My Psychotic Husband

Olivia's POV

Hoof!! I grasped as I dropped my last belongings in my new apartment. I rummaged through the cartons, placing every item, where it's supposed to be.

The apartment was a good one though. It was painted in pink and blue. It had a mini bed near an open balcony that was demarcated with glass. It's closet was a little big though, and it's bathroom was well furnished and well designed.

In 3 hours time, I was through with offloading my belongings and dropping them in their respective compartments.

Well to start with, I stay alone because I just finished college and came to a new city to look for a job.

I'm a psychiatrist doctor, but I've never had a work experience. My mom, dad and siblings all live in London, but I came to California to work. I've always dreamt of living an independent life and now, here I am accomplishing it.

The vibration of my phone in my pocket, brought me out of my thoughts. "Hello!!" I said to the speaker, once I picked up the call.

"Hello Olivia, it's me Bella, I called to check if you have arrived at your apartment" my childhood friend called to tell me. We were very close back in London.

"Yes, I just got here, how are you?" I asked her.

"I'm fine and you?"

"I'm good" I replied.

"Ok I got to get back to work, my bossy boss is calling me"

"Ok dear, bye" I bid her before she hung up. I felt fermished, so I went into my kitchen that wasn't that big and prepared some pancakes. My dinner is already settled, it's going to be in a restaurant.

My TV was already set, I sat on the blue velvet sofa and watched a programme. After watching the TV, I wore a pink and black hoodie and a black joggers with socks and converse.

As I went out, the cool breeze brushed my skin and it made me shiver. It blew from the direction of the road to me. I walked through the quiet street till I saw an McDonald's. I went in and ordered hamburger and lemonade.

I ate quietly and alone on my table till a slim, tall, light skinned girl walked to me. "I'm Cynthia, and I saw you coming out of your new apartment, so I thought if we could at least be friends" she said.

"Yes of course, well am new here and my name is Olivia" I told her smiling.

"Wow, that's nice. Well I work in a psychiatrist hospital, as it's pharmacist" I stopped drinking my lemonade, dropped the glass on the table and turned to her.

"Am a psychiatrist doctor and I came here to work" I told her feeling excited.

"Really!!! Wow, such a coincidence. You just met the right person" I smiled at her words.

"Erm.... can we exchange contacts, so tomorrow, you can take me to the hospital?" I asked her.

"Sure" she said giving me her's and vice versa.

"Ok good bye" she told me.

"See ya" I shouted from the door, before running out of the McDonald's. I need to go prepare for tomorrow, because I need to apply as a doctor in the hospital. As soon as I reached home, I went to my closet and rummaged through it.

I finally settled my mind on a red straight cut gown. It was long sleeved and had an open back. I made sure I prepared everything I needed for tomorrow before going to bed.

The chirps of the birds, woke me up from sleep. I glanced at the wall clock and it was 6'o'clock. I quickly got up, brushed my teeth, took my bath and wore my clothe. I wore my heels before packing my hair in a neat bun.

After having my breakfast, I heard a knock on the door. I rushed to the door, and saw Cynthia. She wore a black A cut gown, holding a lab coat in her right arm. She let her hair pour on her shoulder making her more beautiful and pretty.

"Hi" she grinned, with a gleamy smile.

"Hello, welcome" I said letting her in. She looked around my house and was astonished. Though it wasn't all that big or expensive, it was furnished and neat. "How did you get to know my house?" I asked her, giving her a glass of orange juice.

"Remember, I told you, I saw you coming out of your apartment" she said taking in another gulp.

"Oh!!" I coed from behind. "Please I will be with you in a minute" I told her going to get my hand bag and wrap up some other things, before coming out.

"Shall we?" I asked her gleaming.

"Ok" she got up and we exited my door, not forgetting to lock the door. We took a bolt, passing through different beautiful streets before we came in front of a huge, large building. It had the name 'PSYCHIATRIST HOSPITAL' on the building. We quietly came down from the bolt and payed the driver.

We walked into the hospital and everyone's eyes were roaming round my body. I felt a little uncomfortable but I let it go. We walked pass the receptionist and headed to the head of department office.

