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
Olivia's POVAfter I noticed what Maria had done, I found myself getting very weak and a funny feeling surging through me. She pushed me into a cab and I felt the car move while I was lying on the seat at the back. My mind could not register how long I was in the cab, but I felt a hand reach for me. Next, I felt the cold wind blow against me. I knew I was in someone's arms as my feet swung freely in the air. I wrapped my arms around the person and a desire surged through me. After a while, I could not feel the cold again. It rather started getting warm. I remember lying on something soft but that was it, I don't recall what happened next. I slowly opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was a ceiling that looked like a cloth. I rubbed my eyes to look again and realised I was looking at the inside of the tester of a canopy bed. I looked around me and quickly noticed my unfamiliar environment. I try to get up but two things hit, a headache and my present state of nakedness. One hand fl
Olivia's POVAfter my bath, I strode into my room and entered the walk-in closet. I found myself something comfortable to wear. I searched for my phone and checked the time. It was still early. Vera will be at work. I made a note to call her later. I came downstairs and Chantel approached me with a smile."Good morning ma'am. Please what would you like for breakfast?" she asked me handing me a menu.I frowned looking at the big file she was handing out to me. I just had a terrible experience and she wants me to look through some stupid book and choose my breakfast. "Do I look like I have time to go through some stupid menu?" I snapped and I saw the smile vanished from Chantel's face immediately."I am sorry ma'am," She apologized, her voice very down and honest. I instantly regret yelling at her. She was just doing her job. The ones I should be yelling at to my heart contempt were Alex and Maria. She had done me no wrong."I am sorry. Just having a bad day," I calmed myself and apol
"You will do no such thing," he growled. "Then I guess this conversation is over unless you have another reason why you invited me here," I said and he just stared at me as if unsure of what to say. "Leave," he said.I turned and walked away without a word. I headed straight to my office and began my work for the day. I worked on a few files and submitted them to Alex via email to look through and share his feedback. I had earlier prepared and shared with him his itinerary for the day. I checked my time and dialled Alex's extension."Hello, Mr Williams, your afternoon meeting scheduled for 1 p.m., starts in twenty minutes," I said and waited for his acknowledgement."Thank you. Do you have the presentations ready?" he asked."Yes, I have already sent them to you," I replied."Okay. Get ready to present them," he said and I froze for a couple of seconds before acknowledging and ending the call. He wanted me to go to the meeting with him and do the presentation. I thought. No problem
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

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
