THE WASTED WIFE
OLIVIA-MAXXIES

Olivia and Maxxie are still in the workspace. Both stand facing. Maxxie leaned against the desk with both hands in her trousers. He listened to Olivia talk wildly, hating her past.

The words Maxxie heard all too often when she met Olivia.

"Olivia.."

"Monica! Monica Franklin, brother. Stop calling me Olivia, Olivia Quinta Ramirez is long dead. The one in front of you right now is Monica Franklin", exclaimed Olivia.

"Until when you're like this. Until when the past will haunt you. It's just Olivia's past. You don't keep remembering it. You will continue to hurt yourself. Marry me, we start a new life. Go far away from America. I'll take you and Asley to live in London, so you can forget everything" Maxxie said, rubbing Olivia's beautiful face gently.

"I'm gonna hurt you, brother. My heart has been closed to receive the love of my life. Maybe my heart will open again when my grudge has paid off to the people who destroyed me first" Olivia replied in a trembling voice as she turned her face away. Every time we talk about the past, the pain automatically comes again to surround his feelings.

Maxxie looked at Olivia with a gentle look. "Then share your pain with me. You're constantly torturing yourself Olivia. Five years have passed, not once have you told me who your husband is. I'll help you finish everything. But you always refused to tell me. Why aren't you willing to accept my help?".

Olivia stared at my bead Maxxie. Only in front of the man who had been considered as part of his life that Olivia showed her the truth. Fragile and weak. Although now the woman looked so strong, but in fact she was still a weak woman who would easily shed tears when remembering her past that was so stifling.

"Sister has helped me too much. Let this part I finish".

Olivia clasped Maxxie's fingers tightly. "My son and I have received too much of your kindness, brother. Even Asley knows you're his father. I will never be able to repay all your help to us" Olivia stared at Maxxie.

Maxxie hugged the frail woman's body. She knew very well how Olivia's condition from the beginning they met until now Actually Olivia is not as strong as it looks on the outside. Maxxie also knew that during their separation, while Olivia was still crying in solitude. Rosa regularly gives news to him, when she gets Maxxie's orders to live with Olivia in New York. Max moved between Houston and London.

Max has not forgotten his wife. The love he had for Vivienne was so great and powerful. But Maxxie is willing to open up and start a new relationship with Olivia, but Olivia is still not healed from her old wounds.

Max always regularly visits Olivia and Asley who settled in New York. The first time Asley could speak, the boy called Max, daddy. Max remembered the moment. Maxxie did not mind at all, he was very fond of the handsome silver child like his own son. His own flesh and blood.

Of course, Olivia wanted to ban Asley from calling Max her father. Because Maxxie deserves to be happy with any woman, but Max forbids Olivia from doing it.

"I don't mind your son calling me daddy, Oliv. You don't have to feel bad like that. I was there when your son was born into this world, so it is only natural that he had inner contact with me. At least let me be your son's guardian" Maxxie said at the time.

Olivia couldn't resist. Moreover Asley is getting closer to Maxxie until now. Asley knew Maxxie was his father. A man who is always there when he needs a father figure.
