Livia’s Point of View

I 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

    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

    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 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 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

    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

    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

    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

    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
