Alexander was unreachable after high school. I had no idea where he went, but I never forgave or forgot what he did to me, what he did to Jayla. I promised myself that even if it ended up being in another universe, I was going to get my revenge on Alexander.
I was able to complete my high school and go into University. After a few years of my stay there studying medicine, I met a beautiful young lady, Olivia. At times, beautiful could not properly describe Olivia.
I began to develop sexual feelings for her. She was the first person that I ever had feelings for since Jayla. Since Jayla had betrayed me, I never took deep interest in anyone. I focused on myself, working hard at my studies, working out at the gym, eating and sleeping well.
I had grown into a handsome man. As my manly features became more defined, I no longer looked like a nerd. I still appeared serious, but my appearance had changed. I even stopped wearing glasses and was fine without them.
I did not have too many girls around me, but a few girls started to like me better. I refused to like any of them. I was friendly with some, but never got too close. This was partly because the last time I let someone get too close to me, she betrayed me, got sick, and was probably killed by the person that she left me for.
But there was something about Olivia that kept drawing me to her some magnet even though I tried to pull away.
Months after Olivia and I started talking, there was a rumour around that she was from a dangerous family, and that her dad was probably a Mafia boss. It led to many people being scared of Olivia and avoiding any dispute with her.
When I heard this the first person that came to my mind was Alexander. I asked myself if Olivia knew Alexander. I did not know how it happened but I started disliking her even though I noticed that she started to like me.
I confronted Olivia about the rumours, and asked if they were true. I could swear that I saw fear in her eyes.
"No, it's not. My father isn't the Mafia boss."
She sounded stern, and I knew that would not get the truth out of her. There was only one way to go about it: I asked her out, and she agreed to date me; little did she know it was part of my plan.
I graduated from school and became a medical doctor while Olivia was still studying business. She was so in love with me, while I tried to get her to open up to me.
"My dad is really not a Mafia boss. He is not even part of the Mafia, but he does have connections with the Mafia. Yes, my family is dangerous. But I promise that I will not let anything happen to you. I love you."
Olivia was lovesick, but I was not. I saw past everything. After all I passed through in my high school, there was no way that I was going to let a spoiled brat from a wealthy family walk all over me again.
It was not that I hated Olivia. I liked her a lot, and was sexually attracted to her. But I did not love her. I dated her only to find out more about her family, to get back at Alexander and other rich people which included Olivia, to gain connection to be able to work in the best hospitals, and of course to have access to her body.
"You know I love you baby, I will do anything for you. I won't leave because of your family, you're a good person and I see it. I love you. But I need to know your family's affiliation with the Mafia and at least tell me a bit of what you know about the Mafia. You don't need to go into details, but I just need to know. I want to know more about you because you're my forever person, and I will always love you", I said.
My acting was so convincing it even scared me. My words and actions remained consistently sweet since I started talking to Olivia. I had never spoken to or treated her badly. In fact, I treated her even better after we started dating, despite initially disliking her because of her wealthy background and dangerous family.
Olivia must have fed into my sweet talks because she told me about the Mafia family that she was associated with. She did not explain deeply, but she did describe the son of the former Mafia boss, and all her descriptions fit for a bigger Alexander. She said that their families usually had dinner with each other, and that she did not like the former Mafia Boss' son, who was likely Alexander.
I did not push her for more details that day, but as days passed by, I learnt more about her family and the Mafia family. It turned out that truly Alexander was part of the Mafia. He was the present Mafia boss. What if Catherine had told me the truth about Alexander. What if Alexander actually had a Mafia secret that Jayla knew about, so he killed her?
I did not want Catherine to see me angry. She had seen me a few times when I was angry. I knew she hated seeing me that way, and I had to be on my best behaviour.
One reason Olivia saw me angry was my initial jealousy; she did not take me seriously. I wanted her to help with my plan, but she spent time with other men, which angered and frustrated me. I was angry that she was delaying my plans and jealous that other men would have a chance with her if she kept entertaining them.
