When Oliver left Claire at her apartment, he called Jake and Liam and asked them to meet him at the shooting range. He spent hours at the range, pretending the target was the younger version of him as he shot at it over and over again. Several thoughts reeled in his mind. If only things had happened differently six years ago, he wouldn't have been forced to let go of Claire and they wouldn't be in this position where she acted like he was her enemy. 'It's my fault! I hurt her and now, she won't even look at me,' he thought in his mind, pain eating at his heart like a festering wound. Oliver went at it aggressively, he didn't even notice the pain in his arms from shooting for too long. His friends found him about to finish the bullets as he repeatedly shot at his target. "Whoa, someone's in a bad mood," Liam Kent remarked as they approached their friend. "I guess he didn't get lucky last night," Jake Norton added and they both laughed. Oliver threw them a cold glare as he

"I only need you," Oliver declared, his face serious as he glanced into Claire's hazel-green eyes. Claire's breath caught in her throat. For a moment, she felt like there was a deeper meaning to those words. It was the way Oliver said them with so much emotion in his eyes that she felt like he wasn't talking about the crisis. "It's confidential so it's just me and you," Oliver added in his deep velvety voice. "One of our employees seems to be involved in a case of corruption. I want you to go through those transactions and contracts on the table and see if you can find any discrepancies." Claire snapped back to her senses when she heard Oliver's voice. She nodded and went around to sit at her desk. However, Oliver stayed put on the chair opposite her and she was very aware of his heated gaze on her, making goosebumps rise on her skin. She glanced up at him and arched an eyebrow, asking, "Are you just going to sit there and watch me all day?" "I love watching you," Oliver rem

"Let's go shopping!" Roxanne Smith-Ford exclaimed the moment she opened the door to Claire's office. Claire's eyes widened at the unexpected visitor. She got to her feet and smiled, saying, "Aunt Roxanne, good morning." "Good morning, Honey," Roxanne replied and approached Claire before pulling her in for a hug. "I came to ask you to accompany me to go shopping. I want to get a few things from the mall." "Um..." Claire didn't know what to say. "Come on, who do you want me to go with? Henry and Oliver are not patient enough. They can't even help me with what nice things to get. It's so boring to go with them," Roxanne complained and Claire chuckled. "What about the twins or Evelyn?" Claire asked, referring to her daughters and Roxanne dramatically rolled her eyes. "Don't even get me started on those. They think I'm too old to hang out with them. Can you imagine, they think it's not cool to go shopping with their old mother. Now I'm left alone with no one to go shopping with,

Jessica Hart received a call from her spy that Roxanne had gone to the company and left with Claire. She then asked the spy to follow them to see where they were going. To her horror, she received pictures of Roxanne and Claire happily shopping together. Jessica's heart twisted with jealousy. She had tried so hard to make Roxanne like her. However, the latter didn't even spare her a glance. At some point, Jessica accepted that Roxanne wasn't a social person. The pictures she saw said otherwise, though. Roxanne smiled gently at Claire. There was a doting look in her eyes as though she took Claire like one of her daughters. Afraid that Claire would steal her position, Jessica went to the shopping mall and asked to join them. She glanced at Roxanne and proposed, "Aunt Roxanne, I have a very expensive taste and a keen eye for fashion, unlike some people. I'll help you choose the best brands." Jessica inwardly sneered, throwing Claire a secret mocking look. Claire was in plain gr

[These are better.] A small smile curled on Claire's lips as she read the note. She ran a hand through the soft roses and her heart raced erratically, knowing who they came from. 'Did he send these because he wants to outdo Wesley?' "So childish," she muttered under her breath but she couldn't hold back the smile that crossed her lips. Deep down, she kind of liked Oliver's childish antics. This side of him reminded her of years ago when they were innocent and so crazy in love. Holding the vase in her hands, she raised it to her nose and took a big whiff, loving the way the floral scent filled her office space. A giggle left her lips when she recalled the first time Oliver gave her flowers. He was shy when his mother exposed how he had planted flowers in the garden to give to Claire. Roxanne urged Oliver to give Claire the flowers he painstakingly grew for her. Oliver's ears turned red. He disappeared and came back with a bunch of daisies in his hands, saying, "I grew these fo

Oliver clenched his hands into fists, staring at the door which Claire had banged on her way out. Frustration was evident on his face as he pulled at his tie, hating the way Claire defended Wesley. He didn't know why but he had this bad feeling about Wesley. The fact that he even came to propose a partnership made him more suspicious. Having not worked with the Crawford automotive group before, Oliver wondered if Wesley was up to something. Besides, his father, Henry Ford, always rejected working with the said group when he was the CEO and Oliver thought it was strange. 'Could it be a shady company?' He mused. There was something fishy. He could find information about anyone or anything easily, however, Wesley's information was locked away. Heck, Oliver didn't even know he was the managing director of the Crawford Automotive Group. Finding information about him was proving to be hard, however, this was similar to what had happened for the past six years. Oliver couldn't find

