Olivia

The alarm awakened Daniel and me both,I sat up as Daniel stretched himself. It was about seven and the sunlight began to peak through the window blinds. We both got ready to leave for our usual work, It was my first day, and I needed to check on the work there. Before we could leave, Daniel made sure I had breakfast and then we left.

The car ride was silent as Daniel looked through emails he had been ignoring. We pulled up to the store and got out of the car. I opened the door to find Julia nd the staff inside. Daniel took a look around and then pulled Julia off to have a private conversation, I assume it was an order for me to take it easy.

He returned quickly and kissed me goodbye. “I’ll see you at home Love.” he proceeded to go to the door to leave.

“Okay.” I smiled and gave him a small wave.

“How are you?” Julia asked once the door was shut.

“I’m good,” I responded. “And how are things here?” I looked around.

“Everything’s been running great. Your Husband made sure nothing

    Olivia"How was the appointment?"Julia asked as she entered my office."Everything went great, and we found out the gender as well," I responded with a tease."Really! Is it a boy or girl?"She asked in excitement."A girl" I replied.Julia seemed way too excited and how couldn't she? This baby had already been loved by many without entering the world yet.Before we continued our conversation there was a knock on the door. “Come in,” I spoke loud enough for the person on the other side to hear.The door opened and Kate walked inside. “There’s a man at the front counter insisting he speaks to you directly. I tried to send him away or to tell me what he wants but he refused and said it must be you he talks to.” She informed me.“Did he say if he was a customer?” I asked.“No. He won’t give me any information.” She answered.“Okay.” I nodded. “Let him know I’ll be right there.”“Okay.” she turned and left the room.“Who do you think it is?” Julia asked. She seemed to be just as confused as

    OliviaAfter the man left, I gave my mother a call about the man who claimed to be my uncle. She refused to talk about the matter over the phone. She seemed nervous and uneasy during the whole conversation I had with her. In the end, she finally agreed to tell me more, but it had to be in person. I was going to go right away after I was finished at the store. I gave Daniel a call and informed him I would be a little late tonight. He insisted that I could just have my mother come to the mansion, but I declined. I knew I would get the best information if she was comfortable in her environment.I had the driver drive me to my mother’s home. I got out of the car and made my way up the steps. I rang the doorbell and waited patiently for her to answer. It wasn’t long before she opened the door to let me come in.I walked into the living room, and she followed right behind me. I took a seat on the couch and she sat next to me. We positioned ourselves so we could still see each other face-to-f

    OliviaAfter the conversation with my mother, Daniel decided to pick me up, Once the car door closed he turned to face me. “What’s wrong?”he asked.I sighed as I took place my bag in the back seat. “I found out some things about my mother today.”He still looked at me with concern as he sat beside me. “Things like what?”“Apparently,she lied about my grandparents and her life before, the truth is, she was part of an upper-class family in Texas that deals with business in Dallas,” I answered.“What’s the name?”He looked at me curiously.“Brown. My mother left after she had a fallout with her mother. She met my father a few months after, they had me and she updated her last name to Scott. I explained.“That explains a lot.” He responded.“What do you mean?” I asked in confusion.He chuckled slightly. “I told you, Love, I did my research on you. I could find details about your father’s side but there was nothing about your mother family. She hid her tracks very well.”“Stalker.” I accuse

    OliviaIt had been three weeks since my last appointment with the doctor. Daniel and I were on our way to the doctor's to make sure everything was growing correctly. My stomach seemed to be growing week by week. I was estimated to be at about twenty weeks, halfway through. The further I got, the more uncomfortable I was.The media had a field day when all the information was out in the open. Everyone knew Daniel and I were expecting. He made sure that only respectful things were said about us. The media outlets knew what they risked if they pissed him off so they all agreed to his terms for running any stories.As for my father's family, I hadn't heard a word. Daniel had been keeping an eye on them, and we knew they were still in town. They knew I was his wife, so they could just be taking their time to approach me. Like they were being careful on how they should go about this. However, it was more in their best interest if they would just leave. That didn't seem like it was going to

    OliviaToday was the day that I meet the Scott and I was kinda nervous."Love, are you ready to go yet?" Daniel asked as he finished tying his silk grey tie. He chose to wear an all black suit for tonight. His hair was slicked back and the stubble of his beard had been trimmed down."Yes." I responded as I sat down on the bed to get my shoes on. I chose a ruby red long sleeve dress that went to my knees. I pulled the black strappy heels onto my feet, heels weren't ideal at this point but they were fine for occasions like dinner or special events.He turned around from the mirror he was standing in front of and looked me up and down. "You look stunning." he complimented."Thank you." I blushed slightly."We better get going though. We can get this done and over with." He spoke.I stood up and followed him out of the room. We went down to the garage and got into his car. We drove ourselves so Gabriel could have a night off to himself. By how it sounded, it seemed he would be spending th

