THE PLAN

The Plan (Chapter Three)

Olivia's POV:

The rest of the day was a rollercoaster for me as I tried to fathom what happened earlier. I lay flatly on my bed with tears streaming from my eyes. The fact that he couldn't recognize me broke me more.

I remember how it all started. Liam was my class captain back in high school. He was smart, intelligent, and a genius when it came to mathematics. My brain was blank when it came to mathematics so I needed a helping hand. Our friendship started from teaching me mathematics after school hours to lovers. Everyone in school thought we were just friends because of our closeness but they never knew we were lovers. I would sneak out of the house on Saturdays just to see him.

One day, On a rainy Saturday evening. I sneaked out of the house to see Liam. If only I knew that Saturday wasn't going to be like the other Saturdays when we just talked and played. On this particular day, Liam was a bit erotic, he kept touching me sexually. One thing led to another we had s*x. That was the first time I was having s*x. Liam took my virginity. I still remember how scared I was and how I begged him to stop countless times but he refused and kept pounding on me. If only I knew that once could get me pregnant.

Three weeks after the incident, I found out I was pregnant. I told Liam about it and he assured me he was going to find a way out. A few days later, Liam was nowhere to be found. I felt betrayed. My father found out about the pregnancy and chased me out of the house. A generous stranger took me in. I stayed with her till I delivered my baby boy but unfortunately, my son went missing when he was barely a year old. I just had to pick up my broken pieces and start life afresh.

As I lay in my bed thinking about the past, A range of anger was popping in me

"He left me all alone with his seed in me. I became a mother at fourteen. I went through hell. I lost my bond with my family because of him" I yelled in anger.

"Fine!" I yelled again. "I understand he lost his memory but those that make you a monster. Does that make you treat people like s**t?" I questioned myself loudly trying to battle with my conscience.

To be honest, a part of me was feeling sorry for him and another part of me was seriously mad at him and seeking revenge.

Why does it have to be him? This was a life-changing opportunity and he just ruined it! Have already made plans on how I'm going to spend the remaining part of the money once Mr. Lucas hands it over to me and now he just ruined it.

I need to quit the Job. I can't bear to see his face. But how am I going to tell Mr Lucas that I want to quit? How am I going to repay part of the money I have already used for Aunt Matilda's hospital bills?

Mr. Lucas has given me some part of the money, which I have already used in sorting Aunty's hospital bill. Aunt Matilda is the main reason I signed the deal. She is the kind stranger who took me in when my father chased me out. Sheltered me and made sure I went back to school. Now she's sick. I just couldn't fold my hands and watch her die.

I was so lost in thought until The vibration from my cellphone brought me back to reality. I jerked up from the bed upon seeing Mr Lucas's name on my phone scream. he must have heard what happened at the office. I was too scared to pick up, I just watched the phone buzz. The phone kept buzzing. When I realized Mr Lucas wasn't going to give up, I finally summoned the courage to pick up the call.

"Hello, Goo..good evening..sir' I stuttered in fear.

"Olivia don't try to play games with me. Am not a nice person just so you know, and you won't like the outcome of your actions!" He yelled over the phone.

"Sir please, I can explain" I manage to say amidst the fear.

"Keep your explanation to yourself. Have already pleaded on your behalf and he gave you another opportunity to work with him. Get your ass up tomorrow morning and go to work. Don't try to ruin this for me. I will ruin you instead" he concluded and hung up.

Was that a threat or what? What have I gotten myself into? Someone who could plot against his nephew can do worse to me. Why did I even sign the deal in the first plan? I have never done any dirty job all my life. Why did I agree to this? I cried in regret. my quest for money to sort Aunt Matilda's bills has caused me this.

"I can't bear to see his face, let alone work with him. He brings back all the bad memories, the pain, the rejection, the loss!" I said in tears.

"Hold on" I snapped out On a second thought. Maybe this is my opportunity to pay him back for everything he caused me. This is my time to revenge on him. Regardless he lost his memory. the fact here is I suffered because of him and he has just been living lavishly all these years while I could barely feed. This is my opportunity to revenge on him.

Liam's POV:

"Welcome sir" my security guard greeted me as I drove into the garage.

"Why did it take you so long to open the gate?" I asked him vexed as I hopped down from the car.

"Sorry sir, I was.."

I didn't allow him to finish the words as I cut in outrageously. "Next time you repeat this nonsense, you will be fired," I said and stormed into the mansion with my briefcase.

"Welcome sir" the maid greeted and held my briefcase.

"Be very careful with that briefcase. You can't afford it even if you work for your entire lifetime" I said and looked at her in disgust.

"Sorry sir" she apologized and bent her knees.

"Sorry for yourself. Keep it in my room, and turn on the water heater." I instructed her, pulled my suit, and sat on the sofa.

"Okay sir" she responded and walked out.

My name is Liam Walker. I'm the only child of my parents. I and my parent were involved in a fatal car accident that took their life so I was told. I can't remember anything about them or my past life, because I'm suffering from retrograde amnesia that's happening as a result of the injury I sustained on my head from the accident. The only thing I could remember when I woke up, was my name.

My uncle told me It wasn't an accident that it was planned. One of my father's staff drained the brake fluid on the car, which resulted in the incident. He said despite my father being very nice and generous to the staff, he still chose to do that to him. So I swore to myself I was not going to be like my dad. I will be very hostile to people especially the paupers because in their hearts is the den of evil.

"What are you doing here?" I asked seeing the maid walking back into the sitting room.

"Sir, I came to tell you that I have turned on the heater," she replied.

"Is that why you came back?" I asked vexed. "Get out of my face, you disgust me!" I yelled.

"Sorry sir, sorry sir" she repeated in fear and tried running out.

"Stop there!" I shouted. "Get me a glass of Wine".

"Okay sir" she replied and ran out.

That is how they behave. Always acting innocent yet they take advantage of one's kindness. "Worthless beings". I hissed and I picked up the TV remote on the table. The event that happened at the office today flashed back to my mind.

"I shouldn't have agreed for her to come back," I said to myself and snapped my feet.

Who calls their boss by his name? She is just pretty but has nothing upstairs. Beauty with no brain. I don't even know what my uncle sees in her that he kept pleading on her behalf. Nevertheless, I won't let it just slide. She will be punished for addressing me by my name. I will make her stay in the office so miserable that she won't have any other option but to quit the job.

I was still very much lost in thinking when the maid walked in with the glass of wine. I instructed her to place it on the table. I took a sip from the wine and ambled to my room.

My thoughts Throughout the whole night were about my new assistant. I need to teach her a lesson. Make her understand that Liam Walker is never to be disrespected.
