Chapter 28

As Jaime was about to tell Kylie to dial his personal doctor's number, Olivia woke up "Where am I?" She asked "Mom?" Kylie called "We're on our way home" Jaime replied "How are you feeling? I'm just about to call my doctor"

"You don't have to. I'm okay now" Olivia said and fell back asleep few minutes later ***

"Are you sure she is really okay?" Kylie asked worriedly as Jaime was heading inside Olivia's room with Olivia in his arms "Yeah, she is" Jaime replied and laid Olivia down on the bed Jaime followed Kylie to her room and talked to her until she fell asleep before he went back to Olivia's room which he had been sharing with her for some days After sleeping next to Olivia on the bed, he picked up his phone and browsed about pregnancy earlier stage. He sighed heavily with relieve when he found what he was searching for "dizziness and fainting"

He slowly looked at Olivia that was sleeping peacefully by his side and thought "I'm sure you're not on birth control. Maybe you're pregnant with another baby of ours"

***

The next morning, Jaime's phone woke him up and he murmured some angry words before he picked up "Good morning, sir" Henry said on the phone "Yes" Jaime replied sleepily "Where are you? Are you on your way?" Henry asked "No. Why should I be on my way at this hour?" Jaime replied and checked his wristwatch that was on the bedside table. "The time is five thirty."

"You're having a meeting with Mr. Kim in thirty minutes time."

Mr. Kim was a Korean businessman who Jaime had been trying to meet for a long time for a multi-million dollar contract, but last night’s event had made Jaime too weak to wake up in time for the meeting.

"Oh," Jaime trailed off, "That is true. I'm on my way now."

Jaime hung up the phone and headed to the bathroom.

***

Jaime lightly pecked Olivia on the cheek and said, "Babe, I will be back soon."

"Where are you going?" Olivia asked sleepily.

"To the office."

"At this time of the day?"

"Yeah" he replied "I'm trying to please a rich psycho. I'll be back in three hours latest"

"Okay. What about Kylie? How is she going to school this morning?"

"My driver will be here to pick her up. How are you feeling now?"

"Better" Olivia replied "Don't stress yourself too much. We will talk when I'm back. Love you"

"I love you too"

Two and half hours later Olivia was cleaning the house when her phone rang. She dropped the mop that she was holding and ran into her room in order to pick the call on time "Hey Bianca" she said into the phone "Olivia, where are you?" Bianca said worriedly "Home," she replied, "Is there a problem?"

"Turn on your TV and see for yourself," Bianca said.

"Stop freaking me out. Can you tell me what this is all about?"

"Just go turn on the damn TV!"

Without saying another word, Olivia ran to the sitting room and turned on the news "DRUNKARD WISH COME TRUE" was written boldly on the screen of her TV and she saw a picture of her being on the floor, Jaime bent over as if he wanted to help her up and a worried Kylie in the background while two presenters were talking about something that happened at the restaurant last night.

She had no idea what was going on, but one thing she was sure of was that she was the woman in that picture and Kylie was also the little girl in it. She was being described as a useless slut, who got pregnant at her teen to an unknown man and ran away from home in order to continue living her wayward life.

She became alcoholic and had a crush on Jaime who fortunately she met and requested him to go to dinner with her and her daughter.

Jaime Scott being a nice man accepted her request and went to dinner with her but Olivia being an alcoholic that she was couldn't even control herself at the dinner.

"What!?" Olivia said. She was shaking all over with anger "Thank God you're still there" Bianca said on the phone "I've been trying to get your attention since"

"Bianca" Olivia cried "What is the news all about? I thought you told me that you've stopped drinking"

"Of course I have" Olivia said while breathing heavily "I didn't even have a sip last night" Olivia replied "Then, why did you fall in the video?"

"There is video?" Olivia asked "Of course, there's"

"OMG!" Olivia shouted in annoyance with her eyes closed "You know that I'm not really mad about everything that is happening now. The only thing I'm mad about is my daughter's face on the screen"

"If truthfully, you weren't drunk then, why were you walking drunkenly?"

"That, I can't answer" Olivia said and exhaled heavily through her mouth "You know what, we'll talk later. Let me talk to Jaime"

"Okay. I will be expecting your call. And if you want me to come and pick you up, I'm ready"

Olivia hung up the phone and dialed Jaime's number ***

Jaime was already on his way home when his phone rang. He checked the caller and smiled at himself when he saw who it was "Babe" he called "Jaime" Olivia cried

"What is wrong?"

"Every TV station is talking about us right now," she sobbed.

"About us?"

"About last night…"

"Oh yeah" Jaime chipped in "It's nothing to worry about. I knew they would talk about us this morning."

"You knew they would talk about me being a slut, and a drunkard?"

"What…what did you say? I can't hear you. Let me pull over and call you back," Jaime said. He hung up the phone and looked at the road with fear in his eyes. His distraction was going to cost him his life. He screamed horrifically as he drove into a pole.
