Chapter 1 HIS PROPOSAL
<< GREECE ~ ATHENS >>>
"First time here?" The female passenger seated next to Olivia in the business class part of the plane ask.
"Yes, it's my first time" Olivia Thompson, a petite looking girl of twenty five answer, a smile curving her full round lips.
"For business?" The lady probe, trying to make small talk.
"No, I'm here to see my boyfriend. He was transferred to Greece two months ago, I tried to see him many times but my visa got decline. Luckily my sixth trial to get a visa was approve and so, here I am" Olivia told the lady, feeling at ease in her company.
"I hope you get to meet him and I also hope that you enjoy your stay in our country, Greece is one of the best" The lady said with pride.
The intercom buzz with an announcement for everyone to put on their seat belt for a safe landing.
It took half an hour for Olivia to leave the airport.
She smile as she take in the scenery, it's exactly how Frederick describe it to her.
If things go well and she ends up marrying Fredrick, she won't have any regret moving here to live with him.
Hailing a taxi, she got in gave the driver Fredrick address.
After paying the taxi driver, Olivia walk into a luxurious hotel wondering how Frederick is able to afford such place.
She had met Frederick while he was working at her brother's bar and in no time, Frederick had swept her off her feet, making her head over heels.
After months of dating, Frederick got the job offer from Greece.
It was quite a strain having to make their long distance relationship work but recently, Frederick have been avoiding her and it's one of the reason she decided to come to Greece.
"Good day miss and how can I help you?" The receptionist ask the moment Olivia approach her desk.
"I am looking for..."
"If you are hoping to book a room, then I will have to turn you down. All our rooms are filled up" said the receptionist.
"I am not here to book a room. I am here to see Frederick Willow"
"Oh, you are one of the groom guest, then I better escort you to the hall where the wedding is taking place"
"I think you've got it wrong. I am looking for Frederick Willow not a groom" Olivia said quickly, halting the lady.
"But the groom is Fredrick Willow" the receptionist insist.
"The Frederick I know isn't the...." Olivia words trail off when she notice a full HD screen displaying photos of a couple.
And that couple happen to be Fredrick and an unknown girl.
"That's Fredrick Willow, he is the one getting married to Miss Aurora, the daughter of the owner of this hotel" the receptionist inform.
"It can't be! Frederick is... Frederick is my..." Too choke to speak, Olivia took in a deep breath of air before turning to the receptionist once again.
"Can you take me to the hall?" Olivia ask and a while later she stood at the back row watching Frederick and his bride.
He look so happy, Olivia thought as tears trail down her cheek.
Why didn't he tell her? For how long has he been seeing Aurora and since when did they begin the wedding preparation?
This thought went through Olivia's head and she could only come up with one answer.
Frederick cheated on her. While she remain faithful to him, he was cheating on her with Aurora.
Having seen enough, Olivia wipe her tears and left the hall, she ran past the receptionist from earlier and made her way out of the hotel.
She had no idea what to do or where to go but one thing she have to do is to get away.
Seeing an empty taxi on the other side of the street, Olivia call to it frantically and when the driver didn't hear her, she walk into the street, hoping to get to the taxi before it leave but a car came out of nowhere, heading towards her.
Luckily the driver step on the brake before the car could hit her, Olivia fell on the floor, overwhelm with shock.
"Oh my God! are you okay miss?" the driver ask as he kneel beside her and by now, some of the passerby have gather around them.
"I am...I am..."
"Step aside" a gruff voice said from the crowd and it wasn't until the driver move out of her sight that she saw him.
He was dress in an expensive suit, years of being a sales clerk have given her the experience to distinguish clothes from well known brand.
And this man standing in front of her is completely sheathe in luxury brand, she look at his face and she couldn't help being transfixed by it, especially by his deep blue eyes.
"Are you okay, Miss?" He ask, crouching in front of her.
"I am fine" Olivia found her tongue, she tried standing but fail.
Immediately, she felt a pair of arms around her, lifting her up. It's the blue eyes Adonis, Olivia thought as she stare at the stranger holding her in his arms.
"You are in a state of shock, you need to be check by a doctor" he said.
"I don't..." Her protest died off as he walk with her to his car and carefully put her into it.
"You need a doctor, I don't want a dying girl on my conscience" he said and close the door before she could reply.
< HOSPITAL >>>
Olivia open her eyes to find herself in a room.
After her check up, the doctor had given her a drug which sent her into a deep sleep.
How long have she been out? She thought as she stare at the open window to see the sun setting.
And where is the blue eyes Adonis? Is he gone?
"I told you to do whatever you can to find me a bride!" The blue eyes Adonis said as he walk into the room, startling poor Olivia.
"The judge and witness are here already! My grandfather is also waiting, if I don't show up with a bride then it's definitely going to make him worry" he said, so engross in his conversation that he fail to notice Olivia awake.
"Do you love your job Silas? Then find me a woman to play the part before six in the evening!" He snap into the receiver before ending the call.
"Are you okay?" Olivia question got him turning her way.
"You are up. Do you need me to call the doctor?" He ask and she shook her head.
"I am fine now. The sleep work"
"That's good to know. Since you are fine now, I will take my leave and also, the medical expenses have been paid"
With that said, he gave her a bow and head for the door.
But as soon as he got to the door, he turn to give her a strange look.
"Are you married?" He ask.
"I'm not. Why do you ask?"
"Would you like to be my wife?" His question left Olivia's jaw dropping in shock.
