THE BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED GIRLFRIEND CHAPTER 14
Asher"What?!" I whispered, lowering my head.I wasn't surprised she didn't tell her father. He must mean so much to her for her to agree to my offer without informing him.I was surprised my plan was already going sideways on just our first time out."Shit, shit!" I cussed, staring at the waiter as he went around, attending to my customers.Olivia looked really scared. She was visibly shaking." Look Asher, we have to find a way out of here, for me. I have to leave, right now." She said, her eyes glistening with tears." Let's go."Olivia" Let's go." Asher said, his voice was rough.I took my purse with one hand, and used the other to take Asher's hand.He walked a little too quickly. My ankles hurt as I tried to keep up with his pace.As we made our way out of the restaurant, I kept my head bowed.Gosh!How did I not think of the fact that I could bump into any of dad's friends?Just as we were about to enter the elevator, a voice stopped us." Are you leaving already, Mr Smith?" H

AsherI watched as she struggled with her heels. How could she not know how to walk with heels?Isn't every lady supposed to know that?Eventually, she took them off and started walking away, really fast.Where was she going to anyway?Did she know her way around?" Well, she wouldn't leave if she didn't." I said to myself but a part of me didn't believe it.She didn't even know the mall. How she possibly know her way around this side of New York.Well, she had made up her mind to leave. I can't possibly go after her and drag her back to my car, can I?It just didn't feel right leaving her all by herself, to walk around such a dangerous place. But then, there was nothing I could do.I ignited my engine and reversed.I wanted to take a turn on the street on my left to return home, but I found myself driving into the one on my right, slowly going after her."Ugh! Why am I even doing this?" I groaned, hitting the steering as I watched her fumble with her gown.'Well, maybe you're..... '

Asher"I think Olivia has been kidnapped." I said with clenched teeth, my hands tightening around the steering wheel." What?! How?!!" Sebastian shouted over the phone." Look, I don't know, okay? But I'm on her tail right now. I...." I was still speaking when Sebastian interrupted me."You don't know?! Asher are you even listening to yourself?" He yelled angrily." Look, Seb..."Again, he interrupted me." I told from the beginning that this was a shitty ass plan but what did you do? Hunh?! You went ahead with it. You couldn't even take care of her for one stupid night? How do you possibly think you can fool your mother?" He yelled so loudly, I knew he would have punched me like dirt bag if he were in this car, right now." I know I'm at fault for everything but right now, I don't think it's best that we throw blames in the air. What matters is that we find her safe, okay? Please." I begged Sebastian, hating myself for being such a jerk to her." Are you gonna call the cops?" He aske

OliviaMy throat felt itchy. It took a while for me to feel the flow of air in it again.I felt too weak to open my eyes just yet. I took my right hand to my tummy and rubbed it.The material felt really soft and light and my thumb felt heavy, like it was suddenly bigger.What is that?I opened my eyes halfway and peeped at my hand, there was a bandage on it." What the hell?!" I wanted to say but then, I realized there was something on my face.I brought my bandaged hand to my face and touched it. There was something of a plastic-like nature covering my nose and mouth.I took it off, it was an oxygen mask.I struggled but sat up eventually.I scanned the room, taking not of the drip that had been connected to my wrist, the aluminum tray of fruits and medicines beside my bed.The room was clean and smelled like cleaning antiseptic.I was in a hospital.But why was there a TV in this room?I was about to adjust on the bed when my hand felt something fluffy. I averted my gaze to what it

AsherThe officers kept walking around, picking up and dropping papers on different desks.I sighed loudly, waiting for them to discharge me. I really need to see Olivia right now. I just hope she's okay.If anything happens to her, I'll make those men pay with their lives.Worse still, I'll hate myself forever for being the reason such a thing happened to her. I should have never let her out of the car in the first place."Mr Smith?" The officer called me, interrupting my thoughts.I looked up at him from where I sat."You have been discharged. You're free to go now." He said, making me a little relieved.Just the words I've been waiting for. I could finally go to see Olivia." Thank you." I said, accepting his handshake." No, thank you. We would have never caught those criminals if it weren't for you." He said, smiling at me.This is the first time he's smiled at me since I was brought here this morning." Yeah."I was about to leave when he called me back." Mr Smith?"" Officer?"

