OLIVIA POV. ...I Just came back from visiting my family and it has been one for the books. Because I was unfortunate to encounter Hannah over there..She came not because I was being missed but for the fact that, I was once her worker and I had some scores to settle with her. Previously, she borrowed me some cash to help my family, and as much as I loved her assistance it came with a price.While I was at home, Hannah wanted me to do something dangerous for her, and it was not as If she would want me to wrestle with a bear, which would have been understandable and somewhat achievable, my ex boss wanted my help in poisoning her best friend and Husband, she wanted Sophia and Luciano gone by any means necessary and I'm now stuck in a time loop whether to do it or not..I don't have to murder my boss and his wife, nevertheless, she has made it clear to be that it wasn't a request but instead an order for the assistance given to me on the time I was in need..."Olivia, what are you doin
The following day, since I couldn't find the courage to do it, I decided it was best to have the talk with Hannah, we both met out our regular joined, and she came hoping that I had some good news regarding the death of Sophia and my boss, the eagerness on her face changed into anger the moment she was told that I couldn't do it, I was cursed at for almost an hour and to be honest, it was better to be caused by then to be sent to jail for a crime, you were forced upon to commit..." You're so useless, I'll do it myself". Those were her last Words before she left..I was thankful that she didn't do anything horrible to be but whenever Hannah gets her mind on something, she makes absolutely sure that everything goes on as it is..Her words terrified me, and it was so uncomfortable that I had no choice but to tell the truth to Justin, at least he might as well understand the predicament I was put in. "Wow! Olivia, why are you here?" ..I came in to his office when he was almost leav
Immediately Justin and his crew left , and I was specifically asked not to do anything that might cause the operation to fail, nonetheless, I had this conviction not to listen and so I followed them to Hannah's hideout without them knowing about it. .I arrived shortly after they did, Justin was busy giving his crew instructions and while that was happening, I sneaked through the broken fence behind and got inside the abandoned house without them knowing about it..The place was empty and it almost felt like there wasn't anyone, but I came to correct my assumptions when I heard Ethan whimpering..His voice was coming from the roon upstairs, and so since I couldn't find Hannah anywhere, I decided to go the room Ethan was crying in and take him, after all, he has been anxiously being waited for by his parents.."Oh my god! You sneaky little bitch!!!?"...The she devil caught me before I could leave using the broken fence. I wasn't expecting to be caught and definitely not by her.."Hann
SOPHIA POV..ONE YEAR LATER..It's been a year since I lost my son's father, his demise as been one of those nightmares I one day wish to wake up from, the terror that comes from that faithful night as forever tortured me, though, I still have my son who has now grown into a handsome and loving young man , gives me a sense of belonging and a chance to work hard for his sake. "Good morning Mom"...Ethan has always woken me up every morning, ever since Luciano left, it has become a traditional worth following to the end..."Hey! You're dressed for school". I yawned and arranged the pillow at my back ."Yeah! I wanted to see you before I leave for school... And don't forget that today's dad's death anniversary " .He reminded me of the day I don't want to remember. I dislike planning Luciano's death anniversary, it's already torture not being able to see him and to top it all off, I'll have to plan his one year death anniversary...Ethan went to school and so I went back to sleep, I
The following morning, I decided to wake Ethan from bed, I wanted him early to school because he had told me yesterday about the impromptu test he had in school."Good morning, sleepyhead". I grabbed his blanket and then forced him to stand up. "Mom.... I want to sleep". He murmured because he wanted nothing more than to sleep and continue sleeping, Nevertheless, I know that if I should let him sleep, and miss out on this important test, he'd get furious and not talk to me for at least a month. ."Ethan, wake up , please!!!". I shook him hoping it'll get him to open his eyes, however it was still shut. And there was no other option than to force it to open by force...I had to make sure of the water in the half drank glass cup, I brought the glass of water close and then sprinkled the water on his face, until he was able to open his eyes and withness what was happening ."Mom, good morning" I looked at the time and Instantly ran to the bathroom for a quick bath. He had at least
The following day, in the evening precisely, myself and mom went to Ethan's drama show in school and when we came, Hassan had already arrived and was seated on the front roll with a huge black card with Ethan's name boldly written on it. "Wow! What a hypocrite"...Mom felt disgusted by it as I was. It's annoying to withness him acting like a good father, when all he was and would ever been is a father who failed his son by abandoning the woman he presumed lived.We sat down with the other parents at guardians prior to the show starting. Mom grabbed her camera as she wanted to video Ethan's performance...The teacher anchoring the drama came up to the stage and the first scene of the drama started and to my surprise , my son happened to be playing Romeo..It was the classic tale of Romeo and Juliet.Ethan's started off strong and he kept on a good show till the end of the last scene...We all went down to congratulate him, I even got some flowers with this favourite video games he h
