Chapter 438: Distrust
Olivia sank to the floor, the weight of her emotions pulling her down as tears that she had held back streamed down her cheeks.. It was the first time she had ever felt such a consuming fear of Seb. His eyes, filled with a hatred she couldn’t comprehend, bore into her, leaving her feeling defenseless. She wanted to explain herself but he hadn’t given her a chance to... What was she supposed to do now? She needed to talk to him. He was misunderstanding her...
She’d never planned to keep the child from him... She just needed time to come to terms with everything that had happened and she would have come clean...
With a deep breath, Olivia pushed herself up from the floor, wiping away the tears that stained her cheeks. Determination fueled her as she reached for her phone, her fingers hovering over the screen before hesitating. Maybe calling him wouldn’t be the best approach. If she could meet him and then explain things, he would hav e calmed down a bit and would definitely listen...it would be more effective in resolving his misunderstanding.
Wiping her tears, she quickly stood up. He would have gone home. She’d go to him and make him listen to her. But before she could even turn the knob, her path was obstructed by the unexpected presence of security guards.
Shock froze Olivia in place as she stared at the impassive faces before her. "Who are you? Why are you here?"
A security guard, a stern expression etched onto his face, stepped forward. "Miss Brown, I am Marcus," he said, his tone matter-of-fact. "Mr. Frost has asked us to ensure your safety. If you need to go anywhere, we can accompany you."
She felt disbelief and unexplicable hurt course through her as she shook her head and closed the door. He’d placed security guards at her door... He thought she was going to run away. They were there not to guard her but to keep an eye on her.
Opening the door, she looked at the angrily," You all can leave. I am not at any risk."
Marcus remained impassive, unmoved by her order. "I’m sorry, Miss Brown. Mr. Frost’s instructions were clear. Until further notice, we are to ensure your safety and remain with you at all times. You need not worry. We can be discreet."
