Chapter 61 : Five Years Went By in a Flash

**Oliva POVLights beamed at me in every direction. The echo of silence took over the auditorium. I was alone on stage with nothing but a concert grand piano. The audience was lost in the shadows behind the glare of the lights. They were silent, but I knew they were there. My fingers ran across the keys, the notes drawing from the piano and echoing around the auditorium. My foot moved back and forth across the pedals, making all the right exaggerations to the notes. Five years of secret heartache flowed through my fingers. While I played, nothing else mattered. Just me and the music and how it felt in my bones. I took a deep breath in, savoring the crescendo before the inevitable decline into the outro. I slammed the pedal to draw out the final notes and then I let the music fade once again into silence. The audience exploded with cheers and clapping. My heart hammered with bittersweet excitement, and I smiled, standing up and stepping to the edge of the stage. Roses and bou

Chapter 62 : A New Life and A New Future

He motioned for me to follow him and I did. Walking next to him I leaned into the comfort of his easy stride and relaxed manner. We headed to the business office he kept on sight. He sat down at the large, mahogany desk and I sat across from him. Bennett looked so regal, like a prince or a king, in his chair. He was strong, intelligent, and he had been good to me. "You know I admire your talent as a pianist," Bennett began. "It has been a dream, playing in your orchestra," I admitted. I crossed my legs and hooked my hands around my knees. "I want to bump Nina back and let you headline solos primarily," he offered.I lit up and met his eyes. My cheeks burned under the intensity of his smoldering gaze. He was so smooth, his hair slicked back, his suit perfectly tailored. "That would be a dream come true," I said. Then I looked away. "Then what's the problem?" he asked with a chuckle. "I don't want to cause any more problems with Nina," I said with a troubled sig

Chapter 63 : Can He Protect Me?

Ken started to fuss as I packed up from rehearsal to head home. The session ran more than an hour over and his little head was already bobbing up and down. I didn't like carrying him long distances but I scooped him up and walked as quickly as I could from the building to our car. Ken mumbled a little and continued to fuss as I packed him into his booster seat. I kissed his forehead and closed the car door. Something near my front tire caught my eye. I went over and knelt down to see what was there. A crumpled piece of paper. I picked it up and was getting ready to unfold it when something slammed into me from behind. Grunting, I pitched forward, slamming into my car. The wind left my lungs and every time I tried to breathe, my chest heaved and spasmed. "Wh-wh…" I couldn't talk. My voice was hoarse and no air would come out. "You really think you're better than me?" Nina's nasally voice asked. She shoved me again.I braced my hands against the car and turned around. I

Chapter 64 : A Call from Home

I wanted to ignore the call that came in just after I got Ken tucked back into bed. But, very few people had my current cell phone number. I checked the caller ID and saw that it was my mom calling. I hadn't heard from her in a while. "Mom?" I whispered, my breath coming in short bursts. "Are you okay?" I asked. "Olivia, it is so good to hear your voice," my mom said. Her voice trembled and I could tell she had been crying. "What's wrong, Mom?" I asked, chewing my lip nervously."Oh honey… I was just missing you and wondering how you've been," she replied, but there was a hitch in her voice. I stepped out of Ken's room and shut the door almost all the way. He liked when I left it open a crack. "Well, I started playing my own solo at the Klein Theater," I began. I could tell in her voice that there was something really bothering her but she was having a hard time saying what it was. I carried the phone to my room and sat on my bed. "It's going really well.""That's gr

Chapter 65 : Homecoming

Ken walked beside me as we got off the plane wearing a cartoon backpack and pulling his own little roller suitcase. He was growing up much too fast for my liking. We went to the entryway of the airport where my mom said she'd have a driver waiting for us. She couldn't leave my dad. I looked around for someone holding a "Richardson" sign but there wasn't anyone there. While we waited, I noticed several men looking at me, eyeing me up and down as they walked by. Sometimes I'd get a wink or a smirk. I'd learned how to tune those out and not react. Ken, on the other hand, seemed upset by it. He glared at the men passing by. "Don't look at my mom!" he hissed at a few of them. As soon as they were called out, my onlookers would look away quickly and hurry off. "You're growing into a young man," I told Ken as he tried to protect me. He looked up at me with starry eyes. "I'll protect you until you find me a good daddy. Then he will protect us both," Ken said, laughing a li

