BXBX NOVEL Chapter 104 Oliver Reyes
When Emma kept staring at him with her eyes wide open in shock, Oliver said, "Will you not invite me in?"
He kept looking at cousin whom he hadn\'t seen for a year. A nostalgic feeling enveloped his heart which made his eyes a little moist.
He wanted for a while for her answer but when she did not say anything, he invited himself in.
"I did not disturb you, did I?" Looking around, he added, "It\'s good that you still stay here, I was worried you changed places.
"I even tried to call you but it did not go through, did you change your number?" He inquired.
When he did not get any response from her, he looked at her. "Did I disturb your sleep? Or—"
Before he could complete his sentence, a kick landed straight on his stomach.
"Arghh—" Oliver groaned in pain and landed on his knees. He squeezed his eyes shut and hugged his stomach.
"How dare you?" Emma yelled and kicked his shoulder.
When he landed on the floor flat, she continued throwing kicks at him without showing any mercy. She didn\'t care if it hurt him or it landed on his face.
"How…dare…you…come…back? You fu*cking shameless b*astard—"
Initially when she saw him, she was shocked and couldn\'t react. But after processing the situation and calming her nerves down, she felt nothing but rage. She was all ready to kill the man in front of her.
"I am going to f*ucking kill you today." Emma rushed to the kitchen to retrieve a knife.
When she dashed towards Oliver to stab him to death, he quickly managed to dodge.
"Emma—are you crazy?" He grabbed her wrist when she tried to stab him again.
"Let go—" she gritted her teeth as she tried to free her hand from his grasp.
"I am here to talk to you, why are you being so violent?" Oliver pursed his lips.
He knew the consequences of coming back. He knew them very well but he had to.
"Talk to you?" Emma glared at him. "After what you did to Rachael, is there anything left to talk about?"
At the mention of Rachael\'s name, he pursed his lips and lowered his head. Guilt enveloped his heart again and he slowly let go off her wrist.
Emma closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself down. She could physically feel her blood boiling in her veins.
Since the day Oliver Reyes, her first cousin, had abandoned Rachael on their wedding day, Emma had cut all ties with him. But that didn\'t stop the urge she had been harboring to kill him whenever she saw him again.
For the entire year she hated Oliver for making her best friend feel miserable but she hated herself more for introducing him to Rachael.
"Leave—" Emma glared at him. "Go back to wherever you were. I don\'t want to see you in this city anymore."
Keeping quiet for a while, Oliver asked, "How is she?"
"Happy Oliver, she is f*ucking happy," she snapped at him.
When he did not say anything, she added, "Thanks to you, she found a great man for herself who treats her the way she deserves."
Emma\'s words pinched his heart. Suppressing his overwhelming heart wrenching emotions, he said, "I am here too see her."
Looking away, Emma scoffed, "Unbelievable. How shameless can you be? Didn\'t you hear what I said? Or did you understand what I meant?"
"Rachael is happily married," she clearly stated, making sure he gets it right.
"I know—" Oliver briefly replied.
"If you know then why the f*uck are you here?" Without giving him a chance to say anything, she warned him. "Don\'t even try to get close to her Oliver. If you do, I swear I\'ll kill you and happily spend the rest of my life behind the bars without any regret."
Oliver did not say anything. He didn\'t mind the harsh words Emma was throwing at him. After what he had done, he knew he deserved them all.
"Is she still angry with me?"
"You wish," she mockingly chuckled. "She doesn\'t care about you anymore, she moved on a long time ago."

[Paradise Park]
"A park?" Rachael looked at him. "We drove here for 45 minutes to take a walk?"
Without saying anything, Andrew jogged to the trunk of the car and retrieved a big picnic basket.
"What—" She raised her brows in surprise. "When did you prepare that?"
"Let\'s go." He grabbed her hand and guided her inside the park.
….
After finding a nice spot under a tree near the pond, Andrew took out a sheet from the basket.
"Help me with this honey."
Rachael couldn\'t help but blushed when he addressed her in a new intimate way. This was the first time he had called her that.
After spreading the sheet on the ground, he sat down and patted the empty space beside him. "Come on babe, sit down."
Rachael: " "
In a short span of one minute, he had addressed her using two different romantic nicknames. This made her wonder what was wrong with her husband.
When she sat down, Andrew started taking out the food he had prepared for them in the morning.
"This—" She looked at him. "When did you make them?"
"I woke up early." After taking everything out, he looked at her and asked, "What do you think about our first breakfast picnic?"
When Rachael laughed, he inquired, "Why are you laughing? Do you not like it?"
Pulling his cheeks, she cupped his face. "Why are you so cute?" Giving him a quick peck on the lips, she said, "I love it."
Not only did she find it absolutely adorable but also very romantic. Who wouldn\'t like a surprise picnic with their partner in a calm and soothing place right beside a beautiful pond?
Without saying anything, he leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers. He gently sucked her lower lips before pulling away.
"Happy first month anniversary….."
