Chapter Forty-eightThe ConnectionOliviaI stared at him, waiting for an answer with my racing heart, what would he say? Would he deny me just like he did then? Would he deny the relationship between us?Even though he didn’t mean all that was happening between us, I was still legally married to him, I was his wife, he shouldn’t be denying me in the presence of outsiders.He cleared his throat and shook his head, “I do not have an answer for your question,” he stated and walked away, leaving the lady and I all alone.The lady moved closer to me and laughed, “can you see? I’m sure you can see for yourself that you mean nothing to that man, why did he have to leave without saying a word? You should know he is not proud of the situation-ship he is in with you.” She said and turned away.She had already gotten to the door before she stopped snd turned back to me, “for your information, that man is mine, and there is no way to take him from me. Have a nice day.” She added and left.A nice
Chapter FiftyA Brief Moment Olivia“W..what do you mean?” I stuttered.I understood what he meant, and what he wanted, but I wasn’t sure of the reason I wanted him to say it, to be straight with his words.“You know what I mean, Olivia.” He murmured, his hand grabbing mine as he pulled the sash of the robe from my hands. “You know what I want.” He continued.I shook my head, still wanting him to come straight and tell me the exact thing he wanted. Even though he tells me what he want, would I allow him? Would I give him the chance to? Even after what I saw earlier that day? Was I supposed to let him have his way with me?But do I really have a choice? Even if I wanted to turn him down, do I have the courage to do that? His touch, his smell, his presence, everything clouded my mind that I was unable to move or say any more word.I could only watch as he pulled the sash down my shoulders, a seductive grin on his face as he completely pulled it down my body, making me step out of it.I
Chapter FiftyThe Morning SexOliviaI woke up the next morning, turning to the other side of the bed to find no one. The kids didn’t come home last night, and Sebastian’s parents sent one of the palace guards to tell us that they agreed to spend the night with them. Sebastian took over again, claiming my body as his and moving inside of me like he belonged there.I remembered how he came into me, filling me completely, how his thrusts threw away all contrary thoughts in my head and made me focus fully on the moment. I remembered how my legs shook, how I held onto him like the only object in a swaying world.Those moments were the best, those moments gave me another idea. Maybe this man really wanted me and was just scared to accept it. Perhaps he felt the same way I was feeling but couldn’t admit it. Just maybe. I wasn’t sure, but I wanted to hope that was it.I stood up from the bed, my legs still shaking from the aftermath of our hot lovemaking. Each step I took made me remember th
Chapter Fifty-threeThe First Day At WorkOliviaI dragged my legs towards the big mirror in the closet, checking out the beautiful dress I wore.It was one of the dresses I picked out the day before and it looked so beautiful and perfect for my body, it seemed as though the dress was made just for me.I smiled as I styled my hair in a back bun, adding a band that completed the color of my dress.I wore a short heels and picked a bag that matched with the dress before heading out of the room, it was my first day at work and I had to look nice. I headed down the stairs and a big smile fell on my face when I saw the kids in the main room, smiles and excitement on their faces as they saw me.They didn’t wait for me to take the last step before rushing to me and wrapping their hands around me.“Olivia!” They chorused.I pulled back, bending to their eyes level, they were already dressed and ready for school. “How are you princesses?” I asked.“We are fine, we missed you and dad.” One of
Chapter Fifty-fourAn Old FriendOliviaI watched as she ran to Sebastian, wrapping her hand around his neck and leaving a kiss all over his face.“I missed you, honey.” She murmured.I shook my head, this was my reality and there was no way out of it, this woman will keep pushing me away and taking the place which was supposed to be mine.The same way she barged into me and pushed me away from the way, that would be the same way she would throw me out of the place I belong to, Sebastian’s home.Sebastian stood up and smiled, but I could see the emotions behind that smile, I could tell that it was faked, but I wondered why it was like that.He seemed to enjoy being with this woman, he seemed to enjoy her company as she gives him everything he wanted, why does he have this expression on his face? Could it be that he was only faking it? I wondered what was going on. Ever since I had been walking in on Sebastian and this woman, I had never taken my time to look at his face and study his
Chapter Fifty-fiveCatching UpOliviaEdie pulled back and held my hand, his eyes widened with surprise and excitement, “Olivia! I can’t believe I’m seeing you again!” He smiled and pulled me back into a tight hug.It had been years, it had been so long since I saw him last. We were still kids, so young when we lose contacts and never got to talk again.Sara had stopped them from coming into our house to visit me, but they would still sneak in. It all stopped when they had to move from our area to another place, it got to me years later that they moved abroad.I was hurt because I had no other friend aside from them, I ended up feeling like an outcast, especially at home where no one wants me.He pulled back again and stared into my eyes, a wide grin on his face. I could see the happiness written all over his face, the excitement and joy that he was seeing me again, it felt satisfying and comforting.For years, no one had looked at me the way Edie was looking at me, no one was happy t
Chapter Fifty-sixMore Than I KnowOlivia“Tell me, Olivia. What happened after we left? Are you really married? Or Did Sara lye to us?”I hung my head, still unable to say a word, I didn’t know what to say to him. I had always held the importance of trust and truth in my relationship with Edie and Edna, and we’ve never lied to each other.I wouldn’t want to spoil that with this, but I still wasn’t sure if it would be okay to tell him the truth or just keep it to myself, considering Sebastian’s warning. Edie grabbed my hand, “what has Sara done to you? What did she do to you when we were gone?” He shook his head, “I knew it! I knew after we left, she would take the chance to treat you whatever way she wanted, because there was no one to stop her.” He raised my head up slowly, “just tell me the truth, Olivia, what did she do? Did she really get you married?” I stared into his eyes, he was always quick to read me through my reaction, he would get to know what was wrong with me even wi
Chapter Fifty-sevenThe Strange ManSebastian It had been close to an hour since I sent Olivia down to get me just a cup of coffee and cookie, but she was yet to be back.I wanted to take that so I could take my pills for the day, but she was yet to be back since then, I wondered where she must have gone, and what took her long.I sat there, trying to focus on the files I was trying to arrange for the coming board and workers meeting, but I couldn’t really concentrate on it. My eyes kept turning and I was dizzy, the only way to stop this was to take my pills, but I can’t even do that on an empty stomach, I wondered where Olivia was.I sighed, resting my head back on my chair with my eyes closed, I didn’t think there should be anything stopping her, she should have gotten back by now, it’s been over an hour.Could it be that she got into some problem? Or did the Elevator stop working? The elevator has never had a problem so I didn’t expect anything to happen there, she must have gone
