His Deadly Wife (A Roman Godfrey/Hemlock Grove fanfic) book 3

Chapter 11

Olivia was making her way out of the White Tower when she accidentally bumped into Dr. Johann Pryce. "Oh, pardon me. I should have been- well, if it isn't Olivia Godfrey. What in the world are you doing here? I thought for sure that you would have been home, doing whoever it is that you always screw."

"Oh, shut up Johann. I stopped by to see my son and have a chat with him. Though you should consider yourself lucky that you still have a position here in the White Tower," Olivia said.

"My Job is secure. I am owner of at least half of the White Tower," Johann said.

Olivia scoffed. "You are just as foolish as I was. Thinking that your position is safe, all because I was owner of the White Tower. But the very moment my son got married, he changed everything. I'm no longer the owner. I no longer seem to have importance to the company. Well, that's how he's making it out to be anyway."

"You knew from when you took over, that you would be replaced. Why are you so pissed off by this," Johann asked.

"Because I was completely removed from the company, even the pay roll. Roman now gives me an 'allowance' once a month. He told me to spend it wisely. He also said that if I didn't like the arrangement, that I could go and charge for sex. Never has he spoken to me like that before. I blame his bitch of a wife for his sudden change," Olivia complained.

Dr. Pryce laughed. "Ph that is a good one Olivia. But you are in denial if you are looking to place the blame on poor Alyse...Or did you forget that she never wanted to be married to your son to begin with? This is karma's way of getting back at you for not leaving that poor girl alone. You had to go and push your son harder to everything he could, just to make sure Alyse was his wife. You even encouraged him to have a baby with her."

"I didn't expect things to turn out this way. I thought Alyse would get Roman to see things my way," Olivia said.

"You can't have everything you want, Olivia. You wanted a faithful little puppet that you could use to control. Look how well that turned out for you. Instead of an obedient puppet, you managed to create the perfect monster. Now you are going to be the one who has to deal with her," Dr. Pryce said.

"That is what you think," Olivia said.

Dr. Pryce gave Olivia a questioning look. "What in the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"It means that you are going to help me find a way to put an end to this monster; or you can stand there and watch as she destroys everything. Trust me Johann dear, it's only a matter of time before she does destroy everything. I have no control over her, and the only one who can get through to her, won't do shit about it, because he thinks that she's fine the way she is."

"You started to make her into a monster before she was reborn. You're still doing it now. Only difference is, Roman is the one in control of her. He's making it so that she snaps and attacks you. You're afraid of when that day does come. You don't want to die by Alyse's hand," Pryce said piecing it all together.

"Think about it, Johann; would you want to be killed by Alyse, if she learns that you helped in the mistreatment of her father, all while he was being held here? I don't want to begin to think about all of the things that girl would have planned for you, if she finds out that, you lied about her father's death before she married Roman," Olivia said.

"You forced me to lie for you. It was either that or you would destroy everything that I worked hard on. So if anything, we're both screwed if Alyse finds out. Though I would plead with her to hear me out, and understand that you made me do this, so you could trick her into marrying your son," Pryce said.
