Olivia look through her clothes searching the wardrobe it was after looking deep that she found the bonnet pajama and when she brought it out a sigh escaped her lips."Oh, Alice"She remember the many times that her cousin came over and they spent all night together watching movies. Then telling scary stories and talking about boys she never really had a lot to say she was far too shy so talk to guysThat was not the case for her cousin who was always talking about guys that's were asking her out and she changed a new boyfriend everyday it was actually scary sometimes one time she came over.She was talking about about a guy that she was planning to hit on then she realised that she Olivia was looking down unlike like the person she was now she had quickly burnt down and asked what was wrong."It's nothing,"Olivia said hugging a teddy bear hard looking away but it was hard to hide things from someone who was so close to her." don't tell me that that long face it's how you look like
Alice could hear heavy breathing coming from the door and her eye shifted over there quite quickly and then it rested on her cousin, she was spying on them. "He-"She had initially thought if calling her out but instead but her lips, she wanted to sell off a little show."Oh, fine Babe...you know that I can't say no to you!"She hugged the redhead and thankfully the fact that she wanted to do this with him at the moment showed that Olivia was probably close by she felt him wrap his hands around her and pull her close.And just like that she could feel his warmth embracing her at that moment.For a moment it was actually comforting and she could feel the eyes getting heavy and ready to doze off."So I found your Pj's Alice!"That was when she took her eyes to Olivia and made her drama teacher proud with the way her eyebrows arched naturally with *surprise*"Oh, sorry we were talking about something,"Olivia looked between the two of them."Is that all?"She asked holding the pj as sge

Chapter " Alice if you're going to be serious about this then do try and hurry up because I don't know what you are thinking about right now," He paused for a moment she wish there was a way she could tell him all this without actually having to narrate it. Would she really have to live through this moment again?she closed her eyes and she heard the gunshots The screams, the yelling, the anger that was boiling in heated conversation.Then she opened it up and began to speak;" it was 3 years ago,"she began and then went down the road again." I fell in love with a boy called Marcus that my parents didn't approve of and they were quite upset about it and didn't bother to hide it," Her fingers tightened up and she seem to shift on the bed."But even so I really cared about him and I didn't want to break off my relationship with him no matter what they said and it cost a lot of disagreements with them because I wasn't ready to follow them and their wishes like their perfect little
Chapter twenty seven."You still aren't going to fall asleep yet?" Alice turned to cousin and shook her head."No i don't have any appetite right now, I'll probably throw up anything I eat right now,"Her fingers dancing on the kitchen island at that moment as Olivia put away the fried eggs to talk to Jaden who was standing next to the sink with an equally serious look on his face."Both lf you need to lighten up a bit, these kind of things happen all the time...it doesn't make a lot of sense bu-""You should have your breakfast Olivia, don't worry about either of us...I'll talk to her..."Olivia held the plate then picked out a fruit because it had a fruit salade on the side.Without thinking hw opened his mouth and ate the fruit without thinking about of it and her fingers brushed his plump lips.Both lf them froze up like status initially and then Alice had to cough in the background for both of them to finally go into motion again."So I'm going to talk with her now,"He said and
Chapter twenty eightAlicia embraced her daughter and Jaden got rid of the mess so that Olivia wouldn't get hurt by it.But he could feel the weight of Olivia's mother's eyes on his back and it getting heavier with each passing moment. Feeling suffocate enough he quickly disposed of the trash and then Alicia called him over."Jaden, that's your name correct right?"He nodded,"Yes it is ma,"Then she crossed an arm over her daughter."Do you know who this is?"The question made Jaden to turn his eyes to everyone in the room including Alice who returned a glare in response to it, he then came back to Alicia."She's my client, Olivia Raymond...""Mom, what's wrong?"Olivia asked her mother after recovering from the shock of that question after her Mom had dropped it out of the blue with ease."Olivia baby,I'm trying to point something out right now..."then her eyes came back to Jaden;"Yes your client and you...you are just a bodygua-"Not liking where this was going Alice brushed between
