Thirty One

OLIVIA I stepped outside to join Adrian and Kate. As I walked towards them, I felt my heart bleeding inside of me. I lost a part of me that can never be regained anymore. I just wanted the ground to swallow me up and end my mysteries. I lost my confidence. I hurriedly diverted into an isolated corner a few miles away from them. I couldn't summon the courage to go explain to them what happened, especially Adrian. He won't hesitate to remind me that I deserve a better man like him. Slowly, I peeped at them and noticed they weren't looking in my direction. I read their lips. They weren't speaking to each other either. The situation must have been so overwhelming that they could not even utter a word. “Olivia, you can do this. Don't subject yourself to suffering.” I assured myself with words of encouragement. I had no idea what I was talking about, but I was hoping it would be helpful. I needed all the motivation I could get. I sighed and did a cross sign before stepping outside. I

OLIVIA “Why are you so bothered about me now? I thought you asked me to leave and never return. That I would gladly do,” he said and made attempts to walk out on me. “Adrian? Don't you dare walk away from me?” I stopped him and went to meet him."So what now? Do you want to start another fight with me? Are you being paid to be a nerd? Aren't you tired of throwing tantrums? Grow up already and stop acting like a child,” he made a travesty of me. His taunts punctured my head and got on my last nerves.“I'm afraid, this child won't let you leave until you tell her what she wants to hear,” I pulled him back. I took out my phone and started dialing a number.“What the fuck are you doing? I just hope it's not what I'm thinking right now?” Adrian tried snatching the phone away from me, but I was quicker than him. I quickly edged backward to prevent him from snatching the phone away from me. Finally, the person I called answered the phone. I had to put the conversation on the speaker to g

Thirty Three

OLIVIA Adrian dwelled extensively. He appears to have made a brilliant suggestion. Adrian might as well turn out to be useful eventually. I shouldn't have written him off too early.“Hold on a second, let me think about this,” I placed my hands below my jawline to deliberate on what he had just told me. “Stay right here you two.I'll be back,” I implored them and went away. They kept asking where I was going. I ignored them. I was only focused on arriving at Doctor Escobar's office. I needed his help to fetch Rene's home address from Cyril. It would be very risky going to Cyril's ward alone since he thinks I'm his assistant.Luckily for me, I met Doctor Escobar at the reception.“Olivia, what are you still doing here?” He quizzed me. He was shocked to still see me hanging around the hospital. He thought I had left already. “I need your help,” I pleaded with him while struggling to breathe. "You might want to calm down and speak to me. Why don't we discuss this in my office?” He pr

OLIVIA As we drove to Rene's apartment, I thought of ways to convince her to come help Cyril restore his memory. It was a massive risk I was willing to take.If I had another chance to decide, I wouldn't have opted to go this far just to get Cyril back on his feet again. He doesn't deserve me, and I'm certain that he would have abandoned me in the hospital if I was In his situation. I saw how he neglected me back then in this hospital as though I never existed. I still haven't gotten over the trauma. It wasn't enough for him to neglect me; he still had the guts to choose Cyril over me.Thinking about the unfortunate incident only increased my hate for him. “Are you okay, Olivia? If you need someone to talk to, I'm here.” Adrian volunteered. He exhibited the benevolent traits that got me laid. “Why would you ask such a baseless question? Don't I look okay to you? Are you insinuating that I'm lost? If I need someone to speak to, it's not you. The last time I leaned on your shoulder,

OLIVIA “Kate, what about you? Are you backing out too? You haven't made your decision yet.” I asked Kate even though I knew what her response would be. I just needed to be certain if I would be approaching the situation alone. “Am I supposed to answer that question? Of course, you know my response,” Kate smirked. It wasn't the kind of response I had expected from her. “Are you going to pull that stunt on me? I wasn't even asking for too much. Just answer the damn question and stop beating around the bush like a headless chicken. A straight response is all I ask from you. I'm going to do this for the last time, Kate. Are you on my side, or are you just going to walk away like Adrian?” I yelled at her. “I'm in, ma'am. You know I got your back anytime. Where do we begin?” Kate finally responded. “And who said I walked away? Are you seriously making decisions for me now?” Adrian cuts in just as I am about to relay the plan to Kate. I looked behind, hoping to find the person that Ad

