Livia's Point of View

Is that still the case? Am I lost in a fantastical universe that exists only in my head?

I could feel Gianna Steel's intense focus on me even though we were on opposite sides of the room. Gianna's physical appearance is strikingly distinct in comparison to Samantha's. Her aura is so powerful that it makes me tremble all the way down to my bones.

She abruptly walks toward me after stepping out of the elevator in a manner that suggests she has somewhere specific to go. The expression of excitement, happiness, and joy that could be seen on Miss Samantha's face lit up the entire room, and her smile was infectious. The expression on the other person's face, on the other hand, was stone cold and unyielding, without even a trace of feeling. The only time you could make out a semblance of an expression on their face was when their lips contorted into an unusual form, and it was not a happy one.

As Gianna turned her gaze in my direction, a sly grin quickly formed ac

    Livia's Point of ViewGianna's husband was Ajax. I can't process it in my mind, not even my system could accept it. The way Gianna gracefully comes inside made my stomach churn and hurt like a jealous and mad woman who can't do anything but to watch. No matter how much I don't want to complicate things out, I felt like it will soon happen knowing the circumstances are. It was hard for me to keep up my job knowing Gianna was inside Ajax's office. I did not go to the CEO's floor knowing I might come across Gianna when I found myself talking to Rue at the cafeteria. "Something's bothering you?" He muttered whilst eating. I took a deep breath before shaking my head. "Nothing…" "Really? You seemed pale and… annoyed? I really thought you're thinking something deep and I guess you wanted someone to share it with." There are times that I wanted to tell everyone about it, especially to my friends who I'm sure are going to listen. However, my doubts about this became bothersome. I don't th

    Livia’s Point of ViewThe glass fell off the ground and I panicked knowing the two will come out anytime from now. Seeing how Ajax came out and saw me made my heart pound. He stared at me worriedly, he was about to come near when Gianna came out. She then raised her eyebrows, probably thinking I was eavesdropping. "Are you alright?" He muttered using his worried voice, biting his lower lip whilst trying to reach for my elbows yet I took it away from him. I wiped the tears that fell off my eyes before smiling a little. "I'm s-sorry. I was about to give a file to you but it seems like you're busy talking to your wife, s-sir." I couldn't even say the word wife. Ajax clenched his jaw. I gave the assigned envelope I was holding and Ajax took it. He was about to speak when I cut him off. "D-Don't worry, I'll clean it. You should head back inside. It seems like you're really busy…" I meaningfully said. "Ain't no way you're going to clean that!" there was roughness in his voice. "I'll ca

    Livia’s Point of ViewUnfortunately, Ajax has to go home, leaving me alone on the street watching him leave. Seeing Ajax mere back shoving himself inside his car left me in tears. A small bitter smile crept my lips, I don’t think I could sleep tonight knowing the love of my life was with his wife… I had no idea what they were going to do, were they going to sleep with each other as Ajax and I did? I don’t know. I was left here… hurt. Apparently, Andre’s nanny called him. He should come home quickly as something happened in the penthouse. I could vividly hear his nanny speaking Gianna’s name and just by thinking she was hurt and Ajax ran through his car worriedly, a part of me doesn’t want to trust whatever he is going to say. However, I was able to cope up to what I was feeling the moment I took a quick shower. Although I forgot about Ajax for a moment, when my eyes drifted at the city lights outside made me longed for me. For the ninth time, I cried. I cried because I overthink a

    Ajax's Point of ViewLivia was very distant. She's not looking at me either giving me her damn attention each time I'm trying to have a conversation with her. I fucked up big time and I know it. However, the treatment she was giving me was beyond something I've done as if she was bothered by something else I can't distinguish. She couldn't look me in the eyes, and the only thing I could do right now was to back hug her due to the longing I felt. But for some reason, she jolted in shock and took off the hand I was using to hug her. "I know you're upset. I'm sorry…" I muttered solemnly, trying my best to make it up for her. She drifted her eyes from me. It was when she gulped and a faint smile crept on to her lips. "No worries. I understand. Just don't embrace me again, otherwise, your wife will see us." She asserted, emphasizing the word wife. "Livia…" I called her name longingly.I understand her. I fucking understand where is this upsetting bitterness is coming but it's nerve-wra

    Livia’s Point of View Unfortunately, no matter what Ajax does, Gianna doesn’t want to sign the annulment papers he has given to her. It has been a while since the last time and a lot of people knew about their marriage and seeing how Gianna began stalling at my boyfriend irks me. Well, nothing has been confirmed with regards to them tying a knot before though. I don’t know what’s going to happen but I trust Ajax. The current event thrown by the company was currently being rocked by many. To our surprise, Gianna made an appearance which shocked everyone. She was well-polished by her gold silk dress whilst holding Ajax’s hand the moment he saw her. Some employees are looking at me. Well, I know some of them are aware about our relationship and coming here was making my tummy churn in so much hate. Just by ogling at the two in front of me makes me want to pull her hair regardless of the deal we had back then. “Careful, you might kill her just by staring.” Rue appeared out of nowhere.

