Oliver walks out of the bathroom to the ward where Emily is waiting for her. She has washed her face and clears any streaks of obvious tears on her face. Emily mustn't suspect a thing. Oliver feels she should be more careful with her since she knows the truth. The real her! Emily stands beside her bed with a concerned look. She looks worried and concerned for her. Oliver begins to wonder if she's been harboring hate for her now or it started later. Because if she hated her, the worried look she is pulling now is too convincing to be true.
"Are you sure you are okay Oliver? You've been acting weird." She says holding her by her shoulders tightly."I am. I am okay." Oliver replies and walks over to her bed. She sits on it while Emily sits beside her."Ethan has been so worried about you. I should inform him that you are awake." Emily says and brings out her phone. Oliver scoffs silently and rolls her eyes at her."No, don't. I'm okay now." She stops her by waving her hands down."Yes, I know you are okay. But I should inform him about your condition now. That's the right thing to do. Like, he's been so worried about you. You committed suicide because of him, just to leave that guy and go to him." She explains to her and keeps on tapping her phone. "But do not do that again. Ethan doesn't like what you did either. You could have been dead." She warns and averts her gaze from hers."Alexander! Is he here?" Oliver asks curiously."He brought you here but he left afterwards. He knows you don't want to see his disgusting face." She says."Stop it. He is not disgusting." Oliver defends him. Emily looks at her in shock."When did you start defending him?" She asks, surprised at her outburst."I'm okay now. Shouldn't I be discharged?" Oliver asks, ignoring her question."The doctor said if you wake up that you are good to go." She tells her still staring deeply at her."Then I will." Oliver decides and stands up from the bed abruptly."You can't leave like that. You have to sign out." Emily protested."I will sign out." Oliver replies and moves out of the room."You can't still leave like that. You should wait for the doctor to check you…" Emily's word is cut off by Oliver's exit. She leaves the room for her.Emily stares at the door in surprise. Why is she behaving strangely? When she woke up, she was murmuring some inaudible words and behaving irrational to her. Now, she is asking about Alexander and defending him. She is expecting her to be asking about Ethan and be eager to see him. She didn't even talk about Ethan at all. Did the attempting suicide affects her brain.Oh God! Emily stands up in a jiffy and heads towards the doctor's office. She will ask him that. Was it because of the suicide that made her behave irrational at first, losing memory then unpredictable. She thinks the doctor says she is alright then why the abnormal behavior.Oliver stands in front of the big and magnificent mansion. Five years from now, this will be her home. But now, she's here to make things right, to get things straight. She opens the door and walks inside the familiar house. She closes the door behind her and walks towards the living room.Oliver sees Alex sitting in the living room with alcohol in front of him. He looks devastated. Oliver remembers this scene well, she remembers what happened here. Right here, he let her go because he doesn't want her hurt anymore. She was so happy that she would finally be with Ethan and didn't consider his feelings that he was sacrificing for her. He let her go and apologized for forcefully keeping her by his side. He doesn't want to see her hurt anymore because of him."Oliver!" Alexander calls and rushes towards her. "Are… you are okay." He says awkwardly as he stands in front of her. Oliver stares at him and glances all over his body. He isn't hurt, no burn mark. He is okay. He didn't die. Oliver can't be more excited as she moves closer to him and envelopes him in a hug.Alexander stands dumbfounded. What is wrong with her? She hugs him tightly and almost gets emotional when she disengaged from the hug immediately."I'm sorry. I…." Oliver stutters and tries to explain her sudden unpredictable behavior. She has to remind herself that none of them knows that she had just gone back from five years and knows what happens next. She is given a second chance after her and Alexander just barely escapes death. Truly, they will feel giddy about her sudden change of character because now she knows who truly loves her and who does not. She knows her enemy, her fake loves and her true love."No, it's okay." Alexander replies grinning excitedly. The smile wipes off his lips immediately as he stares deeply at her. Alexander takes her hug as been grateful for saving her from suicide but he doesn't want her to go through that again."I'm sorry I caused you pain and made you uncomfortable with me. You… you tried to commit suicide because of me. You are getting hurt because of me. I realize that keeping you by my side will hurt both of us. Forcefully making you stay by my side will bring no good." Alex says to her. Oliver already knows where he is going with this."So, I've decided to leave you alone. You can go your way and I will stay my way. I will release you from this bondage and go meet your lover, Ethan." He whispers the last part in pain. "If that's what will make you happy." He added and averted his gaze from Oliver. He can't stand her sight. It's hard letting her go but he has to constantly remind himself that she's not happy with him. Letting her go will