72 Time To Go Home Part 3 (2/2)
”You could have hoped but instead you tried to kill her with your own two hands.” Eli said bluntly.Robin stopped crying and Olivia broke their embrace, she walked up to Eli and slapped his face.”Don't!Don't you dare act like you know anything about hope!” she yelled.
Avery looked up and saw Olivia's enraged face.”You tired to kill yourself thinking I was gone!” she said as she slapped him again, her hand was now on fire but she could care less.She turned to her father and looked him in the eyes, then slapped him too.Angry tears started running down her face as she raised her hand again.
Eli grabbed her wrist from behind and kissed her temple ”I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.” he murmured into her ear.Olivia lost her will to fight and looked at her father with a pain stricken face ”I told you Agni... I told you... will you believe me now.... will you listen to my story?” she asked cautiously, afraid that her father would turn against her again just for bringing up his wife's name.
Avery looked at Olivia like his world just came apart, his face aged years in a split second and he absentmindedly nodded his head.Robin made a quick phone call as they stood there in silence ”Avery, Olivia and Eli, I have a car waiting for us downstairs.We can't stay here... we've been here to long and if people have been talking about seeing Olivia I'm pretty sure Agni will act and come after her again.”
Avery looked at Robin in a daze.Olivia sighed and grabbed her father's hand ”Come on daddy we got to go.” she said softly.Avery felt her hand and squeezed it reassuringly, new tears started to roll down his face as her pulled her into his embrace.”I'm so sorry!”he yelled.
Olivia patted his back ”Daddy we don't have time for this we need to go I promise I won't leave you again but Agni will try to kill me if she knows I'm here.” she said sternly.Avery bit back the words he wanted to say and let go of Olivia.They four of the raced towards the elevator and waited for it to arrive.
Employees started to gawk as they all raised their heads from the cubicles and started to make a ruckus.Robin turned around as the elevator arrived.”Everyone pass a message along to everyone else.Ms. Steel is in fact alive but her life is still in danger so please keep her arrival to the office a secret.” he declared before stepping into the elevator.The last thing they saw was everyone pulling out their phone, texting or calling other colleges.
They went straight to the under ground parking and ran to the car waiting for them.Once seated inside Robin emailed the receptionist to tell everyone the Avery had been called away to an out of office meeting and his return for the day was uncertain.
The moment they were on the road Avery's phone went off.Everyone in the car looked at Avery wondering what he was going to do.He gulped and looked at the screen, his faced turned ghostly white as Agni's name appeared on the display screen.He allowed it to ring till it went to voicemail, but soon enough text messages started to flood his phone.
Olivia covered the screen with her hand and looked at her father ”Laila and Loreley, they need to be protected. ” she said worriedly.Avery nodded ”Robin call the daycare and have Maria take Laila to the Atleet estate.Tell them to keep her away from her mother at all costs!I will call Brenda and have her do the same with Loreley.”he said quickly as he pulled his phone away from Olivia's hand.
Avery looked at Olivia as the phone rang.”I will listen and believe whatever you say from now on.” he told her decisively.Olivia sighed and sat back into her seat while Eli held her hand.”It will be over soon.” Eli told her but Olivia had a feeling it was still only the beginning.
....
Aunt Amy refused to let Olivia go from her embrace.The moment she walked through the door Amy screamed and clung to her for dear life.Robin felt awkward as the triplets started to cry from their mother's hollering.”Honey the babies?” he pleaded but Amy shot him a look.
”You three can each take one Olivia is mine right now and I'm not letting go!” she yelled angrily at the men.Robin sighed and passed a baby to Avery and Eli.”Okay, okay Gracie daddy's got you.Up you go!See all better mom just went a little crazy but everything is ok now.” Robin cooed to his daughter.
Amy rolled her eyes and snuggled against Olivia's head.”Amy, honey we want to talk so can we go into the living room for now?I want to set up the security system outside too.”Amy nodded at Robin's requests and started side step with Olivia.She meant it when she wasn't going to let Olivia go from her embrace and she awkwardly guided Olivia to a spot on the couch and sat her down while still holding her in her arms.
Olivia giggled and squeezed Amy back.”I'm happy to see you too.” Amy finally let her go to look at her and then quickly decided it was the wrong choice and pulled her back into her embrace.”Who hurt you!” she demanded.Olivia gave a sigh ”Which time are you asking for? now or before?”Amy squeezed her a little tighter ”No better yet tell me everything!” she shouted.
