Hey everyone. I know this chapter is shorter than the others, but I just had to leave this one as is. I hope you all enjoy this chapter. 3 DAYS TIL SCANDAL!

For the past eight years Mellie has been a thorn in Liv's side. For the first three years, Liv dealt with the name calling, the manipulation, anything Mellie could think of to shame Liv because in Liv's eyes, she was wrong for falling in love with a married man. Liv was willing to endure whatever Mellie did to bring pain to her, but setting her targets on Zion - Mellie had gone too far.

Liv finished her second glass of wine and refilled. She sat on her sofa and glared at Mellie who was sitting in a chair across the room. She had no idea who she thought she was coming after Zion, but this nonsense was going to stop once and for all.

"What can I do for you Olivia?" Mellie asked looking quite nervous. She was toying with her thumbs, and she looked as if she were scanning the room for another exit.

"There's no way out Mellie. I've pulled the lockdown alarm. My entire floor is shut down. No one comes in, and no one gets out. Count your blessing I didn't hit the panic button."

"Mellie let me ask you something. Why would a seemingly intelligent attractive woman constantly obsess over a man that does not want her? Why would she want anything from him? And furthermore, why on earth would she attempt to interfere with the relationship between that man and his son? Better yet, why would said woman not realize when she is about to wake up a sleeping bear? When she woken up a sleeping bear."

"Olivia, I know Fitzgerald and I know one thing that you will never catch on to. You are not the one for him. I may not be the one, but don't think for a second that you are either. He'll be through with you soon enough, and you'll be in the same boat as me."

Liv looked at Mellie and truly felt sorry for her. She had heard tales of how intelligent and bold Mellie was. How she had a passion for knowledge and how she exceled at everything she did. Melli Grant used to be a force to be reckoned with.

"Mellie, do you not understand that Fitz is done with you. He doesn't want you. One would think that you would have realized that when he threw you out of the White House after finding out two of his children were his siblings. You are disgusting."

"You know what's disgusting Liv? How you think that every time he left you he'd come home depressed. You are a fool to think that. Yes he had his fun with you. All powerful men have a mistress but every morning he came home to his WIFE and he couldn't keep his hands or his mouth off of me."

Liv scoffed at Mellie's words. The woman was truly oblivious.

"Mellie I am going to say this once and only once so listen and listen well. Fitz didn't come home and stick his tongue down your throat because he missed you. He did it so you would know he spent the entire night before with me, pleasuring me, tasting me, making love to me. Every kiss, every breathtaking kiss, every kiss where you thought it was so good and couldn't stop sucking on his tongue was you tasting me. It was his way of telling you exactly what he thought of you."

Liv's mouth curved upward into a crooked smile as she watched Mellie's mouth fall open. She was utterly speechless. But Liv wasn't done yet.

"You walk around complaining to anyone that will listen about how you made Fitz. How Fitz was nothing before he met you, how Fitz would still be nothing if it weren't for you. But you dearest Mellicent were nothing more than the most upscale of whores. You sold yourself to him. You sold your body, promising kids and random mid day blowjobs so that he could sit in the oval. You promised to give up the life you wanted to lay on your back and produce orgasms for him and in return, you were paid a very hefty sum."

Mellie sat there still unable to speak. She couldn't believe that she was being spoken to in this manner by Olivia Pope of all people.

"Furthermore Mellicent, I will never be in the same boat as you. You see unlike you, I AM the mother of his BIOLOGICAL CHILD which is far more than one could say about you. Now as for my son, Zion has more intelligence and class in his left pinky than you can forge through your entire body. Our son is destined for great things. He will be powerful, he will be strong. You may not like the fact that he is here but nothing you think or feel matters. We are a family and we will remain a family. Fitz is in love with him, Fitz is in love with me and I am in love with him. Zion is an amazing boy, and with his father and me by his side guiding him every step of the way, he will be an even greater man. Now, if you ever in your lifetime bring your crazy mess in his presence again, I will rip your throat out myself."

Liv stopped speaking for a minute as her phone began to ring. She picked up her phone and saw it was Fitz.

"Hey sexy."

"Hi. Are you feeling better?"

"I'll be feeling better when you get home and make love to me ALLLLLL NIGGGHT LONG. I'll be even better when you do that thing you do with your tongue."

