OLIVIAI woke up in the morning with Adrian sleeping next to me in bed. It had always been my dream to see that happen.Unfortunately, my marriage with Cyril had limited me from many things I would have accomplished.It was my first day as a divorcee. It also turned out to be one of the most important days of my life.I was relieved knowing that I wasn’t married to Cyril anymore.I was also thrilled that Cyril wouldn’t be coming after me anymore, thanks to the restraining order from the judge.I wrapped my arm across Adrian’s body and kissed his forehead. “Good morning, honey. I hope you had a beautiful night?”“Of course, I did. But not as beautiful as you. You’re the best thing that ever happened to me,” Adrian yawned and lifted his head, showering me with praises.He had already prepared himself for a moment like this.He hadn’t asked me to marry him yet, but I was already imagining us as a couple.He treated me like a queen. He treated me in a way I had never felt before.“You kno

OLIVIAAfter my discussion with Adrian at his house, I was already having second thoughts about his opinion. I hadn’t stopped imagining new possibilities either.Why do I need to come back to New York when I can actually start a life in Paris? New York had done nothing but bring me harm lately. I definitely needed a change of environment to accelerate my healing process.Since my exit from both my marriage and the company, I saw no reason to show my face in New York again.I was eager to leave everything behind, and having Adrian as my only partner was a good start—better than I had ever imagined.I had only spent a few weeks in Paris, yet I had fallen in love with the city immediately. It was the perfect place for me to start a new life.“How long will you be staying in Paris? You never mentioned that. Five days, a few weeks, or a month?” Kate asked me.“Forever, Kate. I’m finally leaving New York for good, and I ain’t coming back,” I replied with a smile on my face.She closed the l

OLIVIAAs I paced around my hotel room, different thoughts flooded my mind.No matter how hard I tried to move on, I still wasn't able to get over the note I received from Cyril."What could he possibly have to say to me? Why did he send a note instead of approaching me himself?" I asked myself over and over again.I just couldn't figure out what he wanted. Deep down, I was scared that Cyril was going to hurt me, especially after the way he looked at me at the courthouse.On second thought, I realized how difficult it might be for him to harm me in a public place."I’m going to see him. I just have to be extra careful. He might not have a genuine reason for showing up," I told myself.Quietly, I sneaked out of the hotel, making sure Kate didn’t see me.I knew she would never support my decision to meet Cyril, not after what happened the last time.As I stepped outside, I scanned the area, but Cyril was nowhere to be found. I searched every corner, yet there wasn’t a single trace of hi

Cyril I went back to my lodge, wearing that garment of shame. And for the second time, I had ruined my chances of getting back with Olivia. This time, I suffered humiliation from Kate—a lady who was once my staff. I had acted like a dummy in her presence just to achieve my goals, yet I still ended up shooting blank.It was at that moment that I realized just how much I had hurt Olivia. When she spoke to me, I looked into her eyes and saw the disappointment. If I could turn back the hands of time, I would have made things right again and become that perfect man she had always wanted.I got back to my lodge and realized that Rene wasn’t in the room. I was about to scream her name when I suddenly halted, hearing her engaged in a telephone conversation from her restroom.It wasn’t just a telephone conversation—she had left the shower on while the call ensued.Rather than calling her attention to announce my presence, I decided to pay attention to the conversation.I listened attentively

OLIVIA"I am coming over. As we speak, I am a few miles away from your apartment."That was the text I received from Adrian in the early hours of the day.As much as I enjoyed having him around, I still wasn't expecting him.We had spoken for hours on the phone the previous night, and not once did he indicate that he was coming over."I guess it's too late now. I can't do anything to change his mind," I sighed.Sending Adrian away was certainly not the best option. It would have been easier if he had notified me before booking a flight to Paris.I had a quick bath, put on a decent outfit, and dashed to Kate's room.Unlike me, who had just bathed, Kate was already dressed. It looked as though she had been awake all night."So, what's the occasion? Why are you dressed up already?" I asked Kate.If I hadn’t known her for so long, I would have argued that she was going on a date with the president."Adrian texted me that he was coming over. I just figured it would be nicer to get dressed

