UNKNOWN’S P.O.V“I regretted it! I regretted it terribly! Stealing from the poor…I didn’t know that he would find out and now I am on the run, hopefully I can get away…” I packed all my necessary belongings as fast as I could, sweat beaded on my forehead. Every second counted as I took quick glances at the clock. I sighed in relief, he didn’t find me as yet! I zipped up the backpack and headed for my front door…maybe I would get away with this…maybe I can survive this!However, as soon as I opened my front door that thought disappeared. About 7 or 8 black cars surrounded my house forming a semi-circle which I could not escape. Men in black suits and dark glasses stood in front of the cars, each one of them held a gun which pointed in my direction. But it wasn’t them that scared me…it was the unarmed man in the middle who made my palms sweaty and the hair in the back on my neck stand on ends! It was

OLIVIA’S P.O.VI just put on my second heel when I heard a hoot outside. Getting up from the dressing stool, I grabbed my purse and the next thing I knew was that I was on the floor. I groaned in pain then took out my phone and called my best friend.“Hey Dawn, can you come inside? I think I am going to be a while. Oh and come up to my bedroom, I need your help.” I said. “What’s wrong now? I told you to be ready by 6” she moaned, throwing herself on my bed, her gold sparkling dress was just long enough to cover her buttocks. “I was ready but these shoes are useless” I complained, holding the shoes in my hand. Lifting her head up to see what I was complaining about, “The shoes are useless?” she asked in a sarcastic voice. “Yes, they dropped me down and now I have to change my whole outfit” I tossed the shoes to the side and headed towards my closet. “Well, I guess that it’s better in a w

OLIVIA’S P.O.V“Morning sweetheart” my dad greeted as he joined me for breakfast. “Morning dad,” I said, playing around with my food rather than eating it. “Something on your mind?” he asked, noticing my stance. “Brad and I broke up last night” I informed him, but that wasn’t what was bothering me. “Hmmmm, Liv, we have more important things to bother about rather than Brad, besides it’s not like he came from a wealthy family,” he said, cold-heartedly. “I don’t understand how you could be so mean at times” my words came out in irritation. “Liv, honey, I am not being mean, I am just worried about your future,” he said and let out a heavy sigh. “Liv, I haven’t told you this because I thought that everything would be alright. I thought that we were just going through a phase. Sailing through such rough waters, I thought that our ship was just rocking according t

OLIVIA’S P.O.V“I would invest 40 million Euros in your business, Mr. Nightingale” Mr. Hunter offered my father an amount which was three times what we needed. “40 million Euros? That’s a very big amount Mr.Hunter and I am very grateful for your gratitude but what percentage of the profits would you take if you are willing to invest 40 million euros, Mr.Hunter?” my father’s face lit up with hope but he was still very wary. Something seemed wrong and I knew that my father sensed it too. “Oh no, Mr. Nightingale, have enough money to buy the entire world if I want to, but what fun would that be? Mr. Nightingale, in return for this 40 million I would take something much more valuable from you” he said, looking at me with his piercing Egyptian blue eyes. I know that I shouldn’t be but I couldn’t help but feel more attracted to him. “And what would that be?” my father asked a lump of fear in this thr

OLIVIA’S P.O.VAfter many hugs and tears, I kissed my father goodbye, took a deep breath and headed towards the door. I turned around one last time to see his watery eyes and a reassuring smile. I looked at our house for the last time, the memories of my childhood playing in my mind, so much laughter, so much joy, sooo many memories of my mother, father and I, all being left behind as I make this sacrifice to enter the next chapter of my life.Outside awaited a Limo to pick me up, it was very similar to the one that my father and I often traveled in, but it was not. This was sent by Austin Hunter, he wanted to make sure that I don’t get lost on the way and waste his ‘precious’ time. I rolled my eyes thinking about how egotistically he spoke last night.I felt stupid and weak, although I knew that the man is arrogant and too fond of himself for my liking…I was still head over heels about him. I know that I am going there as his empl

