The couple returned home with their relationship back on track. That was the whole goal of the trip for Fitz. He just never anticipated his wife would fix him in so many ways.
Shortly after their return Tonya completed rehab. Tom & Lauren went to Texas to pick her up. When they arrived back Tom brought her to see Olivia & Fitz.
To Tonya's surprise it was a welcome home dinner. Tonya was overwhelmed by the love and support that Olivia gave her.
The two of them talked often. When Tonya was allowed access to a computer they shared emails. Other than her brother Olivia was her biggest fan.
Tom & Lauren had told her they had money put away for her due to the generosity of the Grants. Not to mention a job was waiting for her.
Olivia had another surprise for Tonya. She had spoken with Erin and had her to bring Tonya new clothes, shoes, and accessories.
After dinner Olivia stood up to toast Tonya's return. As Olivia began to speak Tonya was amazed at the warmth in which she spoke about her.
Olivia said, "Tonya we are happy to see you. Not as much as Tom, but close. My husband saved me and I have made it my mission to pay it forward. I'm proud of you for putting in the work. Everyone here is proud of you. No one is judging you. We are your friends. We are your family. This is your life now. No one can take it away. We are here for you. Don't be afraid to ask for help. I'm so proud of you and I hope that you are proud of yourself."
The week after Tonya got back she began working at the firm. She fit right in. Tonya & Lauren got along really well. Tonya was happy that her brother found someone who loved him for him. Life couldn't get any better she thought until Olivia called her in the office one day to discuss a project that she needed Tonya's assistance on.
No one else knew about it other than Huck.
The couple continued to build their brand. They handled a wide variety of issues. Some were simple while others were complex and required long-term management.
Olivia was also helping domestic violence victims in her own way. She had taken some of them on as clients pro-bono to help them get out of their marriage with minimal issues. It all started when Kerry called Olivia one day and asked if she could talk to a woman who was in a shelter.
Olivia accepted and they went to speak to the woman's name was Anita Brown. Olivia found out that she was married to NBA player Antwone Brown who had been beating her for years. For a while she had used drugs to cope, but sobered up so she could get her and her children out. She did, but the problem was that if she filed for divorce he had already threaten to use her past drug use against her. He had hit the kids a couple of times, but not as bad and as often as he beat her. The kids were afraid of him. He had a temper.
Olivia put Huck on the case. It took no time to find out about his drug use, his affairs, the medical records from her physicians and hospitals where their second and vacation homes were to show she was being beaten. The doctors never bought her story that she had fallen, but were powerless since she said she wasn't being abused.
Jenny & Olivia looked over her pre-nup. Since they had been married more than 15 years the pre-nup did nothing for him so they came up with an offer.
When Tonya called him in for the meeting he was rude and arrogant, but agreed to come. They both knew it was because he thought his wife was there.
When he walked in he was shocked to only find Olivia, Jenny, and Fitz sitting at the table. Tonya was sitting in a chair in the corner observing. Fitz always sat in. More to make sure no one was dumb enough to put their hands on his wife. Now that she was six months pregnant she wasn't able to run from place to place so he also made sure that she was ok.
When Olivia passed the offer sheet over to him and his attorney he laughed.
He said, "You are one dumb bitch if you think I will ever pay her this much money. Also she is not going to keep me away from my kids. So fuck you and her."
In the past that would have pissed Fitz off, but he knew his wife. This was business. He didn't need to play the husband card unless he put his hands on his wife.
Olivia laughed, "I am a lot of things. I'll even accept that I am a bitch because I am a female dog. Specifically I am a pit bull, and your bark will never be as loud as mine. I know you think that you are the shit. On the court you might be, but see you are in my house and I make the rules."
He smirked, "Really because I remember your ex-husband really well. I know he used to beat that ass. So when did you all of a sudden become a pit bull."
Olivia felt the tension radiating from Fitz's body. She touched his leg to assure him that she was fine. Jenny was clearly bothered by his statement and so was Tonya. Ironically the only one who seemed to be fine was Olivia.
