OLIVIA "What else did she tell you? I got closer to Adrian. I was scared that Kate might have said a lot in my absence. “Okay?” Adrian edged backward and avoided me like the plague. I felt so stupid in front of him. My level of confidence dropped drastically. “You know what? Let's forget about it and get back to business,” I told Adrian and changed the topic. I was becoming too desperate. It was obvious. Even the blind could see that. “You're freaking me out right now. Did I do anything wrong?” Adrian asked me. He was starting to feel guilty. “No, you didn't. Why would you say something like that?" I said, forcing a smile. I act like I'm fine, but deep down, I was desperate to know what was discussed in my absence. “Do you want me to leave? Is this a bad time to come?” Adrian stood up, wanting to leave. He had a feeling that I wasn't comfortable with his presence. “No, please stay.” I quickly held his hands to stop him from leaving. Accidentally, we made eye contact. I could

OLIVIAUntil Adrian walked away, I couldn't get my eyes off him. There's something special about him that makes me want to call him back. I never wanted him to leave. Just the few minutes I spent with him, I felt like a real woman again. He rejuvenated the sparkle in my life. He was the missing link I needed. “Is he gone?” Kate rushed to the living room and startled me. “What's wrong with you? How would you walk in like that?” I scolded Kate. I was so rooted in Adrian that I never saw her coming.“Yes, he is gone.Guess what? We just sealed the deal. He promised to send the contract to my mailbox,” I told Kate. Her joy knew no bounds. One would think she owned the company.“What are you going to do about him?” Kate asked me after the brief celebration. “What about whom?” I avoided her question like a plague and sauntered to the bar to grab a bottle of whiskey. I poured a small portion inside a glass. Before I could take a shot, Kate snatched the glass from me.“No alcohol.Remembe

OLIVIA “You must be excited about this, aren't you?” Kate teased me.“Am I?” I blushed and smoothened my skirt as though it were rumpled. I was acting like a child without actually knowing it. “Yes, you're. That's not bad If you ask me. I haven't seen you this excited before. If going out on a date with Adrian would restore your happiness, then I won't judge you,” Kate told me. That was the best thing I've heard in a long time. “Thank you so much for everything,” I rushed to hug Kate. I couldn't hide my excitement. Adrian may call it a dinner, but I don't see it that way. He wants to have a proper date with me. Calling it a dinner was the only way he could convince me to show up and it worked. I wouldn't have been comfortable dressing up to go have a date in another man's house while I got a man for myself.“Enough of the emotional talks. We got a date to plan,” Kate said excitedly as she opened my wardrobe searching for the perfect outfit for the night.“Dinner, Kate. It's not

OLIVIA I went down and shut my eyes to pray silently. I can't recall the last time I did that. My brain isn't functioning properly. It was the only thing I could think of. Cyril slowly drove past me and stopped. I'm pretty certain he was contemplating if I was the one inside the car.The windshield was tinted, so he couldn't see me. I patiently waited for him to leave and he did. “Gosh!That was close!” I did a cross sign. I was struggling to breathe. This was the reason I asked Kate to go home because I knew Cyril might show up. I had no idea that it would happen so fast.Without hesitation, I drove towards the main estate gate where I met the chief security. I had the urge to stop and confront him for telling Cyril that Adrian had stopped by the house. On second thought, I figured that he might want to call Cyril immediately and blow out my cover. It's quite obvious that he's on Cyril's payroll just to keep an eye on me. It wasn't difficult locating Adrian's estate. I was alre

OLIVIA I was praying that Adrian wouldn't find me in this pathetic situation. The dinner date that was supposed to lighten my mood has suddenly become my mourning ground.I tried calling Cyril over the phone, and he wasn't responding. I've never been this scared before since I got married to Cyril. I wasn't certain what the security at the estate must have told Cyril, but I'm pretty sure it has everything to do with him acting up this way. To think that avoiding security was going to save me from trouble, I had no idea that I was heading to my doom. “What did I ever do for security?” I asked myself rhetorically. I've been good to him. I can't recall offending him to be hated that way. I texted Cyril and he refused to respond. He read my texts and chose to ignore them. At that point, I wanted to go home. The dinner suddenly became meaningless to me. Staying out for too long would only worsen my situation. I know Cyril too well. It's challenging to influence his decision. I waited

