301. Tyson - Seducing II

Her eyes shine with unshed tears, I pick her up in my arms and take her to my desk. My eyes are still hurting, and I often get headaches during the night. I should rest right about now but Olivia is more important than my vision. I sit on the chair with her on my lap. Her head comes to rest on my shoulder, her palm on the free one. My fingers massage the back of her neck.

"For years, I was so lonely." Her voice is always soft, but right now it's full of pain. "I wanted to die, but I held on to the hope that you would return to me one day." She lets out a bitter laugh. "Hope it's just a lie. You never came." She falls silent for a moment before saying, "In the forest, when you all hovered over me like I was some piece of meat in the butcher's shop, you said little rabbit. Did you know it was me?"

I don't remember a lot from that night except for being in shock when Rueben took off her blindfold. I didn't expect to see Olivia. All I knew was that she was no longer in the US. "No. I never thought I'd see you again. I hoped I'd never see you again. All that Rueben ever talked about was how he would kill you and...I didn't want that."

"You wanted to be the one to kill me?"

For years, I imagined all the ways I would make her suffer, but I never once wanted to end her. "I wanted you to live so you would be as miserable as I was." My throat bobs. "If I had known the pain in your heart...."

A few tears fall down her cheeks. "What then?"

"I would have held you like I am now."

A sob leaves her. "I want my baby." My hold on her tightens. "Our little Spencer."

It is one of the reasons I keep returning to him because I want to think that one day he will tell me." Jason is my next target. What I did to his friends will be nothing compared to what I'll do to that son of a bitch. Talking about Spencer is causing Olivia too much pain, so I change the subject.
