SHORT STORY WRITTEN BY KAWANA L. BRADFORD
Chapter 1
Consequence of Truth
It is the saddest day of Olivia’s life. The last place she ever thought she would be, her mother’s Mya Marie Carter funeral. As she says goodbye to the mother she never really knew. Olivia’s heart breaks. Standing to look out at the only family she knows. Abby, Quinn, Steven, Harrington and Hatch she speaks.
“I’m not sure what to say, because I only saw you a couple of times as a child”. “But I never forgot you, and I love you mom”. Oliva then breaks down sobbing uncontrollably. Abby jumps from her seat, and goes to comfort Oliva with tears in her eyes. “It’s gonna be ok Liv” Abby says doing her best to console Olivia. That’s when all of Liv’s family all stood and rapped their arm around her as well. Unbeknown to any of them there was a figure on the upper level watching their emotional breakdown.
Olivia decided to have her mom cremated because she wanted to be able to keep her close to her. It brought her a sense of peace knowing that she could keep her urn close by. At 28 years old Olivia feels as if she has completely lost all hope of ever really finding out why her mother left her. Losing her mother brought back the hurt she felt after losing her Nanna, Anna Mae Carter.
Past:
Five year old Olivia looks at her nanna and asks, “Nanna is my mommy coming back?” Nanna looks at Olivia with a smile and say “Yes Livvie dear. She always comes back”. Olivia leans into her nanna’s with the saddest eyes. “I miss her nanna, she been gone for a long time”. Anna kisses Liv on the forehead. “I know livvie, I know”.
“But why did she leave me nanna?” Did I do something wrong?”
“No sweetie. You didn’t do anything wrong, Mommy is just having a hard time right now. So Nanna is looking after you till mommy can take care of you.”
“I be glad when she come back, because I miss her. “ Anna rubs Liv’s back and states “Me too Livvie, me too.”
Anna continues to hold Olivia till she falls asleep. Nearing sleep herself she’s interrupted when the phone rings. “Hello?”
“Hi mom.”
“Mya”! Anna says in a hush tone.
“Yes mom it’s me. How’s Livvie?’
“She’s fine dear. She’s been asking for you.” When are you coming home?”
“I told you mom, her dad is a dangerous man. He can’t know she exist or he will hurt me and my baby.” “I have to stay out of site. If he finds me and find out I did not abort Livvie he will kill me mom. I’ve told you this.” That’s why she doesn’t have our last name. She has his name. Cause he would never have any reason to suspect her under his last name, even if he finds me. I left her with you because he thinks you’re dead. That’s why I couldn’t have her in a hospital mom. That’s why I had to leave and I can’t keep taking chances and coming back. I’m sorry mom. Please take care of my baby. I will call when I can. I love you mom and please let livvie know I love her so much. I’m doing this for her mom.” Mya finally takes a breath but she’s inconsolable and hangs up without saying goodbye.
Anna has taken care of Olivia since the day Mya appeared on her doorstep 8 months pregnant in full blown labor. With fear in her eyes she pleads with Anna to help her because she needed to deliver this baby and she couldn’t do it in a hospital. “Momma, please help me!” Anna helps her daughter inside of her home with a panic on her face. “Mya what the hell? Child are you in labor?” Mya looks at her mom and says, “Yes mom. But nobody can know. I really messed up mom. Aaaaaaa, I think it’s coming! Anna takes her daughter to her old room and lays her down. She gets to work getting towels, warm water, and scissors. Meanwhile Mya continues to scream as baby Olivia pushes her way into the world. 10 minutes later Olivia Carolyn Price is born. Weighing in at 7 pounds, 10 ounces, 19 inches long, beautiful head of black hair, big doe eyes and pouty lips. Mya and Anna immediately fall in love with this beautiful baby girl.
After 2 days of rest and a long talk with Anna, Mya prepares to leave after handing her mother a birth certificate with the name Marie Wallace (Mother), Olivia Carolyn Price (Newborn), and father (decease).
