"Elliot, I don't understand what we're doing here." Olivia said as she and Elliot walked inside a large ballroom. It was a fancy business party for his company, but he usually only stopped in to say a few words and left. The room was packed with investors from wall to wall with both Elliot and her father's associates. She gripped his hand tighter when she started to see familiar faces, ones that she prayed she would never see again. "El?"

Elliot wrapped his arm around her waist. "I'm right here. Trust me. We won't be here long, but I wanted you here." He kissed her head and pulled her closer when he saw some of the investors turn to them with lingering eyes. "I have to go up on the stage. You can sit at the table right in front. No one will try anything if you're in my line of sight."

"What are you going to do?" Olivia asked as they walked to the front table. She sat down when Elliot pulled out a chair for her. She cupped his face in her hands when he squatted down in front of her. "You better tell me why I'm here, Stabler. You are really freaking me out."

"I'm going to correct everything." Elliot whispered before kissing the palm of her hand and hurrying up to the stage. The band quieted down when he started tapping on the microphone, verifying that it was working. He nodded his thanks and waited for everyone to turn to him. "As always, welcome. I'm glad that everyone could make it out. I know that these dinners are more for. . .well, kissing ass." The guests became to chuckle at his comment. He glanced down at Olivia. She had relaxed somewhat, but she was still on edge. "But, tonight, things are going to be a little different. As most of you know, I recently got married to my beautiful, gorgeous wife who I love more than anything in the world. I would do anything to protect her, as most of you would do for your spouses." He cleared his throat. "It has come to my attention that not every person thinks the same way I do. In fact, some people in this room would physically harm another person for their own sick reasons." He lifted up a paper, facing towards the flashing cameras of the news reporters he had called in for the party. "There are twenty-five names on here. These twenty-five people are here and this room, and they will be arrested tonight for numerous counts of sexual assault and rape."

Olivia turned when she heard the doors open. A large group of police officers walked in, a number of them holding papers. She looked back up at Elliot. "Oh my God, El." She breathed.

Elliot straightened his jacket when the group of people in front of him started to gasp and recoil from the police officers. "Over the past few weeks, I have heard numerous stories from women who have been wronged by the people on this list. They have each gone to the police and told their stories. Stories that they have been hiding for years. Now, these stories are so horrific, so vile, that I want to see all of the people on this list get the punishment they deserve. But, I have extra motivation to see all of this through. Every person on this list has one person in common. That is my wife." He gritted his teeth together when his throat constricted. He blinked a couple times as more gasped reached his ears. "From the age of five to the time she was seventeen, my wife had to endure unwanted advances from all these men." He voice cracked on the last word.

Olivia stood up and walked up onto the stage, ignoring the flashing cameras and eyes staring daggers at her. When she reached him, he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her against his side. She let her forehead rest against his temple and kissed his cheek. "You're doing good."

Elliot turned and kissed her forehead before looking back out at his guests. "I will not work with or for someone who would prey on innocent people. Therefore, anyone who is arrested tonight will be cut from the company. You will receive your investments back for the percentage of what the company is worth today. If anybody else has questions or concerns, don't be afraid to call me in my office." He gestured to the officers in the back. "I will let the police take over now."

The reporters started firing off questions for Elliot, but he ignored them as he led Olivia to the other side of the stage. "You didn't have to do that." Olivia whispered as they walked towards the exit.

"It needed to be done." Elliot said. He pulled her closer when they walked out, keeping her out of reach from the investors being arrested on either side of them. "It was time they paid the price for being creeps."

"I just can't believe you did that." Olivia breathed as they stepped onto the elevator.

Elliot straightened his jacket again. "I barely did anything. If it didn't involve me going to jail, I would be handling those guys myself for what they put you through." He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. "Are you okay?"

Olivia slipped her hand into his. "I've never felt safer."

Elliot walked out of the bathroom with his towel wrapped around his waist. Olivia was sitting on their bed, leaning against the headboard, watching the news talk about his speech earlier that night. He slipped a pair of boxers on under his towel before tossing it onto the chair in the corner. When he climbed into the bed next to Olivia, she turned to him and smiled slightly. "You got all of them."

"Of course, I did. I wasn't going to let any of them skate by." Elliot stated before grabbing the remote and turning off the TV. "I don't want to talk about them right now."

Olivia turned to him. "What do you want to talk about?" She waited for a response, but he seemed stumped. It had been happening a lot since he started this whole investigation with the police. Pushing herself up, she straddled his hips and rested her hands on his chest. "What's going on with you?"

Elliot frowned and shook his head. "I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just fine."

"No," it was Olivia's turn to shake her head, "you've been acting strange ever since you found out about my dad and his parties. You've been really distant. I may not have known you for very long, but I do know when you shut down. You're not that hard to read." She shrugged her shoulders. "What? Do you think of me differently knowing the truth?"

Elliot wrapped his arms around her and held her against him, resting his head against her shoulder. "I think differently of myself."

Olivia cupped his head in her hand, using her other one to rub his back. "What do you mean?"

"I'm not better than those guys who tried to attack you all those years ago." Elliot stated. "I forced you into this situation. I put you in a place where you couldn't get out. I'm worse than those guy. I actually got to you."

Olivia's eyes widened. "El, you don't really think that, do you?" She felt him nod against her shoulder. "Look at me." He didn't move. "Look at me, baby." She nearly begged in a whisper. She cupped his face in her hands when he finally looked up. "You didn't force me to do anything. I may have given you shit for this contract marriage, but I had a choice. I chose you over telling my father about my issues. El, those guys didn't give a fuck about me. You do."

"I was just protecting you. Any other guy would do the same thing." Elliot said, shaking his head.

"Twenty-five men tonight were arrested because they wouldn't." Olivia reminded him. She leaned down and kissed him slowly. "You're a good man and a good husband."

Elliot rolled his eyes. "Yes, blackmailing my wife into marriage. I deserve an award." He said sarcastically.

Olivia smack his cheek playfully with a smile. "Learn to take a compliment." She wiped at the corner of his mouth. "I've actually enjoyed our marriage despite our rocky beginning." She kissed him again, this time pushing her full weight down onto his lap. "You just need to stop treating me like I'm made of glass."

Elliot grunted softly before grabbing her hips. "You're going to turn me into steel in a minute."

"Maybe that's what I'm trying to do." Olivia smirked. She giggled when his eyes widened.
