THE BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED GIRLFRIEND CHAPTER 49
AsherMy eyes scanned the hall, looking for my father. He calls for a gathering but decides to absent himself.How great!I had already concluded that he really wasn't present here when I heard his voice behind me."Asher." He always called my name before saying anything else.I turned around to see that we were wearing similar suits.I hated it, I hated wearing the same thing as anyone else."So you came?" I hinted enough sarcasm for him to know I wasn't happy with him.He arched his brow and was about to say something before my mother interrupted."Good evening son." She greeted nicely, her expensive perfumes almost choking me to death as she hugged me.She always went over the board with everything.She looked around, obviously searching for Olivia.Thankfully, she didn't say anything on that topic.Where was Olivia by the way?"Sylvia, oh my goodness! It's been ages." Her business friend walked toward us as she sighted my mother.The two exchanged kisses.And just like I expected

AsherPanick settled in my heart as I found Olivia's phone on the ground.This could only mean one thing. Someone had seen her here and caught her.But who?And why was her phone here?And a piece of her dress?I searched the entire office again, and even the toilets but she wasn't here.Where the hell could she be?I couldn't call her now,she wasn't with her phone.I went to the security section and dashed straight to the CCTV footage.I played it over and over but there was no sign of Olivia ever entering my mother's office.What the fuck?!Someone knew what we were up to and had rigged the plan.What the hell would I do now?The only thing playing was a footage of my dad and I going into my office.What the hell had happened?I dialed Sebastian's number immediately and thankfully, after a few rings, he picked up."Having fun?" He drawled sarcastically.It was evident in his voice that I had woken him from his sleep.I didn't care about that right now anyway."Seb, there's trouble."
THE BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED GIRLFRIEND CHAPTER 51
OliviaMy heart froze as my kidnapper yelled at Asher.What?!I had struggled to break free back at the office but he was stronger. I tried all I could to at least get free and get a glimpse of his face, hair or anything that could help me with his identity.But at the end, he knocked me out.The last thing I remember seeing was Asher's car in the parking lot.Someone slapped me hard across the face, forcing me back to consciousness. The only thing I saw was darkness, for a while.Suddenly, the lights came on.I tried to cover my eyes to protect them from the harsh brightness of the lights.I tried over and over to raise my hands to cover my eyes, I realized that I couldn't because I had been restrained.My hands and legs were tied to the chair I had been dumped in.I tried to scream but I had been gagged. As I struggled to move, the heavy chains cut my skin and the gag harshly pinched the sides of my mouth.My screams never left my throat.The masked kidnapper didn't speak a word to

OliviaFor a minute, time stopped, everything stopped. I wasn't breathing, just staring, waiting to see who had been shot. In my heart, I hoped that Asher had shot the kidnapper."Asher?" I called him when he didn't move.Both of them just stood, still pointing guns at each other."Asher?" Someone else called Asher from a far distance."Asher? Olivia?" When I listened closely, I realized it was Sebastian.Seb?How did he find us?"Sebastian?!" Asher called out, not taking his eyes off the kidnapper.Sebastian's figure walked into the light.Once he saw the situation that Asher and I were in, he stopped on his tracks, startled.Asher and the kidnapper kept their gaze on each other."Asher?" Sebastian called slowly." Get Olivia." Asher instructed Sebastian but the kidnapper stopped him even before he moved."Don't even think of it. I promise; your friend would be swimming in a pool of his own blood if you moved even an inch." The kidnapper said to Sebastian.He sounded dead serious a

Olivia"Are you okay?" Asher asked me, forcing me to open my eyes.We were on the first New York flight to Hawaii and of course, we were flying first class.I couldn't hide the fact that I was scared of heights anymore. The plane had taken off and the air hostess had reminded us to fasten our seatbelts. I had heard her but my body just didn't move as instructed."I'm fine." I nodded."Well, you should fasten your seatbelt. It's dangerous that you don't." His reminder helped my body move.Rigidly, my hands moved to the belt and having no idea of anything as regards a plane, I failed."Here, let me help you." He offered.I felt a tingling sensation as his hands brushed against mine.I saw the smile at the corner of his lips.So he felt it too?After my abduction,Asher made sure I never left the house.And even when he left for work, he made sure Gloria or Sebastian were at home with me.He never discussed anything his parents must have said about my absence and I didn't bothered him on
THE BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED GIRLFRIEND CHAPTER 54
AsherOlivia had done nothing but look around since we arrived.How had I not brought her to Hawaii a long time ago?Even if I was never going to say it, I was grateful to Sebastian for suggesting this.We arrived late but just in time for the Luau festival.While Olivia's travel documents were still being prepared, I looked through the activities taking place in Hawaii and thankfully the Luau festival was one of it.I had always wanted to attend the festival but my mother never gave her consent. I was twelve years old the last time she brought Anna and I to Hawaii. I had made up my mind today visit Hawaii when I was older but I had too many responsibilities to shoulder, alone.It was a new feeling, knowing that I was actualizing my dream, with Olivia. It was weird that I was happy to be with someone, even if it was only a contract and it was just temporary.But I loved it, and I was going to live in the moment.We were booked a room in no time. We took a little nap before preparing f
THE BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED GIRLFRIEND CHAPTER 55
AsherI didn't bat an eye all through the night. The thought of what my mother was hiding kept haunting me, keeping me awake.I watched as Olivia slept peacefully. I was happy she finally could. After her abduction, she rarely ever slept without waking up with a nightmare.Birth date?This only meant that document was a birth certificate. But why did it have the same date as my birth date, but a year older?Does whatever my mom is hiding have to do with my birth?Different thoughts filled my head.In the end, I had a terrible migraine and had to take my pills.With Olivia around, I've never had to use them. But with the sudden development of things, I needed them now, more than ever.I had planned a fun filled day for us but due to our discussion last night, none of us could enjoy it. Olivia admired everything she saw while I just watched her.She was the only thing that could stop me from thinking about my mother's conspiracy with my father."I'm sorry." She suddenly apologized as I

OliviaI was under intense pressure being watched by Asher.I damn well knew he was watching me but I didn't dare look up at him.I would only get lost, staring into his jade orbs.I had to bring up a discussion on Seb's job but it did nothing to help the situation.I was hoping that he would treat me indifferently.I needed him too.The fact that we've suddenly become close, in a weird but nice way was disturbing.I didn't even get nervous sharing a room with him. Instead, it felt as though it was perfectly normal.I wanted to stop thinking about this man but the more I tried, the harder it got.His jade orbs illuminated my world, showing up in my dreams without permission.I dreaded being close to him, my body was helpless when I was.Everything about him intrigued me.I longed to run my fingers through his blonde hair, I wanted to trail my fingers down his perfect abs.He was perfection and I desired a taste.I hated that I no longer regarded him as the man that had brought me out

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