The next day, I let Ethan stay home, I wouldn't want him going to school and encountering another delimma in school, but that didn't refrain me from actually going there and finding out what the problem was and most especially, the kid's who has been bullying my son. "Good morning Mrs. Sophia, to what do I owe the pleasure?". Mr. Silas the principal was surprised to actually find me seated comfortably in his office, after what happened the last time I came and complained about some boys picking on my son.."Sir, we have an issue that urgently needs to be checked upon". I said that and blinked twice.."Oh! What might be the problem, please tell me ". He sat down on his chair and asked..And so I told on about the remarks happening in such concerning my son and his late father, Mr. Silas was taken aback by the sudden audacity of the kid's and swore to take matters into his own hands, which I would want him to do, Nevertheless, I wouldn't mind meeting with the kids that choose to mak
The next morning, I went to the grocery store for some shopping, they were thing's needed to be restocked at home and I wouldn't want someone else doing that, though, I have Daniella and others willing to get that done, I enjoy shopping for the family.."Oh my god! Sophia?". I met Gena there, the lady who was supposed to be Sheriff's wife but chose to marry someone else, I don't usually want to meet people, but it's inevitable to avoid them.."Hi, good morning". I smiled as she did right back.."How are you, I'm so sorry about Luciano". She said, reminding me of what was supposed to remain in the past. When Luciano died she wasn't in town and I was made to believe that she travelled with her husband.."It's alright, we are fine now ". I made it clear to her that we were doing just fine without my husband..."That's alright, but tell me, what are you doing tonight?". She pulled her shopping cart closer and grinned.."Nothing, do you perhaps have something to tell me?". I smiled , s
The entire day ran by with Richard demoting every of my comments, especially the one when Mrs Mathilda had asked me about how it feels getting engaged to a man like her nephew At first I did think of crushing Every ideal that had about Richard being a good husband material, however before I could even get a chance to speak, Richard rushed and diverted the conversation over to himself. Seated at the couch and after having dinners, I could literally count the times I heard Richard praising himself in the midst of both his uncle and aunt..Some few hours later, by nine in the evening, Mrs Mathilda walked both Richard and myself into the our bedroom_ I should have suspected that since we were about getting married, we'd literally be sharing a room together. We walked into one of the big rooms next to another with our bags."So, this is where you'd be sleeping, do you like it,?" Asked Mrs. Mathilda.."Yes ma'am, it's a lovely bedroom," I answered.When Richard walks behind, I turned a
I bearly got close whene he takes out a hand back and stopped me from approaching another step closer to his bench."What are you doing here, go away Beatrice,!" He spoke moving gestures at me.."No! I won't," I stepped a feet forward, " what do you think you're doing, why are you drinking,?". I asked when he turned back and latched out on my face.."Are you seriously asking me,!" He yelled getting up from the bench, he takes a feet forward my way but tripped over his other feet, he falls down hitting his hands on the ground."Hey, please be careful," I said as I tried to assist."Don't touch me Beatrice,!" He pulled his hands away from touching me..He leaned the other on the benches hand and got back up to his two feet."It's all your fault, you caused this,". He admits to my face, moving forward with his hands out to get me..I leaned back."What do you mean, because trust me I do not think I am the cause of everything, you're the entire reasons why your dad is hell bent on di
When we got down to from the car after reaching the office, I went first to meet Mr Smith, he turns and gave me an alluring smile as we both approached the door to the elevator that led to his office..Richard tells he had to pick up some documents by the finance department and so was the first person to leave_ Mr Smith and I went up and as we reached the second floor, he and I stepped out together_ I look while walking further to his office, Mr Smith had his hands tied on to the other, there was something definitely strange happening..We got to his office."Thank you, Beatrice," he tells going inside."You're welcome sir," I said moving past his office door, I was just some few steps closer to my office when I remembered I was still holding unto the documents he had asked me to bring along_ I turned going back to give him the document, I knock on the door and as I walked Inside, I met Mr Smith on the ground, shaking_ the way epileptic patients does ..Fear gripped me_ I throw away
