ALL I WANT IS YOU

He also consulted with Alberto about the case but Alberto was trying to play a smart one on him, he claimed it was best Matteo came out of hiding first before they could know the way forward. He had decided to work with someone more reliable, Travis. Travis was a lawyer and a very good one at that. After Matteo, he definitely trusted Travis to handle issues like this. He had met Travis when he was much younger, a young boy looking for any means to outlive his issue with poverty.

'I will do anything Mr Klar, I just want to work for you, to be by your side.'

Stephan had accepted him right away, the boy reminded him of his younger self and in his journey to Travis house. He had met someone he didn't want to meet, Olivia.

"Stephan." Olivia opened the door staring at Stephan, she had thought it was the pizza guy and didn't bother to dress properly. Her plan had been to collect the pizza and go back in. What was Stephan doing here? Had Dawn finally decided to lock her up? She had not heard or seen Dawn for three weeks now and when she went to Stephan's office, she was denied entry. She had given up and decided to wait patiently till she could figure out another plan.

"Where is Travis?" Stephan said not moved by the fact that she was wearing only her bra and pant.

"Travis? I mean it's nice to see you, how is Dawn?"

"Is the owner of the house in?" It seemed Travis had given her a different name because she didn't know the Travis he was talking about.

"Babe, let him in." Stephan heard Travis voice. Olivia opened the door wondering the connection between Stephan and Travis. Not that she knew much about Travis, she had only met him at a club, he was far too young for her but he was wealthy and he proved that when he announced that all the drinks ordered by the people in the club should be placed on his tab.

Her ear had flared up at the sound of that, she had approached him and tried her best to get to him. She was glad when he had called her and for the past four days she had been here, it was progress. She didn't know if Travis loved her but she knew he was fond of her presence already.

It was a good progress, one that she could never achieve when she was with Stephan. She never slept off and he never cared. He felt at ease sending her away than actually having her stay with him and when she had even managed to stay in his house. They slept in seperate rooms.

"Boss," Travis smiled and hugged Stephan without his permission. "I was about calling you when I heard about the latest, we should go to the balcony to discuss."

"Of course," Stephan agreed not interested in staying here, the room reeked of smoke and sex, lots of it.

Travis opened the balcony door and motioned Stephan to sit down, then he stared at Olivia.

"Babe get us something to drink," he smiled at her. "What will you have Stephan?"

"Am fine," Stephan sternly replied not interested in having a drink but the smile on Travis face was not having any of it.

"Get us something strong babe," Travis closed the door and sat opposite Stephan.

"Boss," Travis called out again. "You could have called me to come to your apartment."

"It's been a while I paid you a visit."

"That's true, how is Madam Dawn? I heard she was kidnapped but you rescued her, I would have paid my visit but I didn't want to intrude." Travis had found out that Stephan was fond of miss Dawn, it was a surprise to him but he was happy for him that he had found someone that cared about him.

"I understand."

"What brings you here?"

"Am here to discuss Matteo's case."

Olivia walked in and dropped the drink, she didn't know why Stephan was here and she felt nervous in between this two men.

"What brings you here?" She asked but got no response from Stephan and she wished she had not asked in the first place. She served the drink into the wine glass and placed it close to him. The men were quiet and it was obvious they were waiting for her to get the fuck out.

She left after she was done with shaky hands, if she wasn't careful she would have spilled the wine on Stephan.

"She isn't the main, so don't scold me." Travis said when he realized the tension between Stephan and Olivia. It seemed they knew each other, he could bet that Stephan had fucked her.

"I won't, the reason I am here is for Matteo not for whoever you are now fucking. You are now a grown man Travis, you should be accountable for your actions."

Stephan wasn't bothered about the situation. Olivia was a loose woman, she didn't slack in that area. His main concern was his brother, Matteo.

"There are a lot of things we can do, I know you want to protect Matteo by all means but for this to work, Matteo needs to be available. His absence will not enable me to have a strong case." Travis explained, they had been going back and forth as regards Matteo. It was well known that when a person was absent for too long it is not a good sign.

"He wasn't around during the time of the crime, that is a good case."

"A good case that could also mean that he is in hiding because he is actually guilty."

Stephan stared at Travis, he finally took a sip from the wine and it was one of his favourite wine.

It seemed Travis knew what he was saying, ofcourse he knew what he was saying. Stephan had also thought about the scenario as well and the possibility that they might look at it from that angle.

His event was forthcoming next weekend and he didn't need all this drama, his phone vibrated in his pocket and when he brought it out to check who it was from, it was Dawn. She sent him a message 'Scar is here'.

Right Scar, they were still processing his case and from the looks of things Stephan was going to cancel the case. Not cancel technically but Scar would not be implicated on one condition, which Stephan had not figured out yet but he had requested Scar to come to the pent house today.

He made sure the receptionist kept him at the lobby but Dawn could see him through the security camera in the pent house.

"Excuse me," Stephan said dialing Dawn's number. Travis nodded and went back inside, he didn't want to listen in on his conversation. "Where are you?" He heard Dawn's voice.

"Still busy with work but I should be home soon." Stephan said. "He will remain in the lobby, so you don't have to worry."

"Alright."

"I will call you on my way back," Stephan replied.

"Alright," Dawn said as she disconnected the call.

When Travis checked on Olivia, she seemed to have been eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Hey," Travis smiled at her giving her a peck on the cheek. "I thought you will be getting ready to leave?"

"Leave?" Olivia replied, was he driving her away already. It wasn't even up to a week.

Did Stephan mention something to him?

She had tried to listen in but she couldn't pick up anything from what they were saying, she didn't know if it was the glass or she just wasn't listening in closely.

"It's almost a week, do you plan to move in?"

Ah, now she understood his point. It wasn't like they were dating that it would require her to spend the rest of her life here, she had gotten carried away by the situation and failed to not let her guards down.

She wanted him to see her as an inexperienced woman but it seemed she was failing woefully, it wasn't just that, Olivia was desperate. She wanted to attain a status, she wanted to be better than Dawn in everything and in finding a man, a wealthy man.

She remembered when Dawn had not come into her life, Stephan had doted on her alone. He had always called her when he felt alone and needed a listening ear, he took her out to dinner and rumor had it he nearly made it official but till today she didn't know what made him change his mind.

She had wondered why? but maybe it was Dawn because since Dawn came things had not been going her way.

"Ofcourse I did get ready, I was just waiting for you to round up with..."

"Your lover?" Travis said.

What? Did Stephan tell him? She couldn't tell from the way he was looking at her. She wished she could read his mind.
