TRIGGER WARNING!!! Mentions of the sexual assault!!
I stood under the hot water, my drenched hair was stuck onto my back and water droplets kept stinging my eyes. But I didn't care. My body was numb to the feeling as I allowed it to continue. Because it was preoccupied with what happened a few hours ago.
My throat was hoarse from the sobbing I did all the way back to Liam's bachelor pad. Harry was quiet beside me as he drove. He didn't dare utter a single word to me. I was glad he didn't speak. I didn't want to talk to him. I didn't want to talk to anyone.
I finally reached over and pushed the water off when I heard knocking against the door.
"Olivia? Are you okay?" Harry's voice sounded muffled through the door. "Olivia?"
"I'm fine." I replied. The last thing I needed was him to barge through and see me naked.
My answer seemed to have satisfied him because I had his footsteps walk away. I sighed and got out of the shower. I might as well dry myself now.
My mind was jumbled. I didn't want to think of what would've happened if Harry hadn't kicked open the door like he did. Tears pricked my eyes as I stared at myself from the mirror. I seemed so weak and broken. The past few weeks had changed me. I was no longer that school girl who was kidnapped from the bus stop.
I couldn't help but feel like what had happened to me was planned. To my knowledge I was only meant to seduce Jason Ambasso for a while. I did that. And Liam didn't appear. Why was Harry the only one who appeared? He came late but still he came.
Where was Liam?
It was hard to believe that Liam would pass the opportunity to put a bullet into Jason's head. Liam would have wanted to be the one to kill Jason because of the massive ego he had. I bit my lip deep in thought as I wiggles myself into the fluffy robe.
When I opened the door my eyes met with Harry's. His green eyes bore into mine with such intensity that I didn't want to look away. His usual sarcastic expression was replaced with one of worry. He hadn't said any sexual remarks during the drive when usually he would.
"Liam wants to see you. Get dressed." He whispered before walking away from me.
I rushed into my room to get myself dressed. I needed to see Liam. I needed answers from him. No matter how much I didn't want to talk about what happened to me I need answers because I wouldn't be able to sleep otherwise. My mind would just keep running and running coming up with every single possibility. It would drive me insane.
I walked out of my room and appeared in the living room. Liam was holding a glass of whatever. His eyes snapped over to me and I could see the stress that was over his face.
"Olivia."
He pointed to the seat next to him. I slowly approached him and sat. I wanted to know what he needed to say to me. I realised then that Harry was nowhere in sight which was really odd because he would literally be attached to Liam. Everywhere Liam went Harry was there. And everywhere Harry went Liam was there.
"Are you scared now?" His voice cut through my thoughts. I furrowed my eyebrows and looked at him in confusion. He read my expression and smirked. "I hope you understand what just happened to you."
"What are you talking about?" I asked softly. What the hell is he trying to tell me? Hope I understand what? The fact that I nearly got raped? I could never understand that! I knew I basically suggested that we do something sexual but it was on Liam's orders and I was never going to go through anything sexual with Ambasso because he was meant to be dead as soon as we were alone!
"I allowed what just happened to you. Every little thing that happened was on my orders." He took a sip from his glass. "Do you see how much control I have over you? How much control I have over everyone?"
His words finally made sense in my mind. Tears formed in my eyes as he continued. "I allowed you to nearly be raped. You were supposed to but you can thank Harry for that."
"How .. what?" I couldn't form proper sentences.
"I own you Olivia. I just want you to understand that. We can never be a family until you understand that. I'm trying to teach you what my father should've taught your mother. You can never escape me. I own everyone in someway."
"Now before you think I lied to you about proving yourself to me darling. You have. You followed my orders perfectly. You led a man on my orders and seduced him. So don't think that this was a waste."
He reached forward and grabbed my neck tightly and moved it closer to his face. "You're the only family I have Olivia. I did that so I can trust you."
"You're insane.." I managed to spew out. "You're fucking insane.."
He smiled and wiped a tear that fell from my eye. "I have you now. I'm not alone anymore. My baby sister is with me.. no one can tear us away.."
"No.." I cried. "You're still alone.. you don't have me.."
"You and I we're the same." He continued. He moved my face closer now so that our foreheads touched. "I'm not alone Olivia. I'm not."
I closed my eyes and allowed my emotions to overwhelm me as Liam held my shaking body. His arm wrapped around my waist and he pulled me closer to his chest.
"We're the same Olivia." He mumbled into my ear making me let out a loud sob. He stroked my back in a gentle manner that I didn't think he was capable of as I cried onto his shoulder.
