Chapter 26 - Connor POV
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Connor POV
I am sat by Olivia’s hospital bed. Ally is in the bed next to her. I managed to convince the staff here to place them in the same room to stop the inevitable argument later when they wake up and want to check on each other.
Ally was beaten quite badly but after some scans they have determined that they have no internal damage. Olivia has dark bruises around her neck, a broken nose and two black eyes. Seeing her like this breaks me. I wasn’t there. I didn’t protect her. Neil is in surgery, he stepped in where I couldn’t and I will forever be grateful to that man.
My parents enter the room and I break down. They rush to my side as sobs wrack my chest. I heave trying to catch my breath as I say.
We are nearing the end of Connor and Olivia's story. Thank you to all my wonderful readers. Please drop your gems and leave comments. I would love to hear from you <3Jade Hardy

Olivia POV I don’t think I will ever find a man quite like Connor again in my life. The man is incredible. Sexy, funny, kind and caring while still being ambitious and amazing in bed. I love him so much. I say hello to Hank as I cross the lobby and enter the elevator. I just need to get some files out for Mr Arch before Monday. He sent me an email saying it was imperative that he had those files on his desk by then so here I am. The man needs to get his own assistant, sometimes I think he forgets I am Connor’s personal assistant not his. I cross the lobby and check my desk for the files before remembering I had put the away in Connor’s office. Silently cursing my own organisation, I enter the room and move towards the cabinet when a blinding pain stalls me and I fall t

My swollen feet and aching back agree with me.

Secret Glances Chapter 1 - Connor POV
She nibbles on my earlobe and it feels like heaven. It’s been a while since I’ve felt this intimate with anyone. I can feel her weight on top of me and she smells of…...dog?! I open my eyes to see that Roxy is licking my ear. She wants a walk. She does this every morning but this is the first time I’ve had a dream to accompany the wake up call. I really need to find a way to rid myself of all this pent up energy. In all honesty I feel a little pathetic as I sit up, the duvet sliding down to my waist as I stroke her soft head. Roxie is my 3 year old German Shepherd and I am not ashamed to say that she is my best friend. This girl has seen me through some fucking hard times and I don’t know how I would have made it through the other side without her. I love her to pieces. “Okay girl I’m getting up now.” I respond as she perks up her ears and tilts her head to the side. You know that way dogs
Secret Glances Chapter 2 - Olivia POV
Olivia's POV “Going up” The elevator voice sang. I was running late and I hate being late. My hot water had decided to desert me so I’d spent twenty minutes trying to fix the boiler before calling an engineer this morning. I’m going to have to ask my new boss for the afternoon off on his first day which was already filling me with anxiety without adding my lack of punctuality into the mix. Normally my morning run helped ease my nerves when I’m stressed especially when Mr. drop dead gorgeous and his German Shepherd are at the park. With his curly mahogany locks and chiseled features, he looked like a Greek god. He was wearing a baseball cap this morning but that just made him look ruggedly handsome with his 5 o’clock shadow. People enter and leave the elevator which is adding to my lateness. We were currently on level seven and I’ve got to get to level twelve. I hope my new boss is a decent human unlike my
Secret Glances Chapter 3 - Connor POV
Connor’s POV Seeing her this close is like a revelation. She is beautiful. Not even in an understated way. She is fucking stunning. I had a moment in the kitchen when I just wanted to slam her into a wall and kiss those plump, pouty lips of hers. Fuck, I wish I could but I can’t. I am now technically her boss. We need to have a healthy professional relationship. I make myself a promise to glance but not touch. Secret glances. Just to admire her. I need to control myself. A knock at the door drags me from thoughts of her and I move from behind my desk to answer it. As I suspected it’s Al. “Well if it isn't Mr. work my way to the top!” he beams as he pulls me in for a bro hug. “Come on in! Olivia can you come in about an hour so we can run through today's schedule?” She nods to confirm and I turn my
Secret Glances Chapter 4 - Connor POV
Connor POV Hearing my name come out of her perfect mouth send shivers and all the blood downwards. I hand her my personal business card as she leaves my office. Her delectable scent lingers and I take a deep breath. I look through the schedule she has left me for the remainder of the day and she has organised it from most important to least leaving a post it note on top in her beautiful handwriting stating the reason for doing so is in case the important meetings run over. She is smart, and sexy and charming and everything I imagined her to be when I saw her at the park everyday. Do I dare to imagine? Half an hour passes and my phone dings. O: Connor, I didn't have time to pop my head in because the engineer had already arrived to fix my boiler.
Secret Glances Chapter 5 - Bethany POV
Bethany POV I wake in a hospital room. This confirms my fear. I’m getting worse. My body confirmed what my brain was telling me as I tried to lift myself up the bed. I coughed and struggled to catch my breath as my beautiful Livvy walked in the door followed by Ally. Ally was Livvy’s person and in this moment I am glad that she had someone to help her be strong. I am tired of being strong. Growing up in poverty you grow up fast. You learn to adapt. You learn not to rely on paychecks or government handouts. They can be cut off at any point. I went to work at the age of 16 and my money was never mine. I put food in our scarcely full bellies. My mother became sick when I was 18 and my father decided watching her die was too difficult

Secret Glances Chapter 25 - Connor POV
Connor POV I really wanted to spend the day with my girl, especially after this morning. She really is the strongest person I know. The way she has handled everything has been insane. I know I wouldn’t have been able to do what she has. Yes, she struggled the day we got the news but who can really blame her for that. She is in therapy now and I really think it is helping her. Baby steps. This morning was the most intense sex I have ever had. She truly is a goddess and I plan on spending the rest of my life with her, I just haven’t found the right moment to tell her, I will ask her to move in first. Alexander seems to have dropped his complaint against her once all the statements and evidence was presented from the HR investigation. Daisy, however i

Olivia POVIt has been weeks and the police are still no closer to finding out who murdered my mum because that’s what it was. Murder. It has been confirmed. She was asphyxiated. My darling mum was smothered. She must have been so scared. I have been really struggling with the guilt of not being there for her in her final moments. Connor’s mum, Claire has been my rock. That petite blonde bombshell is a godsend. She is motherly, but in a way where she isn’t trying to replace my mum. More like an older best friend. Ally has been here when they haven’t been working and I truly appreciate it. Connor, Ally, Claire and Andrew (it’s still weird calling my big boss by his first name but he insists) have convinced me to go to therapy and in all honesty, I am glad I went to my first session this week. My therapist, Louise, is letting me take the reigns. She i
