Walking out of the hospital, the cold air rushed towards Olive's face, drying up her stained face. She let out a mouthful of air as she clutched her bag tightly.

Her heavy eyes scanned the road, watching the people move around their own business, and she couldn't help but sigh again.

Her thoughts went haywire. Thinking if not for her uncle's involvement in her mother's life, her mother wouldn't have been in this position. She wouldn't have been this stranded.

Her uncle stripped her mother of her properties as he plotted with other shareholders who dropped her mother from her position. He confiscated her mother's properties.

And few months later, her mother was diagnosed with Leukemia which placed her on life support.

If her uncle had released even the smallest house her mother owned and she sold it, her mother's health wouldn't have turned out this bad. She wouldn't have been in this critical condition.

    Olive's face turned grim "I never knew all these benefits come along," she said in utter disbelief, her face twisted in surprise.Scott sighed as he began to analyze things for her "How did you think your mother's hospital bills were paid?? He instructed me to place you on the elite list and have you given access to his credit cards so any transactions you make will be removed from his credit card. And that's the exact reason you were able to walk through that gate without being stopped" Olive shook her head "How does it concern the mall?? Was my face plastered somewhere so everyone could recognize me or what?" "Not that. This mall belongs to the Smiths so maybe the workers here recognize you as Mrs Smith 'cause the news has spread amongst all the subsidiaries in the Smiths enterprise" He explained, making Olive sigh. "This is both good and bad" She whispered to herself, her eyes scanning the whole place. The mall is big and has different departmental stores, popular amongst the e

    "Still doesn't change the fact that you stole my man and made him yours!! You're despicable, Olive!! And I will get back at you!" Luca wouldn't back down as she growled in hate.Olive rolled her eyes as if Luca had just said something stupid as usual.The whispers filled the air.'What's going on here? One stealing another's man and taking revenge by taking the lady's sister's man?' 'I do not know who to believe here'' I think they are a family who are fighting over men! So shameless'Olive twisted her lips before she sank her words into their ears "And like I said, I never stole him. He chose me, not the other way around. You and your sister are the real bitches!" Joshua pointed an accusatory finger at Olive "Stop being stupid, Olive. I never loved you and you know it. I have always loved Adeline and you are bitter about that frustrating truth. Stop blaming Adeline or spouting trash to gain public sympathy" He bellowed, and that made Olive take a step towards them."You and your f

    "What? Scott is not here right now?" Olive's words flooded into the ears of everyone there and Tatiana's loud voice was the first to speak up."Busted. Stop the act already" she said aloud with an air of haughtiness.Hearing this, Luca and Adeline let out a mouthful of air in relief, knowing Scott didn't come with Olive.She probably was lying earlier. They were only worried about nothing. Scott is a busy man so he won't just leave his office to come accompany Olive for shopping.A smile graced Luca's face as she stepped forward to bicker words with Olive.Olive was still on the phone with Logan who heard everything from the other end. Olive quickly said to Logan "I'll just leave then" But his words rushed out from the other end "No. I'm close to the mall so I'll be there soon, wait for me." With that, the call was disconnected.At that point, Olive was already tired of all the stuff happening. She didn't want any more of the bickering, she was too exhausted to deal with the Anderson

    Logan didn't have the strength to deal with the senseless couples as he let them deal with themselves. Dropping his eyes to see the woman in his embrace that seemed to fit her so well, he asked softly "Point out the people who offended you?" Hearing that, the people were scared that Olive would call them out but to their relief, she just pointed at Tatiana, Luca, Joshua, and Adeline. "They called me shameless, a bitch, and someone who is unloved by her husband" Olive complained, playing along and it amused Logan how savage she could be. She wasn't giving them a leeway out of their mess. "Someone unloved by her husband??" Logan's brows joined as anger threatened to flow out of his chest "Who said that?" His eyes moved from Joshua's pale face to Adeline's weak figure and Luca's resilient eyes. "I said it. Logan we both know that you don't love her! You chose me first! We were supposed to be married and living a good life together!" Luca cried out. Logan didn't barter words

    The rest of the ride back to Logan's house was a little awkward as no one said a word after Logan's earlier statements. Getting home, it was already 4 pm and it was time to start preparing for the dinner date Logan's father was hosting amongst the family. It was something that was done every Friday. Mr Smith invites his children back home for dinner every Friday for a little get-together. Logan was also going to introduce Olive to his family so the dinner would be a little different than usual cause it would be centered more on his relationship with Olive. Logan could already envision how the dinner would go—with his family fanning over Olive. It would be a really bad night for him.Olive and Logan got down from the car but the atmosphere was a little bit stiff and Olive couldn't play her role so well as she kept a blank face.Fighting with her inner self why she was pissed by his tone earlier.

