A bit of assurance

 Anthony's POV

“You still haven't changed a bit “.

I heard a familiar voice in my sleep, but I was too lazy and weak to open my eyes.

“Do you have any drink here “.the annoying voice came out again.

“Get out of my room “. I groaned in anger while still asleep.

The person Chuckled softly, and I could hear movement around the room.

Out of curiosity, I slowly open my eyes and saw a man backing me with his hands on my laptop.

“Who the hell are you “. I shouted angrily before getting off my bed.

“Who are you “. I shouted and turn around the person only to meet face to face with a smiling diamond.

“So you don't recognize me”.he spoke with a big grin on his face.

I chuckled and gave him a tight hug.it's been five years since we last met.

“My wife won't approve of this “.he spoke jokingly and hug me tighter.

“I miss you, bro “.he murmured.

We ended the hug and smiled at each other.

“You look good”. I commended, when I saw how good-looking he was.

“You are not bad yourself”.he replied.

“Oh please, everyone knows I look horrible”. I replied him and sat on the bed.

“I was expecting you by tomorrow”. I spoke up, 

“Yeah, but I thought it would be better if I came earlier”

He took a drink from the bar and poured out some for himself.

“I've been calling Olivia, but she hasn't been picking up “.he said those words while staring beside me.

“Maybe she is busy or something”. I murmured. The thought of she been with Jude made me angry, but I quickly wipe it away.

“Uncle told me everything”. Diamond spoke up.

“I need your help, you know how much I love Olivia”. I spoke almost in a pled.

He stared at me for a while before speaking.

“Olivia is my friend and I want what is best for her “.he spoke calmly, but I knew he meant what he said.

I hissed softly before speaking.

“You of all people know how much she means to me “. I pled, 

He stared at me but did not say a word.

We sat there in silence for a while before he stood up from the bed.

“Let's go “.

“Where to “. I asked while getting off the bed.

“Dress up, we are going to see Olivia”.he said those words and left my room. I took a bath and dressed casually, before leaving my room.

I got downstairs and met diamond talking to mom in the sitting room. I met Mom gaze, but I quickly looked away. My relationship with my mom has been terrible since the incident with Linda.

I ignored mom and walk over to Jude.

“Let's go “. I told him and was about leaving the sitting room.

“Tony “.mom called. I groaned before turning around.

“What do you need mom” I asked in irritation.

Diamond hit me slightly on the arm.

Mom stared at me for a while before speaking, 

“I heard you are going to see oli”.she asked

“That's correct”. I replied nonchalantly.

“Can you tell her I said hi”.mom spoke with a smile on her face.

“You said hi “. I asked in anger.

Mom stared at me but looked away.

“I thought you hated her so much”. I spoke in anger. I couldn't easily forget all mom said about Olivia and how she hated her for no good reason.

“Son” she called.

“Stop this, mom, please stop this “. I spoke in anger and angrily left the sitting room.

I got to the car garage and found my bodyguard and driver already waiting for me.

“Give me the keys, I'll be driving”.both of them gave me a curious look but did not say a word, 

I heard footsteps and saw diamond walking towards my way. He gave me an angry look before getting in the car.

I took the keys from my driver and hop into the driver's seat.

I started the car, and we drove out of the house.

“That wasn't necessary”. Diamond spoke up. I knew what he meant, but I decided to ignore him.

“You shouldn't treat her in that manner”.his voice was calm, but I knew he was angry.

I knew the way I've been treating mom wasn't right, but I just can't forget all she did.

The drive to Olivia's house was silent, neither I nor diamond said a word. When we got to her house, I Started feeling nervous and scared.

We got to her apartment door and knocked a few times before we heard a sound from the room.

The door was opened, revealing Chris standing by the door .with the look on his face, it was obvious he wasn't happy to see me. he stared at me for a while before he moved his gaze to diamond. He stared at the diamond for a while before I noticed a smile on his face.

“You must be Didi”.he exclaims in joy, 

“Yeah, only Olivia calls me that “. Jude replied, 

Chris chuckled softly before bringing forth his hand to diamond.

“I'm Chris, Olivia's best friend”. Diamond smilled and took his hand. I felt angry and ignored, but that wasn't my problem.

“Is Olivia in “. I asked.

Christ gave me an angry look before looking away.

“Are you here to see oli”.he asked diamond while ignoring me.

I hissed in frustration but decided to stay cool.

“Yes, we are here to see oli, is she in “. Diamond asked.

“No, she is out, but I just called her, and she said she is on her way, you can come in and wait for her “.he smiled at diamond while ignoring me.

He opened the door wider and let diamond and I in.

We got to the sitting room and sat on the couch.

“What should I get you, “.he said those words directly at diamond like I wasn't seated there.

“Anything will be fine”. Diamond replied him, 

Chris stared at me before leaving for the kitchen.

“That dude hates you “.

“Yeah I know”. I murmured. The word hasn't left my mouth when I noticed footsteps walking in.

I turn around and met Olivia and Jude walking inside the sitting.

Olivia face was full of shock when she saw diamond.

“Didi”.she shouted in joy and rushed to diamond. He chuckled softly and stood up from the couch and hugged her tightly.

“I miss you so much “.he spoke in a low tone.

“I miss you more “.she murmured.

He chuckled softly before letting go of her.

“You look good “.he stared at her.

She chuckled nervously and looked away.

She met eyes with me, but quickly looked away .she turns around and smiled at Jude.

“Jude meet Didi, my very good friend, Didi meet Jude my fiancé”.the moment I heard those words from her, I felt uneasy and scared, but diamond gave me an assuring smile.
