Staring at herself in the large mirror, Olivia smiled widely as her right hand held her waist and her left hand checking out the length at which her cleavages were out,
She turned around slightly, staring at me huge V opening of the dress at her back, and the smile only grew wider,
“You have a great figure Ms, this looks like it was made just for you.”
The Red gown fitted so well on her body, hugging her body so tight, with the nte sleeve reaching her wrist. Olivia took a step forward and the tail of the gown followed as it swept the floor behind me,
“This is perfect.” She muttered
It was red, and it was just the best. Never had she worn a gown as beautiful as this while she was married to Ethan because her mind was rather always too preoccupied with so much that she never found something this perfect.
“I’ll take this…” she muttered while admiring her figure in the mirror. It was a dress she was certain that Ethan would never be able to resist her in,
“I found this matching sh…. Oh my goodness!” Stella exclaimed the moment she walked into the room to see Olivia dressed like a goddess,
“Where’s my cousin? What have you done with her?” Stella yelled, walking towards Olivia.
“She’s right here, Stella. Stop being such a drama queen okay.” Olivia chuckled as she responded to Stella,
“If Bryan were here, he’d want to ravish every part of your body right here and now.”
“Shut up.” Olivia interjected and stared at the attendant who was still with them, but she saw the young lady giggle,
“Oh fuck, I want to take a photo and send it right now, but I’ll hold the urge to do that for the last day. I’d like to see the joy and love in his eyes when he sees you all dolled up just for him.” Stella said,
As much as Olivia didn’t want the smile on her face to fade, it slowly did. The guilt came again because it was hard admitting to herself that Bryan wasn’t the reason she was going to be dressed up and looking extremely beautiful,
“So I found these red shoes. I think they’ll fit perfectly.” Stella said,
The lady standing close to Olivia walked up to Stella and collected the shoe from her,
“Thanks, they’re beautiful,” Olivia muttered and when she tried them on, she gently raised the gown above her feet so she could see them,
“They’re perfect. What do you think?”
“Just what you think,” Stella responded,
“Can you take them off? I’ll be taking the two, along with the Hermes bags, and selected jewelry.” Olivia said as she stepped away from the mirror after taking off the clothes,
“Alright, Ms. Everything would be ready in a jiffy. What would you like to pay with?” The lady questioned and Olivia touched her hand into her handbag to get her purse. Once she brought it out, she took out her card and handed it over to the lady,
“Alright. This way.”
As Olivia and Stella were being led out, Olivia tucked her hand into her bag to get her phone,

“It’s Bryan, isn’t it? I guess he couldn’t stay away from you for that long.” Stella teased as she went ahead of Olivia, following the attendant closely behind, but Olivia only chuckled back at her as she answered the call,
“Hey,”
“Hey babe. I received a message earlier from Stella, and right here we have a big playful kid messing around.” Bryant uttered, and Olivia giggled as she could hear the loud noise of Noah in the background. He was indeed messing up just like Bryan had said,
“How’s he? Is he okay?”
“You have nothing to worry about Olivia. We’re just going to have some buddies time together and I’d like to take him shopping for a few clothes.”
“That’s so sweet of you. Thank you so much. Please watch over him closely, okay? Refrain him from running if you must, as he easily gets tired and…”
“I think you’re forgetting I’m a doctor too, Olivia. I know all the dos and don’ts for a heart condition patient, so I’ll take good care of him.”
Olivia let a deep breath out when she heard this,
“I’m so sorry, okay, I trust you so much so don’t think for one second I don’t trust you..I just want to ensure…”
“You’re just being extra careful and that’s how every mother out there should be. Alright, I need to get going now and focus on the road while Superman here keeps on trying to break my keys. I love you okay.” Bryan uttered, but there was a pause from Olivia for a few seconds before she muttered back,
“I love you too. Bye.”
As soon as the call ended, Olivia cleared her throat aloud, discarding all the thoughts that were about to get into her mind. She continued walking until she got to the counter,
“That’s the last bag; please have a nice day, and I hope to see you some other time.” The attendant uttered as Stella collected the bag and tucked it into the car,
“Here’s a little tip for your hard work, thank you too.”
As soon as the lady walked away, Stella shut the door,
“Where to next?”
“We’re free because Noah is being taken good care of. So lunch. Let’s go get something really good to eat.”
Shirley opened her eyes only to find herself on a soft bed with Ethan sitting close to her and Eva,
“Hey.” She muttered in a low voice, and when Ethan heard her, he turned his gaze towards her,
“Hey, are you okay? What happened, Shirley?” Ethan questioned while Shirley sat upright on the bed. “When did you get back home?” She asked,
“About 5 hours ago. I had to return home with a doctor after Mandy called me that she found you unconscious in the room. Would you like to tell me what happened? The doctor said you’re fine and it must have been due to a shock or serious stress.” Ethan uttered,
“I think it’s just a little bit of stress. Thinking about the baby I lost.” Shirley responded, believing that it was the best excuse she could give at the moment,

“And, you had a lot of missed calls while you were asleep,” Ethan uttered as he outstretched his hand toward the drawer to get her phone,
“It seems Zoey must need your attention, maybe you should respond to her soon.” Ethan continued, closely monitoring the expression on Shirley’s face,
With a calm expression, Shirley collected her phone from him and then turned it on,
20 missed calls!!
What did that bastard do to her daughter and Zoey now? She thought inwardly,
“I’ll call her back soon.” She uttered and turned her gaze to her daughter, “Hi baby, come to mommy okay.” Shirley uttered and carried Eva up on her feet.
It was quite obvious to Ethan that she was only trying to avoid the conversation about the call,
“I think you should stay back and have some rest. I’ll be taking Eva with me in an hour.” Ethan uttered as he rose to his feet but Shirley shook her head in negation,
“No! I’m fine, baby. I want to come alone with you. Staying at home would only make me think deeper about the baby and I don’t want that, please.”
Ethan tucked his hand into his pocket and brought out his phone,
“I’ll be back. Mandy would come to take Ava and get her ready.” Ethan said and began to walk out of the room. As soon as he got to the living room, he dialed Luke’s number,
“Hey, get someone to keep an eye on Shirley as soon as possible, I think something is going on, and she’s keeping it a secret from me,” Ethan uttered, and after a response, ended the call immediately.
Note: Please kindly ignore the part where I mentioned the phone was smashed into pieces. It’ll be edited soon for future readers.