Olivia smiled, "I became a pit bull the day I got out. The day my husband found me and showed me that a man never ever lays a hand on a woman. I became a pit bull when I became Olivia Grant. This is who is in front of you. The same woman who destroyed Jerry Grant when he tried to blackmail my client. The same woman who embarrassed a woman after she lied and said she was being beaten. The same woman who has multi-billion dollar clients on speed dial. Some of them you are under contract with now. I don't think they will like all that I found out about you."
He laughed, "You have nothing so go fuck yourself."
Olivia nodded, "As soon as I deal with you I will go get fucked but I won't be alone."
It took everything for them to not burst out laughing. Olivia was dead serious at the moment. She was in battle, and she would stay there until she won for her client. Olivia nodded and Tonya sat down a folder for him and his attorney to review.
It was everyday stuff that anyone could find so she expected no reaction but she knew in five seconds that would all changed. She counted in her head and exactly five seconds later she heard the gasp.
Olivia smiled, "See I told you I was a bitch. So this can go either one of two ways. You accept the terms and sign now or tomorrow morning you will wake up to your life being ruined and I will take you for everything I can based on the laws in the state of California. Your choice."
The lawyer knew his client had no choice but to agree. He pulled out his pin and gave it to his clients. He told him to be thankful that she didn't take him for everything. NDA were signed. The public wouldn't hear anything other than the couple decided to part ways.
Olivia smiled, "It was nice doing business with you, but gentlemen I am going to have to ask you to leave so I can go home to get fucked. Pregnancy hormones are a bitch."
When the men left the room they all burst out laughing. It was a moment. Fitz was so proud of his wife.
Tonya was still in shock, "Wow you are a pit bull. What was the settlement?"
Olivia smiled, "A one time payment of 25 million. College funds of one million for each of their children. Three of their six homes. Four of their ten vehicles. She has full custody of the kids, and he can have no contact with them unless a licensed professional has signed off on it. The children also must be comfortable. If the professional signs off it will be supervised visits for a year. Our office will coordinate the visits, location, and you Tonya will write the reports on the visit. She agrees to never speak ill of him in public. She will not disclose the details of their marriage. He will also pay for her to receive professional help for the next two years. He is responsible for maintaining insurance on the children until they graduate high school if they don't go to college and if they go to college until the age of 25. He will maintain medical insurance for her for the next two years, and will pay for any medical procedure including plastic surgery if it is related to her injuries."
Olivia Grant had done it again. Thirty minutes later Anita was brought in the office by Huck.
Olivia smiled and slid the folder over to her showing the terms of the divorce. As she read them she couldn't stop from crying. For the first time she was going to be okay. She felt like she could breathe. Best of all she knew that her three children would be okay.
She looked up and smiled, "Thank you. Kerry was right. You are heaven-sent."
She signed the papers. When she got to the last one she looked at Olivia and asked, "I don't see where your fee was deducted."
Olivia nodded, "You are right. I provided my services to you pro bono."
She grabbed Fitz's hand. "Someone had to save me. Now I can help save others. If you want to pay me I am working on a project that I could use some help on. I need to talk to my husband first, but the plan is to get everything rolling before I go on maternity leave."
Anita smiled, "Anything you name it. You have my number. Thank you again. Do you mind me asking what are you having?"
Olivia grinned, "It is a girl. I look forward to introducing you to Sabrina Elle."
Anita smiled. She got up and hugged Olivia and Fitz. Anita was walking out the room and she turned around, "Fitz I am glad you saved her. The world gets to shine a little brighter with your wife around. I know you have to be a good man. Thank you for giving me a reason to live. Thank you for showing me that there is hope. With time and healing I know that someone is out there who will love and cherish me for me."
Olivia had tears in her eyes as she listened to Anita. The compliment touched the couple. Fitz went over and grabbed her hand, "I have no doubt you will come out on top. If you need anything call us. No matter the time you can call us. In a couple of months we won't have a set schedule anymore when Bri comes, but I wouldn't have it any other way."
Anita hugged him and nodded. Huck left with Anita to make sure that she made it back to the house she was staying in. Huck wanted to keep an eye on her for a little longer to make sure Antwone didn't pull anything.
