Olivia POV
“Olivia don't do that” - Raphael tells me
“What?” - I ask now facing him.
How can he do this to me? Take me away from my family when I need them the most?
“Don’t you walk away from me, I am doing this for you, for Mike” - he says and I can see he is being honest. Deep down I know if he had another choice he would take it.
“I know” - I tell him now playing with my fingers and moving my ring around my finger.
“I know it’s hard for you” - he says. But does he? I don’t think he does. I don’t think he realises how hard this is going to be for me. I don’t know anyone. I don’t speak the language.
“No you don’t, if you did you wouldn’t have asked me to do this” - I tell him while I walk to our bedroom.
Once inside I close the door behind me and I sit on the edge of the bed. I place both my hands on my baby bump.
“I am sorry baby” - I say
I sit there looking out of the big window for a few minutes and then I get up and walk to the bathroom. I need a shower to relax and a shower always helps me put my thoughts back where they belong.
I turn on the water and I take my clothes off. I walk into the shower and I take a deep breath. I stay there for what seemed hours and when I got out my skin was all red by the hot water. I wrap a towel around my body and brush my teeth.
I walk to the dressing room and grab a silk nightgown and I slip on silk underwear that matches the nightgown.
Once I’m finished I walk back into the bedroom and Raphael is sitting on the bed looking at me.
I walk past him and I crawl into bed.
“Are you going to ignore me?”
“I am not ignoring you” - I say
“Olivia baby, please look at me” - he says and I feel his hand on my hip.
“I am tired” - I say not turning to look at him.
“Olivia please we have to talk about this, I am only doing this for your safety”
“I am safe here” - I tell him
“No you are not, you saw what they did to mom’s house”
I sit on the bed and face him.
“We have so much security here, I never go out, why wouldn’t I be safe here?”
“Olivia, I need you to understand that I don’t want anything to happen to you or our baby girl”
“Nothing is going to happen”
“We don’t know that, I can’t risk it” - he says and I take a deep breath.
I lay back down again, talking to him is the same as talking to a brick wall.
“Olivia” - he says