OLIVIA “So what do we know? I am running out of options to decide. My head's blank right now. I don't want him to hurt you. Everything seems to be happening so fast. Do you want to go back home to your husband, or would you rather spend the night with me?” Adrian asked me. “I honestly can't answer that. It's rather complicated. What do you think? I want you to be honest with me. I would surely respect your decision regardless of how it turned out.” I asked Adrian in return and placed him in a difficult situation. Deep down, I know he was hoping I would stay behind. I could see it in his eyes. Adrian is scared to admit it to avoid sounding too selfish. He loved my company as much as I enjoyed his. Unfortunately for us, Cyril has proven to be the stumbling block.“I don't know what else to say. I am equally confused as you are. I just don't want to be the reason Cyril would be mad at you. My conscience would haunt me for the rest of my life. I do not want that to happen.” Adrian

OLIVIAMy home was nothing compared to Adrian's. If I wasn't there, I would have argued that the home belongs to the prince of England. “It's mine. How about you come down and have a tour? Seating back inside the car isn't going to provide the answers you seek. You know that right?” Adrian winked at me. Before I could speak further, he leaned forward and opened the door himself for me to step outside. He brought me into his Castle and opened the door for me to step out. The only thing missing is a red carpet that should be rolled out to complete my royal welcoming. I forgot what it felt like to be sad. Whenever I'm around Adrian, Cyril ceases to exist. I don't know how Adrian usually wipes Cyril's memory away from my head, but I'm glad he did. I might just be tempted to plead with him to keep doing it as long as it keeps me alive. “Shall we?” He held my hand and kissed it. I became cold. I felt a meltdown inside of me. It felt like I was in heaven already. I didn't want the f

OLIVIA “Just keep your fingers crossed. You may never know, it might stop raining soon. It's not that serious and you know that. Can you see that? I told you the rain wasn't serious.” Adrian assured me while pointing outside. I wasn't fascinated enough by his assurance knowing that he never meant it. He was just trying to act like a perfect gentleman, so I didn't get pissed off that he was taking advantage of me.“Like seriously? Does stuff like this still exist? Come on, you can do better. That trick is outdated. I am not falling for that shit. Please show me to the guest room. I need to be up very early tomorrow,” I requested. I stood in front, waiting for him to come lead the way.“Right away my lady. As her lordship pleases,” Adrian replied as he stepped forward and led me to the guest room. The room looked spacious and attractive with paintings on the wall. It could be mistaken for a master's bedroom.“Is this where I would be spending the night, or is this some sort of mistake

OLIVIAYou're surely a master of dark art," I mumbled to myself and switched off the phone to protect my sanity. I never wanted to speak to Kate either. Speaking to her on the phone made my life more complicated than Cyril's call. With Cyril, I knew I was never getting anything positive from him. He has always been a tormentor in my life.A moment after switching off my phone, I heard someone knocking at the door. I wished it was Adrian. Hopefully, his presence would play a vital role in making me find sleep since Cyril has frustrated me enough. With confidence, I stepped forward to the door without confirming who was knocking. The only person I could think about was Adrian or perhaps, one of his domestic staff. Approaching the doorway, I met a familiar face. It was neither Adrian nor His staff. “Cyril?” I screamed. “What the fuck are you doing here? How did you get here? Who told you I was here?” I tossed a thousand questions at Cyril without getting a response. Before I could

OLIVIA“Now you're freaking me out. What is happening? Can you please say something? Your silence is eating me up, and I don't find it funny,” Adrian panicked like a ten-year-old. He was getting fed up with my silence. Where do I start explaining to Adrian? He would never understand even if I explained it to him a thousand times. He was about to come closer to me when I pushed him away. “Don't come close,” I picked up an object to scare him away. I threatened to hurt him if he didn't leave. I was slowly edging towards the exit door as though I wanted to escape. “Okay, this is getting out of hand. I am not letting you do this In my house,” Adrian raged. He brought out his phone to dial some numbers. “What are you doing?” I leaned forward and snatched the phone away from him. I checked his call log and discovered that he was calling some doctor Escobar Alejandro. “You calling a doctor? What for?” I sparked outrageously. I knew what he wanted to do, but I needed to be certain b
