Olivia POVI returned to my office. I leaned against the door after closing it behind me. I exhaled deeply and walked to my desk. I checked the time and it was twenty minutes to the meeting with the clients. I sat down behind my desk and quickly updated my presentation with the details I received from the HR Manager. I rechecked my time, picked up my laptop and exited my office. I hurried my steps towards the elevator. I pressed the button for the elevator and it opened immediately revealing Alexander. I stared at him briefly and stepped into the elevator without saying anything. I figured I pressed the elevator button immediately it closed after Alexander had entered. I pressed the button for the third floor where the meeting would take place."Are you ready?" I heard Alexander ask me standing next to me."Yes," I replied without sparing him a glance. It was dead silence after that till the elevator reached the third floor and I stepped out as soon as it opened. Alexander exited the
"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
Alexander's/Damien's POVTwo medical officers entered the ward and rushed to my side. They tried to stop me from getting off the bed."My wife is in trouble. I have to go find her," I said as they tried to hold me down."Sir, you need to relax. You just woke up from a coma hours ago," I heard the do
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
