So the man who steals his girlfriend is his brother? From his rich father to a cruel stepbrother?
Life has really big surprises."What the hell are you doing here?!!" Carter rushed downstairs and was like a wild animal in his t erritory.Oliver gulped, he never imagine having a brother like him. "I already warned you not to cross the line." Carter sighed heavily, "Dad?! Why did you let this jerk enter our mansion?" He grunted at their fater, but he gave them a confusing look.Seems like he had no idea what happened earlier in Carter's event.
"Is there something I want to know between the two of you?" he seriously asked and Carter was ready to explain."This jerk ruined my proposal earlier. He hurt my fiancee and I put him in jail." "I paid for it," their dad answered directly and Carter's forehead creased. He was also taken aback to know that he was the one who paid the bail and Adam just helped him because of him."What? He might harass my fiance again." Carter was worried,"For your information. She cheated on me." Oliver corrected.
"You two, follow me," They stopped when dad commanded them, he signaled them through his hand to follow him on the other side.Carter and Oliver didn't hesitate to follow him while there was tension between them. They walked into a dining room and Oliver was seated on the chair opposite Carter while their father was in the center.A woman in her 40's wearing a fine dress also enters the room with a young blonde girl. It was the CEO's wife and his younger daughter."Everyone sit down," He commanded and all of them stares at Oliver. Waiting to hear the reason why he's there."In front of us, is Mr.Sullivan a worker from our company and I take him here for my family to know the truth." He began and they were all curious."What truth?" Carter was impatient and can't bear seeing him with them."Oliver is my long lost son," he answered directly and Carter froze in his seat. He turned his gaze at him and a grin formed on his lips.''He's your step-brother starting from now.''"What? He's your bastard?" Carter hit the table using his hand. "Carter. Get back on your seat 'cause we're not done talking," His dad commanded seriously he have no choice so he seated back.Looks like he's intimidated to know the truth.''I won't accept this piece of sh*t.!'' His wife wasn't happy at all, ''Eddison, this man might be fooling you for money.'' ''I took a DNA test and he is my son. I do not doubt it,'' he cleared, "Since Oliver is here. I also wanted him to stay in here so he can bond with our family but it is upon his decision if he wanted to stay," Carter was pissed to hear it. "Since he's your brother he can receive anything the same as you." He cleared them.Oliver decided to interrupt."Let me clear this out. I have no plans to stay here and to be part of your family. Even in the company." He can read the things in their minds they think of him like a snake who will devour them alive.''It is my decision for you to stay here but I'll give you time to decide whether you want it or not. I'm just offering you a good life so you won't suffer anymore,'' The CEO sighed heavily as he badly wants Oliver to stay in their mansion but he just wanted to avoid this kind of family trouble.''Thank you for respecting my decision. And this thing shouldn't be revealed to the public..'' Oliver said seriously.''Don't be funny. We don't have plans to share it with anyone, Oliver. The company has its face'' Carted laughed sarcastically, "If the public knew we have a loser bastard, our stock price would go down."''Then I'll be glad to know that,'' he gave him a fake smile then he stand up from his seat and bowed down to his father as I'm leaving, ''Thank you for this night, Mr.Johnson,'" he thanked him and took his bag from the side.When he left the mansion, Carter chased him. Two of them were outside and Carter faced him who wanted to tell him something.''What?'' he asked.Carter took something from his pocket, and it was a pile of money that he suddenly threw at him so it scattered everywhere.
''Rich people do charity.'' He sneered coldly, and turned away, ‘’Hope it's enough for you to buy yourself a coffin."Oliver lick his lip in annoyance but he couldn't help but hold back.
"Spoiled brat," he mumbled as he sighed while looking at the scattered money and he had no choice but to pick them up one by one to use them for paying a taxi.
