“Thank you so much for having me for dinner, Li- Olivia.”

I stared at the bouquet of yellow roses that Jackson Reign held outstretched in his hand.

“Yellow roses mean eternal love.”

That’s what he used to say before one fine day, he revealed that there was no love at all and everything lived and cherished had been nothing but lies and betrayal.

“I developed an allergy to roses after my pregnancy.” I gave him a saccharine smile and waved the flowers away.

Jackson raised a brow, an amused smirk forming on his stupidly handsome face. “Is that so? Because I could swear that I saw a vase of roses on the dining table yesterday.”

Oh well, it was worth a try.

“Hyper-realistic faux flowers.” I shrugged.

“Right.” He was not buying it for a second but I would be damned if I let him have it. “I am sure one or two of them were wilting.”

“As I said, hyper-realistic.” I stared him down.

He stared right back for a good minute before letting out a

    _______________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~."You have turned into a monster, Olivia." Jackson dared to look like he was the one who was being wronged here. "I know what I did. And how wrong it was. But my mother-""Your mother is none of my fucking concern," I cut him off, my voice icy cold. "She knew everything and did nothing. Just like she did nothing while you were busy playing house with Elena. Just like she did nothing when she found out you had a child with me. She is just as much to blame as you are."Jackson's eyes narrowed and for a moment I thought he would argue. But then he took a deep breath and nodded. "Okay. I understand your anger. But I need to do this for my peace. For the peace of her soul."I let out a wry chuckle."It's always, always about what you want, isn't it Jackson?" I asked.He let out an exasperated sigh as if I was being unreasonable."Why are you twisting everything I say, Olivia?" He rubbed his temple. "Why can't you take what I say at face value f

It was like she was immune to my apologies and pleas. How could she be so cold, so unforgiving after all this time? "You owe me a thousand bucks." My eye twitched as I heard my best friend and legal advisor, William's smug voice. I turned on my heels and glared at the asshole leaning against the doorframe of his room. "Shut up, Harvey" I snarled. "What?" He shrugged as he stepped into the hall. "A bet's a bet. Someone was pretty confident that he would have his ex-wife on her knees the moment he appeared in front of her. Two days later, all he has is a healing almost-broken nose." I glared at him. "I don't want her swooning over me or submitting to me. That is not what I want from her, Harvey. You know that." "I know exactly what you want from her, Reign." William chuckled as he walked over to the corner bar and picked

    ___________________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~.The next morning, I woke up to a complete ruckus in the kitchen.Kelsey's laughter filled the room and the smell of burnt toast filled my nostrils."Mommy, look!" She was standing on a kitchen stool, her small hands holding up a piece of toast that was black on one side. "I made this toast! For the first time ever, I made breakfast!""Meant to poison sewer rats, I suppose?" I muttered to myself, the face of a sewer rat in need of immediate extermination coming to my mind as I grinned at my daughter, my eye twitching as I strained to keep the grimace away. "Well done, monkey! I am so so very proud of you, darling!" "Maybe you should feed the first breakfast you ever made to your Mommy, Kelse," Sarah smirked as she encouraged my daughter to poison me instead of the piece of shit that I had in mind. I glared at my best friend when Kelsey nodded with all the joy in the world. "Yes, yes! Mommy, you get to eat the food I made! Let me pret

He had his ever-present pleasing smile on his dumb ugly - okay, maybe not so ugly - face as he settled the giant toy on top of her purple fluffy pillows and straightened up, scanning the toy treasure cove that my daughter's bedroom was.His eyes took in the many drawings that my monkey had made and then his eyes lingered on one of the drawings in particular.It was her representation of me as a superwoman with hEro written on the top in her clumsy scrawl.Jackson's eyes softened as he took in the sight. "She is quite the artist, isn't she?"It took me a moment to snap out of my dreadful train of thought and actually realize that he was talking to me. I was in a daze as I nodded. "Yeah... She is really good. At everything she does." "Gets it from her mother, I guess." He replied without missing a beat. I almost s

