Second Chance with Mr.Right Chapter 18
ELLIOT POVEverytime I think about it, it makes me angry.It's been 6 months now since we lost dad to cancer.We knew how severe it was and how much he had spent on keeping himself healthy but death did its part.I knew he was going to lose it at the end but we had to keep encouraging him. At least my mother did that part.I just wanted to take over and be the boss.I mean, that's every first son's aspiration; to take over his father's business and run the family.Little did I know, things won't spin in my favour.It was a shameful afternoon for me that day.The will was to be ready a week after father's death and burial.The Huxleys and family friends were gathered at Dad's penthouse as we await the lawyer to read out the will in front of everyone.The look on my face as I stood in anticipation as the lawyer was about to utter those words.I can bet even the lawyer was surprised at what he saw.Dad must have changed it without his knowledge but how is that even possible?“All proper

OLIVIA“This is too much, Andrew.”“A car! It looks so expensive. I can't be in this. I can't drive this.”“Shhhhhh. Don't you dare say that! There is nothing too big for you to have as a personal property and I want you to ride in this to work every single day,” Andrew said in an assuring tone.“But I can't drive.....”“That shouldn't be a worry. I'd get you a driver and you would also learn during your free time.”I was excited.I felt like hugging him so tight and not letting go.It was as though he knew what was going on in my head as he spread his arms wide for a hug.I decided to make it more romantic and curled my hands gently around his neck and pushed in closely for a passionate kiss.We kept kissing till his phone's vibration interrupted the moment.“I'm sorry,” he said as he tried to mute the call.“You don't have to. Just pick up the call, Andrew,” I smiled.“The call can wait. I don't want this moment to end,” he smiled.We continued the mission but the calls kept interru

CHAPTER 20OLIVIA'S POV“Let not this day be a day of shame and disappointment for me, gracious God.”That ought to have been my prayer this very day before stepping out.What am I saying? Virtually, every day.But I failed at it already.The outcome was playing right to my face.I stood in shock as the whole thing played out.I could have sworn I wish I had superpowers.I would sink to the ground or just make myself invincible.The voice of Mrs Huxley overtook the office all of a sudden.I am at the mercy of virtually everyone here.“Why me?” I wondered. What did I do wrong?I was certain those files weren’t corrupted when I sent them.This day was going to be an unfortunate one for me.Mrs. Huxley wasn’t ready to hear anything.She raised her time at every instance she spoke a word.“She has to leave!”“She is nothing but a misfortune and she wants to ruin this company.”“They are all the same. Every one of them!”She won’t even let me speak.Andrew wasn’t smiling. His face was fro

CHAPTER 21LIAMI turned to Elliot in anger.“What do you mean it didn't work out?”“You told me you had this all worked out fine.”“See why I don't trust women. They don't deliver!”“Don't get me started, Mister. I won't have you speak to my mother and hoe in that manner,” he replied.“Just hear yourself, Elliot. You gave this job to a hoe?! I don't even understand what that means.“Well, she works with my brother. I have had sex with her multiple times so that's all she is to me.“Rosa was the only one who could have done the job. She had access to some of the things in the company as regards that contract.”“So why didn't this work out?” I asked out of frustration.“Well we planned it well but Andrew is just a dickhead. He refuses to send her away and I don't even know why he is not unstable at the moment.”“He feels so fucking relaxed even after everything.”I sighed.Andrew was already proving a tough one for us.The plan was to frame Olivia for corrupting the files; Andrew gets

CHAPTER 22OLIVIAI am amazed. Shocked and surprised.I am a whole lot right now.My emotions were all over the place like litters on the ground as Andrew shows me the electronic file on his PC.He had it all these while.He had created tens of copies already on his PC even before we had the final meeting on the contract.I was the backup. Incase he lost the file.And he was the backup Incase it was the other way round.“How smart of you!” I commended him with a smile.“You knew something like that might happen, didn't you?”“Well, let's just say I made my calculations even though I didn't, they would actually do this to me,” he responded.“What do you mean?” I asked, trying to figure out what he meant by the statement.“It displeases me to say I suspect Rosa is behind this.”“I don't know if my mother knows about it too but the secretary was bribed by Rosa to corrupt the files with an installed virus.” Andrew explained.My mouth widened in surprise.How could she think of that?Why w

ANDREWHow I wish we were already married. Living and dining together every single day.I can't wait to propose to her.The joy I feel whenever I am with her is unmatchable and I don't want that to fade.I planned to stay longer but my mother's call broke the fun.I wonder what is wrong with her. She was still okay and in good health earlier today.Now she is calling to tell me she is sick.I sat inside my car as I thought about my time with Olivia.She had left to go inside but I still stayed just to fantasize how more of what we had would have been like.My phone rang again.It was my baby sister, Andria.“Hello, Andria. Are you at home?”“Yes, I'm with Mom. She is ill, Andrew. Are you also coming to the house?”“Don't worry. I'm on my way already. I'll join you both soon.”Mother never got sick for once.She was that woman who was particular about the health and hygiene of the people around her.Even when my father was sick then, she was particular about his healthy lifestyle and

OLIVIAWho did this?I looked around to see if anyone was watching but there was no one.Practically nobody but me.Who then dropped such a note in front of my door?A threat note.Am I safe here?Am I safe in this house?I went back to the main gate to check if Andrew's car was parked outside but it wasn't.Andrew can't make such an expensive joke with me.It's not his thing to do such.“Could it be Stella?”After that stunt she pulled with the car accident, I had chosen not to check on her anymore or even call her and she had also done the same.“No, she can't be the one. She doesn't know this pl….” I thought to myself.A sound rented the air.My heart almost jumped out.I became scared. Only for me to realize it was just the sound of the honking of a moving car.I no longer feel at ease here.I called Andrew.That was the only thing I could do at that moment.I am more or less like a stranger in this vicinity.I know practically nobody around here.No friend and hardly do I talk to

ANDREWTen years ago.Love is indeed a beautiful thing.The love of my father was one of a kind.He loved us and cared for us; my brother and my mother.Robert Huxley. My father was a business lord during his time.There was not a single day influential men and women wouldn't pay us a visit in the house. Some do not only come for mere visits but to get business advice and investment strategy from him.He was an intelligent man, powerful and stinkingly rich.His wealth and impact awarded him fame in the business economy and a front seat amongst power holders in the city.There was practically no one that didn't know my father.Even I, Andrew Huxley, respected him so much that I sometimes do not see him as a father but as someone who could help me reach my business dreams.He gave us virtually everything we need. Clothes, shoes, houses, cars, just name it. Whatever we wanted, he bought and made sure it was the latest model/newly released.But something about him seemed off. I saw this
