Bryan joined Olivia in the room almost immediately. He had stood by the corner, observing everything. He sees how much she didn't like it and he didn't like it as well."Why are you here Bryan? Shouldn't you be downstairs with your mom and Dad?" She asked, surprised to see him in her room." Why are you here ma'am? shouldn't you be downstairs with Dad? He asked and Olivia chuckled before saying."Well, I don't belong there it's only best of I stay here. I don't want to be a bother to anyone"Bryan smiled.. " Me too Ma'am. I don't belong there and I don't want to be a bother"Olivia chuckled and ruffled his hair playfully."But you don't look happy ma'am. You really do not like what's going on right? You wish you can stop it don't you?"Olivia only stared at him without saying a word. I mean, what would a six years old boy possibly understand. He could be smart and all that but this is adult business. "Can I say something ma'am?" Bryan said, breaking into her thoughts." Of course, go
Throughout the night, Maynard did not sleep a wink . He kept thinking about the wedding and finally it's today. In few hours, he'd be tieing the knot with Evelyn.He turned away from the mirror after dressing up and in that instant, Olivia walked in. He quickly rushed to her and hugged her."Please don't make me emotional than I already am Maynard?!" She pushed him away slightly, trying to fight back her tears." Come with me Olivia. Let's just run far away, that way, I won't have to get married to Evelyn and you won't have to be sad either"." Oh my! Why didn't we think about that earlier!? Let's run away " Olivia said cheerfully and Maynard was super ready to do so. He turned and was about to move to the wardrobe but Olivia caught his arm right on time."We should run far away and then what? So Evelyn can create more scandal against us? Don't be a coward Maynard because you're not. I am not going to support you in whatever plans you have. Let's just get this wedding over and done wi
Maynard drove crazily through the traffic and he soon arrived at the hospital."Emergency!!". he screamed as he got out of the car immediately.Some nurses hurried over with a stretcher and Maynard placed Bryan on it carefully.They took him into the hospital and the doctor began to attend to him immediately."What is his name and what happened to him?". the doctor asked."His name is Bryan. He fell down the stairs by accident". Maynard explained."Ok". the doctor replied as they wheeled him into a room.Olivia was too shocked to say anything anymore so she just sat down quietly waiting while maynard paced around worriedly.Evelyn was very annoyed that the wedding was cancelled again. She wasn't particularly happy that the wedding will be on hold because of the brat.Just when she was this close to success that little brat had to pull such a foolish stunt and slip off the stairs."Why is it taking so damn long?" . I hope he is okay" Olivia said worriedly"I am sure he will be fine, le
The doctor came out the room unaware of everything that just transpired and Maynard and Olivia bought rushed forward."How is he doctor?". Olivia asked worriedly."He is fine and he will wake up soon ". the doctor said with a smile."That's good". Maynard said as holding into Evelyn's hands tightly so that she won't escape.At that moment, the police came and Evelyn was arrested instantly after much struggling. while she was having her fights with Maynard, Olivia had secretly called in the police. What Evelyn did is unimaginable and she should be punished."Maynard, you can't do this to me. I told you the whole truth. Tell them to let me go please. Tell them we're about to get married". Evelyn pleaded but got no reply from neither Maynard nor Olivia and the the police took her away.Maynard came to sit next to Olivia."Are you feeling okay? or do you need to visit the doctor?". maynard asked worriedly."No, am fine". Olivia replied."But you look a bit pale..""I am fine maynard, do
EPILOGUE. Months later, Olivia struggled to keep her eyes open, she could see the smiling faces but they were blurry.She tried again and she could finally see them clearly. Maynard, Bryan, Sage.. everyone was present."Olivia! you are awake!". they said in unison and she gave them a tired smile.Maynard came and sat beside her."How are you feeling?". he asked."Am very tired". Olivia replied." I guess we both won the bet". Maynard said happily."Really?". Olivia asked."Yes, it's a boy and a girl". Maynard replied and Olivia smiled faintly, turning her head to the baby cradle right beside her bed. Her babies were fast asleep and right beside them was Bryan piercing gaze."He's been that way ever since. He hasn't stopped staring at them."With permission, can I be the babies' godfather?". Sage asked faking a British accent."Of course, my good man ". Olivia replied with the accent as well although her voice was hoarse."Congratulations mummy". Bryan said happily, finally tearing hi
CHAPTER ONE"You're so amazing baby!"Olivia moves uncomfortably on the bed, curling herself up but careful not to make any noise.The conversation Maynard is having keeps breaking her heart and she wishes there was a way to stop him from doing so.Over thirty minutes, she has been awake, listening to the phone call her husband was making.Not like it's the first time, on several occasions... Maynard was seen with a lady whose face Olivia has never gotten to see. A night, she saw Maynard going into an hotel with hands wrapped firmly around a lady.Olivia could not see the lady's face since she could only have a glimpse of their back view.It's not the typical her to just storm into the hotel, pull the lady by her hair and curse her never to get close to her husband. Olivia remained calm nonetheless. "...I can't wait to see you! Can't wait to get massaged by you.."Olivia takes her lower lips in and bites on it hard as it wounds her deeply to watch Maynard flirt with another woman rig

CHAPTER THREETwo days later, Maynard already signed the divorce papers and had it sent back to Olivia, who was really quite distress over the incidence and out of anger, had her identity changed. She no longer wants to have anything of Maynard with her. She wants him out of her life completely... For good!. She did not think that Maynard would sign the divorce papers she left. Maybe she hoped for something else, like he'd look for her and ask her to come back. She was wrong, her sister was right.. Maynard is a completely different man now.Not the man she got married to, but the man who threw his marriage away just to get back with his ex girlfriend. These two days, Olivia hasn't been herself..
