Mike's POVThe crowd erupted, and I knew it was 'him' who had appeared. Darls Collymore, my biggest opponentI pulled Natasha Matinez, my current girlfriend, by her waist and strutted my way inside the venue. I had no time to pay attention to the life of a loser like Darls Collymore. I'm confident that soon I'll be destroying the little he managed to accumulate over the past few years. Natasha Matinez was a previous fling of mine. She was supposed to be one of the ladies who I'd used and tossed. But along the way, I discovered her hidden potential and power. As a well-known supermodel and the sole heir to her father's cooperation, I needed her by my side."All of you, I'd like to introduce you to someone precious to me. The lady in my heart, meet Olivia Darls Collymore, my wife." Darls Collymore announced.
Darls' POVA light kiss on the forehead wasn't going to matter much to her. And so is it. I placed a gentle kiss on the crown of her head and she blushed. The media presenters were in awe and filled with surprises. I held onto her thin waist as they clicked pictures. We went through different poses, and finally, seeing that it was all done and there was no need to entertain them anymore,I held onto my wife as we strutted inside the moderately lit hotel. I slowed down my pace, knowing fully well that my lady could be clumsy at any moment.Getting towards the hall for the banquet, I felt her tighten her grip on my hand, and I gave her a small but reassuring pat on the back of her palm. I reassured her; I wouldn't be letting her off to her ex to bully. It's funny how I finally met her but in the worst condition. It hurts to see someone you've al
Darls' POVNo one said a single word until I heard the whisper of the lady in my arm. "But that wasn't in the deal." I chuckled lightly. "Remember to always read the terms and conditions in a contract before signing them. You never know what might be hidden." I whispered, and she made puppy-like eyes that were filled with perplexity, and I just let out a quick smile, and then, Someone lets out a gasp of horror. "Are you for real, CEO Darls? I mean, who the hell hands over their lifetime achievements to some random person whom he recently married? Do you trust her that much that you are not afraid of your well-to-do company going bankrupt?" A certain lady I have no interest in spoke up. Her expression held fury and displeasure as she glared at Olivia, Who seemed to have processed the announcement compl
Darls' POV"How dare you speak of that?" Olivia growled, punching me on the shoulder, and I chortle. She doesn't know how cute she is, looking so feisty. "We welcome you all once again to the fifth edition of the charity auction." The host announced it, and everyone applauded. The stage was cleared, and the first item for auction was displayed.

Author's pov"Oh my, it's Livia; why didn't you inform us you were getting married? Besides, you already know we would have wholeheartedly supported you."Cynthia wailed out like a proud mom. She goes closer to hold Olivia's hands, but Darls, being the sharp-eyed CEO, quickly realizes her next actions, so he moves his hands to hold Olivia's.Cythian, embarrassed, took several steps back. She did not dare argue with the affluent CEO."Oh, son, you are being too protective. Haha, I was only going to hold her; after all, she's my daughter."Cynthia added, but Darls only scoffed in response."Son?" he spoke."Who are you calling, son?" He questions.It felt as if Ishehad to find a hole to hide inside at Darl's blatant rejection. Seeing his wife in a difficult situation, Jaxon intervenes."Of course, you are our son. You married our daughter, which automatically makes you our son."Jaxon explains. Darls chuckled, and he stared at him like a joke."I don't remember Olivia being your daughter
The car drove into the parking lot. Darls didn't wait for the bodyguards to pull open the doors for him. He alighted from the car and hastily got to the other side of it.He pulled open the door, and Olivia exited the Limo. Darls picks up her nurse. Instead of giving it back, he decides to hold it. They both strutted inside the mansion and just then Olivia's stomach grumbled.She instantly felt embarrassed and did not look up at him. He smiles without saying a word. He thinks this darling wife has had a long day, and at the moment, she must be tired.He didn't want to annoy her by teasing her. As they got to the living room, Olivia was greeted by the tantalizing aroma of stewed chicken alongside other mouth-watering dishes."Go clean up, then come down for dinner," Darls said. Without arguing, She nods and hurries to the elevator, forgetting her purse was with Darls.Darls raised his eyebrows, frowning at how careless she had just acted. He then beams with the thought that she didn't m
"Krm!" Olivia liberates her throat."I seem to have forgotten my purse with you. Can I have it back already?" She asks.Darls merely moved away from the doorway. He made a path for her, and then he pointed at the purse on his bed.Olivia took a deep breath before stepping inside. She secretly peeked at the room and noticed nothing fancy.Just two old paintings hung on the wall, and then the architecture of the room and its wallpaper designIt looks typical of a person with an I don't care personality. The room was just cold, devoid of anything warm. Not even a vase of flowers.As she gets to the bed, she picks up her purse and smiles at him. Darls now lean against the wall, expressionless.He watches her walk, seeming captivated by her mode of walking, but his face is still sans any emotions.He stood magnificently like he was intentionally showing off his muscles, abs, and biceps. His perfect, alluring, and seductive body, which he had always kept hidden behind his suits, was now open
All dressed up in a skirt suit. Her hair was packed into a straight ponytail. Olivia wore her suit jacket expressionlessly. She then bends over to wear her six-centimeter stiletto heels.Her black suit skirt reached her knees, and her pink undershirt had been tucked into her skirt. The tailored black suit jacket had its buttons all done.Her makeover was simple but urbane at the same time. She takes a pair of stud earrings and a gold chain from the drawer, placing them appropriately. She also takes out a beautiful lady's wristwatch and places it around her wrist.Olivia then picked up her designer handbag, which contained all the necessary items needed, and stared at her reflection one more time before exiting the room.As she walked, the maids bowed. Their boss lady wasn't saying a word and no one dared to make a sound. They had their heads down, their arms crossed, and not once did they plan to risk their lives.As the elevator moved down to the second floor, memories of the painful
