Olivia woke up to the bright morning sun shining across the room. She covered her hand against her mouth when she saw she wasn't at home. Then the thought of last night's event came to her mind.
"Oh my God! " She screamed. She tried getting up from bed when she felt pain in between her legs. She couldn't believe she had just sold her virginity to someone. Suddenly, the door in the room opened and a young man stepped in with a tray of meals in his hands.
"Oh I see, you're awake, " he said excitedly, and approached her with the tray. He sat beside her and pushed the tray closed to her, gesturing for her to eat.
"Hey, look, what happened last night was a mistake . I was carried away by the alcohol I drank, " she said, staring at the young man beside her.
"But you asked for it _, " he said, but was cut shut by Olivia.
"I'm sorry , I have to go, I can't keep on talking to you. I have something to do today, " she picked up her things and went to the bathroom. After taking a shower and dressing up, she left him in the room dumbfounded.
Lucas just stared at the food he ordered for her . It was getting cold. He had no choice but to throw them in the bin inside the room he was in.
He then called one of his men and signalled for him to keep an eye on Olivia. He didn't want to lose such a beautiful girl to the other men of the world.

Olivia rushed out of the building where she spent the night. She unlocked her phone only to see 20 missed calls from both her parents. She knew once she was home, she would be scolded.
She stopped a taxi that was passing by and gave the driver the directions to her house. She wanted to be there on time, so she could prepare for her wedding.
She'd already concluded that she was going to live with the billionaire, fulfil his expectations, and then start a new life. She wasn't going back to her cheating boyfriend after all that happened yesterday.
She tried replaying the video once again, but put her phone and went back into her bag. She didn't want to start sobbing and then get stares from the driver in the rear view.
She got out of the car quickly after paying the driver. She walked straight to the front door and opened it, only to see the deadly stares her father gave her and her mother, who was sobbing behind her father.
"Olivia, where have you been since yesterday? " Rachel went straight to her and held her arms with both hands.
"We've been looking for you since yesterday. You didn't join us for dinner. Did you know how worried we were? " Rachel added.
"She was lucky she had returned 5 hours before the wedding. If by chance the wedding was cancelled, I would have skimmed her alive, " Alexander snapped, leaving them in the living room and answering the incoming call he got. Olivia just stared at him as he left their presence before zeroing her gaze on her mother.
"Come quickly, we need to prepare you for the wedding, " Rachel dragged Olivia's hands to her room .
"Quickly put on something. There's a car waiting for you outside. You'd be going to a hotel where you'd get prepared before your wedding, " Rachel kept her hands on her waist, watching Olivia, who was just lazily walking to her wardrobe, looking for what to wear.
When she was done putting on her dress, she headed downstairs with her mother. The front door was open and she got a view of the black Rolls Royce in front of their building.

"I, Olivia Martinez, take Rodrigo Hernandez to be my husband. _ "She didn't pronounce the word lovely, she thought it felt awkward while doing so, and Rodrigo was a little bit annoyed because of that.
" I hereby pronounce you two, husband and wife, you may kiss your bride," the priest said.
Fuck! The part she hates most, she cursed.
Rodrigo pressed his lips against hers. It wasn't intense and it wasn't that romantic like Lucas's.
The wedding reception went on and they received congratulatory messages from different families and friends.
Oh, my beautiful daughter , you look amazing in your dress, " Rachel said as tears of joy slid down her cheeks. Now, at least, she has something to boast about when she's around her friends.
Her father, Alexander, stepped into their midst. He didn't know what to do at that moment. He felt excited, at least now his company could stand firm again and compete with his class.
He hurriedly pulled her in a hug, “Thank you,” he said. Olivia could feel his breath on the back of her neck. At least he'd gotten what he wanted back. She wasn't in the mood to talk to her family at that moment. All she wanted was for the reception to be over then She could go home and start planning her new life with her husband.
"Oh, Olivia, there you are. Come and shake hands with my friends. They need to see you, " Rodrigo smiled excitedly, as he dragged Olivia out of Alexander's presence. Alexander just watched as the couple left his sight. He couldn't do anything. She's married to meet you, Mr. Parker, " Olivia shook hands with one of Rodrigo's business associates.
"Nice to meet you too, Mrs. Olivia, " He kissed the back of her hand and smiled seductively. Olivia felt uncomfortable with that and removed her hand from his hold immediately.
" I'll be attending to my special guest that came to the party. Make yourself comfortable in the meantime, " Rodrigo left her and rushed to where his other guests were.
Olivia was getting exhausted from the whole event. She needed to rest. She proceeded to the restroom, not answering any questions the journalists who were at her reception threw at her.
Yeah, Rodrigo was a well-known businessman, so why wouldn't a journalist come to his wedding? They knew the amount of money they could make once they reported the event on the net.
She turned on the tap in the restroom, washing her face with the clean water gushing out of it. She then arranged her hair in a ponytail. She adjusted the upper part of her dress, so as not to look exposed that much, and then applied a little makeup on her face again.
She looked beautiful even with a little makeup.
She then left the restroom, proceeding to the reception area to at least get a glass of juice. She never loved alcohol and took alcohol just to calm her head. The other day,
Suddenly, someone nudged her shoulders from behind. She turned around to meet the eyes of her second best friend, Rosaline.
Her blue eyes matched her well-carved brows perfectly. She wore an elegant blue dress that made her look perfect. Both her side bag and everything about her was blue.
They chatted and exchanged smiles when Olivia zeroed her gaze on the figure chanting and laughing comfortably around her husband.
'Oh God , this is bad', she said to herself, as she swallowed the lump in her throat. Her heart also throbbed fast at the figure that caught her eyes. She looked afraid, to say the least.
What's he doing here? Was he stalking me, or what?
She needed to act fast before he did anything fishy, but what possibly could she do?
