Hello lovelies,

How was your New Year's? Mine was a quiet one spent at home writing. Yes I am that much of a nerd and SereneCalamity can confirm it because I finished writing this fic on New Year's Eve. We still have 3 more chapters to go and as reluctant as I am to see it happen I think it's time. I wanted to thank you guys for your amazing suppot and the reviews you gave me over the past year. Now this chapter has a lot of drama in it. Olivia finally reveals what happened to her. So as much as I want to hear what you guys think about this chapter I must warn you it might have some hard to digest scenes. But since I am a greedy person and I do want to know what you guys think make sure you let me know about it.

Nico

Olivia stared at the tall brunette standing in front of her, looking into her deep blue eyes. Nick's eyes. "Maria? What are you doing here? Is everything alright?" Eventually Olivia remembered her manners and moved aside letting Maria walk inside the house. She felt grateful Jake wasn't home for this.

-"I don't even know where to begin. Remember how I mentioned I started dating a guy a few months ago? Turns out he's a biker as well. Not sure what MC he's a part of. I freaked out when I saw him on a bike and I left him. That was a few days ago before Luke called to let me know Dillon was back and to keep my eyes open."

-"What did you just say? Say it again." Olivia's blood ran cold as Maria told her what she knew of Dillon's return. She then played back in her head everything that had happened in the past few weeks. Rage filled Olivia, making her grab a vase and throw it at the wall.

-"Livvy? What the hell?" Maria jumped a little, watching Olivia take deep breaths trying to calm herself down. "Oh God, you didn't know? Luke didn't tell you about this shit?" Olivia shook her head before pulling herself back together.

-"He didn't, nor did Springer for that matter. And Springer said me he'd tell me if Dillon returned. He promised not to keep me in the dark. I should have known better." Olivia grabbed Jake's pack of cigars and lit one just as a bike was heard coming on the silent street. She sighed, knowing full well that Maria hated everything bike related.

Her sister-in-law kept silent as Jake dismounted the bike before making his way inside the house. He stopped, watching the scene in front of him. Olivia, dressed in a small shirt that only covered her bottom, a stranger sitting with her and a broken vase on the kitchen floor. What concerned him the most was the deep rage and hatred he could see inside Olivia's eyes.

-"Are those my cigars?" He walked inside the living room, noticing how tense Olivia's friend was all of a sudden. "I'm Jake, Olivia's roommate." He extended his hand to Maria, smiling. The girl took his hand and a subtle change took place in her eyes, turning her from a little rabbit to a tigress.

-"I'm Maria, Nick's psychotic sister." She smiled at him while Olivia started laughing. Jake threw them a surprised glance before smiling. He noticed that whatever was going on with Olivia she seemed to have calmed down. "Anyway it was nice to meet you, Jake. But now I need to go. I was supposed to get back to Ravenswood yesterday."

-"Stay a while longer, Maria. If Luke or Springer don't like it they can take it up with me. "Olivia's cold voice left no room for argument. Maria sighed her head, knowing this. Jake watched Olivia walk to the kitchen, bringing back the broom and cleaning the broken vase. He excused himself and walking out of the house he walked over to Eric's place.

Melissa's smile as she opened the door vanished completely when she saw Jake standing there.

"Your friend needs you." Jake sidestepped Melissa, walking to Eric's study while she grabbed a pair of shoes and headed over to her house.

-"Olivia? What's going on?" Melissa walked in and saw Olivia sitting at the kitchen table, another cigar lit in her hand. Maria looked at her friend and shook her head when she saw Melissa's frown on her face.

-"My biggest nightmare is coming back into my life and the two people who should've warned me about it, the people I trusted the most after Nick died, kept it a secret from me." Olivia blew out the smoke, watching her friend. "I am not a safe person to be around right now, Lissa."

-"I don't understand. What's going on?" Melissa took a seat in front of Olivia, grabbing her hand. Maria excused herself and walked out of the house to stay on the porch. "Livvy, I can't help you if I don't know what's going on."

-"Dillon is back." A sob escaped Olivia's throat as she leaned her head into her hand. Melissa was frozen on her spot for a few minutes before pulling her shaking friend in a hug. "I already lost my husband because of him, Lissa. I can't lose anyone else."

