CHAPTER 92Olivia's povI gazed at Lance's retreating figure as he was scared for his life. " Olivia..." I heard James turn and shifted my attention to him. His gaze bored into mine, filled with worry and concern and for the first time ever; I realized just how beautiful his baby blue eyes were."Olivia..." he called again shaking me slightly as though to make me snap out of my reverie. "Ah.... Yes... wh-". "Are you okay?" He was quick to cut me off and ask, he looked so worried and I found his expression quite cute. The lines formed in his head were a bit too much but I needed to bore this look of his into my memory. "Y- yes I'm... I'm okay." Just then, Lance finally got out of his state of shock and gazed at James with a killing intent. That look in his eyes, that look. I remembered it, it was the exact same look he had in his eyes three years ago. When he pulled out his gun from the drawer in the room while I kneald begging and screaming in hopes of
CHAPTER 93Olivia's POVBlood, that was all I could see, James looked at me with shock in his eyes as he fell down slowly. I looked at his bleeding arm and rushed to hold him.I knew lance was out of control but I didn't expect him to go as far as shooting James out here in the public, is he crazy?. I tried talking to james when Alexander suddenly came out of the pub, he looked shocked to find James on the ground with a bleeding arm. I was just about to explain to him who Lance was so he wouldn't go acting like a hero and get shot when I heard him say his next lines that shocked me to my foundation "Lance, you need to go". He said so casually, he was sending lance away from the scene so he doesn't get into trouble with the authorities. Why? Why was he trying to help lance when he has no idea what type of a monster he is."Control your sister" lance said as he turned and left in a flurry. I looked at Alexander with questions in my head, how'd they get to
CHAPTER 94Olivia's POV"Alright then" he said as he took my hand and kissed the back of my palms. He's such a gentleman."Mr. James will need to rest now miss". A nurse said. I wondered how long she had been standing there and if she saw us kiss. "No problem, I'll go have my bathe, change and get you some food" I said to James.I gave him a peck on his lips before bolting out of the door. I could feel his smirk after I left. I saw a doctor outside the corridor so I decided to ask him about James."Hey doctor, I'm the one who brought in the gun shot man, how long does he have to stay here before he gets discharged?" I asked the doctor as he fiddled with a notebook."And who are you to the young man?" He asked. "Well... I'm his... girlfriend. So when will he be discharged?" I asked. "Not long miss, at most just tonight and he'll be free tomorrow morning". He said as he adjusted his glasses. I sighed in relief as I heard him say that. " But um... ma'a
CHAPTER 95Olivia's POVArriving at the hospital and parking my car, I ran in to see a lady demanding to meet James. I walked up to her and asked who she was to him only for her to tell me that she was his girlfriend. Girlfriend? James had a girlfriend and her he kept coming unto me? The doctor gave me a strange look and I looked away from him.Why did I always get the useless men? I stood there dazed before someone held me from behind. I turned to see it was Alexander and I fell in his embrace. "Don't worry Liv, we'll find him" he said comfortingly. "Why not go home and rest while I deal with this?" He said convincingly. Normally I wouldn't agree but the thought of James having a girlfriend while simultaneously trying to make me one made me annoyed so I decided not to care.I drove home, tired and exhausted and met Emma on the couch. She gave me a worried look and beckoned for me to come sit with her. "Olivia, what's going on? Maria told me you arri
CHAPTER 96Olivia's POVI took a deep breathe and began the first step to my doom or salvation whichever comes first. I climbed up the creepy staircase and into the hallway. Once I got to the room I was directed, I saw James tied up and on the floor bleeding. He was beaten badly and the bandage on his arm was ripped off.I ran to him crying and scared for his life. I gave him a hug and I lay my head on his chest to listen for his heart beat just as Lance and some men walked in."Well well, what a sorry sight we have here. So after you got out of the coma, you decided to roam around with this dog? I should've killed you when I had the chance!. You've soiled my name and reputation, what do you think will happen when the media finds you fuckin around with this thing, and now I'm going to make sure I clear that stain out with his blood and your pain". He said as he inched closer to me with a gun in hand.I held James closer to me. I could make out his fain
CHAPTER 973rd person POVAlexander parked his car outside a dark grand mansion on the dark and stormy night. Rain poured down in torrents, adding to the ominous atmosphere. It was already past midnight and He took a moment to look up at the foreboding structure before stepping out of the car. The wind howled, whipping his coat around him as he made his way towards the mansion's entrance.As he entered the dimly lit room, his gaze fell upon Lance, who sat on a chair with a sinister grin. A group of Lance's men stood nearby, their faces shrouded in shadows. Lance's voice echoed through the room, filled with dark amusement as he called out to Alexander."Ah, Alexander, so nice of you to finally grace us with your presence," Lance said, his voice dripping with evil. "I must commend you now, you've executed your plan flawlessly."Alexander's expression remained stern as he approached Lance. He had meticulously orchestrated everything that happened to man
Chapter 983rd person POVThe living room was bathed in a warm, comforting glow as Emma sat on the couch, her head had been throbbing with a persistent ache since she had gotten home. Maria, entered the room with a tray in her hands. On it sat a steaming cup of herbal tea, carefully brewed to for Emma's headache."Emma, I made you some herbal tea," Maria said softly, her voice filled with genuine concern. "It's a blend of chamomile, lavender, and peppermint. It should help soothe your headache, especially given your condition."Emma looked up, grateful for Maria's thoughtfulness. She smiled and extended her hand to accept the cup."Thank you, Maria. You always know how to take care of me," Emma said, her voice filled with gratitude.Maria returned the smile and nodded. "It's my pleasure, Emma. Take your time and drink it slowly. It's still pretty hot."As Maria left the room, Emma brought the cup to her lips, taking a small sip. The fragrant aroma e
CHAPTER 99Alexander's POVAfter a while, Maria sat on the couch next to me and Olivia on the other side. We were all lost in thoughts thinking about Alexander. My hands were trembling slightly in my lap. As I had to hold myself back from the hurt I felt for Olivia. How could Alexander do this to her? It felt like a betrayal of the deepest kind, and it left me feeling confused and wounded.Alexander had always been a kind and caring man, especially toward Olivia. He loved her with all his heart, and they shared a beautiful siblings bond that I thought to be unbreakable. But now, Olivia cursed his name, feeling betrayed by her own brother. I couldn't fathom why he would put her through this pain. There had to be something more to the story, something hidden beneath the surface that I was yet to uncover. And a part of me knew it had something to do with the documents I had found in his table and the secret room too.Just then, as if on cue, our phones chim
