My Promised Rejection (Olivia) novel Chapter 2

Two Days Later

Olivia POV

"I know you don't want to see them, Oli, but we all need to sit down and talk. The divorce is happening, and I don't want you making a decision to spare my feelings. She is your mother" he says. "No, she stopped being my mother two days ago." I can see he wants to say more, but a knock on the door has him moving to answer it. "Hello Charles, thank you for agreeing to sit down and talk." "I only agreed for Oli's sake, Evelyn." 

I'm not sure what I expected, but it sure as hell wasn't for Xavier to step into the room behind my mother. "What the hell is he doing here? He isn't part of this family. I'm leaving if he is staying." "Oli," my mother starts to say. "Olivia. You don't get to call me Oli anymore." Pain and sadness flash in her eyes, but I can't bring myself to care. "Olivia, I know you are upset, but you will not disrespect your mother," Xavier says. 

"She isn't my mother. I only agreed to speak with her because my dad asked me to. Honestly, I have nothing to say to any of you. I am staying with my dad till I graduate and then going to college just like I planned. I won't abandon him like Evelyn and Connor did." "Olivia, please. I love you," my mother says. "You should have thought about that when you cheated on dad." I turn to my father. "I've said all I have to say. Can I go to my room?" 

"Olivia, please just come sit and talk with us," Connor says. "No, you are in the same boat with her. You chose a cheater over our father. You are no longer my brother." "Enough, you are not a child anymore, Olivia. Things don't always work out the way we plan, and we need to learn to adapt. Now come down here and act like an adult," Xavier says. I look at him as anger bubbles up inside me. 

"F**k you. You are nothing to me. You don't get to tell me what to do or how to act." I turn and a low growl has me turning in time to see my mother wrap her arms around the pr*ck. "Real nice Evelyn. Why don't you just let him screw you in front of dad? I never knew you were such a monster. I'm just glad I realized it now. You can all leave because I'm done talking to any of you." 

"Olivia, if you don't come down here and talk this out, we will have no choice but to take your father to court for custody," Xavier says. "Xavier, please" my mother says. "No, Evelyn. This is not up for discussion. She is acting like a spoiled child. She isn't even giving you a chance to explain why all of this is happening," Xavier says. "It's happening because my mother is a wh*re who cheated on my father." "Oli, that's enough. Go upstairs, and I'll be up in a minute," my father says. 

I stomp up the stairs, but I don't go to my room. Instead, I sit on the landing eaves dropping on the rest of the conversation. "You will not come into my home and threaten my daughter again, Xavier. I don't care what you are or where you come from, but this is my house and that is my daughter as much as you wish she was yours," my father says. I fist pump the air, proud of my dad for telling him off. 

"Charles, please don't make this any worse" my mom says. "Make what worse Evelyn? You have completely destroyed our lives, you have taken Connor from me, and now you're trying to take Oli. No matter the reason, you are hurting me and Oli. You are the one that broke the vows you made to me knowing this could happen. I will not force Oli to go with you," he says. 

"Dad, no one is taking me from you. I love you, but the pack is where I belong. I will always be your son," Connor says. What the hell is he talking about, a pack? Is Xavier in some kind of cult? "Charles, Evelyn, never meant to hurt you. I know you don't understand the pull of our bond, but it can't be controlled," Xavier says. What the hell is he talking about? "Honestly, Xavier, I don't care. She made her choice, but I won't force Oli to leave the only home she has ever known," my father says. 

"Then you leave us no choice. Olivia needs to be in the pack when she turns eighteen, or you are putting her and our kind in danger. He isn't going to listen, Evelyn. We should leave," he says. "Charles, I didn't mean to hurt you. I loved our life together. I never expected to find Xavier" she says, her voice cracking on every word. "It's not enough, Evelyn. You destroyed me and I have no choice but to hold myself together for Oli girl," he says.