    OliviaDebra's facial expression changed as her tone became more annoyed than earlier."I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm telling her the truth." The waiter brought our meals, interrupting any further discussion. He set them down and asked if we needed anything else. I could tell the man was uncomfortable as the tension from our table seemed even worse than before. Once we were all set, he left again fairly quickly. "I'll let you think about it while we eat our meal. If you still have no idea once we're finished, I'll tell Olivia, and that'll be your reminder." He responded and then took a bite of the salmon he had ordered for himself. Everyone began to eat the food in front of them. I had gotten a chicken escalope with a side of vegetables. Everything tasted great, but the tension at the table made it so it was hard to enjoy. I could feel the animosity Daniel and Debra seemed to have for each other. Once everyone was finished, Daniel looked back to Debra. "Time is up.

    OliviaA few days have come and gone since the dinner, and I discussed with my mother everything that had gone on. She was livid to find out the details. She couldn't believe how low her mother was, She was pissed.Daniel offered to make sure they learned their lesson. I didn't hesitate to take him up on it. He had spent the last few days making sure everyone associated with his business to not do business with Scott Industries. He made sure they knew it was so important that if anyone tried to sign anything with them, they would lose all support from him. It wasn't just here in Nashville either, it was everywhere.He was determined to make them fall. He was a ruthless tyrant in the business world. It was easy for him to get the other businesses on board. No one wanted to piss him off.I spent the last few days working on things at the store. The spring line would need to come out in about a month or two. It seemed so far away, but it was coming quickly. I also needed to get designs s

    Olivia"Sir, the Scott have pulled up and are approaching the door." Gabriel came in to give a warning before greeting them."Very well. Bring them in, and we'll sit for dinner right away." Daniel responded."Right this way." We heard Gabriel's voice from the hall. Then, there were footsteps heading in our direction. Daniel sat at the head of the table while I sat next to him. we hardly have guests in our home apart from my mother, so it was pretty awkward. Debra sat across from me, and Richard sat across from Daniel. Daniel glared at them both as they sat down. The tension between us and them was clear."Welcome to our home," Daniel spoke to them."No problem. Thank you for having us." Debra responded. "The staff hurried out to serve the meal that was prepared. Tonight, we would be having some pork chops that were prepared perfectly. It was served with a mix of broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots. There was also a green salad and a roll. Daniel had strayed away from serving anythin

    OliviaWe drove back to our home silently.He and I needed to have a more in-depth talk about this dinner he planned and then kept his distance. We pulled into the driveway and I went inside without waiting for him. I made my way to the bedroom so we could have privacy. I could hear him following behind me. The bedroom door opened and then closed shortly after I had come in here."Did I do something wrong?" He asked.I sighed as I turned to look at him. "You are so hard to read and I don't know what to do about it.""What do you mean?" He questioned further."You seemed to be emotionless and distant at dinner, but before we leave you're apologizing for not being enough. Are you sorry or at this point do you just tell me what you think I want to hear?" I responded with a question of my own."No. I am sorry I haven't been enough." I could tell he was trying to sound sincere but it just sounded forced."Then why does it seem you didn't even want to be at the dinner you planned?" I felt l

    OliviaThe past few days felt like a nightmare; Daniel was completely out of line, He hardly sat at dinner with me. He was stuck in his study, investigating the person who shot him. He even started to drinking which was the worst state to see him in. He refused to talk more about that night. After he admitted he couldn't be weak he took himself to the room I had when I originally came here. I was pissed he had been drunk but I tried to put my feelings aside because I knew it was more like a cry for help. He just needed to push his pride to the side and get the help needed. We couldn't live like this forever.He spent the next week trying to make it up to me in little ways. A couple of gifts here and there, nothing too extreme. He even put together a small dinner for my birthday tonight. I appreciated the gestures but it didn't fix anything right now. What I wanted was my husband back one hundred percent."Are you ready Love?" He asked as he entered the room."Yes." I nodded as I looke

    Clyde I could feel myself becoming calmer after the doctor had left the room. I just wanted to get home and get back to my life. I felt like I was going crazy as I sat in this same room over the past few days. There wasn't very much entertainment in the hospital and I had things to do.I needed to figure out who attempted to kill me. I knew I was supposed to be relaxing, but when I was by myself, I spent time compiling a list. A list of people who I have pissed off and made enemies out of. It consisted of people who I cut business with, people who begged to do business, but I declined, and some old friends who are no longer in my life for good reason. I had pissed off a lot of people in my lifetime and I knew it.I didn't care at the time when I dealt with these people. I never thought I would have to worry about them hurting anyone else but me. Now things were different. I had a family I needed to protect and I felt useless recently. I needed to figure this out, not just for me but

