THE BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED GIRLFRIEND CHAPTER 56
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

OliviaLast night was the best night of my life.After I confessed my feelings to Asher, I felt so relieved.It was as though a burden had been lifted off my shoulders.I've never felt happier making any decision in my life, like I did last night.After the kiss, the party became even more fun.We participated in numerous games, played around on the beach and even had more native foods.But this time, we tried out other dishes other than Bali steak.We didn't return to our hotel until midnight.We were too tired to do anything else. Asher didn't even do any work on his iPad like he usually did before he slept.We forgot about everything else like it never mattered.With our bodies close to each other, we fell asleep, with happiness.When I woke up this morning, Asher wasn't next to me.I had thought I would find him at the end of the room, working or at the bathroom but he was in none of those places.I panicked immediately.Where could he possibly have gone to?I touched the other si

AsherAll through our drive back home, I felt really uncomfortable.Sebastian was a really jovial person and it was difficult for anything or anyone to change that.But the fact that his mood was this way, then whatever had happened must have been really serious.I kept thinking, hard. I tried to see if I could get a good guess about whatever Sebastian had found out and how it was related to the date Olivia had found on that document.Did Sebastian find out it was a birth certificate?I thought so hard, my migraine returned but this time, in the worst way possible."Argh!" I groaned, holding my head in pain as a big wave of migraine hit me hard.The last time I felt such intense migraine was when my mother had threatened to take down my businesses if I dared to not become CEO of the family company."Hey, are you okay?" Olivia shifted closer to me, rubbing my back as she touched my head."Anything going on back there?" I heard Sebastian's voice from the front.For some reason, it sound

Olivia"What?""You're not the first child of your father Asher…." Sebastian stated clearly."... Which means you're not the next Smith heir." It was obvious he was trying to be careful with his words.Even I felt shocked to hear what Sebastian had said.Asher Smith wasn't the first Smith of this generation?Who would have thought?I looked at Asher to see how he was faring. His face was blank and pale. He just stared into thin air, saying nothing.I wanted him to say something, I wanted to know how he felt.Of course he wasn't going to be excited or happy but I wanted to know just how he felt."Wow." He said in barely a whisper."Asher, you have to…." Sebastian was about to say something to him when he interrupted him."Wow." He said again but this time, laughing sarcastically as tears rolled down his face."Asher?" I squeezed his hand, trying to bringing him back.It never worked as that distant look never left his face."So this was it? This was what they've been hiding, hunh?" He

AsherI felt something warm and wet on my forehead.It was soothing but I took it off.The moment I did, I felt a loud bang in my head~my migraine.I opened my eyes slowly, careful enough not to worsen it.Once my eyes were completely open, I took notice of my environment."What?" I muttered to myself, realizing that I was in the guest room where Sebastian occupied.Doing my best to ignore the throbbing pain in my head, I sat up.I looked to my right and noticed Olivia was by my side.From the looks of it, she looked like she had been by my side for a long time.How long though?I reached out to touch her. As my hand graced hers, I felt something wet and sticky.When I checked, it was blood.What?!What happened to her?As I stared at the crimson liquid on her hand, memories surfaced.Memories of everything that happened after we got back from Hawaii.As those memories came back, tears burned my eyes but I was determined not to cry.I wasn't going to cry because of them.If I cried li

Olivia"What?" My eyes widened in shock as I stared at Asher.Was he in his right senses?!How could he decide to face his parents at such a time?"Asher, I don't think this is the best time for you to do so." I had to convince him to stop or he was going to hurt himself."It is!" He argued, adamant.Clearly he was blinded by rage and I needed to stop him before his anger pushed him to hurt."You just found out everything that had happened. Don't you think it's best that you recover for a while. You're still pretty mad at them." I rubbed his arm but unfortunately, that did absolutely nothing to soothe him."I can't keep being like this Olivia. I want to hear it from them, hear the truth that I wasn't the rightful heir to everything that I've suffered for since I was thirteen." He turned to me with tears in his eyes.He wasn't just angry, he was hurt.I can't even imagine what it felt like for him getting to know that his mother had made him suffer so much to build a company that wasn'

AsherOlivia had been doing a really good job filling-in for me.She had been working with my secretary for the last three days and like she assured me, she had stayed away from my mother's troubles.I knew she was going to attack her and try to do something that would make me go over to the company but Olivia had taken care of everything.It felt weird now to still call my parents, my parents.While my mother had been a manipulator, making sure to seize our freedoms and control our lives, my father had been dishonest, hiding secrets that ruined all of our lives.Olivia and Sebastian had been right about me not being in the right state to discuss with my parents.I had no idea how much I would have hurt myself, having them confirm the truth of their sins.Being away from the company for the past three days had helped my health.My migraines only came when I thought of the problem at hand and even when it did, it was very mild."Are you sure about this?" Olivia asked, placing her hands

Asher"Now, you don't have to bother denying the truth or acting like I'm some lunatic talking nonsense. I've known about what you've both been hiding so it's useless to try to play dumb."I really was too fragile right now to let them try to talk me over to believing that I was the heir to Smith's jewelries and the other properties in our family's name."Asher! What has come over you?! Where did you get such information from?" My grandmother yelled at me.She rarely ever yelled.She never yelled at me so she must be really vexed by what I had said.Well, she would be way past pissed by the time my parents agreed to the truth."Grandmother, like I had said, we have been kept in the dark by these people." I darted my eyes to my parents."Asher…." My grandfather walked toward me with the intent of saying something when my mother interrupted him."And what if he did?" Her fearful expression had changed to an arrogant one."What?!" She wasn't even the least remorseful!Of course I wasn't

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