It’s been 1 week since the funeral and Olivia is beyond depressed. As Olivia sits on the couch nursing a glass of wine with tears in her eyes her doorbell rings. “Who the hell is at my door!” she says to herself but does not move from her sitting position. Again the doorbell rings. Still not moving to answer she thinks to herself. If I don’t answer maybe they will go away. After a moment or so the person on the other side of the door begins to bang loudly on the door. Then she hears her voice “Oliva open this door! I know you’re in there. I see your car outside”. Abby yells. She then hears the lock turn and in comes Abby. “Liv what the hell? Why didn’t you open the door? Why are you sitting there in the dark? ‘Abby opens the blinds and that’s when she notices. “Liv, what’s the matter you’re crying”. Abby runs to her side and pulls Liv into a hug and allows her to cry until she decided to stop. There are no words exchanged. Abby just sits with Liv and hugs her until Liv speaks. “I never got to know her Abby.” “And even thought she left me, I still had hope. I still loved her.” Abby looks at Liv with tears now in her eyes as well and asks, “Do you think what your Nanna said is true about her life being in danger?”
“I’m not sure, but Nanna wouldn’t lie to me. I don’t think.”
“Maybe we can have Hatch look into it for you.”
“No! Nanna said to never look for my mother. That it was too dangerous. That my supposed father worked for some highly dangerous secret agency that teach people to kill. And if he finds out about me that I would be in danger of being killed as well.”
“Do you think he killed your mother?” Abby asked looking at Olivia as if she had two heads.
“I don’t know Abby and too afraid to find out.” Olivia breaks down and begins to cry again. Abby just sits and holds her until she falls asleep. Olivia wakes up 2hrs later only to find Abby asleep next to her. She smiles. Abby has been like the sister she never had. She met her in college. Actually she met Harrington and Steven there as well. Since Abby was still asleep Olivia decided to take a shower and put on some clean sleep ware. After getting out of the shower Olivia heads back downstairs where a sleeping Abby is now awake in the kitchen looking for something to prepare for Olivia. “Hey Abbs, thanks for staying with me.”
“No problem Liv you needed me. I’m just glad I followed my gut and came by.” Are you feeling better?’
“A little bit. What you looking for? Maybe I can find it for you.”
“Well actually I was gonna prepare something simple for you. I’m sure you haven’t eaten anything today”
“No I haven’t been very hungry.”
“How about some veggie soup?”
“That sounds good. Are you staying the night?”
“For as long as you need me.” I already talked to Stephan. Him and the guys will stop by tomorrow.”
“Ok”
Abby and Liv ate and talked and cried for most of the night. When Liv woke up the next morning she could hear the many voices whispering in the other room. She decide to get up and do her morning routine of brushing her teeth and washing her face before heading to the living room where her extended family was waiting for her to appear. As liv steps into view of the living room she’s greeted by Harrington being he was the first to see her. “Hey Liv.” Harrington says leaping up from the couch.
“Hey Liv.” The rest of the gang chimed in.
“Hey guys.” Olivia states and hugs everyone one by one. For the rest of the day they all just sit around taking turns trying to get Liv’s mind off of her pain.
…..
“FITZPATRICK!” Mellie yells for the hundredth time. Fitz pulls the covers over his head. Trying to drown out the sound of Mellie’s voice. But again she yells his name.
“This Bitch.” Fitz says under his breath. “What Mellie?” He yells back finally coming from underneath the blanket he so desperately wished would make her disappear.
“I know you heard me the first time.” Mellie sneered.
Fitz blows out a breath. Speaking in a softer tone. “What Mellie?”
“Can you turn over you’re poking me in my back with the penis you never use.” Mellie screeched.
“If I can do it without a condom I would poke you with my unused penis. Mellie why do I need a condom? We are married.”
Mellie head snaps in Fitz’s direction. “You just want to knock me up. We’re not ready for children. We have only been married for a year Fitz.”
“Well then get some birth control.” Fitz says
“Well isn’t that what condoms are?’ Mellie smiles figuring she shut him up ending this stupid conversation. Mellie having no intention of having a child until she fills he’s earn the right to impregnate her. It’s only been a year and Fitz has yet to even disclose his net worth with her. She knows he comes from money. The Grantford name means money. And Mellie plans on enjoying it before pushing out any Grantford babies.
