Unlocked Passion 2

17.

Trigger Warning: Drowning

"What?! Baby... You... you can't... close down Baker Corporation.. I mean you worked so hard for this..."

Spencer is shocked by his wife's words. He would have never thought that, the hardest working woman in his life, would ever just give up this way. Well, at least he thought of it that way.

"I'm not ok. I can't run my company right now. Don't you get that?!"

"So, are you saying you're giving up?" Olivia looks at him, offended.

"Yeah, because everything that I've worked my ass of for, I'm completely giving up on it and just saying fuck it! Babe, I literally just fucking told you that I am not ok..." Spencer notices that his choice of wording wasn't right. He sighs, feeling bad. "Babe, you know that's not what I meant..."

"Well then, what the fuck did you mean?!" Liv asks, being annoyed. She starts to get up, walking back into the room, at this point being irritated by Spencer. He follows her, closing the balcony door and their bedroom door near them so that the kids won't wake up.

"Baby, I'm just trying to understand you. That's all I'm trying to do. I'm trying to understand why are you doing this. Why are you like this? You're having migraines, you're crying in your sleep, you're tired most days and for the past few days, you've been sitting alone out in the cold." Olivia rolls her eyes, crossing her arms.

"Oh, I don't know. Maybe it's because of the trauma I've been facing for the past few months now!"

"Spencer, I can not walk back into that office, knowing that man's presence is there!"

"So, forget about him! Forget about all that! Take a breath and calm down. Realize that you have to move on from that!" Spencer saids, trying to give encouragement. But Olivia doesn't feel it. She shakes her head in disappointment, feeling like he's not getting the point. She hangs her head down, not saying anything, which worries Spencer.

"Like baby, please tell me what's going on..." Olivia doesn't say anything. He caresses both of her arms, eventually having Liv to let him hold her hands. "Baby, look at me. Please." Liv sighs before looking at him. She can see the worry in his eyes as he is genuinely trying to figure out what's going on with her.

"Just tell me so that I can help you." Olivia tearfully smiles.

"You can't."

Those words hurt Spencer. His tears started to well up. "But... baby I can..."

"You can't baby. And that's ok." Spencer shakes his head in denial. "No.. no..."

"I'm broken Spencer..." She finally admits.

"I've been broken for a long time. I've been depressed, scared and miserable ever since my ex came back into my life. And honestly all of that could have been avoided if I would've said something to you." Spencer hangs his head down, sighing. He didn't want to hear this again. He lets go of her hands, pacing around the room.

"Stop Liv! Please stop saying that! I don't want to talk about this again!"

"Why? Are you afraid that I'm going to hit you where it hurts? Oh wait, looks like someone already did." Spencer freezes, then glances at her, feeling the most offended. Liv keeps an annoyed face but on the inside, she feels the most regret right now after saying what she said. Just then...

That's right baby, give it to him. He deserves it by taking you from me...

Oh I love it when you're mad...
