It's quite important," I said to the nurse who was in the room with me.Just before that, he walked in."Hey Liam, you are here," I greeted."What is this trash I am hearing, Stella? You are pregnant?""That wasn't the deal.""What are you saying? So what would happen to my baby?" "Oh come on. You are not a child. We both know I can't accept that kid from you. It can't be mine!" Liam responded in a loud tone.He paced around. The nurse walked out gently when she noticed the unsettling atmosphere in the room.I
LIAMPffffffff!"What is wrong with this girl?""Isn't she aware I have a lot of things on my mind right now?""She can't be fainting anyhow. I am too busy for all this," I muttered as I strolled to the hospital ward.I was told to get food for her in case she woke up.The Doctor claims she will be so famished when she wakes up.I wonder what is wrong with her now.The last time was a wild stunt to get Olivia's attention.Now who knows if this is just to get me to sit down with her rather than be with Elliot?She had been suspecting I and Elliot were dealing with something secretly.I know how much she would want to be hinted about it but I made sure not to let out a word.I got to the ward and I met her wide awake, caressing her belly.What was wrong?I imagined.It dawned on me that I hadn't spoken a word since I got in.I just stood there, looking at her.The nurses seemed to be so focused on her.I wonder why that was so if it was only a slump and faint case."What is all this?""
CHAPTER 35LIAM"She gets away with everything?""That bitch?!"Nope. Not happening. I won't allow that.Until I get what I want!Is Elliot messing with me or what?We ought to be seeing results by now.The threats seem not to be working as planned.We left a note that should scare her but nothing still.Perhaps some intensity should do the job.I rang Elliot's phone that instant."What's the update?""Any good news at all?" I asked over the phone."Your wife likes good things. Despite the note, she still hung onto my brother. She is a stubborn one," Elliot complained."If she doesn't feel threatened by that note, then we need to be more specific with it. We need to disturb her peace," I replied."Meet me at the usual spot later tonight to discuss that. Remember to make sure you are not being followed," Elliot answered and ended the call."Proud ass mother fucked, meet me at the….blah blah blah!" I mimicked."If not that I need his help, I wouldn't mind doing this myself. I wouldn't n
CHAPTER 34OLIVIAI became emotional.Not in a bad way.Thinking of Andrew as I sat comfortably in the chair. No one had ever respected me this much.Or showered me with so much care.I haven't even given my body to him. Even a kiss, he hadn't gotten from me.Yet, the attraction, love, and care never for once diminished.One would think I charmed him.It surprises me also how he kept loving me and showering me with gifts.Everything I had always wanted or wished for, he made sure he got for me firsthand.Was I giving back the energy and love I am enjoying from Andrew?I pondered as I sat there.I kissed him yesterday.Right after he asked me to be his.That was the first time we would share a kiss.It was quite lovely as he placed his hands on my cheekbones and kissed me passionately in the kitchen.My thoughts made me forget I was in a serious meeting.But I snapped out of it immediately the table was set.Still at the company’s branch, and the whole team staring at me in anticipat
ANDREWI can only imagine.What she went through. All those times she was with that cruel being, LiamShe deserves a whole lot more.That’s something I already put in motion.Making her the head of the team at the main branch was just the tip of the iceberg.I had more coming in for her. Lots of surprises.“Mr. Huxley,” my P.A called out.She was right there with me in the office computing some business project details.“About the house, sir. It think I got the best you would like,” she said.“Oh great, let me see.”She showed me the picture of a luxurious duplex building in the Lowers, a small island a bit far from the city.“Beautiful. How much is this?”“$8,000,000” she responded.“Not bad. I’m buying it. Handle that and put it in her name,” I responded.“Miss Olivia?”“Yes. I am buying that house for her, Pauline.”“That’s really nice, Boss. I’m sure she would love it.”“You think?” I asked.“Oh yes, definitely!” she responded hastily.She wouldn't believe her eyes when she sees i
OLIVIAEverything became still.I was feeling heated even though the air conditioner in the room was on.It was as though I was the only one in the room.Everyone suddenly disappears.And flashes of my life’s history were playing in front of me.The room is not empty and obviously, I had gone into a trance or whatever they call this awkward feeling that looks like I exist alone in this room.I snapped. Before I knew it, I jumped back to reality.And everyone came into sight and applause invaded my ears.It just occurred to me why they were clapping. I remembered Andrew just made an announcement.“Head of the team?”“Is that a joke or something?” The voice in my head said aloud.The announcement was still a shock to me.“Is this a joke or something?” the voice in my head spoke aloud.Andrew didn’t tell me about this before I left the office. I didn’t even know what I was coming to meet.I just know I was here as a representative so it couldn’t be that bad.The echo of applause from t
CHAPTER 31Present time,OLIVIA“What a beauty!” I said in a low tone as I stood in front of the company.Another branch of the Huxley’s company.“This is beautiful,” I whispered as I marvelled at the sight of the enormous building before me.Andrew had sent me here to represent him in a meeting. Sometimes, he makes me think I am more than who I am. I had refused to come here countless times before I finally agreed to accept today.As much as I am trying to avoid the trouble and envy of the other staff, I do not regret coming here.I love what I see.Here I am, a representative of the Huxleys’ business.Me. Daughter of nobody now standing as a representative amongst the most influential men and women in the city to discuss business.“Oh God! I humbly ask for your help. Whatever happens, I don’t want to fuck up,” I said as I walked majestically and carefully into the building.I wore a black jacket suit and a royal blue skirt. By the pocket side of the jacket is a big button that was p
CHAPTER 30ANDREWOh, shoot! Mom heard what I said.“Son what did you just say?” she asked again in a low tone as I stood up to get to the stage with my brother.I saw the look on her face. It was intentional.And she was just waiting for me to talk.My brother was quick to rush to the stage. He was a huge fan of the spotlight. The first son of the Huxley family and heir to the Huxley Empire.What more do we expect?He had already climbed to the stage at the mention of his honorable name.My mom was dragging my suit, trying to get my attention stylishly but I didn't respond to her.I just walked away smiling at the people who couldn't just stop staring.The clout. The paparazzi.And yes again, the special attention!I tried as much as I could to avoid my mother's face as I stood on the stage while my father was around, shaking hands with his wealthy friend who came up to congratulate him.Another marking day for us.“Robert, you bought Xn, the same company wrecking you including us, y
CHAPTER 29ANDREWI think he saw us.If not Elliot then probably just I alone.Anyway, I got there first so I am probably the one he saw.My father.I'm certain of it.He knew we sneaked into his office last night.Did he know all these while that Elliot was stealing from him?Dad was a man of words. He sometimes speaks in parables and codes.He never says anything too direct.You just have to decipher it yourself else you will be confused trying to understand it plainly as it comes.I was scared but Elliot wasn't.I knew something I was not sure Dad wanted anyone else to know.I wanted to share what I had discovered with someone.Elliot wasn't a good option.Maybe I should tell Mother but what if she already knows and just covering up for her stinkingly wealthy husband?Just what if?I thought about it as I gently sat in one corner at the venue sipping the cocktail drink that was served.Dad walked around shaking virtually everyone at the occasion.It was like the meeting of billiona