    Olivia I return to Daniel at the hospital after the information that I had just received. I needed to figure out the best way to bring it up to him. I knew it would cause him stress and worry and he didn't need that right now. But I also couldn't keep it from him, it wouldn't be right and he would be pissed if I did.I parked my car and headed inside to the hospital. The driver followed behind of course. He also accompanied me through the lobby and to Daniel's door. We needed to be careful. We both needed to make sure security didn't leave our side.I took a deep breath in and let it out before opening the door. "How is everything?" Daniel asked as I took a seat in one of the chairs."Everything is fine. She's doing well." I reassured him.It wasn't a total lie. Our baby was doing just fine for where she needed to be. It was my body that seemed to be having a problem. It had decided it was time to begin the process of her arrival. I knew we could handle her coming early, but it made

    OliviaI’ve been spending my days at the hospital and forgot to do my weekly checkup at the doctor."I'll be back in a little bit, okay?" I spoke to Daniel as I gathered my things."I don't know why he can't just come here to examine you. It is a hospital after all." He wasn't pleased I was leaving."Because the doctor has a whole clinic with multiple patients," I responded. "I also have to check in at the store. Julia has been doing much more than she's paid to do.""Just get back here soon, Love." He sighed."I know. I won't take long." I reassured him. I placed my lips on his to kiss him goodbye. As I pulled away and headed for the door he grabbed my hand in his to stop me. I glanced back at him to see what he was doing. This man took a moment to check out my ass."Hmm." He bit his bottom lip. "I need to get out of this hospital soon. I have needs that need to be attended to."I rolled my eyes. "Why don't you take a nap?" I suggested."Maybe I will." he smirked. "But I can't guara

    Olivia"I know. I know." He spoke as he used his hand to stroke my hair as he held me tightly. "I'm here. no one is going to take me away from you that easily.”I looked up at him. My cheeks were wet, as a few tears had escaped. I was holding back, though, as I was already sick of crying. My eyes and my head hurt from last night, and I didn't want it to get any worse.He placed a kiss on my forehead and proceeded to look around the hospital room. "What happened to me?" he asked."You were shot in the study," I answered. "There were four bullet wounds in total. Two on your right shoulder and two on your lower back. You lost a lot of blood and went into shock."He was quiet as he took in the information I shared with him. "The last thing I remember is going through emails. I got up to go to the kitchen to start figuring out what to make for you and then I fell to the ground.""I feel awful. You were laying there for hours because I worked late." I responded in a low tone. My guilt had

    OliviaIt had been a week since Daniel had been in the hospital, and I decided to go home, get a fresh shower, and rest. I left Gabriel to watch him as the driver took me home. The car pulled up to the mansion. I took a deep breath before turning the knob to go inside. The maid heard me come in and immediately came to me. "I'm so sorry, Madam. How are you holding on?" She was visibly upset. I knew she cared for Daniel and we all did.I tried to keep myself together. "I don't know, Rose. I don't know." I responded.This was also her first night back at the house. I called her and gave her the details while she was with her children. I didn't want her time ruined, and I even told her to stay longer if she'd like. She refused and wanted to be back on her normal day.The feeling of the house was different. I never minded being here alone but it was different when you knew he was eventually going to walk in the door. Right now I wasn't too sure when he would be back. I would give anything

    I only left the hospital once I knew Daniel was stable. He hadn't woken up yet but the transfusions seemed to have helped him a lot. The doctor was satisfied with how much progress he had made. It was just a matter of time before he woke up.I refused to leave his side for longer than a few minutes. I wanted to be there for him when he did wake up so I put Julia in charge of watching over the store. She kept me updated on any information that I needed to know. It helped ease the stress of the situation for right now.It had been about three days since the incident, and it felt like the longest days of my life. I had decided to address the public, so now everyone knew he had been shot. There was a lot of support for him on social media. I was even surprised by some of the messages that I was receiving. People wanted to check in on us.The detective on the case had come in to talk to me. They reviewed the security footage along with other evidence like a footprint. They were confident t

    Olivia I immediately dialed the ambulance number, and they rushed in a few minutes after. It was like witnessing a nightmare that I couldn't wake up from. I couldn't believe this had happened, we had just talked a couple hours ago. All that I could do was stand back and watch the paramedics as they determined how stable he was. They moved quickly to get him on a gurney and back to the ambulance.We arrived at the hospital in a few minutes, and they took Daniel in.Who could have done this? My only guess would be my father since he escaped the prison, or Debra, but I wasn't sure."Mrs. Harrison?" A voice caused me to turn around. It was a male doctor."Is he going to be okay?" I asked."It appears that your husband was shot a few hours ago. He's lost a lot of blood from being left unattended for so long. His body had gone into shock, which is why he was unresponsive. We need to perform surgery to see about removing the bullets and to make any repairs to his organs," the doctor explain