Fitz pulls the covers back getting out of the bed walks to the bathroom and turns on the shower. Thinking to himself. What the fuck have I gotten myself into? She knew I wanted children when I dated her. She wanted to be abstinent while dating. I did that. Thought Fitz. Then she demanded I use a condom our first time and every time after that. “What the fuck!” Fitz stated out loud as he jagged off trying to get rid of his painful boner.
Unbeknown to Fitz Mellie has been having an affair with a partner at her firm by the name of Andrew Nicolson Truth be told Mellie is in no way attracted to Fitzpatrick Grantford. Just the Grantford money and how much she can spend. The sex is just painful. Who in their right mind wants something that big inside of them. Sex should be pleasurable not painful according to Mellie. Fitz never really liked condoms because they were uncomfortable being a man with his girth..
As Fitz grabs his keys and wallet and heads out to his car to go to work his phone rings. “Hello. “His secretary is calling from his office where he runs a successful consulting company call Grantford For The People. He helps people who have died and left their Estate with no Will or unclaimed life/death insurance, money or property. Being wealthy with no one to claim your assets after your death being left in the hand of the government doesn’t set well with him.
As a child Fitz childhood friend Sam parents were killed when was just five years of age. No other family known or looked for left the child in foster care. Where within two years of being in the system was killed at the hands of his foster parents. In hopes that they would inherit his wealth and trust fund. That money and estate went unclaimed for 20 years. Until the government took claim of it. Only to find out 25 years later there was yet family alive who could not claim the estate because Statue of Limitation had run out. This experience from knowing the family set Fitz on his career path. Big Jerry was disappointed his son did not want to follow in the family way Grantford Oil, but he understood and respected his son’s decision.
“Yes Lauren?”
“Mr. Grantford you said you wanted to know immediately if Caldwell Funds of family Estates needed our assistance.”
“Thank you Lauren I’ll be right in. After disconnecting the call Fitz dials another number and wait for the call to connect. Once the person picks up the other end Fitz speaks. “Start up the paperwork.” “Yes Sr.” The caller responses before hanging up.
Once Fitz reaches his office he contact Caldwell funds of Family Estates and set up a meet for later that next day.
Chapter 2
Much later that same evening Olivia and Abby are getting dressed to meet up with the guys at this new spot Hatch recommended call QP’s, As Liv applies her gloss she sees her phone light up on the vanity. She picks it up and sighs. “What’s the matter now Liv?” Abby asks.
“With so much going on I forgot my gynecology appointment.”
“Gynecology appointment, for what? It’s not like you having sex Liv.
“No Abby I’m still dessert dry down there. I was supposed to have my IUD taken out and replaced.”
“Oh, well you can do that anytime. It’s only been 5 years since you had sex with anyone besides that ass ass Edwardson. Ugg, I still don’t know how you let him touch you. Gross!”
Don’t remind me Abbs. I still get grossed out too this day. He was the biggest mistake of my life.” Olivia hated thinking back to her days with Edwardson.
Past Memory…
Olivia was 23 years old still in college. College was easy for Olivia except when it came to paying for it. Her scholarship only paid for so much. Without financial backing of parents, money was hard to come by. Liv worked as much as she could to help pay for school. It was sophomore year. Edwardson was a senior hell bent on dating Olivia. Each time Edwardson asked Liv out she would turn him down. Stating she’s not ready to date. She needed to focus on school. Edwardson knew Olivia didn’t come from money but that didn’t matter to him. Olivia was the girl every guy wanted. And Edwardson coming from money and privilege had to have her. Since Edwardson knew Olivia needed money he’s used that to his advantage. First by pretending he wanted to be friends. Always bringing her lunch, offering to drop her off and pick her up from work, and making sure she had money. At first Olivia refused his money. So Edwardson would leave it in her room. With a card or note saying no strings and the sweetest things. Olivia was not use to any guy making her feel this special. And even though she really didn’t like Edwardson as nothing more than a friend He eventually wore her resolve down.
