Chapter 17.
"Mr. Storm is going to be the first person to spin the bottle." Nora said.
Woo
The smile on Jace's face vanished instantly. He was expecting to be the first person to spin the bottle, but Oliver got that chance. He stared at Oliver coldly.
Oliver nodded as he picked up the bottle and sipped it immediately.
Woosh.
The bottle started spinning as all eyes were focused on it, waiting to see who it fell on.
Logan's eyes widened as she stared at the bottle's movement.
After a few seconds, the bottle stopped spinning as it pointed at someone.
All eyes were now on Logan. The bottle stopped in her direction, meaning she was now supposed to kiss Oliver—or the other way around.
"Oh my, this guy is really lucky; he even gets to kiss Logan," the others blurted out.
"Jace, what's wrong with you?" Nora asked in a cold tone. Logan, whose eyes were now opened, started to get angry. Of course, she was aware that Jace was only doing this because he was jealous. He had tried all ways to prove his love to her, but she never felt the same way about him. Seeing Jace jealous, she felt like pouring kerosene into his jealous flames. "Jace, thank you for this, but you can't decide for me, and yes, I want Oliver to kiss me." Poof Jace's expression turned cold; he was trying all ways to destroy this, but now Logan herself approved of it. "It's all his fault." "If I don't take you to task later, then you can change my name." He murmured. Seeing Jace's expression, Oliver didn't know whether to laugh or cry; he felt the anger boiling in Jace's body, but he didn't put it in his eyes. "Logan, think about..." Jace didn't finish his sentence when Logan raised her hand to signal him to stop talking. "Of course I'm ready for this," she said as she stood up and
"Oliver, it's all because of you. Your bad luck has affected my daughter. "I promise, if something happens to Zelda, I'll make sure you're jailed for the rest of your life.""Mom, what are you talking about?" "What happened to Zelda?" Oliver asked anxiously.He didn't understand why his mother-in-law would just call him and blame him for something he knew nothing about."You still dare ask me questions?""I swear in this hospital I am now that if something happens to Zelda, I won't spare you." Immediately after this, the call was disconnected."Hello mom," he tried calling out, but the call had already been dropped."Why did mom mention the hospital?""Could it be that something has happened to Zelda?"Thinking of this, Oliver panicked. Although their marriage wasn't a love one, he truly loved and cared much about Zelda.Without wasting time, he rushed back into the hall where Logan and the others were.Seeing Oliver's anxious face, they were all confused."Mr. Storm, is there any pro
Logan bid him good-bye and drove away. Oliver entered the hospital after that. It didn't take long for him to see his mother-in-law."My mother-in-law is here, which means my guess was right; has something happened to Zelda?" Thinking of this, he walked in Abigail's direction.When Abigail saw Oliver, she became furious at that moment."You useless brat, what do you want here?" She asked the question coldly.For someone like Oliver, it wasn't the first time hearing Abigail's harsh words. For the past two years living in the Ellison's manor, he had gone through hell at her hands."Mom, what happened to my wife?" He asked.Hearing Oliver address Zelda as his wife, she stomped on her foot."How dare you call her your wife? Didn't Zelda tell you she didn't want to see you anymore?"Just then, Alex walked in. After arranging the money, he went to pay the bills. Alex was the same person who asked Abigail to call Oliver and blame him for everything because he was bad luck."What do you wan
The person who opened the door was none other than Oliver.Seeing someone enter without knocking, Megan frowned."How dare you enter without permission?" She coldly asked."Wow"Oliver was stunned upon seeing Megan. That was his first time seeing her. She looked very beautiful. Even though she was in a uniform, it still couldn't hide her alluring curves. And this being her personal office, the room was filled with a nice scent."I'm really sorry for barging in here, but please, I do need permission to go to the emergency unit." Oliver requested."How rude; you barged into my office without my permission, and you wanted me to grant you permission to visit the emergency room?""Doctor.."Oliver didn't finish his words when Megan yelled at him."Leave my office now or I will call the security guards."Seeing that she wasn't ready to grant him permission, Oliver took a step forward and held her hands."Doctor, my wife is in the emergency unit, and I need to see her." After saying this, he
Chapter 22Oliver was stunned to see Doctor Megan at the entrance. His focus was on Zelda, and he failed to notice that someone had entered the room.Seeing Megan, Oliver quickly asked."Doctor, what happened to my wife?" As of now, Oliver was still not sure what had happened to Zelda to land her in the emergency room."This lady is your wife?" Megan asked with a stern face.When Oliver came to her office earlier on to ask for a permit to see his wife, she didn't know that the lady who was rushed into the emergency room was the one he was referring to.Hearing her question, he nodded."If he's your wife, why did the other gentleman who came to foot the bill also claim to be her husband?" Hearing this, Oliver was confused."Another person claiming to be Zelda's husband?" Who could it be? Oliver thought.After some time, a name popped into his head. "Alex? I remember him telling my mother-in-law that he had footed the bill and that he was the only person who would claim to be Zelda's
Meanwhile, somewhere around Boston Hill, a beautiful lady dressed in a nightgown was seated on a sofa, pressing her phone. Despite the fact that she was wearing a normal nightgown, her curves still looked alluring.She was Ynes Larkin, the young mistress of Boston Hills' Larkin family.Just then there was a knock on the door."Young mistress, may I come in?""Come in." Ynes answered.The door was pushed open, and a man dressed in a black suit walked in. He was Ynes's personal bodyguard, Ryker.Seeing Ryker walk in, she placed her phone aside."Ryker, is there any problem?""Young miss, I've been able to gather some information about the young man.Hearing Ryker, Ynes jumped up in excitement and asked."What information were you able to gather about Oliver?"Ynes had earlier asked Ryker to find some information about Oliver. With the power of the Larkin family, it wasn't difficult for him to be able to gather information about anyone in Boston Hills."Miss, as he said, his real name is
Oliver stood up and asked, "Doctor, how is Zelda doing?"Hearing Oliver mention Zelda again Megan sighed."Is she really your wife?" "You weren't lying?" She asked.Oliver chuckled lightly and said, "Why would I be waiting here for about two hours if I were lying?"Hearing his reply, she was somehow convinced."It couldn't be that he's lying, right?" "He wouldn't have waited here for long." She thought about this and replied."The poison she consumed was very effective, and even though we tried our best and washed the poison away from her body, there's no response yet, but she's being taken care of well.""Depending on the situation tomorrow, we will determine if an operation will be done or not."What!Hearing that Zelda consumed poison, Oliver slumped back to the chair, feeling his legs go weak instantly as his body couldn't stop shaking.Seeing this, Megan hurried to support him."What happened?""Are you not feeling well?" She anxiously asked."Doctor, you mean my Zelda is in th
The next day, Logan woke up from bed only to find her undies wet."I..I did have a wet dream today." She muttered as she tried recalling her dream."No, not him, Logan. What's happening to me?" "He's married, and I've known him for only a day.How can I have wet dreams because of him? It can't be that I've fallen in love with him." Logan questioned herself, looking embarrassed.Just then there was a knock on the door."Logan, aren't you awake yet?" Nora's voice could be heard at the back of the door.Logan snapped back to herself as she quickly changed her clothes so as not to let Nora notice what had happened.Meanwhile, Oliver finished dressing. Even though he was now living in a luxurious villa, he couldn't enjoy it as the thought of Zelda's condition flashed through his mind the whole night.Just as he was about to leave, his phone rang. He happily pressed the answer button, seeing that it was a call from Alice.A few days ago, Alice called and told him he was the master of a weal
