Hunted By The Past Episode 18
OLIVIA:“Don’t get in my way today.’’ I scoffed. “If you did your job right, I wouldn’t have too.’’ Galen bellowed. “I'm serious. There is no reason why today shouldn’t go easy. It’s the first day, the employee loyalties haven’t been divided. We can work together on this.” My husband remained silent for a minute during the drive. “I agree with this. This is what we have been preparing for.”“Wrong. It’s what you’ve been preparing for. I don’t need to be prepared for a damn thing, I’m naturally good at this.’’“Is that what you told yourself when you slept with almost half my friend group in highschool?’’ My eyes jerk towards him in an instance. “For the last FUCKING time, I did not sleep with your little football club.’’ “For a self righteous person always claiming to never do wrong, you disgust me, darling wife.’’ His words didn't carry the same weight they always did. Instead, I was fed up. “We’re almost there, How about you shut up for the rest of the ride.’’ I rolled my e

OLIVIA:“I can’t believe him!’’ I threw my purse on the sofa, as I slumped behind my desk, feeling angry and frustrated. “Mrs Grunt, Please…’’“Mrs Olivia,’’ I corrected him with a stern look, “My husband’s name doesn’t need to come in everytime someone addresses me.’’ Marco placed some papers on my desk. “And what’s this, Marco?’’ “It’s Marcus.’’ He corrected shyly.“That’s cute, but you look more like a marco, you know, like Marco Polo or Peter Pan.” I laughed slightly, while he smiled nervously. I had never had an assistant before, I wasn't handling this the way I was supposed to. “Did my husband pick the pink flowers?” I asked and to which he nodded. Galen knew how much I hated pink flowers. He did this to personally irritate me. “What about the overall arrangement and decor of this office? This is far different from what I sent in.”“I'm sorry, Mrs Grunt.. Sorry, I mean, Mrs Olivia. But Mr Grunt sent in a new arrangement plan last night and requested we ignore the first one.’

OLIVIA:In the flash of a second, Galen put himself between my father and I. I stared at him, feeling confused but a little relieved. My father was a man who was short tempered. He had a heavy hand, one which he never hesitated to use.“This is between my daughter and I!’’ He roared, “Get out of the way, Grunt!’’ “With all due respect, she is not just your daughter. She’s also my wife!’’ “Galen, I…"“I won’t listen to it!’’ my husband cut him off, “You’ve been nothing but terrible to Olivia back at home, I won’t allow you to bring that experience here as well.’’ A short moment of silence coupled with intense eye contact followed. I could tell what either of them were thinking. “Do you know what she did?’’ My father let out as he stepped back. “She lost us a major clientele. She slapped him.’’“Who?’’ “MacGuire&proprerties limited!’’ My husband turned to look back at me. He raised a brow, before turning back to my dad. “I understand, I’d like to speak to my wife now!’’“You’ve g

OLIVIA:I watched silently as he zipped up his pants, “that was amazing.’’ He let out with shallow breaths. Before I knew it, Galen walked over to me before proceeding to kiss me passionately. Suddenly, the door burst open, and we both turned.The door was rammed shut before I had a second to react. I pulled myself down from my table as I pushed my husband away.“What the hell is he doing here?’’ I had Galen reacting behind me, as I headed for the door. Ashern was standing right in the hallway, pacing around with a clenched fist. The minute he saw me, he started walking towards me with this angry expression on his face. “You didn't love him. What the hell are you kissing him?” He spoke angrily. “Kissing, you two were kissing?’’ My father was suddenly all over my face. He appeared out of nowhere, alongside my husband’s father.“Dad, please…’’ I let out. “Ashern, it’s none of your business what my husband and I…’’“Don’t give me that bullshit rehearsed answer.’’“Hey!’’ my father exc

