Why Are You Spinning?

Olivia's POV:

Since I was out, I asked Uncle Jack to drop me off at Yves Hospital, as I needed to see my dad. I walked into my father's ward and saw his mother slicing some apples for him.

 

"Olivia" Father called happily; I noticed he had become more healthy instead; he was admitted, so how come he keeps getting fat?

 

"Father, how are you doing?" I asked, but he kept glancing behind me.

 

"You came with Mr. Bennett?" Mother asked, and I sighed heavily. What did they want to see Mr. Bennett for?

 

"He is busy," I replied and my father nodded in understanding.

"Then you should come with him next time," my father said, and I nodded.

 

"I saw the news. Tomorrow is the Bennett Enterprise anniversary. Will you be there?" Mother asked curiously, and I nodded even when I didn't want to be there.

 

"Mr. Bennett was cherishing you a lot," my father added, and I rolled my eyes. Could he cherish someone?

 

"You must be at your best behavior tomorrow; Mr. Bennett is a man of high standards... So don't go tarnish my name," my father said, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

 

"What name?" I asked before turning to leave. I came to see them, and they only talked about Mr. Bennett.

"Olivia, I hope you don't meet with Caleb anymore," my mother asked, and I stopped on my path before glaring at her. They were supposed to support my relationship with Caleb and help me escape Mr. Bennett, but instead, they already took Mr. Bennett as their son.

 

"I love him," I said and my father frowned.

 

"So are you going to cheat on your husband?" He asked in disbelief, and I glared at them before rushing out of the ward. I walked down the corridor when I bumped into Natalie.

"Olivia," she called before walking closer to me. I was hurt, and tears rolled down my cheeks. She got confused and hugged me. "You will be fine," she said, even when she didn't know what was bothering me.

We both headed to the coffee section of the hospital. We both ordered our coffee, and I took a sip before staring around. I was exhausted and confused. How did my life end up like this?

 

"Did something happen to your father?" she asked, and I shook my head in denial.

 

"Natalie, do you also think Mr. Bennett is way better than Caleb? Do you think he is the perfect choice for me compared to Caleb? because I don't think so," I explained, and she only listened without replying.

 

"You know, Caleb and I had planned the perfect home... But who would have imagined that I would end up being Mrs. Bennett?" I chuckled before sipping my coffee.

 

"Do you know how many ladies will kill to be in your position? I would have killed to be there as well," Natalie said, and I frowned. Life wasn't all about money.

 

"He has money; is that enough?" I sneered.

 

"Not only money; he has something that Caleb doesn't have. And that's genuine love for you," she said, and her words got to me, but I shook the thought away. Mr. Bennett didn't love me. I don't think it's possible for a man like him to love someone like me; he must have had other motives for marrying me.

 

"So that's why you should secure your place," she said before blinking at me.

 

"You are crazy," I said, and she burst out in laughter. We talked for hours and didn't even pay attention to the time. Then I sighed heavily when Natalie started talking about her job.

 

"Mr. Bennett has frustrated my life; he didn't only keep me away from the man I love, but he kept me from what I loved doing the most," I said, and she rolled her eyes.

 

"People work for money, so if he has the money, then why bother to work?"

 

"I love working," I stated, and she nodded before glaring at her time.

 

"We have been here for a long time; will your husband not be mine?" She asked, and a thought came to my mind.

 

"If I stay out for long, do you think he will get upset?" I asked, and she nodded. Then I was going to stay out.

 

"How about the nightclub?" I asked, and she shook her head in denial.

"I am not going to the club with Mr. Bennett's woman," she said strictly, and I stood up and dragged her out of the hospital.

 

"Olivia… I don't think we should go there." She tried persuading me, but it was a waste of time. I was going to have fun and come back so late that Mr. Bennett would have no choice but to throw me out of the house.

 

"If I had the money, then I would have gone alone, but I don't, and that's why I am going with you," I said honestly, and her eyes widened in shock.

 

"Your husband is a human ATM; you just need to show him some of your bedroom skills," she was saying when I used my hands to close her mouth as she burst out in laughter.

 

"Okay, fine, let's go," she finally accepted before stopping a cab, and we both got in.

 

**

-night, 10 pm-

 

I felt dizzy as Natalie helped me out of the car and into the Bennett mansion. She refused to go any further in case Mr. Bennett was angry; then he would decide to throw a punch at her.

 

I burped and watched as she left, then I felt nauseous and vomited. I couldn't maintain my balance as I walked in. The sitting room was dark, but there was light from the couch, and the sitting room was filled with the scent of cigarettes.

 

Mr. Bennett stood up and walked towards me. I swallowed hard as I anticipated that he would scold me and then tell me to leave. Here was my chance to escape the party tomorrow.

 

My eyes widened in shock as he walked towards me with a glass of water. "It's water and limes; drink it," he said, and I was confused.

 

He already prepared lime water while waiting for me; how did he know that I was drinking and would need this?

 

I couldn't think straight. "Why are you spinning?" I asked, and why was he not angry and shouting at me?
