Chapter 50

"Gonzales?" Olivia repeated staring at Damien. She had taken a big risk leaving Travis apartment and coming here to see Damien. Over the course of staying with Travis she had figured out ways of leaving the house by paying one of the maids to sneak her out, sometimes she would go to the mall to get ice cream and just sit and enjoy the view, other times she went window shopping as she could buy anything when clearly Travis always bought everything she needed without blinking an eye.

It wasn't that she wanted to buy anything but just the idea of being outside and not being confide to that room was something she enjoyed doing but today she wished she had locked herself inside the room inside because what was this nonsense Damien was saying about some Gonzales man.

"He is Dawn's biological father."

"I heard that already, i am only confused because you told me clearly that it was urgent and it involved me," Olivia replied. When she had gotten the call she didn't know what it was all about but the fact that it involved her she wanted to know and now this nonsense.

Damien had decided to reach out to Olivia because he knew how close Olivia was to Dawn, If he couldn't get to Dawn maybe Olivia could but it seemed he had made a mistake because Olivia seemed un bothered right now. He thought she would have put her differences aside by now but it seemed she hadn't.

"It seemed i have made a mistake calling you."

"The mistake was mentioning Dawn's name."

"She is your sister."

"So because she is my sister, i shouldn't have a life of my own right?"

"That isn't what i mean and you know that, i am only looking out for Dawn."

"I took a big risk coming out here today,"

"What are you talking about? You could clearly just leave him but it seems you are hooked on him already."

"You know what i am done here," Olivia snapped. What did he mean by she was hooked here? the truth was maybe she was hooked but what was his business. She had enough money to leave the country and go into hiding if she wanted but she didn't want to because a part of her know that Travis would definitely find her one way or the other and when he does she wondered what her punishment would be then.

"I will never be able to vouch for you," Olivia heard a voice behind her and from the look on Damien's face she could clearly tell who it was. 

Holy cows.

"Don't tell me you are now shy to look me in the face, my love," she heard Travis say as he placed his hand on her shoulder and placed a peck on her lips. Damien understanding the situation rised to his feet.

"I will also appreciate it if i do not see you with my woman again," Travis warned with a smile that didn't reach his face. " I wouldn't want to kill you before Stephan does."

"You wish," Damien hissed leaving them alone. 

"Now where were we my love," Travis muttered into her ear then raised his head still standing behind her. "I give you the opportunity to sneak out when you want and you misuse it."

Permission? Olivia pondered was he aware of her sneaking in and out of the house. How long had he known about it and how stupid was she to think that he wouldn't eventually find out. She shivered under his touch lost for words to defend herself.

"I... am ... sorry," Olivia stuttered shivering under his touch as Travis circled around to stare at her in the face. He took his seat opposite her smiling at her but Olivia could tell the smile didn't reach his face.

She wondered who informed him that she was here because clearly she had not told anyone about it, even if he was aware of her sneaking out how did he know she was here in this restaurant.

She looked at the table avoiding his eyes, but why was she being terrified. She had every right to be outside. Being confide in that house was killing and she wasn't sure she could continue to endure it further.

So what, she apologizes and then Travis would send her back to that house. Hell no, that wouldn't be proper.

"Olivia, you are a very stubborn woman," Travis informed her staring at her. He had been informed by his maid of the very first day she had requested that the maid help her sneak out.

"Sir she was asking me and I didn't know what to do about it," the maid said.

"What exactly was she saying? Does she want to escape or what?"

"No, she said she just wants to get some fresh air."

"Fresh air."

"Yes Sir."

"Help her sneak out."

"What?" 

"You heard me, help her sneak out and inside the house."

Travis knew if he didn't do that Olivia would find other means to achieve her aim, he wanted to be able to keep an eyes on her. So every time she sneaked out of the house, the maid would inform him and he would call his bodyguards to keep watch on her. 

"Follow her to wherever and keep me updated."

He had been fine with her movement so far but to meet up with Damien, what was she thinking? The last meeting she had with Damien had nearly cost Dawn her life. He knew Olivia was no good but he was trying to believe that she wanted to change or would change but it seemed like she wasn't planning on changing anytime soon.

