GALEN:“You can’t do this,’’ I stepped forward. “I think we just did. My wife and I support Olivia’s decision. You are a horrible husband and getting away from you is what’s best for her.’’I looked back at my father, who had already excused himself to make some phone calls. “I want to speak to her myself.’’ “No!’’ His voice was high and firm. “You’ve already caused enough damage.’’ “Guards!’’ I called out for my security detail, who came running in the next second. “How do you want to do this, Michael?’’ I challenged him, “My guards are going to pull you away from that door at my command. But it doesn’t have to go that way.’’ A couple of nurses were already ogling at us. I didn’t like making a scene. But I needed to see my wife, and I was prepared to do it whatever means necessary. My father in law signaled for his men to step aside, and to which they obliged. Olivia's family and mine were united in business and in marriage. However, there was this minimal rivalry between us.
Olivia’s POV“Girl, you should have seen his face.’’ Jessie laughed, “I’ve never seen that man more shocked and embarrassed.’’“Come on, it had to be done. This was for the betterment of both companies.’’“And I'm not petitioning against that; I’m just saying it doesn’t hurt to enjoy his suffering.’’ “I know.’’ I shrugged, as I folded my dress. “But I have been where he is right now - it's not a pretty feeling.’’ “The difference between you two is that you didn’t fuck someone else just for the fun of it. He can barely keep it in his pants.” Jessie spoke, and I saw her point. “Glad to see he’s never changed.’’ “And he’s not going to either. The same fuck boy he was five years ago still lives on.’’ She shrugged, “It’s a shame that even this marriage couldn’t tame that part of him.’’ “Come on, Jessie,’’ I chuckled, “A marriage can’t stop him any more than chains to his legs can. My husband is a dog, heck, he fucked a woman in our bed one hour before our marriage just to get back at
OLIVIA:“Don’t get in my way today.’’ I scoffed. “If you did your job right, I wouldn’t have too.’’ Galen bellowed. “I'm serious. There is no reason why today shouldn’t go easy. It’s the first day, the employee loyalties haven’t been divided. We can work together on this.” My husband remained silent for a minute during the drive. “I agree with this. This is what we have been preparing for.”“Wrong. It’s what you’ve been preparing for. I don’t need to be prepared for a damn thing, I’m naturally good at this.’’“Is that what you told yourself when you slept with almost half my friend group in highschool?’’ My eyes jerk towards him in an instance. “For the last FUCKING time, I did not sleep with your little football club.’’ “For a self righteous person always claiming to never do wrong, you disgust me, darling wife.’’ His words didn't carry the same weight they always did. Instead, I was fed up. “We’re almost there, How about you shut up for the rest of the ride.’’ I rolled my e
OLIVIA:“I can’t believe him!’’ I threw my purse on the sofa, as I slumped behind my desk, feeling angry and frustrated. “Mrs Grunt, Please…’’“Mrs Olivia,’’ I corrected him with a stern look, “My husband’s name doesn’t need to come in everytime someone addresses me.’’ Marco placed some papers on my desk. “And what’s this, Marco?’’ “It’s Marcus.’’ He corrected shyly.“That’s cute, but you look more like a marco, you know, like Marco Polo or Peter Pan.” I laughed slightly, while he smiled nervously. I had never had an assistant before, I wasn't handling this the way I was supposed to. “Did my husband pick the pink flowers?” I asked and to which he nodded. Galen knew how much I hated pink flowers. He did this to personally irritate me. “What about the overall arrangement and decor of this office? This is far different from what I sent in.”“I'm sorry, Mrs Grunt.. Sorry, I mean, Mrs Olivia. But Mr Grunt sent in a new arrangement plan last night and requested we ignore the first one.’
OLIVIA:In the flash of a second, Galen put himself between my father and I. I stared at him, feeling confused but a little relieved. My father was a man who was short tempered. He had a heavy hand, one which he never hesitated to use.“This is between my daughter and I!’’ He roared, “Get out of the way, Grunt!’’ “With all due respect, she is not just your daughter. She’s also my wife!’’ “Galen, I…"“I won’t listen to it!’’ my husband cut him off, “You’ve been nothing but terrible to Olivia back at home, I won’t allow you to bring that experience here as well.’’ A short moment of silence coupled with intense eye contact followed. I could tell what either of them were thinking. “Do you know what she did?’’ My father let out as he stepped back. “She lost us a major clientele. She slapped him.’’“Who?’’ “MacGuire&proprerties limited!’’ My husband turned to look back at me. He raised a brow, before turning back to my dad. “I understand, I’d like to speak to my wife now!’’“You’ve g
OLIVIA:I watched silently as he zipped up his pants, “that was amazing.’’ He let out with shallow breaths. Before I knew it, Galen walked over to me before proceeding to kiss me passionately. Suddenly, the door burst open, and we both turned.The door was rammed shut before I had a second to react. I pulled myself down from my table as I pushed my husband away.“What the hell is he doing here?’’ I had Galen reacting behind me, as I headed for the door. Ashern was standing right in the hallway, pacing around with a clenched fist. The minute he saw me, he started walking towards me with this angry expression on his face. “You didn't love him. What the hell are you kissing him?” He spoke angrily. “Kissing, you two were kissing?’’ My father was suddenly all over my face. He appeared out of nowhere, alongside my husband’s father.“Dad, please…’’ I let out. “Ashern, it’s none of your business what my husband and I…’’“Don’t give me that bullshit rehearsed answer.’’“Hey!’’ my father exc
GALEN’S POV“Galen.” Olivia called out to me, as she broke down. I walked slowly. Putting my hands up in surrender, as my eyes connected to the assailant’s. “Whatever is going on, we can talk about it.” I stated, slowly approaching him. I could tell that he was a white man, medium build, a little shorter than me but with a perfect grip of the pistol in his hands. He kept it steadily aimed at my wife who was now and was close to losing her mind. “You always think you can get away with ruining people’s lives.” He rumbles. “I don't know what you're talking about!”“THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!’’ His anger rose. “ Erything is falling apart because of you… because you cannot keep it in your pants!’’My brows furrow as I step forward. He moves his foot instinctively backwards but his gun remains aimed at Olivia. My heart was beating at such a fast rate that I thought I would fall and die. I didn't want Olivia to get hurt. she was still nursing the injury of her previous gunshot wound while
Galen’s POV“Again, thank you so much for coming, Richard.” I shook his hand again, before leading him into the conference room. I noticed his hesitance but I smiled politely. “You have to understand why my company will not conduct business with you, Galen. It's nothing personal, but we do not take lightly the disrespect that your wife showed me.”“I completely understand, Richard and that's why I have invited you here to personally apologize for it. please sit down.” He settled into the seat across from me. I pushed my files out of my face before staring directly at him. "Richard, we are friends, right?" I asked and he shook his head. "But friendship cannot get in the way of business.""I completely understand. I'm just hoping that for the sake of our friendship, we can put this Petty argument away and do business like we planned to.""I am a reasonable man, Galen, but I do not take disrespect lightly. What your wife did was..”“Despicable.” I finished the sentence. “She is sorry
