OLIVIA

"What's that sound?" I said in a frightened and low tone as I stood up from the rocking chair by the pool.

I didn't know exactly where to go but I went in either way.

“Andrew! Andrew!!” I called out repeatedly but no response.

“Where could he have gone to, just now?”

I went upstairs to search the rooms but I couldn't find him.

Something else caught my eye. It was his shoes. They were placed beside the bed and his glass cup was sitting beside it.

I became suspicious. Something is not right.

First the strange sound and now Andrew's shoes.

I shouted his name one more time hoping to get a response but there was nothing of such.

I stood at the windows and looked downstairs at the pool but he wasn't there either.

“Andrew! Please where are you? If this is you teasing me, please stop it. I'm already scared.”

There was no response.

Everywhere was quiet. I seem to be the only one left here.

I became more scared than I was earlier.

“Andrew wouldn't just leave me behind or did I do somet

    ANDREWI fucked up.I shouldn't have spent so much time outside.All of these wouldn't have happened.I stood at the entrance as the car with Olivia, drove away.She must feel really bad but what could my mother have said to her that made her like that?I went back in to look for my mother.“So your new employee is the one you've been giving special treatment?” My mother's voice came to me as I entered the house.“I see you are now spending on her and even bringing her down to this place.”“Do you think that's wise, Andrew?”I took a step back. Mother was so quick with her hands. She could raise her hands and give me a hot slap if I wasn't cautious.“Mother, I already explained to you. This lady is not just an ordinary employee. I..............” I began but Mother interrupted as usual.“Yes, yes. I know. The one you helped and later began to admire. Fine but just so you know she might be another gold digger who just wants to force herself into the family. Remember what we had to fac

    OLIVIA“Why am I even so bothered with the call?”“Why am I worried all of a sudden?”“Why do I even care?““Stella wouldn't delay to look the other way if I was the one being hospitalised!”“Why would the hospital even call me?"“Liam was there. Her boyfriend or whatever he is to her. Why not him? Why me?”I hated the way I was feeling. I had vowed never to talk to her anymore and now I just got the most disturbing call that she was involved in a fatal car accident.A part of me still cared about her despite all that had happened.Andrew offered to give me a ride to the hospital before going to work.I was going to wait till later in the day but he permitted me to skip work to be with Stella.It was like an hour's drive to the hospital.Andrew was so focused on driving that he barely looked at me. At first, I thought he was pissed at the situation and didn't want me to notice it.But as we arrived at a clearing, he turned and smiled at me. “Don't worry, everything will be fine with

    LIAM'S POV“That Stella girl just wants me to look like a fool in front of her friend.”“How dare she?” “Am I not the first person she ought to call?”What kind of game is she trying to play?“Hmmm.... trying to prove smart, uh?”“I would show her who I am!”I don't know what her plan is but I will find out.As I turned, I saw Olivia walk out of the ward.This is my chance to talk to her.“Stella, what is the meaning of this? How did you get yourself into an accident? You don't even like driving!” I said.“What exactly are you trying to do here 'cause I know all of this is just one of your theatrics!”“Please don't even raise your voice at me. I am not feeling well," she answered.I laughed.Stella was one tricky person.Even though I know that! This can't be genuine.I refuse to believe it.“So you're telling me you did get involved in an accident? Interesting, Stella but hear this, I'm not buying it!”She didn't respond.She lay on the bed, mute, pretending not to hear all I was sa

    OLIVIAStella is nothing but a liar!”I walked out of the hospital angrily after confronting her.I heard someone's footsteps behind me. I knew it was Liam but I didn't respond.I entered the car and told the driver to zoom off immediately.“Ma'am, is everything alright?” the driver asked.I didn't even bother to answer him. I was glued to my phone as I tried to send a text to Andrew.I was angry and disappointed. I needed to calm myself and someone to talk to.Andrew was the only one I could do that with. Why is she just so mean to me? After everything she had done In the past to me? How could she think of doing this to me?“I'm surprised as well,“ Andrew's voice came out calmly.“I thought she was changed for good,” he added.“I thought so too,“ I said as I played with his hair while he sat beside me.“Why are you looking at me that way?” I added when I noticed how Andrew stared at me.“Don't mind me. I was thinking of a beautiful way to make you happy. You know, just to take yo

    OLIVIA“He is not yours and he will never be yours!”“You are nothing but a gold digger!”Her eyes were blazing red as she shouted at me.I stood at that spot paralyzed like I wasn't only immobile but mute as well.I couldn't even defend myself.“Who is this angry woman standing in front of me and why is she raising her voice at me?” I thought to myself.She wouldn't stop attacking me. First, her intimidating tone then her overshadowing presence.Before I knew it, I felt her hands landing on my face.It was a hot slap!!It was as though my mouth began to utter words that I couldn't hear. Before I knew it, I jumped up from my bed, screaming.My hands and face was already soaked with sweat as I pant heavily.“Oh Gracious Mary! It was all a dream.”“What sort of nightmare is this?”Ever since the incident of Andrew and that young lady a weekend ago, I just couldn't seem to get my head off that scenario.Now it appears she has come to haunt me in my dreams.I couldn't sleep anymore.

