STUDIO 54 CLUBHOUSEPushing himself through the crowded dancefloor, Maynard makes his way to the favorite spot he and Mark Townsend always uses.He saw Mark seated and sipping from his glass of alcohol with a half naked lady in front of him, dancing seductively and displaying her endowments.As soon as Mark sees him, he got excited and stands up to give him their usual bro hug but Maynard wasn't at all in the mood. He simply marched pass Mark and went to sit, still fuming in anger over what happened with Sage.Mark Townsend and Maynard have always been childhood buddies.Just like Maynard, Mark is the only heir to the Townsend family, raised by his grandfather. He had gone on vacation for a year and only just returned few days ago to assume his position as the new CEO of Townsend Group."Can't believe you got punched by some random guy.!!!" Mark laughs out after Maynard explains what actually caused his bruise."Is it that funny uh?"Mark tries to stop himself from laughing but he j
LATER THAT DAY"Are you sure you want to be here Olivia?" Sage asked, rushing behind her as she maneuvered her way through the crowd, to the spot where the entire team were already seated.Olivia stopped on her track and turns to Sage. "I'm really damn serious and am gonna be drinking to my heart content"She turns away and moved over to where her colleagues were and they were all just surprised to see her joining their hangouts.Sage shakes his head and joins them after seeing how serious she is. There's something off with her right from the moment she agreed to tag along.She seemed nervous and restless as well, like she's trying to get her mind off something.It felt to him like she was scared of something or someone and that's why she wanted to have him around. He had asked and all she said was that she was perfectly alright.The entire team were going crazy, drinking, chatting and laughing and it was crazy. Sage did not say a word but Just sat and kept his gaze fixed on Olivi
Olivia woke up to the sound of running water coming from the Kitchen area. She sat up and rubs her face, still recovering from the alcohol she had last night."Can't believe I had so much to drink" She mumbles to herself. She notices that the sound of running water had gone off. She really can't recall anything that happened last night, apart from the time she was dared to give Sage a kiss.How she got back home, to her room.. is still a mystery to her."Lucy!! Is that you?" She yells but got no response. She had no idea if Lucy returned home last night and her phone...She looks around for her phone and found it Lying on the side of her bed. Who could have placed it there? She had left it on the floor, refusing to go close to it, like she'd get burnt if she did.She manages to hold the phone. It's no use, the screen is broken, she'd have to get a new one. Tossing the phone to a corner, she got off the bed and puts her flip flops on and makes her way out, dragging her feet lazily beh
A MONTH LATER Unknown to Olivia, she has been under watchful eyes. Her every activities are being monitored, When she leaves her home, to the industry and where she goes there after and even who she hangs out with.It's none other than Maynard. All this time, he couldn't stop himself from wanting to know about everything that have happened to her over the last two years.With the help of his driver Henry, he was able to get the information he needed and also where she resides.But it bothers him more to see that she has been doing so well and living her life to the fullest without him.He can't help but question himself..Has she really moved on from him? Does she really not think about him?What annoys him most is the fact that Olivia hangs out with the Sage guy all the time. Seeing them eat out and the way she laughs and Jokes with him drives him crazy.What gave her the right to joke around with a man? Most times, he doubts if they're really just friends like Henry had reported.
As he tookslow steps towards her, she took two steps back. She runs out of luck when her back hits the wall, leaving her with no where to run to.He was wearing a black mask as well to protect his identity. Olivia shivers in fear. There's nothing she can do and it only got worse when he pulls out a knife from his jacket, still walking towards her."Who are you? What do you want from me? Why do you keep tormenting me?" She keeps asking even though it's becoming so hard for her to breath.He just kept moving slowly towards her. What has she done to deserve this? As far as she knows, she has no foes whatsoever.. Who would want to do this to her?Right now, she can only wish for one thing... That is for a miracle to happen and someone would come save her. Where is Sage who always shows up when she needs help? Why isn't he showing up now? In a swift move, he attacks her, holding her neck and trying to strangle her. Olivia didn't want to give up easily. She did the first thing that came t
It wasn't the question of simply moving, it's her safety that matters. Her home isn't safe anymore. Her life is been threatened by some stalker fan.She had no where to go... She had thought of staying over at the hotel but she's never going to risk it.She considered staying over at sage's, Irrespective of what people would say when they see them staying together. It's only for a meantime, when all of this chaos is over.However, Sage was more than happy to have her. Where else would she be staying at if Sage wasn't in her life. She's glad to have him as a friend.If only Lucy had agreed to move out with her. Olivia had tried to persuade her but she insisted on staying back.Her mind wanders off to the time she collapsed. She thought it was Sage but it turns out to be Maynard.What was he doing in her home? How is it possible that he showed up just the same time she was being attacked?..It really doesn't make any sense to get threatened by some random stalker who gives threatening
Maynard's brows were knitted together in a deep frown as he seriously kept going through some pile of files on his desk.He don't want to be disturbed but want to keep working and working. He didn't expect Olivia to look down on him like she did. She was too harsh on him and said words no one has ever said to him.He had underestimated her. She wasn't the weak Olivia he used to know. She changed alot... more than he had expected.She didn't even appreciate the fact that he had saved her, it's what annoys him the most. Her words keep resounding in his head since she left, he couldn't shake the feeling of disdain that he had seen in her eyes. His secretary barged in with Mark all of a sudden while she was trying to prevent him from stepping in."Am sorry sir, I tried to stop him" She apologized immediately.Maynard glared at Mark who had a smirk with a carefree look on. If it wasn't for the one thing he has with Mark, he'd have asked the security to come throw him out and have the sec
"Am sorry you had to get hurt because of me" Olivia apologized as she applied treatment on Sage.Sage groans and moved his face away. He had accidentally bitten his lower lip when Maynard punched him, and it's really painful."What were you two talking about anyways? I walked passed you both because I don't want to engage in a conversation with him. If I'd seen this earlier, I'd have given him a piece of my mind..."Sage smiled. "It's nothing Olivia. It's just one of those discussions between guys. As for the punch, I guess he's simply jealous you moved on with me"She scoffed loudly.. "Jealous my foot!!" Mumbling, she applied finishing touches to the bruise.Sage didn't stop stealing glances at her face. Somehow, he felt relieved to see how much she cared about him, that only makes him believe that he's on the right track.However, his argument with Maynard a while back was borne out of jealousy and hate.As a man just like Maynard, he could tell that he's trying to make his way bac
