THE FOLLOWING MORNINGMaynard slowly reached for her cheeks caressing it slightly so as not to wake her up. He gently moved some strands of her hair behind her ears and smiled. He loved it when her pretty face was the first thing he saw when he woke up and he couldn't stop staring.Last night, he felt her warmth as she took care of him. Nothing about her changed at all, tho she try to act all tough and strong headed but deep down, she's a sweet little kitten who cares alot for others regardless.She still cares about him but tries to hide it.. Maynard couldn't help but chuckle. If she doesn't care about him like she claimed, why else would she stay but his side without leaving. There's still a chance after all.. Olivia shuts her eyes tightly as she felt a hand caressing her cheeks softly. She loved it at first but after realizing who that could be, she snapped her eyes open at once.She lifts herself up in a sitting position and seeing Maynard, she immediately began to feel his t
"What are you doing? Let go of me" Olivia tried to take his hands off but he hugged her tighter instead."Am sorry" He said as that was all he could think of right now.Olivia closed her eyes, inhaling deeply and letting out more tears. As much as she wants to, she can't seem to stop crying.Maynard pulled her back to the center of the room, he let go of her and came in front of her, going on his knees."I know what I did was totally wrong and I have no right to say sorry. My actions and everything caused a lot of pain to you..."Olivia turned her back against him, she couldn't look at him. Like, the more she did look at him, the more pain she gets.".. No amount of sorry can erase the hurtful memories you have about our wedding but I'm deeply sorry for everything Olivia. I shouldn't have been a jerk, I shouldn't have betrayed you. I know it's hard to believe but Vernes is out of my life completely. I have nothing to do with her anymore and I want you to know that I'm being sincere..
None of Olivia's forgiveness would have happened if Lucy hadn't intervened. All thanks to Lucy for doing what she did.He has never been so excited like he is right now. Like, this should be just happiest day ever and getting back home, he feels really refreshed."Never in my entire life have I seen you this happy. I cringe at the thought of what would happen if she had refused to forgive you"Maynard stopped dancing and faced Mark... He seemed to be thinking about Mark's last statement."I'd have been a shadow of myself for the rest of my life if that had happened. You honestly don't know what she has done to me Mark, She's my life now"Mark grinned widely.. "I love the sound of that. Now, this is the Maynard I've been searching for this past few years.."Maynard chuckled... Mark is absolutely right. This happy and fulfilled Maynard right now has been locked behind for so long, wasting his precious time flirting around with some woman.Vernes brought nothing but sadness into his life
At the office, Olivia kept checking her time and working to beat the given time. Lucy didn't stop sending in text messages and reminding her of the dinner at Maynard's abode.She wouldn't have agreed to go if Lucy had not talked her into it. Well, she's probably calm by constantly reminding herself that it's just a dinner and everyone would be present.A knock on the door interrupts her thoughts and she ushered whoever that is, in, then Sage walked in and she pushed the files she was working on aside to properly face him."Long time no see Olivia!!" He said as soon as he got in front of her.Olivia rolled her eyes at him. "You talk as if we haven't seen each other in years. C'mon, it's only been a few days..."He chuckled. "Heard you took sometime off""Yeah, I needed rest, it was worth it"Sage nods his head and said further.. "The guys and I were thinking of going out tonight, it would be more fun if you come along""Sorry but I already gave plans tonight..." She saw him crease his
"Welcome!!" Maynard said to both Lucy and Mark as they stepped into his abode while Olivia kept dragging her feet behind.As she got in, Maynard smiled and said welcome to her too and she returned it with a faint smile.He leads them to the dining area while portraying the gentleman role by pulling the seat out for Olivia. She mentally rolled her eyes at him but still took the Seats anyways."I'm so happy to see you accepted my invite Olivia.. You don't know what this means to me" He said specifically to her."Don't get too excited, I won't be here if Lucy had not insisted I come along" She responded.The rest of the chats was history as they all chatted about silly random things. Well, it was basically Mark and Maynard who did the talking about their past friendship while Lucy did the laughing were necessary.Olivia did nothing but just sat and ate from her meal without paying attention to what they were saying. She already played her part by accepting go come to his place and all
Olivia would be lying if she told anyone that she had a goodnight rest in her ex-husband's home. She didn't sleep a wink last night even when she forced herself to... All she kept seeing whenever she closed her eyes were her teary faces in the past.But why is she still thinking of such when she already threw away those hurtful past. Maybe she really haven't gotten over the fact that she already forgave him. It's a gradual process tho and she would need a lot of time to get over it.A sudden noise from outside jolts her out of her thought. She could fear voices right outside her door, she realized one of the voice as Maynard's and the other.. probably as Vernes.However, she was right. But what was Vernes doing at Maynard's home? Why does it seem like they're arguing or something? What are they arguing about?Getting really curious, she stood up from the bed and moved over to the door and pulled it open, stepping out and making their argument to seize for a while as their attention b
Olivia finds herself leaning into the kiss gradually. She wanted to push him away but she couldn't. Instead, she began to kiss him back.Maynard's kiss was kinda too fast, his lips were moving furiously against hers as if they were in some sort of marathon race.He stopped kissing and looked at her with a smirk as if he was tryna pass a message or something. He slammed his lips back on hers and began to move towards the bed, then gently pushed her to the bed, still not breaking the kiss.His right arm was firmly snaked around her waist possessively as he nipped on her lower lip as if someone's trying to snatch her from him right now because he's just too possessive.To Olivia, It felt as if she's not getting enough of him or he's not kissing her fast enough -even though he's already too fast.Her hands went over his shoulder, around his neck and she pulled him impossibly closer to herself to get more of his lips.She kept asking herself if what she was doing was right since it's only
CHAPTER 55 :- Accident.Sage could barely keep his eyes open as he's already so dead drunk. Since his last conversation with Olivia, he stopped going to the office but rather consoled himself by choosing not drink and forget the pain."How dare you do this to me Olivia, after everything we've been through. After everything I've done to make you forget that jerk, you still turned away from me and went to him instead...." He burped loudly, reaching for another bottle of whiskey and gulping everything down.He was crying as well and constantly telling himself that he's so unlucky in love. He couldn't be with his fiancee, death took her away. The second woman he ever loved since then, Maynard took her away again. He's so heartbroken right now that he felt like giving up on everything. Standing up, he staggered back and fell on the Sofa but he stood up again and walked out of his room after stepping on the empty bottles littered everywhere and grabbing his car keys.Going down the stairs
