“Why does he have to show up now of all times?” Oliver asked himself as he drove to Lord Tate’s house. It’s been years since he last got into a fight with Jonathan and now when things are starting to get tight for him Jonathan had to show up.He rolled down the window of his car despite the air conditioning being in a perfectly good condition, he just needed to feel the rush of fresh air on his body.He cleared his head and made up his mind not to tell anyone about what just happened on his way to the mansion, especially Megan.Oliver can’t afford to stress her out after what he just learnt about her, he doesn’t want to make her feel like she’s constantly in danger.After a long drive he finally got to the mansion and handed the key to one of his men as he made his way into the house without really talking to anyone.“You’re here,” Megan stood to meet him and he forced out a smile as he nodded, “I was worried about you especially when they told me that someone was after you.” Megan ad
Oliver felt like the more questions he asks about Megan, the more he gets to know her and the more the feeling to protect her grows.Tate and Oliver kept talking and soon Oliver felt like he already knew enough about Megan to know that she doesn’t deserve what life has thrown her way.They changed the topic into something else and soon they were talking about Oliver’s new plan of building a new penthouse and how big he intends it.“What did he say when you eventually told him?” Arianna asked Megan, they’ve also been having a conversation of their own in Arianna’s room and Megan had told Arianna that she’d explained everything to Oliver.“Surprisingly, nothing,” Megan responded with a smile, “he only said he understood why I decided to keep things from him and he’s not mad at me.” She added.“You notice the security too? He wants to make sure that what happened when Keith came to the hospital wouldn’t happen again.” Megan added and Arianna pulled her into a hug.She had always been tel
Sienna doesn’t know why the address to the house Oliver was demolishing was the one she’d said. Maybe it was because she wanted to see it or maybe it was because she still couldn’t believe that it was really happening.She knew the amount of pain it was going to cause her to see the house that she’s worked so hard for like that, it was going to hurt her to see that the house she’d planned so hard to buy whenever she got enough money was being demolished.Looking out the car window, she drew in a sharp breath as they continued the journey and although a big part of her was scared, she didn’t show it.It was strange to get a cab at a time like that, “can you please tell me what the time is right now?” She asked the driver who was whistling and concentrating on his driving.“It’s 2:30 AM,” he answered and Sienna swallowed. She has heard a lot of scary stories like horrible things happening to a woman in this kind of situation.She tugged on the hem of her dress and clutched her bag tight
“I really am not in the mood for yelling and nagging this time, mom,” Sienna responded and that was enough to get Delilah even angrier.“You couldn’t even at least pretend to care about the fact that I’ve been away from home for days.” She added.Her mother has always been hard on her so much that even she had no idea why she was expecting her mother to have a little empathy for her, something she knows really well that wouldn’t be possible.“You think I give two fucks what you choose to do with your life?” Delilah yelled, ignoring Alexa’s attempt to make them calm down.“Everything has been down the hill ever since you thought that it was going to be a good idea to team up with a total stranger and hurt that doctor.” Delilah added.Sienna’s mouth opened, her jaw dropped and she desperately wanted to talk but the only thing that made its way out of her parted lips was a laugh.“You are unbelievable,” she said to her mother, “I remember I told you about this stranger and you didn’t car
“What?” Oliver asked, his eyes wide as he stood from his chair to face his secretary, “when?” He added.“We got some signal from her phone last night and we were able to track that to her last location,” he explained.Oliver couldn’t believe that his secretary would work late at night for him although the loyalty his workers have for him isn’t a new thing.“We got there and we heard that she was there with a man who we immediately assumed to be Keith Smith,” the secretary continued.“Were you able to see Keith? I fucking need him to suffer for what he did.” Oliver said, anger brewing inside of him as he spoke.“No, he left before we could get to apprehend him, Sir,” his secretary added and the anger rose within him even higher.“I’m sorry Sir.” He apologized.“Where is Sienna now?” Oliver asked, brushing the apology off and a part of him prayed that his secretary was going to tell him that they apprehended her already.“I was waiting for your authorization to….”“WAITING FOR MY AUTHOR
“Tell them everything you know about Keith and his whereabouts and I’ll see what I can do about it.” He finished before signaling for the policemen to take her away and then asking them to wait.“Also, you never suffered with me, I did that with you,” Oliver continued, “I took the humiliation and ignored it because I was stupidly in love with you but thank goodness it ended because I can’t imagine myself in a marriage with someone as selfish as you.” He finished.It felt like someone had dropped a bomb on Sienna and she opened her mouth to talk but nothing came out until Oliver asked the police to take her away.He watched as she kept screaming that she knew nothing about what Keith did until her voice was no longer heard in the premise.His secretary came back in and Oliver asked him to send words to Megan to remind her of their lunch date together.The fact that he’s gotten his hands on Sienna was satisfying, he was going to let her suffer in the police station before he asks them t
“Hello.” Megan said into the phone after she had excused herself from where Oliver was sitting. She was elated but a part of her was scared.They haven’t called her in years, the only person who still manages to call her despite his busy schedule was her younger brother so seeing her mother’s call right now was sort of out of the blue yet exciting for her.“Mom?” She called into the phone after a while of silence. Her mother being silent on call was never a good thing.Her mind drifted off to thousands of possibilities and guesses of what might be going on back at home for them to call her like this.“Is dad alright?” She blurted out, her hand clutching her chest and her breathing had already started becoming irregular.“Your father is fine,” her mother finally said and her heart calmed, she heaved out a sigh of relief before asking about the real reason behind her mother calling her.“I called to let you know that it’s your father and I anniversary soon and we know that we haven’t be
Oliver had almost forgotten about the system in his head. He looked around frantically but there didn’t seem to be any danger around.“What danger did it detect?” He asked himself and it wasn’t until Megan choked on her food that he realized how lost he was.He poured her a glass of water and handed it over to her to calm her down. Her cough soon subsided and she couldn’t help but ask the question that has been in her mind since like two minutes ago.“You looked lost,” she pointed out and Oliver raised an eyebrow before laughing, “what’s the matter?” Megan asked.She had noticed the change in Oliver’s countenance and not only that, she had asked him a question that he didn’t even hear.“It’s nothing,” Oliver lied, still looking around for where the danger could be coming from but he soon shrugged it off and pretended it was nothing.“I thought I saw someone I knew but he’s not the one.” He added, Megan smiled before returning her focus back to her food.“So, why did they call you? I h
