Olivia settled in the headquarters of her large company, she would only be there for two months, long enough to finish her unfinished business, it was almost time to leave, when the door of her office rang.
She wasn't expecting any visitors, so intrigued she opened the door, her eyes widened in surprise, when she realized who was on the other side of the door.
"What are you doing here?" He asked Harrison
"Good afternoon, Olivia, I've come to talk to you. The woman was reluctant to listen to him, but her ex-husband's weak gaze made her agree.
Harrison entered Olivia's office with the caution of someone treading uncharted territory. The air was filled with the accumulated tension of years of disagreements and open wounds. Olivia, though intrigued, maintained an unflappable expression, ready to listen to what he had to say.
"I didn't think I'd ever see you again in my life, least of all here at my company," Olivia said, crossing her arms.
Harrison looked away, a gesture that reflected some discomfort.
"Olivia, I needed to talk to you. I've been reflecting on everything that's happened between us," Harrison began in a voice full of sincerity
Olivia listened to him in silence, showing no signs of emotion.
"I know I made mistakes, that I hurt you in ways I can't even fully comprehend. But I've also realized what you meant to me, and... Harrison hesitated for a moment before continuing. And I realized that I never stopped loving you.
Olivia raised an eyebrow, expressing disbelief at Harrison's words.
"After everything that's happened, now you decide to show up and declare your love?" Olivia replied with a tone of disdain.
Harrison sighed, acknowledging the validity of the question.
"I know it's hard to believe, Olivia, but I've made mistakes. I've lost the most valuable thing I had, and now I realize I can't live without you.
Harrison's words echoed through the silence of the office, creating a tense pause as Olivia processed the revelation
"Well, Harrison, what do you expect me to do with everything you're telling me?" Olivia asked defiantly.
"Olivia, I want you to forgive me, I want you to give me a chance so we can talk about the two of you again, and why not?" Achieving Your Forgiveness
Olivia laughed ironically, looked Harrison up and down, and began to surround him with her footsteps.
"Do you think I'm stupid or what?" I've always known that you never loved me. Where did this sudden love for me come from?
"I don't know what you mean Olivia, I think it was a mistake to come here," Harrison shook his head and disappointed wanted to leave, but she stopped him.
"It wasn't a mistake Harrison, everything you're telling me is a mistake, but if you want me to be honest, it's clear that I don't believe in you, I'm completely sure that your interests are different, I know that your company is bankrupt and will soon go out of business, and you've come to me, because you need a lifeline.
Olivia's words left Harrison shocked. How did he know? She was a cunning woman, not the naïve one she always thought. However, he denied everything.
"Olivia, of course you don't, I'm talking to you from the heart, but I understand that you don't want to talk to me and that you think like that, I cause you too much pain.
"Harrison, so you can see that I am a kind woman, I will help you.
Harrison raised his head in confusion, looked at her suggestively, and waited for her words.
"I can help you, as long as you give me your company.
"I'm not understanding anything, Olivia, what do you mean?"
"As you heard, I just want your company to work for me, I want you to work for me, I'll pay you a salary as CEO, one that you can live comfortably with while your company flourishes again.
Olivia's words were a hard dagger piercing Harrison's chest, he never expected that the woman who once swore so much love to him, and was once at his feet, would be talking to him like that.
"I'll never do that, Olivia!" You're humiliating me," Harrison rebutted hurt
"I didn't humiliate you, you were the one who humiliated yourself, believing that you could come and tell me a lot of lies, thinking that I was going to fall at your feet.
Olivia looked at him contemptuously, as she fiddled with her fingers, slipping away and putting back on a beautiful diamond ring.
"Olivia, tell me, look me in the eye," Harrison slowly approached her, "Look me in the eye and tell me you don't feel anything for me anymore."
She remained silent, while appreciating those gray eyes for which she sighed so much at the time, she wanted to throw herself into the arms of that man, kiss him to the last of the centimeters, but she could not allow that, he hurt her, he hurt her and now he was looking for her, not because there was a real love, but because he discovered her true identity.
"Harrison, you must understand that I am no longer in love with you, now please leave, if you decide to accept my proposal, you are welcome, otherwise, do not touch the floors of my company again, because I swear I will call security."
Harrison felt how his ego was trampled on about a thousand times, the woman humiliated him in such a way, that he decided not to knock on the doors of his company again, or so he thought at the time, because he had no idea that the building of his company was about to be auctioned off by the bank.
Possibly he would return to his knees to beg his wife for a second chance, because she had everything for a man like him to surrender to her charms.
