At work on a fresh and glowing Monday morning, Octavia was a finding it a little bit hard to focus on her work. While she was at it, she received an internal telephone call, seeing that it was from Lachlan Williams, she answered at once. "How many of the files have you translated?" Came his cold voice. "I just finished the third one.""Will it take you four years to translate seven files?" He asked unpleased. Before she could say another word, he commanded. "Meet me downstairs at the parking lot." Then the call came to an end. Octavia exhaled. It was true that she was slow in translating the files, it's only because she has not been fully focused. No matter how she tried to focus, her mind kept on trailing back to her meeting with Cullan yesterday. She just couldn't get his words out of her head. Soon, Octavia was downstairs, walking towards the parking lot. She then saw a Mercedes Maybach driving towards her, once it parked before her, the window came down and Lachlan Williams
Octavia angrily went back inside the cafe, seeing Cullan still seated, she rushed towards him, "what are you doing here?""Hi, Octavia," he greeted with a calm smile. "I believe anyone can come to the cafe at any time to eat?" Octavia smirked evily, still standing, "Why are you stalking me? You have your life all put together ever since I dissapeared many years ago, why are you suddenly acting as if you can't do without me. This has to stop!""The client we met with told me you are the reason why he couldn't proceed with the deal he had with my boss. Are you trying to make my life difficult or what?" Octavia poured. He leaned to the table and said, "I will never try to make your life hard, Octavia. All I want is the best for you." "Can you please sit?""This isn't a date. I'm not seating. What exactly do you want? Cause I need you to leave me the fuck alone!" "It's true I pulled some strings to stop the man from closing up the deal with Lachlan, but I did it cause I want you to st
"No. And how sure are you the kid is yours though?"He picked up a document on his table and dropped it before her. Octavia picked it up and realized it was a DNA proof. "Still want to lie?""I didn't know you were going to accept him.""You think I will reject my son? I have everything in the world to take care of him. You hid my son from me for good five years."Octavia sighed, "I'm sorry." She will have to plead with Thor when she gets home to keep the identity of the other children a secret. "Can you please not make it public that the children are yours? I don't want those enemies of yours to come after my son."Lachlan Williams relaxed to the couch and declared, "forget about Thor. You may go now."Octavia asked bewilderedly, "may I ask what you mean by that?""It means you may never get to see him again. Don't think I'll let the fact that you kept my child away from me for years slide." "You can't take him away from me." Elianor's voice broke. This was one of the reasons why
Octavia noticed a change in Cullan's expression but she ignored. "I believe you are not here because of me?" Cullan ignored her question and said, "is that why you think our relationship can't work again?""What are you talking about?""The fact that you have a child for another man doesn't mean we can't make it work again. Infact if you had told me earlier about it, I would take your son as mine.""Listen Cullan. Trying to bring a relationship that died six years ago into life is not logical. It's a sailed ship. Stop wasting both of our times." Octavia explained. "I can't be with you anymore." "I know I wasn't particularly the perfect husband when we were married but I'm willing to correct all my flaws now."Octavia huffed in frustration, "I'm done here." It seemed as if no matter how she tells him that this can't work again, he will never understand. It seems he's deluded. She suddenly remembered her promise to Lachlan about getting that client back for the company. She paused an
When Lachlan Williams and the pretty lady got before Octavia, Lachlan spoke, "Amelia, meet Octavia, my new assistant.""Hey Octavia, "Amelia greeted with a welcoming smile. "Hi, miss. Amelia." Octavia greeted back politely. Soon, they were all inside the car. This time, Octavia was seated at the seat beside the driver's seat while Lachlan Williams and Amelia sat at the backseat. "You didn't just come here to have fun, do you? Father sent you." Lachlan Williams said to her. Amelia smiled, "We'll talk in private. By the ways, your assistant is very beautiful." "I guess beauty lies in the face of its beholder." Came his reply. Octavia couldn't help but look back, her face squared with that of Lachlan before she took it away. "That's too much. She's here.""I'm only spitting fact." Lachlan insisted on what he said. 'Hummm... still the same icy man I've always known." Amelia said into the air. Octavia was dropped back at the company while she watched Lachlan's car drove off. It wa
Later in the evening, Octavia received a text and seeing that it was from Cullan, she opened it anyways. Cullan had said in the message that if he wants to gets her son back, he could help. Octavia quickly put a call across to him, "do you know where Lachlan Williams lives?" She went straight to the point. "It gladdens my soul to hear from you, love. Yes, I know his house address." Cullan responded. Octavia heaved a heavy sigh of relief. "How can you help me take my son from him?" Although she wasn't in good terms with him, she wouldn't mind using him to get what she wants. "All you have to do is ask and your son will be with you tomorrow."Octavia was surprised, "and what will you want in return?""Come on, Octavia. What do you take me as? You are the love of my life, I'll do anything for you. Even if it means laying down my life. Octavia, I just want to see you happy always.""I'm not the love of your life. But please help me get my son."Cullan responded after a few seconds of
"Sending me out of my home city, huh?" Octavia snickered. "You can't tell me what to do. You lost that right a long time ago.""Cullan and Salome are two grown adults, they can decide what's best for them. What makes you think I have any power to influence their relationship?" Octavia continued. "If Cullan could easily cancel a wedding that had cost a lot to make happen, that only speaks one thing, that the whole marriage between them is just a facade, a fallacy, it's not real." She added. "Perhaps, your daughter is forcing himself on Cullan.""You!" The man gritted his teeth in rage. "Watch how you speak to me. I'm still your father.""Technically, no. If there's nothing else to talk about, I'll take my leave." Octavia stood. "Octavia!" The man stood in anger, "You must do as I've said. Infact, go inside now and apologize to Salome."Octavia cackled, "That's not going to happen, Mr. Carter.""Oh really?""Yes. It's not going to happen. Your daughter is nothing but a slut! A fornica
Her eyes furrowed in fright and shock. Release of her son? How did she even find out she had children. "What son?"You have twelve hours to get my husband out. Dirty whore!" Then the woman walked out. Octavia lost balance immediately. Which of her children has that woman taken? She immediately called the class teachers of the five kids in school. The class teacher confirmed that the five kids were in school. Could it be Thor then? Isn't Thora supposed to be with Cullan? She immediately dialed Cullan's number and once he answered, she asked, "where's my son?""I kept him with his grandma.""What fucking grandma!" She screamed. "I don't have good relationship with my dad and mom. How could you?""But I'm in the office, can't possibly bring him here. After my men hijacked him from the new school Lachlan enrolled him into, I had them take him to a place I think is safe. The last thing I want for your son is for him to feel frightful and traumatized. I couldn't possibly keep him with m