"Hmmm, really?" Fitz, said as he listened to Liv moaning over the phone.

"Especially the way you make love to me over and over for hours on end, the you hold me through the night as we lay there just talking and kissing. Just loving one another. Hmmm Fitz I'm getting wet just thinking about it."

"Hmmmm, I wish I could right now but the elevator isn't working. Neither is your code for the stairs... Wait, have you been drinking?"

"Yes." Liv said as she stood up and punched a code into her alarm system.

"Try it now."

Fitz tried the code again and sure enough, the elevator began to move.

"See you in a bit. Keep it hot for me."

"You'd better believe I am." Liv said as she hung up.

"Your children are here. If I were you I'd take my advice and keep your sick, deluded, twisted self away from my man and my son. Class dismissed now get out!"

Mellie stood and looked at Liv before walking towards the elevator.

"You will see Olivia, he will break you like he broke me and I will be there singing I told you so."

"Correction, you let him break you. I love Fitz, but he does not have that power over me. Things happen that you allow to happen. He didn't break you, you allowed yourself to become comfortable with the life you had with him. You settled. Once it ended, you were so stuck in your ways, you didn't know how to function on your own. Go find a life, better yet get laid because I am done." Liv said as she closed the door in Mellie's face.

Mellie stood in the hallway speechless, waiting for Fitz so she could gather her children. She had never seen Liv that way and she hated to admit it but it scared her. As the elevator door opened, Mellie shot the children an evil glance. She would deal with them later. She forged a smile for Fitz and passed him without saying a word. It was then he realized that Mellie had been listening to his conversation with Liv.

Fitz said goodbye to the children as they thanked him for the most fun day they'd had in a long time. He watched as the elevator door closed and they made their way downstairs. Thankful Mellie was gone, Fitz walked inside and searched for Liv.

"Livvie!?"

"I'm in the bedroom!"

Fitz entered the bedroom and found Liv laying on the bed reading.

"What happened?" Fitz asked completely stunned.

"What do you mean Fitz?" Liv asked as if nothing had happened between her and Mellie.

"Something happened and I want to know about it.i also want to know about this feature that shuts down access to your floor. Why haven't we used this sooner?"

"Mellie and I had a little chat. As for the security feature, we can use it any time you want." Liv said winking her eye.

"So what happened? Did you Pope Mellie? Did I miss the Pope'ing?" Fitz asked as he jumped to his knees and straddled Liv.

"I asked her why she was so obsessed with you and why she couldn't refrain from trying to come between you and Zion." Liv said as she removed Fitz's shirt.

"And?"

"Well, she told me that you would be over me soon and I would be in the same boat as her." Liv said as she ran her hand up and down Fitz's stomach.

"And?"

"Well, I told her that she was disgusting that someone so intelligent needs to realize that you were over her." Liv said as she unbuckled Fitz's belt and discarded it on the floor.

"And?"

"She told me that everytime you came home after seeing me you would stick your tongue down her throat."

"And you said?"

"Then I told her that everytime you left me and stuck your tongue down her throat, every time she moaned into your mouth and sucked the taste from your tongue it was my juices she was tasting. That the kiss was to let her know that you spent the night before between my legs. Tasting me, touching me, making love to me." Liv said as she pushed Fitz pants down past his waist and began fisting his hardened length.

"And?" Fitz moaned at the feeling of Liv's hand wrapped around him.

"I told her she was the most upscale of whores as she accepted money to spend her life lying on her back for you. Then I told her that I was already nothing like her because unlike her, I was able to produce a biological child for you."

"And"

"Then I told her that if she ever messed with Zion or you again, that I would rip her throat out." Liv said as she looked down and watched Fitz explode all over her outfit.

"Fitz! What the actual fuck!?"

"I'm sorry Livvie, but listening to how you shut Mellie down was just too orgasmic for me."

"I can see that!"Liv laughed as she pushed Fitz off of her. Liv began to remove her clothing, and was shocked but delighted when Fitz grabbed Liv from behind and threw her onto the bed, and proceeded to free her of her bra and panties before climbing on top of her.

Fitz began kissing Liv and she groaned when she felt another erection beginning to form.

"How the hell are you hard again already?" Liv asked just before Fitz rammed his tongue down her throat.

"Quiet, I'm trying to practice getting you pregnant." Fitz said before claiming Liv's lips.
