Olivia released a little yawn, her eyes still closed while she tried to wake up. She snapped her eyes open when she realized she was on the bed. How? She had slept off in the sitting room? Did she sleepwalk to the bedroom? She thought and ran a hand into her hair.Aiden walked in, and she swiftly raised her head to look in his direction. “Good morning,” she whispered in a low voice.He didn't say a word but walked towards her and sat on the bed. “Are you okay?” He asked, while touching her forehead, and she widened her eyes.Olivia let her mouth slightly open while her blue eyes searched his face. Was she daydreaming? She whispered to herself.“Yea…yes, I'm fine.” Olivia replied in a cracked voice, and he moved his hand to the duvet.“I'm going out, I will be back shortly. Don't go out!” He added the last part with a strict tone.Olivia arched her brows, her face held a puzzled look. “Did Aiden injured his brain or worse? He must be ill or running a temperature.” She thought and got o
Olivia realized she wasn't daydreaming when she woke up the next day. The strong arm she felt around her body made her blushed sheepishly. The heat last night didn't just end at the kiss.She slowly pulled away from Aiden and covered her naked body with his shirt, which was on the floor.Olivia felt her cheek turning red while she walked into the bathroom. She stared at the mirror and placed a hand over her mouth just to stop herself from screaming in happiness.Aiden had made love to her, unlike the first time they had sex. This was a lot different, she could still reminisce on his stares at her body and the desire in his eyes.Wherever he went yesterday, did a little good for him. Even after the sex last night, he didn't act like nothing happened. He had kissed her forehead before falling asleep.Olivia touched her forehead, a wide grin on her face. Suddenly, her mood began to change and her heart skipped.What if he suddenly goes cold when he wakes up? He was unpredictable with his
Rays of sunlight heavily permeated the window blind, casting a fiery glow that scorched Kayla’s skin where she was lazily spread out on the bed with her messy hair scattered all over the place. Groaning, she yanked the duvet off the bed and wrapped it around her head to deter the incandescent sun from blinding her eyes. The coziness of the room enveloped her, but after struggling for a while, she managed to open her eyes and very quickly, they darted around the room she had slept in. "Not again!” She groaned, she had a dream that Aiden had asked her to leave and had given her some money to take care of herself. But it was just a dream! She stood up from the bed and walked into the bathroom to wash her face. Then she took hold of her brush and applied the toothpaste on it. After some minutes, she walked out of the bathroom, but heard a knock on her door. She rushed to it and opened the door. Then, she met Max standing by the door with a straight face. “What is it?” She inquired
Aiden had put a call across Griffin last night, and he was supposed to be at his place that morning by 10am. Aiden stood in front of his mirror while admiring himself and staring keenly at his reflection. He heard a knock on his door and asked the person to come in. Max walked swiftly and dropped two of Aiden's lighter on the table, “Good morning, boss.” He whispered and crossed his hand behind his back. “I also have news of Ethan's arrival. He came back last night, and one of the men saw him at the Creek casino.” Max informed Aiden and he paused for a second. “Ethan?” He called and Max nodded. “Why is he back? I thought he traveled intending to not return ever again.” Aiden whispered, and his veins throbbed in his neck. Ethan was the son of his father's best friend. The same man his father had built the mafia family together with before he died, but right from the beginning, Ethan never liked the business line, and so he left the country. Why was he back, huh? Aiden brushed off
Griffin had spent the whole night turning and tossing on the bed. He couldn't wait for morning, so he could proceed with the plan. He stared into Jane's face as she slept peacefully and whispered, “I hope you forgive me, and I have to do this for all of us. I would rather not die.” He mumbled under his breath. It was almost dawn and his eyes were still open. He tried to think of how he could make Kayla's death sound real. What could make it look real, huh? He thought deeply and got out of bed while covering Jane's body with the duvet. He paced back and forth and an idea hit him. Griffin waited patiently for Jane to wake up while he stepped out of the house to take a walk. He could hear water gushing out from the kitchen, and he knew Jane was there. He puffed air through his mouth and walked towards the kitchen and stood by the door. Jane averted her eyes to him and smiled lightly. “You came back home late last night, sorry, I couldn't wait for you to hear how it went.” Jane whispe