GALEN’S POV“Galen.” Olivia called out to me, as she broke down. I walked slowly. Putting my hands up in surrender, as my eyes connected to the assailant’s. “Whatever is going on, we can talk about it.” I stated, slowly approaching him. I could tell that he was a white man, medium build, a little shorter than me but with a perfect grip of the pistol in his hands. He kept it steadily aimed at my wife who was now and was close to losing her mind. “You always think you can get away with ruining people’s lives.” He rumbles. “I don't know what you're talking about!”“THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!’’ His anger rose. “ Erything is falling apart because of you… because you cannot keep it in your pants!’’My brows furrow as I step forward. He moves his foot instinctively backwards but his gun remains aimed at Olivia. My heart was beating at such a fast rate that I thought I would fall and die. I didn't want Olivia to get hurt. she was still nursing the injury of her previous gunshot wound while

Galen’s POV“Again, thank you so much for coming, Richard.” I shook his hand again, before leading him into the conference room. I noticed his hesitance but I smiled politely. “You have to understand why my company will not conduct business with you, Galen. It's nothing personal, but we do not take lightly the disrespect that your wife showed me.”“I completely understand, Richard and that's why I have invited you here to personally apologize for it. please sit down.” He settled into the seat across from me. I pushed my files out of my face before staring directly at him. "Richard, we are friends, right?" I asked and he shook his head. "But friendship cannot get in the way of business.""I completely understand. I'm just hoping that for the sake of our friendship, we can put this Petty argument away and do business like we planned to.""I am a reasonable man, Galen, but I do not take disrespect lightly. What your wife did was..”“Despicable.” I finished the sentence. “She is sorry

Olivia’ pov“We have decided that you should get a divorce.”My husband and I got up from our seats so abruptly that I felt dizzy. “Divorce?” Galen and I asked in a panicked voice. “Yes.”“Where is this coming from?’’"You two have been acting like idiots and we can't take it anymore. You are changing the reputation of the company and investors have been pulling out already.”“What investors?’’ Galen asked his father. “They do not believe in your abilities to lead the company right. They are judging you by how you treat your home. If you cannot be loyal and faithful to your wife, then they don't expect you to be loyal to the company.” Galen was dumbfounded, his shoulders fell as he looked back at me. His eyes watered. He was broken and I knew he had no other way to defend himself. “Galen has already been trying his best. I don't understand where this is coming from. This company means the world to us, and we're going to take it to Great lengths but you have to let us do it our wa

Olivia’s POV"Jessie, I swear… if you don't pick up I'm going to come over there and eat all your food!" I threatened with a clenched fist, feeling frustrated and tired. Jesse had not been picking my calls over the last 2 days. I had sent one of my men over to check up on her but her apartment was empty. I missed her and I was frankly a little worried about her.There was a knock on the door, pulling me out of my train of thoughts. "Come in." I say, as I forced a smile on my face. "Galen?" I can't even hide the surprise in my voice. "I just need you to sign these documents.""You couldn't use your secretary for that?""Well, the guys out there have been looming and watching us the past 2 days. The more time we spend together in private, the more they believe that we are madly in love with each other.""No no, Galen. They're going to think that we're having sex.""That's not such a bad idea. Is it?" He laughed, trying to ease the tension but my eyes remained fixed on him. It had bee

OLIVIA’S POVI felt like a spy stuck in a lousy detective movie. Mrs. Grunt had pulled some strings and got us the CCTV recordings from 2 hours ago from the pub across the street. We managed to pull some strings and get ahold of the street light cameras too. "Whoever the intruder was, they were very keen to hide their face. None of these cameras captured him. He kept the hoodie on and he angled his face away from the camera, not even the shadow of the street light caught a percentage of his face. He’s almost a professional at being a ghost.’’ my mother-in-law and I stared at each other, then back at the screen in front of us. "Shouldn’t we go to the police with this evidence?’’"We should but they might end up turning this against Galen?’’ she sighed. "None of the detectives are going to understand that Galen is being blackmailed, they will simply assume that he is in partnership with the killer.’’“But what are we going to do?’’ I tried to hide my panic."We need to take care of t

