“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
“I can help you.” Sienna said when Oliver turned to look at her carefully. He couldn’t understand why he would possibly need her help or why she would want to help him.Sneering, he took more steps forward to her, “how can you possibly help me, Sienna?” He asked.She thought about it for a while, she could revisit her plan of getting Oliver back but for now all she wanted was just for her to be able to get out of the bars she was behind and go home.“I don’t know where Keith is, I swear but I can help you fish him out.” She explained. Oliver was interested and he couldn’t help but ask how she could do that.Sienna explained that once she’s out she’d try to find a way to contact him and that way, Oliver would be able to get him.“You can put a microchip on my phone, I don’t care, just let me out of here, please.” She pleaded, her eyes filling up with genuine tears this time.Oliver thought about it for a while but didn’t actually say anything else before leaving for his office.He met
Sienna felt like all the blood that she had in her body had dried up all at once when she saw the amount of casualties that had been brought to her hospital.Fear gripped her and the only thing she could think about was if Oliver was fine, she wanted to rush to his office but his secretary pulled her back immediately.“He said you’re the only one that can possibly take care of them and he’s ready to pay for their treatment.” The secretary said like he hadn’t just yanked her back.“What of Jackson? How is he? How do I know he’s fine?” Megan asked as she swallowed the bile at the back of her throat.She doesn’t know what the deal with Oliver was but she knew that he was always in danger, it was almost like he was running an underground mafia instead of a business mogul.“He’s fine,” the secretary answered, although he didn’t know if Oliver was fine or not, “you need to start taking care of them now.” He added, jolting Megan out of her thoughts.She never thought that she was going to be
3 DAYS LATER.“Are you all packed?” Oliver asked Megan as soon as she came outside with a small bag in her hand.He couldn’t wait for her to leave because her presence was causing him to hold back on things that he was supposed to have done.It’s been three days already and Jonathan hadn’t come back but Oliver knew that whoever had gone to his site to attack his workers was also working for Jonathan.His phone rang again but he ignored the call and instead helped Megan to take her things to the car. She was nervous, she was going to be meeting her parents after years and she didn't know how to act.She’d gotten things that she thinks that her parents were going to like but despite that she had a feeling that her father might not want to see her.“When will you be back?” Arianna asked, they’d both made plans that Arianna and Oliver were going to see her off to the airport.“Probably in a weeks’ time, I’m not so sure, it depends on how long they want me there.” Megan laughed nervously a
