Olivia's POV
Today was D- day,my wedding day. It's been two weeks since I have been living in this house, pretending like we were in love, accompanying Jake to every social function trying to convince people I was his longtime high school sweetheart and crush. I stared at my reflection in the mirror,the white wedding gown I was wearing was stunning and expensive,it cost a lot. But despite how beautiful the dress looked I was still looking sad,the make up couldn't hide my Sadness,I wished I could run away but I couldn't,I had to stay for the sake of my Father. As I stood there I heard a knock at the door. "Come in" I answered not moving from where I stood. It was Jake's mum. She was really a kind soul and different from her son,totally oblivious about the fact this marriage was fake.
"You look beautiful Olivia,my son really has eyes for good things" she complimented
"Thank you Mrs Michaelson"
"It is time" she announced
I took in a deep breath and let it out slowly before stepping out,so many people were already gathered smiling at me as I stepped in along with my father waiting for my groom. Immediately I saw Jake walk in, I hated to say this but he looked absolutely handsome,we exchanged vows and I said yes to this Union,I was legally married now.
The wedding was almost over,I was wandering around when I felt a cold arm grab me to a corner it was Clinton,my face beamed with happiness
"Clint,I'm so sorry I had to do this for my father's sake" I apologized, kissing him immediately.
He nodded holding my face "yes I understand Oli,and I have a plan in mind"
"Which is?"
"I want you to play along for now,but you must kill him"
"Kill him?"
"Yes,that way you can inherit his properties,save your father's company and we can get married finally "
"You want me to kill your cousin?I don't think I can do that"
He handed me a bottle "Here,take this,put it in his drink and he would be dead within few hours that way no one would suspect"
I accepted it,and hid it in my bra area."You know how rich and powerful he is,his family would surely conduct an autopsy and you know what that would do to me"I asked.
"That's the most interesting part,this poison is not just any poison,it's really powerful but almost invisible in the body system"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes,you have to leave now before people get suspicious"
I nodded leaving,bumping immediately into the lady I met at the house,Jake's mistress. She looked extravagant in the white dress she wore. We looked like two brides.
"Congratulations, Bitch!" She retorted.
I gawked at her "Thank you,side piece"
"You know he doesn't care about you right? He just wants to use you and dump you as soon as he is done"
"Oh,like the same way he did to you?"
She laughed out loud, moving closer to me,her expressions changing to fierceness.
"You this little brat,I would advise you as a friend that you should enjoy it while it last because when Jake is done with you,you are going to wish you never met him"
I blinked twice,she smiled at me before walking past me, her shoulders brushing mine.
Jake approached me smiling in a fake manner.
"What is happening between you two?" He asked.
"She was just telling me how big of an asshole you are," I replied, hugging him," but you should know I am not one to mess with" I added.

I arrived at the hotel with my newly wedded husband for our honeymoon and we checked in at the front desk. The receptionist smiled at us, her eyes fixed on our wedding rings. "Do you want a single room or double rooms?" she asked,I looked at Jake and he raised an eyebrow. " We would need a double room" he said ,I shaked my head in disagreement,"No, we will need separate rooms' ' I said firmly,Jake was shocked by this. "What?why?"he asked confused
"I'm sorry but I'm not ready to Share a room with you yet" I said, keeping my voice as even as possible. I could see the anger in his eyes but I couldn't bring myself to stay with him in the same room. He holds my hands softly," I understand this is a big step for us and I promise I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do '' Jake says.
The receptionist cleared her throats, smiling awkwardly," Eem,so sorry to In form you Madam,but we only have one double room left"
"Thank you so much," Jake says, collecting the keys from her,as we stepped into the hotel room,I'm immediately struck by how luxurious it was. The carpet is thick and plush under my feet and the room is filled with rich and dark wood furniture. There's a king-sized bed in the center of the room, with silk sheets and a thick, fluffy comforter. A large flat-screen TV is mounted on the wall.
I placed my traveling box in the wardrobe.
"So how do you like this place?"Jake asked
"Not the best but it's manageable,if I were here with Clinton I would have called it perfect" I responded walking around checking the place out. I turned to see that Jake had already removed his clothes. He was totally naked.I was shocked by how bui
lt and hot he was. He had an alluring smile on his face.