The office was well furnished and had portraits of awards, merits and health benefits round the four corners of the office. "Welcome Miss Olivia, Miss Cynthia called yesterday at midnight and informed us that you want to work with us as a psychiatrist doctor" I smiled.

"Yes sir" I replied him.

"Ok, how old are you?" He asked me.

"I'm 24 sir" I said in a polite voice.

"What are your qualifications?" He asked, getting engrossed in the discussion.

"Well, I'm a college degree graduate with a degree in psychiatrist medicine" I informed him. We did other clarifications before the interview finished

"Well, Miss Olivia, from the information I've received from you, I think you are up to our standard" I smiled down.

"Thank you sir" I said a little bit shy.

"I wish to inform you that, you've been employed and you can start work as soon as possible" I almost squealed out of excitement.

"Thank you sir" I told him.

"Now Miss Cynthia, you can take Miss Olivia to...... wait, we have a special patient that needs effective and efficient care. I think you will be capable, Miss Olivia" I nodded at him, even though I was nervous because this is my first time of practicing my course.

"So urmmmm......" He said going through some keys before finding it and turning back to us. "It's room 303" I heard Cynthia shift from my side and I turned to her. I saw a look of pity in her eyes, but I kept quiet so we could discuss it when we were out.

"Ok sir" Cynthia said before we left the office.

"Why did you act like it was a bad place he sent me to?" I asked her as we walked in the large hallway.

"Olivia....the room in which you've been sent to, well....the patient in it, his absolutely and fiercely crazy. He's a maniac and all the doctors sent there to care of him either went home with broken head or legs." Fear gripped me as she spoke.

"What?"

"Yeah, just be safe and careful, okay?" She assured me.

"Yeah" I said still nervous.

Soon, we reached, room 303. It was a metal door with a see through on the door. Cynthia twisted the bolt of the door and it opened. She gave me a final nod before she left for her own department. I quietly walked into the room, though it was dark, I saw a figure in the room.

I quietly went to the window, illuminating light into the room and opened it. I turned back to my patient and sat close to him on the bed. I took a deep breath before I started.

"Hi.......my name is Olivia and I will be your new personal doctor, what about you?" I asked calmly. He kept mute till he raised his face to me and I almost jumped. He was cute and very handsome. His blonde hair fell to his left eye. He had extremely brown eyes, which the light outside illuminated on.

His skin looked soft and tender. He looked at me closely and walked to a table in the room. He was tall and muscular. The psychiatrist patient uniform, fitted him well.

He walked back to me with a white file that I thought was his personal information. He gave it to me once he returned and continued looking at me. I opened the file, the rasp noise filling the empty, silent room.

I went through his personal information and discovered his name was Charles white. He was 31 years old. I turned back to him and still met him looking focusly, at me.

"So... erm...." I started.

"Can you please tell me what you like and what you don't like?" I asked him. He bit his full, pink lips before cupping my face with his hand. His touch was tender and soft. It made me comfortable and relaxed. He still kept quiet and continued staring at me.

"Ok please, can you please talk to me at least" I said, getting tired of his quietness.

"I like you" his voice sent shivers through my spine. It caused me to shudder. I deadpanned at him, looking confused. I shifted a little bit from him.

"I don't understand" I told him.

"Can we be friends?" I was shocked at the question he just asked me.

"Y-yes of course, we can" I told him with a light smile. He smiled at me, showing his white glittering teeth.

"Will you permit me to call you, Liv?" He asked.

"Yes, you can Charles" I smiled at him. He stood up and went to a corner in the room and brought out a ball, before coming back to the bed, where we sat.

"Will you play with me?" He asked me.

"Yeah" I answered. He started by throwing the ball to me and I threw it back to him. We continued like that as we sat on the bed. From my observations, Charles is intelligent, smart, cute and educated. I wondered what made such a young handsome man psychotic.

We were still playing with the ball, when the door opened. The HODs head popped in and looked at us. "Please can I speak with you, Miss Olivia?" He requested.