    OLIVIAI fidgeted.Who is this and where did he come from?Andrew seemed so calm.He just pulled me closer to him and stood still.Was this another episode of Rosa but the male version?Am I about to hear another accusation?“What are you doing here?” Andrew asked.I felt a bit relieved. Andrew seemed to know this person with the way they talked.“Elliot, what are you doing here?” Andrew asked again.“I'm here to see Mom or can't I see my Mother again?““I never said that. You can go in. But whatever it is, you have to be quick. We are expecting some contractors.”Oh! His brother. Wait, that's Elliot Huxley? The elder brother?“Andrew, is that your brother?”“Yes, just ignore him for now. Now back to what I was saying.” Andrew whispered.“I need you to crosscheck every single thing that would be coming out of each and everyone's mouth in that meeting.”“There is a big file inside there, it contains the agreement and discussion that surrounds the contact phase and policies.

    OLIVIA“This is too much, Andrew.”“A car! It looks so expensive. I can't be in this. I can't drive this.”“Shhhhhh. Don't you dare say that! There is nothing too big for you to have as a personal property and I want you to ride in this to work every single day,” Andrew said in an assuring tone.“But I can't drive.....”“That shouldn't be a worry. I'd get you a driver and you would also learn during your free time.”I was excited.I felt like hugging him so tight and not letting go.It was as though he knew what was going on in my head as he spread his arms wide for a hug.I decided to make it more romantic and curled my hands gently around his neck and pushed in closely for a passionate kiss.We kept kissing till his phone's vibration interrupted the moment.“I'm sorry,” he said as he tried to mute the call.“You don't have to. Just pick up the call, Andrew,” I smiled.“The call can wait. I don't want this moment to end,” he smiled.We continued the mission but the calls kept interru

    Robert HuxleyMy heartbeat raced with fear.Did I just hear right?Romeo, the man who made available every resource I used for Project X had just been arrested?That was trouble!Big trouble!!Joe wasn't so audible on the phone. I figured he was on the run or something.I turned to Andrew."Go and meet your brother. I need some time alone."If the police had caught up with Romeo, that could have meant trouble for Joe and me too.Romeo was into a lot of illegal tech biz. I have full reason to believe some of the devices at his workhouse were stolen.They were heavy machines that could only be owned by high-profile tech organizations.I wonder how one person could own and control that in such a small warehouse.I became paranoid all of a sudden.I needed to leave as soon as possible. At least away from here for now."What if he tells the authorities about everything? Then I would be in much bigger trouble. He knows everything.

    Robert Huxley“Come here son,” I said to my second son, Andrew.I knew about what he and his brother had been doing whilst I was supposedly asleep or not looking.But there was something else I noticed.Whilst my eldest son was after the stack of cash in my cupboard, Andrew was more interested in my secret business, project X; my very main source of income.“Is there anything you want to talk to me about?” I asked him.“No.. no….no, Dad,” he stammered.“Are you sure about that?” I asked further.This time around, he kept quiet.He paused for a while and answered in haste afterward “No, Dad.”I put my arms around his neck and walked him to the garden just at the corner of the house.“You and your elder brother have been messing around my office lately,” I started.I saw the surprised look on his face when I said that. He tried to deny it but I acted like I believed him.I know your elder brother has been stealing from me but I don't have any issue with that. “It's my money and I am wo

    Chapter 43Robert HuxleyI saw that look on Joe's as we approached the farmer's shop or whatever it is he called that place.That look you give a servant when his master is about to show him the secret of his possessions."Is everything alright, Joe?" I asked.He nodded in response. "Please don't fuck this up for me. I have a reputation to protect, Robert," he replied."Don't worry about nothing, Joe. I can do this. I won't let you down," I answered in haste.As we got in, there were a lot of men operating several computers and electronic devices as well as ladies who were dressed half-naked, caressing the men as they worked."What's this place?" I whispered to Joe."The farmhouse."It was nothing like a farmhouse. I was this close to turning back until something caught my attention; a pile of dollars.It must be like a million bucks. How does someone have such an amount of money and leave it lying around carelessly?"You look at that? It's nothing," one of the men interrupted.He we

