Chapter 525 - I Hate Fate And Destiny, Not Him!
Olive left Clifford's office, her eyes burned with tears. She cried the moment he walked away.
He just broke all her hope when he said that he already loved someone. But how could he do that? Lillie Meyer was already married to Tristan.
She was worried that Clifford would just end up being hurt again. She had a nagging feeling about this.
'Was Clifford trying to break Tristan's and Lillie's Marriage? I have to stop him from this craziness. If I have to court him forever I will do that, just to get his affection back.'
When she came out of Clifford's office, she bumped into Alveena.
"Sis-in-law?" Alveena often called her that when Clifford and Olive were still engaged.
"Alvee…"
She was surprised to see her coming out of Clifford's office. Alveena was about to submit the financial report to Clifford. She didn't expect to see Olive there.
Alveena frowned the moment she noticed her reddened eyes.
"Did my brother make you cry?" She asked Olive worriedly.
She invited her to come to her office. Olive decided to talk to Alveena.
They sat down on the black leather couch. Alveena asked her secretary to bring water for Olive. She gave her the tissue box.
Olive thanked her before wiping her tears.
"What happened? Did you argue with my brother?"
Olive smiled at her faintly. Alveena was still kind to her despite the fact she betrayed her brother before.
"Don't you hate me, Alvee? I hurt your brother…" Olive asked her.
"Hmm, of course, yes! I hate you for doing that. But also I hate my brother whenever he will make a girl cry. So don't misunderstand," Alveena answered her truthfully.
Olive just giggled. She loved Alveena for her frankness. She didn't mind it. At least, she was being honest.
She couldn't blame Alveena if she really hated her, after all, it was her fault for destroying her wonderful relationship with Clifford.
"But I wish both of you will reconcile already so that my brother can break free from his past. I want him to move on and find his own happiness. I don't want him to be blinded by his hatred and revenge."
Alveena had become serious. She truly wished for her brother to forget about the past and move on, hoping that he would also find his one true love just like Tristan.
"Alvee… I want him back. But he said he didn't love me anymore. I just want you to know that despite this, I will still try my best to win his heart again."
Olive expressed her feeling to Alveena.
"Well, I will not object or oppose you. If my brother can accept you again then I will still be happy for him. I just want my old brother back… the one who smiles genuinely when he is happy." Alveena felt saddened as she reminisced about the past.
Her brother really changed a lot. She missed old times when she could laugh with him and tease him all she liked. Right now, she could no longer do that.
Clifford turned his heart into a stone-cold heart. He was no longer her sweet loving brother.
"I'm sorry, Alveena. It's my fault. I regretted it. I just fed up with our relationship. For so many years of being together, I felt like something was missing."
"Your brother was a perfect gentleman but I'm different. I want a thrill and excitement in our relationship. I wondered how he couldn't take me? He was firm on his decision of not sleeping with me unless we got married."
"I thought he was just making excuses. My friends always asked me how are we? Our sex life? But I couldn't tell them that nothing happened between us yet."
"Then I started asking myself, what's wrong with me? Am I not desirable for him? I always made the first move but he would always stop in the middle, leaving me hanging."
"Then, one day, I met Tristan Davis. He was the complete opposite of Clifford. I was attracted by him because of his happy-go-lucky vibe. He was so fun and he was the guy who made me realize that I was desirable too, in which I couldn't feel whenever Clifford would leave me hanging."
Olive spoke spontaneously, sharing her frustrations about her past relationship with Clifford.
Alveena listened to her attentively since she was also curious why Olive cheated on her brother.
"Hmm, in short! You cheated on my brother because he couldn't fulfill your sexual needs!" Alveena smacked her forehead.
Olive:"..."
She couldn't refute that. Alveena just hit the bullseye.
"Olive, have you told that to my brother? Have you told him what you truly wanted?"
Olive shook her head. She didn't tell him. She just pretended that she was okay and that she understood him.
Alveena sighed deeply while eyeing Olive helplessly.
"Both of you are idiots! Communication is the key! If you told him directly what you truly wanted then your relationship would not end up like this."
"You have been with each other for so many years but you forgot to communicate with each other. Now, we can't bring back the past. Gosh?!! I have the urge to hit both of you to knock some sense out of your heads."
Alveena started ranting at her.
"Next time, be straightforward with your feelings. Look at me! I even confessed my feelings to an engaged man. Hahaha. You should have been shameless like me."
Olive:"..."
This time Alveena accidentally mentioned her failed confession. She was reminded of Andrew once again.
"Did you confess to someone and he is already engaged? What happened?" Olive asked Alveena curiously.
"He chose his fiancee. He remained loyal to his fiancee," Alveena said to her, still smiling.
"I'm sorry about that." Those were the only words she could utter. Olive didn't know how to console her. She knew how it felt to be brokenhearted.
"But do you know what is the funniest thing? Instead of hating him, I love him more now. Because he is so faithful and loyal to someone he is already committed with. I respect and admire him for choosing the right thing."
"The one thing I regretted was… I haven't met him sooner. How I wish I am his fiancee. Sigh! I hate Fate and Destiny, not him! They should have let me meet him first!!!"
