Chapter 45Olivia looked at him as if he was a stranger who wanted to harm her. His words hung in the air between them like a dark cloud, and the tension was palpable. She didn’t know what to say—what could she say? It looked like she had fallen for the wrong person.Christian took a cautious step toward her, his face unreadable, though Olivia could see a flicker of regret in his eyes. “Olivia,” he began, his voice softer than before. “I didn’t want you to find out like this. I was going to tell you, I swear.”She turned away from him, her hands clenched tightly at her sides. “You were going to tell me?” she repeated, her voice colder than she intended. “When? After you dug through everything? After you confirmed whatever it is you’re looking for?”Christian exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair in frustration. “I’m not trying to hurt you, Olivia. I’m trying to protect Eunice, to protect all of us. Oh God! How do I explain this?”Olivia let out a bitter laugh, shaking her h

Chapter 46Olivia’s fingers tightened around the edge of the counter as Christian lingered in the doorway, keeping her back to him trying to feign focus on the dishes in front of her but her mind raced, trying to brace for whatever was coming next. She had no desire to talk to him, not after what transpired the night before. The hurt of his distrust still hung heavy between them, and Olivia wasn’t ready to face it—at least not now, not when Eunice was so blissfully unaware of the tension in the room.“Morning, Uncle Christian!” Eunice’s cheerful voice cut through the icy silence, her face lighting up as she waved her fork in his direction.Christian walked over to Eunice, ruffling her hair. “How’s my little princess this morning?”“Good! Olivia made some chicken risotto," she replied happily.“Lucky you,” Christian said with a strained smile. His eyes flickered toward Olivia again, but she continued to avoid him.“You want some?" Eunice asked again, pushing her plate towards Christia

Chapter 47Olivia froze at Christian’s words. She couldn’t breathe properly. Christian saw that she was likely having the reaction she had the last time, so he held her hand. “Breathe! Olivia, breathe!" he said in a panicked tone.“Look. I have put some detectives together—“, Christian continued before he was interrupted by Josh from the living room.“Why are the hosts standing by the door? Aren’t you supposed to treat your guests?" Josh said in a teasing tone from the living room.“Let’s go”, Christian said as he pulled Olivia’s hand. “Look, let's keep this to ourselves. We will inform Josh and Ruth when we have found a solution to this”, he whispered before dragging her to the living room.As Christian and Olivia entered the living room area, Josh’s sharp eyes went straight to their hands which were still holding each other. “I think we just disturbed their quality couple time together”, he teased with a grin.Josh’s teasing remark caught them off guard. Olivia quickly pulled her ha

Chapter 48Can you not give me that ass reason?" Josh interrupted Christian, slamming his hand on the table. “Is there anything wrong?" Ruth’s agitated voice echoed from the living room.“There’s nothing for you to worry about, baby. We’re just doing some manly garlic crushing here”, Josh quickly lied to prevent her from coming into the kitchen.“If you say so," she replied.“As I was saying, don't give me that silly excuse. Eunice clearly loves Olivia, and, moreover, didn’t you remember how delighted she was at your wedding?" Josh continued, reducing his voice a bit.Christian narrowed his eyes at Josh, frustration bubbling beneath the surface. “You don’t understand, Josh. It’s not just about Eunice. There’s more at stake here, and I can’t just ignore it. It’s about Olivia, too. She’s dealing with a lot right now.”Josh raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “What do you mean? Is it about her feelings for you? Because from what I can see, there’s something deeper going on between you two.”Ch

Chapter 49Christian’s eyes immediately turned to Olivia’s before he excused himself to listen properly. On the other end of the phone, his secretary was reporting everything they had found out since Christian gave his order.“While the team was snooping around, we found out that Mrs. Mason’s employee records were either deleted or archived as some classified case”, Mr. Pitcher reported, sounding absolutely distressed on the phone.“We also found out that they are creating a new one all over again, in order to use her marriage to you as a trump card to flaunt their company's growth”, he continued.“Are you sure?" Christian asked in complete disbelief.“According to our informant, that is exactly what is happening. And we were able to get a copy of her previous employee record as a copy from an anonymous person, so I'll send the previous one and the newly created one, so you can do as you see fit”, Mr. Pitcher reported quietly."Send it to my email. You and the team of detectives shoul

Chapter 50All the adults froze at Eunice’s innocent question, and exchanged glances with each other and burst into laughter.“Eunice darling, Uncle Christian and Olivia are not steaming anything, okay? Ruth was just joking with them”, Josh said as he lifted her into his arms.“Oh! I thought they were going to make something again”, Eunice said in a downcast voice. Everyone sat at the dining table and they had a hearty meal together, chatting through out. Josh and Ruth did most of the talking, while Christian responded in agreement, while Eunice threw in some funny remarks occasionally.While all this was going on, Olivia couldn’t stop her mind from trailing back to Christian’s words from before. ‘Taking their relationship to the next step’, what could that mean? And he’d asked her to come meet him in his room at night. Were they going to do what she thinks they would?“Earth to Olivia!” Ruth shouted at her. “What were you thinking about so much that you forgot you had guests at your

