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
"Wait! I do not seem to be familiar with this place?" Octavia said. "You don't think I'm kidnapping you, do you?""With the way you've been acting ever since I'm back to town, I can think in such manner." Octavia responded. Cullan smiled briefly then turned towards another route and then, they appeared right before Ava and Carter's house. As soon as Cullan and Octavia stepped out, Octavia saw a man seated under the shed before the house. He had a cup containing a drink before him. "My dad got out so fast." "I'll do anything for you." Came Cullan's words. Octavia looked at him and said, "thank you.""You are welcome." Octavia didn't know whether to walk over to Carter under the shed or just go inside to search for her son. She decided to opt for the later, while heading towards the entrance, Carter called out, "Octavia!" His voice was loud and full of anger. She paused and turned to him. The man had now stood. "So you had the gut to arrest me?""And you had the gut to gather thu
Octavia returned home that day. When she got to the office the following day, she went to confront Lachlan Williams as soon as she heard he's around. "You are welcome, sir.""Prepare a coffee for me.""Got it." Octavia left the scene and went out. She came back a couple of minutes later with a cup of hot coffee. After handing it over to him, she said, "I didn't know you found Thor on the same day he got missing.""Do you know what being the CEO of the biggest company in New York means?"She sighed, "and I've just worked myself up over the weeks for nothing.""You could have simply asked me.""You weren't on seat. Also, I thought you were going to tell me as soon as you find him.""All the thugs who took him forcefully from his school are already in jail." He said. "And I've increased the protection around him. You can put your mind at ease, nothing of such will ever repeat itself. I'm more than capable to protect my son.""Can I see him, please? ""I thought I told you after three mon
"I don't seem to understand what's... going on with me. I only took a cup." She said, seriously trying not to fall off the seat. "Does it contain alcohol?""No, it's a pure wine, ma'am" the Sommelier responded. "You don't seem okay, sweetheart. Do you want me to drive you to your house?" Cullan asked."Yes, please." Was the last words she said before she crashed into his shoulder. Cullan smirked devilishly. He looked at the Sommelier and winked at him then carried Octavia on his shoulder, ready to take her to his car. "Drop her!" A man suddenly spoke from behind. The man was also seated on the long stool before the long table before the Sommelier. Cullan turned with Octavia hung across his shoulder, "you want to mind your business or shall I have my men teach you some lessons?"When the man raised his head up, Cullan swiftly dropped Octavia to the chair, "boss." "I take back my words, I'm so sorry. I would never have expected to meet you here." Cullan further pleaded. Lachlan Wi