6 months into her sophomore year Olivia and Edwardson had officially been dating 2 weeks. Edwardson showered Olivia with money and gifts and played the role of doting boyfriend. Olivia began to feel like she needed to do something for him. That she owed him for always thinking about her. It was late and Liv was in her dorm studying for her exam. Edwardson was also there egging Olivia on. “Come on Livia take a break.”
“Ok Edwardson just let me finish this last chapter.”
“It’s the weekend Livia you can finish it tomorrow. Come on.” Edwardson said in a whinny voice
Olivia looks at Edwardson and smiles. “Ok fine.
Edwardson smiles and pulls Olivia from her seat and on top of him. He begins to kiss her aggressively and eagerly. Turning her over so that he is now on top. He begins to grope her, touching her everywhere like a wild beast. “Edwardson slows down.” Olivia says as she tries to turn her head and catch her breath. “Sorry Livia, I just want you for so long.” You’re so beautiful.” I’ve shown you how much I care for you. Haven’t I?” Liv nods her head up and down.
“Can I make love to you Olivia?” Olivia freezes she’s not sure if she’s ready for this but agrees to it anyway. “Do you have condoms?” Olivia asks. Edwardson feels like he just won the lottery. He jumps up from the bed grabs a condom from his wallet and turns off the lights.
“Edwardson, why did you turn off the lights?” Olivia asks with a raised voice.
“Oh I thought it would be more romantic. Don’t worry about it. The window still allows us to see.” Edwardson strips waist down in 3.2 seconds. “Come on Livia take off your clothes.” Edwardson begins to pull Olivia’s pants and underwear off as Olivia removes her shirt. But before she could remove her bra Edwardson was on her like the horny dog he was. Placing wet kisses on her face lips, shoulder and neck. Pushing her bra up without removing it. Licking and slurping on her breast like they were popsicles. Olivia never had time to catch her breath. Edwardson open the condom with his teeth as Olivia laid there and watched.
OMG he still has his shirt on. Olivia thought to herself. Please let this be over quickly. Then she felt it. The head of his penis at her opening. Olivia wondered if she should have told him she was a still a virgin. As she started to say the words to him, he begins to grunt and thrust. But there was no real penetration. Just the head of his penis thrusting in and out of her vaginal opening. Never reaching past that point. Edwardson then begins to pant and talk.
“Oh Livia your pussy so sweet.” Dam you made me wait so long for this” Edwardson continued to thrust and moan and talk. “Dam Livia this feels so good.
Olivia frowns, and thinks to herself, is he serious. Just as Olivia has had enough Edwardson begins to stiffen and growl. Olivia eyes buck “What the fuck” her mind speaks. And within moments Olivia felt a wet warm sensation spilling from her opening and going between her ass cheeks. “Did this ass hole just cum in me? Where’s the condom?” Olivia thought and began to freak out.
“EDWARDSON DID YOU JUST COME IN ME?’ Where the fuck is the condom?”
“Aw dam it broke. You’re on the pill right?”
“What the fuck Edwardson. You didn’t even put it on. You nasty fuck. OMG yuck you came in me and it’s running down my ass. You sick fuck. No I’m not on the pill ass hole. I was a virgin but you were so hard up you jump me like a dog in heat.”
“What you mean you not on the pill. What the hell Olivia. I see what you doing. You’re trying to trap me because my family got money. As Edwardson was talking he was quickly putting his clothes back on. “It’s not my fault the condom broke and you didn’t say anything about not being on birth control. Where they do that at?”
Olivia was livid. “You know what Edwardson, fuck you. If I end up pregnant or with a disease, I’m fucking you up. You know dam well the condom didn’t break. Your little dick ass couldn’t fit in the condom. You….. Nasty… little dick… sick…. fuck.”
“Olivia don’t make me fuck you up.”
“GET OUT NOW!”
“Fine I’m leaving and my dick’s not little, your pussy just over used. Virgin my ass.” Edwardson leaves slamming Olivia door with all his might. Olivia locks her door and gets in the shower trying to hide her tear behind the water. 20 minutes later Abby Olivia roommate and friend comes and finds Olivia still in the shower crying. After calling out to her and getting no responds she entered the bathroom. An hour later along with the morning after pill Abby had once again taken care of Oliva.
