"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
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
“Mr Logan…” Maggie tried to intervene as she turned to look at Logan in bewilderment. Logan didn’t even spare her a glance, his jaw were clenched, his eyes still locked with Olive’s. Luca was in disarray as she cried to her father “Dad, what’s going on??” She tucked at her father’s sleeve and that thrusted him into the reality.He immediately stepped forward to explain “Mr Logan, you can’t go with Olive, she’s—““Why not?” Logan snarled at him, his question cutting him off. His blazing eyes scanned Maggie and Luca “I am not married to your daughter. I have choices and this union with your family is off”He returned his gaze at Olive “ Dear Olive, I am still waiting” Luca snapped her head at Olive, her glaring eyes penetrated Olive’s body.Olive didn’t know how to react, faced with Logan’s Waiting eyes, Luca’s glaring eyes, Maggie’s scrunched face, and Her uncle’s death-sending eyes.She didn’t know what to do at that point but to gulp loudly, her throat popping up and down.Logan s
Olive was stunned at the sight of the red rashes that had covered Logan’s face. Her face turned pale as a sheet, her eyes trailed down to his neck which was filled with rashes and blisters.She wasn’t given the chance to protest when Logan’s firm hands dragged her along with him. Both of them exited the living room.Logan’s eyes constricted as he twisted his face, trying to contain the pain as he matched towards his car in long strides.His driver, Matthew quickly pulled open the car door when he saw Logan. His movement was fast as he pulled open the door.Logan impatiently shoved Olive forward for her to get into the car. “Get in” he gritted out, his voice hoarse as he watched Olive get in quickly.His breathing was rigid as he pushed himself into the car too before groaning “Matthew…Get the syringe” he muttered the last part as he rested his head on the chair.His chest rose and fell at a fast pace, and his body had completely turned red filled with rashes, blisters, and swells.Oli
At that point, Olive was dumbstruck by his statement "You've got a girlfriend?"Logan nodded "Yep" he confirmed and that made Olive even more confused."You date her for a reason, yeah? Though she can't touch you, you still date her..why not marry her?" She blurted. Her eyes searched his and he cleared his throat."It's just that my parents don't approve of her, none of them want us to be together but I love her" Logan clarified, and that made Olive nod."So, during our course of fake marriage, You'll still be keeping her" Olive articulated while eyeing Logan.“Just know this is a fake marriage. Butting into my business won’t be appreciated by me. Just do your own part of the deal and we’re good” he coldly said and that made Olive tongue tied.Instead of answering the initial question, Logan pushed open the car door, leaving Olive to wonder about his answer.Logan moved towards the house and just then, Scott came out of the house to meet him halfway."Logan, what is happening next?" S
Rushing into the hospital lobby, Olive searched for her mother’s nurse all over the place in a frantic mood.Luckily, she spotted the nurse coming out of a ward and she quickly dashed towards her “Nurse Becca…” she called out to her in a hurry.Nurse Becca sighted Olive and a smile graced her face “Hello, Olive.” Olive didn’t waste any time as she inquired “How is my mom?? Is she receiving treatment now?” Nurse Becca smiled widely “Do not worry. She is receiving care while the search in a broader region for a donor is ongoing.”Olive let out a mouthful of air as she held her chest as if to calm it down. The nurse beamed at Her before patting her shoulder “One Mr Smith paid for the bills. I hope your mother will be able to make it before a match is found.” “Can I see her??” Olive asked immediately and she nodded “Sure. She’s in room 23 at the end of the left lane” With that, the nurse walked away. Not wasting time, Olive started to find the room where her mother was receiving trea
It happened so fast. Everything still felt surreal to Olive as she entered the Wedding Bureau with Logan who had a bland face all through.She could tell how he hated the situation they were in.Everything was already set up when they got there, With Scott as a witness, They took their wedding certificates.Olive stared down at her name written boldly on the certificate. Though it was a fake marriage, this was her second marriage so far. She didn't know if to smile about it or laugh at her pathetic self.Logan tucked his hands into his pants pockets, standing side by side with Olive whose gaze was on the certificate.He could tell her mind was occupied with lots of things but that wasn't his business. They would not stick their nose into each other's business so he acted unconcerned.Well, he wasn't concerned about her. He just needed her to play her role well and every other thing would be fine."We need to head home now. Today has been eventful" Logan called out to her without looki