The only thing he knew was that she wasn't in communication with Dawn and just wanted her own space, his major concern of everything was his baby. Now that he was staring at her he could see her stomach getting bigger than last month and even her face was getting fatter.

He had instructed his maids to take all the mirrors in her room away because he feared she would have a panic attack by barely staring at herself in the mirror.

"I am sorry but I can't keep doing this," Olivia said still staring at the table.

"Doing what?"

"..."

"Disobeying me? Or is it lying to me?"

"Lying? You are the one who is spying on me and acting like some psychopath."

"And who is making me act this way if not you, if you don't as much care about yourself can you at least be concerned about our child."

"Your child?" Olivia replied offended by the word. She clearly didn't want this child but Travis was the one trying all means to make sure she delivered this baby. She couldn't wait to give birth to the little brat and hand it over to Travis.

"You are not going to ever change from being..."

"You need to stop talking about me changing and all that, I am only having your child. I am not your wife." Olivia said finally looking at him in the eyes. She was fed up of his constant nagging about her changing, what was she changing again? 

"That's true," Travis admitted looking around the restaurant deep in thought then back at Olivia. "You are right about everything and I think it's best I get you a place of your own."

"Better."

"I will move your things to the building immediately we get home," Travis continued.

Was this really happening Olivia beamed inside but she was so happy it was starting to show on her face and she was sure Travis could tell. She had been waiting for this day for so long, she thought she would have to wait till she gave birth but it seemed Travis was fed up already.

If she knew that all she had to do was offend him, she would have done that a long time ago without a second thought. 

"And finance? How will I cope?"

"I will send money to your account."

The good side about the pregnancy was the fact that getting money from Travis wasn't that hard for her, now that she was going to be away from him she couldn't wait to start socializing and partying if possible. 

With Travis money she would also be able to show off while she was at it, she smiled at the thought of it.

"And you will also give me some security personnel right? I mean to keep your baby safe."

"Ofcourse."

"Sir, Miss Dawn is here to see you," A maid informed Stephan as he rose from his office seat and followed the maid to the living room. He stared at Dawn who seemed to be talking to Sarah, he hadn't expect her to follow Sarah home.

When the two women felt his presence, Sarah stared at him and excused them.

"If this is about the money I will not be collecting it back."

"I and Damien are not together," Dawn replied not knowing how to go about the conversation. She knew Stephan was mad as hell but over the years he had learned how to have this blank expression on his face but when she had been with Stephan she had begun to understand that it wasn't who he really was. 

Yes he was ruthless but it wasn't by choice, it was his situation that had made he what he was now. 

"And why are you saying this to me?"

"Because I know you are mad at me, I would never..."

"You are an independent woman, whatever you deem fit to do with your life is your choice."

"Is it because of the baby? Is that why you are treating me this way?"

Stephan had experienced a lot of cheating from his past catch but he never prolonged the issues but in Dawn's case he was some what affected by what he had saw, the way Damien had held her and placed his lips on her annoyed him.

"With or without the baby our contract would have come to an end eventually," Stephan informed her which was true.

"Are we back at this contract?"

"You have always wanted out of it, haven't you?"

"I would never hurt you, you know how I feel about Damien, he was only trying to tell me something about my father," Dawn explained.

"Of course he was."

"He was saying something about my father not being my father and he even..."

"I do not care about what the both of you have been discussing."

"We only met today."

"And how am I sure about that?" He had his men keeping watch on her and he knew fully well that she had not been with Damien but he didn't know why the words coming out of his mouth were sounding this way.

"Why are you treating me this way?"

"If you keep repeating that I might think you have lost it finally," Stephan warned. "All I have done is give you your space and I can see you are using it well."

"..."

"If that is all, I will love to get back to my work."

"I thought you..."

"You thought what? That I will take you in my arms and give you a warm embrace for disobeying me when clearly I told you never to see that man."

"You act like you are not mad at me but you are," Dawn said holding his hand in hers. "For once admit it to me, that you care about me and this child."

"I care about you."

Dawn stared at him knowing that the tone he had said that in wasn't the way she wanted it to sound and the sudden answer didn't sit well with her.

"I mean that you care about me more."

"More?"

"That you love me? Do you love me Stephan?"
