Oliver comes out of the kitchen with a plate of snacks for her friend, Emily. She is always happy to be around her as she is her only trusted friend, she shares everything with her and seeks her consent on matters.
"Here it is." Oliver drops it in front of her. She takes a seat beside her and crosses her leg in anticipation."Ethan has gone out not too long ago. I think he is planning something big for me for my birthday." Oliver giggles. Emily smiles at her and drags the plate of snacks close to herself"I'm glad for your birthday too. We will paint the whole town red. Have planned so many things for you." Emily says with a sinister smile."Really? Tell me about it. What's with the smile! Tell me." Oliver nudges her."If I tell you then it's no more a surprise. I will give you a surprise before your birthday." Emily tells her."You're going to surprise me before my birthday. It seems you are so eager." Oliver teases her."Eager? No. I may not get the time to pull the surprise on your birthday so I will give you a gift before then." Emily explains."I don't mind. My Grandma once told me everyday is a special day. And a week before my birthday, the whole week is my birthday. If you give me a gift right now, I will accept it as a birthday gift since you are too eager." Oliver laughs at her."I'm not." Emily whines back. "Okay, you want the gift now. I think you are the one eager to get it now. If you want the gift early then I will give it to you." Emily says back to her."Really?" Oliver exclaims. Emily raises her head up to look at her and her mouth forms into a smirk."What's with the smirk? This surprise must be so big then. I can't wait." Oliver giggles."Yea. You will get it." Emily whispers back at her. "These snacks are so good. You baked it?" She asks."You know I bake." Oliver replies to her."Yea, I know." She chuckles. "I bake too, I'm just too lazy." Emily sighs and rests back on the couch."I'm sure Ethan is planning something big. I can't wait and I can't wait to get pregnant for Ethan's baby. I will be the happiest to carry his child.`` Oliver says."Really!" Emily says to her. Oliver fails to notice the dull tone and keeps on talking."Yeah. We are married now. He's mine. I will carry his child and give him multiple sons and daughters. I will not only be his wife but the mother of his children." Oliver chuckles with her words. She can't possibly give birth to multiple children. Two or three is definitely okay for her.Emily scoffs and stands up abruptly. "Let me get a drink for us. I will be back." She announces and leaves for the kitchen.After some minutes, she comes back with drinks poured in the glass cup already. She hands over a glass to Oliver and takes the other one and sits beside her.Oliver drinks some and drops it back on the table."You are not drinking?" Emily asks with her eyebrows raised."No, I'm okay." Oliver replies to her. Emily picks up her glass of cup and raises it towards her."Take and drink it. You can't possibly tell me you will leave it half." Emily forces the cup on her and Oliver takes it from her."Cheers." She giggles and hits it with hers. Oliver smiles at her childish behavior and gulps down the wine at once."It's good, right." She asks as she drops the glass on the table."Yes, it is." She whispers back at her. Oliver's voice goes weak and she stumbles backward. She shakes her head to rub the sleepiness from her eyes."I will be in the room. I don't feel too good." She murmurs. Her voice is too weak to say a thing. She rubs her forehead and her breath becomes heavy. She stands up and her feet are wobbly."Are you sure you are okay? Get into the room to take some rest. I will soon take my leave." Emily says worriedly."I…" Oliver is about to say when her phone drops from her hand. She stumbles and falls on the ground with a thud. She feels numb, not able to move her hands and legs and whole body. What is this? What is happening to her? Is she about to die? Is she dying? So many questions run through her mind as her eyes start closing. Her eyes cannot withstand the light coming into the room and forces itself to close.Is she about to die? Oh Lord, forgive her sins and accept her in heaven! Amen! Oliver makes a quick prayer and is forced into a deep slumber. One she might not come back from.Pains! Her body is in pain and she doesn't feel free. Oliver taps back Into consciousness and forces her eyes open. She shuts it back and groans in pain. Her eyes! It hurts!She tries opening it again and blinks her eyes severally before adjusting to it.Where is she? Oliver glances around the dimly lit room which she finds unfamiliar. She tries moving but feels tight to herself.Oliver looks down at her body and sees herself tie all over. She is tied into