OLIVIA “There she is,” Kate pointed at someone who was visible to her sight only “Who? I can't find anyone,” I strained my eyes just to have a glimpse of whom Kate was referring to. “Rene of course. There she is. She finally stepped outside. As we speak, she and Adrian are having a conversation,” Kate explained further. For the second time, she has proven to be more capable than me. I never imagined that a time like this would come where I would be so dependent on Kate. “It worked. The plan was effective. They're about to go inside. Should we step in immediately or still wait to observe?” Kate asked me. Coming from someone I depend on, we might as well stay clueless forever. “You tell meYou are the boss here.What do you think?” I returned the question to Kate and gave her another opportunity to showcase her brilliance. “Are you sure about this? I have a bad feeling about this. I don't want to mess things up,” Kate was reluctant. I completely understood her reaction. Situatio

Thirty Seven

OLIVIA I'm having a hard time adjusting to the earth. It's rather unfortunate that my life was fading away like the evening sun and I can't even do anything about it. “I'm waiting for your response, Adrian. I don't enjoy being kept in suspense for too long and that's precisely what you're doing to me right now,” Rene fumed. Her voice got louder by the minute. “Yes, I do know them. Olivia is Cyril's husband while the lady standing next to her is Kate, Olivia's assistant,” Adrian briefly explained.“Are you kidding me?” Rene charged up, ready to unleash her rocket of frustration at Adrian. “Before you get mad at me, I need to quickly clarify this. I wasn't aware that Kate nor her Boss were going to visit you today. You have got to believe me,” Adrian responded and vindicated himself immediately before Rene could attack him. I didn't know how I was going to react to his confession. I would have preferred he lied instead. He now puts me in a difficult situation where I need to start

Thirty Eight

OLIVIAI felt my complete self again the moment we arrived at the hospital to finalize the agreement.I considered my mission accomplished, even though Cyril hadn't regained his lost memory. The only issue I had was convincing Rene to do this with me. Since that has been settled, it equally means the majority of my worries are over. “Wait! Don't go yet,” Rene halted us the moment we were about to go inside the hospital. I wasn't sure why she had to do that. Stopping our movement scared me. I had a bad feeling that Rene was about to start another heated moment that may be more difficult than the previous one. “Why did you stop us? We are just a few steps ahead from entering inside to visit Cyril?” I protested. I turned out to be the only one who could question Rene's action while Kate and Adrian both stood there with their lips sealed.“What would be my reward for doing this? We need to reach an agreement on that.” Rene made the audacious demand that swept me off my feet.“Reward

Thirty Nine

OLIVIA “What's going on here? What have you been discussing in my absence?” Rene focused her gaze on me. She made me develop a guilty conscience even without committing any crime.“I honestly don't know. Perhaps, you should ask him. He's in a better position to explain what he's talking about,” I replied and stylishly exempted myself from their drama.“Can we see Cyril now? I'm pretty sure he would be waiting to see Rene,” Kate suggested.“Not until the Doctor tells me what I want to know,” Rene insisted. She was becoming too demanding for every second that went by, hence making it difficult for me to caution her due to what was at stake. “It's nothing for you to worry about. I saw you being wheeled outside by a nurse. Although it was Dark, I was still able to recognize you,” Doctor Escobar explained and opened the can of worms. It was a terrible night. I wished it would be forgotten for eternity. Now I'm going to deal with the fresh memory again.“I remember now. Take me to Cyril'

OLIVIA It's just 6 pm, and my eyes have been seeing a lot lately. I can't predict what's going to happen in the next few minutes. One minute, I was close to helping Cyril regain his lost memory and save my marriage. The next minute, I am on the verge of losing my marriage by inviting a demon in the person of René. I thought inviting her over was doing the right thing. I guess I was wrong. As long as René lived, she would continue to be a threat to my existence. “You have been relieved from your duty as my secretary. I never want to see your ugly face anymore. I would find your replacement immediately,” the words from Cyril still echo in my eardrums, reminding me that my days are numbered. It was almost an hour when he said that, and it still hit differently. “If Cyril kicks me out of the company, it equally means that he is going to appoint Rene as the next CEO, wouldn't he? He adores René and would be willing to do anything just to please her.” I pondered on my thoughts since th
