Octavia returned back after the court verdict. She had left work place earlier so as to appear in court with her lawyer. Lachlan Williams was also present in court with his lawyer. Octavia was stunned to see how the judge easily dismissed her case and moved on to the next case before him. She had left the court in shame. She thought that Cullan's lawyer will be able to convince the judge to tell Lachlan to hand over her kids to her but that didn't happen. Infact, her lawyer was greatly ridiculed by the judge. "What now?" Someone walked into her office and spoke. Looking up, she saw Lachlan Williams, with a sinister smile on his face. "want to appeal the case to an higher court, huh?"Octavia sighed, "you are wicked!""But you kept my kids away from me for five years. Isn't that wickedness from your end?""Still doesn't mean I'll live in your house or agree to be your fake wife.""Cool. The kids are now permanently with my grandfather anyways. I guess you don't mind not ever seeing

The men charged at her and she screamed in fear, running all around the closed room. Octavia didn't even want those men to lay their dirty hands on her talkless of stripping her naked. She was scared to the gut. All of a sudden, her leg hit the sharp edge of the stood and blood immediately spilled from it. She screamed in agony and she watched blood gush out. Those men caught up with her, ignoring the fresh injury on her leg and then began to slap her and hit her, while tearing her clothes forcefully. Octavia kept screaming for help even though she knew help is not likely to come. At the end, she was left with just a pant and bra. Her torn clothes were littered all over the floor. Carter watched with amusement. He had told the thugs to pause for they were now about to rip her pant and bra off. Octavia had never felt this naked. Tears could be seen rushing out of her face. The bulge on Carter's trouser suddenly became visible, "jeez! I never knew this bitch is this sexy."Octavia

She immediately put a call across to him, "Lachlan Williams will kill you this time."Carter laughed, "go ahead and tell him then."Octavia sighed. "The fuck do you want with me this time?""Just reminding you that our agreement is still on. I heard you've resumed work so I texted to remind you about our agreement. Make sure you connect Salome to Lachlan Williams and make it unsuspicious." Then he hung the phone. Octavia slammed her hand on the table angrily. "This bastard! I should have allowed Lachlan Williams to kill him." Should she tell Lachlan Williams about it? But why should she? They do not even have any close relationship. She doesn't think she has the right to keep bothering him about her problems. She then stood and went to his office but he wasn't on seat so she returned to her office and continued working. When it was lunch hour, before going to grab some snacks, she decided to check on him again. This time, he was having a visitor so she went to the company's restau

After Octavia had sat before him, he started, "I want to say this before you hear it from your sister." He paused. "Your sister and I shared a night together during our travel. It wasn't intentional, It never crossed my mind but it happened." He continued. "I felt you may think I abused her if she tells you directly but that's not the case. I think we were both very drunk.""You slept with Salome?" Octavia asked with rage building up in her heart. "I had sex with her." He stated. Octavia's jaw clenched and she almost busted out in anger. She felt a whole lot of emotions that she never thought she'd felt. She gritted her teeth and grunted, "arghhh!""I know you are angry with me. I know...but...""It's okay. I should take my leave." Then she stood and walked out. It wasn't Lachlan Williams she was angry at, it was that bitch, Salome. She must have planned everything. What a slut! She barged into her office and went directly to her, "you fucking prostitute!" She grabbed her by the

When Octavia turned, she was stupefied to see Lachlan Williams behind. Octavia thought he had left with Salome. "Good night , Octavia." Benjamin said and began to walk towards his car, leaving behind Octavia and Lachlan Williams. It was already getting dark but Octavia was not worried about the darkness. Somehow, she felt safe around him. "I didn't know you were listening." Octavia said."Does it matter?" He asked. "I've sent Salome home.""This is very unfair. There's no way my children will like such woman." She said."But I gave you the option first and you delayed.""Did I? My father messed me up big time and I was taking time to recover." She said. "I just need time but I guess it's too late now.""I guess so. Salome has been good and kind so far. Whatever is between you two has to be between you. Unless she proves to be a bad woman to me, I can't judge her based on your words." He said. Octavia nodded. "I don't really care if he lives with you, I just do not want her around