OLIVIA"What happened, Olivia? I just heard you scream from inside," Adrian said, rushing to embrace me.His eyes darted around the living room, scanning for any sign of danger before he turned his attention back to me and grabbed my phone.“Kate called you? What did she say? Does this have anything to do with the screaming?”I didn’t even know where to start explaining to Adrian. I had a feeling he wouldn’t pay much attention, especially since Cyril was his rival."Rene is planning to kill Cyril and take over the company. Kate just called to inform me," I finally summoned the courage to say."What? That’s insane!" Adrian screamed at the top of his lungs.That was exactly how I had reacted when I first found out.I moved closer to Adrian and held him. "We need to stop Rene. She mustn't succeed."I suggested traveling back to New York to warn Cyril about the impending danger, but Adrian immediately objected. "No, that’s not going to happen. You can reach out to him over the phone. Send

OLIVIA“Now you’re missing the point, ma’am. No one is accusing you of causing Cyril’s accident. We just need you to assist us with the investigation,” the cop backtracked on his earlier statement.At first, I’d been terrified, convinced I was about to be arrested for something I knew nothing about.I glanced at Adrian, immediately noticing how furious he’d become. His clenched jaw and the tension in his shoulders spoke volumes.I tuned into his heartbeat, hearing how loud and fast it was—like a warning drum beating inside his chest.I placed a hand on his arm, silently urging him to calm down before things got out of control. “Don’t worry, I’ve got this. Don’t make it worse than it already is,” I murmured softly.Leaning forward, I addressed the cops in a calmer voice. “I’m sorry, officers, but I can’t help with your investigation. Like I said, this has nothing to do with me. I’ve been in Paris for weeks.”I kept my tone polite but firm.“If you’ll excuse me, I have other important m

ADRIANIt’s been over an hour since Olivia left with the cops to aid their investigation, and she still hasn’t returned.They’d assured me it wouldn’t take long—that it was just a quick interrogation—but now it’s dragging on endlessly. I should’ve known they were lying.This is all my fault.I should’ve seen this coming.I tried calling Olivia. Nothing. She wasn’t picking up. I sent her texts, but no response. My heart skipped a beat. Something was wrong.To make things worse, I didn’t even know which police station they’d taken her to. I’d been so overwhelmed that I’d forgotten to ask.“What am I going to do now?” I asked aloud, my voice echoing off the empty walls. “I can’t just sit here while Olivia might be in danger.”I racked my brain, desperate for a solution, but no matter how hard I thought, nothing useful came to mind.I lost count of how many times I’d paced around the living room, anxiously waiting for Olivia to call me back.“Now this shit is getting real. This shouldn’t

ADRIAN“I asked you a simple question, Rene. How the fuck did you get my number, and what do you want from me? I hate repeating myself, and that’s exactly what you’re making me do right now. You’re so dumb. How did Cyril even fall in love with you?” I shouted, my voice laced with disgust.I didn’t hold back. Every shred of self-control I had left vanished.If Rene had been standing next to me, I swear, I would’ve done something I’d regret.“Take it easy, Adrian,” Rene said, her tone infuriatingly smug. “You might want to be mindful of your tone. This is a telephone conversation, after all. You can’t do anything to hurt me, and we both know it.”She let out a wicked laugh that crawled under my skin, twisting the knife she’d already planted there.Then she threatened to end the call if I kept questioning her.I clenched my jaw and forced myself to stay calm. As much as I wanted to smash my phone against the wall, I realized there was more to gain by playing along.“I want you, Adrian. I

RENE“How did it go?” my mom asked as I ended the call with Adrian.I sighed, still gripping the phone tightly. “Honestly? I don’t know. He seemed madly in love with Olivia,” I admitted, my voice laced with frustration.I wasn’t convinced we were heading in the right direction. Adrian wasn’t as easy to manipulate as Cyril had been, and it was beginning to show.It was my mom’s idea to use Olivia as bait to get Adrian, and at first, it sounded like the perfect plan. After all, we’d heard plenty about Adrian’s family’s generational wealth. We figured it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take our slice of it.But now, it was starting to feel like one of the worst decisions I’d ever made.“Do you think we should involve Ghost in this?” my mother suggested, watching me carefully as I paced the room. She could tell I was struggling to figure out our next move.“Ghost?” I scoffed, rolling my eyes. “The same Ghost who couldn’t even eliminate Olivia after multiple attempts? Come on, Mom. I’m not convi
