GALEN’S POV“Galen.” Olivia called out to me, as she broke down. I walked slowly. Putting my hands up in surrender, as my eyes connected to the assailant’s. “Whatever is going on, we can talk about it.” I stated, slowly approaching him. I could tell that he was a white man, medium build, a little shorter than me but with a perfect grip of the pistol in his hands. He kept it steadily aimed at my wife who was now and was close to losing her mind. “You always think you can get away with ruining people’s lives.” He rumbles. “I don't know what you're talking about!”“THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!’’ His anger rose. “ Erything is falling apart because of you… because you cannot keep it in your pants!’’My brows furrow as I step forward. He moves his foot instinctively backwards but his gun remains aimed at Olivia. My heart was beating at such a fast rate that I thought I would fall and die. I didn't want Olivia to get hurt. she was still nursing the injury of her previous gunshot wound while

Galen’s POV“Again, thank you so much for coming, Richard.” I shook his hand again, before leading him into the conference room. I noticed his hesitance but I smiled politely. “You have to understand why my company will not conduct business with you, Galen. It's nothing personal, but we do not take lightly the disrespect that your wife showed me.”“I completely understand, Richard and that's why I have invited you here to personally apologize for it. please sit down.” He settled into the seat across from me. I pushed my files out of my face before staring directly at him. "Richard, we are friends, right?" I asked and he shook his head. "But friendship cannot get in the way of business.""I completely understand. I'm just hoping that for the sake of our friendship, we can put this Petty argument away and do business like we planned to.""I am a reasonable man, Galen, but I do not take disrespect lightly. What your wife did was..”“Despicable.” I finished the sentence. “She is sorry

Olivia’ pov“We have decided that you should get a divorce.”My husband and I got up from our seats so abruptly that I felt dizzy. “Divorce?” Galen and I asked in a panicked voice. “Yes.”“Where is this coming from?’’"You two have been acting like idiots and we can't take it anymore. You are changing the reputation of the company and investors have been pulling out already.”“What investors?’’ Galen asked his father. “They do not believe in your abilities to lead the company right. They are judging you by how you treat your home. If you cannot be loyal and faithful to your wife, then they don't expect you to be loyal to the company.” Galen was dumbfounded, his shoulders fell as he looked back at me. His eyes watered. He was broken and I knew he had no other way to defend himself. “Galen has already been trying his best. I don't understand where this is coming from. This company means the world to us, and we're going to take it to Great lengths but you have to let us do it our wa

Olivia’s POV"Jessie, I swear… if you don't pick up I'm going to come over there and eat all your food!" I threatened with a clenched fist, feeling frustrated and tired. Jesse had not been picking my calls over the last 2 days. I had sent one of my men over to check up on her but her apartment was empty. I missed her and I was frankly a little worried about her.There was a knock on the door, pulling me out of my train of thoughts. "Come in." I say, as I forced a smile on my face. "Galen?" I can't even hide the surprise in my voice. "I just need you to sign these documents.""You couldn't use your secretary for that?""Well, the guys out there have been looming and watching us the past 2 days. The more time we spend together in private, the more they believe that we are madly in love with each other.""No no, Galen. They're going to think that we're having sex.""That's not such a bad idea. Is it?" He laughed, trying to ease the tension but my eyes remained fixed on him. It had bee

Galen’s Pov“Take some water baby.” I handed Olivia a glass of water as I tapped her shoulder. She was freaking out. She could barely keep her breathing steady and I had to call her name a couple of times before she even heard me. I have never seen her scared and this anxious. I kissed the top of her head as I handed her the glass of water. She took a sip of it but then ended up pushing it away. “Take it easy. Calm down.” I sat beside her on the sofa, as I pulled her into my arms. She didn't resist me. Instead, she collapsed on my chest and started crying. Her muffles of pain made me feel so sorry for her. “Who could have done this?’’ She cried. “Why would someone do this?The questions I had in my mind were more than a thousand. I looked up only to meet Richard's eyes. He was still standing at the entrance of the bedroom, talking to the detectives today. Olivia's scream not only attracted me but all our parents. My parents lived in the North lawn of the mansion, while Olivia's p

OLIVIA’S POV“Is the room to your liking?’’ “It’s fine.’’ I threw the suitcase on the floor and my phone on the bed. “I’ve had another bed made. Once it’s ready, it’ll be moved into our room once the investigation is cleared and the crime scene taken care of.’’“Do you not see what’s wrong with that?’’ I snapped. “Someone just got killed, Galen. My best friend was murdered and you’re already talking about replacing the bed and moving back into that room…? What is the matter with you?’’ He remained silent. He looked at me and I felt sorry for him. He didn't deserve that. and I couldn't stop myself.“I'm sorry.”“It's ok.” He let out. “I know what you're going through.” “No, you don't. It feels like someone ripped my heart out.” I cried out, feeling defeated. He stood there like a statue, not knowing what to do or how to go about it. I felt drained and mentally exhausted.“If you need anything, I'm right here.’’ Galen said, smiling warmly. “I need some space. I'm going to shower a

They’re questioning me.’’ “I'm coming.’’ I hung up the phone before picking up my car keys. My father was already running behind me, calling out my name. “I don't understand what they're doing but I'm not going to let them.’’“I’ll go with you.’’ father said as we both entered the car.

I just don't understand why they cannot change the pact. There are other things they can dare me to do, but this. This is Olivia, man, and I haven't felt this way about another girl before.”“Listen to me, Galen, joining the fraternity is the best decision you can ever make. It will rise your status.’’“I don’t care about status,’’ I argued. “Well you should,’’ he put a hand on my shoulder. “You’re already getting bullied and beaten up.
