Chapter 78: Love Surface

Olivia's Pov

“Can you just lose this from my body before you continue. It hurt.” I shouted before Davis left him to lose the ropes Marcus had tied around my body. “How dare he do this to you.” Davis muttered.

Davis winced all the ropes on my body. I could see the marks it left on my body. I stood up and gave Marcus a slap. Davis held my hand. “How are you feeling, you're hurt, let's go.”

“Not until I teach this guy a lesson.” I said.

“Just let him be, it seems you're shaking up a bit.” Davis said.

We walked to the car and I was relieved. “Jeez, you won't believe what that guy was saying, he threatened me to leave you or else he would kill me. He wants me to be with him.” my voice was barely above a whisper.

“How will he do this to someone he calls a friend? I told you not to go with him but you didn't listen to me, you walked out of me.” Davis said.

“I'm sorry about that, I'm safe now and that's all that matters.” I held his arms tightly.

“No way, you know me better than this, I can't let this slide, he dares to threaten the woman I love.” Davis was boiling in anger. I knew how protective Davis was and he wasn't gonna let go. I wished he was going to listen to me.

As soon as we got home, I told Davis I wanted to stay on the couch for a while while he left for the room. I quickly brought out my phone to call Rebbeca. “Hey, what's up.” Rebbeca said,

“I'm doing fine, you won't believe what happened today. So Marcus decided to meet with me but Davis said he was going with me. So we met at the beach and this guy tried to kill me telling me he wanted to talk to me without Davis hearing our discussion and I fell for his trap.” I sighed.

“This is serious, you need to stay away from him.” Rebbeca said.

“I had no idea Marcus could think of doing something like that.” I said.

I sighed. “I am trying to calm Davis down, he's furious right now.”

“He should be.” Rebbeca said.

“I just need to be careful around him now but I still need to question him.” I said, standing up from the couch. It was nice talking to Rebbeca.


Emily's Pov

I just got a message from my dad that he was finally getting married. I called him quickly. “Hey dad, tell me you ain't joking.”

“What makes you think I'm joking? Make sure you come back during the weekend. I tell my private pilot to come pick you up with my private jet.” My dad said.

“I'm so happy Dad, I can only imagine the smile on Olivia's face now.” I said.

“I haven't proposed to her yet, I'm still looking for the perfect time.” He said.

I laughed. “Really Dad, you haven't proposed to her yet you fixed a date for the wedding already, who does that.”

“Besides, I was looking for the perfect time.” He said.

“Exactly, you just want to get married all of a sudden, it's strange, I thought you both loved the way things were.” I said, laughing.

“How romantic, I really can't wait to come back this weekend and give Olivia a big hug.” I said, smiling.

“There's something I wanted to tell you, Olivia was almost killed today by Marus, he threatened her to leave me for him or else he'd kill her. Thank goodness I got there on time to save her. That's one of the reasons I want this marriage so fast.” He said.

“This is serious. Who does he think he is.” I said, angrily. “But I'm glad you both are safe.”

“Yeah, Olivia just walked in now.” He said.

“Alright send my regards to her, okay?” I said, before ending the call.

I still couldn't believe that Marcus could do that to olivia. I thought they weren't in touch for years, why did he decide to do that after seeing her. “Is just a bastard.” I muttered.

I'm just relieved that nothing happened to them. I didn't want to lose anyone again for the second time and I don't want my dad to be sad. Since he met Olivia, she has always brightened his mood so nothing's gonna change that for them.

Just then, my phone rang. I picked it up and it was Mason calling. “Hey, pretty, can you go out on a date with me today?” He asked.

“Nah, I don't think that is possible.” I said, I quickly mute the call. “Guess who is asking me for a date.” I said to Vivian.

She looked at me curiously before I told her it was Marcus. “So why aren't you going?”

“I don't think I'm ready to come between him and Tiffany.” I said before unmuting the call.

“Are you there?” Mason asked.

“Yeah, I told you I can't.” I said, rolling my eyes.

He paused for a few seconds. “Why not? Is it because of Tiffany?”

“I'm not scared of her but I can't come between you both Mason, please let's remain friends.” I said, Vivian looked at me not sure if I knew what I was saying. I pretended I didn't see that look on her face.

Mason took a deep breath. “Alright, it's fine if you won't go out on a date with me but can I ask you something?”

“What's that?” I asked.

“I wanted to hear your opinion about Tiffany and I. Do you think we are really meant to be?” He asked.

I was confused. Why will he be asking me that? I didn't want to sound rude to him. “Yeah, I think so.”

“You really think so? Are you sure about that?” He asked, curiously.

I knew Tiffany was not good for him but It wasn't my business, I don't know why he was asking me. If I'm to say anything I was going to hurt his feelings.

“Are you scared of telling me the truth?” He asked.

I sighed. “Of course not, but I feel you should know that.”

“What’s that?” He asked, coughing.

Well I thought I should just let him know. “I feel you deserve someone who values you, I witnessed Tiffany slapping you on several occasions. Do you think someone who loves you will do that to you? I think you deserve a better person Mason.

There was a pause for a while. “Are you saying Tiffany isn't the best for me?”

“I think you have an answer to that.” I said.

“I sure do, thanks for being honest with me.” He said.

I hoped I had not hurt him in any way. “I'm sorry if what… .”

He interrupted, “Don't say that, you said it all and I appreciate that.”

I ended the call after that. I took a deep breath. “Jeez, why was he asking me all of that, what is he up to?” I muttered.

Vivian who was engrossed in the novel she was reading stood up as she walked towards my bed. “Are you okay?”

“Sure, he was just asking a lot of questions.” I said, putting on the AC because the room was hot.
