As she stood up and left my room, I cussed at the sudden loneliness that followed her departure.
I sensed someone enter my room the moment Livy left and I knew just who it was. The evilness and balefulness that filled the once conducive air could only emit from one person- Sophia.
“Damn, Markian. I almost got chills at the end of that excellent performance of yours. I must say, I’ve never seen you this desperate to protect anything other than your reputation and that of your company. But, it turned out that I was right about Livy and now you see her for who she really was” she cited calmly.
“No. It’s you I’ve finally seen for what you truly are, but I’ll make you pay for all of these- I swear it. Mark my words.” I replied intensely.
“Oh Arky, I’ve got nothing to lose. But you honey, you can’t touch me, not unless you are prepared to risk the lives of your beloveth wife and child. (Inhales)… Ark, I don’t like these more than you do but what else can I do? Olivia has so much to pay for. She took all that I had, it’s only fitting I get it all back. So, just keep playing your part in keeping them alive, if not I might just break my own promise. Have a lovely night my love, do dream of me ok?” She requested with a laughter.
The sound of her villainy laughter resounded even after she left my room and shutting the door behind her.
Like hell I’ll let Sophia win, I’ll never let that happen. I may have a lot to lose, but I also have so much to gain. I’ll rather die than let Sophia succeed in hurting my family.
I stood up from the ground and hurried out of my room. I refused to think too much about what I was feeling right now, I just walked down the hallow hallway all the way to Livy’s room. If I go down, I’ll go down fighting for the woman I love- who I want by my side for a very long time.
As I got to Livy’s room, I pushed the door open and quickly scanned the room for her. The moment I found her on the floor at the foot of her bed, I let my heart take control and I hurriedly towards her.
I could see the surprise in her eyes as well as the tears that made their way down to her neck.
It’s ok my Love, I know you don’t think I can protect you, but I’ll or I’ll die trying.
So, I fell to the ground where she sat crying and with everything I had, I kissed her so intensely- letting all my feelings show.
My anger, fear, disappointment as well as the strength she gives me and my undying love for her, I let it all out.
I could feel her trying to control her own emotions but unsuccessfully, she let them spill as she kissed me back with equal passion. I couldn’t help the smile that tug on my lips at the thought that, Livy wanted me as much as I wanted her.
I pulled away from the kiss and I cupped her face as I looked into her confused eyes.
“Markian, I…” she started but I stopped her.
“You’ve suffered enough my Love, but I promise you I’ll put an end to all these as soonest.” I reassured confidently before kissing her again with an insatiable hunger.
Forgive me Livy. I may have failed you in not being able to restore your faith in me and in keeping you close at times, but I won’t fail to protect you and our unborn child this time, I swear on life.