Oliver blocked the road to stop another taxi he was almost hit by it but luckily the driver stomped its break.''Are you insane?!'' the driver come out and wanted to kick his butt, ''I just want a ride to get out of this hell,'' Oliver responded and immediately get inside and the driver shakes his head.The old driver held his chest, he was nervous as he let out a sigh of relief that he didn't hit him. ''You almost gave me a heart attack,'' he mumbled.''Where is your destination?'' the driver asked when he was back inside but Oliver was stunned by the absence wondering about everything that happened in his life.''I don't know," he answered. He sighed heavily, didn't know what to think clearly. "Just take me out of here!""What?!? You don't know where you're going?!" the grumpy driver stopped for a moment, he was very confused with his passenger who is not on himself. "I have no home, sir. Maybe you know a place that has an affordable apartment?" Oliver asked and the driver's face l
The woman took Oliver to her house which was just around the corner from the old apartment. Oliver can still walk despite his stabbed that was bleeding but the wound is not deep.They rushed into the small room and she laid Oliver on her bed for treatment. ''Just a moment. I'll just take some medicine.'' Oliver endured the pain for a while but the woman returned with medicines to treat his wound.''Let me take care of you.'' Said the woman who slowly wiped the wound with a clean towel. ''I'm sorry for what happened. If you just ignored the trouble earlier. You wouldn't have been hurt.'' The woman apologized but Oliver just stared at her. "Do you think I can leave someone just to get out of trouble? And be safe?" Oliver asked softly, stopping the woman for a moment.''What if I left you there and those men killed you?''''And who cares if I die?''Their eyes met again, Oliver could see in the woman's eyes that she was confused about why someone helped her even though she have nothing
"What?! You want to be a baker?" Julie was surprised by what Oliver was planning. She just arrived a few minutes ago bringing some delicious croissants."Why are you surprised? Do I look like I don't know how to bake?" Oliver chuckled."It's not like that, but you worked hard to become a computer architect and then you just give up because of what they did? Like DUH! You can still find another company to work as a computer architect." Julie thinks Oliver should find another better job. "How can I apply to another company, my image is already ruined, remember?""That's a big problem..." Julie is willing to help him if he wants to be a baker but she has some sad news, "The bakery shop will be closing next week and this will be the last week to open.""Why would they close it?" Oliver asked. "We've been getting a lot of unwarranted bad reviews lately." She said, "We suspect it's because of another competitor, but we have no proof, and these bad reviews have left us with fewer and fewer
Oliver went back to his apartment wondering about Julie's nightmare. Her dream was weird but it was a premonition to him that he cannot keep his secret forever.A day will come when anyone will know that he is a son of a rich CEO and Carter is his stepbrother.While Oliver was slowly fixing the broken sole of his shoes, he heard a knock on the door. ''Come in.'' The door opens and he sees pair of black shoes on the floor. He looked up and saw his father.''What are you doing here?'' he asked and stood up.''I will not fire you from the company. You can go back to your work tomorrow.'' Mr. Thompson commanded looking around the small room, ''I think you also need to move to a five star hotel so you can sleep properly and I will take care of paying. Everything.'' ''I already told you, I don't need your help.'' Oliver was annoyed. ''I don't care if you don't fire me at the company but I won't go back there.'' "What about your new girlfriend? She's in debt. Can you pay her back? You Don
"Thanks for that red dress, but the one you bought was cheap! I liked it, but it wasn't as expensive as the branded clothes Carter bought me. You can only afford cheap prices, it's a big turned off for me." Merideth laughed."I worked hard for everything you want, but you are the one who doesn't know how to appreciate even the smallest things. I don't care about the prices, but don't underestimate my efforts because not all men will do whatever you want. Remember that." Oliver said seriously and decided to leave so that the conversation would end.After he said that, a strong slap came from Merideth's palm. She did when she noticed that someone was taking a video of them."You have no right to insult me! Don't judge me as if you know my story!" There was a change in her voice to sound like she was the one being humiliated. "Everyone, this man," she snap her fingers to catch the attention of some customers, "He is the type of person who will count what he did to other people to blackm
A few days passed, Oliver's stabbed wound healed and he was able to look for a job. Julie accepted the money in the briefcase but Oliver did not expect she bought him clothes and shoes. Even though he hates the things that came from his father's money but he has no choice but to wear them so that he can be presentable to face job interviews. Oliver plans to apply to another company even though he has an issue, but if it doesn't work out, he will continue working at the bakery shop. After getting himself ready, he put on a plain pink polo shirt and black slacks paired with black shoes. Oliver is simple to look at but he has a strong charisma that is a head-turner. He prepared his resume and other necessary materials. And when he got out, Julie met him at the door with her mouth agape."Woah! You're this handsome when you're dressed?!" Julie patted his arm, she was amazed by his charms and Oliver shook his head, running his fingers through his hair. "Do you think I will be accepted to
Step-brothers don't get along in other small things, but in the case of Oliver and Carter, they are rivals for a woman's heart. And Carter's anger increased because he had a connection with his father who was a rich CEO. He's afraid that Oliver might manipulate his father for his riches. ''And where did you get the money to buy what you wore today? You don't have any money so might stole that?'' Carter insulted the elder brother who remained calm despite his day being ruined.''You know I don't have any money because you plan to fire me from the company, right? I didn't get my salary so you're happy that I'm suffering now?'' ''No. You already got your salary, remember the night I slapped you with it?'' Oliver remembered it. "So you picked it up, huh?!" ''You deserve to suffer because of the rudeness you did to my girlfriend and the night of our proposal! You insulted her again in the shoe shop but thank goodness I wasn't there, or I might kill you in no time. I already warned you n
''Didn't you get accepted?'' Julie's face was sad as she encountered Oliver on the way who was wet from the rain.Oliver didn't say a word, his face was emotionless. He slowly walked closer to Julie, and she was holding a blue umbrella, willing to protect him from the rain. Julie didn't expect Oliver's approach, his body weakened and he fell on her so she caught him in her arms. ''What happened to you?'' Julie asked worriedly.''I want to go home,'' Oliver was shaking, he had been soaked in the rain from the cemetery earlier. Julie could feel his cold body and he was like a child seeking warmth from a mother. ''O-okay, I'll take you home.'' She tried to carry him but he was too heavy to lift so she just clung his arm around her neck to bring him back into his apartment.''It's like you're going to have a convulsion,'' Julie felt as if she was scalded as she touched Oliver's neck, he was laying in the bed. She couldn't check his temperature but she knew he had a fever. ''Why did yo
