Hunted By The Past Episode 10
OLIVIA:Galen spoke in grunts, scoffs, and angry glances. Surprisingly, I had expected this to be my new peace. Yet it turned out the opposite. I wanted things to go back to normal. Even if it meant we would be fighting every now and then. Right now, my husband avoids any argument and barely speaks to me. He was mad at me and I understood that. But I also had a right to be angry at him for what he had done. “They are calling us downstairs.” Galen said, as he stood across our bedroom door. I shook my head as I followed him behind. A feeling of déjà vu sets within me as we walked down the stairs and found both our families waiting for us. “It's started.” my mother said with a disapproving look. Galen and I settled into the sofa while our families threw ugly glances at us. A news bulletin popped up on National TV in the gossip sector. Almost everyone in the country subscribed to this. On the TV was an image of my husband punching Ashern. Just the headlines. It was like a comedy

Carlos had told me where the other girls were, and he had also feed me in on what we were expected to do today and the schedule. It has helped immensely. Even though he didn't tell it with such an easy heart and he told me that I was wasting his time and acting stupid, I still appreciated that I got the information instead of getting into trouble again. I noticed the girls' behavior changing as I approached them. I know that they didn't like me, and I wanted with all my heart to fit in with them. “May I please join you?’’ I say, addressing Cecilia since she seems to be there making all the decisions. “Why would you want to join us? Isn't being a slave a disgrace?’’ All the girls stared at me, and I didn't know how to respond. Why would I want to be a slave? What was wrong and inhumane. But it was obvious that the more I argued about this, the more it would get me in trouble. If I wanted to survive here, then I needed the girls. I needed to know what was happening and what I was s

OLIVIA:Jessie has been a great help. I don't know what I'd do without her. However, right now, even as the media crew wheels their equipment into our house, there is a standoff between Ashern and my husband. They've stopped fighting, but that doesn't mean everything is fine. “Is he telling the truth?” Galen asks, his eyes still on Ashern, "did you really sleep with most of my friends?"“He's lying, he's always lying.”“What do I have to gain by lying about this, Olivia?” Ashern shot up.“Destroying this marriage. Revenge because Galen punched you. Your pride and ego. This is just a few.”“The interview is ready.” Jessie comes up to me, breaking my concentration. I looked at Galen, who was still staring at me like I was a whole different person. “Let's go.” He spoke, and I followed behind him without another word. It felt like I was walking on eggshells. The interview commenced in no time, and it was finally time to put up the act and save this fake marriage. “So Galen, how's marr

GALEN:“You were sleeping with her!” Olivia announced, as she slammed the door shut. “What! What are you talking about?’’“You know exactly what I'm talking about. You slept with Jessie. That’s why she’s always disappearing when we’re talking and coming back all sweaty.’’ The pain behind her eyes was evident. "Are you fucking serious? That's what you want to talk about?""Don't deny it, Galen.""I'm not going to fucking deny. She is 100 times a better woman than you can ever be. She's not a slut like you are.” Olivia gasped. I saw the tears for me in her eyes as she stepped back. She looked at me as if I had grown two heads. “What did you just say?”“You heard me. What went on back there was my worst nightmare. You didn't only sleep with Ashern. It was almost everyone else. You had the guts to stand here and judge me?”“What? G..Galen..” she let out in between tears. “I now know what you did, Olivia, and I don't regret leaving you five years ago. You do not deserve to be loved.

Galen’s POV“Oh my God!’’ Mrs Montey exclaimed, “Drive faster, you idiot!" The tone, and the choice of words, didn’t seem to faze her husband, my wife’s father. I, on the other hand, was surrounded by chaos. My wife laid unconscious in my arms, my heart beating faster. I felt like I was going to die. I have never felt pain like this before. “Please hurry!’’ I begged, and Mr. Montey stepped on it. “This is all your fault!’’ Liv’s mother cried out, looking back at me from the front seat. “You’ve gotten my daughter killed!’’“Shut up, you bitch! She’s going to be fine! She’s not dead. She can’t be.’’ It was the first time that I saw Olivia’s parents become this hostile with each other. “Don’t talk to me like that!’ Mrs Montey shouted, but all my focus was on Olivia. All the yelling died down in my head, and the only person I could focus on was my wife. I kept my hand pressed down on the wound in her chest, I held a piece of cloth on it, and put as much pressure as possible. I knew m

Galen’s POV“Mr Galen Grunt, is it true that you’re a lying piece of shit?’’ A mic was pushed in front of my face as everyone stared at me. Cameras clicked as I looked at them, feeling like a deer caught in headlights. “Please, this is a sensitive moment for my family and I..’’ “Your wife was two weeks pregnant for you when you decided to cheat on her. Then you fabricated photos between her and your ex best friend.’’ My father touched my shoulder, trying to pull me away.“What? I didn’t do that.’’ I defended myself. “I knew nothing about those photos until today.’’“But you cheated on her with not one, but three women in just a span of the two weeks you have been married.’’ I looked at everyone, trying to find my words but failing miserably. “What are you talking about?’’ I asked, but they were all staring at me like I had all the answers. “Isn’t it obvious?’’ A feminine voice sounded, as I turned. “Jessie.’’ I shook my head as she walked up to me. “Please don’t.”“My name is Je

GALEN:“You can’t do this,’’ I stepped forward. “I think we just did. My wife and I support Olivia’s decision. You are a horrible husband and getting away from you is what’s best for her.’’I looked back at my father, who had already excused himself to make some phone calls. “I want to speak to her myself.’’ “No!’’ His voice was high and firm. “You’ve already caused enough damage.’’ “Guards!’’ I called out for my security detail, who came running in the next second. “How do you want to do this, Michael?’’ I challenged him, “My guards are going to pull you away from that door at my command. But it doesn’t have to go that way.’’ A couple of nurses were already ogling at us. I didn’t like making a scene. But I needed to see my wife, and I was prepared to do it whatever means necessary. My father in law signaled for his men to step aside, and to which they obliged. Olivia's family and mine were united in business and in marriage. However, there was this minimal rivalry between us.

Olivia’s POV“Girl, you should have seen his face.’’ Jessie laughed, “I’ve never seen that man more shocked and embarrassed.’’“Come on, it had to be done. This was for the betterment of both companies.’’“And I'm not petitioning against that; I’m just saying it doesn’t hurt to enjoy his suffering.’’ “I know.’’ I shrugged, as I folded my dress. “But I have been where he is right now - it's not a pretty feeling.’’ “The difference between you two is that you didn’t fuck someone else just for the fun of it. He can barely keep it in his pants.” Jessie spoke, and I saw her point. “Glad to see he’s never changed.’’ “And he’s not going to either. The same fuck boy he was five years ago still lives on.’’ She shrugged, “It’s a shame that even this marriage couldn’t tame that part of him.’’ “Come on, Jessie,’’ I chuckled, “A marriage can’t stop him any more than chains to his legs can. My husband is a dog, heck, he fucked a woman in our bed one hour before our marriage just to get back at

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

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’ 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

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