The week went by as a blur and the supposed day of burial had arrived, the Griffins had actually waited for Olivia and since she was back, they were going to proceed with the plan.Jane had not been able to control her water tank, as she stood by the grave after the burial. Poor child! I failed to protect you. I'm sorry you have to die at a young age-she whispered bitterly.Olivia wrapped her hands around her mother and consoled her while she tried to fight back her tears.Olivia felt a twisted pain in her chest, but there was something that wasn't clear to her. Kayla was married and no one told her? How? When did the marriage happen, and why didn't anyone tell her?She wanted to make a fuss about it, but she would rather not disrespect Kayla. That wasn't the important thing at that moment.And with the way her mom was crying, she couldn't bring herself to ask her about Kayla's sudden and eerie marriage.Suddenly, she sighted a man stepping out from a Range Rover with another fleet of
Olivia had made her decision, she had agreed to marry Aiden, especially when she felt Griffin was obviously pleased about it. For a moment, she felt maybe her father was trying to grant Kayla's wish because she was always his favorite daughter and of course, Aiden was loaded.She had issues sleeping at night, while she tried to think of how her life would be after getting married.She also hopes to continue her work as a nurse in any of the hospitals nearby. Aiden was going to agree to that, right? She won't want to be categorized as a housewife that only feeds on her husband's money.The word “husband” felt strange to her, but she shrugged it off and sat upright on her bed while staring at the door like she was waiting for someone else to come in.Her hands placed on her lap while her long silken hair fell freely behind. She bit her bottom and just then, a knock was placed on the door.Averting her eyes to the door, she ushered the person in, and her mom walked in after peeping.The
The date has been fixed and Olivia couldn't get the marriage thought off her mind, no matter how hard her mother kept telling her all would be fine.The wedding would be next week, and she felt her heart racing. Oh heavens, she was definitely going to become someone's wife.How about her job? She didn't get to talk about that with Aiden. She ruffled her smooth black hair and laid straight on the bed with her back hitting the soft duvet.Olivia was lost in her thoughts and had no idea when she drifted to sleep. The next thing she heard was the knock on her door.A little groan escaped her lips as she stretched her hands and tried to wake up from her deep slumber. “A minute please.” She voiced out and got out of bed while dragging her legs to the door.She opened it and met her mom standing by the door with a tray in her hand. “Are you alright? Are you sick?” Jane inquired while scanning her from head to toe.“No. Why do you ask?” Olivia questioned with an arched brow.“Because you have

The Donald's had invited Aiden and Olivia for dinner. The two had left already and Olivia wanted to talk to him about his mother but decided to leave it when they were back home. They haven't talked much lately, he has been quite busy while dealing with mob business, so Max had said.Noah had followed them behind along with Max. Max rang the doorbell while Olivia waited patiently for the door to open.Daisy opened the door and Olivia didn't expect to see her, she thought it was a dinner between them, Mr. Donald and his wife. “Come in,” she spoke with a wide smile.Olivia released a little smile, and walked in. Aiden followed her behind, and they headed for the sitting room. Mr. Donald descended the stairs, grinning from ear to ear.“Welcome,” he whispered and moved closer to them. “How have you been?” Aiden questioned.“Good evening, sir.” Olivia whispered and bowed slightly at him.“Olivia,” he mumbled and kissed the back of her palm. “I have been fine, thank you. Shall we?” He utt
“Grab your purse and leave. You're so lucky we found nothing on you. You should better stay away from these kinds of men.” The police officer warned and passed Kayla's purse to her.Yes! It was Kayla…she had gotten herself into trouble with the police force in Malaysia. That was where she had traveled to, hoping she was going to start a new life there.Kayla had always been the opposite of Olivia, she was stubborn, careless, and nonchalant. Even in Malaysia, she only wanted to find a rich boyfriend without bothering about his source of money.The first month she had lived there wasn't as bad as she thought it would be. She made a couple of friends, a girl named Lora, who works at a club.Through Lora, Kayla met a rich guy who was a drug dealer, which she knew nothing about. He had actually spent enough money on her, and that alone made her his sex mate. Sex and money were the two things keeping them together.Last week, just around 2pm, Kayla heard a loud knock on her door. She though
