THE BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED GIRLFRIEND CHAPTER 27
OliviaAfter informing me of my resumption date, Asher just walked away.What is it with rich people?How could he just tell me that I had been employed into a multi million dollar company, without any interview, and then act like it was nothing?"Of course it's nothing to him, he's Asher Smith. That annoying voice in my head said.The news of my employment was supposed to make the atmosphere even warmer but Sebastian's change of mood ruined everything.And I'm to blame for it all .Speaking of Sebastian…..Asher had said something about not mentioning 'it' to me.What did that mean?Not like I wanted to be unnecessarily inquisitive, I just felt like I needed to know.Sebastian was my friend. Well yes, I regarded him as a friend the moment I saw him. Seeing him in such mood just made me…..cold.Did Mrs Smith possibly have anything to do with this?Curse my forward nature!I should not have asked, just yet. Now that I knew it was something serious, so serious it changed Sebastian's mo

Asher I exited my study and headed straight for my room. I just wanted to take a short nap before teaching Olivia basic dinner courtesy. My mom would be really looking forward to dragging Olivia out over one simple error. I must do everything I can to make sure she didn't spot a single fault in Olivia. I paused at the door when I heard voices and……footsteps? In my bedroom? What the hell? Kicking into defence mode, I held my laptop tightly. Had someone broken into the house? Who had broken in? How did they get past security? Did they already get to Olivia? How long were they in here already? Different thoughts ran through my mind as I turned the door knob. But when I did open the door….. I met my best friend and my pretend girlfriend, in an unexpected position. They were on my bed, a second from kissing each other. "What is happening here?" I asked them, watching as they scrambled to their feet. I don't think I would ever be able to live the rest of my life ignoring

AsherWhy did I have the feeling that my mother had actually influenced this? Well, it didn't matter what she did. I was still going to introduce her as my girlfriend to the public anyway, it's all part of the plan.I tried to concentrate on the remaining work I had but it was just too hard. Images of Sebastian and Olivia kept playing in my head.Of course I knew Sebastian would never try anything shitty with Olivia, I knew that so damn well.It just baffled me how quickly they had gotten along.Was I really that difficult to befriend?Or was I just not trying hard enough?"There's no reason for you to care Asher. She's only the other party in your contract." I reminded myself, rubbing the back of my head.I slammed my laptop close and then returned to my room.To my surprise, Olivia wasn't in the bed.Where was she?I looked around but didn't find her. I checked the toilet, and even the bathroom but she wasn't there.My instincts immediately took my attention to Sebastian's room. "Y

OliviaIt was difficult falling asleep knowing that a man, was just two pillows away from me.Well, I had put two pillows vertically, to separate the bed. I didn't want to initially, because I had no right. It was his bed anyway but it was just too uncomfortable.Asher didn't seem to mind. Few minutes after he got into bed, I started hearing his light snores. So he snored?I turned over, sneaking a peek at him. He looked peaceful and untroubled in his sleep. I bet he wanted to sleep forever and forget all the responsibilities of being New York's Asher Smith, and the burdens of being his mother's son.Part of his hair was scattered over his face. Was it because he was blonde or was his face just glowing in the dark? My fingers itched to run themselves down his smooth porcelain skin.What is wrong with you Olivia?!"It's just a contract, only a contract." I reminded myself before returning to my side of the bed.Minutes passed and before I gave out a long yawn.The last thing I saw, was

OliviaAnd with one last suck on my lower lip, he let me go. "Now that's how you give a proper kiss." He said, taking his hands off me. For a while, I was too shocked to even move, too dazed to even speak."Mhmm." I hummed and nodded when I finally found my voice. I got off him and rolled to the other side of the bed before getting off it.Asher did too. He stretched as the duvet slipped off his body."W…..w…Why are you shirtless?" I asked him, still in the kiss moment.Would I even ever get out of it?"Oh." Was all he said before picking up a black material from the floor. It was his shirt."I take off my clothes during my sleep." He said, strolling past me.What?!Who the hell does that? It wasn't like the room was hot!Well, it got a little heated up when Asher kissed me back."I really don't know why I do that but I guess it's become a habit." He smiled, turning to face me.Okay now, I couldn't take my eyes off his chest. It looked like it belonged to a freaking greek god!Well,

Olivia"Sebastian?!" I and Asher screamed simultaneously.What the fuck?!"You said he was still in his room?" I frowned, turning to Asher.The look on his face showed that he was as surprised as I was."Honestly, I thought he was." He responded in a low voice, taking his attention back to the brown haired man in front of us."Hi guys." He beamed at us. Well, at least he dropped the formality and said hi this time."How are you here?" Asher asked him, taking further steps into his office.I did same too and just as I had anticipated, Asher's office was classically complex.It wasn't just plain, or modern. It was creative but in a formal way and the paintings which had been made directly on the wall brought even more class to the office.He seemed to have a thing for paintings."Well, while you two were arguing about when to kiss and when not to…." Sebastian paused, staring at Asher and I with that corny look he had back at the theater.I can't believe he actually heard all of that. We

Asher"Mother?"How did Sebastian not see her coming in?Did she know of Sebastian's plan and then wait for him to leave before coming in?Well, I wouldn't be surprised if that were the situation."Good morning son." She smiled at me, keeping a too-obvious distance from Olivia.Speaking of Olivia…..I didn't want her to feel uncomfortable at the house, knowing that my mother could get in whenever she wanted.Asides from having this job as a cover-up for her dad, her safety was another reason I had employed her here.I got off my seat, staring at my mother."Good morning ma'am." Olivia managed to snap out of the shock we were both in, and greet her.But being the woman that she was, my mother completely ignored Olivia."I see you brought this filthy thing here." She hissed, showing her disagreement over Olivia's presence."I won't have you insult my girlfriend mother!" I forewarned and my mother only laughed out, loudly."Oh common son! You can't fool your mother, you know. Even if you

OliviaI took my flace closer to the tinted glass wall to see what was happening in Asher's office but unfortunately, I still couldn't see anything.It was clear to me now that the walls were made so that one could only see outside from inside, but not inside from outside.It was soundproof too so I couldn't hear anything but I bet Asher was in a heated argument with his mother.He looked too angry before I left, like he could break something or someone, anything at all.His mother on the other hand, looked like she was ready to fuel his anger.I wanted to regret not walking away when Asher gave me the chance to but I knew it was way past late to do that now.What was her problem with me anyway?Asides the fact that I was black and not at the same social status with her, she just seemed to have a special hatred for me."Why didn't Asher consider his mother's obsession over high class ladies and go for someone like that? Definitely he was going to find someone that could act strictly a

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
