NICK

I sat on that jet with the image of Olivia’s sunken face engraved in my mind. I wanted to talk to her, find out if she was alright but as soon as the pitch was over, she disappeared. I thought of going over to her house to find out what was going on. Use the excuse that she invited me over not so long ago.

But I held back, if she still wanted to talk to me, then she would have done so at the hotel after the pitch. But instead she left, that meant she was not ready to talk yet. But the image of her walking around looking like the dead hurt me. What could have happened to her? It’s only been two months since I last saw her and she was happy. noveldrama

“Sir, we are here.” I looked out and saw that we were outside Luke’s office. Did he know what was happening with his daughter? I doubt it, he would have been there for her ifthe knew. A sigh left me. Owen opened the door for me and I got out.

When I got to his office, i knocked once and let myself in. “I knew it could only be you who would have the guts to just enter my office like that.” He said signing some documents. He then closed the file and placed the pen on top of it. He watched as I poured myself a drink. His eyes narrowed looking closely at me.

“What’s going on?” Well, I could safely say that my uncle was starting to know me very well. “Olivia.” That was all I had to say to get him on his feet and in front of me in seconds. “What the hell happened?” I went around him and took a seat. “Out with it already, what happened to Olivia?” I took a sip of my drink then placed the glass on the small table in front of me. “Luke, is Olivia sick?” He frowned. “Not to my knowledge, no.” I nodded.

“Well, I saw her. Her company was one of those who were pitching for the contract for the development of the new mall we want to build in New Village. I can’t get her image out of my mind. She lost so much weight that her clothes hung loose on her. Eyes sunken walking around like she was carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders.

Luke took a seat next to me wearing the same worried look had on my face. “We speak on the phone, but it’s not even longer than a minute then she would make an excuse and cut the call. I just thought she was busy, it never occurred to me that she might be sick. Let me call Marcus. He took his phone out then dialed Marcus. “Put it on speaker.” The phone rang a couple of times before Marcus’s voice come online.

“Luke, it’s been a while. What can I do for you?” We shared a look, he sounded urgent like he didn’t want to talk long. “It’s been a while indeed, is everything alright over there?” Marcus was quiet for a moment. “Yes, yes, everything is fine. Why do you ask?”

“Don’t lie to me Marcus, if everything is fine then why does Olivia look like that, what happened to her, is she sick, tell me now!” Luke was getting angry, I was too. It was clear that he was lying, “OH, that. It’s nothing serious, she was sick for a while but she is fine now.” Another lie. “If that is the case. Then I am coming over to take her to the doctor myself. I want the doctor to tell me that everything is fine.” Marcus panicked. “Why do you always want to stick your nose where it doesn’t belong? I told you she is fine and you still want to come here, why?

Luke and I shared a look. It was clear now that Marcus was hiding something. “Alright Marcus, I won’t interfere with your family.” Luke the cut the call. He stood and paced the room. Tension gathered on my shoulders, what the hell happened to Olivia?

“The bastard has the audacity to lie to me, why? What the hell is he doing to my daughter?” He turned to me, Nick, is your jet available? I want to go there, I can’t be late in saving my daughter again. Something is going on and Marcus doesn’t want me to hear about it. If there was nothing wrong he wouldn’t have lied.” He was right, something was going on and I was curious to know what the hell was going on.

“My jet is fueled and ready. I will make the call, when do you want to leave?” 1 regretted not going to see her, if I

did. I would have gotten her out of there already. Why didn‘ I go? Stupid Nick, what the hell were you thinking leaving New Village after seeing her like that?

“As soon as the jet is ready I want to leave. Make the call.” lid as told feeling sick to my stomach that I didn’t do anything. I thought I was respecting boundaries. The only one I respected boundaries might have been the time she needed me the most. Why the hell didn’t i go?

I made the call to my pilot and he told me they were going to be ready in four hours as they were busy with safety checks on the jet. I told Luke. “If Marcus did something to my daughter, I am going to kill him. I am tired of men thinking they can do what they please with my daughter and not face the consequences.”

one of those

Well, it didn’t take a genius to know that I was included in those men he was talking about. I was also who fucked up

and hurt his daughter. “He is the man your daughter loves and chose to spend her life with. You can’t just kill him because you are angry, that will only make her resent you.