Three Days LaterOliviaIt's been three days since my date with Asher, three days since everything happened.Turns out, Asher had called the mall to have one of their staffs deliver my clothes to the hospital. I was so tensed when the nurse had come in with a box in her hand. I felt like I was dreaming when I found my jeans and turtle neck shirt in the box.On our way out, while father had gone to do the required signing at the counter, I excused myself to the restroom.Fortunately for me, Sebastian was waiting there, like he knew I had questions to ask.He explained that Asher had to leave urgently, for work. I appreciated him before leaving.For the past three days, I've been thinking of just one thing, my moment with Asher in that elevator.Was I really sure of what I saw in his eyes or was I just imagining things that would never be real?My phone chimed and I rushed out of bed, to my study table where I had dropped it. When I checked, it was a text from Rita asking after my hea

Olivia"..... would you actually walk away?" I felt my heart sink when those words left his mouth.What?!Is this why he called me out here?" A...... A.... Asher?" I stuttered, unable to hide my shock.He drew a deep breath and continued talking." Look Olivia, one thing I really hate doing, is forcing people to do things they do not wish to do. I never intended to blackmail you into working for me. I was desperate it was just unfortunate that you had to be a victim. Because of me, you almost lost your home, because of me, you got fired, because of me, you almost lost your father's trust, because of me, you were kidnapped and would have even been killed." He paused and looked at me and I swear, I could see how sorry he was and how guilty he felt." I'm really sorry Olivia, I truly am." The moment those words escaped his lips, I saw a different Asher.Not the always frowning and insatiable one, but the regretful one. Even though deep down, I've always wanted to see beyond his thick

Olivia" Move in with you?" I repeated, staring at him blankly." I'm not forcing you to. I mean, that's your decision to make. I'm not gonna say you have to. " He responded, suddenly looking flushed." But that wasn't stated in the contract, right?" Or was I not just remembering?" It's not. I was just suggesting this, to relief your burden. " He said, offering me a half smile." Relief my burden? Asher what are you talking about? " Did he get drunk before coming here?" Well you see, you can't even spend the $15000 I paid you, on your father. You have to convince him that you're actually working, right? And if you told him that right now, he would want to know where you worked. So I thought, you could just tell him you were going far away to work. If you feel uncomfortable lying to him again, that's fine. I could offer you a job in my father's company. I know you're still trying to get on your feet, so until you get a house, you can stay at my place. It's fine if you're not comfort

Several Weeks LaterOliviaA lot has happened since the abduction.Rita faced trial and sentenced to thirty years imprisonment with hard labour.I didn't want to be there at the court but I had to.The kids had spent quality time with my father just like Gloria had.She still hadn't said anything as regards her obvious feelings for my father but I wasn't going to rush her.She had all the time in the world to think carefully about her feelings for him.Jeremy got back once he heard the news of the abduction.He was horrified when I told him more about it, especially about Rita; my best friend being the perpetrator of such evil.It was often said that sometimes, it was the people we know that hurt us the most.Mrs Smith and Rita had in need no doubt, proved that to be true.Now that Jeremy was back, he helped out with setting up my business.I wasn't exactly sure of what I wanted to do but I was eager to try out something new, something that didn't involve me working under anyone."It

OliviaI jumped in fright when the door came down, dust rising in the air.I had to close my eyes for a second and when I opened them again, I saw Asher standing right before me."Asher?" I tried to get to him but the ropes that tightened around my skin reminded me that I couldn't.He noticed this and rushed to me."Olivia? Oh my goodness! What happened? Where is she?" He asked multiple questions as he freed me.I answered none, I had no time to.Once I was completely free, I tried to run in the direction I had seen her go after she said what she was going to do to the twins and I."Where are you going?" Asher dragged me back even before I could make a move.I tried to wriggle out of his grip but I couldn't."She has the kids Asher. She has Kian and Kianna!" I didn't realize that there were tears in my eyes until they began rolling down my face.I had never been this scared of anything before.The image of Rita's malicious laughter that continued popping up in my head reminded me of t

AsherSebastian arrived on time while I alerted the police.Mr Anderson seemed to be troubled by their presence but I was too worried about Olivia's absence that nothing else seemed to matter to me.According to them, they were close to finding her but I knew they were only saying that to make her family and I feel better.They couldn't track her phone, it was like it had been thrown into water.Whoever had called earlier, didn't call anymore which made me more nervous.Usually, when abductors want something, they keep calling and threatening the victim's family until they get what they want in exchange of letting the victim go.But it wasn't the same in this case.The abductor wasn't making any call which made me feel like he might have all of what he wanted already buy only called the other time to know that she had what I loved.I couldn't help but fear that she might try to harm Olivia and the twins.If she made any attempt to, I would make sure to punish her myself before handing