As Olivia waited for the subway train on her way to work the next day Hatch appeared out of the shadows. “Hey Liv.” Olivia turns to see Hatch and smile but it’s not a very genuine smile.
“Oh hey Hatch. I haven’t seen you in a while.”
“Well true you have a boyfriend now so no sub trains no Hatch I guess.” Olivia giggles but still the laughter is not genuine. Hatch notices this.
“Liv are you alright? Did he hurt you?”
“Yeah Hatch he kinda did but I’m ok”
“Humph. Well your train is here. Will you be catching the train from now on?”
“Yeah probably so.”
“Ok, no more riding the train alone I’m riding with you.”
After returning to campus Olivia never saw Edwardson again If only she knew Between Harrington, Steven, and last but not least Hatch a good ass kicking and a threat to destroy his family name was the reason the remainder of Olivia’s college cost where paid in full under the pretense of an extra scholarship Grantford.
Present…
Olivia shook her head trying to remove the memory from her mind. Olivia set a new reminder in her phone to schedule herself another gynecology appointment. Just a she put her phone down she hears her doorbell. Her and Abby both look at one another and head toward the front door. After opening the door Olivia greets the courier.
“Hello I have certified mail for Ms. Olivia Price.
“I’m Olivia Price.
‘Yes ma’am this package required I.D.”
“Oh sure.” Olivia turns to grab her wallet from inside her purse on the table as Abby just stand and watches. After showing the courier her ID Liv takes the package and closes the door. She opens the letter and begins to read. Abby notice the blood has drained from Olivia face and immediately is at her side.
“Liv, what is it. Who’s it from?’ What does it say? Liv, Liv, Olivia!” Olivia does not answer so Abby does what Abby does best snatches the letter and begins to read. Abby mouth drops open, but she can’t find the words.
“Liv you have a trust and your mother left you a 10 million dollar life insurance. “Is this real? Who is Grantford For The People Consultants?”
“I don’t know Abbs, but we can worry about that tomorrow. Now we’re late meeting the guys.” Olivia places the letter on the counter and her and Abby head out to meet the guys
As Olivia and Abby arrived at QP’s Stephen is the first person they notice from their little family group. Well in actuality he was the first one they heard. His laughter was contagious. Abby laughs and points “There they are over at the bar Liv.” As Abby and Liv approaches the group Stephen immediately grabs Abby in for a hug and peck on the cheek. “Hey sweetheart, Hey Liv” says Steven. This cheers Liv up right away. She needs this love and support of her family. Harrington and Hatch then turn around at the announcement of the two women arrival with a smile and began to cheer. Harrington walks over to Liv and hands her a Cosmo. “I ordered for you.”
“Thanks Harry. I definitely need this.” Liv sips her drink and sits next to Hatch. Hatch kisses Liv on the cheek and asks her how she’s holding up?’.
“I’m fine, Hatch.”
“Ok if you say so then I believe you”
“Hey everyone let’s have a toast to Liv”, yells Abby. “She is about to be rich!”
“ABBY!” Liv says as she swiftly turns to look at her with an intense glare.
“What you are.”
“Rich how” says Steve.
“Yeah Liv rich how. “Stephen pipes in.
Hatch says nothing, He just glances at her and continue his conversation with the bar tender. Now that all the attention is on Liv she takes a breath and pauses for a moment.
“Well some certified mail came vi courier today before we left my apartment about some trust fund and death benefits.”
“Tell them how much Liv.” Abby says with excitement
“Abby I’m not even sure it’s real. But I will look into it tomorrow but for now let’s drink.” Liv then takes her drink and swallow it down slamming her flute on the bar. “Bar tender more rounds please.”
Everyone decides to drop the subject and join in on hitting and chanting “Drinks, drinks, drinks.”
The bar tender begin to pour up more drinks for the group. Everyone is beginning to really enjoy themselves when Harrington asks Hatch. “Hey Hatch this place is pretty cool. How’d you find this joint?” Hatch kinda blushes and looks at the bar tender. She smiles back and walks in front of Harrington and states. “I introduced him to it.” Harrington nods and asks. ”Well how’d you come across this place it of the chain? Plus you’re too cute to be a bartender?”
