The Psychopath
    Olivia Johnson fell in love with this man called Osborne when she was still in high school. She was blinded by love and couldn't see the future her parents planned for her. Not only did she stop schooling but moved in to stay with him as his wife. Osborne was a medical doctor and he provided all her needs.
  Two years ago, Olivia's best friend Freda paid her a visit. Olivia was happy to see her, she welcomed her to her new home. Freda was still confused on her sudden change and love for riches. As they talked Freda pleaded with her to put a stop to the life she's chosen. Olivia was convinced her friend was only jealous of her and she only wanted to take her place. She asked Freda out of her house as she was happy with the life she was living. With her friends insistence she still wouldn't give in. Osborne then poisoned her mind not to involve herself with such people.Olivia broke tides with everyone calling them her past life.
  But in some months of her relationship she realised Osborne was soo obsessed with her. He started showing his insecurities of her, gets angry when she goes out. He later asked her not to leave the house as he would get her all she wanted. She was okay with all his decisions until one day he got back home and found her speaking with a delivery guy. He was really angry, locked her up in the room.She also decided to punish him by depriving him of intimacy. This went on for a long time realising Osborne being a drug addict. Little things started upsetting him. He then forced himself on her and would also hit her.
Olivia was okay when he apologised the next morning. Over the years he's attitude became more complicated, fighting people who came close to her. He was soo abusive despite how much he loved her.
   When Olivia asked for a breakup he refused threatening her life and everyone close to her. She wanted to endure all the pain but his abhorring behaviour drew her away. He was also cheating on her with some mysterious girls.
She had lost hope and was scared also. She gathered courage and called Freda who rushed to her aid.

Coming into the house she confronted Osborne with a slap. She insulted and cursed him. Accusing him of abusing her friend he denied. He asked Olivia to say the truth and send her friend away but she remained quiet. Freda took her hand but Osborne tried stopping them. Freda threatened him with the police only when did he allow them to leave.
Freda took Olivia in her house, she was really worried about her. The poor girl was scared to death and all she needed was to rest. Freda looked after her the whole day without any regret.
The next morning was a Saturday, Olivia woke up by the aroma from the kitchen. Coming out she found Freda setting up the table. She smiled and wished her a beautiful morning.
" Come here Olly, I made your special meal. Assorted noddles with plenty sausages. Come..." She sat down quietly, they began to eat. Along the way Olivia finally broke the silence.
" Aren't you going to say the magic words?" She looked on confused. " I told you so" Freda smiled at her.She spoke calmly
" It won't change anything but will only worsen your situation right now. Olly my love for you is greater than the pain you put me through. I've always wanted you happy, welcome back home."
  Olivia could only apologise and thank her. Freda promised to protect and take care of her and she shouldn't worry about that psychopath.
