OLIVIA 

The anger I felt when I saw my grandmother’s grave was indescribable. The pain though, was more than the anger I felt. The woman did everything for me and made sure I studied and became the woman I am today. Yet, I was not there when she needed me the most, I was not there to give her a proper burial. 

She was buried like a dog with no headstone or photo. It broke my heart that things got so bad that she became collateral damage. But I was going to make things right, those who wronged me, those caused me this pain, are going to feel the same pain ten folds. 

“Take me back Ethan, I am just going to tell Nick’s parents that I am going back home.” He nodded and we left the graveyard. Leaving my grandmother with a promise that I was going to do right by her. The drive back was silent, with me thinking of ways to make money. I had no job, and no one was going to hire me with a criminal record. 

That was what Nick wanted when he got me arrested and he did swear to make me pay, to make my life miserable for as long as I live. “I am going to wait for you and take you to your grandmother’s house.” I shook my head in the negative, I had inconvenienced him enough. 

“I will be alright Ethan; you can go about your day. You are the CEO of a big tech company; you can’t waste your day with criminals.” His face hardened as he looked at me. if it was before, I would have been intimidated by that look. But now that I have seen real animals, that threatening look, according to him, was nothing at all. 1 

It didn’t scare or intimidate me in the least. “Don’t you ever call yourself a criminal, not in front of me and I am not leaving. Go in there and do what you need to then we can leave.” I got out of the car but before I closed the door, I said. “In the eyes of the law, I am a criminal, your friend made sure of that.” 

I did not give him a chance to try and convince me that I was wrong. Or that I was not a criminal, and I was arrested for something I didn’t do. The fact was that I was arrested, booked and served time. That means, I am a criminal, my record says so. Now on applications, I can’t skip that box asking if you have a criminal record. 

Now I will have to fill it in and explain the kind of crime I have committed. Who would hire me then after reading that. “Olivia, you are back. Are you alright, do you need anything.” I gave my mother–in–law a smile. I was grateful to her, if it weren’t for her, I would still be in that jail cell being beaten every day for amusement. 

“Am fine mom, I don’t need anything. But I do want to talk to you and dad.” Before she could say anything, dad appeared. “We can talk about anything you want my daughter, come this way.” He took my hand leading me to the lounge. 

We sat and I sighed. Before, I would have been hurt to do what I was about to do, but not now. “I just wanted to thank you both for everything you have done for me. if it weren’t for you, I would still be…” I choked but I refused to cry, so. I swallowed hard clearing my throat before continuing. 

“Any way, I wanted to tell you that and if I had something, I would have taken you out for a meal to say thank you, but I have nothing at the moment. So, my words would have to be enough. Also, I am going back home.” 

My mother–in–law stood, “Olivia, this is your home. Which home are you talking about?” I knew she was not going to take this well. “I am Going back to my grandmother’s house, if I am going to start over, it has to be far away from Nick and his family.” 

She teared up, my mother–in–law loved me like a daughter. “How can you say that Olivia, I know that things are not well between you and Nick. But we don’t support that, he maybe our son but we don’t support what he is doing. This is still your home.” 

“Things between Nick and I are not as simple as you put it mom. He sent me to jail and didn’t even want to hear
