"Do I have other options?" Olive asked as she stared at Maggie with a dull expression, she didn't expect anything better from her anyway.
Maggie shook her head in denial "None" Olive balled her fists close to her, she cast her head down as she took in the level of insult she was about to place on herself. She was beside herself, not knowing what to decide anymore but Maggie's nonchalant words swept to her ears. "You do not need to keep yourself that much cause as we both know, you have been divorced by your husband, so you do not need to feel guilty or think you are betraying him." She said and Olive looked at her. 'That's right' It seemed she forgot so soon that she no longer has a husband and the only person she has is her sick mother. And she couldn't afford to be alone in this unfamiliar world that has stabbed her multiple times,for this reason, she was ready to do anything to save the one person who was her mother. With a clenched Jaw, Olive Agreed "When do I do it?" A smile quickly spread on Maggie's face "A few hours from now, you have to doll up to meet him" Olive was impatient "When do I get the money??" "After you are done with the work convince the investor to join my husband's company" Maggie decided and Olive twisted her lips, of course, the company was her mother's company that was forcefully snatched from her by her uncle. "Okay." Olive nodded in affirmation. Just then,Maggie's daughter, Adeline's younger sister, Luca walked in. Olive took a step back, while Luca eyed her warily but Maggie quickly butted in "Luca, check for a sexy dress for your cousin, Olive. She needs to look good for our investor" Luca turned to look at her mom "She is to sleep with that fat belly old man whose dad has been trying to pitch into the company??" Maggie chuckled a little before she turned to face Olive who lowered her head "Yes, she is" Luca scoffed before she walked towards Olive "Bitch". Luca roughly grabbed Olive's wrist and she yelped in shock. Luca applied more pressure on the wrist and her fingers dug into her skin and Olive hissed in pain. Luca brought her face closer "I know you are nothing but I'll try to work on you because of my mom, I just hope your stinky and wretched body doesn't stain my makeup set" She roughly pushed Olive forward before she growled "Move out of my way and follow me!" Olive couldn't say a word, afraid If she retaliated, Maggie might hold back her offer. She needed the money to save her mother so a little bit of bullying won't stop her from doing this to pay her mom's hospital fees. A few hours rolled by and Olive was dressed in a short- white- above the knees gown that accentuated her figure. Her hair was styled and she was also made to apply makeup on her face. With that, Maggie gave her a small piece of paper that contained the room number that the investor will be at. Maggie gave her transport f*e and that was how Olive left after a threatening section from Maggie who told her to make sure to please the investor. She knew this was going to be hard but she had to do this. 'All for Mom' she kept chanting in her head like a mantra and soon the taxi got to the hotel building and she paid him before she got out of the car. It was exactly 8 Pm already and Olive sighed for the umpteenth time. She made her way into the hotel and went to the receptionist to inquire and she was directed to the floor where the room number was located. While in the elevator that was to take her to the Third floor, Olive could feel the goosebumps crawling up to her skin. She let out a mouthful of air as she stepped out of the elevator to the grand floor, at that moment, a group of hefty-looking men walked past her, they seemed like bodyguards who had accompanied someone powerful to the hotel. That wasn't her concern at the moment, she searched through the small mini purse Luca had given her, and she took the paper out of the bag to check the room number. She mouthed "Room 099" she reminded herself before she placed the paper back into the purse. Soon, she spotted the room door, she stood there for a while. She hesitated a little before she knocked on the door but didn't get a response. She took that as a cue to enter, she twisted the doorknob and made her way into the room. The hotel room was heavy with a seductive warmth, The dim lighting cast a glow on the luxurious furnishings, creating a sense of erotic intimacy. The aroma of expensive cologne added to the sensuous atmosphere. Olive remembered Luca's every instruction on how to seduce a man, and the first thing she was told was not to stress him and be docile. Olive balled her fists before she opened them again, she willed her mind and dropped her purse on the table close by, and she soon sat on the bed. She was told to prepare herself while waiting for him, she was told she would have to wait for him anyway since he was a businessman. With that in mind, Olive began to undress herself and she lay naked on the bed, waiting for the man. Meanwhile, Outside room number 099, A young man in his late thirties, stood outside the door, he was leaning on the door while his bodyguards tried to hold him. His face was flushed red as he was drunk to a stupor. Even in his drunk state, he was still so handsome. He raised his hands to shoo the guards from holding him. He staggered a bit before holding the doorknob of his reserved room "Stand outside for the night" his words slurred a bit before he pushed the door open and went into the room. The three