be the best option for the both of them.As Oliver stares at him, she can't believe she did leave him then and rushes over to Ethan to break the good news, the good news which later turned sour after five years. She can't believe she left him and fails to his sincerity, the true love he really had for her. He really did love her or else he won't die with her in the fire when he still has so many things to accomplish as a businessman. She left him and went over to that church rat who was after his grandparents' money. Him and that deceptive girl, her best friend. She had failed to see their true color."No, Alex. I'm not leaving you." Oliver replies to him. Alex snaps his head up to look at her with a confused expression."What do you mean? You are free to go meet Ethan. You loved him, didn't you?" Alex asks."No, I don't anymore. That was then but I do not anymore. I want to be with you now Alex. I want to stay with you." Oliver says to him and Alex's mouth is left agape."Oliver, are you okay?" He walks closer to her and holds her head, inspecting any injuries. "Did you lose part of your memory?" He is surprised at her character.Oliver pulls his hands away and hugs him tightly. "I'm well. Nothing is wrong with me. I'm perfectly fine. I know what I want and in my right senses to declare it. I want you Alex." She whispers to his ear. She can see his ear turning red and Oliver can't help but giggle out loudly.She looks at him and smiles widely. "I want to get changed. The smell of drugs Is still on me." Oliver says and walks towards the stairs. This time, she is back for revenge. She is in for revenge and they won't go Scot free. The pain she felt in the warehouse, the betrayal, she will give them twice the fold of what they made her experience. The pain, the hotness, how her skin burns, how Alexander had protected her with his body and had felt the pain first-hand even though he had nothing to do with it, she will avenge everything. They won't go Scot free from her, not this time. Not when she's been given a second chance to redeem her mistakes. And one of the gravest mistakes was leaving Alex and she has changed that now. She changed that, she stays with Alex, everything will change, things won't go like it did five years from now. It will take a different turn now.Alex looks at her retreating figure with a dazed expression. How possible! He has always been wishing for a miracle, a miracle to happen, Oliver should wake up one day and love him deeply. He had promised to go to the church and give thanks to the lord If it did happen. He knows it's a bluff, it can't happen. She has always hated him, why will she wake up one day and declare her love for him.But what is happening now? Oliver tells him she wants to stay with him and not with Ethan. Is this real or a dream? Has he drunk too much that he is imagining things. Alexander rubs his eyes vigorously and looks at his surroundings. It's real! He chuckles nervously and rushes over to clear the table. The mess he had made last night, blaming himself if anything happens to Oliver. But here she was, with a different character."You are done." Alex looks up at her and says to her. He drops his laptop and stands up, stretching himself. Looking at him now, Oliver can't help but admire his perfectly aligned toned body. His body is well built."Yes, I am." Oliver says back to him, blushing slightly. "Stop talking like I spent so much time in there." She says and walks over to the bed."You did." Alex replies.. “The divorce letter is still at the table there. You can still sign it if you want to. You don’t have to pity me and stay all because of that.” Alex said with a cold face.“Where is the letter?” She asked him.Alex felt his heat hurt when he heard this. At least she is not pretending to want to be with me. It is okay to set her free. He does not want her to hurt herself just because he forced her to stay with him. He wants her to be happy, he sighed even though he was hurting he still had a cold face. He pointed at the table beside the bed.He closed his eyes as he watched her walked towards the divorce l
"Your seat belt ma'am." Alex says to her."Oh, thanks for reminding me of that." She inserts the seat belt and looks over at Alex who was staring at her. They both burst into a fit of laughter. "Stop, that role doesn't fit you ." Oliver says playfully. To be sincere, it does. He was treating her like a rich independent lady while Alex is her driver.Stop thinking about the past Oliver. You are here to make things right."It does fit you. The status fits you." He says to her as he ignites the car. They were going for the date she had told him to take her on."When did the dream start?" He asks after a few minutes of silence. She had woken up in the middle of the night screaming and kept on murmuring that she's feeling hot. It was the fire. The way she died five years from now. She dreamt about it last night and left her in terror. What was she expecting? Was she really expecting that the memory would hunt her? That was a painful experience."I'm sorry if I disturbed you in the middle o
