OLIVIA"Dad, I really don't want to fight with you. As Tay said, I chose him and I expect you to respect my decisions." I say and Tay gives me a million-dollar smile. I know dad was shocked and hurt when he found out my past and I don't blame him for not wanting me to get back with Tay, but he also bailed out on me in Cape Town. "I guess I don't have a choice than to respect your decisions. I hope you know what you are doing Olivia because I don't want you to get hurt again. I am not going to lie and say I’m happy because I’m not. You have suffered so much at a young age, life hasn't been fair to you, and I hope that you get all the happiness in the world that you are seeking for," dad says and my heart melts at his words. "I am happy dad!" I walk to him and take both of his hands in mine."I appreciate you looking out for me. It makes me happy that you care but I promise I am happy. There is no person in this world that can make me happy like Tay does I promise," I say, and dad
OLIVIAI miss Tay terribly, but I promised dad that I will spend time with him which I regret now. He took me to a soccer game. I know nothing about soccer but the smile on his face prevents me from telling him. He took me to watch Pirates and Chief’s playing and so far, both teams haven't scored. From what I have heard both teams suck but people still support them. Talk about loyalty."Goal!" I snap my eyes from my phone to watch my dad screaming and Pirates celebrating. It is so weird watching him like this.Thirty minutes later, the match ends, and we walk out of the stadium."Where do you want to go?" He asks as we walk to his car."I am tired. I just want to go home if you don't mind?" I ask as I check the time on my phone."Of course," he says, and I get in the passenger seat. I don't have any missed calls from Tay. "Nora is happy that you are back, you should make time to visit her," Dad says as he drives me home. "I will but I am not back for good. Tay and I have decided to
OLIVIA"It's beautiful," I comment when we walk into our car. I still can't believe that he proposed! It feels so surreal.“Where are we going?”“You will see,”"Is Nate coming back for the wedding?" I ask. To be honest I miss him and his sweet jokes."Yeah, he called me in the morning that he is in Johannesburg," he informs me.We pull up in front of the club and we climb out.“What are we doing here?”“Patience.”We walk in and make our way to the VIP section.“Surprise!” I smile at the familiar faces.“Nate!” I hug him first.“Happy birthday sister-in-law!” he says handing me a glass and I don’t bother asking what it is. Future, Andrew, Jessica, Rachel are here, and this is the best way to celebrate a birthday, with family and friends.TAYOlivia is happy and I am happy but not with the fact that Nate is busy giving her glass after glass of booze.“Nate?” I warn.“Come on brother. Aren’t you curious drunk Olivia? Because I am!”“Fine.”Some song blasts through the ro
OLIVIAThe next morning, I wake up alone on the bed. I groan and roll off the bed to the bathroom and take a shower. I find Tay in the kitchen. He hands me a glass of water and a pill. I don’t ask and take it as my head hurts."What's wrong?" He asks, tucking my hair behind my ear."Don’t let me drink again." I rest my forehead on his chest, and he continues to hold me."Do you remember what you did last night?" He asks, with a smile."No! I want to go back to sleep," I run back upstairs.TAYMy phone rings as Olivia runs upstairs."Jess?" I answer."Hey, how is everything going?""What did you find out?""I honestly don't know what is true or what’s not, ""What do you mean?""It looks like this is deeper. I had to go back to Andrews's mother's case. Remember the half-brother he has that no one knows or has seen his face?" I nod but remember she cannot see me."Yes?""It's him but there is more,""I am listening,""When last did you see Chad Brown?" she asks, shocking me.
OLIVIATwo days have passed by as a blur since the incident at the club and I had back-to-back interviews. Everyone knows who wrote Behind Closed Doors and that the sequel is coming soon. I had to open an Instagram and Twitter page in Rachel's words. I got millions of followers within a week and that blew my mind away. A lot of DMs about how they love me and how much I have changed their lives. It is so crazy, and I had to help Future with her wedding. We managed to find a venue and she designed her wedding dress. It's so beautiful that she wants to open a boutique selling wedding dresses and this will be her big break into the industry. The venue is not big since Future wants a small intimate wedding with friends and family. We managed to get Sofia to agree to cater for the wedding under short notice. I have never worked under pressure in my entire life as I did two days ago. Tay and I have been so busy with our work, he comes back tired from work, and I am also tired from planning
TAYThe last time I was this scared was when I found my sister in her own pool of blood. I haven't said a word since I found the phone and blood on the floor. Many scenarios are running in my mind, and I don't know which one could be it, but what I am most scared about is Kyle. He is just a kid, innocent and now he is in the hands of a psychopath. I know Olivia is strong."How the hell did David escape? And how am I hearing this now?" I called one of the trusted cops and made sure the media was left out of it, and it turns out David escaped. He made the police believe that he was seriously sick, and they took him to the hospital yesterday where he escaped."We were going to tell you,” The detective I learned is Jessica's friend says. Shawn hasn't stopped pacing. He is trying to be strong, but I know he is hurting."Your negligence caused Kyle, a kid who has a heart problem and my wife to get kidnapped," I yell and grab the bottle of water from the coffee table and take a huge gul
OLIVIA"You fucked up my life," David says in my face."Because of your existence and the ability to attract men ruined my life!" He yells in anger at my face, and I flinch."I didn't ruin your life you psycho," I yell back with a pounding heart."You don't know how much I want to strangle you to death, but I was ordered not to touch a single hair on your body. The luck you have!" He chuckles and my heart sinks."You were ordered!"“By Chad?”“By his dick. Idiot.”Chad or Silas whatever the fuck his name is walks in."W... what the hell is this?" I demand and glare at him."I am going to tell you a story," he grabs a chair at the corner and sets it in front of me and sits down."There was this boy who loved his mother so much that he would do anything to see a smile on her face. He didn't have a father, you know why?" He looks at me."No, why?" I am not sure if I want to know the answer."Because he killed his own father. His father was a monster who used to beat the crap
OLIVIA"Open your eyes little one," Chad says to my face but I keep my eyes closed. He is a psychopath. How can he kill someone so easily! I have never in my life seen anyone die in front of me and what I just witnessed was pure horror! I don't know if I will ever get the image out of my mind."Open your eyes, Olivia?" I shake my head no while tears stream down my cheekbones. I am scared to open my eyes because then it will all be true that he killed David. A part of me hopes that it is all in my mind, that he didn't just put a bullet in David's skull right in front of my eyes. I feel a gun on my head and my breath hitches in my throat."Open your fucking eyes, Olivia?""Please don't shoot me!" I beg, my eyes still closed."I won't if you open your eyes," I slowly open my eyes to face the monster of every child's dream. David's body on the floor with blood around him. I feel like puking."Good girl!" He tucks my hair behind my ear."If only you returned my love for you, none of