    Ajax’s Point of View In front of me was a woman I had never seen after that day. After I got my son Andre in that hospital, Gianna’s secretary never showed up to anyone. It was also the day she had gotten into a plane crash and since then, she never came back and was unknown for how many years. I yearned for the truth. No matter how much I hate the fact that they all lied and made me look stupid as fuck, I deserve to know the truth. “Yes, sir. What she said was right. Miss Gianna didn’t use her eggs but used the surrogate mom’s.” The woman stated. "Do you know who the surrogate mother was?" I inquired, agitating at her answer. "She was a married woman. According to her conversation with Miss Gianna, she was in a dire need of money to help her husband. Her name is… Livia Washington." Oh for God's sake, she's no longer a Washington! Beside me was my friend, Samuel; the lawyer and Caspian; the private investigator I was saying.Caspian and my eyes met, it was when the woman in fron

    Ajax's Point of ViewTrue to form, Gianna managed to give me yet another pounding headache. She bolted like a startled deer, her heart pounding in her chest, the weight of her decision heavy in her hand as she hastily scribbled her name on the annulment papers. It was a regular occurrence for her to engage in such behavior, but what truly leaves me reeling is the audacity with which she brazenly pilfered yet another billion, all in the name of liberating her beloved boyfriend. As I stood in my office, surrounded by my mother and two close friends, a surge of frustration coursed through me. It was a vivid reminder that the staggering billion she had stolen was the very sum I would now have to shoulder to save the foundation nestled within my company. As I reach into my pocket, I feel the weight of my wealth, a treasure trove of possibilities. Each bill and coin holds a purpose, a vibrant thread woven into the tapestry of my ambitions. This wealth is not a mere indulgence, but a fuel

    Livia’s Point of ViewI spent the entire day sulking in my bed, wrapped in a cocoon of melancholy. Ajax was avoiding my calls like a skilled magician dodging bullets. Those days stretched out like a taut wire, unyielding and unchanging, as I yearned for him with an ache that seemed to seep into my very bones. The last time I stepped foot into his company, a vivid scene unfolded before my eyes. There he was, striding confidently out of a high-stakes meeting, his presence commanding the attention of everyone in the room. And by his side, a vision of elegance and grace, was Rue, their eyes locked in an intense exchange. My heart sank as I gazed at the project before me, a labor of love that was meant to be my masterpiece. But to my dismay, it had been transformed, altered beyond recognition by the mischievous hands of my so-called friend. I don't harbor anger towards him for snatching it away, but I empathize with the reasons behind his actions. Ever since that incident, I made a firm d

    Third Person's Point of View"Are you seriously telling me that now, Ajax? When the event start any moment from now?!" I blurted out as he was behind Livia, caressing her small waist and lifting the dress she was wearing. "Just a quick fuck, please. Just a quick one." Ajax couldn't stop himself from claiming Livia again. Today, the christening of their baby will going to happen and anytime soon, the visitors will arrive one by one especially when everything was settled yet she was cornered inside their room and he was asking for a good fuck. In just a span of a few minutes, Livia already got wet. Her hands are on the table while in front of them is a mirror. Livia could see their reflection on it, especially Ajax's broad shoulders. He was staring at her straight in the eyes through their reflection, and each push and pull Ajax made Livia moan. "Careful, baby! My dress might get torn!" Livia asserted, trying to remove Ajax's hands on her chest. It was a limited edition dress from

    Livia’s Point of View ***MONTHS LATER***The whole baby section was filled with women finding better and cute clothes for their a month old baby and above. Anyhow, my eyes set on all the things that I bought at the shop where Steffany and I went to. Samantha and I already gave birth but she was busy with her child. I gave her an invitation to shop with me along with Janice but she couldn’t since her due date is near. It was when Steffany and I were the only ones who shopped whilst Ajax’s mom, Aunt Andrea, is the one who’s looking out to our kids. “That would be $2,789 in total, ma’am.” The cashier asserted. “Here.”“I received $3,000.”Paying everything using my own money was beyond my expectation. I used all of it to buy my children’s needs when Ajax was giving me a monthly budget but I didn’t spend most of it. Instead, I stock it for Andre’s studies as he will begin his grade school where Ajax graduated. Steffany and I have gotten close. Andre doesn’t even want to let her go but

    Livia’s Point of View “I can do it!” I asserted whilst taking the plate to the sink. Ajax groaned. It was when his eyes shut directly at the maids who were in the dining area. “What’s the purpose of having a lot of mates when I’m paying them well but you’re doing household chores? Damn it!” he exclaimed before combing his hair using his fingers. I rolled my eyes, didn’t let him do whatever he wanted but instead, I went overboard and then halted him. “Now you’re cursing at me, huh?”His expressions melted. It was when he tried to reach for my elbows but to my anger, I gave him the plate I was holding forcefully whilst our family were watching us together. I was mad at Ajax! “Fine, do it yourself then! Curse at me again and I’ll throw you out of this penthouse!” I irritatedly asserted. “That’s not what I meant! I’m not cursing at you!” My eyes widened hearing the tone of his voice. Now, I can’t imagine he’s shouting at me. My jaw dropped as a couple of silence surpassed us both wh