On the other hand, Olivia was loaded with a lot of pain in her heart and the infinite desires to take revenge on her ex-husband were exposed to the surface, she just wanted him to feel a little of the pain that she caused him, and humiliate him as the Martens family did with her, she always had the power, but after her divorce she came back stronger than ever, With a multimillion-dollar inheritance in tow, which would set the world on fire.
Harrison simply carried the frustration of his failure on his shoulders, and sadly went straight to his new home and that of his family, his bachelor apartment, which served him from time to time for parties with other women.But now he had to protect his family from the cold, because not even the shadow of that powerful family remained. His whole family was sitting in the main room waiting for him, it was like a kind of welcoming entourage, but not in a good way, they were just waiting to attack him like lurking hyenas."What did you solve, Harrison?" Emma stood up, crossed her arms, and asked him demandingly"What do you solve from that mother?" Harrison replied in surprise"From this situation, look how we are, in this apartment there are only two rooms, it's so small, so frustrating to be here, we only have the hacienda left, and it's so far from the city, what are we going to do?""Mom, we are victims of our bad decisions, and especially of financial mismanagement, we are bankrup
Emma returned to her son's apartment, wrapped in a blanket of frustration, the woman who once served him as if she were in his service, now simply condemned her to humiliation."Mom, can I find out where you were?" Harrison asked angrily, the woman went straight to the big couch, and plopped down on it in resignation."What can I tell you Harrison, we're at a point in our lives where we don't have any solutions to our problems, our wealth is over, our friends have turned their backs on us, and what's left?" Tell me, what's left?"There's the mother family, we've got ourselves," Harrison took her hand, trying to comfort her."Don't try to change reality," Emma said angrily, "Don't try to make me see something that doesn't exist, we're fucked Harrison!""Mom, I'm going to look for a job and I swear we're going to get through this"Imagine that I went to your ex-wife, to tell her that we would accept her proposal, but the very arrogant one told me that it had already expired, that, if we
Emma barely swallowed, glanced sideways at her son, who was too uncomfortable, and felt ridiculous standing in front of the woman he was married to and apparently never wanted.Harrison couldn't take it anymore and went straight for Olivia. He got so close to her, that he completely surprised her, she wanted to faint when she felt his breathing and her nerves played a trick on her "I loved the scent of her ex-husband""What do you mean by all this, woman?" Harrison asked defiantly, Olivia held his gaze, but it was as if he had lost his speech, he couldn't mumble a word.She took two steps back and let out a hypocritical smile, trying to persuade the situation."Well, dear Harrison, I don't pretend to do anything that can't help you, don't eat cravings! Please sit down.Harrison's cheeks flushed and he wanted to run away, but if he looked at his schedule of opportunities, all his spaces were empty. So, against his will, he returned to his post."Well, for my dear ex-mother-in-law, ther
Olivia looked the Martenses up and down, her eyes were full of contempt for that family, every second she remembered the mistreatment she was subjected to and felt an infinite desire to send them away from her, but life was giving her the perfect opportunity to make them pay, or so she thought."Yes, we're back, but I want to make something very clear to you Olivia, just because we're going to accept your terms, doesn't mean we're willing to put up with your humiliations, so I hope you're not confused.Olivia raised her eyebrows in surprise and walked over to her desk, took out four folders, and put them on the table."Here are the contracts, if they sign, tomorrow they would be working in these beautiful facilities" Megan excitedly went to her, although Harrison took her by the arm, she ignored it and stared at Olivia."Where do I sign?" The girl asked excitedly, "It's a pleasure for me to be able to work with youOlivia opened Megan's folder, and handed her the contract, the naïve s
A touch of red lipstick, a bit of blush on her cheeks, and wavy strands falling over her shoulders; Olivia was ready to return to the company and welcome the Martens."You're beautiful my love, what's the reason for so much elegance?" Elise asked, seeing her so beautiful"Good morning, Mom, I didn't feel you come in"I did it just now, but you were so focused in front of the mirror, so cute! "I'm the same as always mommy, well with a couple of giant dark circles, all night it was impossible for me to fall asleep" Olivia finished giving the final touch to her makeup trying to cover the purple spots under her eyes."Why haven't you slept, my love? Are you sick?"Olivia was silent, the only reason she hadn't slept her eye was Harrison Martens."Nothing important, mom, physical anxiety, the change of city has had me a little disoriented, it's nothing more. He lied so he wouldn't have to explain himself furtherOlivia took her purse, and kissed her mother on the forehead."It's all right
