Asher

I stared at her, my hands clenched by my side as my breathing wavered.

I felt uneasy just staring at her.

"What are you doing here?" I asked her, seething.

"You never bothered to look for me Asher. Did I matter that little to you?" She asked, faking sadness.

"You don't matter……at all." I responded, holding Olivia behind me as I saw her gaze sweep across the room until it landed on her.

"What are you doing here?" I asked her again.

She strolled over to a table in room and sat. She said nothing but stare at Olivia and I.

I heard footsteps coming from the door. When I looked, I saw Sebastian and the rest of my family including Anna's husband.

They all froze on a spot when they saw my mother.

How did she even get to know I was going to be here in the first place?!

Somebody must have told her, there's no doubt about that.

"Oh…. everyone's here I guess. This is just perfect." She said, taking out a tiny object from her purse.

When I took a closer look, I saw that it was a

    AsherThe pictures of Olivia on the screen were wiped away and the screen became empty once again.Sebastian came back and joined us as we all got ready to see what was on the drive. The happy look on my mother's face was very disturbing but I tried my best to overlook it.Few seconds later, I started hearing strange sounds.I looked around and saw the expression on everyone's face which proved that I wasn't the only one hearing such sounds.When I listened carefully, I realize that they were actually moansWhat the hell?!My breath hitched in my throat when moans doubled. While one sounded feminine, the other, masculine.Okay, what is going on?Suddenly, a video popped up on the screen.It was a video of a man and a woman having sex and precisely, the woman was riding the man.There was a look of disgust on my face and I was just about to yell at my mother for wasting all our time like this, until the woman got off the man.I observed the faces of both the man and the woman and they

    Olivia"Asher come back!" I ran after him but he shut the door in my face.I cried helplessly, unable to look at anyone else's face out of embarrassment.Who was that lady in the video?I knew it wasn't me nor Joseph.Why then did those people have our faces?Thinking about everything made me suddenly angry.I matched toward Mrs Smith, "What the hell have you done?!" I yelled at her.She only smiled at me in satisfaction of the success of her plans.All this time, I thought she was gone for good.I knew that it wasn't that easy to get rid of her but I had hoped that she would never come back."I hope you can all see the truth now." She addressed everyone instead, leaving me."I told you, you were going to regret coming into our lives." She whispered to me, smirking.I noticed that the other members of the family were starting to leave."Wait!" I rushed to Marianna.She was the nicest to me after Sebastian, I knew she would hear me out."You believe me, right? You believe that I'm not

    Olivia"I'll take you home." Joseph offered but I rejected it immediately."No, you don't have to." I sniffed.Joseph taking me home would be the worst decision we would take as that would only make Asher's family believe that we truly had an affair."Olivia, I don't think you can drive yourself home. I get that you don't want us becoming even bigger suspects but right now, our safety matter's the most." He stated.He was right about our safety being the most important thing.But right now, I didn't care.I just wanted my Asher back."I know you're only after my safety and you're just trying to help but right now, I think the best way we can help each other is by…. staying away from each other." I said the last part slowly, hoping it didn't come out harshly.Joseph had been through so much in his life already to be dragged into such a mess.Slowly, he moved away from me, smiling painfully, "You're right, I understand.""Where are you gonna stay?" I asked him.I was sure Mrs Smith woul

    OliviaI felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen and jumped up quickly.It took a few seconds before the pain subsided and when it did, a strong wave of migraine hit me.It was so strong that I almost fell to the ground.I closed my eyes, anticipating my fall but instead of falling to the floor, I fell into a pair of arms.I could recognize those arms even in my sleep.The strong scent of Asher's cologne hit me as he caught me.For a few minutes, we just stared at each other but when he pushed me back up and moved away from me, I realized that everything that had happened last night was not a nightmare.I looked down at my feet and saw that I was still wearing the same pair of sneakers.I bit my lip to prevent myself from crying.So it was all real?Holding back my tears, I tried talking to Asher, "Asher…."As I moved closer to him, he only walked away.I followed him, trying to get his attention but he just kept ignoring me."Asher, you're not saying anything to me. Please, say somethi

    OliviaSeveral days had passed with me out of Asher's life. I have tried countlessly, trying to win him back but all to no avail.He didn't just fire me, he made sure I was never going to step foot in his company ever again.I've been in Rita's house ever since he threw me out and I couldn't even leave because my face was on every single magazine.I stared at my swollen eyes for a long time before putting on a concealer.Tonight, I was going to go to Asher's house again.I know he'll listen to me if I persist more.There's absolutely no way I'm going to let him go, especially with the thought that I had truly cheated on him.Rita was not back from work yet, she must have gone somewhere else after she closed from the office.Perfect.There's no way she'd let me leave the house if she were present.I flagged down a cab as fast as possible.All through the drive to his house, I couldn't stop thinking about the words I would say to him.I needed to tell him something that he would believe

    OliviaMy vision was blurry as I opened my eyes but with time, it became normal.I looked around, noticing that I was in the hospital."How did I get here?" I whispered to myself.Suddenly, the door went open and someone came in.Actually, two people came in."Oh….. she's awake." The first person spoke.It was the cab driver from last night.Wait…..last night!Images of everything that happened last night flooded my mind.How Asher had heartlessly ordered that I was thrown out of his house.Tears filled my eyes as I remembered everything but I struggled to hold it in."Do you feel better now Miss?" The cab driver asked and I simply nodded.I bit my lower lip and shut my eyes to prevent myself from crying."What happened?" I asked him when I felt like I could speak without breaking down in tears."Well, I didn't feel comfortable with leaving you after I noticed that you had cried. Your eyes were obviously swollen and I felt like you shouldn't be left alone so I followed you. Thankfully

    Olivia "I really can't believe you went back there Olivia!" Rita screamed at me, hitting her steering. I just stared out the window, tears rolling down my face. I kept thinking back to what the doctor had said. Was I really pregnant? Well, it could be possible, I have had sex with Asher severally so there was a possibility that I could be pregnant. But…..it was still really hard to believe. It was hard to believe that I had gotten pregnant at such a critical moment for the same man that left me out in the rain without caring if I could have died. "It's not as easy as you think it is Rita." I sniffed, wiping the years on my face. "I know…but…." Her voice was calm now. "..... but you can't keep hurting yourself for someone who doesn't care about you Olivia." "He cares!" I suddenly snapped at her. The expression on her face showed her surprise. "Asher does care, he's just angry. I'm sure he still cares about me. He wasn't going to propose to me if he didn't, would he?" My wor

    Olivia"You're okay?" Rita asked me, tucking me in to sleep."Yeah." I nodded."You know I'm always here for you, right?" I smiled as she said those words.Rita would always say that when she had something serious to say and obviously, anything she was about to say right now was definitely about Asher."What next do you plan to do?" She asked, stroking my hair."What do you mean? I plan on getting Asher back and I'm not going back on that plan." I furrowed my brows at her.Why was she trying to discourage me from going after Asher and winning him back?"Olivia, like I said earlier, I know it's really hard. But you have to face the reality of what is happening. It is next to impossible for you to win Asher. The only way for you to prove to him that his mother was only making things up was for you to prove the truth to him. We both know that's something neither you nor Joseph can do. Do you really want to keep hurting yourself like this, for someone who didn't care if you died on the ra

    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
