Chapter 1
PREGNANCY
Olivia Perkins headed to her home with excitement with the test results carefully tucked in her purse. All the way home, she thought of how to break the news to her husband, Chester Perkins. He had traveled overseas for a business meeting but was set to finally return tomorrow.
The moment she got to her house and entered, she noticed a lady's handbag that was not hers and a frown formed on her forehead.
She recognized the handbag, it was her best friend's, Harlow Thiago, and she had just gotten it not too long ago. The both of them had actually gotten it together at the mall. But, wasn't her best friend not on a business trip?
Harlow owned a company and had recently started working with her husband and the both of them went on a business trip.
It was then that Olivia heard a voice and it came from upstairs.
That voice..she recognized it and it came from her best friend, Harlow's voice!
Her body trembled, who was Harlow talking to if not her husband?
Alarmed, she hurried upstairs. The closer she got, the more the voices that she heard became even louder.
"Very soon your wife is going to be back, what are we going to do when she comes home?"
She heard her best friend, Harlow, ask.
"I don't care about Olivia" her husband's deep, husky voice rang out.
"You know Olivia had always dreamt of giving you a child but unfortunately for her, I got pregnant first, beating her to it. How do you plan on telling her this?" Harlow asked again.
" I don't plan on telling her anything because I don't care," her husband replied.
Olivia's heart hurt. She felt a huge pain in her heart as she drew back her hand that was on the door handle a moment later.
She retracted her steps and started leaving, not bothering to turn back to take a glance at the door. She was feeling really down. A while ago she wanted to break the really good news to her husband and at this moment she is going back with a shattered heart.
Even if she made her presence known to them it made no difference because it was a fact that her husband, Chester didn't love her.
She was the one that had forced him to marry her. Her parents and his were good friends so she used it to get her parents into bringing up a marriage proposal between the two families all because she was madly in love with him.
In their three years of marriage, she had struggled to give him a child, visiting doctors from around the world and doing other things just to get pregnant.
Now, she was finally pregnant but unfortunately, her husband had gone over to her best friend, had sex with her and even got her on their marital bed and the worst of all was that Harlow was also pregnant.
Olivia walked out of the mansion, tears falling soundlessly down her cheeks. It was raining heavily but she didn't mind as she kept walking weakly under the rain, her husband and best friend's voice still resounding in her ears.
No wonder he agreed to work with Harlow and even go on a business trip with her. He was back and didn't even bother informing her of his arrival.
Harlow stood near the window, studying Olivia's distant figure as she walked in the rain. A heartless smirk danced on her lips.
The voice of the man that Olivia heard was not her husband's but a product of a skilled voice editor.
Chester's voice was just a mere voice editing skill. Because Olivia and her have been best friends for a long time, she knew so well that Olivia would not dare to enter the room.
"Respect your dignity, I am married to Olivia and I don't plan on cheating on her or even getting a divorce" Chester's ruthless voice when he had rejected her rang in her ears.
She was filled with rage. With an evil chuckle, Harlow took out her phone and dialed a number on it.
Olivia had unconsciously walked under the heavy rain all the way to a bridge that was not so far from her house. There were no cars present on the bridge as a result of the heavy rainfall.
Suddenly, a trailer truck came rushing at her at a high speed as she, too overshadowed with sadness and pain, did not react in time.
Bang!
She was tossed to the edge of the bridge from the impact. She felt as if her whole body had been torn apart as thick, hot chunks of blood dripped from her forehead into her eyes making her vision blur.
With her blurred vision, she saw someone step out of the truck and approach her, putting a hand under her nose to check if she was still breathing.
After realizing that she was still alive and breathing, the man brought out his phone and dialed a number.
" Mr Perkins, she is still alive. Should I finish her off?" He said on the phone.
Mr Perkins? Was that not her husband's name?
At that moment, her heart ached. It was as if the trailer had run over it.
She only knew of only one Mr Perkins, her husband whom she had loved her whole life, Chester Perkins.
Did he really go this far to get rid of her from his life forever just because she found out about him and Harlow's secret affair?
Could it be that he resented her for imposing herself on him and precipitating their marriage, seizing the opportunity to exact revenge when Harlow became pregnant with his child?
" Little woman, seems like fate doesn't want you alive. Blame yourself for forcing yourself on a man who clearly doesn't love you!!" The driver spat.
He then kicked her three meters away from the end of the bridge.
He was a huge and physically strong-looking man and had mercilessly tossed her broken body with his feet. After a few tries, she was flung into the bridge.
"I hope to kill you again in your next life"
Olivia was pushed off the bridge without any form of emotion from the assassin who wore an emotionless smirk that never seemed to reach his icy green eyes.
