Carlos had told me where the other girls were, and he had also feed me in on what we were expected to do today and the schedule. It has helped immensely. Even though he didn't tell it with such an easy heart and he told me that I was wasting his time and acting stupid, I still appreciated that I got the information instead of getting into trouble again. I noticed the girls' behavior changing as I approached them. I know that they didn't like me, and I wanted with all my heart to fit in with them. “May I please join you?’’ I say, addressing Cecilia since she seems to be there making all the decisions. “Why would you want to join us? Isn't being a slave a disgrace?’’ All the girls stared at me, and I didn't know how to respond. Why would I want to be a slave? What was wrong and inhumane. But it was obvious that the more I argued about this, the more it would get me in trouble. If I wanted to survive here, then I needed the girls. I needed to know what was happening and what I was s

OLIVIA:Jessie has been a great help. I don't know what I'd do without her. However, right now, even as the media crew wheels their equipment into our house, there is a standoff between Ashern and my husband. They've stopped fighting, but that doesn't mean everything is fine. “Is he telling the truth?” Galen asks, his eyes still on Ashern, "did you really sleep with most of my friends?"“He's lying, he's always lying.”“What do I have to gain by lying about this, Olivia?” Ashern shot up.“Destroying this marriage. Revenge because Galen punched you. Your pride and ego. This is just a few.”“The interview is ready.” Jessie comes up to me, breaking my concentration. I looked at Galen, who was still staring at me like I was a whole different person. “Let's go.” He spoke, and I followed behind him without another word. It felt like I was walking on eggshells. The interview commenced in no time, and it was finally time to put up the act and save this fake marriage. “So Galen, how's marr

GALEN:“You were sleeping with her!” Olivia announced, as she slammed the door shut. “What! What are you talking about?’’“You know exactly what I'm talking about. You slept with Jessie. That’s why she’s always disappearing when we’re talking and coming back all sweaty.’’ The pain behind her eyes was evident. "Are you fucking serious? That's what you want to talk about?""Don't deny it, Galen.""I'm not going to fucking deny. She is 100 times a better woman than you can ever be. She's not a slut like you are.” Olivia gasped. I saw the tears for me in her eyes as she stepped back. She looked at me as if I had grown two heads. “What did you just say?”“You heard me. What went on back there was my worst nightmare. You didn't only sleep with Ashern. It was almost everyone else. You had the guts to stand here and judge me?”“What? G..Galen..” she let out in between tears. “I now know what you did, Olivia, and I don't regret leaving you five years ago. You do not deserve to be loved.

Galen’s POV“Oh my God!’’ Mrs Montey exclaimed, “Drive faster, you idiot!" The tone, and the choice of words, didn’t seem to faze her husband, my wife’s father. I, on the other hand, was surrounded by chaos. My wife laid unconscious in my arms, my heart beating faster. I felt like I was going to die. I have never felt pain like this before. “Please hurry!’’ I begged, and Mr. Montey stepped on it. “This is all your fault!’’ Liv’s mother cried out, looking back at me from the front seat. “You’ve gotten my daughter killed!’’“Shut up, you bitch! She’s going to be fine! She’s not dead. She can’t be.’’ It was the first time that I saw Olivia’s parents become this hostile with each other. “Don’t talk to me like that!’ Mrs Montey shouted, but all my focus was on Olivia. All the yelling died down in my head, and the only person I could focus on was my wife. I kept my hand pressed down on the wound in her chest, I held a piece of cloth on it, and put as much pressure as possible. I knew m

Galen’s POV“Mr Galen Grunt, is it true that you’re a lying piece of shit?’’ A mic was pushed in front of my face as everyone stared at me. Cameras clicked as I looked at them, feeling like a deer caught in headlights. “Please, this is a sensitive moment for my family and I..’’ “Your wife was two weeks pregnant for you when you decided to cheat on her. Then you fabricated photos between her and your ex best friend.’’ My father touched my shoulder, trying to pull me away.“What? I didn’t do that.’’ I defended myself. “I knew nothing about those photos until today.’’“But you cheated on her with not one, but three women in just a span of the two weeks you have been married.’’ I looked at everyone, trying to find my words but failing miserably. “What are you talking about?’’ I asked, but they were all staring at me like I had all the answers. “Isn’t it obvious?’’ A feminine voice sounded, as I turned. “Jessie.’’ I shook my head as she walked up to me. “Please don’t.”“My name is Je

