Chapter 21

At that same time, still on the road, the driver, keeping his focused attention on the road, asked, sighting James at the back through the rearview mirror, “What happened? Is she asking for a divorce?” He asked.

James shook his head, “No, but a divorce would have been better than living with her this way. She’s grown so cold that I don't get to understand her anymore. I keep trying my best to get her attention and make her feel loved, but all I get is disappointment in return.” He answered, his voice filled with frustration.

The driver listened carefully, feeling his frustration.

James paused and continued, “I feel like giving up on this marriage, for real.” His shoulder slumped and his face turned pale.

Once he was done talking, the driver took a deep breath, sighing heavily with sympathy before he began thoughtfully, “I understand your pain, son. Challenges in life are sometimes like this. Not favorable as we thought it would be. But thinking about divorcing her

There was a moment of quietness as Joshua drove through the lovely street. As he drove, he occasionally glanced at Olivia who was busy looking outside through the window. Cool music was playing in the background, keeping the inside of the car a little bit lively. Although focused on the steering wheel, Joshua didn't fail to look at Olivia. As a result, he broke the silence in the car, “Olivia,” he called, and she turned to look at him. He continued, “What's going on in your mind? You've been quiet for quite a long time now. Can you tell me what the problem is?” He asked, his voice sounding concerned. Olivia took a deep breath, shifting slightly on her seat. She shook her head and reluctantly answered, “Nothing’s the problem. Thanks for your concern.” Joshua sighed, shaking his head, not satisfied with her reply

I know you already have a reservation here, please kindly proceed to the hall.” Respect laced in his voice, and his smile widened.Joshua nodded with a smile, saying no word. Olivia's hand still tightened in his softly.The security guard decided to add, attempting to get some bucks from Joshua, “Your wife looks beautiful. You're blessed with her.” A smile played on Joshua's face again. He was just about to speak, but Olivia interrupted, wearing a frown face, “Thanks for the compliment, but we're not couples, okay?” She replied, her tone sharp.The security guard slowly nodded, shame washed over him. He didn't see that coming his way.Joshua looked at Olivia and swallowed hard. A bit of embarrassment was plastered on his face. He didn't say a word as he gestured at Olivia for them to go in.As they moved an inch away from

    Chapter 25 “Wow, the exterior design looks more beautiful than I could ever imagine,” Olivia exclaimed, clearly shocked just like James had been earlier. Joshua chuckled and replied, pride inscribed in his voice, “Yeah. This is where I love to come and spend my day whenever I'm tired. My favorite.” Olivia nodded, glancing around the whole place, breath-taking in the aroma of dishes and wines that filled the air. However, she didn't notice James' presence in the place. “That's enough now, Olivia,” Joshua snapped politely, “stop looking around so the customers won't think otherwise. Let's go and have a seat and order something for ourselves.” With a nod from Olivia, Joshua led her to a vacant table, not a far distance away from where James was seated with his father. “Please, sit,” Joshua gestured to a seat and Olivia backed where James was seated. Joshua also sat down not a minute after Olivia was seated, facing the direction of James but taking no notice of him yet. A

Thomas was about to eat when he noticed the hesitant movement of James, he paused and looked at him. Reluctantly, he asked, “James, what's the problem? Why did you suddenly stop?” Without waiting for a reply, he turned around, looking towards where James was staring at. “What did you see?” He repeated, almost getting anxious. James pointed directly at Olivia, “That's my wife over there.” He replied his voice cracking, feeling hurt. Although he knew about Olivia going out on a dinner night with Joshua, he was literally hurt because he never expected to see her at the same venue. “Your wife?” Thomas was taken aback, “what's she doing here with another man? Aren't you both not supposed to be with each other?” A hint of disappointment flashed through his eyes. James noticed the disappointment in his father's eye so he said, trying to keep ever

    Chapter 27 James halted and stood in front of both Olivia and Joshua, consumed with anger. Olivia instantly stood up with surprise. “J–James?” She said, almost stammering, “what are you doing here?” She asked, looking at him. Joshua also stood and chided in, “How did you get in here? Who allowed someone as dirty as you to be here?!” He mocked. They knew James didn't have what it takes to be here. James' face darkened at Joshua's sarcastic voice but he kept himself in check. He looked at Olivia and said, “Let's go home. I can't let you stay with this spoiled brat and have him force himself on you.” He said, irritated. A clear image of when Joshua was trying to flirt with Olivia crossed his eyes. “Force myself on her? Have you gone mad? How dare you accuse me of nonsense?!” Joshua protested and turned to Olivia. “What’s he talking about? Did I try to force myself on you?” Olivia shook her head. Satisfied, Joshua fired back at James, “Who the hell then gave you the right

