Chapter Ninety-fourClaiming HerOliviaI looked back at Sebastian who seemed to be waiting to hear what I had to say to Edie after his proposal. I honestly didn’t see it coming, I believed Edie would want to go with someone else, he would at least have someone he likes in the company and would want to go with her, and I wasn’t sure if Sebastian would ask me to come with him so I thought it was just going to be alone and no one would take me with them.As soon as Edie asked me, I wanted to tell him yes immediately because I didn’t want him to change his mind and at the end or it all, I would have to go alone, so I just wanted to tell him yes, but I couldn’t do that with Sebastian being there. I turned to look at him again and he was still waiting there to see what I would say, and I didn’t want him to hear it.So, I just moved closer to Edie and whispered in his ears. “I would really love to come with you, but just give me few days to think about it. Is that okay?” I asked, hoping he
Chapter Ninety-fiveThe Thanksgiving Dinner 1OliviaI had been waiting for days to see if he would eventually ask me to be his date to the thanksgiving, I wanted to know if he would have a change of mind and tell me to come with him, but he didn’t.I couldn’t tell Edie that I would be going with him because I was waiting for Sebastian to say something, I was waiting for him to ask me that question, but he didn’t, and now I didn’t know what else to do.As I stood in front of the mirror to adjust the gown I was wearing, he came there too and stood beside me, adjusting his tie in the mirror.“I need to look my best tonight.” He murmured to himself and I could see the excitement on his face.He clearly said to me that day that I was his and his alone and no one had the right to touch or do anything with me, but he wasn’t even paying any attention to me. I had no other choice than to go with Edie, no matter what Sebastian would say, I really didn’t care about it anymore.I looked at myse
Chapter Ninety-sixThe Thanksgiving Dinner 2OliviaI didn’t know what he was up to and why he did what, why did he have to pull us apart? Was he maybe jealous like I wanted him to be? Could it be that he was already regretting the decision he made to go with someone else instead of me.A faint smile fell on my face, I wondered if that was the case, I would be really glad if that was it.“Is there a problem, sir?” Edie asked. “I mean I am going in with my date, why did you have to pull us apart?” He went on.I loved the day Edie was speaking up, it would make him more jealous and make my plan work.He cleared his throat. “I do not have a business with you, Olivia is the one I want to speak to.” He stated.“I do not think that I havw anything to say to you.” I replied briskly and took Edie’s hand again, locking mine up with his. “I just want to go in there with my date and enjoy the night with no worries, please don’t disturb me.” Whether I was saying the right thing or not, I really d
Chapter Ninety-sevenA Wife?Olivia“Shall we welcome on stage the best team leader of the year, Edie Williams!”A loud cheer and clap erupted as Edie walked to the stage, with a big smile on his face. It was already time for the awards and I had heard that he had won several awards in the past, I was happy for him for winning this award too, but what happened before crowded my mind.I couldn’t tell what Sebastian was trying to proof by holding Liz’s hand and walking out with her, he wasn’t even bothered about me, if I was hurt or not.With the way Liz handled me, the way she pulled my hair like she was going to pull it out of my scalp, I could have fallen and eventually lose my baby, that could have happened to me but I wondered if Sebastian would still care if this happened.He only clarified and proved all Liz whispered to me, he proved that I was nothing to her and she was the only one he felt calm with. Sebastian would find it difficult to hold my hand, he would always have one e
Chapter Ninety-eightFever OliviaI didn’t have it easy through the night, my head kept banging and my heart didn’t stop raising, my whole body burned and I thought it was because of what happened, that it was because I was in pain and was still finding it difficult to get over what happened back there, but I was wrong. I had fever.I shook under the duvet and my eyes went to the wall clock in the room, it was early in the morning already and I couldn’t wait to go to the hospital to get myself checked up because it felt as if my whole body was going to explode if I didn’t do something about this fever.My lips felt dry and bitter whenever I tried to wet it, I could feel my own hot breath against my body, and my hotness of my body emanated from the duvet that was covering me.Even when the room heater was on, it still didn’t do much, I was still cold and my whole body could boil a water as it was very hot.Edie had turned on the room heater the night before as we got home as he could
Chapter Ninety-nineThe Confrontation Olivia I stood right in front of him, my heart racing with intensity, I wasn’t sure of what to say to him, I wasn’t sure of the answer to give him if he asks me questions.Looking at his fierce and contorted eyes made my legs shook and I immediately hang my head, I couldn’t keep looking his eyes, it made me want to beg the earth to open up and take me in for some minutes.“Olivia.” His voice came at me again, and if sounded so close, different from before.My heart continued to pound in my chest, that I could even hear the sound, my head banged and it felt so heavy that I thought it could explode, what do I say to him?No matter what he does or asks me, I vowed silently that I would never tell him about the baby, I would keep that a secret from him till my last breath, I had to protect my baby from him because I wouldn’t be able to deal with it if he takes my baby away from me.“Look up, Olivia.” He stated, but I couldn’t look up, I couldn’t say
Chapter HundredI Love YouSebastian“Because? Why do you think I should forgive you?” She asked.“Because..because.” I stopped and sighed, it was finally the time to tell her how I felt, I wouldn’t be able to cope with losing her, I wouldn’t be able to beat the guilt. “Because I love you.” I finally said and pulled her closer to myself. “I love you so much Olivia that it has become very hard for me to get the thoughts of you off my mind.”“Then why did you treat me that way,” she continued to cry, and it broke my heart so much to see her in that condition. “Why did you make me go through so much pain and torture? You didn’t care about me or how I feel, you clearly told me that I had no place in your life or home, and now you claim to love me? How do I believe you?”“I would say I do not need you to believe me, but what I want you to know is that I am telling the truth, and I really do love you.” I murmured and pulled her closer.If I was in her shoes, I wouldn’t believe it too, I wou
Chapter Hundred-and-oneA New WaveOliviaThe crooking of the morning birds and the morning sun shining on my face woke me up.My whole body felt warm from the aftermath of our lovemaking, I moved my hands around the bed, hoping to come in contact with Sebastian’s body, but he wasn’t there. I opened my eyes widely and sat up from the bed, covering my naked body with the duvet. I felt so light and excited, unlike other days.All that happened the night before raced through my mind, his words echoed in my ears, that he loved me and he wanted to be with me.I screamed silently and covered my face with my palm, my cheeks burned from blushing, I really didn’t imagine that a day like this would come. I didn’t know that I would ever be loved by him, that he would ever give me a space in his life.I stood up from the bed, still covering myself with the duvet and dragging it with me. I walked to the small corridor and looked out into the heavens, everything felt so different, every singe thin
