like us to leave tomorrow," Vera asked me."Afternoon will be fine," I replied. "Do you think I should pack a small bag?" I asked Vera."Don't tell me, you took all your clothes out of your parent's home three years ago," Vera said."I didn't but knowing my father. He could have them burned out of anger," I said sadly. I wanted to go b
"Mum, Oliv is here," Austin announced as soon as we entered the poolside."Olivia?" I heard my mum say as she turned around to look at me."Mum," I said, emotions taking over my body and tears filling my eyes.She had aged with some of her hair turning grey but was still pretty. I ran into her arms as she opened them to receive as soon as she stood up from the chair."Olivia," she said my name."Mum," I said and began to cry."What is she doing here?" I heard the deep voice of my father."Calm down father," Austin intervened.My mum put me behind her shielding me from my dad who appeared to be angry."Honey, you have not seen your daughter in three years. This is not the first thing you do," my mum said to my father as I peeped at him from behind my mother."Three years ago, my daughter died. I don't have a daughter," I heard my father say and he walked into the house with Austin going after him.My heart was crushed into multiple pieces. This reaction was exactly what I feared. My mum
Olivia's POVI walked Vera to her parked car and said goodbye to her after a hug."I told my friend you were interested in the PA job. He said you shouldn't worry about the missing certificate. If you have a CV it is enough to do the verification they need," Vera informed me."I don't even have my C
"Thank you, Vera," I appreciated. "So what is the name of the company?" I asked."Here," Vera said and pulled some documents out of her bag which she handed over to me."La Mejor Constructions," I read the name of the company."La Mejor is Spanish for 'The best', right," I asked to confirm and I saw
Olivia's POV"Thank you," I appreciated. "Can I ask a question?" I said."Sure, please go ahead," he said."Please don't take this the wrong way. I am just curious about why the interview did not happen?" I asked calmly trying to understand if it was the case that my CV was too good or someone worked this out for me."Well, the CEO who sits at the head office, saw your CV and asked us to hire you," Mr Wilson said with a smile."Your CV was impressive, I must say and everything you stated checked out," he added and I smiled."You will be working directly with the CEO," Mr Wilson said and I raised an eyebrow."What happened to the manager?" I asked before I could stop myself."The manager resigned weeks ago for personal reasons. You are the new manager," he announced to my surprise. "Manager?" I repeated."Yes," Mr Wilson acknowledged. "Here is your contract, you can go through it and sign but first you must sign this one-page agreement contract," Mr Wilson said and gave me a single pa
"Alex," I whispered his name on my lips as I stared at him shocked. I was wondering how it was that he was sitting in the CEO's seat. The only question running through my head was, did Vera know about this, but I quickly dismissed the thought knowing there was no one Vera would arrange this for me if she knew Alex was the CEO."Olivia, can I have the signed contract?" His voice cut through my thoughts snapping me out of my daze."What do you want from me?" I asked staring at him angrily."What do you mean by your question? You applied for a job and you got it," he replied with a frown.He was right. I applied for this job. It suddenly crossed my mind. I could quit. I have received too many warnings about him to ignore. "Fine. I don't want the job again," I said and turned to walk away."You can't quit, Oliva," I heard him say and I froze in my steps. "Do you remember the agreement contract you signed?" I heard him ask and I turned around to stare at him."You are bonded by this contr
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
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
"Kira is in labour," I heard Vera say."Olivia, please look after Damien," Matilda said and hurried in the direction the nurse and Kira went. "Oliv, let Vera take you home. You need to rest. I would look after Damien," I heard Leo say and I felt uneasy."No, I want to stay with him," I objected and
