Chapter 7
OLIVIA
Prison became hell for me after I give burn. The policeman who helped me before, transferred two days later I think he was so traumatized by what he saw that he didn’t want to be anywhere near me after 1 had an infection after giving birth, but I didn’t know that it was an infection. I thought it was just side effects after giving birth.
No one told me what was normal and what was not in that situation The policeman’s last good deed was to tell the doctor about it when I asked him to. The doctor checked on me and told me that I had what is called PDI (Pelvic inflammatory Disease) she said bacteria infected my uterus and surrounding areas after giving birth
She gave me pills, said I would be fine after taking them and I only took them for a day until those animals decided I deserved a beating because Nick ordered them to.
They beat me up so badly and flushed my pills down the toilet. They never told anyone about my beating, and no one cared to check on me. I was almost dead and smelling because of the discharge when a new police officer came into my cell
I think he was a replacement for the nice one who left. He took me to the infirmary where I woke up a week later with my womb gone. The doctor told me that the infection spread and damaged it. By then i was numb to everything.
I kept quiet and never spoke to anyone since that day. I was dead. inside and the only thing that kept me going was my baby. I didn’t Care whether they brought me food or not. I didn’t care when they beat me up and left me for dead.
I wanted to die, but for some reason, that never happened. That damn police officer always found me and took me to the doctor. She always told me I was the most unlucky woman she has ever met. 1 couldn’t dispute that; a lot of bad things have happened to me.
I know a year has passed since a gave birth and that would mean. my baby boy was now a year old. I often wonde. .how he looked, if he would recognise me one day when I see him. My cell door. opened, and I braced myself for another beating.
I knew that when that door opened, those animals were bored and wanted to entertain themselves with me. Beating me up and forcing me to scream. I knew my screams gave them pleasure and
satisfaction. So, I stopped screaming, I would just let my tears fall, it pissed them off, but I didn’t care.
This day, instead of the animals I was waiting for, my mother and father in law’s faces appeared. When I saw them, I fell on my knees and cried. My mother–in–law rushed to my side and held me tightly crying with me and apologizing over and over.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Mom, oh mom, you are here.” I lost hope of ever seeing her a long time ago, I thought she came back and sided with her son. But she didn’t, she was here. I couldn’t stop my tears from falling.
“Oh, my daughter, I am so sorry that I didn’t come back sooner. If we knew, we would have returned a long time ago. Am sorry Olivia.” My father–in–law came and helped me up. He looked at me and teared up. I must look so bad for him to tear up and look so sad like that.
“Oh, my daughter. What have they done to you?” He hugged me tight, I felt safe in his arms. He has always been like a father to me. “I am alright, dad.” He shook his head then turned to the other man that was also standing there looking like he was shocked to see me.
“I want to know what happened to her while she was in here. This is your station David, and my daughter looks like she was treated worse than an animal and David, I will have your head for this.” | looked at them, the man was the police chief.
I hated him too. “Mr Jones, I didn’t know anything bout her mistreatment, I will investigate and get to the boom of this.” I scoffed. “There is no need for that, my husband wanted me to be mistreated and they followed his orders.” My mother–in–law shook her head crying when she heard me say that.
“Olivia what are you saying?” She asked. “Don’t worry about me mom, I will be fine. Just please look after my grandma while I am in here. I have not been able to see or talk to her in two years. I need to know that she is alright.” My mother–in–law cried even more.
I went and hugged her. “I will be fine mom, don’t you worry.” She
“You are not staying here Olivia, we are getting you out and taking you home.” I could not believe what I was hearing, I fell on my knees and cried painfully holding my chest.
shook her head wiping her tears but more came worry.” She
“Don’t cry now child, everything is going to be alright.” I could not stop crying. I had lost hope of ever getting out of jail and seeing the outside world.
“Where is my grandmother, I want to see her. She must be so worried and not seeing me for this long must have deteriorated her health. I want her to know that I am alright.” My mother–in–law looked at me with sad eyes as we were about to get into the car, and I wondered what happened to my grandmother.
“She got too sick, didn’t she? I knew something like that would happen. Please, take me to see her, she needs to know that I am okay.”
“Your grandmother is dead, Olivia. She died a year ago.”
