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
The bruises on Carter's face came from the punch of his father who was angry because he accused him of possibly being behind the incident where Oliver was beaten up and framed. "Are you the one behind what happened to Oliver?" Mr. Thompson dictated to Carter who was surprised to be punched in the face."Dad, why would you accuse me? Can I do that to my stepbrother?" He dictated. Mr.Thompson's eyes narrowed, he knows Carter was lying."You hated him. You don't like him a lot and you're trying to destroy him. Am I right?" He doesn't want anyone to lie in front of him. "Yes, I do. I hate him for embarrassing my fiance and I hate him because I can't accept that he is my stepbrother." He admitted directly."It's still hard for me to accept him, dad. But I can't do what you accuse me of.""Make sure you have nothing to do with that. You won't like my punishment if you're involved in the incident." Threatened by his father. He started to walk out the door but was stopped when Carter said
Oliver arrived at the precinct and was immediately locked up. He didn't worry about his condition, he just calmly faced the police officer who was surprised to see him again. "Your case is non-bailable, wait for the court process to find out if you are guilty or not. If you are guilty, you will only be imprisoned for three years and three months and the accessory penalties provided for by law and to pay the victim $20,000,00." The officer explained and his eyes widened when he heard it. "Mr.Sullivan was imprisoned last time. He mysteriously got out immediately and paid the big bail. Mr.Hot Issue's savior might arrive here to get him out of there." An officer laughed, he just ignored them and seated on the floor to relax.An hour passed, and his friend Adamson came and there was an attorney with him, "There is an attorney who will defend you in court and we will present the gathered evidence. You won't be here long either. Anyways, if anyone ever investigates and interviews you, alway
"Thank you for telling me that. It was just a test for me that I overcome but I still have many issues to face. I want to be angry with Merideth and Carter because they started this but I understand why they were able to destroy my name with untrue things." Oliver's arm rested on the table while his hand was clasped. "Did Carter say share something with you?" asked Adam who was in front of him. "Yeah about what Merideth did on the night of the proposal. She destroyed me to protect Carter's image, if she admits that she cheated on me then Carter will also be devastated that she doesn't know that I'm her fiance's boyfriend. I know she chose to protect his image while I was the poor one left broken and ruined, but no matter what the purpose of what she did, it was still unfair to me. Carter assured me that they would issue an apology statement for me, but he asked for a condition. It's a simple condition that I agreed on. I don't want a lot of trouble so we made a deal." He explained w
"I was also cheated on by my girlfriend who I loved since high school. Now he is my stepbrother's fiance." Oliver also wanted to share his experience of being unlucky in love, "I ruined their proposal, I was so angry with my stepbrother that I hurt him until they reversed the situation to take revenge. I became a monster in people's eyes and they didn't believe me that my girlfriend cheated on me so I was hurt.""How dare your step-brother steal your girlfriend? That's dirty." the old man was disgusted, "Brothers should not be rivals in something because that would destroy their brotherhood.""At first I didn't know he was my stepbrother, it was too late when I found out. I regret the night I went to their wedding proposal because that's when my life started to mess up. All this time I blamed myself for loving too much, and it almost killed me to the point that I almost gave up. Yeah, I gave up on her. But I'm trying to stand up again to prove my worth that everyone is wrong.""Did yo
Oliver couldn't explain the anger he felt at the person in front of him. "Tell me. Is it my mother you're referring to that you killed?" He asked seriously and the old man couldn't believe that he was facing the boy he almost killed before. "Yes. I killed her. She left me for that rich man who stole everything from me!" He suddenly punched Oliver who fell to the floor, he was on tip of him and rained punches but Oliver didn't fight back and let the old man vent his anger. "Is what you did justifiably to kill the woman who still wanted to take care of her child?!" Oliver dictated, "I thought my mother also abandoned me! When the truth is a heartless man killed her!""She must die! She betrayed me. She had a child with that man! And I won't let them have a happy family!" The police came in to stop the old man, they separated him from the prison because he was messing with other inmates. Oliver was left lying on the floor with a bloody nose and mouth, he is devastated to find out wha
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
