Nathan I walked out of the dining room yesterday after what I said to Claudia and I don't regret a word. Yeah, I was harsh but Claudia deserved it, we haven't said anything to each other after that night two years ago when I caught her screwing her manager in my penthouse, She thought I was still on a business trip. I had simply walked away and she never followed up or apologize till recently when she started texting and calling. I had ignored her, I thought she got the message. I stayed with her even when she was lazy in bed but she had gotten her pleasure somewhere else, I had not dated anyone ever since. I pick one or two women in a club once in a while. Mum brought her here, She still wants me and Claudia to be together. All worked for good when she accepted Claire yesterday. I was already contemplating taking Olivia and Claire to my penthouse though I know that my mum and Leah won't be happy but now that everyone has accepted Claire, I don't
Olivia I can't believe I just ate seven cupcakes while I was so deep in thought. I felt so full, I have been speechless after Nathan left not waiting for my reply. He asked me out on a date! I remembered the day he asked us to hang out in high school and refused to show up, I can't just forget that day but it's all in the past now. As much as I would like to deny it, I can't help but notice that Nathan is changing and he has started calling me by my real name, He defended me in front of everyone and accepted Claire, what more could I ask for? I can't deny the fact that I was starting to like him and I was secretly happy to go on a date with him. I want to go see my mum today, Claire has been asking to see her. I picked Claire up and we went to my room. “We are going to see grandma today,” I said to Claire and she clapped her hands happily. “Yay! I will give her some of my candy She said showing me the candies she kept in the pi
Nathan I ran my hands through my hair sighing heavily, I have been going through a lot of paperwork, and I am starting to get frustrated. The day is moving slowly and I have been checking my wristwatch every minute. I have a date with Olivia, I just couldn't wait. I will finally be able to apologize to her and make things right, If I am lucky she would forgive me. I can see both of us on my yacht, with Olivia in a red bikini looking so sexy, Me holding her from the back kissing her neck, and whispering soft words to her... I snapped out of my daydream when my office door swung open and Claudia walks in, I sighed in annoyance. What the hell was she doing here? I thought I made it clear that I never want to see her again, After what I said to her I did not expect to see her in my office. she had interrupted my daydream, and I was honestly not in the mood for her shenanigans. I checked my time and it was already 5:41 oh shit! Already? I need to start going, I
Olivia I got back from the hospital and Leah was already impatiently waiting in my room. I had to beg her to let me prepare dinner so Claire could eat and go to bed since no one was at home, I guess they have all traveled again. I showered and Leah did my make-up and I was impressed, I felt beautiful. "Liv, put on the dress it's almost five," she said and I quickly put the dress and heels on. "Tada!" I said twirling and she laughed clapping her hands together. "You look beautiful Livvy," She said smiling brightly at me. "Thanks, Leah" I replied pulling her into a warm hug. "You are welcome, Nathan should be on his way by now," She said playing games on her phone. I checked my phone and it was already 6. I was getting restless, what if he stood me up again? "It's already 6, I wonder what's keeping him," she said worriedly looking up at me with furrowed brows. "Yeah" I replied faking a smile, I did not want her to see me restless. "I will go get some s
Leah I woke up to the feeling of something sliding across my nose. It was so itchy, I was about to open my eyes when it stopped only for the itching to continue after two seconds. I opened my eyes unable to endure it anymore only to see Claire looking at me holding back laughter. "Goodness gracious, Claire!” I shouted shooting out of bed as I see a tiny form sitting on my chest. "You know how to wake someone up, don't you?" I said as I sneezed rubbing at my nose and looking at her laughing as she held a pink pencil that had a feather-like decoration. I am guessing she slid across my nose causing mild irritation which woke me up alarmed. "I wanted to make sure you woke up with a smile, Aunt Leah! Did it work?" She said as I looked at her amused. She was already dressed in a purple jumpsuit with a white bow on her hair. "Oh, you succeeded, my little prankster. Now, can you go eat breakfast?." I replied ruffling her hair before kissing her on the forehead. "Okay,
Nathan What happened yesterday has left me feeling empty. The look I saw on her face and the way she rejected me left me frustrated. She was yelling angrily and all I could do was stare at her plush lips, I did not know what got into me but I had smashed my lips on hers and she had kissed me back with the same energy. I did not expect her to slap and push me away, that hurt more than anything. I sat on the balcony watching Olivia sitting in the garden. I had this urge to go to her and see if we could settle things but I stopped myself, It is not the right time she probably needed space. I poured myself more wine gulping furiously, I had finished drinking a bottle and I can't deny the fact that I had hardly slept yesterday, I looked and smelled like crap. I'm still in yesterday's clothes. I will have to shower, I need to go see Micheal today. Leah had walked in here angrily, She yelled at me and that surprised me. She had never spoken to me that way an
Olivia I watched Nathan walk away after paying the bills and I couldn't help but stare at him. Even though I did not tell him, I have forgiven him after that warm hug. I had to rest my head on his chest and wrapped my hands around him, I wanted to squeeze him tightly and never let go until Leah interrupted us. "Earth to Olivia!" Leah said snapping her fingers in my face, I glared at her in annoyance. "Were you thinking about my cousin?" She asked winking suggestively. "No," I said a little too fast, I cleared my throat adjusting in my seat. "Lies, I see lies everywhere" Leah replied waving her hands around, I scoffed she was just too dramatic. "I was thinking about Amanda," I replied lying through my teeth sipping my wine. "She was the one who called you at the hospital?" She asked more interested in the change of topic and I sighed in relief, I didn't want her asking about Nathan and me. "Yes, we could not talk for long though," I said smiling at her, I would have to call he
Nathan I sat uninterested in the conversations and delegations by the board members, only nodding once in a while to make it seem like I am listening. The large table contained twelve board members, my secretary who was sitting beside me typing, on her computer rapidly, and my PA standing beside her. My mind drifted back to Olivia who I had reluctantly left in the restaurant with Leah a few hours ago, I had forgotten about this meeting until George called to remind me that I was late which is unlike me, and now I am not paying attention which is also unlike me. "He is our major shareholder" I heard someone say but I am not listening, My hand is tracing circles on the table. "Sir," George whispered to me and I snapped my head up to see all the board members looking at me expectantly, they are probably deliberating on something. I cleared my throat sitting up. "What is it?" I said and mentally face-palmed myself, I just made it obvious that I wasn't listening.