    Under the watch of Mrs Jenkins, Logan painfully helped hold the car door for Olive to get in.He didn't allow Matthew to do it as he wanted to portray himself as a loving husband. Olive smiled warmly at him as she stepped into the car and took a seat there. Her face was filled with a bright smile until he shut the door, shutting the view of Mrs Jenkins. Her face immediately fell when in the confines of the car where she didn't have to pretend to be all lovey-dovey and happy with Logan.Logan soon joined her in the car, he wasn't the one who caught her attention, instead, it was his vibrating cell phone.Olive eyed him before throwing her gaze elsewhere, she watched the mansion begin to fade into a distance as the car drove into the highway, heading towards the Smiths family house.Nervous? That was Olive's state at that point. She was so nervous but she tried to divert her mind by humming a little.In her attempt to shake off the nerves she was feeling, Logan's voice ran into her ear

    Dinner was lively as conversations rolled freely, Olive was more than glad to see how she was received warmly. Her mother-in-law was very sweet as she kept serving her food. Lilian, Logan's sister was a year younger than her and they immediately clicked well, talking about fashion and chit-chatting. Unfortunately, Logan's father was very interested in her and he kept asking her several questions "If I may ask, how did you and Logan meet?" Logan stiffened a little but he pitched in "Umm, we met—" "I asked her the question, not you." His father cut in on his words and Logan eyed Olive who quickly responded. "Well, thinking of that—it was love at first sight for him. We met at an auction house and from there, he wouldn't stop bulging me, he even started to stalk me..." "That's insane. Logan is so funny" Stella laughed and Lilian wouldn't stop giggling as she paid rapt attention to what Olive was saying. London, Logan's younger brother nudged Logan's shoulder as he teased

He stood up and walked back to his seat.After that brief show of affection, Olive couldn't even bring her eyes to look at Lilian who won't stop giggling at her."Alright, everyone. I have been curious about something, Olive..." Mr Smith said, bringing Olive's attention from her sandwiches.Logan pressed his lips together, his father wouldn't just stop doing this whole interrogating stuff. He thought he kicked it off by caring for Olive in front of everyone.'What a pain in the ass' Logan was already tired of the meal."I heard from Logan that you are Brown Anderson's niece.." he started and that made her breathing hitched.She guessed where this was heading and she wasn't even sure if it was something she could boldly talk about."What about your

    Olive's face twisted as she listened to her uncle talk. Her hand that gripped the phone tightened. Mr Brown said from the other end. "That's the one thing your mother cherished before she died. Since we moved into this apartment, we wanted to get rid of old stuff so you should come over to grab your mother's heirloom before Maggie discards it.""I remember begging you for the heirloom before. Why do you want to relinquish it now??" Olive raised a brow. She was in her bedroom while her baby was with Lilian who came for a short visit. She left Lilian and Mrs Jenkins in the living room to answer the call. Logan had gone to the office with Scott early that morning. So, it was just Lilian, Mrs Jenkins and Olive at home with several other bodyguards that Logan brought over to the house a few days back.

    “Boss, I just got an intel that Ravenna is out of the country,” Scott reported to Logan. A frown settled on Logan’s face when he heard that. He had kept taps on Ravenna to know that she was stranded. He had taken back the apartment from her and she had to rent another downtown. It was a small studio room. Her ex-boyfriend was nowhere to be found since the day he approached him about his dealings with Ravenna. For anything, Logan was sure about Ravenna being broke.

    "Congratulations, such a beautiful baby.." Mrs Smith giggled. Lilian was behind her as they all smiled down at the baby. London was arranging some flowers on the desk while Logan was outside with his father. Olive smiled weakly as she lay on the bed, discussing with the ladies. Outside, Logan sighed as he tucked both hands into his pants pocket, he said. "Dad, I hope your notion of trying to get me to marry Amelia is over now that I am a father." Mr Smith's hand was on the railings as they both stood there, watching the city. It was evening already. Mr Smith shook his head. His silence made Logan speak up again. "Dad...""Yes. Fine, you're a father of a daughter, I won't do anything. I'll tell Amelia to give up on the chase." He stated dryly. His eyes were wandering around. Logan raised a brow at his father. "That was so fast. Are you planning something?? Spill it."Mr Smith gave him a sided look before looking ahead again. "What do you mean?? I'm serious right now." "You don't

Adeline, too ridiculed by the public, tried to abort the baby which led to her bleeding profusely, and eventually lost the baby and her womb along with it.Olive was shaken by the news. Even though she hated the Andersons family, she felt bad for Adeline. Meanwhile, the feud between Mr Smith and Logan stretched on. Mr Smith was hellbent on making sure Logan agreed to marry Amelia. At one time, he tried to blackmail Olive to leave his son.He had said. "Do you know you'll receive so many benefits if you agree to leave Logan?? But if you don't, I'll hunt you down and make sure Logan doesn't locate the spot I bury you!" His chilly words sent shivers down Olive's spine. She felt fear.