When Alice was heading to her apartment it started to rain again and then along the road and he stopped for her knocking the door open."Get in, Kid."Having no energy to fight anymore she just slipped into the car and folded her hand together as he drove on."Well?were you just stalking me me or you happened to be passing by chance..."He laughed out, it was dry and chocked up as he parked infront of a red light and then turned his scarred face to her."You look like crap Kid,"She let out another cracked laughter."Thanks for the motivational speeche Uncle Thomas, but I still wanna know is how no why you are following me?"He revved the engine back to life and the car started moving again into the road."You getting involved with thosr people and i want to help you and so I came along,"Her fingers tightened."So you are waiting to drag my corpse to my parents for a quick buck, right?"He coughed out."You really crack me up kid, but come on.."Alice held up her hand and shook it."I
"I would like to give a cheer,"Jaden looked at the people around him all the creme de la creme in the society coming to his party, he couldn't believe it.It has been over a year now since all that thing went down with Olivia, she was now in a mental hospital for treatment.She was still calling his name everyday that he should visit him, he did occasionally though to see if she had any regret about what she did but she always proud about it all.Alice father had to come alone with his brother Thomas to save his wife sister and her ex husband from the gang members, it had been a close battle that left him with a scar his forehead but it healed the wounds od his marriage.Alicia decides to keep her ex husband company and nursing him back to health consoling him over the state of their daughter and in that process they had become close friends.Was they more to it than that, Celine and Nick would often tease then but they always denied it even though a blind man couldn't miss the look
"Well obviously it's Alice, she's fed up of all od you and hates you for her boyfriends death" The brain was nine right through his teeth and all of them could see it but they all pretended to be oblivious to what was actually happening more concerned with how they were going to be able to get out of the situation he couldn't call the police because he had then searched for their phones and had it taken it away to the open reach out for any sort of help then at this time Olivia was still narrating on her plans for her cousin she watched her slowly with this kind of blissful look on her face as if she was somebody who are getting a new promotion at a job we come to "Jaden…Jaden Jaden Jaden…" She said she tapped the dashboard of the cars as if she was beating a drum voice was getting higher and more pitched. Her eyes began to dart everywhere and also no where at the same time Alice was just looking at her through half closed eyes as she asked herself how she had missed all thitrembl
Celine was on her couch watching a movie with her husband, well actually he was looking at hia phone while they sat far apart and she watched the TV. She wanted to bring up something to break the silence, last nights dinner had been a disaster and for the first time in years she saw her daughter weeping on her shoulder last night."If that isn't love then what can be Nick?"She recalled her voice as she flipped through the channels with little or no actual interest in them as she thought of his response."Celine shut up"In all of their marriage life he has never said those words to her and then out of the blue he had blurted them out and still hadn't truly apologized since then.At that moment her sister in law, Alicia walked in…or more of ran like she and escaped criminal with the police hot on her trail."What are you guys doing haven't you seen the news?""What ne-"As she was speaking Celine saw her daughter on the television screen holding the hand of a man that she cosaid only
"Your father!"Alice nearly jumped out her shoes when she said this turning to her cousin."If there is anyone who would have a clue about who his family is, it has to be him…he hired him after all…"Olivia brought out her phone and she was already whimpering tears streaking down her face as she spoke."I don't know…Dad never told me anything much…what if he doesn't know anything either…what…"Alice took the phone from her cousins trembling hands and dialed the younger female's father."Sir I and Olivia are in the hospital and Jaden just got shot and he needs a blood transplant asap and…and…""Sorry, but do you mind taking some breaths or something? My daughter.."She heard some shuffling sounds like he was moving around and then he said".. Should be in her…room…"She heard the creaking of a door and then he yelled."What?how did she get out?...Olivia!"Alice felt like slamming her head into a wall and immediately called her cousins father attention right back to her."Didn't you hear
