Connor POV
AUTHOR NOTE
Some topics in this chapter may be quite triggering.
Anyone with issues with emotional/mental abuse as well as sexual assault please feel free to skip this chapter. They are personal to me and I identify closely with Olivia’s character. Please no hate, only love.

I can’t believe my luck. Olivia is more than I ever could have wanted. Not only is she professional, beautiful and easy going, she is also a total nerd. Fuck she is perfect. I lay her down on my bed and find myself staring at her sleeping frame. Don’t be a creep
That chapter was shorter as it was quite heavy. I hope you are enjoying the story <3

Secret Glances Chapter 13 - Olivia POV
Olivia POV Wow, okay so last night did not go down as I thought it would. Don’t get me wrong Connor has been an absolute gent and I know our relationship will now be more than personal assistant and boss but as I lay here with my head on his chest listening to his soft snores I can’t bring myself to regret anything. Right now I feel safer than I have felt since I was a child. I smile to myself when I think about how much lighter I feel. I have never opened up about my story to anyone but Ally and after revealing it to Connor I feel relieved. I think about what I am going to do today when I feel Connor stirring. “Good morning angel.” Okay my heart is souring. “Good morning yourself.” I gi
Secret Glances Chapter 14 - Neil POV
Neil POVI enjoy my job. Mr. Williams is an easy charge. He is sensible, he is careful and he is predictable. In the beginning I was available every day but given that Mr. Williams rarely left the apartment on a Sunday he gave me that day off.It gave me a chance to meet with old forces friends from my days in the Marines. Reminiscing about old missions we were allowed to discuss, exchanging life stories of what we are up to now, dreaming of what eventual retirement might look like. Most of us took up roles in some form of security.We were discussing a particularly hairraising mission when I got the phone call.“Got to go lads. Mr. Williams' personal assistant has gone home to well… a wreck. Tota
Secret Glances Chapter 15 - Connor POV
Connor POV Knowing Neil will need Roxie, I move her over to our car and Ally gives us a lift to the hospital. Olivia was quiet during the drive there as Ally and I chatted about this and that. After promising to text them my address so they could see Olivia at my place we exited the car and made our way inside. “What floor?” I ask Olivia “Floor 10.” She sniffs. I press the floor button and pull her into my arms as the doors close. “Hush it will be okay. Neil is the best at what he does, we will keep you safe and find out who did this.” She nods against my chest as I try to soothe her. “Olivia, I know it’s hard but you need to calm down before we get to your mum’s room or she is going to know something
Secret Glances Chapter 16 - Olivia POV
Olivia POVI still can’t comprehend what is happening. A part of me wants to know what was inside but I am also glad I didn’t. I’m not sure I would have been able to handle it. The visit with mum was refreshing but now we are in the car on our way to Connor’s and the tears are flowing again. I can’t believe I am on the run again. This can’t be happening. This weekend has just been too much but I can’t escape it. I make a decision. Once I am out of this car, no more tears. No more wallowing. I am strong. I am a confident woman. I will not revert back to the scared girl I was back then. We arrive in the car park and I breathe deeply, wipe my eyes and get out of the car when Connor opens the door.Instead of heading upstairs straight away, we go to what looks like a security office. Neil explain
Secret Glances Chapter 17 - Connor POV
Connor’s POV She is going to vomit. As soon as she saw the picture of the camera, I knew. She almost looked green. The disgusting pervert put a fucking camera in her bathroom. I am beyond raging at this point. Whoever has done this will pay and I will ensure it happens. I follow Olivia as she runs to the toilet and empties our lunch into the toilet. I hold her hair and rub her back trying to give her a bit of comfort. Why didn’t Neil tell me? Now I feel a little of what Olivia is feeling. I know she must be angry that I didn’t give her time to menatlly prepare for what she might see but I was under strict orders from Neil not to interfere in the investigation. I explain why I couldn’t tell her and that I didn’t know about the camera and she seems to understand. She still looks pissed off and I can’t blame her. I am pissed off. She should be able to feel safe in her own home, she thought she
Secret Glances Chapter 18 - Olivia POV
Olivia POV “Stay with me please.” I whisper. I need the comfort that Connor gives me tonight. Even if it is just his presence. I can still feel his lips on mine and my core is still burning with need. “Are you sure?” He asks. His forehead is against mine and his eyes are closed. He looks conflicted but serene. Instead of answering I gently place my lips against his. Only holding them there briefly before pulling back. He nods and leaves the room explaining he is making sure the place is secure. I search for my charger and realise I haven’t got my work bag in my suitcase. “Fuck!” I shout as I search into the depths. I hear feet pounding the stairs and Roxie and Connor both enter in a state of panic. Roxie is searching for the threat and when she realises it is jus
Secret Glances Chapter 19 - Connor POV
Connor POVShe is so beautiful when she sleeps. So peaceful. I pull myself away not wanting to wake her up and look like a creep. After my shower, I brush my teeth and mentally prepare for the day. I have a feeling by lunch Liv will be climbing the walls. I am still going to try and keep her relaxed. Maybe I should take her out this afternoon. Yes.Once I have formulated a plan, I head back into the bedroom to find she is awake.“Good morning.” I smile as I walk to the walk in wardrobe. I hear a good morning back as I push the door slightly for privacy in case she wants to change. I will ensure her clothes are put away in here today.Okay so Liv is definitely going to be using my gym this mor
Secret Glances Chapter 20 - Olivia POV
Olivia POV How can this be happening. Just as I begin to get my life back on track and it is really looking up, that name comes back to haunt me. Will I ever be free of him? I realise the knowledge of him being in prison has made me complacent. Will I ever be safe? The answer to my question has his arms wrapped around me. Connor. He is my safe place. We have only just begun our exploration for each other but I already feel safe with him. I trust him. “Detective Dan. Can you possibly photocopy the next few weeks appointments from my diary and email them to me? I don’t want it back. Just take it with you. I do need to ask about your professional opinion in regards to my safety. What should I do?” I ask tentatively. “I think you are safe here. Especially with Neil s