"Yes sir, I will be with you shortly" I said before he left. I turned to Charles and met a sad look on his face. "What's the problem dear?" I asked him, as I took his large hand in mine.

"You're going to leave me" he pouted.

"Oh...I won't leave you, I just need to wrap up some things, okay?" He nodded in response. I bid him good bye before walking out of the room.

As I walked out of the room, other staffs glared at me like I committed a crime, but I didn't look at them. I softly knocked on the HODs office. "You can come in" he said. I walked in and the room was a little bit cold because of the air conditioner.

"Sit down miss" he said. I obeyed and looked upright at him. "How did you do it, Olivia?" I was perplexed at his question and how he addressed me by my name and not adding a 'miss'.

"Do what sir?" I asked him confusedly.

"Like, I mean.... how did you calm Charles down? He never listen to anyone and on top of that, you were playing with him. How?" He asked.

I smiled at him before I replied. "I just came into the room, met him sitting on his bed, at first I was scared because, psychotics don't stay at one place except the aggressive ones. Then he requested that I play with him" I told him.

"Do you know that, for the first time in 3 years, Charles is friendly and I saw a smile plastered on his face that made me shocked because he never smiles" he informed me. I wasn't that surprised though because, he seems like it.

"I knew you could do it and I appreciate it. Please keep on acting the way you did to him" he stated.

"Thank you sir" I said before I took my leave. I already had the direction to the room in my head, so I walked there. As soon as I entered the room, I dodged an object that was about to hit my head.

I looked around the room and saw Charles scattering everywhere. He looked very angry. "Charles stop, stop it" I yelled at him. He continued throwing things for sometime before he stopped.

I went close to him as he sat on the floor. His body was vibrating, like he was passing through shock. I gently placed my hand on his shoulder as I sat beside him. "What's the problem Charles?" I asked him, quietly. He turned to me and his eyes that were full of rage, melted as they met with mine.

He quickly hugged me, wrapping his arms around me. I didn't know what to do, so I wrapped mine around his torso. He relaxed into the embrace as I did so too. After some few minutes, we broke the embrace. By this time, his body stopped shaking. "Come on, I think you need some rest" I told him.

We both stood up and went to the bed. He layed on the bed, placing his head on my laps. I started brushing his blonde hair with my hands as he slept.

After 20 minutes, I checked the time and realized it was almost closing hour. I gently removed his head from my laps and placed it on the bed. I wanted to give him something that when he sees it, he will remember me and keep calm.

I looked down at my necklace that had a love pendant. I removed it and wore it on Charles neck. I took one last glance at him, before leaving. I quickly ran to the pharmacy in the hospital and luckily, I met Cynthia there. "Wow, everyone have been talking about you through out today" she told me as she packed her things to leave.

"Really?" I blushed from my position.

"Yeah, they said you're a blessing and that you've calmed the fierce lion" she said she smiling.

I smiled back at her, as we approached the exit door. "Why didn't you come for lunch today?" She asked me as we walked through the passway.

"Well, Charles didn't want me to go, so I stayed and played with him" I told her. She suddenly turned to me, with a shocked expression on her face.

"What?" She stuttered out.

"Yeah and he's good and smart" I told her. "But why is such a handsome young man in that kind of condition?" I asked her as we were still walking.

"Charles was brought here, 3 years ago and he was really in a critical condition. He was involved in an accident that damaged his brain cells, making it to trigger his brain. The doctors said he will never recover, but for this few years, he have stayed with us, I really think he's improving because, at the time his family brought him, he almost killed one of our cleaners. That's why everyone was surprised that he didn't hurt you" she stated.

I was perplexed at what she just told me. "What about his family?" I asked her when we reached my apartment.

"His father is a rich billionaire and is influential in this country. They all live in this city and pays him a visit every Saturday" she said.

"Wow" I said speechlessly.

"Ok, at this juncture, we have to separate and end the discussion and we will see tomorrow" she said smiling.

"Wait, I don't know your apartment" I informed her.

"Ohh!!....it's just a few blocks away from yours" she said, pointing at a building close to mine.

