Second Chance with Mr.Right Chapter 41
CHAPTER 41ANDREWMy ears tingled at the sound of that familiar voice."Who would dare storm into the office like that?" I thought.Looking back, it was Uncle Joe. My father's closest friend whom he calls his brother."I said stop the merry!" He shouted."How dare you throw a party for a son without his father present?" He jested as he threw his arms around me."Uncle Joe!" I said."I never knew you were back.""Well, surprise! Or aren't you happy to see me?" I said"Of course I am, Uncle Joe. When did you arrive in New York City?""A few days ago, son. Here, I got you a present," he said, bringing out a brown envelope from his right pocket.What is this?What is he doing?I smiled. "Uncle Joe," I called out as I tried to unseal the envelope.I was quite anxious. The last person I got a gift from was my dad and that was the most expensive car in the city.I wonder what Uncle Joe had planned.I saw another brown paper inside the envelope and I brought it out to read the contents."Unc

SOME YEARS BACK,ROBERT HUXLEYI can't keep living like this.I just can't.My wife.My children. How do I take care of them?Working in Dunes isn't paying me so well.I can't be doing this. Working from morning till night only to be paid a chicken fee.I need to find a solution.A workable one."So what do you intend to do?" Joe said.Joe was my friend.A colleague who studied the same course as me; Accountancy.We were potential big boys. That was what he had always called us from school.He was richer. But I was never envious of his wealth and how comfortable he lived.Countless times I paid him visits. We ate and drank together and even made merry.That question rang aloud in my head."What do I intend to do?"I had no answer to that question.Not even at this moment. I was pretty confused. Clueless of what to do next."Joe, you have to help me out. I need your help," I started."What's that, friend?" He asked with an expression that showed utmost concern."I want to make money

Chapter 43Robert HuxleyI saw that look on Joe's as we approached the farmer's shop or whatever it is he called that place.That look you give a servant when his master is about to show him the secret of his possessions."Is everything alright, Joe?" I asked.He nodded in response. "Please don't fuck this up for me. I have a reputation to protect, Robert," he replied."Don't worry about nothing, Joe. I can do this. I won't let you down," I answered in haste.As we got in, there were a lot of men operating several computers and electronic devices as well as ladies who were dressed half-naked, caressing the men as they worked."What's this place?" I whispered to Joe."The farmhouse."It was nothing like a farmhouse. I was this close to turning back until something caught my attention; a pile of dollars.It must be like a million bucks. How does someone have such an amount of money and leave it lying around carelessly?"You look at that? It's nothing," one of the men interrupted.He we

Robert Huxley“Come here son,” I said to my second son, Andrew.I knew about what he and his brother had been doing whilst I was supposedly asleep or not looking.But there was something else I noticed.Whilst my eldest son was after the stack of cash in my cupboard, Andrew was more interested in my secret business, project X; my very main source of income.“Is there anything you want to talk to me about?” I asked him.“No.. no….no, Dad,” he stammered.“Are you sure about that?” I asked further.This time around, he kept quiet.He paused for a while and answered in haste afterward “No, Dad.”I put my arms around his neck and walked him to the garden just at the corner of the house.“You and your elder brother have been messing around my office lately,” I started.I saw the surprised look on his face when I said that. He tried to deny it but I acted like I believed him.I know your elder brother has been stealing from me but I don't have any issue with that. “It's my money and I am wo

Olivia's POVI don't know why I have to live this kind of life. For years I thought I would end up in a loving marriage but here I was, fighting for my life daily. I hated this life I was living but I felt I had to hang on. I couldn't just give up like that. For the past six years, I hoped, prayed and thought everything would be better by now but Liam only grew worse day by day. I groaned in pain as I searched around for my phone. I made sure I was as quiet as possible. I didn't want to give away my hiding spot. I have taken enough beating and insults for one day. As soon as I reached my phone, I dialled Stella's number as fast as I could, with my hands trembling. I squeezed the phone to my ears as though it would make her pick up the call earlier than normal. "Hey, what's up Olivia?" Her bright voice said from the other end of the phone. "Liam started again. He even hit me worse than the last time." I said, sobbing gently and I heard her sigh from the other end of the phone. I fe

Olivia's POVI sat still in the corner where I was as the basement door flew open. I could hear his footsteps as he descended the stairs, and turned on the light. I held my breath, silently praying he wouldn't find me but it wasn't answered. "There you are my little mouse." He said as he grabbed my feet and dragged me from underneath the stairs where I sat. I raised my hand in defence as he squatted before me. "You look all bruised."He saw my swollen ankle and shook his head. "A sprained ankle too. Let's get you to the hospital." He said with a sweet smile and I crawled back. "I promise, I won't raise my hands on you. I am sorry for hurting you, let me just take you to the hospital.""So you'll beat me up again after? I'd rather die from this pain than be treated and get beaten again." I said, crawling back under the stairs but he grabbed my waist and threw me over his shoulder before carrying me out of the basement. "Let go of me. Put me down." He didn't listen as he carried me in

Olivia's POVI couldn't quite register what happened after that but I felt someone lift me from the ground as I slowly lost consciousness. I hoped my child was okay as I slowly fell into total darkness. The next thing I knew was waking up with beeping sounds in the distance. I didn't know where I was or what was happening, I just knew I felt pain in my stomach. "Olivia, can you hear me?" I heard the doctor's voice slowly coming nearer and I fully opened my eyes. "How are you feeling?" She asked and I pointed to my stomach. "My… my… child." I managed to say and the look on her face told me everything I needed to know. I shook my head in denial as my whole world came crashing down. "I'm sorry Olivia, your fall affected the child and the child couldn't make it." She said to me and tears rolled down my eyes. This couldn't be happening. The slightest hope I had to hold on to was gone, again. "I told you about Liam, Olivia. If you've listened, maybe your child would still be alive now."
Second Chance with Mr.Right Chapter 4
Olivia's POVAnd again, I woke up to sounds of beeping but this was more than a machine. I felt different tubes connected to my body and there was an oxygen mask on my face. "She's awake. Call the doctor." I heard a voice say and a few people in white rushed in. "Miss, are you feeling any pain?" The man asked me as he checked up on me. I slowly shook my head and he took the mask off my face. My breathing was slow and it took me a while to finally get used to breathing. It felt like I hadn't done it in years. "What happened?" I asked."You were hit by a car and you have been out for over two days." He explained to me and I looked at him, stunned. "A young man brought you here. He isn't here at the moment but he paid for all your medical bills."I looked around the room and just by the look, I could tell it was a VIP ward and would have been very expensive. "Since you are not feeling any pain and just went into a shock, you should be okay in two days and be ready to be discharged." H
