Oliver was so worried about his ex-girlfriend that he couldn't bear to see her. "What right do you have to come in here?!" Carter approached him, his head was hot, annoyed to see Oliver's face. "I-I just want to make sure she's fine," Oliver answered calmly, unable to take his eyes off the patient lying on the bed. "Be a man of your word Oliver. You said you were going to get away from us. Do you remember that? And why are you still trying to come here? I'll let you see her from afar but I won't let you touch her." Carter blocked him, he backed out of the door and Carter slammed the door that made him startled.Oliver just sat in the chair and waited for Julie and his uncle who could tell him about Merideth's true condition. As he waited, he thought it was Julie who would come out but it was Carter who suddenly rushed at him. He suddenly pulled Oliver's collar and pulled him to the corner."What did you do to Merideth?" Carter accuses Oliver so he was confused and offended. "Why d
Today, Oliver was excited to go to work even though he still has a little bit of flu. He was simply wearing a plain white shirt, black pants, and black shoes that Julie had bought a week ago. He was also in a hurry to leave the apartment because he woke up a little late earlier. He just slept late at night because he was thinking about his ex-girlfriend.When he got out, he went straight to the nearby cafeteria to buy breakfast. He bought an egg sandwich and orange juice, it was enough to fill his stomach. Then continued to walk to the workplace which was nearby but passed the bakery shop where Julie worked.Oliver saw her busy in front of customers who were buying pastries. Oliver waved at her and she noticed him. Julie gave him a big smile and a thumbs up.She's one of Oliver's motivations whom he considers a good friend, she is always there for him despite his downfall.When Oliver arrived inside the company, he noticed that other workers were looking at him. He was no longer surp
"With so many ways to clear my name, why would I go back to the place where I was destroyed?" Oliver dictated. He has no intention of returning to the company. ''I know you have a connection with Carter, I found out after the CEO ordered me to take a strand of your hair for the DNA test and even though the result is confidential. I tried to look into it and I was surprised to know the truth.'' Adam shared, he was the person who paid the bail the day Carter sent Oliver to jail. ''And why were you uncomfortable the night you paid my bail in jail?'' Oliver asked. ''Carter can't know that I'm close to you, you know I'm in a good position and it might be in danger because I helped the CEO find you,'' Adamson replied and remembered something. He was busy at that time with his work in the Thompsons' company but suddenly he received a text from an executive. He obeyed the order and went to a private place, not expecting to see the CEO of the company he works at. ''What can I do for you, M
''Don't worry. You will be safe.'' Oliver ran Adamson away from their home where his foster parent was mistreating him. Adamson was only twelve years old at the time while Oliver was fourteen when he rescued him from the chaotic house so he took him to their small home on the corner of a road. Adam was very afraid to go back to his old house and wants to go with Oliver. And the miracle that happened in Adam's life was that Oliver helped him return to his real parents. Because Adam was kidnapped by his self-proclaimed foster parents. In Adam's twelve years of living, he feels that he is not at home. He doesn't feel the people around him and when he is returned to his real parents, he is very grateful to Oliver and wants him to be part of his family but Oliver refused because he will find his own family, and he also finds his home.''Do you remember now?'' Adam asked smiling as his tears fell, ''You saved me from bad people, you helped me find my real family and I want to do the same
''D-do you have a crush on someone Julie?'' Oliver asked and Julie stuttered nervously, ''It's been a long time and I'm moving on,'' Oliver grinned as he looked at Adam who continued to eat."You better move on to someone who doesn't appreciate you, you can also find someone who will love you willingly," Adam said that even if there is no love interest, he has advice that can help, "Don't waste your time chasing him, you're not a dog." He laughed.''There are many men in the world, Julie, but I know a man who is very aromantic, and I want him to get married as soon as possible so that he won't interfere with my life anymore,'' Oliver said sarcastically and Adam looked at him as he chewed food ''Who are you talking about? Is it Carter? The one who is going to marry your ex-girlfriend and who's also interfering with your life?'' Adamson countered. Julie laughed in her seat when she noticed that they were annoyed with each other.''It's not obvious that you both have a misunderstanding,
Oliver laid down on his little bed and rested because he was so tired from what happened all day. "I'm always tired every day." He sighed, wiping his sweaty forehead. He hasn't bought an electric fan yet but he opens the window every night to let in the cool air. Oliver thought about what was going to happen in his life for a while while he was still not feeling sleepy. He was very afraid of what will happen, he feels that his days are numbered. What happened tonight caused him to become anxious after learning that someone wanted to kill him and he wondered for what reason and a big possibility was his connection with the CEO and his step-brother Carter. "What am I going to do now?" He held his head and didn't know what to do for the next few days to survive. He also does not want to live in a world where someone will kill him, he would rather take his own life. His thought that he could start over in his life was hopeless, even though he had a job, he had found an apartment. He
