Chapter HundredI Love YouSebastian“Because? Why do you think I should forgive you?” She asked.“Because..because.” I stopped and sighed, it was finally the time to tell her how I felt, I wouldn’t be able to cope with losing her, I wouldn’t be able to beat the guilt. “Because I love you.” I finally said and pulled her closer to myself. “I love you so much Olivia that it has become very hard for me to get the thoughts of you off my mind.”“Then why did you treat me that way,” she continued to cry, and it broke my heart so much to see her in that condition. “Why did you make me go through so much pain and torture? You didn’t care about me or how I feel, you clearly told me that I had no place in your life or home, and now you claim to love me? How do I believe you?”“I would say I do not need you to believe me, but what I want you to know is that I am telling the truth, and I really do love you.” I murmured and pulled her closer.If I was in her shoes, I wouldn’t believe it too, I wou
Chapter Hundred-and-oneA New WaveOliviaThe crooking of the morning birds and the morning sun shining on my face woke me up.My whole body felt warm from the aftermath of our lovemaking, I moved my hands around the bed, hoping to come in contact with Sebastian’s body, but he wasn’t there. I opened my eyes widely and sat up from the bed, covering my naked body with the duvet. I felt so light and excited, unlike other days.All that happened the night before raced through my mind, his words echoed in my ears, that he loved me and he wanted to be with me.I screamed silently and covered my face with my palm, my cheeks burned from blushing, I really didn’t imagine that a day like this would come. I didn’t know that I would ever be loved by him, that he would ever give me a space in his life.I stood up from the bed, still covering myself with the duvet and dragging it with me. I walked to the small corridor and looked out into the heavens, everything felt so different, every singe thin
Chapter Hundred-and-twoAlive Olivia(A Month Later)I rolled to one side of the bed, hoping to stopped my his body after an emotion filled night, but he wasn’t there. I rolled to the other side, still with my eyes closed and I almost fell off the bed.I was quick to open my eyes and gazed around, he wasn’t anywhere around, he has probably gone down to cook just as he had been doing for over a month now. It has really been a new wave for the two of us, I experienced the love I had been hoping for, the love and I had been looking forward to.Since mom’s death and my friends going away from me, all I experienced was pain after the other, I was unable to feel loved like I wanted, all I got was torture and maltreatment from everyone I was with.I sat up on the bed, Sebastian had made sure that we follow every of the doctors rules, we never missed the twice to thrice in a week instruction the doctor gave me us, and even with my now big baby bump, he still rocked every part of my body.I f
Chapter One Hundred and ThreeKarmaSebastianMy heart was filled with so much excitement. It had been over a month since I confessed my love to Olivia, and it really felt like the heavy burden and weight that were on my mind before had been replaced with joy and continuous excitement.Every single day was always filled with excitement. Seeing her and having her by my side filled my heart with happiness. Sometimes I wondered what took me so much time before getting to know how I felt and telling her because I have deprived myself of this happiness.It was her birthday, and I wanted to make it a very special one for her. I had asked her friend, Edie, and he was the one who told me about Olivia’s birthday and things she loved to do on that day. I promised him that I would make the day one of the best for her.“I got a really beautiful dress for you. I’ll go get it now, and you’ll go change into it and join us for the party later.”I smiled and kissed her softly on her forehead, my hand
Chapter One Hundred And FourGiving UpOlivia"Bert? I wasn’t sure if I was seeing right, if it was because of what was happening to me or something else, because it’s been long years since I saw Bert last.I was still wondering until I heard him call me by the pet name he gave me. “Vivi?” He moved closer to me. “Is that you? Is this really you?” He held me by my shoulder.I nodded at him, sure that the one standing in my front was Bert, my stepbrother. Bert had been deployed for years and I have had to deal with Sara and Mitchie all by myself. When he was still here, he would help and support me whenever Sara and Mitchie tried to maltreat him.I had it hard when he was gone, but he was back now and I just couldn’t contain my happiness.“Bert.” I murmured.“I have been looking for you since I got back, Olivia, but mom never told you where you were, I tried to ask dad, but you know.” He held my hands. “Where have you been?”I sighed. “Sara got me married.” I began, “it is really a long
Chapter One Hundred And FiveThe First TrialSebastianStepping out of the van and standing in front of the courtroom made my heart raced, it felt like I had seen this before, like I had seen this scene before, just like I saw it all coming but didn’t act well enough to avoid it.I knew there was no other way out now, I would have to face the truth and accept whatever punishment they give to me, because I deserve it all. I stared at my handcuffed hands, this was what I was scared of, this was the reason I tried to stay away from any other woman and even Olivia for those months after our marriage.Now, I was face to face with my fear, I was facing my reality and there was no escape for me. If only I had told everyone the truth about what happened then, if I had told them what happened that night, maybe it would have been easier to get away from this, but now, there was no way out.“Come on.” The cop said and grabbed my hand, dragging me into the courtroom.At the door, we met with Sop
Chapter One Hundred And SixThe Truth Behind The Night 1Olivia“Sebastian!” I stood up and rushed to him as soon as he was brought into the waiting room.I didn’t know he kept avoiding eyes contact with me throughout the trial, he didn’t even look at me once and that kept tearing my heart apart.“Why did you do that, Olivia?” He asked and I could see the pain and hopelessness in his eyes. “Why did you have them adjourn the case?” He asked.“We did it because of you, we know there is something suspicious about this case and we need to find that.” Attorney Fred said.“He is right, Sebastian, we need to bring you out of here.” I added.“You shouldn’t have done that, Olivia.” He shook his head and took his seat. “It wouldn’t change anything, I will still get the same judgment and sentence.” He shook his head again. “Doing this won’t change my fate, Olivia.”“But we still have to try, you can’t just let you get punished for what you didn’t do.”“I did it.” He said briskly. “I did it all,
Chapter One Hundred And SevenThe Truth Behind The Night 2OliviaGetting back to the quiet and empty home, I left Edie and Bert standing in the main room and rushed up, not considering my condition.There was no importance of my condition and life is Sebastian wasn’t there, I had grown too fond of him that living without him seemed so impossible, I couldn’t imagine that. After we made up and began to live a happy and fulfilling life, I never imagined staying without him, it never came to me that there might be a time I wouldn’t be able to be with him, I would have planned and thought about how to deal with it.But who would wish bad on themselves? I got to the room and stopped for some minutes, resting on the door as I tried to catch my breath. Even though my life or my baby would be of no importance if Sebastian wasn’t there because he was the one made me, I still had to look after myself and the baby.I knew I would get something that would help him out from there, I knew I would