Shouldn't he have thrown this vehicle out just like he had thrown me out of his life?And he already had a child seat installed. Was he actually expecting to take Kelsey out today or did he have a child? I did not have the courage to ask. Kelsey was busy yapping with Sarah. They were always doing that. Sarah's childish side came out whenever her Kelse was around.Jackson seemed to be uncomfortable. He kept on squirming in his s

He jumped back, clutching his chest when he took the turn and found me leaning against the wall."I am not a ghost, Mr. Reign." I rolled my eyes as I pushed myself off the wall and turned back to where the ice cream shop was. "Just the ghost of your past." Why the hell do I have to say things like that?Jackson followed me with a sigh. "Olivia, you know that's not true."I stopped in my tracks and turned to face him, crossing my arms across my chest, not missing the way his eyes immediately went down to my breasts the moment I did that. "What is not true, Jackson? Also, my eyes are up here." I pointed at them. Jackson looked away for a moment but he had less embarrassment at being caught sta

It very well could have been just that but all of a sudden dread filled the pit of my stomach.Jackson looked at the phone in his hand, his eyes widening as he seemed to realize something. "Or she didn't want to be found." He said, his voice low.I smacked him on his arm. "Shut up and stop spewing shit about my best friend."He looked at me with those puppy eyes that I used to melt in. "Olivia, I'm just saying-""There is more chance of them getting kidnapped than my best friend taking off intentionally with my daughter," I told him, my words faltering at the end of the sentence when I understood the fear in the pit of my stomach - were they kidnapped?"Who would kidnap them?" Jackson asked. "It's not like anyone knows that Kelsey is my daughter." I wanted to smack him again but had to rein in my temper. "One, she is not your daughter. And two, the colossal ego on you! She is Daniel Smith's only granddaughter. And

"How could you?" I whispered."I wanted to tell you," he began, but I didn't let him finish."You had five years, Jackson!" I yelled, my voice causing a few of the mall-goers to turn their attention to us, but I did not care. I couldn't care less about their reaction when I had been hit with two of the biggest horrors of my life at once. "Five years to tell me that we were never really divorced!"Jackson looked at me with pleading eyes, but I was not in the mood to hear his bullshit. "You knew!" I accused him. "You knew and you did not say anything!""Liv-""Don't you dare!" I cut him off, my voice echoing through the mall. "You don't get to call me that. Not after what you've done. And

Sarah was on her feet.It was no surprise that she could not believe what had happened that day."Jackson gave me Lilith Corp.," I repeated for the third time, my voice devoid of any emotion. "And I told him no."Sarah sat back down, her eyes wide. "Why, Liv? That's a huge deal. That company is worth millions! Billions!"I shrugged, trying to ignore the heaviness in my heart. "It's too much. It's not just a company, it's his mother's legacy.""So?" Sarah flipped her hair. "He doesn't deserve it. He proved he is more of his father's son than his mother's.""It's not about what he deserves," I said, feeling the weight of my decision. "It's about what's right."Sarah's eyes searched mine, "I am still against it. But whatever you feel right, I will support. I hope it's not because you still have feelings for him?"I shook my head, "No, it's not that. I just can't take something that means so much to him, especially not wh

"What are you talking about?"Jackson looked at me with a serious expression. "I'm giving you Lilith Corp. It's the least I can do after everything.""You can't just give me your company," I said, my voice shaking with disbelief. "It's your mother's legacy."Jackson took a deep breath. "I know, but she's gone now, and I can't bear to keep it. Not when it's the root of so much pain between us. Take it, Olivia. Use it to build a future for Monkey, without me if that's what you want."I stared at him in shock. "Why?"Jackson reached for my hand, but I pulled it away. "Because I love you," he said simply. "And I know you love our monkey more than anything. This way, she'll have a future that's secure, no matter what happens between us."The room started to spin as his words sunk in.Lilith Corp was a multi-billion dollar company, and he was handing it over like it

