“Yes, sir,” I reply respectfully, even though my throat is burning to tell him off. To tell him that I have no intention of ever coming back to work now that I have Olivia to take care of.
I’ve made more than enough money to provide for us, and I don’t ever want to be away from Olivia for long. She’s my woman, and I need to care for her.
I live almost an hour outside of Chicago, where the DA’s office is, and about twenty minutes from the little town of Painter, Illinois that Olivia has grown up in.
“When will you be back?” he asks me. I can hear him shuffling around, getting ready to walk over to the courthouse.
“I’m not sure yet. I will keep you posted. Good luck in court today.” I hang up the phone, putting all of my focus back on the cameras.
She’s now dressed in black leggings and a thick pink hoodie that hides her frame before she crawls back into bed with a book and starts reading.
Opening the file I’ve created on my secure laptop, I read more about her family and past.
Her mother died of cancer when she was a child. Once Philip and her brother moved to Chicago full-time, she stayed here in Painter, living with her grandmother in the very house she now owns.
It seems like the only people she’s ever really been close to are her grandmother and Shelby, which really means I can’t kill the blonde woman. Even if she is trying to get my girl fucked by some stranger.
I’ve already come to terms with the fact that I won’t be able to go back to my house for some time in case she actually goes on a date with one of these assholes that keep messaging her.
Yeah, I’ve hacked into her account. Shelby really should be smarter with passwords and privacy. It’s slightly terrifying to know how clueless they both are to the darkness that lurks around every corner.
The darkness I live and thrive on.
If she wants to go on dates, I will allow it for now, but I will be there watching every second of it.
For now, I will watch over her and keep her safe, and tomorrow I will make my first move to win her affections.
I’m going to get a fucking dog.
