chapter 136
Once outside the police station where Damon was incarcerated, Olivia waited for Maggie to come and explain the whole thing to her, because she couldn’t go in without knowing what had motivated her to do such a thing.
Maggie was still in shock that she couldn’t leave her house. It was Olivia who’d spoken to her on the phone, but she didn’t want to believe it was her at all, because it was just impossible – she’d disappeared, unless it was a ruse on the part of her kidnapper to mock her.
In the half hour she’d been here, Maggie hadn’t shown up, and she was tired of waiting while everyone coming in and out kept looking at her as if she’d gone astray, maybe she had, and if she was in front of the police station, maybe it was because she wanted someone to tell her what was wrong.
Tired of waiting, she took out her phone again and was surprised when the caller told her she was still at home, so she hadn’t even moved. Olivia was angry to find herself on the outside she didn’t want to be, so she intended to sulk the person behind this charade for a while.
-Finally you’re here,” she’d said as Maggie got off the bike.
Maggie said nothing and moved towards her, touching her cheek and even her arm as she pressed down. It wasn’t her fault, but she was afraid it was just her hologram or even a dream on her part, but she could feel that she had bones under her flesh. Even that evidence wasn’t enough for her to know it was Olivia.
-Maggie had asked her, “How long have we been best friends?
Olivia squinted at her; she hadn’t expected this kind of questioning, and the look on Maggie’s face was proof that she was suspicious of her.
-Maggie, listen…
-Answer my question.
-next month we’ll be friends for eight years. But what’s happening to you? I’m not happy to be out, so can you tell me what’s going on? who said I was missing and who filed the complaint against Damon?
-and now we’re back to the real question. Who said you were missing and who pressed charges against Damon Dixon? Well, I did. I thought we were friends. Not laughing friends but even crying friends, you know what I mean? I understand that you were hurt after hearing all that truth from him, but I’d have preferred you to sit on my shoulders and let me cry with you, Olivia. That’s what friends are for, you know, to be there for each other. You stay laughing with me and when I should be with you when you’re hurting, you disappear.
Olivia was surprised to hear him say this. She hadn’t said anything to him, and she couldn’t think of anyone who had. She took a few steps back to avoid the anger she could see in his eyes. She was really angry and she wasn’t going to escape.
-How do you know?
-It’s been two days Olivia, two days that I’ve been trying to reach you, that I’ve been coming to your apartment and I can’t find you, your bed is always unmade as if someone had taken you away in your sleep so yes like a true friend I got worried and had to ask your neighbors who told me they’d seen a man outside your door every night for the last three days. I didn’t know who until they gave me a description that matched Damon Dixon’s perfectly, this man was practically sleeping outside your door so it was obvious to me that it was him.
Olivia was shaken by a new feeling. She’d thought Damon would have been content with simple calls and messages, she wouldn’t have believed he’d sacrifice his time to stay outside her door, yet he’d never knocked. She was glad to know it, but it didn’t change the anger inside her.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
-And how did you know he was here? Maggie asked.
-When it comes to a man as influential as Damon Dixon, news travels fast, so I was surprised to learn that this arrogant, hateful man had kidnapped me, because if he had, I’d have taught him a lesson.
Maggie was already feeling guilty. Her madness had pushed her to do anything, and now a good part of the world knew that Damon was a psychopath. She already knew he’d get his revenge once he was out of there, but first she had to get him out. Detective Carter had warned her, but she hadn’t listened.
-Is everything all right, Maggie?
-I think it’s my turn to ask you this question, but we’ll talk about it later, it would be better to get this man out now. After all, he got what he deserved for what he did to you, even if he’s innocent.
A revenge that didn’t satisfy Olivia. She didn’t want to believe that he had suffered a single moment in this place because of her.