Chapter 51Olivia wanted to believe him, wanted to trust that he could protect her from the storm that was looming over her, but doubts crept into her mind. Could she really depend on him? Would he turn around and blame her again if things went south?Her silence stretched on as the weight of everything settled around them. She glanced at the laptop screen again, the damning reports staring back at her like ghosts from a past she couldn’t escape.Christian sat down beside her, his presence warm and steady. “I’ll start working on clearing your name tomorrow. We’ll get in touch with the right people to make sure the truth comes out. The detectives think they wanted to use you as leverage to get to work with me. So let me deal with them."“Why?” she repeated, almost to herself. “Why are you going this far for me?”Christian exhaled, his jaw clenching momentarily. “Because I can’t just sit back and watch them destroy you, Olivia. You’ve been through enough already, and I don’t want you to

Chapter 52About an hour later, Olivia could hear Christian and Eunice’s uniform breathing, indicating that they were already deeply asleep. She on the other hand, was unable to sleep, turning and tossing around on the bed, clearly remembering his last words to her before he fell asleep.Until recently, she’d been so determined to guard her heart, especially after Christian had rejected her, but now, he was confusing her.As she lay there, Olivia’s mind spun in endless circles, tangled in a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions she hadn’t anticipated. His rejection had hurt deeply, and she’d convinced herself that keeping her heart guarded was the safest option. Yet tonight, he’d shown a vulnerability she hadn’t seen before—a warmth that made her question everything she thought she knew about him.She turned over, watching the faint outline of Christian beside her in the dim light. A part of her wanted to reach out, to feel the steady comfort of his presence and assure herself that this

Chapter 97Christian stood outside the holding cell, the fluorescent lights above casting harsh shadows on the stark walls. Detective Fisher’s voice echoed in his mind, reminding him to tread carefully. But Christian had no intention of being careful.Inside the cell, Mrs. Patricia Oxnard sat stiffly on the metal bench, her hands folded in her lap. Despite her disheveled appearance, she carried herself with a dignity that belied her situation. When she noticed Christian, her face flickered with hope, though her eyes remained wary.“Christian,” she began, standing slowly. “Thank God you’re here. I knew you’d realise this was all a mistake.”Christian forced a small, tight smile, stepping closer to the bars. “Mrs. Oxnard, I want to believe it’s a mistake,” he said, his tone measured, almost warm. “You’ve been a trusted figure in my life for so long. I couldn’t just stand by while you were dragged into this mess.”Her eyes softened, and for a moment, she looked like the woman who had onc

Chapter 96The night air was heavy with a suffocating stillness as Christian sat in his dimly lit office, phone in hand. The room, usually an emblem of power and control, now felt more like a prison. Every shadow seemed to mock his inability to act fast enough. His mind churned with the latest revelation: Mr. Petty, a man he had trusted implicitly through Margaret, was at the centre of a storm he could barely piece together.But there was no time for hesitation. Christian pressed a number on his phone, his resolve hardening.“Detective Fisher,” came the gruff voice on the other end, tinged with surprise.“It’s Christian Mason,” he began without preamble. “I need your help. My niece, Eunice, has been abducted.”The line was silent for a beat before Fisher responded, his tone shifting to one of professionalism. “When did this happen?”“Five days ago,” Christian admitted, his voice strained. “The trail’s gone cold, and I need someone I can trust to take over the investigation.

Chapter 95The city buzzed outside Christian’s office as he paced back and forth, his frustration mounting with every passing moment. The images of the child’s shoe and the signs of activity at the warehouse lingered in his mind, but the security team had turned up nothing more. It was a dead end—a cruel tease that brought them no closer to finding Eunice.He stopped by the window, staring out at the skyline, his reflection staring back at him. His face was worn, lines of exhaustion etched deeply around his eyes. But there was no room for rest. He had promised Olivia he would bring Eunice home, and failure wasn’t an option.The sharp ring of his phone broke his thoughts. He snatched it off the desk. “Josh?”“No updates yet,” Josh said, his voice cautious. “We’ve combed through the warehouse and surrounding areas. Whoever was there cleared out fast.”Christian’s grip on the phone tightened. “And the security footage?”“Nothing useful,” Josh admitted. “They avoided cameras, and any reco

