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 went out of work while the other workers went to the place where they were invited to their team leader's birthday party.He saw his blonde workmate who winked at him, "I'll wait for you there." He waved and left.Oliver walks slowly while looking at the invitation card the woman gave but he is still having second thoughts, his body is tired and his brain needs to rest but his heart wants to go there and expects to see Merideth again."It's up to you what happens. I want to see him." He said and got into a taxi cab to go to the birthday party.Oliver texted Julie that he won't be able to join Adamson for dinner tonight because he has someone else to go to."Where are you going Oliver?" Julie called because she didn't know where she was going."Umm.. our team leader is having a birthday party and I was just invited to come." He answered."Hmm..okay be careful and enjoy yourself there. Adamson and I will wait for you later, he will stay at my apartment tonight." Julie replied, "Be
"He's a rapist!" the blonde girl accused, everyone was shocked and angry to hear it. She was faking her cry and pointing Oliver to make people hate him even more. "This jerk shouldn't have entered our company because he's targeting an innocent woman!" Their accusations were exaggerated while Oliver had no idea that the place he entered would lead him into a mess that would be difficult for him to escape."Beat him up! Until he dies!" Martin ordered and they beat Oliver who groaned in pain because of the strong punches and kick he receives.It was pitiful to see Oliver lying on the floor, his face was bloody with punches and all the people around were making fun of him, they were throwing bottles and food at him.Someone secretly stabbed him who wear gloves, Oliver felt the knife inside his gut and he was bathing in his blood. A police siren can be heard outside and everyone ran away when the police came.Everyone was sent away and Oliver was left on the ground unable to stand, he was
Adamson almost caught the person hidden behind the wall but quickly ran away so he was not caught.Julie sat down on the bench panting, she put the paper bag filled with fruit to the side and she was very nervous when she was almost caught by Adamson."Did I hear it right?" She can't believe what she discovered that Oliver is the son of a rich CEO and his rival Carter is his brother.Julie was also surprised when she heard her friend's name mentioned, "All this time, he's the son of a rich man? My suspicions were right, but why would someone want to kill her? And who is it? Why is Merideth involved?""Lower your voice, someone will hear you." She almost jumped in surprise because of Adamson who was standing behind her, "Keep it a secret or else Oliver will be damned if other people find out." Julie stand up while Adamson sat down on the bench, "I'm sorry if I heard your conversation with that person Adamson, I was surprised to know everything about him but why his father couldn't prot
Oliver was confined to the hospital for four days after suffering severe injuries due to the beating he received."After he's discharged, he'll go straight to jail," said the police holding an arrest warrant. They are waiting for Oliver to get out of the hospital to be detained because someone has filed a case against him for attempted rape."What? You're going to imprison my friend immediately even if it's not proven that he did it?" Adamson dictated, he will not allow Oliver to not have a fair trial and he also knows he was just framed up at that party."I'm just following the orders so tomorrow, we'll pick up Mr.Sullivan to face his case at the precinct." The policeman said seriously and left."What are we going to do? I'm afraid Oliver might go to jail even though he's not guilty." Julie is anxious about him, she doesn't know what to do to help Oliver. "He can get out right away because I will pay for the bail," Adamson said but he is not sure if the case is bailable.They looked
Julie is good at reading people, as she witnesses that Oliver has hatred towards his father and he understands his reasons, Oliver was left by his father when he needed him in the past when he suffered a lot."I said you have pride Oliver, it's because you have been selfish to yourself. You don't want to accept the things you deserve. But I understand 'cause your father deprived you of everything you should receive ever since you were born, and now you have a hard time accepting him back in your life. You also didn't like the way your father wanted to make up for his shortcomings because all he was giving you was money, and that wasn't what you were looking for. You felt like gold ginger don't you?" Oliver listened to her, " You knowOliver, I understand the decisions you make in life, you want to be independent but you are unaware that you have been selfish in the part that you don't want to give him another chance." Julie tells what's on her mind, but she's also nervous that she mi
A rich life is what most people dream of.No one wants to stay in poverty, they rather want to lie in piles of money.Oliver was born wealthy but someone deprived him of living as a son of the rich.Instead of living like a prince, he grew up in a dark world and became aware of the hardships of the lower ones.Now, he can take back the life that was taken from him, but there is a big obstacle, his life is in danger."How far will I fight for my life?" he asked himself.There are two paths he can take, that is to go with his father and compete with the heirship or stay away to escape the danger.At this time, his heart and mind were fighting, confused about what to follow.He wanted to choose something better for him so he wouldn't regret it in the end."Would it be worth it if I fight and avenge the dignity that people have trampled on?" He had another question, that only he would know the answer to.He took time to think about his plans but someone entered his room.Oliver was surpri
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
