"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. Did he have to always talk to her with so much irritation??But she told herself that t
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
Olive gulped down her saliva before she looked elsewhere, her face grew hot and this did not pass the sight of her mother-in-law. Stella taunted her "See how red you look, Olive dear."Logan chuckled softly as he kept her shoes in the bag. 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
"Babe..." Logan smiled at her as he stood in between London and Olive, blocking London's vision.Olive creased her brows at his sudden appearance and mostly especially how he just came to cut into her conversation with London."Are you back now?" She questioned and instead of answering, he wrapped his arms around her waist, making London quickly butt in."I'll be expecting you by Wednesday, sister-in-law" he grinned at her before he dashed off, leaving the couples alone.Logan let go of her as he inquired "What's happening on Friday?" He took a step away from her while tucking his hands into his pockets with a nonchalant face.Olive folded her arms around her waist, she looked around before bringing her eyes to look at him. She firstly scoffed in a low tone, with a forced smile,she whispered to him "And since when do you start meddling in my affairs? I do not appreciate that"Logan glared at her as he said between gritted teeth "That's my brother!"A snarl surfaced on Olive's face but
Logan angrily ended the call and threw the phone on his bed. He ran his hand through his hair, his anger made his chest rise and fall rapidly.He and his girlfriend have been having several fights after another lately and it was becoming tiring. It was starting to get on his nerves!He was so pissed that he stormed out of the room, heading downstairs to join Olive for breakfast. He needed to be away from his cell phone because he knew how persistent Ravenna could be. She would buzz his phone unfailingly.He spotted olive already eating at the dining “I thought you said you would wait for me?” He asked as he walked towards them.Mrs Jenkins smiled while greeting “Good morning, Logan” she said while placing the jar of orange juice on the table that was filled with lots of dishes.Logan nodded “Good morning, Mrs Jenkins,” he said while sitting on the Chair next to Olive. Olive raised a brow at him, she replied“I waited for a long time but it didn’t seem as if you were going to come down
Logan seized her up with discerning eyes, but she remained deviant. He quickly reminded her "You are still grieving over your mother's death, holding a wedding at this time is.."She impatiently cut him off, her eyes remained calm as she gritted out "I want the wedding. She is gone now.." she swallowed hard when she noticed her voice beginning to break. Her fingers gripped her pajama tightly to press down her sob. She continued but her voice kept trembling "I want this." Logan sighed, she looked very pitiful but trying to be strong. He returned his focus to the call "Fine. We will start preparations immediately" with that, he ended the call abruptly before shoving the phone into his pants pocket.He closed the space between them, his eyes softened as he held Olive's hands. His eyes darted between hers while consoling her "You do not need to pressure yourself at this time. About the Andersons, I have everything under control. Just sit and watch how I break them"Olive shook her head
Logan widened his eyes in shock but he couldn't even find the strength to pull her away from him. She was all emotional and fragile, he just allowed her to do the kissing which he soon started to reciprocate after a while. He kissed her so tenderly, his palm massaged her hair as if to soothe her nerves.Olive was kissing him but her tears kept rolling and her eyes turned drowsy, her red eyes took weak to stay awake.Logan felt the slow response and when he detached their lips, he found the woman sleeping soundly under him.Even in her sleep, her face still held a frown and he chuckled lightly before smoothing the lines between her brows. He looked at her again and a sigh escaped his lips. He couldn't imagine himself in her position for a day. He would go insane if he was to lose his mother, this was one of the reasons he planned to go easy on her for a while.He gently stroked her hair and tucked her to sleep before covering her up with the duvet. He turned off the lamp close to th
Irritation was evident on Logan's face when he saw how deviant Ravenna was. He scowled "Get out of my way!" He didn't know where this anger came from and why but he knew he hated all she said to his face. "Else...we’re over!" Hearing his last statement, Ravenna blinked twice, as if she was poured cold water, she started to stammer while complaining " You are-you are going to break up with me cause-cause of that bitch??" Surprise flashed across her face like a million times as she tried to make sense of his earlier words.Logan shook his head, he knew he didn't say that because of Olive but something else which he wasn't going to start explaining to her now "Just, Get out of my sight," he gritted out, his anger was still so bad.Ravenna broke down as she shifted away from the door, her usual tearing section was about to begin but Logan was hella impatient. He didn't even look at her face as he pulled the door open and dashed off as if someone dangerous was after his head.Seeing how h
