THAT MORNINGThe first thing Olivia did that morning was to drive straight to Maynard's house. Rushing out of the car, she raced inside to tell him the new information she got as that is the only evidence to exposing Vernes.At least now, She's sure Maynard would believe her, no doubt and for the information she got, Vernes needs to be arrested."Maynard... " She called aloud, rushing up to his room but she found nobody in and the entire house was empty.Going down the stairs she met Henry and inquired about his boss."He left in a rush last night Ma'am and hasn't returned home since then"" What do you mean he left home since last night? Where did he go too? Did he say a word? " She asked worriedly." Not a word ma'am, I asked to go with him but he declined my request. Seems like it was something really important"Confusion etched on Olivia's face. Where would Maynard rush off to at that time of the night? Why isn't he back yet?She pulled out her phone and placed a call through to h

Vernes slumped down on the bed, closing her eyes as her heart kept beating rest fast. That was really a close call, the police would have caught her red handed and imprisoned her for her crime.Not now! She'd never let herself get arrested, not until she succeeds in getting Olivia out, even if she can't get Maynard, Olivia doesn't have to be the happy one.She stood up and began to pace to and fro, thinking of what next to do. She managed to lodge at a motel, because lodging at an hotel, the police would easily trace her, that's if they're out there searching for her.She really can't go out freely anymore!!She has no choice but to get on with her plan B as soon as possible, without wasting anymore time. FEW DAYS LATERThings have been going pretty for both Maynard and Olivia and they both have moved on from Vernes, not completely tho but Olivia is still very vigilant about her surrounding.Stepping into the industry, Olivia got welcomed by her colleague. It's been quite a while

Olivia snapped her eyes open with a loud gasp, realizing that she's back to her room, she sighed in relief and closed she eyes, breaking into tears as the traumatic events of last night flashed through her mind.She couldn't take it.. It was all too sad and heartbroken. To think that Vernes lured her into getting raped.. What exactly did Vernes gain by doing this? just to have Maynard to herself, she'd go this extra miles?If only Maynard had picked up when she called? If only she thought about everything well to know that it was all just a trick. None of this would have happened.. She would not have gotten raped.Suddenly, the door pushed open and Maynard stepped in but stood by the door. They lock gaze and Olivia could only stare back at him and feel like disappearing into thin air. She lowered her head after a while, not being able to look at him anymore. She feels so embarrassed, more like she's the most filthy human being on earth. What could be going through his mind right now?

The press conference started in full swing, with the reporters lined up and cameras rolling.Olivia stood in front of the camera facing numerous reporters and journalist. She felt really nervous, facing those reporters and right now, she wished for the ground to open and swallow her up or perhaps, she could vanish into thin air.Somehow,she felt it was really a bad idea agreeing to the press conference, now she's too scared to begin. She has no idea what to say. Will these reporters believe whatever she says?Mr Harper noticed her quietness and he quickly rushed to her and whispered into her ears, reminding her that the reporters were waiting and she shouldn't keep them waiting further.Olivia looked at Sage and he gave her a curt nod and a thumbs up, urging her to go ahead and speak up.She closed her eyes, sucking in a lot of breath. This is a live stream and everyone is currently watching her. If she keeps fidgeting without saying anything then they'd believe the video completely.

CHAPTER 99 :- More complicated situation.Sage drove straight to the hospital, he jumped out of his car and entered the hospital. He was too busy getting the assassin and finding out who the killer is that he completely forgot Olivia would be alone.She must be really devastated right now.His eyes searched before they finally landed on a woman whose head was lowered and her knees curled up."Olivia?" He called out and she lifts her head up to look at him. Walking towards her in long strides he found her face coated in dry tears and her eyes red from crying so long.Without saying a word, he pulled her into a comforting hug and she burst into tears once again."it could have been me Sage, it could have been me lying on that bed in a the brink of death but he took the bullet for me " Olivia said sobbing silently."it's okay. shhhh shhhh. everything is going to be fine I promise, just calm down. am sure Maynard will be fine..."As soon as he said that, the door to the ICU opened and the
