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 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
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