A big smile flashed on Ravenna's face when she saw Logan. The clicking of her heels on the cemented floor made a dull echo as she walked towards them with a broad smile on her face."Hey, Babe" She grinned widely at him before tucking his sleeve.Logan sighed before glaring at Scott. He turned to look at her with a forced smile "Hey, Love. Come with me" Ravenna giggled as she followed Logan out of the place. They moved towards the dark corner of the house, leaving Scott alone.Scott sighed before matching towards the living room where the party was hosted.Logan took Ravenna to the back entrance but not into the VIP room Scott had told him about earlier. Logan turned towards various corners in the lobby, grateful that Scott didn't allow anyone into this side of the house. He guided her into Scott's guest room.Ravenna had a smirk on her face as she entered the room before Logan. He shut the door after them.Once in the confines of the room, away from the loud music and deafening cha
Logan grunted as his call was directed to a voicemail for the sixth time. He has been trying to get a hold of Olive for the past few minutes but his call was directed to voicemail. He had told her to return early and now, it was almost 8 Pm, he thought she’d come back by 6 pm so he decided to do things slowly while waiting for her.7 pm successfully rolled by and he had taken his shower, starting to dress up but she was not yet back from wherever she went to.She didn’t even say where she was going to, not like he wanted to know but he just wanted her to come back home already.‘Is she okay?’ That thought came to his head, remembering how solemn she looked before they parted ways earlier. And then, images of how her face looked swollen the previous night. He then remembered that his informant told him about the Anderson family’s involvement in Olive’s Mother's treatment.“She probably went to the hospital to visit her mother” he whispered to himself. Thinking that was why she had sa
Olive was like an angry bird all through the day. She was pissed as she got dressed and bid his family Goodbye. She kept pouting while he drove the car back to their house.Logan didn't say a word to her and just left her to herself because he was equally annoyed that she was openly flirting with London.Olive pressed her body to the door while looking out of the window, her arms were crossed around her chest.The silence in the car lingered for a while before Olive said with a thick angry voice "Drop me off at the station there. I need to head somewhere!" He removed his attention from the road to look at her, he didn't ask her where she was going, it wasn't his business anyway.Nobody said a word after that, Logan continued driving and soon, he parked his car a little distance from where the bus station was. Olive hurriedly tried to open the door but he quickly held her arm, making her snap her head towards his direction with a glaring look."Come home early though, I don't care whe
When Olive woke up the next morning, she woke up to an empty bed with just herself.Logan was gone. She stretched out her arms but her nose was clogged. Probably due to snot. She gazed around the room before a sigh escaped her lips. The early morning sun brightened up the room,giving it a warm feeling.Olive grumbled while getting off the bed, her hair was all messy and her face was covered in drool and dried tears. When she came face to face with the mirror in Logan’s bathroom, she almost screamed out her lungs. She was looking like a mad woman with that disheveled hair and stained face.She drooled the previous night and it was just so clear on her face. Without wasting time, she turned on the water faucet. She placed her hand under to fetch some water and she quickly washed her face clean. She sighed again as she stared at herself in the mirror.Olive looked like shit. She didn’t realize when she fell asleep last night and it seems she had a great sleep due to how relieved she wa
After Olive left, Logan took his phone and sent Revenna a text. Logan—{Hey Babe. I'm sorry but I won't be able to come over tonight as I promised. Something happened}Just as his text was sent, his phone started to vibrate. He sighed when he saw that Ravenna was the caller. He didn't need to be told that she had seen the text but wanted to cry over it again.He really couldn't pick up the call because he was at his parent's house and the doors are not soundproofed like his. He declined the call but she was persistent as she kept calling. He almost wanted to switch off the phone.The third call came in and he was about to answer the phone call in annoyance when the bathroom door clicked open. The sound was a bit creaky and it made him look up from his phone.Olive just came out of the bathroom. His eyes scanned her face, it seemed she had washed her face but her face were swollen...especially her eyes.He dropped the phone on the bed and it made a ding sound, indicating an incoming t