"Ok, see you tomorrow, bye" I told her as I entered my apartment. I went straight to the kitchen and took a glass of cold water. I went to my bedroom soon after and wore a jean short that was ripped and a knitted cardigan.

I went to the kitchen later on and prepared omelettes. After dishing it in a plastic plate, I retired to the sitting room to watch TV. After eating my omelettes, I drank an orange juice before going to take a nap.

The ringtone of my phone was what woke me up from my sleep. I glanced at the time and saw it was 7:pm. I looked at the screen of my phone to check the caller and I saw it was Cynthia.

"Hellow" I said in a sleepy tone.

"Wow, you've been sleeping by this time?" She asked me chuckling from the speaker.

"Yeah, I just got up" I told her, still rubbing my eyes.

"Ok, thought if we could go and have dinner at a restaurant?" She asked.

"Yeah, beside I'm fermished" I told her smiling.

"Ok we will meet outside" she said.

"Yeah" I replied.

I quickly went to my closet and brought out a crop jean jacket with a ripped black jean. I wore a white crop top, before I went out of my apartment with my phone and purse. I waited outside for sometime, before I saw Cynthia from a distance. She wore a brown joggers and black top. We smiled at each other before we left for the restaurant. I really admire her great taste of outfits.

We both went to a Chinese restaurant and our orders came immediately. As we were both eating and laughing, a young handsome man came to our table. "Can I join you guys?" He asked us.

"Y-yes you can" Cynthia swiftly answered. I glared at her with a 'he's a stranger ' look. She only waved her hand, telling me to calm down.

He sat with us and I noticed Cynthia's cheeks were flushed crimson red. "My name is Elvis, what about you two?" He asked us grinning.

"My name is Cynthia and she's Olivia, my best friend" Cynthia quickly spoke. They talked for sometime and I noticed Cynthia was falling for him. He too also liked her.

As I was still thinking, it dawned on me that I have to prepare something for Charles, so I can take it to him tomorrow. "Excuse me guys but I need to go home, I need to do some preparations" I informed them.

"Ok see you later" Elvis said.

"We will see tomorrow, okay?" Cynthia said. I nodded at her before I ran out of the restaurant. I quickly ran through the streets, till I reached my apartment.

I quickly opened the door and went to the kitchen. I made a chocolate ice cream, sausage rolls and bought some candies for him. I don't know why but, Charles seems special to me.

His authenticity is pretty cool. Tomorrow is Friday and I also have to take care of him on Saturday, when his family is present. After all the preparations I went to bed.

_

My alarm rang loudly the next morning that I had to push it to the floor. I got off the bed and I went to freshen up after brushing my my teeth. I wore a black jump suit that had big legs(Palazzo). I packaged all I prepared for Charles in a lunch box, before moving outside.

The sun was very bright by this time and the breeze frequently blew my silky hair across my face. I stood outside for sometime, before Cynthia showed up. "Am so sorry for keeping you waiting" she apologized as we hastily went to work.

As we reached the security post, we showed our IDs and they searched us with the Garret, before entering. "Ok go play with your boyfriend girlie" Cynthia teased as we were about to go to our different compartment. I showed her my middle finger and she tried pursuing me.

I fastly walked to Charles room till I reached his door. I gently opened it and everywhere was quite and dark. I saw Charles standing near the window. "Good morning Charles, I brought something for you" I told him.

But he didn't turn, he kept on looking out of the window. I went to him and placed my hand on his shoulder. His eyes were full of tears and he was biting his pink lips. "Charles, what's it?" I asked him.

He kept mute, still sobbing quietly. "Ok I brought some things for you" I told him, bringing the lunch bag in which I packaged the food. He finally turned and looked at me with tears eyes. "I was alone" he complained.

I smiled at him. "Don't worry, am here now, so we can play, okay?" He nodded as he brightened up.

"Ok, come and have what I brought for you" I told him. I gave him all I brought for him and he finished it within 5 minutes. "It tastes so good" he complimented.

"Thank you Charles" I said grinning. After eating, he felt sleepy, so I told him to place his head on my laps while he slept. I brushed his blonde hair with my hands as he slept.

