48 Merry Christmas Eve (2/2)
Eli turned to Olivia and gave her some rolled paper with a ribbon tied around it.Olivia gently slid off the ribbon and unrolled the paper, her eyes widened with excitement ”Eli are these what I think they are?!'Eli nodded ”If you don't like the initial design we can make some adjustments to make it absolutely perfect but I want to have them break the ground by late spring.”
Edmond moved in closer and looked at the sheets of paper.”What is it?” he asked as he tried to pick up them up, Olivia slapped his hand away ”It's our matrimonial home!Hands off!” she yelled at Edmond.
She turned to look at Eli ”This is beautiful!Did you pick a location yet?Is this why you had the house listing booklet?How much time did you spend putting this together?When can we move it? Are we able to be involved in the whole process,?Do you have a material list yet?” Samantha groaned ”Fangirl Olivia is back... sweetie can we need to get going before your father sends out an army to get you.So lets talk in the car.”
”But we haven't eaten!” Olivia protested ”Well too bad we have a to leave, so eat and open more gifts in the car.” said coldly as she started to push her out of the kitchen. ”Oh...” Samantha said as she stopped pushing Olivia ”Congratulations on your engagement... and successfully 'gifting' yourself to Eli! ” she said with a laugh and hugged her tightly.

Olivia was now on the plane heading towards the Isles.She was flying out later then she was supposed too.Robin made sure that the plane was looked over prior to take off and they were shocked to find that the engine was not maintained and the regular pilot was replaced for the day.
Robin called Avery to tell him the news but he already knew the pilot was replaced.Apparently their regular had asked for his own vacation and Agni had hired a temp but said nothing about the engine.
Olivia looked out her window as the personal attendant offered her food and asked if she needed anything to drink.She politely refused both, she didn't have much of an appetite and it was probably better to safe then sorry.Who knew if Agni tampered with the food or drinks too and all she need right now was to be incapacitated.
When the plane landed it was already noon and she started to feel hungry.As she made her way through the terminal she spotted a B**ster Juice and thought it best to make a pit stop there.Two F*nky M*nkeys later she dragged herself towards the doors.
She looked around and saw no one.She didn't see anyone calling or waving at the arrivals area and figured she might as well look outside.It was hot and humid, the palm tree were standing tall and the grass was green but as she there was still no one in sight.
A taxi pulled up to her and a grimy looking man rolled down his window ”You Olivia Steel?” he asked her.Olivia shook her head no, the grimy man stepped out of the car and started to make his way to her, she started to nonchalantly walk away ”You look like Olivia Steel, your mom asked me to pick you up.” he said with a weird look in his eyes.
She saw a tour bus and started to pick up her pace ”I'm sorry sir but I don't know an Olivia Keel, Shield, or whoever and I don't have a mother.I just saw my bus, I wish you best of luck finding whoever you're looking for.” she shouted back and successfully reached the crowd.
She asked the bus driver where the bus was going ”Marina Maria Hotel and Resort.” he replied ”Perfect!” pulled out some cash and gave him a 'donation' so she wouldn't get kicked out.The bus driver nodded and closed the doors.
As she sat down she smiled to herself.She was determined to not let Agni have her way with her, whether she had good or bad intentions, she was determined to defy her and show her true colors to her father.This would be her gift to him.