OLIVIA’S P.O.VI woke up from my deep sleep with a gentle touch across my face. Looking around me, I couldn’t tell who it might have been. “Ah, good you are awake, we are about to land,” Keith said to me. “Is it morning already?” I asked, still in a sleepy mood, I yawned and stretched. “Finally we are home,” Austin said, he seemed relieved to be back. The plane began to land and I held on tightly to my seat, this is the part that always has me scared, I’m okay during take-off and while we are in the air but landing feels like crushing to me. “Scared?” Austin asked, a wicked smile on his face. I shook my head, agreeing with him. “Don’t worry, you are safe with me. I have to keep you alive, can’t have my 400 million Euro worth secretary dying before she can even start” this is the most words as well as the sweetest thing that he has said to me since we have met. Even during the time when w

OLIVIA’S P.O.V“I have my own dresses you know,” I said politely even though I was irritated. I was irritated with everything, the very pretty bracelet that I had to wear which was actually a tracker, the rules of Stermytina, the fact that I had to wear an evening gown with flats because heels were not allowed on the marble floors. “Well, this is what Mr. Austin Hunter wants you to wear,” Grace said holding up a Barbie pink evening gown. “Well I hate that color and I would not wear that dress! It looks cheap! Did he get it from the dollar store?” I asked, my arms folded against my chest. “I don’t think that Mr. Austin Hunter would be very happy about that,” she said, holding the dress forward, suggesting that I take it from her. “Well, breaking news Grace! My happiness is far more important than his and I would not let him tell me what to wear” I said. “Very well Madam, I just hope that he does not

OLIVIA’S P.O.V“Is that what you are going to wear for your first day?” Austin asked, he seemed disappointed with my grey and black check coat and matching skirt. “Yes, Why? What’s wrong with the outfit? I used to wear similar ones all the time when I went to my Dad’s company” I said, sitting opposite him for breakfast. Keith and Jake seemed completely uninterested in our conversation. “Well, I think that you must remember that this is not your father’s company and you are no longer the boss’s daughter because I am the boss now,” he said. “Mr.Hunter, I am well aware of that but what does that have to do with my outfit?” I asked him, smartly with a smile, my irritation ceased when I saw him get annoyed. I won’t lie and say that I did not feel a little bit of satisfaction for annoying him after he insulted my outfit. “Just get to the point Aus, her outfit is turning you on?” Jake jok

OLIVIA’S P.O.VDear DiaryI don’t like her, Belinda Cassidy. I know that it is wrong not to like someone just because they are with the person that you want, I was brought up better than that, I was taught better than that, yet I don’t like her. And it’s quite clear that she doesn’t like me either. Why does he even need a personal assistant when I literally did all the work by myself. I organized his meetings, made phone calls on behalf of him, sent out emails on his behalf, etc…what did she do? What does she even do? It really doesn’t look like she can do anything! Anyways that’s enough venting for today, I really hope that everything gets better. I haven’t spoken to my father since I left New York, it’s not like I am not trying but every time that I try to call him his phone goes on voicemail. I need to ask Dawn to check up on him, she is literally the only person I can count on…but I will do that to

OLIVIA’S P.O.V“Good morning” I greeted them as we went down to breakfast. “Good morning Liv, did you sleep well last night?” I was surprised that Austin was igniting conversation while the other two brothers just greeted me. “Not really, I barely got any sleep” they all broke their attention from their breakfast and focused on me. “And why is that?” Austin asked. “There was so much noise,” I said. “Oh yeah, sorry about that. We were watching a movie, we will remember to put the volume lower next time” I knew that Keith was just covering up, the movie room is not in the North wing! However, still exhausted from all the work that I had to do yesterday and not getting any sleep, I had no energy to debate this topic any further.……Today felt like Deja vu at the office. We entered together with all eyes on us, he hugged her and I was left alone at my desk while they both wen
