Chapter 4 - Charles and Olivia get advice from both parents

It has been a day; Charles has kept his distance from his parents; the act can't be seen in him, which keeps the family worried. His parent became curious to know what had happened to him. "I am thinking of letting him be since he is now a grown man full of wisdom", said his father. Yet, the calmness from them became exhausted as they decided to know what was behind his new attitude, along with not wanting to see anyone but rather remaining indoors alone.

"I think it is time we got to know what has been our son problem." "He has been indoors and has refused to eat all day yesterday and today; I think he's worried about something." Elizabeth feeling deep concern when speaking with William. At first, Mr. William loved his wife Elizabeth with his whole heart; he believed in her words and acted nicely toward her. Again, he is down to earth whenever it has to do with his wife's advice. The reason is that she has been his backbone; his wealth and recognition sprang up after getting married to her.Giving ears to every advice she gave him. Upon agreeing to check on Charles in his room, Charles moved down to the sitting room, his face exhausted and full of worry.

"What is it again, son?" His father asked. But he got angry and refused to say a word. Elizabeth drew closer to him; she tried administering motherly love, using all the magic words she had learned, yet he refused to say a word. After two minutes, he spoke out, narrating all that had happened between him and Olivia in his office, the breakup, and what he had experienced during the relationship.

"I thought her mother was able to speak more sense into that girl; at least she assured me a lot that Olivia will surely have a rethink of her decision. Why break up?" She sounded surprised.

"Getting married, to Jonathan, his excellent Hudson son, was among her last words delivered to my hearing before leaving my office, with the aim that the marriage will help her achieve her goal since Hudson has promised to handover the governorship position to her once he steps down." Charles explained. This made his father laugh, seeing how optimistic Olivia has gone with her career pursuit, betraying the family, and restraining both family relationships.

"I don't think she knows what she is doing, and from the looks of it, son, she doesn't deserve to be your wife or my daughter-in-law; she's just a pretender and selfish at the same time." He advice him. "At least you have made wealth, and fame adding to what I have left for you; you stand as the first richest and youngest CEO in Alabama and the second in the United States of America." Getting a wife won't be an issue; rather, think of getting your soulmate. "It is the fatherly advice I can give you now, son," he sighted him closer and concluded. "I am waiting to see that woman, your better half, the virtues woman who will take my blessings as my daughter-in-law, not Olivia." He ended the conversation and continued reading his newspaper. On the other hand, Elizabeth supported Mr. William's advice that letting Olivia go should be the best option for him rather than falling into regret in the future.

With this, they were able to calm him down at that moment. But down inside him, he has vowed not to love again, that love is a scam. Focusing on his career and building his wealth turns out to be his main focus.

The same day, at the same hour, Olivia was receiving advice and caution from her mother. To Olivia, she had done right by breaking up with Charles. "Mother, this is my business and not yours; I have chosen my path, so let him choose his, beside, am not the only woman on earth; He can choose among his female staff", she sound so loud and arrogant. Unknown to her, her mother, have prepared to act angrily on her Just before she said the last word, gave her a slap that made her sees stars earlier before it could show up. "When did you lose your senses? Can you hear yourself? I don't know that you are empty as this, Olivia; what has come over you?" She became ferrous.

"Mother, you slapped me. You have also forgotten earlier how I embraced dad before giving up his ghost, promising to make his dream come true." Well, in case you forget, I, Olivia Michael, must fulfill my promise," she swelled with everything in her. and was seen as one who was barking up the wrong tree.

"There is nothing wrong with you fulfilling the promise you made to your father, but that can't even be accomplished now that you are stepping on the hands that fed your him, the Williams family, that really made him what he is before his death. "Daughter, if only you will hear me, withdraw from what you have with the Hudson family and focus on your man, together with your career." She admonished her.

Olivia still refuses to accept the advice; instead, she remains adamant, trying pushing her mother to the walk , a woman who has dreamed of becoming Williams's in-law.

Now that Olivia isn't presenting the picture of what the family had agreed and shared altogether, becoming Charles' wife and uniting both families as agreed earlier, Regina senses a change of plan. "You are my daughter, and your father mine husband." I have seen beyond what you think is right. "But if you have chosen that path, don't in any way run to me when you get burnt by the fire you have set." She warned her vividly and added, "I still wonder why young people like you can't listen to advice." For cry out loud daughter, this is all about your happiness. You and I know clearly that you don't love Jonathan, but Charles, selling out the love to Jonathan this time around for power still remains my confusion. "Nevertheless, let me watch and see where your idle belief in Hudson will lead you."

Olivia, on her part, acted reluctantly to what Regina said; be so confident of not regretting her actions.
