"Did you lay your hands on her?" Alexander asked me."Yes, I did. She attacked me and I only defended myself," I replied."I will not tolerate assorting in this company. It is against the rules of the company. Ms Hudson, in my office, now," Alexander ordered and exited the room.He didn't come to pick anything, so I figured our yelling may have called him back to the room. Maria turned to look at me smiling at getting Alexander to summon me to his office on the base of assorting another employee. Without warning, I landed a slap across her face to her surprise."Did you just slap me?" Maria asked shocked."No, your cheeks slapped my palm," I said and pushed her to the side heading for the door leaving her shocked.I walked out of the room and headed for the elevator. After dropping my laptop in my office I went to see Alexander. I knocked and entered. "Ms Hudson, assort is against the company rules. I will not tolerate such behaviours in this company. Maria is a secretary and you are
Olivia's POVThe call ended and I continued with the work. Maria was just a definition of trouble but I just didn't want to start something that would quickly escalate to something else. I was sad about my presentation hearing Mr Wilson say I needed to work on it. I know he was just being nice and the reason he wouldn't come out sounding mean like Mr Williams and Maria. I focused my mind on the file I was working on. When I was done, I picked it up and headed out. I was supposed to give it to Mr Williams to go through and approve from his end and I can proceed with the next steps. I exited my office and walked down the hallway towards his office. I knocked gently on the door but was met with silence. I knocked again and still silence. I turned the doorknob and it opened. I decided I would just leave it on his desk as I assumed he may have stepped out. I slowly pushed the door open and strode into the office. I walked to his desk and placed the file on it.I saw his jacket hanging from
Of course, there can't be two idiots wearing the same shoes on the fifth floor which appeared to be occupied by myself and Alex alone."What do you want?" I asked, my anger evident in my voice as I stared at her coldly and she smiled."So it was you, in Alex's office earlier," she said and strode into my office.My gaze followed her as she walked towards my desk. She leaned against my desk and stared at me with a smile of mockery plastered on her face. "Did it hurt your feelings to see me and Alex fucking each other," she teased and paused. "so passionately," she added with a smirk. "Is that why you walked into my office?" I questioned keeping calm. "No, I came here to deliver a message to you from Alex," she said and stood up from the edge of my desk where she was supporting her weight. "Alex, what to see you," she said and walked towards the door. "Alex is a great lover and knows how to take care of a woman's body. He makes you feel beyond satisfied but that is something you wil
Olivia's POVThe elevator opened on the ground floor and I stepped out of it. I walked towards where my car was parked, among a fleet of other parked cars. Dave walked up to me, took my laptop bag from my hand and walked me to the car. He opened the back seat door for me and I entered. "We are going to the police station," I informed Dave as soon as he sat behind the wheel."What?" I heard Dave say looking at me from the rear-view mirror."Take me to the police station," I repeated."Okay, ma'am," he acknowledged and started the car engine. We drove out of the garage onto the road and soon joined the main road. I moved the audio recording of Maria's confession to the company's phone which was given to me. I intended to give that to the police just in case they needed it.We arrived at the police station and I got out of the car. I walked into the police station. I spoke with the office behind the counter. "I want to file a complaint," I said after greeting and the officer gave me h
I exhaled and walked to the bed."So much for reporting," I said."What do you mean? What happened?" I heard Vera say."I went to the police. I filed a complaint against Maria only to receive a call a few minutes ago from Mr Williams," I informed her and dropped myself on the bed."That scumbag," Vera cursed."Yeah, he wants to see me and Maria tomorrow," I informed her."You need to quit that job. Speak with your parents. Your father will give you the money to pay the penalty. I don't want you around the dick head. And I don't think they will be happy to find out," Vera suggested."No, Vera. I can't and please don't tell my parents. I will handle it," I said."No, you need help. He dominates you, Olivia. It will be best if you live," Vera warned."I am doing well so far. It's that Maria girl who keeps bothering me. As for him, he only talks to me about work," I informed her."Fine, I know someone powerful enough to match the dick head," I heard Vera say."Who?" I asked."Leo," she rep
"Yesterday, you were talking to Mr Williams on the call right?" I asked out of the blue and I read the guilt on his face to confirm my suspicion."No, ma'am," he replied hesitating."Dave, I can have you fired by just sending an email. So think twice before you lie to me about anything," I said sternly."I am sorry, ma'am. The boss called the moment you went inside. He asked me where we were and took the name of the police station," he repliedHe replied surprised. Does it mean he is watching me? Is there a tracker in this car? I thought but said nothing as I got in the back seat of the car. There was only one way to found. I just need to close from work and I will try what I have in mind. I arrived at the office and used the elevator to the fifth floor. I quickly planned Alex's itinerary for the day. I went into his calendar and I updated it with all the activities he needed to handle within the day. I went into my email and started working on my task for the day. The phone on my tab
Leo's POVBack in college, Olivia was my crush but I didn't know how to tell her about my feelings. I found other ways to draw her attention but I realized she had eyes for the college fresh boy Alexander Williams. I decided to let her go but I went back to pursuing her when I found out Alexander was going out with Kira. I am not sure what happened or how it happened. Kira was gone and Alexander and Olivia were dating. I was heartbroken and left Florida for New York when Alexander and Oliva got married. In New York, I realized something, back in college I was not counted among the rich and famous boys of the school, Alex was. I figured the reason why Olivia didn't want me was because I didn't have money. In New York, I decided to work hard and earn a lot of money. I got employed in my first company and worked my way to the top. I gave the company my best and that helped me quickly rise to the top. I was my boss's favourite employee. I was given the position of a manger at one of the
Olivia's POV I had recently found out I was married to Alex. Maria was forced to leave the company and was sent back to the head office. With the audio evidence I had, it took a lot of string pulling from the side of Alex to get Maria out of getting a prison sentence. She was forced to go back to the head office where she will not come anywhere close to me again. I was satisfied with that since I wouldn't have to deal with her harassment any more. The HR manager organized a press conference to address the issue and fix the damage as the information found its way to social media. The company's name was dragged into the mess as having no rules to control what employees do to one another. Alex has disputed this claim providing the public with information that showed that the issue was already under investigation and the said employee was in the company to answer questions with regards to the incident when the police came in and took her away. Alex did not allow me to make an appear
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