    SOME YEARS BACK,ROBERT HUXLEYI can't keep living like this.I just can't.My wife.My children. How do I take care of them?Working in Dunes isn't paying me so well.I can't be doing this. Working from morning till night only to be paid a chicken fee.I need to find a solution.A workable one."So what do you intend to do?" Joe said.Joe was my friend.A colleague who studied the same course as me; Accountancy.We were potential big boys. That was what he had always called us from school.He was richer. But I was never envious of his wealth and how comfortable he lived.Countless times I paid him visits. We ate and drank together and even made merry.That question rang aloud in my head."What do I intend to do?"I had no answer to that question.Not even at this moment. I was pretty confused. Clueless of what to do next."Joe, you have to help me out. I need your help," I started."What's that, friend?" He asked with an expression that showed utmost concern."I want to make money

    CHAPTER 41ANDREWMy ears tingled at the sound of that familiar voice."Who would dare storm into the office like that?" I thought.Looking back, it was Uncle Joe. My father's closest friend whom he calls his brother."I said stop the merry!" He shouted."How dare you throw a party for a son without his father present?" He jested as he threw his arms around me."Uncle Joe!" I said."I never knew you were back.""Well, surprise! Or aren't you happy to see me?" I said"Of course I am, Uncle Joe. When did you arrive in New York City?""A few days ago, son. Here, I got you a present," he said, bringing out a brown envelope from his right pocket.What is this?What is he doing?I smiled. "Uncle Joe," I called out as I tried to unseal the envelope.I was quite anxious. The last person I got a gift from was my dad and that was the most expensive car in the city.I wonder what Uncle Joe had planned.I saw another brown paper inside the envelope and I brought it out to read the contents."Unc

    OLIVIA"Is Stella joking or what?"Did she just say Elliot Huxley?The same Elliot Huxley, Andrew's brother.It can't be.How is this even possible? I looked at her in awe.What nonsense am I hearing? "Stella, pregnant for Elliot?"I froze."Are you alright?""How can you say such?" I asked."Say what?" "What happens to Liam?" She laughed. It was the coldest thing I had seen her do.I fear her. I wonder how Liam would feel when he hears all of this."Well, I have no shame. And just so you know, my real love lies with Elliot. I had known him even before now," she explained.How is this even possible?How did she and Elliot get to meet? How did the love and sex begin between them?Was that before she took Liam from me or after? All of these questions ran through my mind as she stood in front of me.She didn't even look bothered."I just chose to tell you cause very soon you will be seeing more of me around Elliot," she said and laughed out loud.Wow! Looks like the player got played.

    OLIVIAIt's been a week now since I got the threat notes.I still haven't told Andrew about it.Now I look over my shoulder anytime and every time.That very day I got back from work, I came down with a serious migraine.My body began to ache and my bones were weak.I didn't even get the chance to pull off my clothes completely.“This is so unusual. I can't be sick,” I said to myself as I lay on the couch.My hands on my forehead and feet spread wide like I was preparing for childbirth.I thought of calling Andrew but I had already given him enough trouble.This time around, I am handling it myself.I can't have them thinking I am using him to my advantage.I struggled to pick up my phone.It was then I noticed I didn't lock the door properly.The aches must have gotten my attention.“I hope I met you home alone this time around?” A familiar voice came from the entrance.I looked up and it was Stella.She was looking fatigued.A part of me wanted to care and ask her what the problem

    CHAPTER 38ELLIOTI looked at the expression on Liam's face.It was rather discouraging. A mix of shock of fear.Like I just threw a bomb in front of him.I can't have him going around with Stella.What business does he have with her? Why?I frowned at him as he kept staring at me after I had showed him the pictureWe stared at each other before he decided to break in silence.“She can't be your girl, Elliot!” He said repeatedly. He spoke so clearly like he was certain of what he was saying. “I wouldn't want this to cause a dispute between us, Liam. Who exactly is she to you?” I asked…Pretending not to be angry at his boyfriend's confrontation still.“She is my bitch!” He answered sharply. “Your bitch?!”“Yes, you heard me right. We've had sex multiple times while I was with Olivia and even right after your brother decided to pull his rich boy strings on my wife, Stella and I were sharing the same bed,” he explained. For a moment, I thought he was going to laugh off after saying a

    STELLA"What's going on?""Why does my head feel so heavy?"I looked around and I felt like the whole building was upside down.Blurry visions, headaches, and all sorts.All at once I rent my head like they own it."Ma'am, you would have to be coming on the scheduled appointment to see the doctor," the nurse who stood beside my bed, said.I was still puzzled by the whole thing.Am I pregnant?Does he know?How would he take all of this?I need to make a call.Can I make a call? It's quite important," I said to the nurse who was in the room with me.Just before that, he walked in."Hey Liam, you are here," I greeted."What is this trash I am hearing, Stella? You are pregnant?""That wasn't the deal.""What are you saying? So what would happen to my baby?" "Oh come on. You are not a child. We both know I can't accept that kid from you. It can't be mine!" Liam responded in a loud tone.He paced around. The nurse walked out gently when she noticed the unsettling atmosphere in the room.I