Kelsey's voice was filled with excitement as she looked up at me from the couch in Sarah's living room.Sarah was still at work, and she didn't know what was going on yet. I just told her I needed space and was going to the apartment.The full story was something that I needed to tell Sarah in person.So, I picked Kelsey up from kindergarten and drove straight to her apartment.Kelsey was confused about why we were going to Sarah's out of nowhere, why all our bags were packed, and why Pickles was in the car with me. She had so many questions, but all she knew was that she was getting to see Auntie Sarah."Daddy might be busy, monkey." I lied. "Let's not disturb him at work, okay?"Kelsey pouted. "But Daddy told me I can call him anytime I want.""I know, sweetie, but he's probably busy with important work stuff," I said, trying to keep my voice steady."But he said-""I know what he said," I interrupted her,

William grabbed my shoulder and forced me to face him. "You told her everything?"The whiskey burned my throat but it was the only thing keeping me sane at that moment. I nodded. "Yeah."William's eyes widened even further. I didn't even think that was possible. "You know what this means, right? She's going to leave you. And take Kelsey with her."I took another sip of my whiskey. "No, she is not."William looked at me like I had just told him I was going to walk on water. "What makes you so sure?"I smirked. "Olivia Smith is wired to be a doormat to the person she loves the most. And right now, she loves Kelsey the most. And Kelsey? She just adores her new-found Daddy."William paused for a moment. "You really going to use Kelse like that?"I sighed. William had been spending too much time with Monkey apparently. The man never really

"Your Dad left you and Lily because of my Mom."Jackson nodded, his expression tight. "Yes.""But what did my Mom even do?" I asked, feeling the tears stream down my face. I wanted to get off the chair, I wanted to yell at him. But I did not have the energy for either. It was like I was paralyzed.Jackson took a moment before speaking, his voice filled with pain. "Nothing. She did nothing wrong.""But you punished me for it," I whispered, feeling the anger swell up inside me. "You hurt me, Kelsey... all because of a spiteful revenge against my mother, who has to be the least affected by any of this."Jackson's face fell. "I know. And I regret it every day. I was blinded by rage and bitterness. I wanted to show her the kind of pain she caused us, but I ended up causing you more than I ever intended."I stared at him in disbelief. "How coul

Not that easily.Jackson looked away from me. "I... I don't remember saying that."I tilted my head to the side. There was no way I heard wrong. I was not delusional."You are hiding something from me." I told him. "I just know it."Was he? Was he hiding something from me? Or was he pretending to not remember trying to manipulate? I did not trust him. But I also had no choice but to ask him itself for the truth."Jackson," I said, my voice firm. "Look at me."He slowly met my gaze, his eyes filled with a mix of exhaustion and apprehension."You need to tell me what's going on," I insisted. "If we're going to do

He sounded like a zombie trying to be cheerful as he got into the car."Long day?" I asked, reaching over to give his shoulder a comforting squeeze.Jackson nodded, his eyes closing briefly as he leaned into the touch. "Long week.""Maybe we should schedule this session for some other day? You need to get some rest." I suggested, looking at the dark circles under his eyes.Jackson shook his head. "No, we need to do this." He leaned back in the seat and took a deep breath. "I need to do this."I sighed. "This is not some race, Jackson. We don't have a deadline. We can take our time. Now, we need to prioritize your health."He looked over at me, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "You sound just like Mom."That made m

It's just that-" I burst out laughing. "I know," I said. "What?" She looked away. "The idea of working with William Harvey for one wedding was bad enough, right?" I asked Sarah let out a heavy sigh and she slumped in her chair. "That man micromanages EVERYTHING." I let out a laugh. "Oh come on, darling. It's not like you are any better." She narrowed her eyes at me. "Are you taking his side?" "I am not," I replied, taking another sip of my delicious coffee. "I am just stating a fact." Sarah rolled her eyes at me.

I said."We are not going to spend too much time in the cold." He assured me and held his hand out.I stared at his hand for a moment, wondering if I really trusted him before I decided that I did not have to be hesitant for something so trivial and took it, his warmth seeping into my skin.Jackson led me outside and his car was outside in the cold, and not in the garage.I raised a questioning brow at him."I saw the reminder on the calendar." He confessed sheepishly. "I knew Casey was going to take monkey out and even I had a less hectic day at work so I thought I might as well steal you away."My mouth formed an O."Where are we going?"
