"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
It's a new chapter in Oliver's life to start again but there are many changes in his plans. He did not continue to work in companies as a network architect which was his dream profession. He needs to alleviate the issues first and his second option now is to work at the bakery shop which is a safe place for him where he is not exposed to the public. He should stay and work in their neighborhood where there is no noise to be heard. "Welcome to my bakery!" Julie greets him and agrees that Oliver works in the shop."Thank you for welcoming me," Oliver's smiles are forced and Julie can feel that he's not happy. "Is your decision final? Do you not want to continue with your dream job and just stay here?" she asked. "Yeah. I'm fine to work here. As long as Adamson is here to finance. I-I trust him and I need to be able to save money but I know my income is not that big but I'll work double time." Oliver fixed the apron he was wearing, "I'll just enjoy serving pastries here.""That's good
"You gave credits to your brother while I didn't? You're making me jealous. You know that I was the one who looked for a way just to clear your name in public. If I wasn't there, you might have been imprisoned forever." Adamson said that he wanted to thank him for everything that happened to Oliver. "Haven't I thank you enough? My friend, I'm just fair to everyone who helped me.""But your step-brother won't help you if you didn't follow his condition. Don't you get that? He doesn't want to help without anything in return. Then you'll still be grateful for him who started the trouble in your life?""I know. He is the one who ruined my life but in the end, he's still my younger stepbrother that I have to give understand. Blood might be thicker than water but I can't trust him. Especially my dad. After all. My friends are important to me, you have my loyalty Adamson and I hope you do too." Oliver smiled and patted his friend on the shoulder, "Don't feel like I didn't appreciate your hel
"Just let your feelings out. Just cry until no more tears are left to cry. That's one of the ways to relieve your heavy feelings." Julie comforted him and did not leave him alone. "We are both hurt that Merideth won't remember us, but I know what you feel is more painful. If I were in your position, I don't know how I would feel when the person I love doesn't remember me anymore. And what's worse, the one you love doesn't love you anymore and you can't do anything but watch her in the hand of others.""Julie..I'll accept even if I'm no longer the man she loves, but nothing will hurt more when she forgets the good memories we both had." Oliver already let go but never forget about their memories, "That's all I gave her but she forgot everything.""Then it's not your fault. You can't force her to remember it all. Just let the time make her remember her memories with you. She's just suffering but she will heal sooner. My heart also breaks for you every time I see you getting hurt. I don
"What do you feel about me?"You will be nervous if the person you like asks you a question that you cannot answer directly. The scary thing is, something may change the moment you admit your true feelings. "Umm... I-I l-like you as my friend, like a brother too." But Julie still needs to hide her secret so as not to destroy their friendship. She wanted to say the truth but she was so afraid. "Hmm.. good to know," Oliver awkwardly smiled and approached Julie and ruffled her hair it got messy and she was annoyed, "I also treat you like a younger sister of mine. You and Adamson became my siblings, that's why I treasure you both."Julie used to be treated as someone who is only a friend, she just smiled while holding back the tears that formed in her eyes, "Yeah, we're all like siblings, the three of us work together and I'm lucky to have you two because otherwise, I'm not here anymore, I might be staying with my uncle in the province.""You always got my back so I'm ready to serve and
After Julie and Oliver talked on the rooftop, they returned downstairs where Adamson was alone drinking coffee. "You won't be able to sleep after that," said Oliver, "I avoid drinking a lot of coffee because sometimes I suddenly have palpitations.""Same. Caffeine causes palpitations so better avoid drinking too much coffee," Julie said then took her bag from the locker. "No problem even if I drink a lot of coffee, I'm already suffering from insomnia," Adam drained his coffee from the mug and looked at the two. "By the way, congratulations to us today. We earned $10,000 with our delicious pastries and they also liked the coffees, now we know what the customers here in our neighborhood want. We will expect that we will have many more customers in the next day and let's remain our teamwork for a better outcome of this business," Adam is happy to inform their progress and he appreciates the efforts of his co-workers."I'll pray that the success of this shop continues, and I have other
