OLIVIA FOX [Completed]

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Thanks for reading.
*******************

The breakfast was good.
“Now I know why Orlando is such a good cook. He takes after you.” I am in the kitchen with Mrs. Beth and I am doing the dishes. This kitchen is white. All I see is white. The door is white. The ceiling is white. All the kitchen cabinets are white.
“He loves the kitchen. Always have. Olivia?” Beth takes my hand. “There is something so different about Orlando and I know it’s because of you. Thank you. Can you do me a favor?”
“Anything.”
“Always take care of him. You love him. Right?”
“With all my heart.”
“He loves you too. I see it in the way he looks at you. He is lucky.”
“I’m the lucky one. My life was in shambles when I met him and we haven’t even been together for so long and everything seems to have taken its place.”
“That’s what love does. It makes everything okay. It makes everything worth it. It strengthens you to fight life’s battles with courage.”
I think about Orlando and everything that has happened since we met and I know Beth is right.
“Welcome to the family Olivia.”
“Thank you Mrs. Beth.”
“Call me mom.”
I feel a bit awkward. “Thank you mom.”
I remember my mother. What would she think of Orlando if she were still alive? Would she also tell him to call her mom?
I go out to the balcony and I see Orlando. His short sleeve shirt is not buttoned I made him wear it and the wind is having fun with it. His hair is taken back by the sunglasses in it.
“Hi sexy.”
“Who? me?” I playfully look around me.
“Yes you Olivia. My girlfriend.” I kiss his forehead. His cheeks. And his lips.
“Come on. Let’s go to the beach.”

The ocean is beautiful. And serene.
“Do you know why I brought you here?”
“No?”
“Because you said you speak to the waters and you feel better about your problems.”
I smile. Orlando. Always so thoughtful.
“You want to see?”
“Yeah.”
“We have to get closer to the water.”
I grab Orlando’s hand and we get closer to the water. I bend and touch it. The water is warm. And calm.
“I’m okay. Things were so rough. I wanted to die. But then I met a man. Fate was not so cruel to me after all. He made me whole. Orlando. I love him. And I can say that I am happy.” I close my eyes for a few seconds.
“There. Done.” I stand on my feet.
“What did it say?”
“If you ever make her cry, I’ll hunt you down and make your life a living hell.”
“I’m so scared. Let’s go back to the house. You are freaking me out already.”
I laugh.

They are all in the sitting room when we get to the house. William is playing the piano and everybody is listening. It sounds really nice. I and Orlando sit and enjoy the melodies from the piano.
“Let’s get out of here.” Orlando whispers in my ear.
“After you.” I whisper back.
He takes my hand and we walk quietly. Unnoticed. To the bedroom.
“I need to be deep inside you right now.” Orlando says.
“Oh.”
He helps me undress. And I help him undress. We are naked. He kisses me, pushing his warm tongue inside my mouth. He fondles my breasts with both hands and suck and bites my nipples one at time. I want him. I want Orlando. I want all of him. Desire sweeps through me as I begin to breath heavily. He lifts me up and rests my back on the wall. I circle my legs around his waist. Tightly. So I won’t fall. He holds me firmly by the waist. He gets into me very slowly, hitting mind-blowing nerves as he goes. His hardness feels so glorious inside me. He begins thrusting. In and out. He is hitting everything that makes me Olivia and I know I will soon crumble. I clench my teeth because I do not want to be noisy. I do not want the whole house to know we are having sex. So I suppress my moans and screams by clenching my teeth. Orlando is still thrusting in and out. His whole length entering with each thrust in.
“Olivia. I’m coming baby.” He shuts his eyes tightly and throws his head back and I follow in quick succession. Trembling as I come.

“Did you love him? Your husband.” We are on the bed still naked but under the covers. Orlando is playing with my naked breasts.
“Yes. I loved him. I loved him but it seems he didn’t love me back else he wouldn’t have cheated on me.”
“More than you love me?”
“Orlando?”
“Answer me.”
“I have never loved any creature the way I love you.” I say with a smile.
“Creature huh.” He chuckles.
We sleep off. I can’t remember what we were talking about before we did.

I wake up and Orlando is still sleeping. I need to pee. I go to the toilet. I get dressed the moment I come out. Orlando’s laptop’s on the table. Maybe I could surf the Internet, read my mails or anything.
As I open the laptop, I notice Orlando’s email is open. I am about to close it but a mail in his inbox makes me not to. This is Mable’s email address. I click open the mail.

Making her fall in love with you was not part of the plan. Why won’t you just take the money and leave for good? We both know you are not capable of loving a woman. I have been with you remember? If you ever hurt Olivia, I will kill you.

Plan. What plan? Money. Oh God. My mind is telling me something but I refuse to believe. Blinking rapidly, I hurriedly read his reply.

Mable. Believe it or not I love Olivia. You are the one who needs to face her conscience. Tell Olivia the truth. Tell her you were her husband’s mistress. Paying someone to make her happy won’t erase the fact that you almost ruined her life.

I am still blinking rapidly and tears fall from my eyes. Mable was Cosmos’ mistress? How? She is my best friend. Mable is my best friend. No. Mable cannot be the reason why I lost my family. No. It can’t be true. I trust Mable. She would never do anything to hurt me. But the emails. Orlando. Him too? My God. I don’t understand. Liars. They are all liars. They are all bloody liars. Thoughts are flying in my head. Orlando is still sleeping. I have to get the hell out of here. Now Olivia. I take a paper and pen from the table.
YOU ARE A FUCKING LIAR. YOU AND MABLE WILL PAY FOR THIS.
I grab his car keys from the table and quietly leave the room.
“Olivia. Where are you rushing off to?” Beth looks worried. “Did something happen between you and Orlando?”
“I really have to go.”
“Why?” She asks and I do not reply.
“Did he tell you? About his accident? That made him forget everything for nearly a year.”
“Orlando was involved in an accident?”
“Yes. He didn’t tell you?”
“He didn’t and that’s not the only thing he has been hiding from me. I’m sorry Mrs. Beth but I can’t face your son right now. I really have to go.”
I storm off. I enter his car, start the ignition and drive off.
