Chapter 30 Olivia Cruz POV I peeked out of the elevator minutes later, and breathed out when I didn't catch a glimpse of him. "That was close. Thankfully, he didn't see me," I felt a bit relieved as I proceeded to the hall, but my heart sank when I walked inside and saw Knox along with the other
'Is he going to pretend nothing happened? Has he given up just like that?' Somehow, I was disappointed even though I knew I shouldn't be. I was the one who turned him down, right? "Let's focus on work for now, ok?" Slowly, I nodded my head. "You should stop avoiding me. Let's stay like we used to
Chapter 31 Olivia Cruz POV "Are you sure about this, Ollie? I don't have a good feeling about this," Claire held my hand and looked at me worriedly after I told her I'll be moving in with Dante soon. This was what she told me back then when I told her I wanted to move in with him even before our m
"Don't worry, darling. I will sort myself out," I forced a smile at her and headed upstairs. My jaw dropped when I arrived at his master's bedroom. It was three times as wide as our room back in our apartment, with only a few properties inside. It was a typical man's room. Just his king-sized bed,
Chapter 32 'I'm not ready for this yet' Slowly, Dante clenched his fingers around the steering wheel as he pulled over at the side of the road. 'We are not sure yet if I'll be fine after the transplant. You wouldn't want your wife to be blind later, right?' he slammed his hand on the steering whee
His hand shook slightly as he reached for the doorknob then twisted it and pushed the door open. "Who is there?" The pieces of his heart was stomped on when his Mom looked in his direction and could not tell who he was. "It's me, Mom," After a long silence, his weak voice finally came on as a drop
Chapter 33 Olivia Cruz POV 'Hey! Don't forget our hangout tomorrow. I'll come pick you up' I woke up to Knox's text this morning. He must've sent it last night after I went to bed. The sound of running water in the bathroom drew my attention, and for a second, I freaked out, but recalling that I
“Baby is that even a question? There’s no way I’m missing your baby shower. Don’t worry. I’ll be back on time to help plan it plus I’ll be bringing Ryan!.” Claire said excited. “Alright baby. I love you. Have fun.” I said to Claire before ending the call. I stirred slowly as Knox tapped me lig
Chapter 120 Olivia’s POV ONE YEAR LATER “Darling we’re gonna be late. Hurry up!.” Knox yelled out from the living room. I rolled my eyes at how excited he was. We were going to the hospital for a scan to see the gender of our baby. A year had passed since that awful incident where Dant
Whoever had taken her had her kept hostage within the city. I gave a sigh of relief at that knowing it would not take too long to get her back. The police had tried to stop me from going with them but I refused. I had to see Olivia and i had to know who had done this. Who had dared take her away

Chapter 117 Dante’s POV I groaned as Emily asked me the same question for the umpteenth time in an hour. “Emily, I’ve told you there’s nothing to worry about. Nobody will see us as far as you stick to the plan.” I said irritated. “Dante it’s not that easy. Do you even have any idea what w
“Grand ma I swear, I tried my best. I did everything I could but in the end...” “In the end you fell in love with the same girl you were going get the cornea from. About that, I hear that you made another foolish mistake of marrying her and giving her everything this family ever labored for. I’m a
