OLIVIA
The Maldives was a beautiful place, serene. Nothing or no place could compare to It. being there felt like paradise. I felt free, not once did I think about my husband, I had everything and everyone who meant something to me by
side. Marcus was busy with his daughter, the most important person in his life.

1 limped to the balcony and closed my eyes feeling the sea breeze gently caressing my face. I inhaled deeply smiling as I did so. I should have gone there sooner. “I know Nick, but I will not tell you where we are and don’t try to look into it because you will be killed or detained until I come back.” I didn’t want to be hearing anything about the people back there.
Luke was on the balcony as well taking a call, I didn’t notice him at first until he spoke. “I don’t care about that, this time, I am thinking only about my daughter, what you and Marcus want is none of my business. Don’t call me again.”
I couldn’t go back inside and pretend like I didn’t hear anything. When he turned to go back inside, he saw me.” Olivia don’t worry. I didn’t tell them anything.” I wasn’t worried, Luke always wanted me away from them. “I am not worried about anything because you are here.” A smile broke on his face.
The man didn’t smile often and when he does, it’s a beautiful sight. “I am glad, come and join us for breakfast but be prepared, we are eating pancakes.” I laughed, that had Samuel written all over it. I walked back inside and out the door to the next room.
“God sure took his time creating you.” I looked up and a very handsome Greek god was standing in front of me. wearing a white linen pants and a white shirt. Sandals on his feet, lips a light red and juicy looking. Eyes as blue as the ocean.
No, God sure took his time making him. he sculptured him just right. His golden hair messy on his head. Goodness! I felt alive just staring at him. “Be my friend then, I see you like me just as much as I like you.” he said
cologne. but he sounded so close, and his features were so close that I could smell hi
Wait! I got back to my senses, and he was so close to me. I took a step back but stumbled almost falling since I still had a broken leg. That was not a good impression. He steadied me. “I see how you broke your arm and leg. You are clumsy, I will have to look after you now and make sure you don’t injure yourself more.”
“And why would you do that?” we both turhed, and my father was standing there. Apron on and…I didn’t know what the white stuff all over him was, could be flour. “Hi, my name is Xander, and I am her friend.” Luke looked at me. I just stood there, too shocked to say anything.
“Mmm, right! Come on in then. We are about to have breakfast.” Before I could protest, Xander, the god, was already by the door. He turned to me with a smile. “Come on…” that was my dad’s room, and he was inviting me as if I was the guest not him.
When I walked in he was already sitting next to Samuel. I took a seat opposite them, my dad brought more food to the table then joined us. “So, Xander, are you a tourist or a local?” he glanced at me smiling.
“Both I would say, I grew up here but left to study abroad after high school then came back opened my business on this side as well, you know, to create jobs for the island people.” Luke looked impressed. “That is good, more like giving back to the community that raised you.”
“My thoughts exactly.”

“What about you? I assume you are tourists seeing that you are staying in a hotel?” what about him, he just came out from one of the rooms, we could say the same about him. “Oh, I am a businessman, and I own this hotel. But this time I wanted to show the island to my daughter and grandson.”

The man didn’t even know my name and yet he was sitting at our table eating our food. “That is good to know, I always wondered who opened the hotel. It helped many of our people with jobs. Thank you, sir.” Luke smiled.
He was not used to people thanking him for a good thing he has done. The man was a killer, doing good was not in his vocabulary. “Oh, it’s nothing.” He wiped syrup from Samuel’s cheek and my baby smiled at him.
Which shocked me because my son was not friendly to strangers. “Am shocked he let you do that and even smiled at you. my grandson is not the friendly type.” Xander laughed. “Maybe he can tell that I am a dad too. I have a boy his age. He is at the pool side with his nanny right now.‘
Oh, wow. “Where is the mother?” I found myself asking, why did I ask that? ‘Damnit Olivia, he is now going to think you are desperate for a man. Wait, what am I saying? He can see the ring on my finger, no need to worry about such things.”
“Well, his mother passed away three years ago in an accident.” That made me feel like an ass for asking. “Am sorry to hear that.” he offered me a bright smile. “It’s alright, Justin and I are alright. We have healed but there will always be something missing in his life, a mother.” Naturally, I wouldn’t forget that easy as well. noveldrama
“I see you are married, or was married?” Luke looked between Xander and I. “If you are friends, how is it that you don’t know that she is married?” Xander laughed.
“We just met a moment ago, we are yet to get to know each other and our children of course. Also, I can be your tour guide and take you to all the nice spots. Of course, I will make sure we only go to places that are safe for a cripple.” They all laughed. Wow.
“Not you too, dad and it’s not funny.” They laughed even more, even Samuel laughed. For the first time since I left home, I felt happy. Maybe having Xander around was not such a bad idea.