Olivia filled a new glass with alcohol, sat down at her desk and looked at her watch, it was ten o'clock, it reminded her that she had married Harrison in the past, and the memories came to her head...Six years ago..."I love the scent that your skin emits Olivia, I could spend hours brushing my nose on it, I swear I wouldn't get tired." Harrison kissed Olivia's chest, she tangled his hands in her hair and made him dive in a lot deeper."And I love the nights I spend with you Harrison, we've been dating for a year now and I'm the happiest woman in the world."Harrison began to fill her with kisses, his lips were slowly going down her belly until they reached her hips, there he parked for a moment and wreaked havoc on her mount of Venus, Olivia barely rolled her eyes from pleasure and arched her body to give more entry to the mouth of her beloved.After he had devoured every last of her fluids, he went down her legs and showered them with kisses, ran his tongue slowly and reached her
The second day of work arrived for the Martens, thanks to Olivia's threats, that morning they were a little more punctual, however, Emma wanted to faint when she saw herself dressed in the uniform of the women of the cafeteria she felt humiliated, she could not tolerate what her ex-daughter-in-law was doing to her."Emma, here's the list of how each of the company's top executives like coffee," Gretta, the co-worker, handed her a piece of paper with instructions. Emma hadn't even been working for two hours and her feet were already hurting, beads of sweat were glistening on her forehead, and she was out of control."What?" Is it a special form of preparation for everyone? This must be a joke."No Emma, it's not a joke, and I'm hurrying up from you, at 10:30 am, very punctual you have to bring the coffee to Mrs. CEO, remember the instructions please."Emma turned pale when she knew that she had to bring Olivia's coffee, that led her to remember when it was the opposite case, and she re
The next few days passed calmly, inexplicably, the Martens were working perfectly, or so Olivia was led to believe. Harrison had already closed the two weekly deals she demanded of him in order to remain with the company and was accountable to her.Olivia was waiting for him in his office, it had been several days since their last meeting. And that made her nervous, Harrison knocked on the door, she was startled and her heart raced with nerves."Please go on," she orderedHarrison turned the knob and peeked out, she nodded her head as if giving him permission to step and he went straight to his desk."Good morning, Olivia, I see that you have already closed the contracts with the two businessmen I got"Hi Harrison, yes I already did, it's important to streamline the management, please sit down," he obeyed and faced her, Olivia that morning intentionally put on a dark dress, with a very plunging neckline that left very little to the imagination, her round breasts protruded more than us
Olivia was perplexed listening to Emma's words, such wonder could not be true, the woman who with so much pride and ego hurt her in the past, was in front of her in her house, with her eyes waterlogged and her heart in her mouth asking for forgiveness. However, the words didn't flow, Olivia fell completely silent. "Olivia, it's normal that you don't want to say anything to me, and I understand that because I was a very mean and cruel woman to you, and I know that you shouldn't forgive me, but I just want you to understand that I'm really sorry, that my heart hurts for having hurt you so much, I also did it to my son, and even though there are many wounds to heal, I will be here for everything you need. Emma's voice cracked, Olivia couldn't resist, there was no grudge in her anymore. "It's okay Emma, we're human beings and we make mistakes, but you can learn from those, I didn't behave very well with you either, I acted the same way and in reality, that's not right, sowing more hat
Harrison drove as fast as he could to the hospital, his hands were sweaty, sliding across the steering wheel, his nerves running high to the maximum speed allowed. When she arrived at the hospital, just at that moment an ambulance arrived, she was surrounded by several police cars, at that moment she understood that those who were going to get out of there were her children, she ran away without even closing the door of her car. The only thing that mattered to him was to see them alive. He went straight to the parking lot, one of the cars that was escorting the ambulance was Joshua's car, who, with all his efforts, helped them find his children, however, when Joshua saw Harrison, he ran after him. "Son! Harrison! Joshua yelled, but Harrison didn't even bother to turn around, his gaze fixed on the moment when they were about to get his little ones out of the ambulance. His heart was racing and nervous, it was a terrible mixture of emotions, happiness, sadness, anguish, but most of al
Harrison got into his car, and lowered his head against the steering wheel, let out a couple of tears, and started quickly, he was so shocked that driving was almost impossible, because a lot of thoughts settled in his head and each one of them, more negative than the last, so much so that it made him feel like he was fainting.His hands were shaking, and he couldn't help but look at his phone every thirty seconds, he wasn't even focused on where he was going to look, he just sped down the hospital avenue, straight away, assuming he could find something there.Meanwhile, the police had almost identified the ambulance in which Joanne left with the babies, she, along with the two nurses were attending to the children, she was distraught, desperate, her face only showed panic."Miss, we need to get to the cabin quickly, the supplies we have here are not enough to take care of the children, and we are worried," One of the nurses looked at her with anguish, but at that precise moment, the