The moment Max parked the car in the garage, he rushed to open the door for Aiden. Olivia stepped out afterward, she had a blank expression on her face while walking into the house.She didn't move straight to the bedroom but moved to the kitchen. Olivia dropped her purse on the counter, her pulse running faster than it should, and she sighed.She opened the fridge and brought out a bottle of water before pouring some into the glass cup, and she gulped down everything.“Little Moll?” Olivia repeated with a scoff. “How dare she?” She spoke again, her hand turning into a fist. Olivia wished she had hit that mouth of hers the moment she said those words.Olivia picked her purse from the counter and ascended the stairs. She stopped at the door, her hand on the handle while thinking twice.She turned the knob and walked in, Aiden had just stepped out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist. Olivia ignored him, she was mad at him for everything. Olivia tried to walk past him into the
Olivia held a sour expression, her lips pressed together in rage, while she kept her gaze on Carla who kept walking towards Aiden's direction. Olivia was just about to stand up when she noticed Audra moving towards Carla, and she relaxed back on the chair, her eyes sending glares towards Carla who had no idea Aiden's wife was there.She crossed arms and huffed in a muffled breath. She hoped Aiden had not invited Carla by himself. Why would he do that when he had her by his side, huh?Olivia has never felt jealous like she did at that moment. A sharp pain pierced through her, and she averted her eyes while roaming them around.Audra had gotten close to Carla, it was funny how the world is indeed a small place. Audra had known Carla for two years now, they met at the airport around December.They were two different people with different personalities, but Audra, being the nice person she is, got along with Carla, and they stayed in touch.Audra had invited Carla herself and had no idea
Olivia woke up the next morning and was totally surprised, Aiden was still sleeping. He must be so tired after his trip-she thought. She tried to move a few of his hair plastered on his face, but she resisted the urge to do that. Her eyes traveled down his toned skin and well-built body. Suddenly, Aiden turned on the bed, and she laid back quickly and snapped her eyes shut. He got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom. Olivia slowly opened her eyes and roamed them around. Aiden stepped out not long in his sweatpants and bare chest. “Good morning,” Olivia muttered, and he spared her a brief look. “We will be leaving soon for the engagement party. You should take your bath now,” he replied, and Olivia grabbed her phone from the drawer and checked the time. “9am?” She gasped. “What happened to waking up 7am to 8am, huh?” She mumbled and hopped out of bed. She peeled off her pajamas and suddenly Aiden walked in. He paused the moment he saw her in her undies, and Olivia could f
Olivia washed her face for the second time, then lifted her head and looked into the mirror in front of her. Her blue eyes stared at her face for a few seconds before traveling down to her body.She scoffed in a low voice and shook her head. She thought she was playing the game better, but it seemed like Aiden didn't care at all.For the past three days, she had slept in the same room with him, he had totally ignored her like a plague.Olivia puffed air through her mouth and groaned lightly before running her hand into her messy hair.She needed to visit the salon and since Aiden had traveled to Chicago yesterday, today was the perfect time for her to move freely without checking what time it was every hour. He didn't tell her when he was coming back, and she didn't care to ask.It was hard for her to play the cold treatment game because of how much she loved him, but she was willing to learn. Maybe if she could act the way he does, he may eventually discover what he has before it's t
Aiden had stepped out of the house later that day, Leah was around to make lunch, and she apologized for taking much time than she thought she would.Olivia took a short nap to calm her head. She had spent hours on the balcony while trying to figure things out until it seemed hopeless.She heard Leah's voice and stepped out of her room. “How was it?” Olivia asked and startled her.“Christ! I thought you were asleep.” Leah replied, with her left hand on her chest. “It went well, you look as if you had a good day, did something interesting happen in my absence?” Leah inquired and Olivia chuckled.“Nothing at all,” she whispered and moved to sit on a stool in the kitchen.Aiden, on the other hand, had left for a meeting, he wanted to address the outfit about Ethan and what they planned to do with him.It was a punishable offense for one to leave the outfit and come back any time. It was seen as betrayal that only deserved death as justice.Aiden won't hesitate to pull the trigger on Etha
