As early as possible on Wednesday morning which was the next day, Jaime drove back to Olivia Grimes apartment. He knocked for almost twenty minutes before he decided to forcefully open the door
"Olivia" he called as he walked inside the house but stopped on his track and swore. Olivia Grimes had packed out of the apartment in the middle of the night. He brought out his phone and dialled Lucian Henry's number"Good morning sir" Lucian said"She is gone""What...who is gone?""The lady. Olivia Grimes, she is gone. I want you to find out where she is within twenty four hours""But...""Don't give me any excuse""Okay sir"Jaime hung up the phone and checked the whole house before he left for his office.*Eight years agoDermot instantly ran to his locker when the school was over because he knew that Jeremy and his friends don't make empty threat."Look who is here" someone snickered behind him. It was Jeremy and Dermot kJaime swore and squeezed a paper between his hand angrily before throwing it inside the bin that was by his side.He picked up his phone and checked it for any message or call from Lucian Henry but there was none.As he was putting down his phone, his office door opened and Laura Davilla stepped in"Hey babe" she said with her beautiful smile on her face "How are you?""Good. You?""I'm good too"Laura put her bag on his table before sitting down on it."You look cute" she complimented"You too""Babe, what is going on?""What is going on. I don't understand your question""You've not been picking up your phone since that night""Oh that. I've been working my ass off in the office""To the extent that you can't even spare me a second""I'm sorry""It's okay but you can share your problems with me. I can see that something is bothering you" she drew him closer to her and untied his tie "I'm your fiancee and I
Olivia Grimes headed out of the room with the knife in her hand"Who is there?" She asked"Livia, it's me. Open the door" Jaime replied"Go away""Not until you open the door""I'm going to call the police on you""Please open the door, I'm freezing"Olivia angrily opened the door because she knew that he wouldn't leave"Hey Livia" Jaime said"Don't you ever call me that again. I don't know you"Jaime sighed and looked into Olivia's green eyes but the light in them were gone. The only things that he could see through her eyes were anger and hatred"Livia""Get out of my house and leave me the fuck alone" she said and pointed the knife at him "The next time you show up at my door, I'm going to carve you out"Kylie who had been listening to their conversation but had no idea what was going on ran out of the room with her pen in her hand"Mom, is the bad man not leaving?" She asked as she joined her mother in the sit
"Mummy" Kylie Grimes called "Someone is at our door again""Who?" Olivia asked sleepily"Should I go and check out who?" Kylie asked as she was getting out of their bed"No" Olivia said and Kylie stopped on her track "Let me do it"Olivia got out of the bed and headed to the door while Kylie followed her"Who is there?" Olivia asked"Lucian Henry from Scott and co" Lucian Henry repliedOlivia's opened the door and saw the handsome, young man that was standing in front of their door"How may I help you" Olivia asked"I'm here to see Olivia Grimes" Lucian said with his best smileOlivia frowned and wondered what was going on"That is me. How may I help you?"Lucian showed her his ID card and said "I'm Lucian Henry from Scott and co. I'm Mr Scott's personal assistant"Olivia nodded in understanding "What do you want?""Earlier this morning, Mr Scott gave me an order to move you out of this apartment into a new one"
Kylie ran out of the limousine as soon as the door was opened and screamed "WOW! MOM THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! I DON'T EVER WANT TO LEAVE HERE!" she ran to where Jaime was now standing and reached out for his hands while looking up at his face "Can we stay here forever?"Jaime smiled and said "Of course""Kylie" Olivia warned"Mom please""I'm sorry for telling you this but we will just stay here for a short time. I don't want to make a promise that I won't be able to fulfill" Olivia saidThey walked into the house and Jaime toured them around"I will be back later in the evening" Jaime said after touring them around the house"You don't have to" Olivia said without looking at his face"Olivia" Jaime called hurtfully"Around what time?" Kylie asked and broke the silence that was in the room"Around ten Kylie" Jaime replied with a smile"And what is your name Mr handsome?" Kylie asked"Mr handsome? You're a funny kid. I'm Jaime Sco
Jaime Scott left his office around quarter to ten that night and headed straight to Olivia's house. When he got to the house, he parked his car and picked up a big bag that was inside the car and headed into the house. He knocked on the door for two minutes before it was opened by Olivia Grimes who was holding a bottle of half drank beer"Why are you here? I told you that you don't have to" Olivia said while blocking Jaime from entering the house"Livia let me in""I won't unless you tell me the reason why you're here""I'm here to talk to you""I have nothing to say to you" Olivia said despitefully"I'm freezing""After tonight, I don't want to see you here again" Olivia said and allowed him to enterJaime dropped the big bag on a couch and said "This is for Kylie schooling. Everything she needs is there""She is not your responsibility""I'm trying to help you ""I'm not asking you to""But I want to. You're my friend"
After dropping off Kylie, he headed to his office. After attending all his meetings, Jaime started heading back to his office with his secretary, Rosita McCarthy"You look happy" Rosita said"Is it that obvious?" Jaime asked"Yes. What are you so happy about?"Jaime smiled and said "it's personal""Laura called during your last meeting. She wanted to know where you are""What did you tell her?""I told her that you're busy. That you're in a meeting""Okay. The next time she call let me know""Okay"Around quarter to three in the afternoon, Jaime left his office and drove to Kylie's new school"Your dad?" Mary McCoy, Kylie's new friend who was also waiting for her parent asked when Jaime got out of the car"No" Kylie replied"Kylie!" Jaime smiled"Hey Jaime!" Kylie said and jumped into Jaime arms"How was school?""It was great" Kylie got out of Jaime arms and pointed at Mary "Jaime meet my fr
When Jaime got to his house, Laura was already waiting for him there."Laura" he said reluctantly when he saw her"I've been waiting for you. Mom called. She said she saw you with a little girl that belongs to one of your friends""That's true"Laura walked slowly to where Jaime was seated and said "I know all your friends but I'm not aware that one of them have a daughter""The person is an old friend"Laura sat beside him and put her head on his tigh before replying "okay. I've been here for hours. I prepared your favorite food""Okay. I will go in first and shower""Okay I will be waiting for you"Jaime got up and headed to his room. He joined Laura ten minutes later and they started eating"Thank you for the food""It's my responsibility" Laura smiled seductively "Dad also called""About the wedding date?""Yes. He said we should have come to an agreement by now"Jaime sighed "and what did you tell him?"
On Friday night, after tossing and turning for hours on his bed, Jaime Scott made up his mind, got out of his bed, picked his car key and headed to his garage. He drove to Olivia's houseHe was happy when he saw the sitting room light on but he knocked on the door for almost five minutes without a response. He unlocked the door with his own personal key and stepped inside the living room"Livia" he said and Olivia looked up from the book that she was reading. After sending Jaime away with the novel that he had bought for her some hours ago, Olivia had went back to her room and searched her luggages for the book she had once buried deep inside one of her boxes. It was her favorite novel and when she finally found it, she couldn't stop the tears that were rushing down her cheeks. The last time she opened that book was about eight years ago. Before the love of her life died.She touched the book cover softly and read the author's name out loud - Ann Radcliff. She w
