Five minutes later, the chief’s secretary entered the interrogation room that Olivia was in and whispered something in the officer’s ear.
Frustration flowed through Olivia, who rolled her eyes, but she stayed silent.
After the secretary walked out, the officer looked at Olivia with a furrowed brow. “You and your friends have been released on bail.
After signing a mountain of paperwork, Olivia, Ava, Aiden Richard walked into the waiting room of the police station. A four of them walked with slumped shoulders and fatigued expressions.
Olivia wanted to turn back around when she saw that Alexander wan waiting for them, looking refreshed and smiling
“Did you have a good day?” Alexander asked Olivia, his lips twitching
“Spare me,” Olivia snapped,
Alexander put a hand to his heart and gasped in mock offense. “Is that any way to talk to the man who bailed you out of jail?”
Olivia ignored him and turned to Ava. “How in the hell was there nothing under that tree?” she asked her friend.
Ava shook her head in disbelief. For the first time, it seemed that Ava was at a loss for words. This, more than anything, made Olivia anxious for the situation that they were in.
Alexander stepped closer to Olivia. The humor was gone from his face, replaced with genuine concern. “It’s alright,” he whispered soothingly, and his warm finger wiped off the dirt from her face. “Tommorrow is a new day.”
Their eyes locked together, and Olivia’s heart stuttered until she wasn’t sure if it was beating anymore. When Alexander’s eyes glanced down to her lips, her stomach swooped, and she forgot where they were for a moment and leaned in slightly.
When someone cleared their throat behind them, the two jumped away like they had been electrocuted.
“I’m starving,” Richard said.
“Me, too,” Aiden agreed and rubbed his stomach.
“Being arrested will do that to you,” Ava said dryly.
Even though she didn’t have an appetite, Olivia agreed to go to dinner
Before they left the station, Ava, Aiden, and Richard all went to the bathroom. Alexander was on the phone arranging for one of his men to drive Olivia’s car to the police station because they all couldn’t fit in his.
Olivia wandered outside to get some fresh air. After a moment of breathing in the cool air, she heard footsteps from behind and turned around with a smile, thinking that it was Alexander.
“Where would you like to go eat?” she asked as she spun around to face him.
Her stomach stiffened when she saw that her assumption was wrong
Instead, Ethan was standing behind her. He let out a loud laugh that echoed. “I’ll eat wherever you want, babe,” he answered.
Before Olivia could even think of a response, Alexander came striding out of the door and quickly assessed the situation. He rushed over to Olivia and slid a comforting arm over her shoulders.
“You’re not invited to dinner,” Alexander told Ethan and narrowed his eyes at the other man.
Ethan’s gaze shot down to Alexander’s arm that was around Olivia. His fists clenched at his sides. “Get your hands off of her,” he snapped.
Alexander smirked, seemingly assumed by Ethan’s anger, an tightened his arm around Olivia, pressing her closer against his side.
“No,” he said simply.
Olivia snuggled closer to Alexander’s warmth and couldn’t help the smile that bloomed across her face.
*Olivia*
Alexander and Ethan stared each other down. Their hostility for each other was obvious as hatred flowed between them so much that I could almost see it.
When Ethan took a step forward, headlights shined on him, and he had to put a hand in front of his face so that he wouldn’t be blinded by the bright lights.
I stepped away from Alexander’s warm embrace and turned to see who was in the car idling next to us. Relief flooded through me when I recognized my car and the man who was driving it as someone who worked for Alexander. Gai quickly got into the driver’s seat, and the other man went into a car with another one of Alexander workers.
Grateful to have an excuse to get away from these two alpha men, I quickly got into the passenger seat of my car.
I groaned when Ethan tried to get into the backseat of my car. Could this guy not take a hint? Before he could open the door, Alexander put a hand on Ethan’s shoulder to stop him.
“You’re delusional if you think you’re coming with us,” Alexander snapped through gritted teeth. His voice was loud enough that I could hear him through the closed window.
Ethan stepped closer to Alexander until the two men were facing off again.
“This isn’t good,” Gai warned.
“I bet you just love swooping in to save Olivia, don’t you?” Ethan said with a sarcastic smile.
“Not as much as you do,” Alexander shot back. “Since you’re engaged to Chloe, shouldn’t you wait for her mother’s questioning to be over before you leave? Shouldn’t you still be here when she gets out?”
Ava, Richard, and Aiden exited the station and heard what Alexander had said. My friend scoffed as she looked Ethan up and down with a judgmental expression. “Don’t give Ethan too much credit, Alexander,” she said. “He never does anything unless there is something in it for him.”
Before Ethan could reply, Ava climbed into my car.
“See you around,” Alexander told Ethan and grasped his shoulder a little too hard. Ethan winced. “Or not!”
Then, he got into my car, too. Aiden and Richard quickly hopped in, and Gai sped away from the curb, leaving Ethan on the sidewalk staring after us with his mouth open in shock. It was a tight fit for the people in the back, but no one complained.
“I wanted to get away from Ethan before he could do something crazy like key the side of Olivia’s car or jump in front of it to stop us from going,” Gai said, explaining why she had sped away.
Ava who was partially sitting on Richard’s lap to squeeze into the backseat didn’t have time to put her seatbelt on and when Gai came to a sudden stop, she flew forward and slammed into the backrest of the passenger seat.
“Holy crap, Ava!” I said, turning around and searching her face for blood. “Are you okay?”
Ava put her hand on the armrest of one of the seats. “I’m all good,” she assured us.
After that, we decided to split up, and we dropped off Alexander and Richard so they could ride back to the hotel together. Since four out of five of us were muddy and sweaty, we decided to go back to the hotel to shower and change before we went to dinner.
My legs felt heavy when I walked into the hotel and entered the elevator with Ava, Alexander, Richard, Gai, and Aiden. It had been a long day, and all I wanted to do was fall into bed and sleep for two days straight.
“Hey, Aiden, do you mind showering in Richard’s room?” Ava asked. “We only have one shower in our room, and it would take forever to wait for the three of us to shower. And the last person wouldn’t get any hot water.”
Alexander’s head whipped around, and he glared at Aiden. “You’re staying in the same room as Olivia?”
The younger man’s face flushed. “It’s a suite.”
“We are all separated by doors,” Ava explained impatiently. “It’s not like Aiden and Olivia are sleeping in the same bed. Calm down, Alexander.”
“Book Aiden, another room. Now,” Alexander instructed Gia and his jaw clenched.
“The kid can stay in my room,” Richard offered. “I have two beds in the room I’m staying in,”
Aiden shifted his feet and glanced at me. I could tell that he didn’t want to leave the same space as me. Alexander caught on to this too and narrowed his eyes at Aiden.
“Yes, Aiden can stay in your room, Richard,” he said with finality in his tone. “That way, you can keep your eye on him.”