    Chapter 28The staff member looked at him, incredulity etched on his face. He looked at James from his head down to his toe. To him, James didn't look like who could have up to $200 on him. He frowned deeply, “Are you trying to play with me? Or do I look like one who's in the mood for that?” James glared at him, “You requested a payment, didn't you? And I asked for your account details and you think I'm joking here? Do I also look like who's joking here? I want your account details now, or if I change my mind, you aren't going to receive it, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.” He said, firmness laced in his voice.The staff member staggered back. James' words carried so much confidence and authority that made him look at him twice. He absorbed hard, still staring at James, not believing he could pay for the damages. Nonetheless, he reluctantly began to call out his account details, “437 576 249…….” “A minute,” James interrupted and reached out his hand into his po

She folded her arms, “No, I didn't. I was surprised to see him there as well.” Joshua looked at her, confused but believed her. “I'm very sure he was there to wash dishes to earn some bucks.” He said with sharp sarcasm. “Or perhaps to beg for bucks.” He paused.“Olivia, isn't this becoming obvious that James is just trying to bring shame and disgrace to your family?” He asked, attempting to add Olivia's already frustrated state.Olivia only let out a frustrated sigh. Her face was coated with anger. “It's self-explanatory,” Joshua continued, “that guy has no shame and he's trying to get your family involved. What would people say if they found out you're still kee

    “How about that? Can you go in for it?” Joshua said to James, his voice mocking.James nodded softly with a soft chuckle but when he tried to speak, Olivia interjected, hitting her bag, already got enough of their drama. “Joshua, this should stop,” she said, frustrated. “This isn't what we came here for….”“But your husband brought this up, didn't he?” Mary interrupted, her tone sharp. Olivia heaved out an exasperated sigh, her breath shallow. She glanced at James, then to Mary, “It's fine; let's move on to other things and stop this challenge of a thing. Please.” “Alright, alright,” Joshua tilted his head, “I’m only heeding because of you. If not I would have humiliated this man so badly in front of everyone.” Mary nodded as well since Joshua had accepted, “Alright, let's go guys. The party is about to start.” Soon, everywhere became calm with soft music playing in the background. Everyone settled down on their seat, each table filled with different kinds of wine according to eac

    As James entered the hall, his foot stepping onto the glossy marble floor, his jaw dropped to the ground in astonishment. The hall was an extravagant room, feeling luxurious and grand. The high ceilings held a sparkling chandelier raining down lights and the walls were adorned with ornate rugs, priceless artwork exuding wealth. The velvet sofas and intricately carved wooden tables were plushly arranged in the hall. James' eyes darted to the huge windows draped with heavy, flowing curtains, then to the crystal vases filled with fresh scent flowers; he gasped audibly. Every detail felt rich and intentional. “This…..is called wealth,” James mumbled, impressed. Glancing around the hall filled with people trying to take their seats, James spotted Olivia with a lady, having a conversation and he walked towards them. Meanwhile, among the crowd, a lady dressed in a crop-topped shirt and a pair of pants revealing her soft and smooth thighs, embraced Olivia into a warm hug, smiling broadl

    Another said, barely above a whisper, “He's so handsome. Prince charming!” “His father must be a billionaire and he….the heir.” A third person joined in, her mouth dropped to the ground in awe. “If not for the bodyguards, I would have gone to take pictures with him and frame it but I'm afraid….I might get beaten up.” While all these were going on—the flirting words from the ladies, the respective waves from the guys, and also the steadied gazes from onlookers, Joshua just carried himself with pride without paying any attention to them. Meanwhile, at the entrance to the main hall where the birthday party was to take place, the security guard there blocked James' path after letting Olivia go in. A hint of irritation ran through his eyes as he let them trail over James reiteratively. He wasn't expecting to see someone like him in this place. So, he said, “Who are you and where are you going?” The security guard asked James with a frown, his arms crossed. With an eyebrow ar

    Meanwhile, Olivia arrived at Harris’ compound, Mary's place, with her old Nissan Versa. She drove further into the available space in the parking lot and came to a halt, carefully parking. As Olivia stepped out, her gaze fell on the cars already parked there and she gasped audibly, apprehending the force Mary's father's birthday party would carry. Beside her car were Mercedes AMG, Rolls Royce, Range Rover, etc. Hers was the only odd one out. Olivia's face blushed with a mix of shame and embarrassment but she tried to keep a composed demeanor as she saw more cars driving in. James then stepped out too, and a shocking shiver ran down his spine. “Wow, t—these are mind-blowing.” He admitted, his voice wavering. However, he tried not to stare much to avoid being embarrassed as he followed Olivia from behind. The compound was filled with people of caliber, all well-dressed. The men were dressed up; some were in gray suits with their luxury watches situated around their wrists,

