Married To My Sister's Husband
Chapter 1 My Dream or Nightmare
Like a strong desire to disappear from the earth, the sounds, the voices, the room, the smell, everything felt so pulsating and unstable.
She wanted to be alone, in a place were no one would find her, a place without sounds, terror, nightmares nor disappointments.
It was a Tuesday morning and summer was bidding farewell, ushering in the new season.
It was a cool morning but for some reason, Olivia was feeling particularly hot.
She was in the midst of a heated argument which must be the reason why the room felt so hot. Or maybe it was knowing the fact that whatever decision they make today would affect her life greatly.
She didn't move, she couldn't, she just sat there faced down, hoping no one throws any question or remark her way.
Her mother is seen at the end of the conference table where she normally sits as the Chairwoman of the Luthel Enterprise, looking unnaturally calm and composed-even intimidating, in a heated argument.
But that was Judy Luthel, always composed but determined to make everything go according to her will, even her daughter's future.
The other people in the room were, Mr and Mrs Winfrey of the Castlehill Group with their lawyer, and Mr Vince- Judy's trusted lawyer.
The Winfrey's were trying to make Judy see reasons as to why they have to end the contract between the both companies, but Judy doesn't seem to like that idea at all.
Olivia can't believe all these was happening now, when its barely less than a month since her twin sister died.
She had always seen her mother as unfeeling, but never would she have thought that it would reach even to this extent- at her own daughter's expence.
Couldn't they hold this meeting in like 4 or 5months from now?
Everything was so nauseating, and she wasn't in the right frame of mind to handle such delicate matters yet. She still needed more time to grief her twin sister's death.
"You have to understand Mrs Luthel, the conditions behind us signing this contract in the first place is non-existent now. Having had your daughter as our daughter-in-law was such great joy for us, but she's gone now. Wouldn't it be wise to cut our losses put an end to both our pending precedent? We sympathize with you, but without Sophia this contract is already void to us", Mr Winfrey stated.
Scoff..."You came to me on bended knees few years ago, begging me to help you save Castlehill. And today you want to terminate our agreement without giving a second thought about the consequences of your action? Isn't that simply the most foolish thing to do?" Judy asked calmly.
If they had come to her to ask if there's a better way to sustain the deal between the both companies that was forged in a marriage union, that would have been better.
But her daughter had just died- as their daughter-in-law, and all they could think about was how to breakout from a contract they had proposed themselves back then, irrespective of the feelings of her late daughter then.
This made her mind go through lots of possibilities concerning the death of Sophia.
Could it be that the Winfreys had planned the assassination of her daughter so they could call an end to the contract?