Fitz turned around and he looked at his wife. She had this smirk on her face that told him everything. For the last month or so sex had become a need. It was no longer a want. Olivia had become insatiable. Fitz now had to think where they didn't have sex instead of where they had sex, but you wouldn't hear him complain.
Fitz closed and locked the door. He shut the blinds. By the time he made it over to Olivia she had her dress hiked up.
Fitz laughed, "Where are your panties?"
Olivia smiled, "I knew I needed you before we made it home so I took them off. Now can we stop talking, and you enjoy this quickie with you wife?"
Fitz didn't get a chance to respond. Olivia had his pants and boxers off in record time. She pushed him on the sofa and slid down on his cock.
Fitz threw his head back, "Shit Livvie"
She smiled. She loved this new power she had over him. Olivia needed a release and she needed it quickly so she was riding him hard and fast.
Olivia was nibbling on his ear, "Baby you feel so good. You like how I ride your dick don't you."
Olivia moaned in his ear which turned Fitz on. He couldn't say anything. She had total control. He tried to get it back, but she pulled back and smiled at him.
Olivia lifted up till the tip was the only think inside of her and she slammed back down on him, and when she did she would swirl her hips.
Fitz just looked at her. She smiled at him and then she began to play with her nipples. She knew this turned him on. He wouldn't last much longer.
Olivia stopped and Fitz looked at her like she lost her mind. Olivia said, "This is my show. Enjoy it baby."
Fitz let go and Olivia gave him a show. Fitz finally lost it and let go. Olivia was right there with him.
All you could hear was heavy breathing in the room. The couple stayed like that for a while. They finally got ready to leave.
Fitz turned, "When are you going to tell me about the project that you mentioned to Anita babe?"
Olivia nodded, "Tonight after dinner. Everything is in the office that I need to show you."
Fitz said okay. The couple locked up and made their way home. After two more rounds of intense lovemaking in the shower they finally got clean. After dinner they went into the office so Olivia could show him the project that she was working on.
Fitz could tell that she was nervous. He pulled her into his arms, "You can show me anything. I'll always be your biggest cheerleader."
Olivia relaxed. She brought the laptop over to the sofa and pulled up the link that she needed to show Fitz.
Olivia said, "So you know Huck & Tonya have known about the project. As far as Huck you will see why in a second. It should also explain Tonya, but if not I will explain."
Fitz nodded. Olivia pulled up the site and handed him the computer. She got up and sat at the desk. For some reason she was now nervous. It wasn't so much that she was second guessing her decision, but she wanted him to love the idea as much as she did. She wondered if he thought it was stupid or it would take away from them and their business.
Fifteen minutes later Fitz finally looked up and locked eyes with Olivia. She noticed that his eyes were glassy. It was like he was trying to keep from crying. She wasn't sure what this meant.
Fitz said, "Talk to me Livvie. I want you to tell me about Livvie's House of Love. I want to hear it from you."
His tone relaxed her. She could tell he was on board, but he wanted to hear the complete plan from her.
Olivia began, "I want to create a nonprofit foundation which as you know I name it Livvie's House of Love. You call me Livvie. I feel when I am Livvie there is nothing I can't accomplish because I know you support me. Huck helped me to locate three homes that we can turn into domestic violence safe houses. He will handle the security. I spoke with Dr. Phil and his wife Robin. They are big on ending domestic violence. She has a foundation When Georgia's Smile. They have created an app to help domestic violence victims. There is an option if they need a safe place to stay the app helps them get to safety. If you approve me making the purchases they will add our homes as safe houses. In addition we will provide them with counseling, job assistance, and legal assistance. For the big cases I was hoping that I could continue to help pro bono even if they end up millionaires. Huck created the page which is what you were looking at. Tonya is a licensed therapist. She renewed her license so I was hoping to use her more for the foundation. There is a young lady at the shelter where Anita was. Anita said she use to be an executive assistant for a Fortune 500 company until her husband made her quit. I was hoping you would consider us giving her a chance."
Fitz smiled, "Where are the houses at?"