We both reached home after the Photoshoot, I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water while Richard went up to his bedroom instead, I brought out a bottle water from its can and emptied it in a go, I turned back to Leave, I wasn't expecting to see anyone but I caught Mr Smith by the kitchen table, resting his hand to his head, and was looking right at me."Good day Beatrice, I see you're back,?" He puts his hand away but drops it on the table.."Good day sir, and yes I'm back,". I walked some few steps away from the fridge_ Mr Smith Shakes his head at me.."That's good and yes," he takes a look by the door checking to see if anyone was approaching before finishing his statement."I've been hoping to speak with you alone, Beatrice" he tells Me.."What exactly sir hope everything is okay,?" I said thinking out loud.."Yes ," he affirms, "however I've been wanting to say thank you for everything," he walks away from the kitchen table coming to me."Thanks for what sir,?". I asked."T
I went to my bedroom to change, a dress was already at my bed waiting for me, later I got downstairs on Mr Smiths behest, I walked down and went straight to the couch reserved specially for Richard and myself.I was the first to seat down, when Richard was forcedly pushed to the couch by his dad, Mr Smith gently careessed my cheeks before leaving."You're at fault for Everything happening," Said Richard as he blamed me for everything "I'm sorry, so I look.like I am enjoying everything that's happening,?" I slowly moved my mouth to his ears who he could hear me properly."Oh please," Richard grunt and pulls away from getting close to me, "you're mostly enjoying this,". He tells latching his eyes away..."You must be a Lunatic," I said and faced away from himAt the couch, Mr Smith later comes over, he held my hand and that is his son and walked both of us to the center of the party.He made us face the guests there and announced once again about the engagement.The rings was brough
After searching for Richard , and not a sign of him coming anywhere, it was getting late, like so late, I couldn't fit further to search for him again, I decided to go back home and maybe try to call him..I can count the time I phoned him,yet his number kept on sending me to voicemail.I wonder where he could have been?...The next morning, I slept sleeping at the center of my bed, just then , I overheard Mr Smith screaming, I didn't get to think two times about going down to see what was happening, I came downstairs and found him scolding his son..His grown up son_ Richard, who's head was bent down from his dad's angry gaze..."How can you be this stupid, have you lost your goddam mind,,?". Said Mr Smith as he approached his son, whacking his head_ Richard didn't take the chance to retaliate or even speak back to his father..He stood there allowing his dad to hit him countless times, what's happening?.. Mr Smith saw me approaching to his direction, he again slapped his son and f
I buried myself with work untill the entire day ended and it was time to head back home, Mr Smiths mansion..I left the office riding back with a cab, I came down walking inside, when I noticed the ongoing decorations around the entire mansion.I walked ahead, bumping into Richard. As usual he had this resentful look at me, but didn't quite say anything rude; even when I asked too know what was going on with the decorations.."There's going to be a party, dad wants you too attend also,".. he said and left going outside of the mansion Walls..Alone, I walked to my bedroom, I came inside and on my bed, there was a dress lying on it_ I approached and picked it up , when a tiny bite fell off from the dress_ I bent down and picked it up, having to see that Mr Smith had sent me the dress, at the note, he wanted me to attend the party dressed in the royal blue gown...Later that day, at the party, I came downstairs joining the others, I wore Mr Smith dress and as I approached him talking to
New pov Like my name , I'm regarded to be a flower, the colour of my family, my dad and mom, dad passed on some few months ago and it's left only mom and myself_ I see her longing to be with dad at every given opportunity, she almost had herself killed, accidentally falling down the stairs_ alone, I made up my mind to employ a maid that was going to take care of her, while I tackle my work_ Mr Richard's company, Richard is dad's godson, he is the definition of a rude and abrupt man, least I forget totally demanding.I still remember the day I went for an interview at his dad's company, Mr Smith had no complain in working with me and as his assistant_ definitely not his son, bit Richard held such a defense against it and almost made me loose the job, a Job I bearly started on.But Mr Smith being his calm and understanding self, he decided to over look his sons, nasty and childish behavior, he went further and handed the job of being his assistant to him_ PA. Personal assistant.I wa
My mom and I were given the visitors room to stay in, she thanked Mrs Sophia before letting her leave the room.."Are you sure about this?"..I had to let Mrs sophia leave the room before asking my mom..She keeps quiet and that occurs then there are no more ideas in her mind, she keeps calm and watch things happen..." Let's just get settled in" She doesn't say much and just went to bathroom to freshen up. I changed into something more comfortable and then went to the living room, Ethan and his parents were seated on one of the couches, Mrs Sophia saw me coming and invited me to sit with them. "Hey! You good"..Ethan came over after sometime and asked me the question. "Yeah! What do you mean!". I faced him and asked that question. He slowly shook head and intentionally changed the subject; there wasn't any else to say, I stood up and went upstairs to the bedroom..I was there when Mrs Sophia came.."Megan, are you alright?".She asked me questions I do not have answers too _ wa
