I recognized the woman. She was the woman who had walked into my ward while I was lying on the hospital bed. She wasn't alone. She had two men in a suit walking with her. They looked formidable. I remained seated as I watched them walk towards me."Ma'am, she is," Chantal announced and the woman walking behind her with two other men stood to the side looking at me with disdain.I stared back at her with no expression after nodding to Chantel who quickly excused us. Alex's mother. I remembered her. I just wondered what she wanted. "You have become a torn in my son's flesh. You tormented him for three years and when you decided to leave, barely four months have gone by and you are back to tormenting him," she growled. "I came here to warn you to stay away from my son. There is only one thing I will appreciate you for doing, and that is getting the hell out of my son's life. Stay out of his life and I can assure you peace but if you don't I will give you hell on earth," she added through
Hearing Alex's voice while on the phone with Leo, I knew something bad would happen if I don't go downstairs quickly. I got down from the bed and rushed out of my room.

"Are you asking me to get an abortion?" I asked standing to my feet to face him."Yes, that is another man's child growing inside you. Get rid of it," Alex replied staring at me intensely."A life is a life. It doesn't matter who started it. I am not getting an abortion," I said and folded my arms a
"Your room you say. This place belongs to my son. You are just a squatter. One I intended to get rid of within the shortest possible time," she sneered.I grabbed my phone and dialled 911. I brought the phone to my ears and I saw her squint her eyes."What are you doing?" she asked me but I ignored
I stared at the face of the woman standing before me smiling from ear to ear searching my memory as she looked familiar. I finally remembered her."Kira?" I asked to confirm offering her a shake but realized her face changed when I mentioned her name."You remember me?" she asked awkwardly."Yes, I
I went back into my office and the phone on my table rang the moment I entered. I sat down and answered it."The next time you walk into my office without an invitation, you are fired," I heard Alex say and I pulled the receiver back, and stared at it briefly before putting it back to my ears."Yes,
After the call with Vera, I became devasted. I felt bad for destroying a relationship. I wondered what my reason was for doing such a thing. Even though I don't recall anything like that happening, Vera confirming Kira and Alex were a couple was forcing me to believe Kira's story. I didn't feel lik
I slowly opened my eyes and felt the softness of a pillow behind my head. I scanned my environment and realized I was in a bedroom. I sat up quickly but was hit with a headache. My hand flew to my head as I squeezed my face in pain. I squinted my eyes and looked around me as I sat on the bed with my
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