Olivia nodded, "One in San Diego, Sacramento, and one here in Beverly Hills. Each house already has at least six bedrooms. If you approve Tonya, Kerry, and I are going to work on getting a staff. Huck in between investigations will work on the houses. I planned on using my money to get everything started. When I was talking to Kerry she mentioned that I should have a gala to raise money. Maybe do it yearly. After Bri is born and we get the parenting thing down maybe I could consider the gala."
Fitz nodded. He was taking everything in, "What is your endgame with this foundation and I need you to be honest with me?"
Olivia nodded, "I love my career. I don't want to ever completely give it up, but I hope down the road to build a team and I only consult and assist with selecting what clients we take on. So I guess I am saying that down the road I want to put most of my time and energy into being a wife, mother, and making a difference through the foundation. I know as Olivia Grant that I can go toe to toe with the best of them. I am good at my job, but I don't want that to be my only legacy. I want to be the formidable Olivia Grant who was one of the best in the world at handling a crisis, but she was an even better philanthropist. She saved women and children when they thought all hope was lost. I want you to go to bed every night, and know that it was worth saving me that night. I want our children to understand the importance of giving back. A career is important, but it is nothing if you don't pay it forward."
Fitz nodded. He pulled Olivia in his lap. He caressed her face. Olivia melted into his hands. She loved when he treated her like she was a precious metal.
Fitz smiled, "I was sold the moment that you showed me the website. It is a well thought out plan. I support you 100% in this decision. I will help Huck with the house. You said you would use your money. That is wrong. Remember we don't have separate accounts. We will go to the bank and transfer however many millions you want and open up a business account so we can keep the foundation separate from our personal funds. We will get a business manager to help you keep up with the financial aspect, but they will still show us everything and run everything by us. If this is where your heart is then I support you. When you feel we need to take someone on we will. It is clear that you are happy. That is all that matters to me. Every night I go to bed with you next to me I know I made the right decision. Your happiness is everything to me. If Bri is half the woman her mommy is then she will be alright."
At that exact moment Bri began to kick. The couple laughed.
Fitz laughed. He had his hands on Olivia's belly. He said, "I know you agree Bri. You can already tell how smart, funny, and loving your mom is don't you."
Bri kicked. Fitz laughed.
Fitz said, "Honey spend the next three months focusing more on the foundation. We can take a couple of small cases, but you need to slow down some. This won't be as stressful. Dr. Miles said that you may have to go on bed rest towards the end of your pregnancy with Bri's size since your back has been bothering you here and there."
Olivia was shocked and not sure why. She had no doubt he would be supportive, but still the level of support meant everything to her.
Olivia agreed that was a good idea.
Fitz said, "Oh and yes I think you should try the young lady out. Domestic violence affects all walks of life. I say if they have experience and you feel like they can be of some use do what you need to do. I would rather give them a second chance than going through a long hiring process. Huck can do the backgrounds to make sure nothing else is in their history."
Olivia could only hug her husband. The tears were falling and she didn't try to stop them. For the first time since she left Jake she felt like she had complete and total control of her life. She was the driver. She determined where her life was headed. It was made sweeter by her husband. She knew he had no problem being her passenger, but if she ever got tired she knew he would take over as driver until she was able to take the wheel back over.
Olivia was laying on Fitz's chest, "Honey when will the stuff for the nursery come. I don't want to wait until the last-minute to get that done. Also the team is coming down next month. Abby is throwing us a baby shower so I was hoping to have it done."
Fitz replied, "Everything should be here by the end of the week. I had to special order the organic paint. I was planning for us to stay in next weekend and get it done."
Olivia agreed. He heard her yawning. He could tell she was almost sleep. She was tired more and could fall asleep anywhere. The doctor told them she was fine. It was all part of the pregnancy. Her iron levels were still good.
He held her in his arms as he took her to bed. She immediately snuggled into him. Fitz smiled. He was content. Olivia had found her niche. She was doing something that made her happy. It brought her peace knowing she was fixing more than people problems. She was giving back and in a big way. He kissed her forehead. As he was headed to sleep he vowed to support her every step of the way.
A/N-What do you think? Tom's sister made an entrance. Olivia helped a woman get a chance at rebuilding her life. You also see Olivia decide how she wants to give back. Countdown to baby Sabrina.
