"Then why did you say in your sleep that you never cheated on me?"

Jackson's eyes widened in surprise. He took a deep breath, trying to compose himself. "I... I don't know what I said in my sleep, Liv."

"Well, I assume it should be the truth because people do not get to lie in their sleep." I replied. I was not going to let this go. 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

    ____________ ...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~."Because I wanted that woman's daughter to go through the same my Mom did."I froze."My Mom?" I asked. "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

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

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,

"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

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 whe

Maybe he was with him."Hello?" It took several rings for him to pick up. "Olivia?""Where are you?" I asked hurriedly. "Are you with Jackson?" I asked him."No," William replied, he sounded exhausted. "What's going on?"I told him about the phone call and my fears."I think he is at the beach house," I informed him."Alone?" William's voice was alert now."And possibly drunk.""I'll go check on him right now," he said. "You stay put.""I am leaving as well. I will meet you there." I told him as I put on my coat and picked up my car key."What? No, Olivia, stay here. It's late and you don't need to-" William tried to protest but I was already out the door. "What about Kelse?"

"I have drunk, Harvey. That does not mean that I am drunk. If I were, I would have probably messed up our plan."He shook his head, turning to give me a glare before turning back to the road. "Don't call it 'our' plan, Reign. This was solely your idea.""But you played along with me, didn't you?" I smirked.William didn't say anything for a moment. "You're playing with fire, Jackson. You keep complicating things. Now that you have come clean about most of the things, then why don't you come clean to her about this also. She might do as she is told if you are just honest with her.

"I would ask Sarah but she is being more than generous with me and I do not want to burden her with anything more.""Liv-""Please, Jackson." I sighed, getting up from the couch. "I need a clean break."Jackson sighed, looking down. When he looked up, he had a small sad smile on his face. "I fucked up beyond repair, didn't I? Just tell me something, anything, that I can do to make your pain a little less."I stared at him, feeling that treacherous prickle at the corner of my eyes.I didn't want to cry.But it was getting harder to keep it all inside by the day.It was so difficult.Every day, my heart broke for the little girl who waited for her Daddy."Can you..."

    _______...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~.I stepped out of my room in a white and green floral dress with a denim jacket thrown over it. I had my white sneakers on. "Daddy, it's coming apart!" I walked to the living room to find Jackson working on Kelsey's pigtails. "Do you plan to stay up all night, Monkey? Why are you dressing up?" I asked. Both of them looked over at me. Kelsey grinned at me while Jackson had that look of awe that used to make me melt on the spot. Used to. Not anymore. Because I knew it was a farce. "Mommy, you look so pretty!" Kelsey clapped her hands and turned to Jackson. "Right, Daddy? Mommy looks like a Barbie doll, right?" I rolled my eyes as he nodded in agreement before looking back at me. "Even better." "Alright, let's go, shall we?" I asked, holding my hand out for my daughter to take. She held my hand and then turned around to hold her father's hand as well. "Let's go! I miss Pickles!" "Don't tell Grandma that you are going there to meet Pickles.

    _______...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~ . I could feel him stewing all day long.Jackson did not like the counsellor. That was for sure. Which was fine. Because what he wanted did not matter anymore. He was going to get played so hard that he would not know what had hit him. I would make sure of that. I was going to play his own game against him. The game of manipulation. And this time, I was fully prepared. I had my claws sharpened and ready. "Mommy, is Daddy okay?" Kelsey climbed onto my lap in the living room couch and looked over at her father, who was staring out at the night with a glass of whiskey in his hand. My eyes subconsciously moved to the huge bar that he had built into the apartment after I had moved out. So far it was the only change I could note in the place. "There's just a lot going through his mind right now, Monkey." I told her, ruffling her hair. Okay, call me a bad mother. Or call me an overthinker. I didn't care which but the fact was that I did not fee

Jackson asked as he pulled up to the counsellor's office building."They don't have any open dates for the next three months and it's not like we can wait that long." I said as I stepped out, taking up the cozy minimalistic design. It looked more like a cozy cabin than a counsellor's office. There was a transparent name plate with the name 'Dr. Oliver Warren'. "Olivia. Oliver. Sounds nice, right?" I asked as Jackson walked over to my side. "Does it matter?" He asked. "It's not like we are going to have any personal relationship with him." I nodded, suppressing the twitching of my lips. "Let's go in." I murmured and stepped forward, opening the door and walking into the reception with him on tow. The nice lady behind the desk immediately ushered us into the counsellor's room. The place was empty. "Please take a seat." She said, pointing at the couch opposit

