"Harrison, you're very quiet. What's the matter with you?"Harrison lowered his head, he couldn't utter a word, or at least not to talk about the subject that was haunting his head. Sophia took his hand and caressed it gently."If you don't feel good telling me what's happening to you, that's fine, I'm not going to pressure you, but you don't have to be a fortune teller or a scientist to know that what really has you like this, has its own name and starts with I.Harrison sighed and swallowed whole to gather strength and respond."Yes, you've learned to know me Sophia, to be honest, I'm dying for Olivia, but I'm aware that in the position I'm in, I couldn't even fight for her, that woman is full of suitors and they're very good, to tell you the truth.Sophia let go of his hand and turned to look at him."Do you think you're less than everyone else?!" I mean, a woman could only look at you for what you have, not for who you are," Sophia said wryly"For a woman of Olivia's stature, yes,
Olivia didn't know how long she was crying, however, after she was able to vent all her frustration, she raised her head, looked in the mirror, and realized that all of her makeup was running down her face, marking the bags under her eyes with large dark spots.She arranged her hair and with a damp cloth began to organize her face, her nose was red and her pupils dilated, the sensation she was experiencing at that moment, she had already experienced before, just when she left the Martens mansion the first time, the day she argued with Emma.5 years ago Harrison left for the office without saying goodbye to Olivia, it had been a couple of nights in which the communication between the two was delayed, they had many things to say to each other as a couple, but neither of them felt ready.That morning, the mansion woke up more messy than usual, it was dry weather and dust was rubbing all the furniture, Olivia, resigned to the lack of collaboration from her husband's family, put her beaut
Harrison arrived at his apartment, on Sophia's side, everything was ready for his trip, he just needed to pick up what little he had left. When he crossed the threshold of the door, Emma, who was standing in front of the window drinking a glass of wine, turned as soon as she felt his presence and looked at him contemptuously."My son! Baby, what are you doing at home so early?"Mom, I'm coming to pick up my things because I've changed jobs, I just wanted to talk to you."So that woman got the better of you?" You couldn't win her love back and she did what she wanted with you. Emma took a sip from her glass"Mom, Olivia doesn't love me anymore, she doesn't feel anything for me, and I'm not going to force her, there's no point in staying in that company anymore, just getting my head out and being humiliated by her.Emma angrily threw the glass on the floor, it exploded immediately, thousands of pieces of fine crystals flew out and the liquid stained everything in its path."You're just
With an emptiness in his chest, Harrison settled into the new office that Sophia had assigned for him, the deep sadness of seeing Olivia living her life as if she no longer felt anything for him, was consuming him, because she was all he wanted, he knew that he made mistakes in the past but how hard that he was paying for them.Behind him, there were only a pile of folders with documents that he had to manage, if he managed to move forward with the branch that Sophia entrusted to him, he would possibly have his emporium again."You don't look very lively, Harrison!" Sophia moved a pen up and down as she looked at him"Well, for the job if I am and you have no idea how much I thank you, it is an excellent opportunity Sophia, to place your trust in me, fills me with a lot of courage to face everything."I'm so glad you think so Harrison, and yes, I trust you too much, but I'd like you to change that face, I feel like I brought you straight to hell and not a chance to improve your life.
While Harrison was starting his new life, in California things were also changing, Olivia, despite the fact that she was also immersed in a sea of feelings, saw how day after day time passed and she did not hear from Harrison again, instead, with Ernest she began to see a new opportunity."Precious, I can't wait to see you, Olivia, you're driving me crazy," Ernest said in a phone call."Well Ernest, but as I told you, we must go slowly, so far we have known each other for a month, and well," Olivia tangled her fingers in the telephone cord "I just hope that things go well between the two of us" She told him that last honestly, because she longed for the moment when she stopped having feelings for Harrison."Of course! I'm very clear about everything you've told me, but that doesn't mean you don't drive me crazy, wait for me at the exit of the company, I'll be there at five o'clock in the afternoon."Well, that's fine! See you laterErnest hung up the call, Olivia sighed, even though s
"Get up!" We're leaving." Jonathan grabbed Olivia by the arm"Where are we going, Jonathan?!" Olivia got up from the floor crying"Let's go to your mansion, now we're going to live there, all together with your mother, and be very careful not to lie or do something to make her suspect me, because I swear I'll end up with both of them."You're a wretch!" Olivia lunged at Jonathan and began to punch him, but he, in the midst of his taunt, just grabbed her arms tightly and hurt them."Even if you fight, you don't have anything to do anymore, precious. Olivia slumped down, in the middle of her tears, she felt so helpless and guilty.Finally, with no other feeling than resignation, she got up and walked by his side, he never stopped threatening her, the worst thing is that you could tell that Jonathan had been planning that for a long time. For all his movements were coldly calculated.When they arrived at McGregor Manor, even though Olivia had swollen eyes and didn't look the best, when E
Meanwhile, on the other side of California, Harrison, oblivious to what was going on, was left in one piece when his sister called him."Megan: Nice little sister! How are you?"I'm fine, but things in California are a little complicated. Do you know what happened in the last few days?"Harrison was silent, imagining the worst"No, tell me, what happened? Is the family okay?""Our family, yes, fortunately, but Ernest is dead." Harrison was outside Olivia's company, and a man attacked him at close range, killing him.Harrison froze in time, it didn't take one need to be wise to understand that his death was related to Olivia."When?" Sophia hasn't said anything to me"It's just that it was something recent, but don't come, as I have a feeling you could be the next little brother.""What do you say, Megan?" Please, what does Ernest's death have to do with me?"Olivia, don't you think that's not enough?" The worst thing is that your beloved ex-wife hasn't come to work since that day, McG
Olivia felt the world come crashing down on her as Harrison walked out of hand with Sophia, swallowed hard, and took a deep breath."I want us to come home Jonathan, I need to know how my mother is," Jonathan turned to look at her, he was much taller than Olivia and barely looking over her shoulder."If Elise behaves, my boys will treat her very well."My father must be coming Jonathan, I don't want anything to happen to him because of your damn whims."It's your obligation to tell him not to come, what's more, take my phone and call him, tell him not to come to the mansion, that you are not here.""I'm not going to do that, bastard!" He replied defiantly.Jonathan walked over to her and squeezed her arm tightly, succeeding in his intention to cause her pain."Look Olivia, I don't want you to keep treating me as you please, from now on for you, I'm your love, if you don't treat me that way, your life will become torture, the simple act of breathing will become costly, did you hear me?
