THE BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED GIRLFRIEND CHAPTER 37
Olivia"Ah!" I gasped, when Asher caught me midair, just before my epic fall.My heart was beating rapidly against my chest as I clung tightly unto the collar of his shirt.We just stared at each other for a while, our eyes spilling untold emotions. I watched carefully as Asher's eyes darted from my face, to the pool, and then the heels on my feet.He gently helped me back and the next thing he did, surprised the shit out of me.After Asher had taken me away from the pool, he swooped me off my feet into his wide comfortable arms. Not for a minute did I ever take my eyes off him.Subconsciously, I wrapped my arms around his neck, still watching his face.Asher took me to the bench and carefully dropped me there.I was too surprised by his sudden appearance before my crash into the pool. I couldn't even stop him when he started to take the shoes off."Allow me to do that sir." Gloria offered, snapping out of her own shock and walking over to the bench "You've done a lot already Gloria.

OliviaAsher had refused to stand down. He maintained that I had to be a perfect kisser before we went for his family dinner.We were definitely not going to have to kiss for long seconds.Why then was it so relevant to him that I became extra good at kissing and reciprocating a kiss?Over and over, he would kiss me, and ask me to kiss him back or he would ask me to initiate the kiss instead.I never knew there were even rules to being a good kisser.What was it with rich people and living every moment of their lives according to rules, anyway?The first step to being a good kisser, was being confident enough to initiate a kiss, even in front of a huge crowd.And of course, one would never be confident enough to do that if he didn't possess good breath and what Asher called face charm.Face charm was simply the ability to lock eyes with the one that would be kissed.After he said that, I realized staring at me all through dinner was all face charm.I should have known.I didn't need m

AsherIt was indeed a struggle for me, staying away from Olivia. She really didn't have to remain in the room with me. I only made her stay because I wanted her presence.I hated to admit it, but I had grown to enjoy being around Olivia. She's only been here for three days but I had grown used to being around her.Probably because it's been ages since I last had someone stay over.After Sebastian's ordeal with his ex, we had sort of grown apart. I couldn't stop telling him "I told you so" and he had gotten sick of it.Well, I did tell him to be careful of the girls he dated. One time, we got into a heated argument and ever since, we never stayed over at each other's houses.But thanks to Olivia, we've grown our brotherhood once again. She was like an angel of light, gradually illuminating the dark parts of my life. Unfortunately, my mother had become the darkness in my life this time.Hopefully once the contract was over, she wouldn't bother me so much anymore.Once the contract exp

OliviaI bit the insides of my cheek to stop myself from smiling widely.We were currently on our way to Asher's family house. While I and Asher occupied the front seats, Gloria kept staring at us from the back.Over and again, she teased me for being Asher's girlfriend. That was actually the reason we had taken a long time to get me ready.Even though she came with different clothes, she still made my choice for me.I didn't think it was appropriate for me to wear a revealing dress to Asher's family dinner but Gloria had insisted that I did.I felt a little guilty seeing that she was putting so much effort in making me look attractive while I was only a contract girlfriend.I rolled my eyes at her as I caught her wiggling her brows at me.Asher on the other hand only made the situation worse.I felt too aware of myself as his eyes constantly darted over to me, times without number.I had to look out the window, to distract myself from him."And here we are." Someone finally spoke up.

Olivia"You know each other?" Anna spoke up.I turned to her immediately, confused on what to say.Asher just stared at me, his brows pulled together in confusion."Uhm…" Rita spoke up, laughing lightly as she gave me the what-the-hell- are-you-doing-here look which of course, I returned.I didn't even know what to say or do.I couldn't deny knowing Rita and I really didn't want to ruin Asher's plans.What if he had told his family something else about my identity?"Anna..uh…you remember when I told you about my childhood friend?" Rita spoke to Anna who nodded slowly, looking at me suspiciously."Yeah?""Well, here she is." Rita announced.Nobody said anything for several seconds, we only exchanged looks."Tada!" Rita added, chuckling nervously."Wow." Anna smiled, rubbing her tummy."She is beautiful, like you said." Did Anna Smith just call me beautiful?!I smiled a little, still confused on what to say."Nice to meet you Olivia. Rita has said so much about you." She added, stretc

AsherI sat in the living room, staring into thin air.I thought if I stared long enough, I might just fall asleep and wake up to realise all of this was just a bad dream.Unfortunately, seconds passed, minutes turned to hours and the entire night passed.The clock struck 3'0 clock am. Why did she have to drink in all?!I wanted to blame Olivia for taking all the wines my mother had offered her.But then, I guess my mother made her just too nervous.So nervous, she focused more on using the right cup, forgetting the wine content in it.After my sister showed up with her 'friend', I realized Rita was just one of my mother's schemes to take out Olivia.But why hadn't Olivia told me about her?'It's not your duty to know everyone she knows.' I mentally reminded myself.However, she could have said something about Rita.Anything at all.I was grateful my mother had seen Olivia that day. I was planning on giving her a false identity. Now I realize that if I had, it would have all blown up

OliviaMy eye lids were too heavy for me to raise. But I still struggled too and when I did, I realized it was the worst decision I had ever made.I felt a loud bang at the back of my head, forcing me to close my eyes shut again. When I did, the terrible migraine minimised. I tried opening my eyes once again but the migraine returned as soon as I did."Ouch!" I whinced, shutting my eyes closed again."Hey, are you okay?" I heard someone say beside me.It was probably due to the headache, but it sounded like Rita speaking.But she's supposed to be in Spain.What could she be doing in New York?"Olivia?" As soon as the voice spoke again, flashes of everything that happened the last time I was conscious, flooded my memory.I remembered Asher's sister introducing the Smiths to my best friend, Rita!I flung my eye lids wide open, ignoring the match past going on at the back of my head. "Rita?" I called out, recognizing her even through my foggy vision."Hey." She cooed, playing with my fi

AsherI rushed up to my room where we had brought Olivia into when she passed out.Luckily, my grandmother practiced as a nurse before she married my grandfather. She was able to give Olivia some treatments to help her health.She had run her a bath too and thanks to the clothes I left behind, Olivia had something else to wear."Olivia?" I called as I made my way into the room.She looked away from her friend, to stare at me. It was funny but cute how she looked even smaller in my old sweat shirt.Just how small was this lady?"Asher?" She called me, her voice laced with guilt."Hey." I cooed, tucking my hands in my pocket as I went closer to her and placed a kiss on her lips, playing with her hand."Good morning Mr Smith." Her best friend greeted.What was her name again?"Uhm…. This is my best friend, Rita." Olivia introduced, with a smile."Rita this is my boyfriend, Asher." She added."Nice to officially meet you Mr Smith." Rita said to me, stretching out her hand for a handshake

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
