Chapter 328
OLIVIA
As I sat there not knowing what to do, I began to think that Luke was right about not telling Marcus anything, Anyway, I didn’t tell him anything, he found out on his own and was now angry. I didn’t know who his anger was directed. It was not like I did anything wrong; Ethan was the one who kissed me.
I didn’t kiss him back, why did I have to act as if I had done something wrong. I stood with a newly found determination; I wasn’t about to sleep on the couch or guest bedroom when I had a perfectly comfortable bed. I climb the stairs, even my steps were those of a confident woman.
I opened the door to our room and my husband was nowhere to be found. But then I heard the shower running. Usually, I would have joined him in the shower, but I didn’t think he would have appreciated that on that particular day.
I sat uncomfortably on the bed waiting for him to finish so could take my shower as well before going to bed. When the shower stopped running, my nerves returned, my palms got sweaty and sticky. Damnit, what happened to the confidence I had coming up those stairs?
He came in with only a towel covering his lower half. I swallowed hard with my throat suddenly getting dry. ” Don’t look at me like that if you know I am not the one you are actually looking at.” Everything went out the window when he said that, and I stood.
“I get that you are angry, but I will not tolerate being spoken to in that manner. Ethan kissed me, I did nothing to provoke it, I don’t appreciate you insinuating I did. If you don’t believe me then there is nothing, I can do about that. But I will not be spoken to like that, not by you. Nick was the first and the last man to do that.”
I then stormed off and got into the bathroom. I meant to apologise to him, I might not have done anything wrong, but he got hurt and I was his wife. I had to make him feel better, to assure him that something like that would never happen again.
I was going to do all that but not anymore. He pissed me off by saying that to me as if I asked Ethan to kiss me or kissed him back. He was acting like a victim when I was the victim in the story.
I heard the shower door opening and I turned. Marcus stepped into the shower, I just looked at him waiting for him to say something. But he said nothing, he looked at me for a while before pulling me into his arms, holding me tight.
“Mine, you hear me? you are mine Olivia.” I said nothing, there was nothing to say. Being his didn’t mean he could talk to me anyhow. I was not about to tolerate that kind of behaviour. “Olivia?” still, I kept my mouth shut.
He pulled out and looked at me. “I know all of them mean a lot to you, but something is got to give Olivia, I can’t tolerate this anymore. First it was Nick, I know you did nothing to provoke it just like now, but he didn’t respect me as your husband or our marriage. Now that Nick is moving on, Ethan is starting his own shit as well.”