I flinched away from the phone and looked around as if someone would be eavesdropping on me in my own office. "Yeah, but-" "I literally left you after giving a talk on how not to let him manipulate you and you went and got yourself manipulated?" She continued to screech. I knew that she had her own office, but at the decibel level of her screaming, I was pretty sure that a person in the other building would also be able to hear her. "Listen to me, woman!" I raised my voice. "Listen? Woman, I want to kick you at this point! Why the hell would you move there? You could have come to my apartment. You could have gone to a hotel. Why go there? Why let him take you there?" I closed my eyes and listened to her yell some more. She did not seem like she planned to stop any time soon. But I could not interrupt her because that would aggravate her some mo

"I am going to get her the best present in the world." I replied, with a crooked smile on my face as I watched my baby play in the booster seat. "What's that?" "Well," I bit my lips to control my smile but I couldn't. "Your Mommy has given me every happiness in the world. So it's time I gave it back to her." William had informed me that Sarah had called to discuss the divorce proceedings. No, not to discuss. She was leaving the entire procedure in his care, thereby eliminating any trouble for us to cover up this mess in front of them. So now, we could just pretend to get divorced. And then every single lie except the one about the will will be over. And then when she signs over the company back to me then, phew, I will have everything I could ever have. "Will she be happy, Daddy?

I coughed as I fanned my face as I walked over to the kitchen, which looked like it had been hit by a hurricane. I watched the scene unfold as Jackson picked up a smoking pan to the sink and turned on the sink. "It's nothing. We were just-" The smoke set off the fire alarm system and the water sprayed all over us. Kelsey's eyes were as big as saucers as she started jumping up and down with her arms in the air."It's raining inside!" She squealed with pure blissful joy. I watched my little one dance around, the smoke subsiding on the pan in the fridge and the man who was looking around like he had fucked it all up. "Where is the control valve?" I asked him with as much calm as I could muster. "I don't know." He slumped. "Does it turn off on its own? Is it automatic?" I asked. "I don't know." He looked... defeated. "What's wrong?" I ask

"It means he has a sharp memory. Not that he cares about me." I grunted. "Besides, he always played the gentleman when he wanted to. You do remember that he almost convinced you that all men were not the same five years ago, don't you?" Sarah groaned. "You got your Mom flowers?" She asked. I nodded, taking a sip of my coffee. "Where are my flowers?" She asked. I looked up at her and raised a brow, "You are allergic to pollen." She rolled her eyes. "Then you could have gotten me those fake ones." "Faux." "Yeah yeah, whatever they are called. You could have gotten me some of those!" She waved her hand dismissively. "Fine, I will have them delivered." I took another sip. "Hey!" She snapped her fingers in my face. "That's not the attitude I am looking for!" I gave her a look. "W

    _________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~ .The dude did not even let me see what he got for Kelsey.He went straight to the parking without any shopping bags. I wonder if he got her some jewelry that fit in his pocket or something. That would be stupid. She was four. She was not interested in jewelry. But he was stupid, wasn't he? And it was not like he was going to put in any real effort because... why would he? He wanted to pretend to be the good father so he was going to get something to make her happy, without putting any thought into whether she liked it or not. I rolled my eyes as I put the bouquet and the shopping bags in the backseat of my car after making sure that the idiot was nowhere in sight. I sighed. Should I get her something else? I knew she would love the toys. And she had been asking for more toys for Pickles. But still... What if she felt disappointed by what her Daddy got her? I slumped my head against the roof of my car. Well, I guess she would just

He said he had some work to finish and that Kelse was missing Pickles." I sighed. I was missing Pickles too. "Maybe I will also come over, spend some time with Pickles." "What's left of the renovation anyway?" My Mom asked. "I thought most of it was already done before you three moved in." "We are pet-proofing the place and getting in a high fence. I don't want Pickles or Monkey to wander into the water unsupervised." I explained to her. "Well, you should have thought it all through before getting a beach house for your permanent residence!" She exclaimed. I rolled my eyes. "I remember you telling Jackson what a wonderful idea it was." "I wasn't thinking about the practical implications then. What do I know? I am a airhead socialite. How can you expect me to figure out what you corporate moguls haven't figured out?"