a chair. Was she kidnapped? What happened after she fainted? Where is Emily? Hope she isn't hurt? Oliver is worried and looks around at the not so familiar place. She tried cutting free but the ropes were too strong. As she forcefully moves, she groans in pain. The pains she's feeling around her body, maybe were due to the impact of how she fell on the ground. Her body hurts so much."Who is here?" Oliver gathers up the courage and says aloud. Whoever it is that kidnapped her should come out and let's resolve it immediately. She has no money or expensive jewelry for them to rob so it will be better if they let her go because it was of no use."I see you are awake." Someone replies to her from the edge of the room which is so dim except for the person who comes into the bright side. The voice, it sounds familiar."Show your face." Oliver says hoping that the familiar voice doesn't match with the familiar face. She can recognize that voice from anywhere. If we can have 7 look alike in the world then we can definitely have 7 voices alike in the world. Her heels hit the ground making the sophisticated noise as she walked closer to Oliver.Oliver gulps down nothing and anticipates whoever it was. She just hopes they release her when they find her worthless and hopes they wouldn't be too harsh on her.The light shines on her and Oliver can see her abductee clearly. Her words are stuck in her mouth as she glances at her with her mouth agape. But what she doesn't know is there's more to come that she doesn't know about."Emily!" Oliver whispers with a confused expression. Now, thinking about it, everything starts becoming clear to her. Some things she never noticed, she started noticing it. The drink and she fainted! Was it her? But why? Why Emily? Didn't she take her as friends just like she took her? She hears another footsteps coming behind her. Who will that be? Her Ally! The one who will torture her and do most of the dirty work for her.The man stands beside Emily with a smirk on his face. "We should get this done with." He says and laughs with Emily."Ethan! Ethan, what is Happening?" Oliver asks, confused about the whole thing."You still don't get it. You're too slow." Emily scoffs at her. Oliver struggles on the chair but the pain that is hogging all over her body makes her stop. "Well, what do I expect? You trusted us too much. You trust too much Oliver." She says to her.Oliver calms herself down and stares deeply at them. Is this a prank or what? Or a dream? Tears are building up in her
"Arghhhh." Oliver keeps screaming as tears fall endlessly from her eyes. This is the end! She had thought she would die when she fainted after drinking the wine. It will have been better to die that way than this. Getting burnt alive. Oliver can see the fire coming close to her and surrounding her. The heat! The heat is too much and is making an effect on her skin already. What about if it comes closer to her and burns her, the pain she will feel will be more than this."Arghhhh!! Noo!!!" Oliver screams out loud. Where is she? Why can't anybody hear her out? Oliver wishes a miracle can just happen and she should be saved from here. But she feels it's impossible. Emily makes it clear earlier that they are in a deserted area.Oliver hears someone running over and glances towards the direction. Are they back for her? Did Ethan change his mind? Is he here to save her? Has he regretted his mistake? Are they here for her? Or did someone finally hear her Plea? Did someone finally hear her sc
Oliver walks out of the bathroom to the ward where Emily is waiting for her. She has washed her face and clears any streaks of obvious tears on her face. Emily mustn't suspect a thing. Oliver feels she should be more careful with her since she knows the truth. The real her! Emily stands beside her bed with a concerned look. She looks worried and concerned for her. Oliver begins to wonder if she's been harboring hate for her now or it started later. Because if she hated her, the worried look she is pulling now is too convincing to be true."Are you sure you are okay Oliver? You've been acting weird." She says holding her by her shoulders tightly."I am. I am okay." Oliver replies and walks over to her bed. She sits on it while Emily sits beside her."Ethan has been so worried about you. I should inform him that you are awake." Emily says and brings out her phone. Oliver scoffs silently and rolls her eyes at her."No, don't. I'm okay now." She stops her by waving her hands down."Yes, I
