Olivia's POV

All through the ride my phone kept on ringing, I knew who was calling without looking at the phone.

I knew Derick will probably be angry with me, or he might be calling to warn me to hide for a while. I closed my eyes and felt hot tears running down the cheek. I quickly wipe the tears away from my eyes with the back of my hand before the taxi driver will notice it.

“We are here “.the taxi driver words brought me out from my thoughts.

I opened my bag and paid him .the taxi driver gave me a worried look before driving away.

I hissed in relief when I noticed I was standing in front of Rona's mansion.

Furthermore, I moved closer to the gate and was about to ring the bell when suddenly the gate opened widely.

“Come in”.a strong but rough voice spoke up, 

I felt my legs shake as I walk through the gate.

“Hey “. Someone called from behind. I turned around and saw a familiar face standing before me .he stared at me but did not say a word, 

“Is Rona in “. I asked,

“He is in a meeting “.he replied quickly.

“Can you let him know Olivia is here to see him “? I asked, 

“He is really busy at the moment”.he replied firmly, 

“Then I will wait here “.

He stared at me for a moment before moving toward the front door, 

“Follow me “.he shouted. Immediately I knew he was talking to me. I quickly followed him and we we went inside When we got to the sitting room he asked me to sit and wait for him. He gave me another look before leaving the sitting room. I relaxed on the chair, but my hands were still trembling.

“Give me the full details”. I told one of my business associates over the video.

He was about speaking up when Mike walked in .he wanted to speak, but I signaled him to leave. I went back to the video and concentrated on the meeting.

I looked up and noticed Mike was still standing at the door. I raised a bow at him, but he did not say a word.

“Give me a minute “. I told my partner over the phone.

“What is so important that you have to interrupt my meeting”. I asked in an irritated voice.

“She's here “. Mike spoke in a calm voice. I stared at him confused, and he noticed it.

“You should know who am I talking about “.he replied quickly. I stared at him and only one person came to my mind, 

“Little bird “. I whisper

“If that is what you call her, yes, and she is not looking good ".he spoke up 

“What is wrong with her” I spoke angrily while standing up from the chair 

“Have no idea”.he replied.

“End the meeting”. I told Mike while rushing out of the room.

I felt scared and out of breath. I rushed to the sitting and found Olivia lost in her thought. I took a better look at her and noticed her hands and knees were trembling. I felt anger run down my blood and I only wish death for whoever made her feel this way.

“Little bird “. I called her while standing at the door. Immediately she flipped when

she saw and instantly ran up to me and hugged me life her life depends on it,

I hugged her tighter and felt how she shiver under my touch 

“What happened little bird “. I asked while caressing her hair .she just sniffles and kept quiet. I hissed in frustration and carried her bridal style to my room, she melts in my arms and just buried her face in my chest.

When we got to my room I sat on the bed and placed her on my leg .she made a soft sign before relaxing on me

“Do you want to talk about it “. I asked calmly while caressing her hair.

She was silent for a while before speaking up, 

“He will kill me “.she spoke in a broken whisper.

“Who”. I asked trying to hide the anger in my voice 

“Derrick's father”.she whispered.

For a moment, I froze and thought of what she could have done to anger him and why isn't Derick aware of it.

I held her tighter in a comforting way and kissed her check

“No one will dare touch what his mine”.the word came as a threat 

She shivers under me before relaxing 

I ran my fingers in her hair gently and spoke gently

“What did you do little bird “. I asked, 

“I slapped him “.she whispered.

I couldn't hold my laugh when I heard her say those words. I chuckled softly and kissed her cheek again.

“So you are this brave, huh”. I asked in a teasing voice.

She hissed softly but did not say a word.

“What did he do to you “. I asked in a calm voice.

She hesitates for a while before speaking up, 

“He called me a slut “.she spoke calmly, but I could notice the anger in her voice.

I felt angry, but did not want her to notice it.

I lifted her chin up and made I look directly at me. I stare in her eyes and notice it was red from all the crying she did. I felt my heart clench the moment I lock eyes with her, I gently held her cheek and kissed it one more time.

“No one will touch you, and that's a promise”. I said those words in a serious tune .she stared at me for a moment as she moved closer to me and kissed me on the lips.

The kiss was soft and gentle, but before I could react to it, so pulled away.

I hissed in frustration and held her tighter. She noticed my frustration and chuckled softly

“You think this is funny huh”. I pretended to be angry .she looked away, but I could still notice she was smiling.

I was about saying something when her phone starts ringing .she ignored the phone and looked away, 

“Won't you pick that”. I asked,

“No need, I know who is calling “.

“Derick”. I asked, 

She nods her head in approval.

I felt jealousy and anger in me but held it back, 

“You haven't told me how you met Derick dad”. I spoke up

She looked at me and I noticed she was scared of telling me how she met him because she knew I would be angry

“Tell me “. I demanded, 

Can we let it slide “.she pleaded

“No “. I spoke angrily.

She flipped on hearing my voice and looked away.

I stood up from the bed and let her seat on it. I watch how she nervously twisted her fingers and kept staring at the floor.

It was obvious she knew I wouldn't like what she will say. I took a deep breath before speaking up, 

“Start talking little bird”.the word came as a command.
