Accusation

1650 Words
HENRY POV I watched with shock as Henderson muttered his last statement. It was not even the accusation of him calling me useless. But calling Olivia useless. “She is useless like you” keeps ringing in my head. I don’t know why some ladies would give a face to some random men who couldn’t even appreciate womanhood. I knew they must have had s*x. And he later threw her away like trash. The tropical HENDERSON. I watched him walk away as if he didn't have any care in the world. "What a stupid dumbass!" I cursed as he retreated back, Standing in front of the door. I heard some sobs and I quickly opened the door and I was shocked to find Olivia naked and crouching down on her legs, sobbing. “Olivia!” I called her name and she looked up with tearful eyes. “Henderson!” she called as a happy grin formed on her face. But I turned my back before she would stand up because I didn't want to see her nakedness. “What is wrong? Look at me. I thought you were angry with me.” she said but I frowned at her stupidity. Did she think that Henderson would be that kind enough to come back to her after treating her like trash? “Wear your clothes, Olivia, I am not Henderson. I am Henry,” I said but then I heard some chuckles from my back. Was she chuckling? What was making her happy? I felt her b**bs resting on my back and I closed my eyes. Does she think that I am a badass like Henderson? So bad. “Olivia, listen, I am not Henderson. You are my niece, a part of the family. There isn’t supposed to be any initiation between us. Use your brain and not your lust.” I said. But I felt her lips on my shoulder as she planted kisses on them. She massaged my shoulders. To be honest, I felt the urge underneath me. But I was not one of those who put pleasure before common sense. Swiveling to face her. “Olivia, don’t tell me that you are kind of a slut? The Olivia I knew before we parted ways was innocent and pure. When did you become a slutty b***h? …” I tried to speak my mind but she cut me off with her lips on mine. What was really wrong with her? Why was she kissing me? “I love you Henry…” she said. My eyes lit up and I became momentarily dumb. Love or Lust? Was she on drugs? How could she love her nephew? Pulling her head away from mine. Looking into her eyes and hands on her shoulders. She attempted to kiss me again but I pulled her back with my hands on her shoulder. Looking into her eyes, I could see nothing but lust. Her eyes were changing from the black eyes which I once cherished to gray. This wasn’t the Olivia girl I cherished because of her innocence eleven years ago. “Olivia, we need to talk, please put on your clothes first,” I said. She wanted to hesitate at first but changed her mind. “Sure,” she replied and walked to the bed to pick up her clothes. Looking away when she was dressing up. I just didn’t see what Henderson saw in having women under him. Not that I was not aroused at the sight of her nakedness but I have a reputation to protect! Unlike my silly brother! “Done,” she said and I looked in her direction. I smiled but she lowered her face. Was she ashamed of what she did some minutes ago? Or She was back to being the innocent girl I knew before going to Italy. “Okay, we need to take a walk,” I said without looking at her. “Sure,” she replied. Walking out of the mansion, she walked behind me. Immediately we both stepped into the compound, I held her hand and led her toward the swimming pool. It was chilling and I loved it. Sitting her down on a seat, I also sat down facing her. she looked beautiful and innocent, not the s*x beast she was, some minutes ago. She was so fresh and clear. “Do you want to tell me why you become a s*x monster?” I asked and she flinched. From the look on her face, she was shocked by my question. “Olivia, you are part of me, a family. I just can’t see you falling into a drench and can’t come to savage you. Tell me…” I said and I was welcome with sobbing as she fought away tears but the tears came back dropping from her eyes. “Henry!” she called. “Yeah! Olivia, I am all attentive…” “It was Uncle…” She wanted to talk but the sob blurred up her words so I was unable to hear most of her words. “Please, just take it easy, I can’t hear you while you are sobbing. Tell me, I can help.” I said and our eyes met. She nodded but continued sobbing. I had a handkerchief, so I grabbed it and helped her clean her tears. “It…was…uncle… Logan…” She stammered. This time around, I could hear her vividly. My eyes were in shock. Hope she wasn’t referring to Uncle Logan, one of my father’s step-brothers. “Which Uncle Logan?” I asked. “Father’s brother.” She said, “What did he do to you?” I asked but she was speechless. The only thought I had in mind was that she was deflowered by Uncle Logan. So I didn’t wait to listen to her next line of explanation. I dashed toward the mansion without listening to my name, which Olivia kept calling. I was so furious. Immediately, I got to the sitting room, Father was still talking. With my eyes glued to that of Uncle Logan before our eyes meet. When he saw the anger on my face, he looked surprised. “I am making both Henry and Henderson the CEO of the company for now until we are back….” Father said and there was a round of applause from the others who were in the seats. But I don’t even understand what was happening. My eyes met with my father. He smiled at me. I didn’t have any choice but to smile too. “Henry and Henderson, please come forward…” Father called us and I walked toward him, forgetting that I was angry some minutes ago. “Henry and Henderson had been away for ten years like you all know. It is time for them to get into the family business as the heirs of Larry’s enterprises and properties. I have also made a list of others who will also work alongside with them. Olivia will be the general secretary since she is a graduate of secretarial science.” He said as his eyes dashed to the empty seat of Olivia. The others also followed his gaze. “Where is Olivia?” Aunty Ana asked. I stared at Uncle Logan whose face was neutral, then face Henderson who only smirked at me. “Let me go and check for her in the compound.” Aunty Leah, Olivia's foster aunt said. She was Uncle Logan’s wife. She stood up and walked toward the exit door. “There will be a list of those who will work alongside with them,” Father's voice stopped us from looking at the exit door and We all faced him. “The list will be given to all the stakeholders of the family company.” He said and they all smiled. But my mind was so preoccupied and I was looking for some avenue to confront Uncle Logan and tell him the kind of beast he was. Aunty Ana walked in without Olivia and We all turned to her. “I can’t find her,” she said and we all wondered where she could be “Maybe she has a boyfriend over here,” Uncle Logan replied, which brought annoyance up my spine. Was he mad? Accusing her of running away to see some guys when he was the devil that made her so. “Uncle, what do you just say…?” I asked and everyone turned to me so I stopped talking. “You heard me right. She may have had a boyfriend over here, we all know her.” Bella also replied. I look lost. Just then, a guard rushed in panicking. He walked to father and whispered into his ear and father flinched. “What?” he said. “What is wrong?” almost everybody asked. “Give me some minutes please.” He said as he followed the guard out. From my father's expression, I saw the fear and as he walked out, I followed behind. I could hear muttering from the family as the room filled with bad utterances about Olivia. They were accusing her badly, calling her some kind of odd names when the person who was supposed to be blamed was sitting and smiling at the turn of events. I just wished I could get a gun and shoot it into the skull of Uncle Logan. I hated injustice!. I walked out searching for my father. I checked the gate but found no single guard. “What is wrong?” I asked no one. I was about to walk back in when I heard some shouting. I knew where it was coming from... The swimming pool! Then I remembered I left Olivia there. Has something bad happened to Olivia? If not then why was there screaming? If yes, I would make sure that Uncle Logan rots in jail….
