OLIVIA
I didn’t know if I heard right or If I was hearing things, but just stood there waiting for him to repeat himself. Talk to me.” he said, and I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. “Am not sure what am supposed to say ”
“It’s a simple answer that I am looking for, a yes or a no.“oh, Lord, he did ask me to marry him. oh God. I never thought I would get married again and I was fine with that, also, Marcus and I just started dating “You don’t know me that well to be asking me to marry you and besides, we have a lot of work to do. Nick is attacking you that means his attacking me too. Let’s focus on that.”
and
He said nothing and just looked at me. I didn’t know what se to say, so, I took a seat and looked out the window. “Look at me, Olivia.” I turned to look at him. “Do I look like I am worried about what Nick is doing?” he didn’t look worried at all. It was like those businesses meant nothing to him.
“No and why is that, why are you not worried about what is happening? Your assets are frozen.” He chuckled.” Yes, those that they know of are frozen. The only reason I was worried before was when people were stealing from me, I wanted to know who has the audacity to try something like that with me, not about the money they were taking. Also, I thought they might want to sabotage your business, and I couldn’t let that happen.”
Hust looked at him with nothing to say. “Look Olivia, I have known you for years and yes, I left the city and went abroad. I have grown from the poor boy you once knew, even then I knew what I wanted and that was you. I still want you, Olivia, by myside and not as my girlfriend or fling or whatever. I want you as my wife.”
I knew the boy not the man. I still needed to learn about the man, get to know him. “Look, we can have a long engagement if that is what you want but I want you wearing my ring as a sign that you are mine and I am yours. Marry me, Olivia Williams. Forget Nick and what he is doing, he will get tired when I don’t play his game and to be honest. I don’t have time to play with a grown man, but I will play with you.” he winked at me making me blush.
What the hell, it’s been three years since Nick and I were ever anything. Our marriage ended when he sent me to jail. Two years later we got a divorce, now I was a free woman who could do whatever she wanted. “A long engagement it…”
“No!” we both turned to the door and Nick was standing there looking angry. We were busy looking into each other’s eyes that we didn’t notice when he got there. “No, what?” he threw a glare Marcus’s way then looked at me and walked in and stood in front of me.
“Olivia don’t do it. Please don’t marry this man.” He looked like he was about to cry, I wished I had this Nick back then but instead I had the cruel and heartless one. The one who served me with divorce papers without saying a word, like he just wanted to get it over and done with. That same man was standing in front of me now asking me not to marry someone else.
“Olivia, please. We can still fix things. I know I did you wrong and I caused you so much pain. But I can make it up to you, anything you want for us to fix things, I will make it happen. You name it and it will be so. Please, my heart. Don’t do it, don’t leave me. give me time to explain things to you and maybe you will understand.”
My heart, it has been a long time since I heard him call me his heart. I used to like it when he called me that, my heart would flutter, and butterflies would swarm in my stomach. But now, nothing happened. Hearing It didn’t make me feel that way, maybe I was over the man. “Nick, we have nothing to talk about, we are divorced and…” noveldrama
“Just give me time to explain things to you and…”
“Nick, there is nothing to explain, I know everything that happened. It happened to me, remember?” he was starting to piss me off, what was there to explain when I was the one who went through everything. “I know you let Sandra fool you and you sent me to jail without hearing my side of things. You locked me up there and didn’t
even allow me visitors. My grandmother died and I never go to say my goodbyes.”
I sighed as I wiped a lone tear that escaped my eye. “As if that was not enough, I had my son there and I lost…” I stopped myself before I could say more. “Nick, please leave You are upsetting her and making her cry, I don’t like that, please leave.” Marcus tried to kick him out. “I am not leaving; this is my wife and…”
“I am not your wife anymore, we are divorced. Now leave!” the audacity of the man. He looked at me for a while then turned and left. I wiped my tears then turned to Marci “I have something to tell you, if you want to marry me then you should know the truth about what happened to me back then. When I was in prison.”
I
He should know what he wanted to get himself into. I was no longer the Olivia he once knew. I was now a grown damaged woman. “There is nothing you can say that would change my mind about you, Olivia. And besides, know all there is to know about your stay in that prison. That is why I moved back here permanently when I found
out.”
I looked at him shocked, I thought only Nick’s parents knew about that. “Olivia don’t over think it, I want you as you are, I don’t care about anything else. Now, are you going to marry me or not?”
What do you think?