Scott rolled his eyes, ashamed on Ravenna’s behalf. Scott was one of the people who never liked Ravenna much.Logan shook his head “No. I will come over to your apartment later today. I might sleep over so there is no need for you to come over to my house”Hearing that he would come to her apartment, her mood was elevated as she beamed at him “Okay. Will be waiting for you, Babe” Logan smiled before walking away from the bureau with Scott.As they moved away, Ravenna smiled satisfied with the outcome. She finally met the temporary wife. She would make sure Olive never acts funny with her man!Logan asked Scott “Where did Olive run off to?”Scott reported “She’s in the car, waiting for you” He didn’t say any more words after that.Logan reached where the car was, he turned to look at Scott “Prepare a classic dress for Olive tomorrow evening. She’ll be meeting my family tomorrow and I want her to look presentable” “Noted, Boss,” Scott said with a cheeky smile, and that made Logan frow
Before Olive could control her boiling anger, her hands moved on their own, landing on Joshua's face.The impact of the slap tinged on Joshua's left cheek, throwing his face to the side. A gasp escaped Joshua's lip before he turned to face Olive again with shock written all over his face. His lips were slightly opened and his eyes were bulging out of their sockets.Trembling in hatred, a String of curses escaped Olive's lips as she retorted. "You stupid dick head. You're nothing but my worst mistake and I'm never going back to my vomit." Her eyes shook, her lips quivering due to the raging emotions in her.She forcefully pulled her hand off his grip before threatening him. "If you still want to keep your miserable life intact then stay far away from me else Logan will have you apprehended and you'll rot in jail." She barked at Joshua who was still holding onto his cheek.He was rather stupefied by Olive's bold actions. Her slap on his face was a strong reminder of how brave she was no
Logan quickly turned on his phone again and searched for Ravenna's contact. He paused for a while as if contemplating what to do. After some time, he tapped on the 'block' option and blocked her number. He couldn't deal with Ravenna at this point. He was starting to get back on track again and he could see his dream company already close to his palm, he wouldn't let Ravenna ruin it.For now, he focused on the little woman under his roof. Logan got close to Olive's bedroom door and tapped on it.He waited for a while but didn't get a response so he tried to knock on the door again. After the second time, he still didn't get a response, making his brows join together as a frown fell on his face."I'm coming in." He announced in case she could hear him. He twisted the doorknob and pushed open the door effortlessly.Her scent swept into his nostril the moment he entered, his eyes searched through the room before landing on the empty bed."Where did she go?" He mumbled to himself before
Logan's face chilled as he glared at the two people who were unaware of their presence.Matthew nervously asked. "Sir-sir should I still drive towards them or..." "Drive past them," Logan growled, he lowered the window as he threw a dirty look at the two people.Ravenna, who was busy grinning at her boyfriend, staggered a little when she saw Logan's car approaching.Worst of all, his window was rolled down and his eyes were throwing daggers at her. Ravenna quickly hid her face on her boyfriend's back and the clueless man turned around to try to ask her questions. "What, babe? Why are you suddenly hiding? Is this some sort of play?" He kept smiling, thinking Ravenna was up for jokes again.Ravenna just wanted to shut his mouth up but she could only growl in frustration. "Stop talking!" She scolded him. Just like that, she watched Logan's car drive past and she quickly came out of the man's back, her eyes following Logan's car.Ravenna twisted her face as she ran her hand through her
Torn? Confused?Olive didn't know what to feel as she kept staring mindlessly at the pregnancy kit in her hand, the two red lines glaring back at her.She was sitting on the latrine with her hair dripping wet. She had been washing her face to at least calm herself down but nothing was working.She was glad that she could finally conceive—when she couldn't give Joshua a child she had thought so many negative things. She had thought the problem was from her. Even though she had undergone several medical tests which proved that she was fertile and everything was in order, she still had this lingering thought.Olive was overwhelmed as relief washed over her. She shut her eyes tightly as the tears that burned started to tickle down her cheeks. Even in all the happiness, she was still sad. Olive wasn't sure if the baby came at the right time or not but she was skeptical if Logan would want the child.He's the only man she has slept with since she divorced Joshua but then again...this was a