"You are done." Alex looks up at her and says to her. He drops his laptop and stands up, stretching himself. Looking at him now, Oliver can't help but admire his perfectly aligned toned body. His body is well built."Yes, I am." Oliver says back to him, blushing slightly. "Stop talking like I spent so much time in there." She says and walks over to the bed."You did." Alex replies.. “The divorce letter is still at the table there. You can still sign it if you want to. You don’t have to pity me and stay all because of that.” Alex said with a cold face.“Where is the letter?” She asked him.Alex felt his heat hurt when he heard this. At least she is not pretending to want to be with me. It is okay to set her free. He does not want her to hurt herself just because he forced her to stay with him. He wants her to be happy, he sighed even though he was hurting he still had a cold face. He pointed at the table beside the bed.He closed his eyes as he watched her walked towards the divorce l
"Your seat belt ma'am." Alex says to her."Oh, thanks for reminding me of that." She inserts the seat belt and looks over at Alex who was staring at her. They both burst into a fit of laughter. "Stop, that role doesn't fit you ." Oliver says playfully. To be sincere, it does. He was treating her like a rich independent lady while Alex is her driver.Stop thinking about the past Oliver. You are here to make things right."It does fit you. The status fits you." He says to her as he ignites the car. They were going for the date she had told him to take her on."When did the dream start?" He asks after a few minutes of silence. She had woken up in the middle of the night screaming and kept on murmuring that she's feeling hot. It was the fire. The way she died five years from now. She dreamt about it last night and left her in terror. What was she expecting? Was she really expecting that the memory would hunt her? That was a painful experience."I'm sorry if I disturbed you in the middle o
Alex drives into his garage and Oliver catches two people standing in front of their gate. When Alex drives in, they walk inside following his car. It is Ethan and Emily. What are they doing here? Fake concern! She doesn't want their fake concern."Your friends are here." Alex slowly says and opens the door. Oliver walks down and moves closer to them."Hey. What did you do to her? Why isn't she picking her calls? Did you hurt her?" Ethan screams at him. He walks closer to Oliver. "Did he hurt you dear?" He asks, placing his hands on her shoulder.Oliver shifts away from him and removes his hands from her body. Jerk!"No, he didn't do anything to me. We went out on a date. Why will he hurt me? He is my husband." Oliver replies to her. Ethan stays shocked and looks at her with a frown. He keeps his hands beside him and turns back to Alex who had a sinister smile on his lips."I told you she was acting strange." Emily finally speaks out and makes her way to Oliver."I told you if you hur
"Ahh, the phone." Oliver turns it on and sees several missed calls on it."Yes, your friends have called you and Ethan." One could notice the name rolling off his tongue with difficulty. It's more like they've been rivals for a long time."I didn't want to be disturbed by their call on our date." Oliver answers straightforwardly. Alex is amazed at her reply and wonders what really changed her."But you really are fond of your friends. What changed?" Alex asks and dips his hands into his pocket."My perspective. My thoughts. Everything. I like myself better now. I want to act according to my thoughts and not give a damn about theirs. I'm ready to give us a chance." She chuckles and heads upstairs, leaving him more amazed.Why won't she like herself better now that she just escaped death? She can't possibly tell Alex about her dying in the fire and coming back in time. He would think she was mad. He will think she hit her head on the ground somewhere and that it affected her brain. Or h
The receptionist scoffed when she saw this; she obviously did not believe that she would be able to walk away. Suddenly her phone rang. She rushed and answered the call because it was the company’s phone, not her personal phone.She put the phone on her ear."Hello … Oh yes sir... Yes, sir, I will allow her in now," She said respectfully.The receptionist put the phone back and looked at Olivia; her eyes were filled with respect now. "Miss, you can go in now. You did not tell me that you are so special; I will have to allow you to have a seat when you come in. I am sorry." She hastily apologized politely; she was almost bowing her head.Olivia waved her head at her to let her know that she was not mad at all. In fact, she felt very happy with her instead since she could keep any ladies who tried to seduce Alex away by saying, "It is alright. It is your job; I understand," Olivia said.The receptionist heaved a sigh of relief and smiled gratefully, saying, "You are so magnanimous and n
