Olivia I was going about in the kitchen preparing dinner. I shivered remembering how close I was to being caught in the afternoon by Mrs White who is back and has been parading the house for a while now putting up the new paintings she brought from her journey, at some point she called me to ask if I liked the large and extravagant painting she just installed in the dining. Even though I liked the old one better I told her it was very beautiful She asked me to prepare a marvelous dinner. I made pasta and spaghetti meatballs, roasted turkey, and Apple pie. I had specifically warned Claire to Stay inside the room quietly after bribing her with cookies, sweets, and my phone to play princess games, I bet she won't come out after all that. Sarah is gently humming beside me, She is helping me serve the dishes, I was so happy to see her after a long time, that I hugged her for 2 minutes. "This looks so yummy," she said looking at the apple pie. "I have more you can have so
Nathan I walked out of the dining room yesterday after what I said to Claudia and I don't regret a word. Yeah, I was harsh but Claudia deserved it, we haven't said anything to each other after that night two years ago when I caught her screwing her manager in my penthouse, She thought I was still on a business trip. I had simply walked away and she never followed up or apologize till recently when she started texting and calling. I had ignored her, I thought she got the message. I stayed with her even when she was lazy in bed but she had gotten her pleasure somewhere else, I had not dated anyone ever since. I pick one or two women in a club once in a while. Mum brought her here, She still wants me and Claudia to be together. All worked for good when she accepted Claire yesterday. I was already contemplating taking Olivia and Claire to my penthouse though I know that my mum and Leah won't be happy but now that everyone has accepted Claire, I don't
Olivia I can't believe I just ate seven cupcakes while I was so deep in thought. I felt so full, I have been speechless after Nathan left not waiting for my reply. He asked me out on a date! I remembered the day he asked us to hang out in high school and refused to show up, I can't just forget that day but it's all in the past now. As much as I would like to deny it, I can't help but notice that Nathan is changing and he has started calling me by my real name, He defended me in front of everyone and accepted Claire, what more could I ask for? I can't deny the fact that I was starting to like him and I was secretly happy to go on a date with him. I want to go see my mum today, Claire has been asking to see her. I picked Claire up and we went to my room. “We are going to see grandma today,” I said to Claire and she clapped her hands happily. “Yay! I will give her some of my candy She said showing me the candies she kept in the pi
Nathan I ran my hands through my hair sighing heavily, I have been going through a lot of paperwork, and I am starting to get frustrated. The day is moving slowly and I have been checking my wristwatch every minute. I have a date with Olivia, I just couldn't wait. I will finally be able to apologize to her and make things right, If I am lucky she would forgive me. I can see both of us on my yacht, with Olivia in a red bikini looking so sexy, Me holding her from the back kissing her neck, and whispering soft words to her... I snapped out of my daydream when my office door swung open and Claudia walks in, I sighed in annoyance. What the hell was she doing here? I thought I made it clear that I never want to see her again, After what I said to her I did not expect to see her in my office. she had interrupted my daydream, and I was honestly not in the mood for her shenanigans. I checked my time and it was already 5:41 oh shit! Already? I need to start going, I
Olivia I got back from the hospital and Leah was already impatiently waiting in my room. I had to beg her to let me prepare dinner so Claire could eat and go to bed since no one was at home, I guess they have all traveled again. I showered and Leah did my make-up and I was impressed, I felt beautiful. "Liv, put on the dress it's almost five," she said and I quickly put the dress and heels on. "Tada!" I said twirling and she laughed clapping her hands together. "You look beautiful Livvy," She said smiling brightly at me. "Thanks, Leah" I replied pulling her into a warm hug. "You are welcome, Nathan should be on his way by now," She said playing games on her phone. I checked my phone and it was already 6. I was getting restless, what if he stood me up again? "It's already 6, I wonder what's keeping him," she said worriedly looking up at me with furrowed brows. "Yeah" I replied faking a smile, I did not want her to see me restless. "I will go get some s
Leah I woke up to the feeling of something sliding across my nose. It was so itchy, I was about to open my eyes when it stopped only for the itching to continue after two seconds. I opened my eyes unable to endure it anymore only to see Claire looking at me holding back laughter. "Goodness gracious, Claire!” I shouted shooting out of bed as I see a tiny form sitting on my chest. "You know how to wake someone up, don't you?" I said as I sneezed rubbing at my nose and looking at her laughing as she held a pink pencil that had a feather-like decoration. I am guessing she slid across my nose causing mild irritation which woke me up alarmed. "I wanted to make sure you woke up with a smile, Aunt Leah! Did it work?" She said as I looked at her amused. She was already dressed in a purple jumpsuit with a white bow on her hair. "Oh, you succeeded, my little prankster. Now, can you go eat breakfast?." I replied ruffling her hair before kissing her on the forehead. "Okay,
Nathan What happened yesterday has left me feeling empty. The look I saw on her face and the way she rejected me left me frustrated. She was yelling angrily and all I could do was stare at her plush lips, I did not know what got into me but I had smashed my lips on hers and she had kissed me back with the same energy. I did not expect her to slap and push me away, that hurt more than anything. I sat on the balcony watching Olivia sitting in the garden. I had this urge to go to her and see if we could settle things but I stopped myself, It is not the right time she probably needed space. I poured myself more wine gulping furiously, I had finished drinking a bottle and I can't deny the fact that I had hardly slept yesterday, I looked and smelled like crap. I'm still in yesterday's clothes. I will have to shower, I need to go see Micheal today. Leah had walked in here angrily, She yelled at me and that surprised me. She had never spoken to me that way an
Olivia I watched Nathan walk away after paying the bills and I couldn't help but stare at him. Even though I did not tell him, I have forgiven him after that warm hug. I had to rest my head on his chest and wrapped my hands around him, I wanted to squeeze him tightly and never let go until Leah interrupted us. "Earth to Olivia!" Leah said snapping her fingers in my face, I glared at her in annoyance. "Were you thinking about my cousin?" She asked winking suggestively. "No," I said a little too fast, I cleared my throat adjusting in my seat. "Lies, I see lies everywhere" Leah replied waving her hands around, I scoffed she was just too dramatic. "I was thinking about Amanda," I replied lying through my teeth sipping my wine. "She was the one who called you at the hospital?" She asked more interested in the change of topic and I sighed in relief, I didn't want her asking about Nathan and me. "Yes, we could not talk for long though," I said smiling at her, I would have to call he
