Chapter 141~ She deserved it

An hour later… At the police station, in a small dimly lit room, a woman in her early fifties sat at a chair with her cuffed hands resting on the grey table in front of her. She was facing an empty chair that was reserved for the person who would be interrogating her. This woman was none other than Diana Crawford, Wesley Crawford's mother and Julian Crawford's wife. Her usual confident demeanour had been replaced by a resigned look on her face. She looked like she had been through hell and back with dishevelled hair, blood on her clothes and hands and her cheeks were stained with her tears. When she arrived, she looked around the room, wondering what awaited her in that room. Was she going to be tortured? The room only had one table and two chairs, its walls had a dull grey colour that was meant to prevent distractions during an interrogation. It was made this way to give off a sense of intimidation to the one being interrogated. Diana felt like she had been waiting for hours an

Chapter 142~ Accomplice on the loose

Oliver's heart sank at Diana's response but his face did nothing to betray his emotions. He maintained a poker face as he asked, "You're not her accomplice?"“Why would I be Jessica Hart’s accomplice? Her marriage to you would make you stronger than you already were. Why would I work with her?” Diana asked, a look of confusion marring her face. "If anything I wanted to get rid of her, but unlike Claire, she had a wealthy background, so, I couldn't mess with her. It worked in my favour when you rejected her advances."Oliver ran a hand through his hair, a habit he had picked up when he felt frustrated. He glanced at Diana and stated, “So this means Wesley was not her accomplice too, right?”“No, he was not. Of course, they knew each other since Adam used to have a business alliance with your father. But I didn’t like her since she wanted to be your bride,” Diana revealed, making more questions pop up in Oliver’s head. If the one sending threats about Claire wasn’t Jessica, Wesley or Di

Chapter 143~ Sweet moment

“My father?” Oliver couldn’t believe his ears. There was no way Henry Ford would do such a thing. This was a man who taught him the value of family and the true meaning of love. Henry was a man who called a spade a spade. He never went through the corners and always spoke his mind. If he wanted Oliver to marry Jessica, he would have said so from the word go. Oliver shook his head in denial. He hissed, “Tell me something else… My father would never do such a horrendous thing!”“I’m not talking about Henry Ford. I’m talking about your real father, Julian Crawford. I worked together with him so that I could marry you and then, he would give you the company… you being a Ford meant Julian’s company would grow bigger under your leadership,” Jessica explained. Oliver’s stomach churned. He felt sick. What kind of man was Julian Crawford? He even had the nerve to approach the Fords to ask to meet him when he knew what he had been up to in the background.“So, he’s just a greedy man, huh? Go

Chapter 144~ Number one fan

“What are you doing here?” It was Henry who practically roared at the man who entered the ward. The man hesitated at the door. He glanced over at Oliver and said, “I was waiting at the hotel and you didn’t show up-”“For a good reason. We know what you did with that fake woman, Jessica Hart,” Roxanne snapped. “How dare you ask to meet Oliver when you’re responsible for what happened between him and Claire?”The man at the door was none other than, Julian Crawford. He was in a crisp powder blue dress shirt, flat-front khaki chinos with a brown belt and brown shoes. He appeared to have aged a lot since the last time he met Henry and Roxanne. His face had more wrinkles and he had dark circles around his eyes. After discovering Diana was a fraud who had married many men and stolen from them, Julian was filled with regrets. He could only blame himself for cheating on his former wife with her. “Well, as you can see, Oliver is unwell, you were supposed to wait until we called you!” Roxanne

Chapter 145~ Date or scandal

Jake Norton found himself being drawn to Quinn the way a moth gets drawn to a flame. To give her space, he observed and watched over her from afar, not forgetting to use her company to help her out in the last days of proofreading her book. Although Quinn had no idea there was someone who was quietly aiding her, Jake was happy he was able to help her out in his own way. When Quinn finally released her new book, Jake was the first to purchase a million copies that he donated to nursing homes for those who took residence there to pass the time reading Quinn’s book. Jake usually read books about business or different wines and food- normally things that were in line with his company. However, ever since he met this author woman, he had read all sorts of steamy novels and realised that he actually liked them. Was it the woman or the books she wrote that he liked? Jake wasn’t sure… all he knew was that everything about Quinn was interesting to him. He was curious about her… how she th

