Chapter 2
SAND CITY
A tall, slender and devilishly handsome man walked out of the conference room, exuding a cold, arrogant, and intimidating presence. aura.
Suddenly, his assistant approached him in a flurry of urgency.
"President! President!!" He exclaimed, his voice tinged with panic.
"What is it?" The man asked with an arrogant expression as he slightly frowned.
" Sir, it is your wife," the assistant said.
" What trouble has she gotten herself into this time?" He asked nonchalantly.
" It is really serious," his assistant said, his voice trembling.
" What happened?" He asked, suddenly becoming alarmed.
" It's.. it is madam, she was involved in a serious accident. She was hit on the bridge by a trailer and her body has not yet been found" his assistant assistant managed to convey the dire news.
The man's expression turned grave, and a wave of panic surged through him, his pupils constricting instantly.
Almost immediately, his phone rang and he picked it up.
"Hello" his deep intimidating voice rang over the phone. It was from the hospital.
" President Perkins, your wife didn't want me to bother you with this, but after hearing about her accident on the news, we felt it necessary to inform you," the voice on the other end began.
"Go on," Chester Perkins urged, his voice a mix of anticipation and dread.
" Your wife is pregnant and she is already four months along."
FIVE YEARS LATER
An international airport from Guyana, South America, landed in New York City, North America.
Olivia Gael navigated through the airport security, pulling her luggage behind her.
Five years had passed since she was known as Olivia Perkins, but after the accident and subsequent betrayal, she adopted the new identity of Olivia Gael.
Her brunette hair was packed in a messy bun style. She donned a black short dress, and a red trench coat, with a pair of red stiletto heels making her look sexy and mysterious.
Behind her were three children, two boys and a girl all in the same outfit, dragging behind them the same luggage.
Judging from appearance, they were triplets and around the age bracket of six or seven years old and just like Olivia, they too emitted mysterious auras that no one dared to approach them.
"Olivia!" Someone yelled from afar.
Gemma Osvaldo, who had been waiting for their arrival waved, rushing over to them with a placard which was boldly inscribed "welcome to Guyana"
Gemma Osvaldo was a famous actress in the city. Five years ago, she had gone to New York City, North America, for a film shoot. That was when she fell in love with the city and decided to move there permanently.
She had fortunately stumbled upon Gemma's almost lifeless body. She immediately rushed her to the hospital and ever since then, then grew closer and later became best friends.
When Olivia arrived in New York, she was really excited to have her there and even offered to let her stay at her multi million Mansion there in New York city.
Gemma rushed up to her, pulling her into a tight embrace. "I am so excited to see you Olivia" she said, breaking the hug.
Four years ago, Olivia had left New York City to settle in Guyana, South america. But she decided to come back to New York city.
Gemma then took the luggage off Olivia's hand. Some of Gemma's body guards were there to be of assistance, so they helped Olivia with her other luggages.
"The house is well arranged for your arrival, let's get going" she said excitedly.
" That is very kind of you, thank you" Olivia said with a light smile.
" Aryan, Adrian and Adriana this is you Aunt, say hi to Aunt Gemma" she turned to introduce Gemma to her kids.
" Hi Aunt Gemma" they all chorused.
" Hi kids. Wow! You guys have grown to be big and so beautiful" she said, smiling.
" Thanks aunt" they chorused again.
" You are not looking bad yourself, you are truly beautiful just like how mummy always described you" Aryan blurted out.
" Oh mine, thanks for the compliment" Gemma said as she chuckled, completely amused by the child's words and level of maturity.
" Yeah it's true, and I also like your makeup too. Maybe one of these days you'd teach me how to do it" Adriana said as Gemma chuckled even more.
Who were these kids? They were so mature for their age.
" Sure" Gemma said, chuckling as Olivia joined in, chuckling too.
"These kids," Olivia said, chuckling.
Adrian didn't say anything, he just stared at Gemma with the corner of his eyes.
" Aunt Gemma" he finally spoke up.
" Yes dear"
"Do you have a boyfriend?" He asked with all seriousness.
Everyone stared at him, completely stunned.
" Why do you ask dear?" Gemma said with amusement.
" Because I would like to be your boyfriend, your beauty mesmerizes me" he said as the adults were completely shocked.
" This little rascal," Olivia said, laughing hard.
" Oh my God! No problem, you can be my boyfriend then. Lucky for you I am single" Gemma said, laughing.
"Oh really? Thanks" Adrian said as he rushed up to her, gesturing to her to bend.
As she bent down, he planted a soft kiss on her cheeks.
Oh my!
" You!" Olivia pointed as she laughed so hard, Gemma too was also laughing so hard.
Aryan blushed a little bit before he regained his once serious expression.
"If you don't mind, I'd help you with the luggage" he said, taking it from Gemma's hand.
But unfortunately for him, the luggage was too heavy for him as he ended up falling on his butt.
" Ouch" he cried, face reddened in embarrassment. He had only wanted to impress his girlfriend!
" Oh darling, so sorry" Gemma said as she helped him up and pecked him on the cheeks.
At that moment, he completely forgot about
the pain as he smiled sheepishly.
Everyone who was there found his action so cute as they all laughed so hard.
Alright, let's get going then" Gemma said as the kids walked in front of her.
She met up with Olivia as she hooked her arms in Olivia's and asked, "why did you decide to return all of a sudden?"