I did not want anyone to have Olivia until I was done with her. She may look innocent and cute on the outside but she was a naughty girl in bed and I loved that. The positions she learnt while having sex made it difficult to believe that she was a virgin. She had told me that she had dated in the past, but had not given up her virginity to anyone and that I was her first. I had told her that she was my first too, but that was a lie though she believed because of the way I presented myself to her. The truth was that I had sex about a year before I knew Olivia.
The person I was involved with, Maya, one of the girls that had a crush on me and had accepted to be a friend with sex benefits, and no strings attached. We were at it for a month before she decided to quit because her feelings for me were growing. So girls knew how it felt to be rejected, huh? I was happy that I was able to make a girl feel rejected by me because all my life I was the one getting rejected by people.
When I started having sex with Olivia about two months after we started dating, I was still a novice at sex, so it was believable that she was the one that I lost my virginity to. She must have been happy to hear that I had never had sex with anyone, and we were both the ones taking each other's virginity. But that was all a big fat lie!
Initially, Olivia was shy in bed, and I had to do most of the work. However, over time, she became a passionate lover, and I became addicted to our intimacy. I often wondered if I would feel good about myself if I completed my plan and had to leave her. My plan was huge and had the potential to destroy her, but if it would hurt Alexander, I was willing to take that risk.
I was careful enough to make her not notice how bad I was for her. I made her feel saved and loved. Each day I felt her fall deeply in love with me. My admiration for her, on the other hand, decreased each day.
She had helped me secure a job at the best hospital in the City, and I could have left her then because I got to do my dream job in a high paying hospital, but I could not because I was not done with her.
After she graduated, I noticed that she was behaving strangely. We had mind-blowing sex a few days after her graduation, but deep down I sensed that she was unhappy about something. I was afraid that my plan was going to be ruined, but I managed to keep up with her, sending her love messages every day and trying my best to be sweet to her so that she would tell me what was wrong. I noticed that being super kind to Olivia was the only way to get through to her, and I made sure to always be kind to her even though I was nervous about her strangeness, thinking that she was tired of me or that something else that could potentially ruin my plan had happened.
Two days went by and I did not receive a text from her even though I had texted her multiple times. I was tense and my anxiety was eating me up. Did she somehow get to know my plan? Was she tired of me? I decided to call her because the suspense was too much for me.
"What's wrong babe? I have tried reaching out to you, but you haven't replied to any of my texts", I asked.
"I'm sorry, I just couldn't text you, please don't be offended", she responded. She sounded like she was going to cry.
"Babe, I can feel you're not yourself", I said, my voice strained.
What was going on?
"We were supposed to go on a shopping date today. On a normal day, you would've been so excited to meet up with me so we can go out, but you don't seem excited at all. I need you to tell me what's wrong. Please don't lie to me. You know you can tell me anything."
The suspense was way too much for me to handle.
"Okay. Can we still meet up today? I will tell you everything", she said.
"Of course. We will still meet today. You can come over to my house so that I can take you shopping and we can discuss everything", I said.
After all, Olivia loved shopping. If I took her shopping, she would definitely tell me what had happened to her, and even more.
"Uhm, no shopping. I will just come over to your house. We will just talk about the problem", she said.
"Are you sure?", I asked.
If something made her refuse to go shopping, it was serious.
"Babe, I have the money and even in bad times, I promised to spend my money on you. Remember that my money is ours babe", I added, still tense.
She still insisted on just visiting me without the shopping. When she came over, she looked as pale as ever. I asked her if she had eaten, but she said no and that she only wanted to talk to me.
I began to act like I cared if she ate or not, putting on my headphones so that she would just keep trying to be heard. It was good watching her trying to be heard so bad, but I knew that she would not be angry with me for this because to her, it seemed like I cared so much.
I decided to make some food for her, trying my best to make it a very delicious food so that she would feel much better telling me what was going on.
But I had not seen it coming.
"My parents married me off to a Mafia boss", she stated.
I knew at once what she meant. She was going to marry ALEXANDER!