    Grandma Aurora's eyes fell on him, screwing up into a mixture of disdain and tight frown, “Are you going out with him?” She asked, burning James with so much hatred. Olivia bit her lips, nervously and gave a slow nod, “Yes, Granny. My friend asked for it so I—” She tried to answer when Grandma Aurora interjected, displaying fury. “And you consented to it?” She asked, her voice sharp and filled with irritation. “How could you agree to it? Don't you know this is an attempt to mock our family—the Parkers?” Olivia just swallowed hard, listening to everything her grandmother was saying. Her head was slightly facing the ground in shame. Grandma Aurora continued, pointing at James with contempt, “Take a look at him, does he even look any good to follow you to such a significant event?” James just stood, crossing his arms as he listened but the words were having no negative effects on him. Instead, he was smiling lightly to himself, finding the words humorous. Leonard also wanted

    Olivia winked, “Why? Haven't I been looking beautiful before?” James quickly shook his head, indicating that was not what he meant. “Nah, I mean you look more different in the gown I bought for you. It just looks perfect on you.” Olivia's face twisted into a tight frown as she moved forward dramatically and shut him off. “No, go on…” she said, annoyed, “come on, go ahead and tell the whole world you bought a replica for me, and I accepted.” James' eyes flashed with confusion about how Olivia was just getting him all wrong, however, he didn't say a word. Olivia continued, a hint of disgust lacing in her voice, “You should be ashamed of yourself that guys of your age are getting their wives expensive things and here you are, making noise about gifting me a replica. And so you know…. I'm not putting this on after today. I only accepted it because I don't have any new clothes to put on.” Janes opened his mouth to speak, but Olivia cut him off again, this time before he could ut

    Evelyn hurriedly shook her head with a smile, “Not really, James. Come to check if you were back….and here you're…I think I have to give the both of you space to carry on…” She rushed out of the room, closing the door behind her before James or Olivia could even say a word. James and Olivia both looked at each other, confused about Evelyn's last word. To carry on with what exactly? Olivia raised her eyebrows with a slight frown, “This woman is so unbelievable at times.” She said under her breath. James shook his head and a small smile crept over his face, knowing Evelyn's intention for making such a comment. She was trying to get Olivia and him close to each other. Funny. He then held the towel wrapped around his waist about to pull it off to oil his boy…. At that same moment, after letting out a deep sigh, Olivia turned around only for her sharp gaze to land on James when he was on the verge of removing his towel. Her eyes flinched and she immediately covered her face w

    Chapter 57 Stepping into the room, James locked eyes with Olivia's. He slightly averted her gaze, closed the door behind him, and moved further into the room. “Olivia,” he called out, placing the gown on the bed. “I bought this for you.” He said, observing how she was going to react. Olivia raised a surprised eyebrow at him before reluctantly sitting up on the bed. Dropping her phone down, she asked, looking at James before eyeing the nylon bag. “You bought something for me.” She furrowed her eyebrows, “what is it?” James nodded with a smile, “It's something you'd love, please, check it out yourself.” He gestured to the bag, wanting Olivia to open it by herself. Olivia shifted her body on the bed as her gaze locked with James’. Doubt crept onto her face, not believing what James was saying. But after giving James a last glance, she hesitatedly drew the nylon bag close to herself and started to unwrap it with an impatient expression. James stood, his arms lapping across h

    Chapter 56 James paused briefly and leaned forward on his seat. Raising an eyebrow at the driver, utterly confused, “What's that?” He asked. The driver cleared his throat and repeated, “I mean….how you helped those random strangers with $300 each. I saw that.” “That?” James gave a casual wave of hand, “They are not random strangers—they are like family to me, so it's nothing.” Hearing that, the driver's eyes blinked in surprise yet intrigued. “Oh, I see.” He said softly. “That means you're worth millions if you can give someone $300 in just a second.” “Okay.” James just casually said, shrugging his shoulders. Without a word he leaned back on his seat, his face lit up with joy again after taking another glimpse at the packaged gown. The driver, still interested in having a conversation with James, spoke again after several reluctances, his voice was calm and a mix of concern and worry, “Sir…it seems like you have a little cut on your forehead, what happened?