“I’m not a bartender, I own the place. Quinn, Quin Peterson and you are?”
“I’m Harrington, this is Olivia. Pointing to his right. That’s Abby and Steven. Then turning to his left and then his………
“Hatch.” I already know him.” Quinn then leans over the bar and peck Hatch on the lips. Everyone in the group just paused. And stared at the two. Then without notice Harrington begins to cheer “Whoohoo Hatch got a girl.” Stephen then joins in as well as Abby. Liv just smiles and nods to Hatch as to give the approval. Hatch blushes lowering his head with slight embarrassment.
“Well welcome to the family Quinn.” Harrington reaches out to shake her hand. The group then follows his lead and does the same. For the remainder of the night everyone danced, drank, sang and enjoyed the evening being together. Eventually everyone when home. Except Hatch he stayed behind to wait for Quinn. As Liv pulls up to her apartment Abby says to her. “Liv do you want me to stick around?”
“No Abbs, I’ll be fine. You can go home.”
“But what about the trust fund thing?”
“I’ll handle it tomorrow and keep you posted. Right now I just want to curl up in my warm be and sleep.”
“Are you sure. I can stay if you like?’
“I’m sure Abbs. I just need some alone time. I’ll be fine.”
“When you say that I’ll be fine Liv, that says to me you’re not fine.”
“I’m ok Abby I just need a moment.” Liv lets out a frustrating sigh.
“Ok, but you call me if you need anything. I will come no matter the time or hour. Ok?”
“Ok.” Liv looks at Abby with a small smile and heads inside. Abby then gets in her car and drives off.
…..
It’s is early the following day and Fitz is in New York meeting with a divorce attorney. He decided he’d had enough of Mellie and her selfish ways. He was a good man. He really thought she was the one. Beautiful, smart, successful, strong willed. But he never anticipated selfish and money hungry. She didn’t know that he hired a private investigator to keep tabs on her. Who goes six months in a marriage without sex? Hell he was losing his mind with thoughts of sex. She was up to something. He just had not figured it out yet. But Fitz was tired of living in a loveless marriage. He wanted out. He wanted children. He wanted the rest of his life with someone special. Someone who would love him as much if not more than the love he gives. Not his money. As Fitz walks into his lawyer’s office he walks up to the reception desk. The receptionist recognizes him immediately and announces his arrival to her boss.
“Sir, Mr. Grantford is here.” The receptionist states as she looks Fitz up and down from head to toe. Dam that one fine specimen of a man. She thinks to herself. Fitz notices this and smirks to himself.
“Send him in Marcia. And hold all my calls.”
Fitz walked into the Lawyers office. ”John, How’s it going?”
“Great Mr. Grantford.”
“Fitz, just Fitz.”
“Ok Fitz all the paperwork is complete. But I must ask are you sure you want to give her the mansion in Santa Monica. That’s a pretty expensive property?” I think the 10 million is more than generous.”
“Yes I’m sure.” Did you include both cars? I don’t want to seem unfair.”
“Dam I wish I was about to be your ex-wife.” Both men chuckes from the statement.
“So John that private investigator, has he found anything?”
“Well maybe, she’s been spending a lot of time on dinner dates with one of the firm partners. A one Edward Nicholson. But that’s about it.” Fitz nods his head but says nothing. “We can keep watching her if you like?”
“No. Stop the surveillance. I’m getting the divorce regardless. Doesn’t matter what she’s been up too anymore. I’m done with this marriage. Thanks John. Have her served at the end of the week at her office.”
“Will do Sr. Anything else you need?”
Just as Fitz was about to respond his phone vibrated in his pocket. He put his hand up letting John know he needed one moment. Looking at his phone’s caller id he notices it’s his office. “Hello Lauren.”
“Hello Mr. Grantford, Ms. Price the beneficiary for the Carter estate has responded to the notice. She will be here this afternoon at 4 o’clock for her consult. Do I need to reschedule her to meet with you directly since your plane doesn’t arrive till 4pm?’
“No Lauren. Have her meet with one of the other consultants. I will review the paperwork when I arrive.”
“Yes Mr. Grantford. I will take care of it right away.”