Oliver Ford had just returned to the company from an outside meeting. He was passing through the lobby when he froze after hearing the receptionist's words as she spoke on the phone. "I'm afraid you're calling the wrong number. Our CEO doesn't have a child. Yes, I did hear you but we've never heard of a child named Thalia Hamilton. She doesn't even have the Ford's last name-" "What is it?" Oliver asked as he approached the receptionist's desk. She removed the phone from her ear and reported hesitantly, "It's the Principal from the Baobab International School. She's saying your daughter has been bullied at school." Oliver held out his hand, asking for the phone. When he grabbed it, he put it to his ear and asked, "What happened?" "Thalia Hamilton was bullied by one of her classmates, sir. The father of the boy is being unreasonable. Thalia asked me to call her father and said it was you," the principal answered on the phone. A sudden surge of protectiveness washed over Oliver.

"M-Mr F-Ford! It's really you!" Arnold's eyes widened and his forehead was coated with beads of sweat. He might have had a position in the government but it wasn't big enough for him to go against a powerful man like Oliver Ford. When Thalia mentioned Oliver as the father, Arnold thought she was just trying to scare them into thinking she had a powerful father. Seeing Oliver in the flesh made him want to pee his pants from fear. Oliver was oozing a powerful and dominant aura that he couldn't even look into his cold eyes. "I didn't know she was your daughter-" "So, you let your son bully other kids just because their parents are not as powerful as you?" Oliver questioned in a dangerously low voice. "Who gave you and your son that right? Shouldn't you have disciplined him well?" "I...I-" "And you, Miss Thompson, why do we have such a bad kid in our school? Is this how you run the institution?" Oliver directed his question at the principal. His words sounded calm, however, there

Years came and went... After a warm shower, Oliver stood behind his wife to help her wear the necklace that was engraved with their children's names. "So, you know what today is?" He asked as he placed the necklace around her neck. "How could I forget?" Claire arched an eyebrow. "You've been talking about it for months.""Yes... because I've been preparing a vacation for us for when this day comes. I can't believe it's been eight years already," Oliver remarked. When he was done putting the necklace around Claire's neck, he placed a soft kiss in the crook of her neck before saying, "You've made me the happiest man on earth, Angel."Claire sighed before leaning back into Oliver. She remarked, "Time flies."Everything was going well for everyone. Oliver Ford had taken over as chairman of the Ford Corporation after his father, Henry Ford, retired. With Oliver's leadership, the company was taken to greater heights and it expanded to more foreign countries. As for his marriage with Cl

"Uncle Jake. Remember how you owe me?" Thalia said with her arms crossed over her chest. "I'm here to collect."Oliver, Jake and Liam were left to babysit the kids while their women went out to relax. The men chose to let the kids play in the playroom while they caught up on a few soccer games that they had missed during the week. However, Thalia saw this as an opportunity to collect her debt from one Jake Norton. He was seated in the living area, invested in a soccer game when she confronted him. Jake's eyes widened. He didn't expect the little one to interrupt him when the game was just getting good. His favorite team were leading and he wanted to see how it would end. He chuckled and replied, "You want to collect now? Let's wait until the game is over, ok?""Are you trying to run away from paying your debt, Uncle Jake? A real man sticks to his words," Thalia remarked in her adorable voice. Jake sighed. He said, "Ok, you win, sweetheart. So, tell me. What do you want me to do f

A few weeks later..."I can't believe you guys are having a double wedding! I'm so freaking jealous! I want to get married again so that we have a triple wedding!" Claire exclaimed after Quinn and Aria were done with their makeup."Oh my... you two look so gorgeous. I love the designer wedding dresses," Claire remarked with a smile plastered on her face. "It was more convenient since we were both getting married this year. Besides, Jake and Liam are ecstatic about getting married on the same day," Quinn replied, smiling. They had come to that decision during Thalia's birthday party. Oliver suggested it and the rest thought it was a good idea. "I'm more surprised that Aria is getting married. She's just a year older than me. We promised to get married at thirty," Evelyn remarked. She sighed and looked at her friend in awe. "You make such a beautiful bride, Ari. Congratulations."Aria smiled, looking at herself in the mirror. She couldn't recognise herself. With her hair pulled up int

