Life As We Know It

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Escape Plans

Olivia moaned in pain as her father looked at her concerned, it was clear what was happening but Gavin refused to allow them to seek Medical attention.

It had ben week since Olivia had been abducted, it was now the late September and her due date was fast approaching.

However that no longer matter since it was clear that the baby wanted out and Olivia was now in labour; she gritted her teeth as another contraction it.

“She needs to go to the hospital,” Phillip said as he looked at Gavin who rolled his eyes, he turned his attention back to the television which was talking about Olivia’s abduction and that they had no leads.

Olivia listened as much as she could to the report, she wished that she could just speak with Lionel; he hadn’t been seen since her abduction and hadn’t played in any of Barcelona’s games since she had been taken.

“Idiots,” Gavin muttered as he got up and moved to make himself a drink as the police on the television begged if anyone saw Gavin or Phillip to contact them immediately.

“They really think I’m that stupid to stay where people could easily find me,” Gavin chuckled while Olivia flinched in pain; her contractions where getting closer together and she was scared.

Olivia licked her lips as she looked at her ex-fiancé who was turning the television off, she had to do this if she wanted to escape him.

“Gavin, is there any chance we could go to the nearest shop for some strong pain killers?” Olivia asked softly making him look at her, she felt sick at speaking to him but she had a plan.

This was the first time that she had spoken to him since he had abducted her with her father, whom she also hadn’t spoken to.

Gavin stared at her for a moment before he nodded excitedly as if thinking she had forgiven him for what he had done; he collected his keys and helped her to her feet.

Phillip looked at his daughter wondering what she was planning as Gavin glared at him, he knew that there was no way that Olivia was falling back in love with the lawyer.

“Come along… we’re going for a drive,” Gavin said with a cheerful voice; it was clear that the lawyer was losing his grip on his sanity.

Olivia looked at her father, who watched her as they left the cabin where they had been staying in the Montserrat mountain range.

Olivia blinked as the natural sunlight greeted her eyes for the first time in days; she glanced around trying to get a good idea of where she was.

Lionel sat quietly in the living room of his home, his mother watching him sadly as she set a cup of coffee in front of him; however her youngest son didn't look at her.

Celia sighed as she looked at her husband, they were worried about him; he wasn’t coping with Olivia’s abduction.

“Leo sweetheart… would you like something to eat?” Celia offered with a small smile; however Lionel shook his head as he continued to stare at the wall in front of him.

Celia stared at her son worried, if they didn't find the brunette soon, she didn't know what her son would do.

“Por favor Lionel,” Celia begged him but he didn't respond to lost in his own thoughts to care, his mother looked at her husband; but there wasn’t anything that they could do.

Celia walked away from her son as tears filled her eyes, she looked at Jorge who sighed and pulled her into a hug; Rodrigo sighed as he watched his youngest brother.
