Oliver has been preoccupied since he arrived home to his father who of course was in a ridiculously sour mood, well he wasn’t surprised seeing how the event ended with him ditching his own party, his father, of course, won’t be happy about it.“You still haven’t found the person who uploaded that footage and the hidden camera?” His father fumed. After he left the house of the strange woman he spent the night with, he went back home to change and now he’s been summoned by his father that had turned his office upside down after he didn’t get any positive response, his name plates and files was across the room instead of the desk by the time Oliver arrived back home, his father had always kept a calm, stoic appearance but seeing as he’s freaking out means things aren’t looking very good for him.“You-” His father, Owen paused the moment he set his eyes on him. “You…you were out all night, you didn’t cause any more trouble for me did you?” The man queried as he stared at the cold, indiffe
Andrea stood frozen in shock for a minute trying to understand what on earth was going on and why the guy that had rudely left her apartment in the morning had come knocking on her door so late, and worse he wasn’t wearing shoes.“What on earth are you doing out here?” Andrea furrowed totally speechless. For a second she was confused about what to do, the same man had shoved some money to her face for helping him. Andrea felt her head ached trying to figure out what to do with the man.“Um, can…can you let me stay here again?” He requested timidly, his hair and clothes dripping, he looked like a lost puppy soaked in the rain, Andrea thought. He really looks a lot better and younger with his hair down, Andrea thought recalling how his hair had been neatly gelled to the back when they first met.“No” She finally answered after seeing the anticipating look on his face.“Why?” Why does he sound so gentle and timid? Andrea wondered, it was like he become a completely different person again
Andrea had never felt so mortified of someone in her life, she felt like her entire life flashed through her eyes after the president suddenly proposed her a deal and even asked for Rio to take a seat next to her. “As you already noticed, my son is suffering from a mental illness called double personality disorder” Andrea's throat runs dry, double personality disorder? There are actually people who had that disorder, she’d only ever heard of it in movies and read about it in books, seeing a victim of the mental disorder in real life was an eye opener for, yeah…she definitely thought his behaviour was rather strange, one moment he was nice and calm, but another second, he was rude and indifferent, had her wondering how someone could be so different on two different occasions. “This piece of information is something I expect you to guard with your life, a lot of people want to see him fall after all” Andrea flinched. Yeah, Boris enterprises is such a big company, they aren’t actors or a
Danny fidgeted nervously as he approached the president’s office, because of Andrea’s stubborn decision he’s been put in a rather difficult position. He wished she’d just listen to him, he wouldn’t have to result to tricks like moving the wedding up but it still all depended on the president’s decision, if he manage to play it safe, everything could all be solved, Andrea won’t stay still of course, but he could always coax her into giving in eventually, or so he thought before walking into the president’s rectangular office.It wasn’t different from any other office on the top of the company building, except that it screams luxury, from the expensive ceramic vase adorning the entrance to the extravagant leather sofa for guests which was some distance away from the president’s desk.Though he’s been in the president’s office a few times, he couldn’t help but be impressed by how it was lavishly decorated and yet kept simple and warm.“You called me sir?” Danny announced her presence to
“Are you sure you’re gonna be okay?” Daisy Cabello, Andrea’s long-time friend questioned over the phone with a concerned tone after Andrea narrated her ordeal to her.“I think so, I already took the day off, so…I’ll be using this time to rest” Andrea replied in a tired voice while she trailed down to the parking lot where she had her ash CUV parked. As much as she would like to focus on preparing for their upcoming show at that moment, she just wasn’t in a proper mental state to go through with it.“Yeah, you should take a rest today. You’ve gone through a lot, I can’t imagine going through that really, I’ll probably be in jail right now because I’d have killed that son of a bitch, I must have been blind to think he was someone decent” Daisy gritted harshly over the phone, it was evident she was upset. Andrea chuckled and pressed down on her car button as she approached her car in her business casual attire and her mini bag, her peep-toe heels clicking as she approached her car.“Yeah
Rio was already used to the emptiness that comes with being Oliver’s alter ego. Locked deep down in his consciousness until his fear brings him to the surface. Forever wrapped in the airy loneliness and forever roaming in the loathsome darkness but he never hated it, he only wanted to protect Oliver after all, well until now.For the first time, he found himself battling the darkness and hating the loneliness, he wanted to see the bright light again and the gentle and warm amber eyes of Andrea that somehow gave him a purpose different from that he was born.Although it wasn’t that easy, he could never win against Oliver no matter how much he tries, it was his first fight for control after all. His struggle gave him a chance to Oliver’s consciousness even though their thoughts and actions were normally hidden from each other. Oliver was seated in a black swivel chair, fitted close to his office desk, he rested his head on his hands while staring down at the single paper he just sighed.
“What…what are you doing here?” Andrea asked Rio wearing a blank expression as he stared at Rio with lifeless, stone-cold eyes.“Andrea” Rio moved closer, maintaining the concerned look he had on his face. Andrea hated that he had to see her that way, soaked and miserable but none of that mattered since, she doesn’t give a flying fuck at this time, not with everything on her plate right that moment. “Are you alright-“Leave” Rio flinched to her cold tone. Andrea didn’t mean to be rude, she just wasn’t in the mood to entertain him, she’s got so much going on, she had no intention of playing house with him. “I’m sorry…I just-” Her voice turned brittle, ready to break at the slightest push. “I just-” Her words wouldn’t come, thinking about everything again just brought tears to her eyes. How could she put her suffering in words? She wondered. While many people might think it’s no big deal, they could deal with the damage, her heart wouldn’t stop hurting, would it have been less differen
“I can’t believe she yelled at me…not only did she yell at me, she literally throw me outta her house, did she think I wanted to be there too, it it wasn’t because of Rio, I’d be in my goddamn room Sleeping!” Oliver ranted on and on then Ben sighed and adjusted his hands on the wheels.Oliver had managed to reach his assistant who because of Rio found out about his condition 2 years ago but had kept it a secret for him, so, he decided to trust him on it, but Ben felt like he was starting to regret it now because he’s always sent to clean up after Rio or Oliver cause trouble.“I mean…what did Rio even see in that crude girl by the way?” Ben let out an exasperated sigh but felt relieved they were slowly approaching his family home. He couldn’t believe Oliver ranted through the entire ride back to his house, complaining about ‘this Andrea girl’. Just why is he doing this to me? Ben thought wearing a look on his face after they pulled over and Oliver still kept going on about how that gi
