EPILOGUE. Months later, Olivia struggled to keep her eyes open, she could see the smiling faces but they were blurry.She tried again and she could finally see them clearly. Maynard, Bryan, Sage.. everyone was present."Olivia! you are awake!". they said in unison and she gave them a tired smile.Maynard came and sat beside her."How are you feeling?". he asked."Am very tired". Olivia replied." I guess we both won the bet". Maynard said happily."Really?". Olivia asked."Yes, it's a boy and a girl". Maynard replied and Olivia smiled faintly, turning her head to the baby cradle right beside her bed. Her babies were fast asleep and right beside them was Bryan piercing gaze."He's been that way ever since. He hasn't stopped staring at them."With permission, can I be the babies' godfather?". Sage asked faking a British accent."Of course, my good man ". Olivia replied with the accent as well although her voice was hoarse."Congratulations mummy". Bryan said happily, finally tearing hi
CHAPTER ONE"You're so amazing baby!"Olivia moves uncomfortably on the bed, curling herself up but careful not to make any noise.The conversation Maynard is having keeps breaking her heart and she wishes there was a way to stop him from doing so.Over thirty minutes, she has been awake, listening to the phone call her husband was making.Not like it's the first time, on several occasions... Maynard was seen with a lady whose face Olivia has never gotten to see. A night, she saw Maynard going into an hotel with hands wrapped firmly around a lady.Olivia could not see the lady's face since she could only have a glimpse of their back view.It's not the typical her to just storm into the hotel, pull the lady by her hair and curse her never to get close to her husband. Olivia remained calm nonetheless. "...I can't wait to see you! Can't wait to get massaged by you.."Olivia takes her lower lips in and bites on it hard as it wounds her deeply to watch Maynard flirt with another woman rig
CHAPTER TWOOlivia keeps tossing back and forth on the bed. Since this morning, she remained locked up in her room and the urge to eat something was far from her. She cannot bring herself to do anything not even to get up from the bed which she has been lying on for hours.Everywhere she looks, reminds her of Maynard's infidelity and Lucy's words crosses her mind again."Divorce him. He's not meant for you! You don't deserve him! You don't deserve a man who runs back to his ex girlfriend barely one year of being married. He's a coward, you should not live with this. You deserve a better man Olivia....." Those words never left her head and it's beginning to drive her crazy. How can Lucy suggest such a thing? Of course, Maynard is cheating on her... She deserves a better man, but Maynard can be better!Olivia believes that this is a challenge she must overcome in her marriage. It breaks her heart that she is the one suffering from all of this but she has to fix it. She has to get h
CHAPTER THREETwo days later, Maynard already signed the divorce papers and had it sent back to Olivia, who was really quite distress over the incidence and out of anger, had her identity changed. She no longer wants to have anything of Maynard with her. She wants him out of her life completely... For good!. She did not think that Maynard would sign the divorce papers she left. Maybe she hoped for something else, like he'd look for her and ask her to come back. She was wrong, her sister was right.. Maynard is a completely different man now.Not the man she got married to, but the man who threw his marriage away just to get back with his ex girlfriend. These two days, Olivia hasn't been herself.. She feels hurt that Maynard betrayed her to this extent."Are you okay? I've been knocking for sometime now" Lucy walks in and Olivia immediately places the divorces papers down and sits up, resting her back on the head board.".. You were staring at that again, weren't you?" She sits besid
Maynard didn't Know what to do at that moment. His mind fills with conflicted thoughts as he tries to fight back the feeling he's having. He finds himself trying to reach out to the lady since she was still on the floor. He could not see her face since her hair was scattered all over. His hands touched her shoulder but as soon as it did, she shrugs him off with an angry scowl.."Take your hands off me, do not touch me!"She stands up, puts her face cap on and began to walk away without turning. Maynard finds himself in a state of perplexity but he knew he had to follow her to clear the doubt that lingers in his mind.Just as he was about to take a step, his driver, Henry showed up."Sir, we have to leave!!""Just a second Henry,..." He made to take another step but Henry stopped him again."We have to go Sir! The press are outside and creating a scene already."Maynard frowns.. "How did they get to know that I'll be here?""I have no idea..!"With that, Maynard rush out through th
Lucy rushes out as soon as she hears Olivia's scream. Olivia stands with her hands stretched out and eyes filled with terror as she panics at the sight of her blood-covered hands.She had pulled out the content from the gift bag only to discover that it was a cloth covered in fresh blood. It was a horrible sight and it made her really terrified.What sort of prank is this? Why would anyone want to play such jokes on her? This is really crossing the line. Whoever this anonymous fan is.. He's dangerous."Goodness!!" Lucy gasps in shock, seeing Olivia in such terrified state. She picks up the letter and reads through it, she found it hard to believe that it's resulting to such extents.Lucy tries to touch Olivia but she flinch in fear and rush back in. Olivia made her way to the kitchen and begins to wash the blood stains off her hands.The sight of it leaves her irritated and she feels like throwing up. She feels goosebumps on her skin too."Why isn't this coming off? Why is it so hard t
A week passes and Olivia has refused to step out of the apartment. Her manager, Harper had called and she informs him that she's unwell and would be needing some days off.It's worth it. The incident that happened made her feel under the weather because she could not get the irritating image off her head. She thought about leaving but decided not to because it will be giving in to what the anonymous person wants.Besides, Letters and gifts stopped coming since the police got involved and he left her with the thought that she's been watched. Why else would the letters stop coming as soon as she had it reported.. That's the more reason she doesn't want to go out because she's scared of what might happen.But she won't continue to hide in her shell just because some random person keeps playing dangerous pranks on her.Walking into the industry, her colleagues wouldn't stop asking how she's doing. Mr Harper must have told them that she's unwell. She couldn't help but wonder if they were a
Mr Harper did not say a word about it for the next two days and Olivia was glad that he didn't try to convince her. He only informs her that they have a new project and she gladly accepts to do it since Maynard nor his industry wasn't involved.".... He's a new actor who just got signed by the industry, can you work with him?""Of course. As long as he's good at what he does, then we can make a great team..." Mr Harper nods and Olivia speaks further. "When do we start and when do I meet this new actor?""Since it's Friday, then I suggest we rest over the weekend and prepare our minds and we begin the following week"Olivia was pretty excited.. "Sure, that's great""I'll send a copy of the script to you shortly. However, do you know what other thing I think you should be teams with?"Olivia frowns, confused and trying to understand what he means.. "..And what is that?"Mr Harper sighs before saying... "Your partnership with Maynard's industry"Her frown deepens because she least expects
