Chapter 63_ Trauma
Olivia took a step back when he took a step forward to her, his hawk like eyes pinned on her like she was his prey..
“What do you want? I believe whatever deal we had a while ago has been finalized, what are you doing here Mr Jones?”
Jones stepped into the room and slammed the door shut which caused a weird reaction from Olivia, a hazy image flashed past her orbs..
“I spotted your boss leaving a while ago, and I came here to search for the lady who caught my attention in one blink”
Olivia docked away from him when he tried to reach out to her chin..
“Get out now! or I’ll call the security on you!”
Sh*t! where were Damien’s guards when you needed them? they were all bunch of lazy dummies..
Jones devilish grin widened, he suddenly grabbed Olivia by her hand and pulled her to himself only to receive a slap in return..
His eyes blazed in anger, he harshly pushed her to the bed and hovered over her..
“You little b*tch! trying to act all smart with me”
He pulled off his suit jacket in a flash and leaned down to her face to receive yet another slap from her..
She kicked, pinched, scratched and did everything that came to her mind, her eyes were bloodshot as images from that night played in her head..
Jones took hold of her hands and pinned them above her head with a sly grin..
“You’re making me more excited baby.. just relax, I’ll be gentle”
“Let me go you dummy!”
She screamed out turning her head from side to side, he placed a palm above her mouth to keep her shut..
Luckily for her, the door opened..
She bit into his palm which he retracted examining it, he raised his hand in an attempt to strike her across her face, only for his hand to be caught on air..
He turned around to meet the burning grey orbs that glared knives and daggers at him..
“You-
A punch was sent to his face by Damien, who was visibly shaking in anger, he pulled the latter off Olivia and threw him across the room..
Olivia sat up panting heavily, she touched her forehead as fast images started flashing past her eyes..
Jones groaned on the cold ground wiping the blood off the corner of his lips, he took a glance up at Damien who towered over him with his phone raised to his ear..
“Get over here this minute!” He barked..
Jones stood up to his feet staggering a bit, he pointed a finger at Damien..
“You hit me because of her?”
Damien sent a kick to the latter’s guts, he hated to see him still standing straight, he should have broken a bone or two for laying his eyes and hands on his woman..
Four of Damien’s men all strode into the room and stood beside their boss..
“Take him away.. and make sure you deal with him so badly that it will leave a permanent scar in his mind!”
The men in black seized Jones and pulled him like some criminal..
“And lastly whatever deal we have is off!” Damien added and watched them leave the room, his gaze diverted back to Olivia who was gasping continuously….
“Olivia!” He rushed to her side and almost immediately she wrapped her hands around him sobbing gently..

Anita heard the door opening, she sinked back on the bed with the duvet over her face, the other side of the bed sank making her cease her gentle sobs..
Aldrin stared at her figure with a frown on his face..
“You-
She suddenly sat up startling Aldrin a bit, her eyes were a bit red from crying..
“I know… you probably hate me and probably want nothing to do with me again, you’re disappointed in me.. see why I never wanted to tell you anything? but it’s okay I’m ready to bear the consequences” She murmured in between sobs and at the same time stretching forth her hands for him to cuff them..
Aldrin arched a brow, he inched closer to the bed and pulled his dramatic wife into his arms shocking her..
“You silly woman.. you’ve actually forgotten that you’re a grown up, not that same twenty year old who throws her tantrums here and there”
Anita pulled away gently from him, she wiped her tears with the back of her palm peering at him confusedly.. wasn’t he mad at her? she had kept the truth from him for a long time now, he should be upset right?
“You’re not mad at me?”
Aldrin chuckled “Of course i was a bit mad.. but look on the bright side, I got you as a wife.. that’s the best thing that could ever happen to me.. even if you can be a little dramatic and jealous-
Anita threw herself back into his arms cutting him off his speech, she sniffed back with a small smile..
“I’m really sorry Aldrin, I had to do that to get married to you”
Aldrin patted her back gently, like he had said before, he wouldn’t trade his wife for anything, he was a little bit upset that his wife and dad kept this away from him..
Now he felt really awkward for him to face Bruce and Tracy after discovering the truth they’ve been hiding from him..Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“I’m happy that you went extra miles to get me.. it showed how charming I was back then for you to pull off that stunt”
Anita pulled away from him and threw a light punch at his chest..
“Don’t flatter yourself so much, I really wasn’t that into you”
Aldrin nodded his head “Fine then! I guess Tracy might be interested-
To his amazement, his back touched the bed the next minute..
“Hold on a second Mr Aldrin Sterling! I’m not done with you yet, so she doesn’t stand a chance”
***
Damien was left confused on what to do, it’s been over twenty minutes and Olivia was still clutching onto him fidgeting..
“Calm down Olivia” he whispered gently which she surprisingly adhered to..
He pulled her away gently to look at her face “Did he do something to you?”
Olivia shook her head gently, she threw herself back into his arms almost squishing the life out of him..
His brows collided, on a normal day, Olivia wouldn’t come this close to him or even make an attempt to, which meant that something was wrong with her..
He stroked her hair gently trying to calm her down of whatever was wrong with her..
***
Damien had no idea of how many hours he had spent coaxing Olivia till she fell asleep in his arms, he gently lay her back down on the bed and pulled the duvet over her body..
He left her side and walked away from the room to the balcony where the soothing breeze brushed his face gently..
He raised his phone to his ear after sometime of contemplation..
“Hello Mrs Parker”
Sandy pulled off the cucumber from her eyes when she heard Damien’s voice at the other end..
“Oh it’s you Damien!” she exclaimed in excitement for the others to get up also..
Bianca and her mum pulled off their sliced cucumbers from their eyes, they all had a white face mask on their face basking in the moonlight right in front of their porch..
They rushed to Sandy’s side trying to hear what Damien was saying to her.
Sandy’s gaze fell a bit, she exhaled deeply when she heard what he just said..
“Yes dear.. I’m afraid this is the trauma Olivia had faced after that night between you both..”
Damien glanced briefly at Olivia who was sound asleep on the bed, he said a few more words to the older woman and disconnected the call afterwards..
He walked back to the bed with a small smile on his face, he reached his hand to her face pushing all loosed strands falling on her face behind her ear..
“I’m the reason.. you had to drop out of school, and also the reason you got pregnant at an early age, you faced so many criticism all by yourself at such a young age.. I promise to correct all my mistakes” He whispered softly watching her sleeping face intently with a smile at the corner of his lips..