Harrison clutched his head in both hands and began to scream desperately, his eyes filled with tears, and he felt the same sensation as when he lost his little daughter in the womb, even, what he was experiencing at that moment was even stronger, he felt that his world was falling at his feet, and he didn't even know how to solve it.Joshua came up behind him and grabbed him from behind."The police are already informed, Harrison, son, calm down, please I need you strong."Dad! Why does everything have to be this way? Tell me why? Harrison fell to his knees, his legs failed him, it was as if a dark feeling was taking hold of him, and it was no wonder, his children were in the wrong hands and in the worst situation."Harrison, please get up, don't worry, trust the police, they already know and cordoned off the city, we're going to find them.""I need to go get them, I need to get them, Dad.Joshua bowed his head at the gravity of the situation, and especially at the helplessness they b
Elise and George arrived at the recovery room, Olivia had just woken up from the anesthesia, when she saw them, her eyes lit up and she immediately greeted them."Hello! And Harrison? He asked in a soft voice.Elise walked over and with all the love in the world kissed him on the forehead."He's solving a problem in reference to the twins," The woman, instead of reassuring her daughter, caused her to have a nervous breakdown."What?" Olivia straightened her head. "Is there something wrong with my kids?" A shiver ran down her spine.George rolled his eyes at his wife's words."Of course not, my love, he's just solving a few issues, nothing important, and tell us, how do you feel, honey?""Dad, I'm fine, I'm just in pain, but I guess it's normal, I want to see my children. She asked in anguish."Yes, daughter, and they are beautiful, although we saw them through the glass of the intensive care unit and we can't see them anymore for now," Elise continued talking."If Mom and Dad see that
Harrison didn't take his eyes off his little ones' incubators, he was thoughtful, confused, wondering who the woman was who posed as Olivia's sister."Mr. Martens, is there anything else I can help you with?" Or is everything okay? The nurse who came out of the operating room with them asked Harrison, jolting him out of his thoughts."Yes, nurse, I find it very strange that a woman should have come to ask about my wife, are you sure of what she told us?" Because if so, we need to know who he was and what his intentions are."Mr. Martens, you shouldn't lie, I'm not an unsuspecting person who overlooks those situations, besides the fact that this is a private clinic, the birth of your children was scheduled, we are aware of things, in fact, it seemed strange to me because she was not registered, but I assumed that when you told me that you were drinking coffee and that no one else came to ask about Mrs. McGregor, I assumed it was really a sister."This is very suspicious miss, I ask yo
"Honey, please, you should calm down a little, you're very nervous and so it's very difficult to get a cesarean section," Harrison took Olivia's hand, she was trembling, turning pale from nerves because of what she was about to experience."What if things don't go well?" What if something happens to one of our children? Harrison: Oh! I swear I wouldn't stand it. Olivia lowered her head and let out a tear.Harrison took her chin and lifted his head."Everything is going to be okay my love, because we have already suffered too much and these children who arrive today, come with the sole purpose of compensating for all the pain we have gone through my love, believe me."Oh, Harrison! You will say that I am a bird of ill omen, but the truth is, I have a bad feeling, it is as if something is about to happen, and I do not want anything bad to happen.Harrison hugged her to his chest and stroked her hair, knowing that he too had a kind of hunch, but refused to acknowledge it. He had to stay
Joanne, despite the harsh warnings that Jonathan gave her, went back to her city to look for her family, she felt that her heart was broken and that she could no longer cope with the severe pain that the anguish was causing her.When she arrived at the hospital, as tears streamed down her cheeks, at the entrance to her little boy's room, were the four people she was supposed to protect from the same hell she had put them in.His mother, father, little sister, and husband were all consumed by impending sadness, unfortunately for her, she was a few minutes late and couldn't say goodbye to her son.Her husband raised his head at the sight of her, and shook his head, that gesture was the sign that confirmed to Joanne that so much effort was in vain."Joanne! Her husband whispered when he saw her."My son?" She asked desolately. "It can't be, don't tell me that please.The man, he couldn't even utter half a word, barely shook his head, and let himself fall into tears. She went straight to
"I love that I can make love to you in different ways," Harrison hugged Olivia and kissed her on the forehead.Olivia stroked Harrison's cheek and sighed."As long as I'm alive, I'll always make love to you, I always want to be by your side Harrison, and be accommodating in every way.Harrison rose from his chest and looked at her tenderly."No honey, I'm the one who wants to please you in everything you want, you're my love, my wife and no one is going to change that."Thank you for so much love, well honey, my mom must be about to return, I asked her to buy me some things, I find it strange that the nurse is not here, I'm going to call her on her phone.""Of course, precious, don't worry, although since I'm here, I'll be your nurse, if you don't feel comfortable with her anymore, advance the payment of the months that are needed to finish the contract, give her compensation and let her go, I'll take care of you.Olivia began to move her phone's screen, looking for Camille's number.