guards did what they were told and stood outside the door to protect their boss. Olive's breathing hitched in her throat when the 'investor' finally came to the room, she remembered the last instruction from Luca. "Make sure to tease him and pleasure him, be shameless" those were Luca's firm words. Olive stood up from the bed and seductively walked towards the man. The drunk man whose face couldn't be seen due to the darkness in the room, stood there while Olive unbuttoned his shirt. Olive swore that she heard him curse under his breath but she had only one motive—please him. She helped strip his shirt off and the strong smell of alcohol from the man churned her stomach but she couldn't protest about it. Shoving every ounce of shame to the back of her mind, Olive captured the man's lips and it seemed that broke the man's resolve the man carried her straight to the bed and he fell on top of her. He paused for a while before he stared at the woman under him, his vision was a bit blurry and the darkness of the room didn't help issues. Olive turned her face to the side and the evening breeze blew the curtain, letting a little bit of moonlight into the room. The first thing the stranger caught was the crystal mark on Olive's nape and he was immediately drawn to that, he placed his lips there and started to kiss her down to her chest. Olive shut her eyes, feeling like a cheap whore as the stranger pleasured her instead... Completely oblivious of the mess she just trapped herself in...Olive's eyes were met with the blinding sun rays that penetrated the hotel room. Her eyes fell on her lower body and she made to shout in surprise when seeing the hickeys all over her thighs, belly, and her breasts. She was certain there were many of them on her neck but now wasn't the time for her to check.She turned around and Olive spotted the man who was sleeping on the bed close by. She was surprised because he was really good-looking and didn't look anything like how Luca had described the investor. He looked like a mini-Demi god even though he was sleeping! His face was so handsome even though it was still morning time. Olive didn't know why he looked so different from the description Luca gave her. She couldn't help but stare a little bit more. But then she remembered that her mother still needed to undergo surgery so she immediately grabbed her gown from the floor and her heels. She went to the bathroom and dressed up real quick.After that, she rushed to the table close b
Olive was not only bewildered but also dumbfounded. She quickly shook her head thinking they were trying to make a fool out of her."No aunt. I went into the room and slept with that stranger" Still holding her cheek, Olive confirmed but Luca only snorted."The investor called that he waited for you in the room but you never showed up! How could you be so dimwit to not do this right?" Luca scolded, she was only a year older than Olive and three years younger than Adeline.Olive quickly stood up from the floor, her cheeks had the prints of Maggie's fingers on her face "I went to that hotel, I walked into room number 099 as told and I—""Wait. Room 099??" Maggie bellowed and Olive nodded after a while.Maggie stamped her feet on the tiled floor "Can't you comprehend a thing?? The number written on that paper is 066, how could you turn the paper upside down??" Luca shook her head, amused by Olive's stupidity. Olive's face turned ghastly as the realization dawned on her. Her eyes grew i
"I survived death barely hours ago and now you want to divorce me??" Olive's words echoed in the ward, her jaw dropped and her hands shook as she held onto the envelope. She stared at her husband in disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes. "How could you do this to me?" she asked, her voice quivering with anger and hurt."I'm done with you, Olive," her husband said, his cold voice devoid of emotion. "I've found someone better, someone who's rich and I'm not wasting another moment of my life with you."Olive's eyes widened in disbelief. "But... but we've been married for three years! You can't just throw away our relationship like it doesn't matter!"Her husband, Joshua Jones shrugged. "It doesn't matter to me."His voice dripped with unfamiliar hatred which caught Olive Anderson off guard. But Olive shook her head in denial, she didn't want to accept this reality.The sadness made her solemn, she could feel the emotions welling up inside her like a river threatening to overflow its
Olive felt as though the world had stopped, frozen in the moment of her husband's revelation. Her jaw dropped, her eyes wide with shock and horror. The tears that damped her cheeks felt like acid on her skin, burning and stinging. "What? No..." she whispered, the breath leaving her lungs in a rush."It's true," he said, his tone dismissive. "Adeline's carrying my child. She's the one I want to build a life with, not you."Olive's heart shattered, the pieces falling to the floor like shattered glass. "You..."Adeline only rolled her eyes in boredom while she pressed her head on Joshua's chest."I've made my decision, Olive," Joshua said, his voice hard and devoid of emotion. "There's no need to drag this out. Sign the divorce papers and get ready to attend our baby shower. Adeline and I are moving on, with our new baby, this baby will prove to everyone that the fault is from you and not me!"Olive's body felt numb as she listened to his cruel words. She felt like she was watching the
