Taming the grumpy boss heart Chapter 1 Memories

Olivia's POV

I groaned as I heard my phone beep; it was the Alarm I set yesterday; yes! Today is a big day for me, but for some reason, I wasn't pleased.

Memories I shared with Daniel came flashing, last night I wasted myself because I felt so heartbroken

I expected Daniel to cheer me up today, but no one was here, just me, in this house.

I dragged myself out of bed, reluctantly walked into the bathroom brushed my teeth and had a bath. I was feeling weak after yesterday's painful event. "Why," I said as a tear fell from my eyes

My head was aching after drinking so much alcohol yesterday. I found Daniel cheating on me with a blonde yesterday morning. Daniel knew how important this day was to me, yet he fucked me up

I was in so much pain and regretted ever going to his apartment to surprise him. I have an interview with a prestige company today. If I get a job in this company, I would never suffer again, and I and Daniel decided to celebrate it

"I promise to be there with you, and I will" Those were Daniel's words

"You're a total asshole; get your voice out of my head," I said as I stormed out of the bathroom and rubbed my lotion; I chose the outfit for the day.

"Ahhh, what exactly did Daniel want? I thought he loved and cherished me; I can't believe he did this to me," I said.

I stared at myself in the full-view mirror, wearing a black skirt and a pink long-sleeve shirt. I was proud of how I looked

I had practiced what to say today in my interview; since I graduated from school, I have been job hunting, but most of the jobs I saw didn't pay well, and Olivia being Olivia, would never settle for less

I walked out of my room and entered my sitting room; the whole place was empty, just me. Millions of memories began to flash in my head

After I was done with breakfast,I left the house and locked the door behind me. Reflecting on my life. I only knew a few things about my parents; my mother died while giving birth to me, and my father lives in a big town with his other family.

"I wish you could see me, Mom," I said; although I never knew my mother, I respected her for one thing, I am alive today because of her

"Babe, this isn't what you think", I recalled my ex-boyfriend, Daniel telling me.

"I can explain," he said and trailed behind her, but I didn't want to listen to his excuses

"I'm not blind; I know what I saw, and you can't convince me otherwise," I said

"What did you expect" Those words made me halt; I didn't understand what he said

"What did he mean?" I thought

"You gave me no reason to be loyal to you, we are in a relationship, but I don't know the color of your pant; you're so uptight, so I had to find someone else who would satisfy my needs," Daniel said, those words made my heart hurt, I didn't expect what I heard from him.

I forgot how to breathe and just froze for a moment. It was as if time stopped, but then I heard Daniel's voice again

"I couldn't break up with you because I didn't want to break your heart" At this moment, the dam broke; my eyes betrayed and I began to cry. With my back facing Daniel

I sobbed and ran out of the premises. "So pathetic," I thought. I couldn't believe he didn't break up with me because he pitied me.

My life was a hot mess, and my world was ending. I loved Daniel so much and ignored all the signs I got because I was head over heels for him.

Between my sobs, I remembered when I cried on his shoulders, how he comforted me and told me how special I was, but all those memories are now in the past. The problem was that we shared too many moments, and it felt like Daniel was already an essential part of my life. Today I was shattered

My dreams were crushed, and the fantasy world I built with Daniel was destroyed in that minute

I checked the time so that I wouldn't be late for my interview and there was still time. So, I sat on the couch in the living room as I remembered how I had shamed myself that day

"My good God," I said out loud as I recalled those embarrassing memories. Yes! Daniel was right, their relationship was a strange one, but it was like that only because I refused to sleep with him

"Babe, I promise it wouldn't hurt" Those were Daniel's words, but I refused, and looking back now, I felt like I wronged him, but I brushed the thought away

I believed I was perfect the way I was, but deep down, it felt like I was lying to myself

I stepped out of my house and waited for a taxi.

The taxi stopped in front of a big company; the view was magnificent. I couldn't give up my dream because of someone; moreover, I saw this as an opportunity to get Daniel off my mind

So, it was a big step for me. I sat down at the reception for a while, but no one attended to me

"Please, isn't it time for the interview," I asked, but the receptionist ignored my question. The girl looked at me from head to toe before focusing on her laptop.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket; I picked up the call; it was my friend from school, Martha, the one that told me about the job

Martha works at this company, and so she wanted to help me get the job

Reynolds Enterprises, people find it hard to secure a job in a company like this, but luckily for me, if my self-confidence didn't get me into the company, my friend's influence would, but I didn't want pity, so I was determined to get this job

But when Anthony abandoned her on the altar after receiving a call, she was devastated. "Serves her right!" All of her enemies took pleasure in her misfortune. The news spread like wildfire. In a strange turn of events, Claudia posted an update on social media. It was a picture of her with a marriage certificate which she captioned, "Call me Mrs. Dreskin from now on."

Many people labeled Claudia as the luckiest woman of the century as she had struck gold by marrying Bennett. Even a baby knew that Anthony was an ant compared to his rival.

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.