When Oliver returned to the company where he worked, he met his team leader in the hallway, it was Marcus Martin, who was observing him lately. ''You're almost late, Oliver.'' he said, ''It's good that you're on time,'' He gave a fake smile and Oliver smiled back even though he wasn't comfortable with him, ''Good morning Sir Martin. Uhmm...I just went somewhere important.'' ''Oh. Nice. By the way. I'm impressed with your performance even though you haven't been here for weeks. You have a lot of potential in this company, so I have high expectations from you,'' The two of them talked while passing the hallways to go to the computer laboratory, ''I'm not good at all. You will only be disappointed if you have high expectations of me. I have very little knowledge in this field because I did not graduate from this course, I only graduated from secondary school with an information technology track that helped me improve my skills.'' ''Do you think that I have better expectations about you
"Hey, Adam! We're done shopping!" Julie said happily and she and Oliver brought a lot of shopping carts. "O-oh. Yeah. S-sure." Adamson is nervous about the safety of his friends but he makes sure they are safe despite his mission. After paying for everything they took around the mall. He drove his friends back to their respective apartments. "Did you guys enjoy the things you shop?" Adamson asked, he could see in their faces that they were happy to have some new clothes and some items. "Thank you so much, Adam, I appreciate your treat. I finally have nice clothes to wear." Julie was so happy with her new dresses and she hugged the stuffed toys she won in the machine. "I suck at playing that machine. I didn't get any. But you're the one who likes stuffed toys, that panda is cute, can I have it?" Oliver asked but Julie who couldn't let go of the stuffed toys pouted, "Sorry but no. I've worked hard to get these stuffed toys, and they will sleep beside me tonight." She was like a kid t
Oliver walked into the computer technology company feeling a strange mix of excitement and apprehension. After all, he had been away for a couple of months on summer vacation, and he was worried that he might have missed out on some critical developments. However, he was also eager to get back to work and tackle any new challenges that awaited him.As he walked through the corridor, he couldn't help but notice that things looked different. There were some new employees who seemed to be busy working on some project, and there was a palpable sense of anticipation in the air. He made his way to his office, where he was greeted by his colleague, Karen."Hey, Oliver, welcome back!" she said, giving him a warm smile. "How was your vacation?""It was great, thanks," he replied, feeling a little awkward. "But I'm glad to be back here.""Good to hear that," Karen said. "There's a lot of stuff that we need to catch up on, so let's get to work."As they settled down in their chairs, Oliver felt
Oliver sat on the edge of his bed, surrounded by a sea of clothes and souvenirs from the past two weeks aboard the cruise ship. He had been having the time of his life, soaking up the sun and enjoying all the activities the ship had to offer. But now, it was time to face the inevitable - packing up and heading home.He let out a deep sigh as he began sorting through his belongings, separating the clean from the dirty and the souvenirs from the necessities. As he worked, his step-brother Carter walked into the room, a smile on his face."Hey man, how's it going?" Carter asked, taking a seat on the edge of Oliver's bed.Oliver sighed again. "I'm good, just trying to figure out what to pack and what to leave behind. I can't believe the trip is over already!"Carter nodded sympathetically. "I know, it went by so fast. But hey, at least we have some awesome memories to take home with us, right?"Oliver smiled at that, grateful for the reminder. "Yeah, you're right. It really has been an am
Oliver was thrilled when his stepbrother Carter invited him to join him on their weekly swimming trip. Oliver didn't have a lot of experience swimming, but he loved being in the water, and he was excited to share this activity with his family. He planned to bring Samantha, his fiance, along for the ride as well.When they arrived at the local pool, Carter was already there with his wife Merideth. Oliver and Samantha greeted them warmly and settled in for a fun day of swimming.As they waded into the pool, Oliver looked around at the other family members who had joined them. There were aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents all gathered around the edge of the pool, watching the swimmers with great interest.Carter and Merideth were naturally the strongest swimmers, and they wasted no time showing off their skills. Oliver and Samantha watched in awe as they glided effortlessly through the water, diving and doing flips with ease.As they swam, the group chatted and laughed, sharing sto
