Chapter 11 - Chapter 7

Olivia Glasgow couldn't seem to reach Robert and was getting anxious, she had prepared things that she would use to seduce him and was expecting him to come to her birthday party but he wasn't forthcoming. Olivia was a model or an aspiring model as one would call it with a very light complexion, a face that was heavily loaded with makeup and a body that had been touched up so that she would have the perfect figure, she had always liked Robert Moore right from their high school years, but he never paid attention to her, even Sid Moore who was among the most attractive men did not pay attention to her from the outset, she had been furious when robert had gotten married four years ago bit she hadn't seen his wife again in a long time, rumor had it that she ran away with some of his money after giving birth, " the girl must be so stupid" she thought to herself, " if I was the one I would use that opportunity to tie him tighter to myself ", she heard squeal sot joy as someone had entered the house where she was having her party, she sttod up expecting it to be Robert but it was Shawn Grey, a rich playboy and only heir of the Grey's, a rich couple whose money has been passed down from their ancestors (but still Robert Moore who had worked his way up without his patents support, even though they were alive, was still richer which was one of the things that endeared him to her ). He was one of the guys she had grown up knowing, she would have loved to marry him because of his money but apparently he was betrothed to a girl called Tory Watson since they were kids and so he was off the market, during their high school days he never dated anyone until after he rejected Charlotte Moore, Robert's twin (whom he liked), he had changed he dated any girl that cut his fancy but there was one thing that not many people knew, which was the fact that he never slept with any of them, he was known as the No.3 most eligible bachelor in New York after Robert and Sid Moore and was also known as a national Playboy, she hadn't known in the first place but he had found out after one of the girls she had set him up with complained to her, when she asked him about it he had brushed it off, but she suspected that it was because of Charlotte, he was always excited each time she saw him but today he was not his usual self, " what's wrong" she asked " the girl I was supposed to get married to ran out on me with her sister" , Olivia laughed " so you mean that there is someone out there that is unwilling to get married to you, and you lost to a girl" " Yes, I mean I can't believe it, have I really lost my charm" Olivia snorted," it isn't funny Olivia " " so are you unhappy about it,this way you can keep gallivanting without anything holding you back" " you don't understand" Shawn sighed, " My parents said , if she isn't found the would arrange my marriage with Charlotte Moore and you know how much she hates me, and I also doubt that her parents would accept and also her brother, because they believe their children can make decisions on their own". It felt like a huge blow in Olivia's gut that she was not the one chosen, after all her parents were also influential. It felt like everyone was teaming up against her so that she would not get married. " Well, you have to bear with it or better still tell your parents that you will find her and everything will be alright ". There was a slight hush as everywhere became quiet, everyone turned to the entrance including Olivia and Shawn, that was when Charlotte and Sid Moore walked in, " speaking of the devil herself" this came from Olivia who had always been jealous of Charlotte because everything about her was natural, her slim but hourglass figure, her beauty, her long hair and the fact that whenever people saw her they always seemed to worship her, she was also the face of the Moore group of companies as she was Robert's younger and twin sister. She had to endure Charlotte because she was Robert's sister, but she was certain that the bitch wasn't all that nice, Shawn glanced at her and made a short wave to Sid. Robert was the brain of the Moore group and also the owner but mainly he was in charge of the hotels, Sid was in charge of the restaurants and Charlotte the fashion line, it was a family company through and through and it wasn't even their family business seeing a stgeir father had his own company.

Charlotte Moore didn't like anything about Olivia Glasgow, she saw her as a gold digger who was only interested in her family's money, thank goodness Robert wasn't interested in her but was putting all his time into looking for his wife and best friend, Rose who has been missing for two years, three months and two weeks now, there had been a lead on her whereabouts, but now she was gone again, she had been woken by Robert's call, two weeks ago, saying that he had found her an dher real name was Alexa Watson and she had lost her memory but she had gone missing again, so if she had any info she should let him know at once, she was there as a sign of courtesy from Robert to Olivia, he told her to tell Olivia that he had a wife and kids, so she should find another man to be interested in. But other than that she was also here to see Shawn's face, she had always liked him from her high school days but after what happened between them, she had since then hated his guts. But each time she looked at him, she felt like he was pulling her heartstrings and she would never allow it as long as she was breathing.

Shawn watched as Charlotte and Sid walked towards where he and Olivia sat and thought of how beautiful Charlotte had become and how she had also become a very accomplished woman, she was no longer the shy girl from high school, but he could never have he, and even if Tory Watson was found and he got married to her ( if her parents agreed, which was 99.9% impossible) she would still always hate him, so all he had to do was plead his case to her or she would forever be lost to him. " Well good evening to you" Sid greeted while Charlotte only spared him a glance and smiled at Olivia " I'm here to deliver a message to you from Robert" she said, " I'm not interested in you and never would be, I have a wife and kids" Olivia who had been smiling on hearing Robert's name stood up and frowned " you've got to be kidding me", she said annoyed, but Charlotte kept on talking as if Olivia hadn't spoken, " so find another man to be interested in and be happy". She finished, she turned to Sid and and ignore the annoyed Olivia " my work here is done" , Olivia turned Charlotte around and was about to slap her but Shawn grabbed her hand, it was at that moment that Charlotte phone rang, it was the woman that was watching the triplets as Ms Fiona, their nanny was on temporary leave, so she picked up, " Ma, we have a situation, I've been calling Mr Moore but he hasn't been picking up" the woman said, " Yes, what's wrong"," there's a woman here named Tory Watson and she's with her sister, but her sister just fainted", " Do you know a Tory Watson" Charlotte asked Sid " I don't" when Shawn heard Tory's name his interest was piqued nut he didn't say anything, " call an ambulance, why call me, the hotel is no longer open for visitors" " that's not the point ma, the woman that fainted looks exactly like the woman in Mr Moore's wedding portrait", that stopped Charlotte in her tracks" what is her name" she heard her asj the person on the other end, " her name is Alexa Watson ", when Charlotte heard the name she told Sid , " call Robert she's at the hotel" then she said to the maid, " when the ambulance comes, follow her, we're on our way" then they exited the party with Shawn hot on their tail. Olivia was left speechless on the spot, then she thought, " it seems Robert's wife has been found, I need to find a way to get rid of her"
