Asking for Divorce

Olivia's POVMy alarm went off at 5 a.m., waking me early enough to carry out my expected duties. I slipped my feet into my slippers, then ran my fingers through my messy hair and tied it up with a ribbon from my bedside table. I staggered to the bathroom, quickly brushed my teeth, then stared at my reflection in the mirror.It ends now. Three years was enough time for me to learn Alexander would never love me the way I loved him. In all that time, my husband and I only shared a room once, the night we wed, and the experience was memorable but not in a good way. Worse, even beyond having to deal with my loveless husband, my marriage had been the equivalent of signing a contract to become a slave to the Williams family. They barely treated me like a human. Meanwhile, I had done everything I could to serve him and them. At only twenty-six, I deserved something better, and I didn’t want to waste any more time. Still, I couldn’t hold back my tears.After indulging in a good cry, I said,

The Accident

An persistent beeping disturbed my slumber. I tried to ignore the irritating noise, but it seemed to be coming from under my pillow. “She moved!” someone shouted. “Doctor!” “Arrrgh,” I groaned, then more voices accompanied the incessant beeping. A bright light flashed before my closed eyes. Annoyed, I scrunched my face in displeasure. “She’s responsive,” a voice said with authority.I pulled myself from sleep, opening my eyes just to tell everyone to shut up. As soon as I moved, pain engulfed my head. Many strange faces surrounded me. All but one wore white doctor’s coats or nurse’s scrubs. Vera stood behind them, looking out of place in a colorful top and jeans. Her red, puffy eyes made her look older than I remembered. “Why am I in a hospital?” I whispered. “You were in an accident,” Vera said. “Do you remember?” I tried to sit up. “Don’t,” the nearest doctor said. “You have a head injury that hasn’t quite healed yet. Let us assess you first.”I put a hand to my head and felt

Unexpected Call

Vera visited me at the hospital daily until they discharged me, saying I’d made an excellent recovery, though my memory still wasn’t intact. They gave me a list of care instructions and a diet plan before we left. As Vera drove to her apartment, I stared out the window. Everything looked familiar, so I wondered why, of all the things I couldn’t remember, it was my ex-husband who’d left my mind. When we arrived at Vera’s three-bedroom apartment, it looked exactly as I remembered it. We were greeted by a caregiver named Violet. Vera explained that she’d hired Violet to help care for me for a short while, since she’d have to go to work and wanted to ensure I was all right while she was away. Vera led me to my room and helped me get settled in as Violet arranged my medications on my bedside table. “It’s late, and you should rest,” Vera said.I nodded, feeling like a little girl. I needed her, though, so I was glad she was there for me. She made me feel even more child-like when she

Heart Broken

Marriage and First Night

Alexander's POVOlivia was both my antidote and poison. I felt calm around her, but yet I hated her. I didn’t want the world to know I was marrying her, and I didn’t give her a girl's dream wedding. Instead, I capitalized on the disapproval of both our families—my mother took an instant dislike to Olivia once I told her I believed she sabotaged my relationship with Kira—and suggested we have a small courthouse wedding.I told her, “We’ll be together. That’s all that matters,” and she smiled.When the day of our wedding arrived, we went to the courthouse and met up with my sister, Lydia, and Olivia’s friend, Vera. But even though we’d decided on a small affair, Olivia still expected my mother to attend. When she asked why my mother wasn’t there, I lied with a smile, saying, “She had an emergency.”We spent fewer than ten minutes at the courthouse, then signed the wedding certificate. No ceremony, no heartfelt vows. Just the standard fair, with a stingy peck when prompted. Olivia’s fam

Celebration Party

Olivia's POVI lay on the bed for a while after taking the medication Violet gave me. Eventually, I drifted off to sleep and then into a dream. In it, I was in a familiar, yet unrecognizable room. From there, I went into a hallway then down a spiral staircase. That felt familiar as well, like I had used it before, though I couldn’t recall where or when. It led to a living room, dining room, and kitchen, each of which held that same eerie familiar feeling. As I stood in the kitchen wondering whose house I was in and why it felt so familiar, yelling came from a faceless female standing at the kitchen door. “What are you doing standing there like an imbecile? Aren't you supposed to be cleaning, you lazy gold digger?” She scoffed and then continued. "You can keep trying, but my brother will never love you. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.” Another faceless female figure appeared behind the first. “You’ll always be the piece of silly trash you are," she said. “You’re worthless and don'

Face Off

Olivia's POVMy eyes widened as I stared at him. The name Alex echoed in my head. "You do forget who I am Vera. I don't need an invitation to go to a place," Alex said and I frowned. He was full of himself. He was handsome but I don't think I like his attitude right now."Well, this is private property and you are transpassing," Leo said standing up to Alex. "If you don't want me calling the police on your ass, you better get teleport yourself out of here," he added. "Alex, please leave," Vera said angrily and Alex glared at the two.I stood behind Vera watching the whole scene before me. My gaze was more on this Alex guy recalling Vera's words, that I was married to him."Fine, I am leaving," Alex said and turned to leave but unexpectedly pushed Leo so hard he lost his balance and fell to the ground."Leo," I screamed and Alex grabbed my hand."You are coming with me," he said through gritted teeth.The look in his eyes sent chills down my spine. I tried to free myself but he tight

The Regret 2

"Sir," I heard Ezra say but I angrily interrupted. "Just do as I say," I yelled at him and I heard him reply with 'yes sir'. I tossed the phone to the side and started pacing up and down my room. I was beginning to regret all my actions. I started thinking about things I could have done to keep her with me. Like locking her up. For starters, I shouldn't have sent her out of my room. I should have also not allowed her to leave the house that night. There was a knock on my door interrupting my messed up mind. Thinking it was my mum I yelled at her. "Go away, mum,," but the door was unlocked and pushed open. Because of my condition, my mum had a spare key to my room just to make sure I didn't harm myself. I thought it was my mum but when the person strode in. It was Maria. I wondered how long I had been pacing up and down my room because Maria was wearing a different dress. She took off the long black jacket she was wearing exposing what she was wearing underneath to my view. She wa

Olivia's Medical Report 1

Alexander's POV I sat on the bathroom floor and was suddenly hit by a strong emotion. The thought of Olivia occupied my mind. I just couldn't get her out of my mind. "She can't leave me," I said to myself. I stayed in my room and didn't go to the office for a while. I did my office work from home. Ezra called me and told me about the party at the hotel for Olivia. My lips curled up into a smile. "Get me all the details," I said. "It's happening tonight, sir," Ezra said. "Great," I replied. "We are going for a party tonight," I said but Ezra spoke again. "Sir, I found the Leo guy," he said. "Go ahead," I urged him, a tinge of anger evident in my voice. "His name is Leo Smith, the CEO of a well-known company in New York City. He owns the Construction Company at Aventura. It is one of the branches of his company. He arrived in Florida a week ago and he has an invitation to Ms Olivia's party," Ezra informed. "So Leo from college is the one Olivia is going out with now," I said