"I'm guessing that you'll be wanting Lex back…" Janet's words came to Alice mind as she sped in the road like a mad woman, swerving like a pro as of her and the motor cycle were one, she kept up with this barely able to breath until she arrived back at the Cafe.It was just as she feared about fifteen feet away from her was Jaden.And his shirt was soaked with blood, she saw only that before she was able to see the paramedics that were pulling him away on a stretcher and the crowd that was being bullied away by the police that were talking to a whimpering Olivia.As smooth and powerful as a sudden breeze she swept past the crowd until she was next to him saying that she would ride with him all the way to the hospital, there was no time to argue and the paramedics could see that she wasn't going to budge and let her in.She reached for his hand, holding it tight as she felt her eyes burning like as if they were staring straight into a freshly lit flame."I wasn't on time again…I wasn
Alice settled down as she heard Drake stomping down the stairs but she knew that he would stay close enough to hear whatever they were saying at that moment."What was I saying ?"Janet placed a hand on her short hair stroking it soothingly before she suddenly became animated again."Right, my brother…I suppose I should tell you this so that you will understand truly why his death wasn't your fault…"She paused to look at Alice to makw sure that ahwee had her attention something that was needless to do because with the topic at hand two cars could collide into each other and explode and she wouldn't even be able to blink an eye."You see our parents were not around and as such, we had to make a lot of choices-many which I have chosen to stop regretting because it changes nothing- and Marcus even though I was much older than him was quite protective of me and our brother Drake…""We both worked hard to provide our basic necessities but it was never…ever enough…you see getting wanted to
As they had almost arrived at the cemetery the Taxi driver was still hoping that the girl didn't recognize hi-"Do you remember me?"She asked him before he could even cook up a good story to give her and she shook her head."Don't bother lying to me though I don't just forget faces easily at all so don't worry about that at all…"At this point she could see the visible dropping of sweat down his face and she actually felt a little bad for him at the moment."I'm not going to hurt you or anything I was even going to you know apologize,"" no madam you don't have to apologize for anything I was being inconsiderate that day I should have been more sensible,"" well I wouldn't really blame you all that I blame my reaction I should have been more sensible too there was no way you should have known that I was coming to a cemetery" "I can see this there's something different about you since then you've changed"" I guess I have" he was finally able to turn on the radio and then a song th
"So let me get this right from the start both of you were actually just having a fake relationship so that I would come to realise the feelings that I had with Jaden and didn't and finally have the courage to confess to him?" It was a hot afternoon that day and did Jaden and Alice had come over to meet Olivia at a cafe.Before they arrived Jaden showed her his mothers ring."You want to marry her?"He laughed."No, it's an emerald ring…she got it because it matched my fathers eyes ,"Then his cheeks got red,"..I mean not like I'm not serious..but marriage that's a big step," Olivia had arrived a little late but at least knew when she came because Jaden's eyes were lit up like a lamp in a dark room and she held her cup of coffee fiddling around with it and wondering why she ordered it instead of her usual chocolate it was just that Jaden had also offered to have black coffee and she felt like a kid offering to have chocolate so now she was looking at a cup of black coffee that she wou
Jaden waited for the longest time waiting for her to say the words that she actually approved of them but instead after a long wait she shook her head and his heart fell at the moment." I'm sorry I can't lie to you my family would never approve,"Then he lived closer so much so that he could feel his breath mixing up his house and then he noticed that she shifted back a little bit when this happened and hours away from his completely not even bothering to look at him and his expression at all or even knowing what he was going through that moment." I'm not asking about your family at least I'm asking about you because honestly the only person I'm close to is you at this point," he realised that he got her attention back when she looked at him me she asked even stabbing a finger to her chest like it was the most incredible thing ever for him to even be close to her and he nodded in agreement he had been with the Raymond for a while and even though he admired Olivia he had only ever