Olivia"Rita?" I gasped, staring at her."H…..h…No, this isn't real!" I tried to assure myself but failed miserably.Now that I listened carefully, Janette sounded just like Rita.Little wonder she felt oddly familiar and I felt strange around her.She was the person I had been looking for, for so long!"I had plastic surgeries done after the incident of the video. I thought that I could win Asher's heart if I came around when you were no longer in his life but that wouldn't work too. Even with you gone, no other girl was able to take your place in his heart. Despite how much he despised you for what he thought you had done to him, he still loved you. It was inexplicable but undeniable, Asher still loved you, deeply." She explained, moving away from the bed."So you never wanted me with Asher all these while? Best friends are always happy for each other's happiness and we were supposed to be best friends, Rita." I felt mad and hurt.I had trusted her so much as more than a friend.Rit

OliviaI felt a sharp pain at the back of my head and my eyes fluttered open instantly.I closed it back afterward, like the pain would magically go away afterward.And surprisingly, it did.I tried to get up only for me to realize that I couldn't.I struggled but I couldn't even get my hands away from my back.I struggled over and over but the more I struggled, the harder it became.I couldn't take my hands away from my back simply because I couldn't but because I had been tied up.How the hell did I end up like this?!The last thing I remembered was getting prepared for my date with Asher.I was supposed to be on my way to New York City if the driver hadn't switched lanes and……That was it!When I tried to argue with him, he locked the car doors and sprayed something in the car.I passed out afterward.Whatever he had sprayed in the car must have been the reason I passed out as I couldn't remember anything after that.I looked around wherever I was but I couldn't see anything but da

AsherSeveral minutes have passed after the time Olivia was supposed to meet up with me.I didn't want to call her because I needed her to take her time and do as she pleased.But her absence here was beginning to get uncomfortable until I was pushed to take out my phone.I placed it on my ear after dialing her number, waiting for to hear her voice from the other side of the phone but that never happened.I dialed her number over and over again but it just rang with her never answering the phone."This is not some joke, Olivia. Pick up your phone." I mumbled under my shaky breath."Would you like to place your order now sir?" The waitress walked up to me and asked for the umpteenth time.I had waved at her not to worry severally, because my date was on her way here and I didn't find it fair to place orders without her presence.I had somehow however, managed to attract the attention of the other customers around.This was a restaurant for couples only and I had over time, reassured th

OliviaMy didn't speak of Asher until later that night.And fortunately, he gave his full support toward my relationship with Asher.At the hospital, he had shown his displeasure in my decision to stick to Asher but decided he could do nothing against it since it had been my decision.But last night, he had told me that he was ready to fully support me.I think seeing the way the kids acted around their father must have made mine consider his decision and support me."You're going to be late if you keep staring at the mirror like that, Lila." Gloria said, suddenly coming out of nowhere and startling me.I visited Asher and his family frequently after we got back from the hospital.So I got in touch with Gloria again.Asher wanted me to return to the company but so much had happened, too much actually, for me to wish to return to that place.So, I was just going to to set up my own business like Jeremy had suggested.Today, I and Asher were going on a date.I also refused to move in wi

Asher"Oh….that…." She stuttered uncomfortably."It's fine if you're not ready to come over yet. I honestly do not wish to make you feel uncomfortable." I quickly said when I realized she hadn't meant what she said to Sebastian.It was unexpected that she had actually let me into Kian and Kianna's lives.I didn't want it to seem like I was taking advantage of her kind heart and making her do things she wasn't comfortable doing.She shifted on the chair and just looked outside the car at the house like she could see through it."I've not decided on that yet." She spoke up after a long moment of silence and I nodded."I understand. Whenever you're ready, you could just call me to come pick you and the kids." I responded and she nodded, smiling genuinely."I guess this is goodbye then." She got ready to leave the car."Wait….!" I called her back, pulling her in for a kiss.My lips were almost on hers when she withdrew."What are you doing?" She whispered, her breath fanning my face."Oh…

OliviaAsher and the twins woke up shortly after I left the ward and Sebastian helped them get ready.I was right about my dad going back home to bring some clothes and food for the twins and I.And just as I had planned with Sebastian, I took the clothes and food he brought for me."Do you think Kianna and Kian would still want to come home with me?" My dad asked when I returned from the restroom where I changed."Why do you think they wouldn't want to? They've been so eager to see you." I responded, taking a seat beside him.Ever since Sebastian and Asher made it to the hospital last night, my dad's mood had completely changed.I could tell that he was worried.Initially, I thought it was only about Asher, regarding everything that had happened in the past.But now, it seemed he was bothered beyond that."It's just that, their dad's here now. I can't help but feel like they would forget about me so soon. Usually, they would want to be around me but since last night, they've just sti