GALEN:“You can’t do this,’’ I stepped forward. “I think we just did. My wife and I support Olivia’s decision. You are a horrible husband and getting away from you is what’s best for her.’’I looked back at my father, who had already excused himself to make some phone calls. “I want to speak to her myself.’’ “No!’’ His voice was high and firm. “You’ve already caused enough damage.’’ “Guards!’’ I called out for my security detail, who came running in the next second. “How do you want to do this, Michael?’’ I challenged him, “My guards are going to pull you away from that door at my command. But it doesn’t have to go that way.’’ A couple of nurses were already ogling at us. I didn’t like making a scene. But I needed to see my wife, and I was prepared to do it whatever means necessary. My father in law signaled for his men to step aside, and to which they obliged. Olivia's family and mine were united in business and in marriage. However, there was this minimal rivalry between us.

Olivia’s POV“Girl, you should have seen his face.’’ Jessie laughed, “I’ve never seen that man more shocked and embarrassed.’’“Come on, it had to be done. This was for the betterment of both companies.’’“And I'm not petitioning against that; I’m just saying it doesn’t hurt to enjoy his suffering.’’ “I know.’’ I shrugged, as I folded my dress. “But I have been where he is right now - it's not a pretty feeling.’’ “The difference between you two is that you didn’t fuck someone else just for the fun of it. He can barely keep it in his pants.” Jessie spoke, and I saw her point. “Glad to see he’s never changed.’’ “And he’s not going to either. The same fuck boy he was five years ago still lives on.’’ She shrugged, “It’s a shame that even this marriage couldn’t tame that part of him.’’ “Come on, Jessie,’’ I chuckled, “A marriage can’t stop him any more than chains to his legs can. My husband is a dog, heck, he fucked a woman in our bed one hour before our marriage just to get back at

OLIVIA:“Don’t get in my way today.’’ I scoffed. “If you did your job right, I wouldn’t have too.’’ Galen bellowed. “I'm serious. There is no reason why today shouldn’t go easy. It’s the first day, the employee loyalties haven’t been divided. We can work together on this.” My husband remained silent for a minute during the drive. “I agree with this. This is what we have been preparing for.”“Wrong. It’s what you’ve been preparing for. I don’t need to be prepared for a damn thing, I’m naturally good at this.’’“Is that what you told yourself when you slept with almost half my friend group in highschool?’’ My eyes jerk towards him in an instance. “For the last FUCKING time, I did not sleep with your little football club.’’ “For a self righteous person always claiming to never do wrong, you disgust me, darling wife.’’ His words didn't carry the same weight they always did. Instead, I was fed up. “We’re almost there, How about you shut up for the rest of the ride.’’ I rolled my e

OLIVIA:“I can’t believe him!’’ I threw my purse on the sofa, as I slumped behind my desk, feeling angry and frustrated. “Mrs Grunt, Please…’’“Mrs Olivia,’’ I corrected him with a stern look, “My husband’s name doesn’t need to come in everytime someone addresses me.’’ Marco placed some papers on my desk. “And what’s this, Marco?’’ “It’s Marcus.’’ He corrected shyly.“That’s cute, but you look more like a marco, you know, like Marco Polo or Peter Pan.” I laughed slightly, while he smiled nervously. I had never had an assistant before, I wasn't handling this the way I was supposed to. “Did my husband pick the pink flowers?” I asked and to which he nodded. Galen knew how much I hated pink flowers. He did this to personally irritate me. “What about the overall arrangement and decor of this office? This is far different from what I sent in.”“I'm sorry, Mrs Grunt.. Sorry, I mean, Mrs Olivia. But Mr Grunt sent in a new arrangement plan last night and requested we ignore the first one.’

Episode 20
OLIVIA:In the flash of a second, Galen put himself between my father and I. I stared at him, feeling confused but a little relieved. My father was a man who was short tempered. He had a heavy hand, one which he never hesitated to use.“This is between my daughter and I!’’ He roared, “Get out of the way, Grunt!’’ “With all due respect, she is not just your daughter. She’s also my wife!’’ “Galen, I…"“I won’t listen to it!’’ my husband cut him off, “You’ve been nothing but terrible to Olivia back at home, I won’t allow you to bring that experience here as well.’’ A short moment of silence coupled with intense eye contact followed. I could tell what either of them were thinking. “Do you know what she did?’’ My father let out as he stepped back. “She lost us a major clientele. She slapped him.’’“Who?’’ “MacGuire&proprerties limited!’’ My husband turned to look back at me. He raised a brow, before turning back to my dad. “I understand, I’d like to speak to my wife now!’’“You’ve g
