Maynard felt weak in the knees when Olivia gave her final words and walked away. His eyes were fixed on her... Has he really lost the chance? Was he really too late? Just as Olivia got to her car and was about to get in, Maynard noticed a man dressed in black with a mask on, moving towards Olivia slowly and quietly with a ride in his hands.Maynard's heart skipped and his eyes grew open and he did the first thing that came to his mind and that was saving Olivia.He ran towards them pushed the man down before he could carry out his aim. If he was even a second late, Olivia would have been on the floor, groaning in pain.Maynard and the man got into a fist fight, he kept raining punches on the man's face annoyed that Olivia was almost attacked in his presence.Olivia's hands flew over to her mouth and she watched in shock. Wasn't this all over? Is she still being followed by the so-called stalker fan? It's been months since the last attack and since she moved in with Sage, there hasn'

THAT EVENINGOlivia got off the phone with Lucy who had just advised her to go see Maynard. Right after Maynard left her office, she kept battling with her thoughts.She kept thinking and contemplating if she should go on the so-called date with him or not. Actually, she didn't want to but like he said, it's only to repay the favor he did by saving her life countless times.Olivia sought for Lucy's advise and she was advised to give him a chance.With a sigh, she left for the bathroom to freshen up after reassuring herself that it's just an ordinary date and nothing much, she's not gonna stay long either.Olivia had a quick bath and dressed up in something beautiful but not really meant for dinner, after all, she's not meeting up with her boyfriend or anything.She pulled out the gift Maynard had gotten on her birthday and decides to try it on for the very first time. She reassured herself that it's just a gift and nothing attached.She just wants him to see that she didn't dispose it

The next few days, Olivia buried herself in work, trying to forget the night she got ditched. She got pretty affected by it, even though she don't want to think about it.She was ready to listen to him.. To listen to why he had to do that to her 2 years ago and maybe forgive him but he played with those chances.Maynard has always been that way... His ways aren't trusted. From the way he played with her feelings and didn't return to plead for forgiveness until just few months back, then he suddenly wants her back!!She should have known he was up to something... She shouldn't have fallen for his mischievous ways.What would Maynard achieve putting her through so much trouble? Hasn't he done enough already?Olivia stretched out her limbs and got off the bed, wearing her flip-flops and heads out of her room, calling out Lucy's name and rubbing her sleepy eyes.It's been few days and she hasn't been to work, reason been that she decided to take some few days off to get some rest and she

THE FOLLOWING MORNINGMaynard slowly reached for her cheeks caressing it slightly so as not to wake her up. He gently moved some strands of her hair behind her ears and smiled. He loved it when her pretty face was the first thing he saw when he woke up and he couldn't stop staring.Last night, he felt her warmth as she took care of him. Nothing about her changed at all, tho she try to act all tough and strong headed but deep down, she's a sweet little kitten who cares alot for others regardless.She still cares about him but tries to hide it.. Maynard couldn't help but chuckle. If she doesn't care about him like she claimed, why else would she stay but his side without leaving. There's still a chance after all.. Olivia shuts her eyes tightly as she felt a hand caressing her cheeks softly. She loved it at first but after realizing who that could be, she snapped her eyes open at once.She lifts herself up in a sitting position and seeing Maynard, she immediately began to feel his t

None of Olivia's forgiveness would have happened if Lucy hadn't intervened. All thanks to Lucy for doing what she did.He has never been so excited like he is right now. Like, this should be just happiest day ever and getting back home, he feels really refreshed."Never in my entire life have I seen you this happy. I cringe at the thought of what would happen if she had refused to forgive you"Maynard stopped dancing and faced Mark... He seemed to be thinking about Mark's last statement."I'd have been a shadow of myself for the rest of my life if that had happened. You honestly don't know what she has done to me Mark, She's my life now"Mark grinned widely.. "I love the sound of that. Now, this is the Maynard I've been searching for this past few years.."Maynard chuckled... Mark is absolutely right. This happy and fulfilled Maynard right now has been locked behind for so long, wasting his precious time flirting around with some woman.Vernes brought nothing but sadness into his life
