Second Chance with Mr.Right Chapter 24
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

ANDREWMy eyes almost popped out of its socket when I saw the total revenue written at the bottom of the paper!$750,000,000.How on earth does one realize such an amount of money in a month?!My father was making a hell of an income from…….I couldn't say.I still wasn't sure how the business ran.I sat underneath his office desk in the house, hiding while I turned on my torch on the file with the almighty tag 'Xn'.I went through the file page by page, reading every single thing word by word and keeping it to memory.Robert Huxley, my father was an investor and he also had the superpower of persuading to invest. But there was something he had that the others didn't have and they failed to realise until it was too late.Information. He utilized the power of information to acquire money not only legally but also illegally from others and their investments.He controlled their losses and manipulated their wins.He had the luxury of doing that because the investment platform was his.O

ELLIOT“Magazine?”Oh please.Who would be so foolish to go into a stinkingly rich man's house only to read a magazine?What kind of person do I have as a brother?“Oooh,”I sighed. A sigh of calmness, joy, and relief.Another day of taking out of my father's huge amount of stacked cash without being caught or perhaps confronted by anybody.For some reason, I can't seem to get it out of my head.I remember Andrew didn't even move or try to check what I was doing.Isn't he moved by the large sum of money Dad has in that drawer?Whoo! I can't overlook it.The money calls to me every day and I shall keep answering.I wish I could have it all.I am in no rush though. I am the first son so everything belongs to me.His companies, his offices, his cars, his loaded bank accounts, and the treasures within; all belong to me.Shit! I just remembered we have an outing with Father.He was going to introduce me to some of his business associates.I wasn't the formal type but the Huxley family had

Present timeOLIVIAThis is the third time.Third time in five days, the same dream, the same nightmare.I feel I am suffering from a trauma.Call it whatever; an emotional trauma as it may seem.It is gradually becoming a norm.Ever since I got that threat note, I have been nothing but disturbed every time.Every single time I close my eyes, all I see is those words replaying in my head.“My doom” What does that even mean?What exactly have I done to deserve those words?Is this because of Andrew?After facing a whole hazard streak of a life with Liam, now I am face to face with another.Another episode as I would like to call it.I woke up that early morning scared to put myself back to sleep.It was 4 am on a Saturday.It was the weekend and Andrew made arrangements already on how we would spend our day together.Today, he would spoil me with numerous gifts, the next day, more gifts, and other days, surprise outings and celebrations.There was never a dull moment with Andrew.Even

CHAPTER 29ANDREWI think he saw us.If not Elliot then probably just I alone.Anyway, I got there first so I am probably the one he saw.My father.I'm certain of it.He knew we sneaked into his office last night.Did he know all these while that Elliot was stealing from him?Dad was a man of words. He sometimes speaks in parables and codes.He never says anything too direct.You just have to decipher it yourself else you will be confused trying to understand it plainly as it comes.I was scared but Elliot wasn't.I knew something I was not sure Dad wanted anyone else to know.I wanted to share what I had discovered with someone.Elliot wasn't a good option.Maybe I should tell Mother but what if she already knows and just covering up for her stinkingly wealthy husband?Just what if?I thought about it as I gently sat in one corner at the venue sipping the cocktail drink that was served.Dad walked around shaking virtually everyone at the occasion.It was like the meeting of billiona

CHAPTER 30ANDREWOh, shoot! Mom heard what I said.“Son what did you just say?” she asked again in a low tone as I stood up to get to the stage with my brother.I saw the look on her face. It was intentional.And she was just waiting for me to talk.My brother was quick to rush to the stage. He was a huge fan of the spotlight. The first son of the Huxley family and heir to the Huxley Empire.What more do we expect?He had already climbed to the stage at the mention of his honorable name.My mom was dragging my suit, trying to get my attention stylishly but I didn't respond to her.I just walked away smiling at the people who couldn't just stop staring.The clout. The paparazzi.And yes again, the special attention!I tried as much as I could to avoid my mother's face as I stood on the stage while my father was around, shaking hands with his wealthy friend who came up to congratulate him.Another marking day for us.“Robert, you bought Xn, the same company wrecking you including us, y

CHAPTER 31Present time,OLIVIA“What a beauty!” I said in a low tone as I stood in front of the company.Another branch of the Huxley’s company.“This is beautiful,” I whispered as I marvelled at the sight of the enormous building before me.Andrew had sent me here to represent him in a meeting. Sometimes, he makes me think I am more than who I am. I had refused to come here countless times before I finally agreed to accept today.As much as I am trying to avoid the trouble and envy of the other staff, I do not regret coming here.I love what I see.Here I am, a representative of the Huxleys’ business.Me. Daughter of nobody now standing as a representative amongst the most influential men and women in the city to discuss business.“Oh God! I humbly ask for your help. Whatever happens, I don’t want to fuck up,” I said as I walked majestically and carefully into the building.I wore a black jacket suit and a royal blue skirt. By the pocket side of the jacket is a big button that was p