Liam entered Aria’s apartment for the first time. He noted how cosy and homely it felt. There were blue couches in the living room and grey curtains on the windows. Liam’s eyes fell on the portrait of a little boy hanging on the wall. His heart raced as he looked at the boy who had dark brown curly hair with fair skin and hazel eyes. ‘Is that my son?’ He thought in his mind. The boy took after Aria but he had his eyes. Liam's heart felt warm. He glanced at Aria and eagerly asked, "Where's Jayce? Where's my son?""He should be in the kitchen with his nanny. Let me get him," Aria responded, her stomach a bundle of nerves. She still couldn't believe what was happening. It all felt surreal. Just the previous day, she didn't know who Jayce's father was, but now, not only did she find out who it was, but he also proposed to her. Who knew she would end up with the stranger she had a one-night stand with?Her heart was filled with warmth and sweetness. Aria looked for her son and sure e

Sophia Hill was over the moon at the thought of her long-time dream finally coming true. When she left the special forces and joined Liam’s company as part of his security team, she developed a crush on him.She did all she could to get noticed by him and when Liam noticed how good she was, he promoted her to be his personal bodyguard. However, that was just it. Liam never made a move on her or spared her a glance. Sophia thought since he was a player, it wouldn’t be hard for him to fall for her. However, nothing of that sort happened. Liam kept her as a bodyguard and never saw her as anything more. A chance came for Sophia to make Liam hers. He accidentally got drugged at a party and Sophia was ecstatic about such a great opportunity. To her shock, she found him making love to another woman in the room she had booked for him. Fierce jealousy rushed through Sophia and she wanted nothing but to separate the two but it was too late. All she could do was wait until Liam was done. She

Liam’s heart was beating like a drum within the walls of his chest. He took in a deep breath as he held the envelope. His friends stood beside him, waiting to read the results with him. Oliver patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t worry… even if you don’t turn out to be the father, you still love Aria and you will be with her.”“That’s right. Look at me and Lucian. We may not be related by blood but he’s my son and I love him. I’m sure Aria’s son will love you regardless.” Liam let out a breath. He glanced at his friends and they nodded at him in encouragement. Ignoring his pounding heart, he opened the envelope and took out the document with trembling hands. “The results are usually at the bottom of the page,” Jake remarked. “Don’t waste your time reading the statistics.”Liam’s eyes went to the bottom of the page and he read the results in his heart. A smile crossed his lips before it turned into a grin. “The child is mine! Aria’s son is mine! Haha! I have a son!” Liam exclaimed,

“What?” Jake’s eyes were almost popping out of their sockets. “Is it the same Aria we all know? Wait, she’s back?”Liam almost laughed at his friends' reaction. He knew they would be shocked. He and Aria had a huge age gap but surprisingly, they got along well. No one would know they were nine years apart in age if they saw them together. This was why Liam was convinced she was the one. He wanted someone he could relate well with as a wife. Forever is a long time to be with someone you can't stand. He nodded and replied, “Yes, it’s her. She’s working at my company-”“Liam… she’s like a sister to me. Are you really in love with her or you’re taking advantage of her?” Oliver questioned, his eyes narrowed down at his friend. “I wouldn’t propose to her if I didn’t love her-”“You what? Are you crazy? Do you think Uncle Adrian will agree? He knows you’re a player,” Oliver said. “You could have started by winning him over first.” “Well, I’ll do that but first, there’s something I need he

Liam's hand trembled when he held the familiar bracelet in his hands. What did this mean? Why was this bracelet with Aria?He took in a sharp breath, his heart clenching at the memory that flashed through his mind as he examined the bracelet. It was definitely this bracelet. He may not remember anything from that night but he remembered how brutal he was. The drug had taken full effect and he lost control. It was like a beast within him was unleashed and he devoured the woman who had walked into his room without mercy.This was why he felt guilty when he found out it was Sophia. He was so rough and probably hurt her during the session. This was why he kept her around to compensate her. However, the bracelet in his hand brought back part of his long-lost memory. The woman beneath him was struggling when he became so rough he had to grab her neck to pound into her like a crazed beast. He recalled how she held his wrist and the bracelet in his hand was on her wrist. The bracelet was m

"Why can't you take me seriously, cupcake? I really want to marry you," Liam said after Aria tried to brush off his words as bluff. Who didn't know that Liam never wanted to get married? He had been announcing it for years since she knew him. She chuckled and uttered, "You don't need to lie, Liam. I know you." Liam furrowed his eyebrows. He remarked, "There you go again using my reputation to judge me. I want to marry you, Aria. You're the right one for me... I can feel it in my bones."“B-But you haven’t even met my son yet,” Aria mumbled when she realised he wasn't joking. “I’ll meet him before we have our wedding,” Liam replied. Aria’s eyes widened into saucers. She asked, “We will have a wedding?”“Of course! Isn’t that how people get married?” Liam arched an eyebrow. “I thought you wanted a contract marriage. Like you need a wife and I’m available-”“It’s not a contract. I want to marry you for life,” Liam proclaimed. “Till death do us part.”Aria bit her lower lip as she th