It took Melissa several hours to manage to calm her friend down. When she eventually left the house she noticed both Lucas and Holden were there guarding it. "Eric called the guys to Church. Jake ordered us keep an eye on you two until the meeting's over."

Lucas explained as he followed Melissa to Eric's place while Holden kept an eye on Olivia's place. Maria had left an hour before to return to Ravenswood. Melissa clenched her teeth as she went over in her head once more of the conversation she had with Olivia. Her own brothers kept her in the dark about Dillon's return.

The Phantoms were arguing the best course of action. Jake had quickly put them up to speed with Olivia's sudden reveal. A few of the guys felt it was best to send her back to Ravenswood and not to get involved with the matter.

Surprisingly enough it was Caleb that stepped in to shut down the idea. "We send her home, we'll look like a bunch of pussies. First we failed to protect Bunny, then the moment a person living in our town gets into trouble we step aside and let it happen?"

A sudden silence followed as everyone looked at their VP. Jake leaned in his chair listening while Eric leaned his head into his crossed hands and looked at him as well. "We're supposed to protect our town and those living in it. And I for one don't want to think that if we send this girl back now we won't regret it tomorrow. What if it was Hanna or Phoenix or Wren's child in her shoes?"

Garrett Reynolds snapped his mouth shut, remembering what happened the last time Hanna got into trouble. "She came to this place to be safe and I think that meant that she trusted us. So let's prove her right. Let's show her she's not alone in this."

-"All in favor?" Eric put the matter to a vote, ending the briefing. Caleb's speech had changed things as all the guys finally agreed to protect Olivia. Suddenly, Eric felt relieved that he wouldn't have to tell his fiancée that her friend was kicked out of his town.

Olivia typed down on her laptop quickly, preparing herself for the worst case scenario. When she heard a bike coming down the street she walked to her window and watched Jake dismount it. He seemed to have sensed her because he raised his head to look right at her through the window.

Jake walked inside the house and headed to Olivia's room. He stopped, noticing she wasn't there. Turning on his heels he headed to his bedroom and stopped himself short when he saw her there holding Bunny's picture frame.

-"She was a beautiful woman, your wife." Olivia placed the photo frame carefully on the nightstand before turning to look at Jake. "I was married for less than 6 hours before Nick died. Dillon and a couple of his guys ambushed us. I managed to block most of what happened that day from my head before. I do remember Nick pushing me to the ground, protecting me from getting full of lead. I remember him being shot because of that and bleeding over my dress. It's the last thing I remember before Dillon grabbed me and knocked me out."

Jake took a seat on the bed, watching her as she moved to look out the window at the stars that were silently appearing in the evening sky. He remembered then what Teddy told them. Olivia had never spoken to anyone about this. He remained silent and waited for her to continue her story.

-"I woke up in a small room, tied down to a chair. I couldn't move my arms or legs, and as I came to Dillon walked in and drugged me so that I was barely able to understand what was going on. There was a dark window there that overlooked another room that I didn't originally notice."

-"Olivia, you don't have to tell me this." Jake felt unexpectedly unsure of what to say. The woman in front of him broke down with every word she said and he feared he wasn't the man able to help her heal her wounds.

-"I would agree with you normally, but I don't think I have a choice anymore." She sighed, taking a seat in an armchair facing him. "There were two girls there. At first I didn't understand what was happening, but then Dillon explained to me that he would make me watch what he did to them and then he would let me go knowing that one day he would come back for me and do those things to me as well. He raped them for hours in a row. Raped them, tortured them and then he burned them alive."

-"Jesus fucking Christ!" Jake jumped from the bed and started pacing the room. "That mother fucker is going to die a very, very slow death!" Olivia wiped her tears. She hadn't realized until then that she was crying as she remembered those girls' screams and pleas for help. And how helpless and terrified she had been when she watched Dillon do those things.

-"I eventually lost consciousness. I woke up seeing one of the Angels knock Dillon out. That guy took me away from that place to a friend's house and then he returned to his MC. As far as I know he is the new VP the Angels have right now."

-" I'll need to run this shit by Eric. He needs to know just what this shithead is capable of doing and how far he's willing to go to get what he wants. But you listen to me, nothing is gonna happen to you. Not on my watch, okay?" Jake stopped in front of Olivia and placing his hand on her cheek. He rubbed it, wiping a tear. Olivia nodded her head praying that he would be right and that everything would be okay eventually.
