One month after the court hearing Osborne was sentenced to death. His parents were there to witness their son paying for his sins. They lost both sons for their own mistakes.
Olivia seek for forgiveness from her parents, they forgave her. She was their only child and couldn't abandon her. She followed her career path of modelling and interior design. She was forever indebted to Vicky for saving her life, they became best of friends as they worked together.
One year later, Freda and Elvis are planning their wedding. Everyone was soo excited, Jim angrily stared at Olivia as she talked.
" Vicky won the show, can you imagine. So after your wedding we have two weeks trip to Germany. If not for Vicky I wouldn't have gotten this opportunity. And do you know what," Jim cut in.
" Vicky has made your life soo great to the extent that you can't stop taking his name. Every second Vicky, Vicky... Olive we've had enough" Elvis asked him to cool down, Olivia was confused.
" Man what's wrong with you, don't talk to her like that" Staring at Olivia he got up and left. Freda asked
" Did you guys have a fight, this isn't him"
" I didn't fight him, why is he soo angry? Did I say something bad right now" she shook.
In the evening when everyone had gone to sleep Olivia saw Jim seated at the hall. She came over to sit with him. Seeing her he stood up but she stopped him.
" Jim stop this, what did I do? Why are you soo angry and ignoring me. And even if I did some this silence wouldn't tell me my faults. Please talk to me"
He held him from leaving still but he jerked her away.
" Olive don't Fucking play with me okay. This childishness must stop. What's the point, you like him right?" She wasn't convinced yet.
" it's obvious because not even a second will pass without you mentioning his name. Hearing his name has began to sound like a curse to me. If you like him why don't you go for him and leave me alone"
He left her to wonder to herself.
The next morning Olivia and Freda set the table for breakfast as Elvis and Jim talked at the hall. Freda asked if she knew what was happening to Jim. She hissed
" Can you imagine, he has no proof yet he's angry. He thinks I like Vicky and hates me mentioning his name always. Vicky even has a girlfriend and he has no idea yet he wouldn't ask. He thinks he's the only one in love, such a jerk" Freda laughed.
" You know you guys should just confess your feelings and stop this drama. Not yet a couple and you fight like chickens." Olivia threw a snack at her.
Two days later, all gathered planning on the wedding. Olivia and Jim disagreed on everything. They stressed thing for them. Freda got fed up, banging the table she got up.
" You both need to stop this, for 30 good minutes and nothing seems to go forward. Jim, please swallow that anger and jealous. If you like her why don't you tell her and stop making up issues. If you have any uncertainty just ask her and stop this bullshit" Olivia nodded.
" And you why are you stressing him, voicing out his feelings isn't clear but you know what he wants to say. Admit you like him too and stop making him jealous always. You guys better get together and help me organise my wedding. If I'm making sense someone please speak up" It took seconds before Jim spoke.
" I think the pink will look good on her, I'll agree with the black suit also." They all smiled. Freda sat down. Olivia and Jim smiled at each other.The wedding took place after three weeks. Freda was the most happiest on earth and she was finally together with the man of her dreams. They had a brunch party after the honeymoon. They sat outside to feel the morning sun. Olivia gave a wonderful speech.
" Congratulations to the newest couples in town. I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone, it's overwhelming to know I have people like you around me. A toast to you Elvis, supportive and encouraging friend. Jim, my love, teaching me how to love myself and love others too. My best friend, Freda. A friend like no other who's like a sister to me. She doesn't give up, a fighter and a lifesaver. I'm grateful to everyone of you, thanks for being part of my life. To Us!!!!" They toasted to themselves, With Olivia and Jim sharing a kiss.The End!!!!
