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 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
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

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
