THE BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED GIRLFRIEND CHAPTER 41
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

OliviaI had woken up in Asher's arms and for some reason, it felt normal. I didn't feel weird.How Weird.I would have stayed locked up in Asher's room if I could but of course, I couldn't.I almost passed out due to anxiety and nervousness of having to see Mariana and James.But as Asher had said last night, he really wasn't mad at me.As a matter of fact, he and Mariana had blamed it all on Sylvia. It was still embarrassing but I was happy I didn't get them to hate me.Mariana gave me million hugs before we left.I didn't even have an idea of where my dress was, so I returned home with Asher, in his sweatshirt and underpants.According to Mariana, Rita had left really early with Anna.I was hoping to see her before she left though.Mr Smith and Mrs Smith had gone to the company, to take care of the day's business so Asher could take care of me.I knew Mr Smith must have been the one to suggest that, and certainly not Mrs Smith.Ugh!I wish I could feed her a thousand bottles of win

OliviaI stole glances at Asher as he just kept driving.Where were we going?Eventually, he stopped the car. When I looked, he had stopped in a playground.What?!"What is this?' I asked him as he assisted me out of the car.Saying nothing, Asher only took my hand, leading me on into the playground.We hadn't walked a far distance when I sighted Sebastian's car."Seb is part of this too?" I muttered under my breath.I was beginning to get uncomfortable with this whole surprise Asher had planned out.I wanted to trust him based on the fact that he saved my life once but then, this was just all too suspicious."You can come now." Asher said to someone over the phone."What is going on Asher?" I asked him impatiently, yanking my hand away from his.He only looked at me with a smile and patted my head."Are you afraid?" He asked, sending chills down my spine."After you asked me that, yeah." I rolled my eyes and folded my hands under my chest.I saw Sebastian's hair from a distance, appr

AsherAfter my conversation with my grandmother, I couldn't help but think about Olivia.It really felt like I was forcing her to continue being my contracted girlfriend.I knew she wanted to stay, for the money so she could take care of her father but it just seemed like she wasn't truly happy here, with me.I wanted to be happy too, that's exactly why I had brought up the whole contract idea, so my mother wouldn't cage me like she did to Anna.I simply couldn't interfere with Olivia's happiness, just for my own happiness.I was still selfish enough to still want her around and she was equally ready to stay. The least I could do, was make sure she still saw her father.It was all Sebastian's idea actually but hell, I'm never revealing that to Olivia.I felt my heart flutter when she told me she was happy to see her father. Now, I felt more comfortable having her work for me."The lies you told though…." She raised her brows at me.I…was expecting this would happen."Well….I couldn't

OliviaI didn't feel so good about Asher's plan. It was a good one, but it was just too scary.All through the day, all I had on my mind was the formal party Smith's Jewelries was holding tonight.I wasn't nervous that I was going to meet a lot of rich people, I was nervous of the plan.While Asher would confront his father, I would stay skirt close to Anna. So far, she seemed like a really friendly person.And if my chances were good enough, I might get her pass card.A pass card was an electronic card used to access certain places in the company building, usually executive offices.Like that of Asher and his father alongside his mother.Asher hadn't wanted his mother snooping around his office so he used a pass code instead. I tried to focus on the positive side of the plan; we would free Mr Smith from whatever his wife was using against him.But on the other hand, I was still committing a crime.First, I would steal Anna's pass card, which made me feel like a total jerk.Also, I wo

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