Chapter 146~ Catch you

“I hope you’re not taking me to some fancy restaurant. As you can see, I’m not dressed for the occasion,” Quinn remarked as Jake walked her to his G-Wagon that was parked a few blocks away from the bookstore. “And I came driving… what happens to my car?” She added.“I’ve already asked my assistant to meet us at the mall. He will get your car keys and come and drive your car to your house. No need to worry, I've got everything covered,” Jake answered. He glanced at Quinn and said, “As for your outfit, it’s not bad. You look great and comfortable. We just need to get you something warm. I'm the one who needs an outfit change.” Quinn arched an eyebrow, wondering why they needed to wear something warm. What kind of date did Jake plan? She asked him, “Where are we going? Are we hiking? You rich people do weird things. You must know, I’m lazy and I can’t climb a mountain. Besides, it’s dark. There could be wild animals in there!” Jake laughed. His eyes squinted and his lips stretched wi

Chapter 147~ Every date should end with...

The usually busy ice rink was quiet save for the soft music playing in the background. Fairy lights twinkled above, setting a romantic ambience in the calm and clear night. Quinn was in awe of the place. She could see that Jake had put in a lot of effort for her sake and this fact warmed her heart.However, the beauty of the place did nothing to remove her fear of falling on her ass. Her feet were unstable on the ice, unable to balance, so she found herself about to do a forced split... her heart raced at the thought of the pain she would go through. Just when she thought she was about to hit the ground, Jake swooped her up in his arms like a knight in shining armour. Quinn's heart pounded hard against her ribcage. She thought Jake looked so cool and sexy when he did that. Leaning her head on his chest, she thought, 'This man has a great body. These muscles... oh my." “Are you calm now?” Jake asked, looking down at Quinn who was holding on to his neck for dear life. Quinn chuckled

Chapter 148~ Reading the baby stories

As the days went by, Oliver responded well to treatment and he got discharged. However, he didn’t leave the hospital since Claire would have to stay hospitalised for the rest of her pregnancy term or until they found a solution to her situation. That day, Oliver went to the office to conduct some meetings and handle some matters that required his presence after being away from work for a long time. He was back from his leave, however, he would only work for a few hours before going back to the hospital and sometimes, he would work from the hospital since he was the boss and he could work from anywhere, including having video conference meetings. Oliver walked into his office and told Thomas who was following him. “Call Miss Spark to my office.” “Yes, Sir,” Thomas responded and proceeded to perform that task. A few minutes later, someone knocked at the door and when Oliver called out a ‘come in’, the door opened and Victoria Spark gingerly walked into the office. Victoria Spark w

Chapter 149~ Your new doctor

“Daddy, the baby is bored. You’ve read too many stories. Let’s play a game with her!” Thalia said, grabbing the book from Oliver’s hands. Oliver's eyes slightly widened. He said, "Are you saying Daddy's reading is boring you?" "No... I just want us to play games with the baby. She must be bored. I would be bored if it was me," Thalia remarked seriously.Claire chuckled before stroking Thalia’s hair. She remarked, “We can’t play games with the baby right now, Thalia. In a few years, we will be able to play together.”“Who said I can’t play with the baby? I can!” Oliver remarked. He glanced at Thalia and added, "I'm a fun Dad. I can play games with the baby."Claire arched an eyebrow. She asked in amusement, “How so?” Oliver cleared his throat. He stared at Claire’s stomach and covered his face with his hands before saying, “Where’s daddy?”He removed his hands and exclaimed, “Here I am!” Thalia broke into a fit of giggles. She said through giggles, “Daddy is so silly, Mommy. The bab

Chapter 150~ Meeting an ex

Jake scoffed. His initial shock at seeing his ex after four years wore out and her words sank in. He furrowed his eyebrows and stared at Charlotte in disbelief. What did she say? She missed him?In what world did that statement make sense? She’s the one who left and had no right to miss him. And so what if she was back? Did her return affect him in any way? No. It didn't. He nodded and smiled, saying, “It’s been a while… I’m here to see my friends, excuse me.” Jake walked past Charlotte and approached Oliver and Claire. He smiled at them and asked Claire, “How are you doing today, Claire?” Charlotte remained at the door, standing awkwardly. Did Jake just ignore her? Why? Jake never ignored her... he loved her too much. 'Is he playing hard to get?' She mused. She forced a smile and walked out of the ward before closing the door behind her. Seeing this, Claire glanced at Jake and remarked, “That was rude, Jake. She looked like she had a lot of things to say to you.” Jake sighed.
