VII

Oliver was tired and stressed from work. it was as if everyone in his office chose today as a day for making silly mistakes, he promised his friend/ unlicensed therapist Jack that he is not going to fire anyone this week, but it is just as if they are all testing his patience. after hours of not firing anyone, Oliver got home hoping to have a warm bath only to see Angie being Angie. God knows his patience has worn thin already, he has no patience left.

you annoying little slut said Angie as she raised her hands to slap Izzy. Oliver got there just in time to catch the hand before it could touch Izzy's face.

let go of me, let me teach her a lesson said Angie trying to wiggle her hand free.

Angie, am not in the mood today so get out. said Oliver

what? are you driving me out because of this whore asked Angie with tears in her eyes

when you get home, tell my mom to stay out of my life said Oliver

I can't believe you are doing this to me, I love you said Angie

I don't love you Angie and I will never love you even if hell froze over now get out said Oliver without any emotion. he could feel Izzy's eyes on his face but he ignored her knowing fully well that she is probably thinking he is a rude jerk.

how could you treat me like this olive baby said Angie crying

Mike! yelled Oliver, calling his Bodyguard/driver/PA/ unsolicited adviser

Mike rushed in. yes sir

please get Angie out of here before I commit murder said Oliver

Mike escorted Angie out as she screamed

Oliver, you are going to regret treating me like this, I will make you pay.

I regret a lot of things but this isn't going to be one of them said Oliver as he turned to climb the stairs to his room

Oliver, don't you think you were rude to her. said Izzy

rude? asked Oliver confused

you shouldn't treat people like that just because she loves you doesn't mean you can talk to her that way said Izzy glaring at him

are you being serious right now asked Oliver trying hard not to get angry

I know you are rich and handsome, a lot of girls want you but that doesn't give you the right to treat someone this way.

well at least you said I was handsome said Oliver with a smirk

that's not the point and you know it said Izzy

so what do you expect me to do? asked Oliver having no idea why they are having this conversation

be kind to people said Izzy

be kind to people said Oliver as he took a step towards her.

so let's say am kind to her. he said taking another step.

and because of that kindness she thinks am in love with her he said taking another step

and then she thinks the reason I don't shower her with affection is because of you. he said taking another step to which Izzy responded by taking a step back

and she decided to get you out of the picture he said as he takes another step, Izzy took a step back not liking the way he is invading her space

so she came in here one day said Oliver as he took another step, she took a step back and her back met the wall behind her

when no one was around said Oliver as he took another step, this time he was so close to her she could feel his breath on her face

and she stabs you in your sleep said Oliver as he hits the wall close to her head, she hiccups out of fear.

that's how murderers are made, miss Monro. murderers are not born they are made. he said as he leans in and whispers in her ear. I just saved all of us from emotional trauma, not everyone is as good as you, there are people that look for excuses to hurt others he said as he took a step back from her.

are you one of them? asked Izzy with shaky voice

one of what? he asked

one of those that look for excuse to hurt others. she said looking into his eyes

that's for me to know and for you to find out miss Monro, but here's a little hint, I don't give excuses. he said as he walks upstairs.

nine months Izzy, just nine months, it Will come quickly you won't even notice. Izzy mouthed to herself, took a deep breath and went back into the kitchen.
