Chapter 29
"I am sorry if I have not been good to you, please forgive me, but we can't let a man divide us. If there is anyone who you should be mad at, it should be Stephan. Damien asked that you should be moved home but he refused and told his men to kick Damien out."
"He did?"
"He feels like he is your husband, I was really angry that he wouldn't allow you come home but I had to control myself." Olivia was genuinely angry that Stephan had rejected the offer but it was for her own devious reasons.
"I don't trust him anymore, I am worried about you Dawn. I can stand him but you... to be with Stephan would mean that you would not have a life of your own. He is a very protective man." "You said you are here for me but all I have heard so far is Stephan this, Stephan that."
"Because I want you to open your bloody eyes."
"I would love to be left alone, we can continue this discussion tomorrow."
"Dawn," Olivia reached out to touch Dawn's hand but she removed it from the spot. "Please don't let him separate us, please. You are my sister, I made a mistake to pick a man over you." "Please, I want to be alone."
"Alright, I will come back tomorrow. What would you like Blaire to cook for you, so I can bring it along."
"Anything not spicy is okay," Dawn replied so Olivia could leave her alone. Her mood was getting sour, she just wanted to be alone right now.
Olivia looked at her and smiled faintly, she gave her a side hug, rose up to her feet and left Dawn alone, it didn't take up to a second before Stephan stepped in afterwards.
The moment he stared at Dawn he noticed something was off about her, he didn't want to leave that stupid Olivia with her. He wondered what Olivia had told her to ruin her mood. "You should eat, you look..."
"I want to be alone," Dawn interrupted not looking at him.
"You know that isn't possible, I will not lea..."
"Go away better still go home and get some rest," Dawn repeated again. "I want to be alone."
"It is not happening, the sooner you understand that the better for both of us."
"I don't want you here or anyone, go and call Sarah or a nurse."
Stephan didn't bother with her, he sat next to her and adjusted the table where he had arranged her food.
"When you are done nagging like a crazy witch, you will eat."
"I am not a crazy witch."
"Then why are you behaving like one? I don't like you when you act this way."
"I don't want you to like me."
"Let's eat," Stephan adjusted her to seat up right on the bed, Dawn wanted to struggle but she knew if she did she would only end up hurting herself.
"What did you and Olivia discuss?"From NôvelDrama.Org.

"Your silence might irritate me to do things to you to get an answer," Stephan forewarned cutting the bread, he placed it at Dawn's mouth as she stared at him not willing to open her mouth. She wanted to be alone, this man was so stubborn. "So, you want to die by starving yourself?" Stephan asked not removing the bread from Dawn's lips as she opened her mouth slowly and took a bite from the bread, she chewed on it softly.
"You haven't answered my question Dawn," Stephan continued.
"Nothing serious," Dawn replied.
"Do you think I kidnapped you?" Stephan asked placing the bread at Dawn's mouth as she took another bite.
"Am listening."
"I don't know, did you?"
"I have an impromptu meeting that would require me to travel, you will be under Sarah's care from henceforth."

"Matteo," Olivia called out, when she came out of the hospital she met Matteo coming out his car in the parking lot. Matteo signaled his guards to go forward. She had not seen him when she came earlier.
"It's been a while, I am sure you have met Dawn."
"Yes, I am grateful to you for saving Dawn." Olivia smiled and gave Matteo a hug which took his aback as he wasn't expecting that, he and Olivia weren't really close, so the hug felt awkward to him.
"You should be grateful to Stephan," Matteo said as Olivia broke the hug, Olivia nodded she couldn't remember if she appreciated Stephan, now that Matteo mentioned it. She should have appreciated him for what he did instead of getting on his nerve.
"I am but most especially to you because Dawn isn't of interest to you but you help nevertheless for Stephan's sake."
"True," Matteo admitted he had done it for Stephan not for Dawn, he wanted Stephan to be happy and he was now. "Now that Dawn is safe, I had plans to discuss somethings with you but I don't know if you will be free to."
"and what will that be?"

"A business deal," Olivia said and got a smirk from Matteo.
"When did you start making deals?"
"I recently stumbled on a really good one that will be beneficial to you and Stephan... and me as well."
"How much are we looking at here?"
"A lot of zeros, we should decide on a day to meet up so we can discuss about it."
"It's late now, is tomorrow okay?"
"Sure, can you come and pick me?"
"We can always meet up."
"It will be easier if you come pick me up, and you can decide the location."
"Alright." Matteo smiled as Olivia kissed him on the cheek but as she retreated her lips lightly brushed through Matteo's lips.
Matteo felt it was a mistake but when Olivia leaned in and placed her lips on his again, he knew she was up to no good. She kissed him lightly on the lips and quickly removed her lips.
"I apologize... I am sorry..."
Matteo grabbed her by the waist before she could finish her word and kiss her back.
"See you tomorrow." Matteo said letting go of her.
"I am sorry." Olivia apologized and rushed out with a timid look.
Matteo placed his hands to his lips when Olivia left, what games was she up to this time? She was definitely a useless woman, was she now trying to seduce him since Stephan wasn't paying any attention to her. Even if she wanted to seduce him didn't she know how to go about it, did she have to make it so obvious and she was such a terrible actress.
His car door opened as Sarah came out staring at him angrily, he had not forgotten that Sarah was in the car but when they had spotted Olivia when driving in, it seemed Sarah didn't want Olivia to see them together or anyone in particular. The car windows were tinted so it was hard to tell if someone was inside.
"What's going on with you two?"
"Nothing," Matteo replied removing his hand from his lips and placing it into his pocket.
"You guys kissed," Sarah snapped.
"She clearly kissed me," Matteo replied not believing Sarah was bothered by this.

"What do you mean why?"
"She is Stephan's woman."
"Was!"
"And that gives you the right to do the nonsense you just did."
"You are jealous," Matteo accused, when he got no answer from Sarah he busted into laughter as Sarah folded her hand over her chest. "I think you are falling for me."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Am talking about the nonsense that is making you act like this," Matteo replied removing his hand from his pocket, he pulled Sarah closer to him. "Admit it to me that you are falling for me."
"I am not."
"Then stop being jealous over me and Olivia, if I plan to kiss her or sleep with her that should be my problem not yours," Matteo teased but Sarah took it seriously.
"You... you... you will sleep with her?" Sarah stuttered.
"I don't know, I haven't decided yet."
"You men are all the same,” Sarah said trying to pull away from Matteo's grasp but it only got tighter. "Let me go."
"You are a very stubborn woman," Matteo informed her, he would be silly to sleep with Olivia and even if he did it would not be out of love but just for the fun of it. "I think we should end whatever we are doing." "What are you talking about?"
"You are using me to make your ex jealous, then you get mad at me when I am with other women, I don't understand you."
"We didn't even have anything in the first place," Sarah said but she didn't mean it, she had felt something heavy in her chest when she saw Matteo kissing Olivia, it was disgusting to watch him kiss her like that.
She had to restrain herself from not opening the door and slapping the hell out of Olivia, why was she now trying to seduce her man.
Her man!
Was Matteo really her man? She wasn't ready to be in a relationship right now but she still wanted Matteo around her.
"Go and brush your teeth I want to kiss you," Matteo heard her say and he laughed at the sound of it. "And brush your lips as well, I don't want to taste her on your lips." Sarah continued as she pushed Matteo off and walked into the hospital. Matteo watched her walks inside, why were women like this? Especially this one, she was very stubborn. He shacked his head and followed behind.