As Oliver and Samantha walked onto the deck of the cruise ship, they were greeted by the sparkling sun rising over the horizon. The sky was painted with a stunning array of orange, pink, and purple hues, while the gentle waves of the ocean rocked the ship in a soothing rhythm. Oliver was overcome with a sense of peace and contentment as he looked out at the vast expanse of water, feeling grateful for this moment in time with his beloved fiance by his side."What a beautiful sight," he whispered, grasping Samantha's hand tightly.She smiled up at him and nodded in agreement. "It's breathtaking. Thank you so much for bringing me here, Oliver. This is the trip of a lifetime."Oliver beamed with pride as he led Samantha to a table overlooking the ocean. They sat down and glanced over the extensive breakfast menu, eager to indulge in the delicious cuisine that awaited them. Just then, they heard a familiar voice greet them from across the table."Good morning, lovebirds!" Carter exclaimed,
Oliver had always been fond of Samantha. They had been engaged for six months, and their families had already arranged the wedding. Although everything was going fine, Oliver was a bit apprehensive about some of Samantha's qualities. It wasn't something he could easily explain, but he always felt a little uncomfortable when Samantha was around.Oliver's family had planned a family vacation out of town, and they were all excited about it. However, Samantha had insisted on joining them on this trip. Oliver wasn't expecting her to come along, and he had mixed feelings about it. He loved spending time with Samantha, but he also wanted to have some time alone with his family.Samantha had been invited by Carter, Oliver's elder brother. Carter had explained to Oliver that Samantha would be joining them so that he wouldn't feel left out on the trip, as everyone else had partners. Oliver was grateful to Carter for this gesture, but he was still unsure about how to behave with Samantha during
Oliver leaned against the railing of the cruise ship, breathing in the salty sea air. He looked out at the vast expanse of blue before him, feeling a sense of peace wash over him. He had always been drawn to the ocean, to its wildness and its beauty, and it was one of the things that had compelled him to accept his stepbrother's invitation to join them on this journey.As he stood there, lost in his thoughts, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching from behind him. He turned to see his stepbrother, Jack, and Jack's wife, Sarah, walking towards him."Beautiful, isn't it?" Jack said, standing next to Oliver and gazing out at the sea."Yeah," Oliver replied, nodding his head. "It's incredible."Sarah stepped closer to them, a small smile on her face, but Oliver could see the tightness in her jaw, the way her eyes narrowed slightly when she looked at him. He knew she didn't like him, didn't approve of him, and he couldn't help but feel like an intruder in their family."It's lovely, d
Oliver sat on the edge of his bed, staring blankly at his phone. The message from his step-brother, Carter, still flickered on the screen."Hey, man. We're planning a family vacation and we want you to come with us. Think about it, okay?"It had been three days since the message arrived, but Oliver couldn't make up his mind. He felt both honored and hesitant at the same time.Oliver was a bastard. His mother had an affair with a married man and Oliver was born out of wedlock. His father left them shortly after he was born and his mother struggled to make ends meet on her own. When Oliver was ten years old, his mother met and fell in love with a man named Richard. Richard had a son already, Carter, who was six years older than Oliver.At first, Carter and Oliver got along really well. Carter was the older brother Oliver had always wanted, and Richard was the father figure he had always needed. But as they got older, Carter became distant. He went to college and started a career, while
Oliver had been out of the game for a while, but he couldn't deny the thrill of being back in the game. As a computer architect, he had worked on some of the biggest projects in the industry, and now, he was eager to see what the future held.He couldn't help but smile as he walked into the offices of his new company. The energy was palpable, and he knew that he was going to enjoy working here. As he made his way to his new office, he noticed a lot of changes in the industry.The technology had evolved so much over the years, and Oliver couldn't help but feel a bit behind the times. However, he was ready to learn and work hard to catch up.As he settled into his new office, he noticed that his step-brother, Carter, was the CEO of the company. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy about working under his step-brother, but he knew that he had to put those feelings aside and focus on the job.A few days into his new role, Oliver bumped into Carter in the hallway. He noticed that his
Oliver sat in his apartment, staring at the saved CCTV footage on his laptop screen. He had been watching it over and over again for hours, trying to figure out if he recognized the person who had tried to burn down their building.Carter, his stepbrother, walked into the room and sat down next to him. "Anything new?" he asked.Oliver shook his head. "I've watched this thing a million times and I still can't make out his face. But I know he's in this building somewhere."Carter leaned forward and looked at the screen. "Maybe we should start asking around, see if anyone saw anything."Oliver sighed. "We've already asked everyone in the building. No one saw anything."Carter crossed his arms. "Well, we can't just give up. Our home was almost burned down. We need to find this guy and make sure he doesn't try anything like this again."Oliver nodded. "I know, I know. It's just frustrating."Carter stood up. "Come on, let's go talk to some of the neighbors again. Maybe someone will remembe