    Ajax’s Point of View “Where are they?” I consulted my friend, Caspian, who was in charge and had his men behind us. The warehouse was dark, but we could see some men around it and seeing that there was only a light on the second floor made me clench my jaw. Before we came here, we made sure that we had a plan beforehand. Otherwise, we’ll get screwed and I can’t risk Livia getting into trouble and severe conditions. “It seems like they are on that spot.” I heard one of them say, “Move quietly.” the leader of this operation stated. Our initial plan was to come inside but let a spy go first to see what’s the condition. Archer was also here, along with the man he brought that literally came from the army. I don’t even know why the fuck I approved of him meddling with this thing when I can handle it myself. However, I just let him be because I could sense his sincerity as long as he wouldn’t execute something that might irritate me. “Use this, Ajax.” Caspian said, giving me the bullet

    Archer’s Point of View My blood boils. I was raging in anger seeing the man across me was Archer. He has been on my sight for the past few weeks and frequently joins meetings where I was also there.The moment that the meeting ended, many people started to leave until it was only between Archer and I inside the conference room. I was about to leave when Rue hurriedly came inside the conference room. "Ready the car. We'll go somewhere else." I stated whilst looking coldly at him. "You can't leave, sir. We received very devastating news," he muttered with such worry in her eyes. "Livia disappeared. It was seen in the CCTV that she was kidnapped and the driver was their ally. It seems like Gianna was a spy and we didn't know she would attack us like this!" My jaw dropped. Everything about me crashed knowing Livia vanished. Archer and I couldn't believe that he wanted to conduct an investigation and told me to wait but I didn't wait so I opposed him. Livia is my woman. She's the love

    Livia’s Point of View My body was not in its best condition the moment I moved. I feel dizzy… my body was sore as I couldn’t move from where I was. Slowly opening my eyes was the horrific thing I did after the blur vision was set aside. Terrifying feelings crept within my body. Realizing I was inside a cell sent goosebumps seeing the location where I currently was being imprisoned is for those evil who deserve to be here. My feet and my hands were tied whilst the floor was creeping cold to touch my bareback. I took every chance I had to stand up, ogling at every corner I am with and finally seeing a shadow of a woman made me burst in anger. “Take her out.” Her cold gestures made each man from nowhere open the cell where I was. The smell of the place stinks as if I was in a warehouse that was full of dead rats. Gianna showed up in the dark, bearing heavy make up whilst polished well with her not so short elegant dress. Her hair was tied up, whilst she had dark eyeshadows on her e

    Livia’s Point of View Staying at home is the most boring thing I’ve ever done for weeks now but at least, it'll make us safe and sound after the countless death threats Gianna is giving me. We know it came from her. The death threats are horrifying especially when I'll just wake up one day to find that there was a box outside the penthouse with a dead rat on it. Horrifying, isn't it? Ajax and I became extra careful especially when it comes to our son, Andre. After Ajax and I fixed our family, he told me to move in completely with him. Andre was happy, he was also pressuring Ajax and me to give him another sibling which makes my cheeks burn each time he says that. Ajax told me everything I should know. He apologized to those days that he was absent whilst I cried myself to sleep thinking about us. I had no choice, I couldn’t get in touch with him and Ajax wouldn't answer his phone. I overthink a lot… but all of the pain I felt has been switched into something more beautiful. “Are

    Livia’s Point of ViewI was left dumbfounded whilst Ajax was in front of me. I tried my best to cast my emotions away but I couldn’t. I missed him… I longed for his touch and the kisses we shared together. Looking straight at his eyes makes everything deep inside me to throbb. How many days have we not seen each other? Five days? A week? Two? Damn. “I want to a-apologize first.” I muttered solemnly. “It's not my intention to keep everything to you. I was just waiting for the right time. But if you are really mad, I understand and I have no intention of complaining. Of course, you have the right to know everything. After all, I lied to you despite knowing the truth…" I muttered whilst playing with my fingers. God knows how nervous I am right now. This conversation seemed to be in demand, and both of us really need to talk about this otherwise, we'd lose everything that we both built. Ajax wasn't speaking. He was just letting me squeal my sentiments whilst we're inside our son's priva

    Livia’s Point of View I rushed to the hospital without even drinking, eating or even washing my face. I wanted to get angry knowing neither Gianna and Ajax were there for Andre and thinking that Ajax wasn’t there makes me pissed. Andre was rushed to the hospital but Ajax didn’t even go there for his child. His nanny, Steffany, told me that Ajax wasn't answering her call and didn’t even go home last night. “Really? What about Gianna? She's a very irresponsible mother! She should be with Andre 24/7 knowing she was his mother!” I said whilst my blood was boiling. Andre was sleeping in his bed when I came here. Steffany was worried about Andre. He was sick, he caught coughs and colds waiting for his father to come home but he ended up getting a fever. I was beyond pissed when I thought of Gianna who wasn't doing anything just to be here. It was when my hand drifted to his arms that has bruises on it. My jaw clenched seeing that part of his arms and foot were turning purple whilst som