OLIVIA’S POV"I care about you. I love you.’’ I blurted out!Are you kidding me right now?’’ he laughed, "you’re a fucking joke, Liv!’’Pain flashed across my face as I looked at him. “What? What do you mean?’’ I asked him, looking up at him, teary eyed. “You put yourself in danger despite me telling you not to. You disrespect me everyday and you throw yourself at Ashern every chance you get.’’“Ashern..? Is that why you’re saying these things.’’“It's not just him, Liv. For fucks sake, you slept with half the football team in high school, you have always been an insensitive prick, and a whore!’’ I slapped him so hard that I felt the stinging pain in my own hand. He looked at me, anger flashed his features before he began walking back. I watched as he squeezed himself into the tiny entrance, and I followed. We were back in the mansion before I knew it. I watched as he took off his clothes. I knew he was angry but I couldn't understand why. “We have tried to get on the same page ev

GALEN'S POVFlashback:Back in highschool,5 years ago….“Come on man, if you don’t get in, everyone is going to think you’re lame.’’ Ashern laughed as he playfully hit my arm. “But I love her. I just don't understand why they cannot change the pact. There are other things they can dare me to do, but this. This is Olivia, man, and I haven't felt this way about another girl before.”“Listen to me, Galen, joining the fraternity is the best decision you can ever make. It will rise your status.’’“I don’t care about status,’’ I argued. “Well you should,’’ he put a hand on my shoulder. “You’re already getting bullied and beaten up. How many more times do I need to come to your rescue?’’ I paused, my shoulder dropped. “You don’t understand. I can take the bullying, but I can’t take losing Olivia.’’ “Listen man, she’s not worth it.’’“Don't fucking say that! You and I both care about Olivia. She’s also your best friend but she means the world to me.’’ “You can find another girl whenever

EPISODE 28Galen’s POV“They did what?!’’ The phone against my ear felt heavy as I struggled to listen. “You have to get down here. They won't listen to me. They’re questioning me.’’ “I'm coming.’’ I hung up the phone before picking up my car keys. My father was already running behind me, calling out my name. “I don't understand what they're doing but I'm not going to let them.’’“I’ll go with you.’’ father said as we both entered the car. This whole thing was a roller coaster on a downward slope. …OLIVIA’ POV“You already asked me that question.” I Shrugged. “And you're not giving me the answer I want to hear.”“Well, I'm sorry detective, but you're not going to bully me into taking responsibility for a murder I did not commit. Jessie was my best friend and I loved her.”“But you were jealous of her, weren’t you?’’“What?!’’ I was shocked. “Come on, Miss Olivia... We are both adults here, and you may have the whole world fooled but I can see through you and your husband's act.

OLIVIA’S POV“Is the room to your liking?’’ “It’s fine.’’ I threw the suitcase on the floor and my phone on the bed. “I’ve had another bed made. Once it’s ready, it’ll be moved into our room once the investigation is cleared and the crime scene taken care of.’’“Do you not see what’s wrong with that?’’ I snapped. “Someone just got killed, Galen. My best friend was murdered and you’re already talking about replacing the bed and moving back into that room…? What is the matter with you?’’ He remained silent. He looked at me and I felt sorry for him. He didn't deserve that. and I couldn't stop myself.“I'm sorry.”“It's ok.” He let out. “I know what you're going through.” “No, you don't. It feels like someone ripped my heart out.” I cried out, feeling defeated. He stood there like a statue, not knowing what to do or how to go about it. I felt drained and mentally exhausted.“If you need anything, I'm right here.’’ Galen said, smiling warmly. “I need some space. I'm going to shower a

Galen’s Pov“Take some water baby.” I handed Olivia a glass of water as I tapped her shoulder. She was freaking out. She could barely keep her breathing steady and I had to call her name a couple of times before she even heard me. I have never seen her scared and this anxious. I kissed the top of her head as I handed her the glass of water. She took a sip of it but then ended up pushing it away. “Take it easy. Calm down.” I sat beside her on the sofa, as I pulled her into my arms. She didn't resist me. Instead, she collapsed on my chest and started crying. Her muffles of pain made me feel so sorry for her. “Who could have done this?’’ She cried. “Why would someone do this?The questions I had in my mind were more than a thousand. I looked up only to meet Richard's eyes. He was still standing at the entrance of the bedroom, talking to the detectives today. Olivia's scream not only attracted me but all our parents. My parents lived in the North lawn of the mansion, while Olivia's p