Chapter 94The late morning sun cast long shadows over Ruth’s apartment as Christian approached the door. His steps were heavy, the weight of recent events bearing down on him. The tension from his last argument with Olivia loomed large, and he braced himself for an icy reception.Ruth answered the door with a sharp glance, her eyebrow arching as if to say, "What do you want?" She leaned against the doorframe, her arms crossed.“Christian,” she said, her tone clipped. “Didn’t expect to see you here. Thought you’d be too busy playing lone wolf to come and actually talk to your wife.”Christian inhaled deeply, already regretting his decision to come in person. “I’m here to see Olivia,” he said evenly.“She’s in the living room,” Ruth replied, stepping aside but not before adding, “Try not to ruin her day any further.”Christian clenched his jaw but said nothing, stepping into the cozy apartment. Olivia was seated on the couch, her back straight, hands clasped in her lap. The moment she

Chapter 93The air in Christian’s study was stifling, the faint smell of leather and old wood doing little to calm his frayed nerves. He paced the room, the phone pressed to his ear.“I can guess you heard about Eunice from your mother, but who told you about Olivia?” Christian demanded, his tone not so cool.“That’s the thing. Why do I know so much about your life?” the caller questioned bitterly. “Don’t play games with me,” Christian retorted.The caller sighed. “I think my mom is involved in the kidnapping of Eunice. I can’t say for sure, but she’s someone who will go miles to get what she wants.”Christian could not believe his ears. He blinked, looking at his screen. “I’m not going to listen to you say rubbish.”“I know,” the caller continued. “I know it’s difficult to believe my mother is capable of something like that, but she is. Haven’t you seen the signs? She always tried to pit you and me together for some sort of marriage alliance, but thankfully your mom never agreed to i

Chapter 92The morning sun struggled to penetrate the heavy fog that hung over the mansion, inside and out. Christian’s world remained shrouded in uncertainty. His usually clean and sharp demeanour was nowhere to be found. His beard had grown, forming a stubble around his jaw. He stood in the operations room, his jaw set as he scanned the large map pinned to the wall. Pushpins marked locations of interest, each representing a lead that had fizzled into nothing.Josh entered, carrying a stack of papers and his laptop. His face was grim, but his eyes held a spark of determination. “The lead we traced last night,” he began, setting the laptop down. “It’s thin, but it’s something.”Christian crossed his arms, leaning against the desk. “What have you got?”Josh tapped at the keyboard, pulling up an email. “We found another account connected to Elise’s network. It’s tied to a property on the outskirts of the city—an old storage facility. I’ve sent a team to check it out, but—”“Don’t say it

Chapter 91The house had never felt this still. It wasn’t just quiet—it was suffocating. Christian sat in his study, his hands gripping the edge of his desk as the faint glow of his laptop illuminated the room. It was past midnight, but sleep had become a stranger to him. Each time he closed his eyes, the image of Eunice’s frightened face haunted him.And then there was Olivia.He had replayed their argument in his mind a hundred times, each iteration leaving a bitter taste in his mouth. The anger that had fuelled his words now seemed hollow, replaced by a gnawing ache he couldn’t ignore. He had hurt her—pushed her away when he needed her most.The phone on his desk buzzed, breaking his thoughts. It was a message from Josh: “Team just sent me something. Check your email.”Christian opened the file Josh had forwarded. It was footage from a security camera near the warehouse. A black van had been spotted leaving the area shortly before their team arrived. The license plate was barely vi
The Billionaire & His Maid New year
Chapter 90The mansion felt emptier than ever, even with everyone inside. Olivia sat in the dimly lit living room, staring at the untouched cup of tea Ruth had placed before her hours ago. Christian hadn’t spoken to her since they returned from the failed rescue attempt at the warehouse. Not a single word, not even a glance in her direction. His silence was louder than any accusation could have been.From across the room, Ruth watched Olivia carefully. Her brows knit with concern. Josh entered, his laptop tucked under his arm. “Any updates?” Ruth asked softly.Josh shook his head, his expression grim. “No leads." The trail went cold after the warehouse. "I've got a few people digging into Elise’s connections, but...” He hesitated, glancing toward Christian, who stood by the window, his back to everyone.Olivia couldn’t take it anymore. She pushed herself up from the couch and crossed the room to meet him. “Christian,” she began, her voice small but steady. “We need to talk.”He didn’t

Chapter 89Olivia and Ruth were pacing around in the in the stifling atmosphere. Olivia sat on the edge of the couch, her hands twisting the scarf that had now become a cruel reminder of Eunice’s abduction. Ruth hovered nearby, her calming presence a balm Olivia desperately clung to. Meanwhile, Christian and Josh were locked in a flurry of activity, coordinating with law enforcement and private investigators. Every phone call, every lead, seemed to come up short.Olivia’s chest felt like it was being crushed under the weight of helplessness. Eunice is out there somewhere. Alone. Frightened. The thought nearly undid her. She forced herself to focus on Christian’s promise. He would move mountains to bring Eunice home. He had to.“We’ve got a lead,” Josh announced, though his tone lacked the confidence she had hoped for. “The car was spotted in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. A team is already on the way.”Olivia bolted to her feet. “I’m coming with you.”Christian’s
