Something Like A Fairytale (On Hold)

Chapter 3

Olivia's POV:-

I was outside of the apartment building of Liam in my car drumming my fingers on the steering wheel nervously. Actually, nervous would be an understatement because I knew that the first step in his house I would be going crazy on the floor because of his sarcastic attitude. And it was my fault because I didn't take his calls or returned his texts.

It was time for me to pay.

Getting out of the car walked to the second floor. I didn't take the lift because I was stalling to see him.

He would kill me this time for sure.

I always disappeared whenever I felt like hiding. And whenever I did that I completely isolated myself from my family, friends everyone. I did that to control my thoughts. To stabilize me. And never told anyone where I would be or what I would be doing. It was my thing.

I rang the doorbell three times as usual. It was our thing to let know each other over our presence. He didn't open the door. He was angry. Definitely angry.

I opened his door with the spare key I had. He was standing in front of me a few steps away. Crossing his arms looking at me like I was criminal who did the heinous crime of the year.

I sighed looking down at my feet. And counted backward from 5 to 1.

1.

Now it starts.

"Welcome milady. How kind of you to grace peasant like me your presence. I'm honored." He said with a dramatic bow.

"Liam..."

"Milady, you shouldn't be standing on that filthy floor. I'm ashamed I couldn't even properly welcomed you. Should I lay the red carpet on the ground ? Or should I get refreshments ?" He said completely ignoring me.

"Listen, I was busy ok." I tried to explain.

"Oh milady. You shouldn't be here you should go back to work. Peasant like us is not worthy of your time." He said placing his right hand on his heart feigning hurt.

It was going overboard now.

"Liam quit the sulking. Please it's about Mia." I finally managed to say the words I was trying to say the second I stepped inside.

My words got his attention. He came closer placing his right hand on my shoulder and lifting my chin up to make me look in his eyes getting all serious he asked.

"What happened ? Is she alright ?"

He dragged me in the living room making me sit on the couch he sat in front of me on the coffee table facing me. I told him everything. About the company's bankruptcy. How my parents set Amy's marriage to Ash Knight. He was silent the whole time listening intently.

"That manipulative asshole. That bastard, he fucking tricked your parents for marriage. Poor Amy. I will kill him. You do hiding part of his dead body." He shrieked angrily.

He was aware of Ace Knight's colorful life.

He was also very protective of my sister. Even she was elder than us still he tried to protect her. He loved her like his own sister.

"I also want to kill him but it won't solve our problem."

"At least it will give satisfaction to me."

"I tried to find something to trap him but there wasn't much about his family or anything to blackmail him."

"Have you checked every tabloid ? Every news ?" He asked.

"What do you think ? What I did the whole week, huh ? I worked as a zombie without sleeping I was living on coffee and sandwiches" I retorted.

"Sorry." He mumbled scratching his neck nervously.

"You should be." I huffed.

"So what is the plan, huh ? I know your evil mind must have had a plan of his downfall ." He smirked.

I smiled. "You know me too well."

"So enlighten me with your precious thoughts." He rubbed his hands together in excitement.

"I found the advertisement for a job as a secretary in his company and I'm gonna apply for that."

"Do you think you will get the job ?"

"Are you doubting my abilities, Mr. Carter ?" I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Nope. I'm not. I'm just weighing the possibilities. But tell me how you are so sure that you will get the job." He asked honestly.

"Look I have graduated from a prestigious University. Plus I have worked in our company as an intern for the last eight months. And most importantly I am smart." I added.

Still, he wasn't convinced.

"Listen, buddy. He will take me as his secretary because I have worked in my company so he will think I have more information about the company. And he doesn't know who I am because I use my mother's last name in all my certificates and official documents." I said the last line with enthusiasm.

I didn't use my father's last name, Anderson. I used my mother's last name, Reeves.

Olivia Reeves. Aka Olivia Anderson.

"Remind me again why do you use your mother's last name ?" He asked me bringing me back to reality.

For God's sake !! I should kill him first.

"Liam...! I told you this story a hundred times ! Why do keep forgetting and asking me again and again ?" When I glared at him he shamelessly smiled.

"I kind of remember you telling me but I don't remember what you told me."

"Why I'm friends with you the only god knows. You are making me regret being your friend." I sighed.

"Now tell me."

"I use that last name because when I was 5 years old. My mom wanted a divorce from my father because she thought he was cheating on her. She left his house and stayed with my grandparents. My grandparents were so angry they immediately wanted a divorce. They didn't want anything with my father so they changed Mia and my last name to theirs. But after some clarification, they learned that it was just a misunderstanding he never cheated on my mother so they got together. Mia changed her last name again to Anderson. But I kept it because I liked it."

"Actually I remember the story but I wanted the revenge for ignoring me in the last week so I did this." He admitted sheepishly.

"You know what Liam you manage to get on every nerve of my body. I want to get angry but now Mia is more important,"  I said dismissively.