Fitz hangs up his phone and returns his attention the John. He then stands and shakes Johns hand. “Thanks for everything John. Please notify me the moment Mellie is served.” John nods and Fitz leaves. He decides to kill time while waiting for his departure back to California.
….
As Olivia arrives at the consulting office she stops and says a quick prayer that this is real. If it is she can finally get her own business off the ground. And quit her horrible job working as a secretary for Sally Lexington. Olivia always dreamed of opening her own business using Hatch skills designing new technology that anyone can use to locate lost love ones. Hatch has always been her little brother since the day he saved her from being mugged in the train station. She would see him every day during her college days. And he always spoke to her. For the first time she seen someone with eyes sadder than hers. She vowed to get him out of that train station and get him back into society. Upon her graduation as she crossed the stage she noticed Hatch in the audience. Standing next to him was Abby, Harrington and Stephen. Unbeknown to her at the time Harrington and Stephen had been a part of the reason Edwardson never returned to school after there last encounter. She learned that Harrington and Stephen had been secretly following and keeping an eye on her after learning from Abby what Edwardson had to her. Hatch being Hatch did notice this and corner Stephen and Harrington one day holding both of them at gun point.
“Why are you two following Olivia?” The menacing look on his face alone with the big as gun in his hand was enough to make the toughest man piss his pants. Which is what Harrington did by the way. Both men began to stutter and sweat profusely.
“Look man, it’s not what you think. She’s a good friend of ours. We just looking out for her.” Harrington spoke very quickly
“Yeah, yeah.” Said Stephen. “She’s a good friend” And we’re just making sure her ex-boyfriend doesn’t bother her.
After hearing this Hatch lowered his gun. “Go on. Keep talking.”
“Ahhh, yeah. See Liv ex is a jerk. And he threatened to fuck her up after he did some real fowl shit to her. And we making sure she gets to work and home ok. That’s all.” Harrington spit out all in one breath.
Hatch looked from one man to the other. “I’ll take care of him. You two make sure when on campus he don’t hurt her again.”
Stephen gives Hatch a smile and says “Well mate it looks like we have a deal can you please put that gun away. Hatch tucks his gun inside his jacket behind his back. As he walks away Harrington yells “We still kicking his ass when we catch him.” Hatch turns back around to face them. He looks at them for a moment. “Do you really intend to kick his ass or are you just talking?”
Stephen speaks first. “OH mate we really intend to kick his ass. What he did to Liv is disgusting and disrespectful. And now he walks around like he didn’t do shit. Oh yeah we fucking him up on site. But we haven’t seen him as of late.”
Hatch studies them for a moment. “Come with me.”
Harrington and Stephen looked at each other. Harrington nodded and Stephen hunched his shoulder up and down. Hatch not having time for their indecisiveness says, “Do you want to kick his ass or not?”
“Oh hell yeah!” Both men stated at the same time and began to follow Hatch. Hatch took them to a location on the other side of town. Inside an apartment was Edwardson tied up and duck taped naked to a chair. “What the fuck dude?” Both Harrington and Steven stated. (Yeah they have been hanging out together too long.)
“Dude he’s naked!” says Harrington
Stephen on the other hand didn’t care that he was naked. He just wanted revenge for Liv. No women should be treated the way Edwardson treated them. Like they were worthless. Edwardson looked like he was gonna shit himself. Fear was his greatest emotion at this moment. Hatch looks at the pair and begins to untie Edwardson. “Get up and get dressed.” Edwardson never said a word just followed orders. At that moment Stephen took a swing knocking Edwardson up in the air. As Edwardson landed Stephen hit him again. Then Harrington joined in. They beat him and threated him that if he ever came anywhere near Olivia again they would kick his ass again. Once they felt they had their justice. They shook hand with Hatch. Hatch gave them his name and took their contact info. Promising to keep in touch. Hatch releases Edwardson only after showing him all the information he had on his family and their despicable sins. Edwardson transferred out of the school never to be seen or heard from again.
Olivia continues her journey to through the office building and up the elevator to the 12th floor. As she inters the reception area. “Hi my name is Olivia Price. I have and consulting appointment. I’m not sure who it’s with.”