    - Please Read The Author’s Note at the end of the chapter. - As Olive sat close to Logan the whole time since the beginning of the meeting, She could feel those burning gazes on her forehead, and a hole threatened to develop there. In the unfamiliar conference hall, Olive hasn’t stepped foot in since her mother was ruined by her uncle and replaced by him, Olive was a little unsettled. Maybe it was the nerves of what she was finally getting rid of or because of the stares of the several shareholders who were surprised to see her, the reporters who wouldn’t stop clicking their cameras, and the Andersons whose gazes held hostility, helplessness, and sadness. Guilty? Not. One. Bit. Logan as promised was supportive throughout the whole process. He didn’t butt in, he allowed her to handle the work of belittling her uncle while he sat there as her shield. Olive was given the satisfaction of seeing Mr Brown Anderson lose control for once. She was honored by the opportunity to

    The following day, Logan was standing in the toilet with a blank look on his face as he watched the toilet flush away his sperm.Relief?? Hell Yes!! Logan was more than relieved to finally get rid of this hanging problem. He washed his hands and smiled in satisfaction when it was finally flushed away. He exited the toilet and saw Olive staring at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a black dress that exposed her shoulders and a little of her cleavage. There was a slit at the back that revealed just a fair amount of her legs. The waistband held her waist firmly, accentuating her narrow thin waist and making her broad hips more pronounced. Logan felt like ripping those dresses off as his throat ran dry. His eyes zeroed on her ass that poked out from behind. He couldn't help but whisper in a husky tone. "You look prettier than the last time I saw you, Wifey." He said as he came near and wrapped his hands around her waist, pressing his hard member on her ass.Olive smiled. "The las

    Olive sighed deeply as she stared out of the window, she had been in this position for more than three hours. Logan was not yet back from work and his phone was out of coverage. She wondered if he was okay. She tried to reach him again but this time, his phone was switched off. She gazed outside through the living room window to see if he came in on foot in case his car broke down. But there was no sign of him. He wasn't showing up.Another heavy sigh escaped her lips again, her feet growing sour from standing for a long time.Mrs Jenkins came into the room and said softly. "You're still waiting."Olive hummed without tearing her gaze from the window. "Okay then, I'm going to bed. Call me if you need anything. Good night, Olive." She smiled warmly and Olive smiled back at her."Have a good night rest, Mrs Jenkins." After saying that, Olive quickly turned to look out of the window again while Mrs Jenkins went to her room to sleep.Olive waited for a few more minutes and then, she st

    Dropping the files on the desk, Scott smiled cheekily. "That's the project." Logan nodded while taking the file from The desk, he went through it and a satisfied look enveloped his face. "Great. Are the men out of the company now??" "Yes, sir. They have also disposed of their fake IDs and other things that could be used to trace them." Scott reported. "Double their pay for them and you will get a raise this month," Logan said before waving Scott off. "Thank you, Boss." Scott grinned before turning around to leave but he paused and spun to face Logan again. "Also, Mr Anderson has been buzzing my phone nonstop." "Let him panic some more until he comes to the Smith's group by himself to relinquish the position of CEO to me," Logan stated coldly. He had also informed Olive of the development and she was glad. She told him to make sure Brown Anderson was the one to surrender the company rights to him. "Noted, Boss." Scott left afterward. It's been a while since Logan last heard f

    “You all are a bunch of jokers…” Mr Anderson snarled at the four men in black outfits. His veins were popped on his neck as he stared at the men, his glare almost digging a hole in their chests “Do you, incompetent fools have any idea of the mess your incompetency will cost the Anderson’s group??” He slammed the table and the men flinched a little, their heads down.Maggie and Adeline along with several other shareholders were sitting around the table, whispering as the conversation issued. Panic was written all over their faces. The conference room was filled with tension because of the weight of the problem they just found themselves. Pointing at the four men. “You all will rot in jail. Watch me..”. “Honey…” Maggie called out but Mr Brown Anderson snapped.“Hold it right there, woman.” Gesturing to the policemen standing close to the doorpost, he called out to them. “Take these thieves into your custody until they spill out the truth about where they kept the files!”The men star