Alex drives into his garage and Oliver catches two people standing in front of their gate. When Alex drives in, they walk inside following his car. It is Ethan and Emily. What are they doing here? Fake concern! She doesn't want their fake concern."Your friends are here." Alex slowly says and opens the door. Oliver walks down and moves closer to them."Hey. What did you do to her? Why isn't she picking her calls? Did you hurt her?" Ethan screams at him. He walks closer to Oliver. "Did he hurt you dear?" He asks, placing his hands on her shoulder.Oliver shifts away from him and removes his hands from her body. Jerk!"No, he didn't do anything to me. We went out on a date. Why will he hurt me? He is my husband." Oliver replies to her. Ethan stays shocked and looks at her with a frown. He keeps his hands beside him and turns back to Alex who had a sinister smile on his lips."I told you she was acting strange." Emily finally speaks out and makes her way to Oliver."I told you if you hur
"Ahh, the phone." Oliver turns it on and sees several missed calls on it."Yes, your friends have called you and Ethan." One could notice the name rolling off his tongue with difficulty. It's more like they've been rivals for a long time."I didn't want to be disturbed by their call on our date." Oliver answers straightforwardly. Alex is amazed at her reply and wonders what really changed her."But you really are fond of your friends. What changed?" Alex asks and dips his hands into his pocket."My perspective. My thoughts. Everything. I like myself better now. I want to act according to my thoughts and not give a damn about theirs. I'm ready to give us a chance." She chuckles and heads upstairs, leaving him more amazed.Why won't she like herself better now that she just escaped death? She can't possibly tell Alex about her dying in the fire and coming back in time. He would think she was mad. He will think she hit her head on the ground somewhere and that it affected her brain. Or h
The receptionist scoffed when she saw this; she obviously did not believe that she would be able to walk away. Suddenly her phone rang. She rushed and answered the call because it was the company’s phone, not her personal phone.She put the phone on her ear."Hello … Oh yes sir... Yes, sir, I will allow her in now," She said respectfully.The receptionist put the phone back and looked at Olivia; her eyes were filled with respect now. "Miss, you can go in now. You did not tell me that you are so special; I will have to allow you to have a seat when you come in. I am sorry." She hastily apologized politely; she was almost bowing her head.Olivia waved her head at her to let her know that she was not mad at all. In fact, she felt very happy with her instead since she could keep any ladies who tried to seduce Alex away by saying, "It is alright. It is your job; I understand," Olivia said.The receptionist heaved a sigh of relief and smiled gratefully, saying, "You are so magnanimous and n
Alex was shocked to see her arguing with the secretary. He glanced coldly at the secretary first, and the secretary shivered when she saw the cold look on Alex’s face.He walked toward Olivia with a smile. "You are here? I have been waiting for you. What are you waiting for here?" He asked as he looked at the secretary.The secretary was shocked to see the way Alex was talking to her; he even smiled at her. She had never seen him smile like this before, and she felt her heart strike when she saw the smile on his face. He looked so handsome; her gaze was filled with an infatuated gaze, but she immediately snapped out of her fantasy when she saw him looking at her coldly without any hint of warmth. She shivered."President, do you know her?" She asked him."Your secretary did not allow me in. She said you don’t see strangers without an appointment," Olivia said.The secretary was shocked. She was suddenly feeling so scared. She knew that Olivia was not an ordinary woman with the way the
She dipped her hand into her pocket and brought out her phone. She glanced at the screen and saw that the caller was Ethan. She frowned, and even the man beside her turned chilly instantly. She shivered and immediately put her phone on the table. She looked at him with an innocent expression, as if she did not notice his temperament change.Yeah, I do," She said.Her phone rang again. She frowned, feeling irritated. She took it and glanced at the screen; it was Emily this time.She really did not want to answer her call, but she did not want them to suspect her too much. She already knew what they planned to do if they suddenly changed their plans, which was bad for her because she would not know what their plan was. But now that she knew, but they did not know that she knew, she would be able to catch them off guard and retaliate without being too obvious.She looked at Alex and smiled apologetically at him. She answered the call and put the phone in her ear."Hello," She said."Oliv
Olivia waited for a few minutes before the nurse finally walked toward her."You are here," the nurse said with a smile when she saw her.Olivia nodded. She walked toward her. Yes, I came for the perfume you told me about," She said.Oh, the perfume?" The nurse said this and looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "I recalled that you told me that you don’t believe in those things. Why did you change your mind?" She asked with a smile on her face.Olivia nodded. "Yes. Even though I did not really believe in it. A trial will not be that bad after all," Olivia shrugged.The nurse smiled. Okay, wait here while I go and get the perfume," She said.Olivia nodded and stood to the side. She looked around the hospital. The hospital was also the hospital where Ethan was receiving treatment. The same hospital she was rushed to when she committed suicide.She frowned. She already knew that the news about her being here would have already reached Alex. That was how it was in her previous life. Emil