Chapter 66 : Taking Matters into My Own Hands

**Ken POV"Okay Ken, look both ways," my mom reminded me before we crossed the street to get to the waiting car and driver. My eyes took in all of the people and things around me. I was so excited! Coming from Austria to America was an adventure, like being in the movies. But, my mom was frowning. My mom was sad. I could see it all the time but she looked even more sad now. Her eyes were puffy and red. She didn't look happy at all. Mom's smile was magic. It made everything better. I hated when she frowned. She should always be happy with no sadness ever because she was the best mom ever. I knew she was sad because of my dad, he was missing. I didn't know what happened to my dad or even what his name was or what he looked like. But, I guess she was looking for a new dad because she kept asking me about boring Bennett this and boring Bennett that.I knew that if she could find a new dad for me, she wouldn't be so sad. All my friends from daycare had moms and dads. Their dads

Chapter 67 : When Trouble Comes to Town

**Ellis POVIt was hard to be home. Every year it got harder and harder to come home to an empty mansion.Coming home was supposed to be pleasant and relaxing. Instead, I spent the majority of my time staying busy and finalizing business deals in my office. I barely gave myself enough time to sleep before catching the next plane out. My eyes flitted from the papers I was reviewing at my desk to the piano in the room across the hall. The piano Olivia had played. I kept it in my line of sight when I was home, but all it did was bring back painful memories. Shaking my head, I returned to my paperwork. I had to get several deals wrapped up before I hit the road again. "M-Mister Peterson?" a soft voice asked at the door, knocking gently. I looked up, seeing one of my maids. She was blocking my view of the piano. "Come in," I said, motioning to her. She shyly looked at her feet, cheeks reddening, and then stepped into my office. "What can I do for you?""There's someone

Chapter 68 : Welcome Home

**Olivia POVMy mom wanted me to play piano at an event she was hosting. It was a fundraiser for some of my father's favorite organizations. A way for all his friends to gather and wish him well. She even sent out invitations with a picture of me, like the brochures for theater productions I'd been doing in Europe. She had a big concert grand piano brought into the venue. While I played, my mom watched Ken. It felt good to play to a familiar crowd again. So many people came to see me. Old friends, extended family, people from organizations I'd worked with in college. I loved seeing the happiness and wonder in their eyes as they watched me play. My heart soared with every note. I played while the guests arrived. Some of them walked right into the big event hall while others stopped to listen. It took a long time for everyone to get there. I played Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach. I went through all the classic symphonies and minuets. I took a break from playing when my

Chapter 69 : Father and Son

I stared at Ellis as he walked up beside me. He exuded the same confidence and charm I remembered. I heard flustered sighs go through the other women there as they stared at him. Dressed in a tailored burgundy suit with a black button-up, a cream-colored tie and pocket square, his smirk was both challenging and charming. He stopped right beside me and I couldn't take my eyes off of him. His smooth jaw, dark hair, and those sparkling eyes. If anything, he was even more handsome than when I'd left five years ago. My heart raced and my palms felt sweaty. I was completely captivated until Ken pulled away from me. "Ken!" I tried to grab him. He ignored me and ran right up to Ellis. Ken grabbed his pant leg and tugged. Ellis looked down at him and smiled fondly. There was too much familiarity between them. Had they met before, I wondered. "I hoped you'd come," Ken said with a wide eyed grin. My heart nearly stopped to see them together. I had imagined it so many times but n

Chapter 70 : To Reconcile or Not to Reconcile

"Well, well, Miss Richardson, it is good to see you again," Ellis purred when our eyes met. My stomach fluttered and I wanted to look anywhere else, but I couldn't pull away. He had me glued to the spot with his gaze. "Mr. Peterson," I said with a respectful nod. I kept my tone flat and indifferent. Ellis raised an eyebrow at me. "Is that all I get from you?" he asked, his lips tightening. "Is there something else you were expecting?" I asked back. I put my free hand on my hip, still holding tight to Ken's hand. Ellis chuckled and rose from the piano bench. He faced me directly, his eyes dark and dangerous. My heart pounded in my chest and in my ears. I glanced to the door. There was no way I could run in the heels I was wearing. "Don't we find ourselves in an interesting situation, then," he said, motioning to Ken. "I don't know what you're talking about," I said. I cast my eyes aside. Who was I kidding? Ellis already knew the truth. "Do you think it is fair to