The days ran by quickly with the couples on a mini-silent war with each other.No one wanted to address that night they had sex. They were both drunk and after the did,they didn’t want to talk about it.Logan felt sorry for doing that to Olive so he started to keep his distance, not sure he would be able to look her in the eyes again.Seeing how he didn’t address that night and he seemed to be avoiding her, Jasmine was rather sad and irritated. She thought he felt disgusted by her so he started to maintain his distance.On this day, Logan rushed back home to collect some files from his home office.He was In a hurry as he climbed the stairs, his long legs moving at a fast pace.He entered the long passage, and just when he was about to reach his bedroom door, the door opposite his room suddenly opened.He stiffened when he saw Olive, he subconsciously stopped in his tracks as they both locked gazes. No one said a word and Logan cleared his throat, the awkwardness was there.Olive’s e
"He used to be supportive" She continued, not noticing how moody the man next to her was becoming. Olive spent the next few minutes talking while taking large gulps of alcohol. Logan was annoyed so he drowned himself in the alcohol, wondering if Olive was still in love with her ex-husband. The thought of that set him in a terrible mood.Moments later they were both dead drunk. Olive was spread out on the edge of the bed, and Logan's eyes were drowsy.Olive's face was flushed red as she lay weakly on the bed, The bottle was lying helplessly on the table. She laid on her side with her ass sticking up, the robe was pushed to the side, exposing her thighs. Logan's throat popped up and down as his eyes remained glued on her white thighs that were inviting him to leave hickeys on them.He was tempted by the beautiful sight and the position she was in was inviting. With her ass sticking up and her slight moaning made him lose his last straw of restraint.He lowered his head and embraced
Logan stiffened a little when he was reminded of that, he twisted his lips before shaking his head "No, I think she's gone" he reported back and Olive let out a sigh, her eyes still glued on him.Silence followed after that brief interaction, nobody said a word. Olive was staring at Logan while Logan was feeling very awkward. Why wouldn't he feel awkward when her exposed body was bare before his eyes, water dripping off her translucent skin and hair. She was sitting on the edge of the bed watching him with those large eyes. He shifted uncomfortable in his standing position.The silence stretched on and Logan scratched the back of his non-itchy head before turning around to find something to adjust the awkwardness in the room.Never was he like this.'What's happening to me? Logan, get it together!' He cried out in his head as he chided himself. This was his honeymoon but instead of acting as nonchalant as ever as he planned, here he was...acting like a teen.He spotted the bottle of
Olive was oblivious to the person staring mindlessly at her. She slowly got up from the jacuzzi, her wet hair was stuck on her face and back. The blue light illuminated her body as the water dripped from her hair to her feet, giving her a wet sexual image.Olive looked like a seductress Queen as she made to go take her phone from the Table she placed it on.Getting off the water, she started to push her hair off her chest to her back. She let out a sigh before raising her head only to be startled by the figure looming over the door.She quickly took a sharp before taking a step back as her hands snaked around her body to cover up her exposed body from Logan.Logan had seen her get out of the Jacuzzi but honestly, he didn't want to leave there, he just wanna keep looking even though he knew that if she caught him staring, that would be embarrassing.Olive stammered "What are you doing behind the door, Gawking??" Logan cleared his throat, for the first time in his life he was at a los
Logan slowly pushed the door open as he carried the drunk bride into the condo. Olive remained silent in his arms. This time around, she was a little wide awake due to the kiss from earlier.Logan shut the door behind him, shutting the loud music as silence reigned in the room, the faintly lit condo was beautifully designed. A large king-size bed was close to the wall, a heart shape was formed with rose petals on top of the bed. The room was faintly lit by dull lights and red candles. “You awake?” He called out softly as he moved towards the bed. Olive hummed in response.He slowly placed her on the bed and she sat on it, her eyes remained glued on his body.He placed a hand on his waist while stating “I have signed the contract with the Andersons, I think they should be gone by now!” He said calmly and Olive just nodded her head a little. Logan wasn’t satisfied with her response so he asked “What are you thinking about?” Olive sighed “Ravenna came, she confronted me earlier when y