After a while, I also slept, resting my head on the wall. I slept for a while before I woke up. I turned and saw Charles sketching something, on a drawing paper and also designing it with colours. "What are you doing?" I asked him. He still kept on drawing, till I went and saw what he was drawing.

I was agape at what he drew. Charles drew a picture of me. He sketched it perfectly well and I was amazed. "Wow, you are good" I said covering my mouth with my hands in awe.

"I sketched it for you. It's a gift" he told me.

"Thank you Charles, I really appreciate" I told him as I gave him a warm hug.

"Come on, you can take it" he said giving the sketch to me.

"Thank you" I told him. I looked at my watch and saw it was lunch hour already. "I will be right back Charles, I need to go and have lunch, okay?" He nodded and I left the room.

I walked through the long, large corridors, looking for the canteen. "Olivia!!!" I heard my name and I turned back to see Cynthia. I walked to where she was.

"I was looking for the canteen, but I didn't see anyone" I complained.

"Ok just follow me, I will show you" she said, as she led the way. We went to a corner close to the hospital and bought our lunch. We went to an empty bench and sat. "I will be having a party tonight, will you like to come over?" Cynthia asked me as we ate.

"Yes, but what's the celebration about?" I asked her as I took a gulp of my lemonade.

"Well...I and Elvis relationship...." She said blushing.

"Oh!!! Wow, that's nice" I said smiling at her. We ate for sometime before we went back to our work. I walked back into Charles room and I saw him sitting quietly.

I was surprised that he was quiet. I walked to where he sat and sat beside him. "How are you feeling now?" I asked him.

"I'm fine" he said still staring into space.

"Ok" I mumbled. "So what do we do now?" I added. He looked at me and smiled, revealing those his white teeth. He brought his ball and we started playing with it. We played with the ball for sometime before it was time for me to go home.

"Charles, I need to be going home now" I told him as I carried my bag to leave.

"I will miss you" he pouted. He looked so cute.

"Just hold on to my necklace, okay?" He smiled at me before we bid each other good bye. After I met with Cynthia, we quickly went home so we could prepare for the party.

As soon as I entered my apartment, I removed my heels and went into the bathroom to freshen up. I wore a brown flare gown after freshening up. I started feeling hungry, so I went into the kitchen and prepared a little lunch or should I say, dinner.

After eating, i went to my closet and searched through it for a nice outfit for the party tonight. I like dressing spectacular for events. I finally wore a black sequenced short gown, that had a long sleeve and an 'o' shaped opening at the back.

It looked so fitted on my body, bringing out my curves. I quickly wore my strap heels that was silver in colour. I packed my hair in ponytail and rubbed a nude lipstick. Soon after, I fixed an artificial eye lash on my eyelids. I applied foundation later on.

When I was done, I looked at myself through the mirror and I almost squealed out of joy. I looked so beautiful, just like an angel. My attention was soon drawn to my phone that was ringing on my table.

"Hello" I said to the caller.

"Hello, it's me Cynthia" she said.

"Oh!! Has the party began?" I asked her.

"Yes, I just called to tell you"

"Ok" I said before I hung up. I quickly carried my purse before going out of my door. I locked the door before walking to Cynthia's apartment. I arranged my clothes one last time before entering inside.

The apartment had a disco light and was filled with young ladies and men. As I walked in, everyone's gaze was on me. I felt their eyes roaming all over my body.

"Hey dear" I turned and saw Cynthia. She was dressed in a blue flare short gown that was handless.

"Hi" I said.

"Come on, let's party" she said as she pulled me to her sitting room, where I saw Elvis and some other guys on her couch. I waved at him and he smiled at me. I needed some drink, so I went to her bar and took a bottle of wine.

As I drank, I felt a hand curl on my waist. I turned and saw a handsome guy. He smiled at me but I didn't smile back. "How are you, damsel?" He asked, as he sat opposite me in the kitchen island.

I didn't reply back. He sat there and blabbed till he saw I wasn't ready to answer him, he left.
