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
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.
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
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
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‘'Fuck me! Harder… harder, Galen!’' Cursed grunts and broken gasps filled the hallway. I stood against the door as I listened.‘'Please… deeper.’' A feminine voice cried out. My brows furrowed. What's going on?I had only just finished my bridal makeup. My wedding dress was waiting for me inside my room and I had very little time to waste around. The moans and screams of pleasure became louder and intense. I barged in. The scene in front of me was enough to bring me a heart attack. In our own matrimonial bed, was none other than Galen, entangled in the sheets with a naked woman. His cock plunged into her pussy as her legs were shamelessly wrapped around his waist. "Olivia," Galen grunted with an eyeroll, barely moving a muscle. His eyes connected with mine as a satisfactory look was plastered on his face. "We're getting married in an hour, you bastard!" I shouted, my fists clenched as I walked towards them. The woman under him buried her face in his chest shyly, yet con
OLIVIAI woke up in an empty bed, feeling my skin cold as the sheets dripped at the bottom of my feet. I sat up, as I rubbed my eyes and looked around the room. Suddenly, I heard the bathroom door creak open and there he was - my husband. The man I hated most in the entire world. "Hey, sleepyhead." he smiled as he emerged from the bathroom in nothing but a towel. I stepped down from the bed, feeling irritated. "We've got company waiting for us downstairs." I shot him an impatient look as he began to move faster, ignoring my discontent. Time was of the essence and I already knew those waiting for us downstairs. "Can you at least finish getting dressed so I can hop in the shower?""What's wrong? It's nothing I haven't seen before." he smirked. "It's not anything you'll ever see ever again." I countered, as I stared at him. He rolled his eyes, ignoring me. He got dressed rather quickly as I busied myself checking emails on my phone. I hated sharing a room with him. "Do you know wh
OLIVIAThe second we were behind closed doors, the entire atmosphere became thick."How dare you?!" he spoke with a high tone as he approached me. "Why did you embarrass me back there?" I looked up at him. ‘'What do you mean? I was just as embarrassed as you are.’'‘'Cut the crap! You knew exactly what you were doing. You both did.'’ he shouted." Tell me something, is this some sick joke you both cooked up to humiliate me on National TV?'’ My eyes widened, as I stared at him. "I don't know what you're talking about."I walk towards the bed as I begin to take off my shoes. "He insulted our marriage, and you had the nerve to flirt with him?""Flirt with him? I did no such thing.’'"Don't play me for a fool Olivia. I saw the way you looked at him. The way you let him touch you.""You're crazy!""Are you planning to sleep with him again?" I stopped in my tracks. A sense of dread washed over me as the memory set in. I felt a tear almost sliding down but I held my ground. "I don't care
