Logan soon found himself in a bar, drowning himself in alcohol while Scott was just staring mindlessly at him from across the table. After that conversation that didn’t yield anything fruitful, Logan had left Olive alone to herself and he went out to clear his head. In Scott’s company, Logan sipped from his beer, his face twisted when the liquor washed down his throat, down his belly. Maybe, this was something he needed at this point. He was troubled by Olive’s sudden change of attitude towards him and she wasn’t even willing to open up and talk about it with him.“Thing just seems to be going the wrong direction, first it was Ravenna, and now,Olive…” his face looked pained as he uttered. “She reminded me about our marriage condition…” Looking at Scott sorrowfully, he whimpered. “She called me, Mr Smith.”Scott didn’t say anything, he just watched Logan take more and more of the alcohol and vent all he wanted. The use of formality was one of the things that pissed Logan. He didn’t w
The next few days went in a blur for Logan. The ongoing war between him and Olive including Ravenna ate him. Olive was very good at making him seem like a ghost. When he tried to talk to her, she glared at him, telling him to back off. She doesn’t want to give him time to talk things out, she grew very distant from him. The silent treatment wasn’t something Logan expected after coming from the bar that day. He misses her so much that he stares at her when she isn’t looking, just like now. Logan was sitting in the dining area, his hands were dancing on the keysboard of his laptop. He looked so immersed in whatever he was doing. Olive climbed down the stairs, she spotted him and her face fell. Watching his back, Olive felt a blockage in her throat, this past few days hadn’t been easy for her too. She couldn’t even complain to him that her back ached and she needed a massage, she couldn’t even laugh with him. Whenever she sees him, she can’t help but remember how he wants Ravenna and
"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
"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 q
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

Logan threw Ravenna’s hand off him and dashed out of the house. Ravenna tried to chase after him while screaming. “If you leave, I’m going to the press immediately.” Logan didn’t listen to her as he got into his car and drove out of the compound. The sickening feeling wasn’t coming just as he had expected.His mind was reeling from what happened as he drove the car out of there. He needed to get away. Far away.Without wasting much time, he headed straight to his doctor’s office. He parked his car outside of the building and ran inside, forgetting public eyes. He matched directly into the man’s office without knocking.Doctor Williams was shocked by the loud noise, breaking his attention from the file he was going through. Logan hurriedly explained. “I was touched. Ravenna touched me, but—“Mr William quickly tried to calm him down. “Calm down, take a deep breath, okay?” Logan pressed his hand to his mouth, he didn’t know how to feel about this. Almost all his life, he has been liv
Ding! Ding! Ding!Olive’s eyes clouded as she stared at the incoming images sent by an anonymous sender. She didn’t need a soothsayer to tell her it was Ravenna behind all this madness.Even though she was aware that Ravenna was trying to provoke her and create a wedge between her and Logan because of the breakup, Olive couldn’t help but feel hurt as she stared at the pictures sent by Ravenna.In the photos was Logan sleeping on Ravenna’s bed while she sat, half-naked close to him. He was sleeping soundly, fully dressed even though some of his buttons were undone.Olive blinked back her tears as they burned her eyes, she threw her phone on the bed before placing her knees close to her chest and wrapping her arms around herself. ‘He lied to me.’ Olive thought amidst anger, she was more than happy when Logan broke the news of his break up with Ravenna but here he was…back on her bed again, sleeping like that was his rightful place, his bedroom. Without reserve. Olive felt a wave of a
Before Logan could utter more words, His phone started to vibrate in his pants, making the wrinkles on his face more pronounced.Logan glared hard at the doctor before turning around to answer the call. He dragged out his phone and saw that it was an unknown number calling. He quickly ignored it.Logan hissed before turning to face the doctor again. “Why didn’t you call me to confirm before giving that to her?? Do you work for her now?? Don’t you know I’m married?!” He screeched.“Sir-you were already married to Miss Anderson when you came to store the sperm and I remember you saying that you’re storing it in case your illness doesn’t get cured, she can have your Child with it. You loved Miss—““Enough!” Logan’s face turned grim in anger, he ran his finger across his hair messing it in between. Just then, his phone started to vibrate again and he mumbled when he saw that it was the same number from earlier.He impatiently answered the call and growled. “Hello.” His brows were tightly
The next few days ran fast, Logan and Olive decided to head over to the Smith family house on Friday for the usual dinner plans. They agreed to share the news of Olive’s pregnancy then. Olive was given multiple access to Logan’s bank cards and it was a time where she lavished. Logan placed in measures to make her comfortable, a female nurse was assigned to her—in all, Logan wanted everything to be convenient for her. Olive was made to wake up, read books,take walks around the garden, eat meals according to time, and stay less stressed. Meanwhile, on Logan’s end, Logan couldn’t wait till Friday that was dragging near ever so slowly than he wanted. Also, Ravenna has been pretty calm unlike how persistent she was when they nearly broke up. She has been rather quiet and it was relieving, he didn’t get to receive multiple texts and calls from anonymous numbers. On this day, Logan was behind his table, sitting with one leg on the other as he flicked his pen between his fingers. He wa
"I'm not some handicapped person who needs private and special attention." Olive countered, her hands were on her hips as she stared at Logan incredulously."You have no choice, Olive. Just to inform you that you will be moving in tonight while your stuff will join you in my bedroom tomorrow." "I'm not moving into your room." She didn't relent even after that.Logan's face twisted as he bicker. "Olive...you do not counter my words, you are pregnant with my child." "It's also my baby and I'm the one with it so do not..." a low whimper escaped her lips as her face twisted while holding onto her flat belly.Rushing to her side, concern and worry laced on Logan’s face. "What happened?? Are you okay.??"Olive only threw him a glare before straightening her back again. Logan asked. "Did the baby kick??"His question made Olive's jaw drop while he just looked at her with curious eyes, waiting for answers. After a while, Olive shook her head in disappointment. "It's too early for that, I j
“Logan…” Olive whispered but Logan cut in on her words.“I know…” His eyes stared deep into Olive’s as if diving into her soul through her eyes. His expression was calm and his tone softened.Olive’s brows dropped. “Know what?” Her heart beating loudly in her ears as she kept gawking at him in anticipation. Her fears were confirmed when he informed her. “I know that you’re pregnant, I saw the pregnancy kit and asked Mrs Jenkins about it and she confirmed that you are indeed pregnant.”For a moment, Olive held her breath, scared of what would happen next. Is he going to ask her to abort the baby?? Is he going to get mad?? Is he going to propose canceling the contract??Her eyes shrieked back in fear as she stammered. “W-what..do you want to do about it?” Her fingers found their way to the helm of her shirt as she gripped them tightly.Squinting his eyes at her, he asked instead. “It’s your body and the pregnancy wasn’t included in the contract. What do you want to do about it?? Your d
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
