Octavia returned back after the court verdict. She had left work place earlier so as to appear in court with her lawyer. Lachlan Williams was also present in court with his lawyer. Octavia was stunned to see how the judge easily dismissed her case and moved on to the next case before him. She had left the court in shame. She thought that Cullan's lawyer will be able to convince the judge to tell Lachlan to hand over her kids to her but that didn't happen. Infact, her lawyer was greatly ridiculed by the judge. "What now?" Someone walked into her office and spoke. Looking up, she saw Lachlan Williams, with a sinister smile on his face. "want to appeal the case to an higher court, huh?"Octavia sighed, "you are wicked!""But you kept my kids away from me for five years. Isn't that wickedness from your end?""Still doesn't mean I'll live in your house or agree to be your fake wife.""Cool. The kids are now permanently with my grandfather anyways. I guess you don't mind not ever seeing
"Excuse me?""Is that supposed to be a surprise? You were adopted, remember?" Salome reminded her. Eventhough she was adopted, she had always seen Carter as her real father. The idea of having a father somewhere felt so strange to her. But thinking about it, she was truly adopted. That implies that her parents are somewhere. "How did you know where my real parents are?""Not just where they live. I know who they are. And how I wish you know how desperate they are to reconnect to you." Salome said. But Octavia didn't believe Salome, she could be lying. "I can't help you, sorry." Salome hummed thoughtfully, "Your dad is rich and powerful though. You life may become easier by reconnecting to him. Plus you've been denied true parental love ever since I came into the scene, don't you want that?" Then she stood, "I'll let you think about it." She added, "and just so you know, you are my plan B. Even if you refuse, I'll still be able to crawl up my way into his arms.""He has a girlfri
The men charged at her and she screamed in fear, running all around the closed room. Octavia didn't even want those men to lay their dirty hands on her talkless of stripping her naked. She was scared to the gut. All of a sudden, her leg hit the sharp edge of the stood and blood immediately spilled from it. She screamed in agony and she watched blood gush out. Those men caught up with her, ignoring the fresh injury on her leg and then began to slap her and hit her, while tearing her clothes forcefully. Octavia kept screaming for help even though she knew help is not likely to come. At the end, she was left with just a pant and bra. Her torn clothes were littered all over the floor. Carter watched with amusement. He had told the thugs to pause for they were now about to rip her pant and bra off. Octavia had never felt this naked. Tears could be seen rushing out of her face. The bulge on Carter's trouser suddenly became visible, "jeez! I never knew this bitch is this sexy."Octavia
Eventhough it wasn't really bright, Lachlan Williams perceived that she might have been abused. "Who did this to you?""Did what?" She asked. Trying to sound as though nothing is wrong. Lachlan opened the door wide open and walked in, then he found the switch with his hands and turned on the light in the house. That way, he was able to see her clearly. He was stunned to see the injuries both across her face and across the opened part of her body. It was worse than that if a few weeks ago when her father beat her. This time, her mouth were literally swollen and her body were full of wide marks. His fist clenched secretly. "Who did this to your?" He asked again with a dangerous look. "Don't worry about it, I'll be fine." She said, while walking in pain to the small couch in the living room. He went towards her. "Please...sit." she said. Her eyes had become swollen as a result of the tears. "Is it your father?" He asked, refusing to sit. "Don't worry about it." She repeated. "
She immediately put a call across to him, "Lachlan Williams will kill you this time."Carter laughed, "go ahead and tell him then."Octavia sighed. "The fuck do you want with me this time?""Just reminding you that our agreement is still on. I heard you've resumed work so I texted to remind you about our agreement. Make sure you connect Salome to Lachlan Williams and make it unsuspicious." Then he hung the phone. Octavia slammed her hand on the table angrily. "This bastard! I should have allowed Lachlan Williams to kill him." Should she tell Lachlan Williams about it? But why should she? They do not even have any close relationship. She doesn't think she has the right to keep bothering him about her problems. She then stood and went to his office but he wasn't on seat so she returned to her office and continued working. When it was lunch hour, before going to grab some snacks, she decided to check on him again. This time, he was having a visitor so she went to the company's restau
When Octavia resumed work the following day, she did a few stuffs on her computer after which she stood from her seat. Her plan was to go and tell Lachlan Williams that she's now better than she was and that she's ready to live with him. She had missed her kids so badly and can't wait to see them. However, when she got to his entrance of his office, she noticed it was locked. Weird! How come he didn't come to work today? He's not a type that skip work for any reason. Is he okay? She thought. She didn't even know why she care for his well-being? Perhaps because he's her baby daddy or... Octavia went to Benjamin's office and then greeted after which she asked, "hi, Mr. Benjamin. I do not think Lachlan came to work.""He did not. He went to his father's party at Russia.""Oh!" Was all that left her mouth. "Alright. I just thought it was right to ask about him since he's mostly around."Benjamin nodded, "did your sister not inform you they were travelling together?""Travelling? My sis
After Octavia had sat before him, he started, "I want to say this before you hear it from your sister." He paused. "Your sister and I shared a night together during our travel. It wasn't intentional, It never crossed my mind but it happened." He continued. "I felt you may think I abused her if she tells you directly but that's not the case. I think we were both very drunk.""You slept with Salome?" Octavia asked with rage building up in her heart. "I had sex with her." He stated. Octavia's jaw clenched and she almost busted out in anger. She felt a whole lot of emotions that she never thought she'd felt. She gritted her teeth and grunted, "arghhh!""I know you are angry with me. I know...but...""It's okay. I should take my leave." Then she stood and walked out. It wasn't Lachlan Williams she was angry at, it was that bitch, Salome. She must have planned everything. What a slut! She barged into her office and went directly to her, "you fucking prostitute!" She grabbed her by the
Octavia furrowed her brow. Thinking about the hidden meaning behind his words, she assumed that them going for dinner doesn't necessarily mean Benjamin has a thing for her, but for another obvious reason. "I'm in."Benjamin smiled. About twenty minutes later, they both arrived at the restaurant. Soon, they were in, seated. Octavia had seen where Salome and Lachlan Williams were seated but those two were yet to see her. "So tell me, why did you assault your sister?""Firstly, I'll prefer if you just refer to her as 'Salome.' Our relationship has never been good. She's the real daughter of my father while I'm the fake. We both dislike each other.""Is that why you assaulted her?"She looked away for a while then sighed, "do you know how to keep secret?""No. But you have to tell me anyways," he scoffed. Octavia smiled, "well... I don't like how that bitch is getting too close to Lachlan Williams. The fact that I even introduced her to him is making it hurt more."She added, "did yo
