"I will," Camila acknowledged "If we feed her with more of the pill her body will naturally prevent her from getting pregnant," she thought remembering something she learnt in a science class. In the dining area, while they were all sitting around the table having dinner. Mrs Garcia decided to break the long silence."Camila would be going to leave with Olivia for a while. The poor girl is feeling lonely living in that big house," she said looking at her husband and he knew better not to question why the decision. He made a mistake and it has become a price to pay forever. He has lost his authority as a man in the house as his wife constantly reminds him of his mistake the least chance she gets and how it almost cost her her life, and that she could no longer work. He remained silent as he ate his food filled with sadness. "I thought she was at the hospital caring for her husband?" Jonathan raised"Well, her mother-in-law informed me Olivia left for home and is now complaining of
He didn't want to disturb his sleeping mother so he remained on his bed. He stared at the roof of the room thinking about Olivia. He was wondering why she left and didn't stay like he had asked her to. He felt empty woking up and not seeing Olivia by his side. It was 6 am when his mother woke up from her sleep by the entering of the medical doctor. "Good morning," he greeted holding a file in his hand Ethan lay on his right side, his back facing the doctor who was standing in the middle of the room. "Good morning," responded Mrs Carter "Mr Carter, are you still sleeping?" he asked and walked towards the feet of the bed to see his face. He realized his eyes were open. He was just staring at the monitoring machine which was off. "Mr Carter, you don't look happy. Anything the matter?" the doctor asked and Ethan's gaze shifted to the doctor who was almost stretching to see his face. He sat on the bed with a cold expression. His mother looked at him knowing very well why he was loo
She momentarily got confused trying to recall the rules and all the advice to present herself in the right way. She didn't have an answer to Ethan's question making him frown. "Olivia, where did you go last night?" he repeated the question being more specific with a terrifying gaze frightening Olivia. She started trembling when he grabbed her arms roughly after repeating his question. There was fear registered in her eyes as she stared at him but this did not move Ethan."I asked you a question and I want an answer. Where did you go last night?" He repeated his question, shaking her violently."I didn't go anywhere. Please you are hurting me," she cried "I don't like being lied to. If I find out, you were lying to me, you will not be happy with me. Do you understand?" he said "Yes, please," she replied with tears in her eyes. Ethan looked at her trembling in his arms and he loosen his grip on her feeling sorry. He hugged her and she broke down soaking his hospital gown with her t
"I just received this from an unknown number". There is trouble in paradise," she said showing Ethan her phone screen and he frowned He stared at the image on the screen for a while and turned his gaze away from the phone. Mrs Carter put the phone down by lowering her hand which she had raised to show Ethan the image. "This is why I was against the marriage. Such girls have more up their sleeves than a refuse dump site. They act coy just to look innocent in your eyes. Did you bother to ask about her or you allowed her beauty to deceive you?" Mrs Carter said looking disappointed "Mum, that doesn't mean anything," he defended confused about what to believe.If anything, Olivia was just standing in front of the hotel. It didn't mean she slept there but what he was trying to understand is why she will go there when their home is forty-five minutes drive away. "Of course, seeing your wife, standing in front of a hotel waiting for only God knows who doesn't mean anything," she replied
"My son is not stupid. He defended her in my presence but he will try to find out. I hope your daughter was smart not to leave loose ends," she replied "Camila is smart. Let's drop the final after this," Mrs Garcia suggested "The earlier the better," replied Mrs Carter with a laughInside the estates, Ethan's apartment, Ethan after dismissing Derby stayed in the study for a while before exiting. He headed for the bedroom. A part of him wants to believe there is an honest explanation for what happened and it is a situation of clear misunderstanding but it looks like the only alibi Olivia has is his thought. He pushed the bedroom door open and found Olivia sleeping. He closed the door gently behind him and walked closer to the bed to get a clear view of her as the bed curtain was blocking his view. He stared at the beauty sleeping peacefully on the bed. She was lying down facing up. The sheet covered up to her chest and her head was tilted to the side. Even in her sleep, she is unde
"Olivia, no need, drink the milk and go," Camila suggested pouring her a glass of milk from a separate jug.Ethan saw it but didn't think about it much as his mind was focused on his father. Olivia drank the glass of milk Camila poured for her and got up from behind the dining table following Ethan out. Camila had a smile on her face as she watched Olivia but as soon as she exited the dining room with Ethan she frowned"Derby, come clear the table," she ordered. "Throw this away. Something fell into it," she said to Derby pointing to the small jar she had poured the milk from for Olivia. After a few minutes drive, Ethan arrived at Carter's residence. He stepped out of the car after the guard opened the door for him and he held out his hand to Olivia. She placed her hand in his and also stepped out of the car. Hand in hand, they walked towards the mansion. One of the servants saw them and opened the front door for them. "Welcome Sir Ethan," she greeted and Ethan responded with a '
"Your father will be better off at home," she added and they both exited the ward allowing the medical practitioners to do their work. All this while, Olivia was sitting inside the car parked at the hospital's parking lot. The guard stood outside giving her some privacy. Ethan did the paperwork and Mrs Carter packed Mr Carter's stuff from the ward. The ambulance was ready and Mr Carter was moved into it. Ethan wanted to be with his father so he joined the ambulance and Mrs Carter went back to use the ride they had come in. The ambulance drove out of the hospital compound while Mrs Carter took her time walking towards their parked ride. "Olivia, get out of the car," she commended as soon as she arrived realizing the guard was nowhere in sight and Olivia obliged. "The ride will be full in a few minutes, you can find your way home or use this coin to call Jeremy to come pick you up," she said with a straight face and Olivia just nodded and took the coin from her. All her life,
"Perfect. I have 100% control over my husband and now with your husband's authority taken away from him we have the power in our hands to decide the future of that stupid marriage," Mrs Garcia said "Yes, I have a plan, you can come over tomorrow so we discuss it. Ethan will be resuming work tomorrow. He will return to his apartment. We will have the house to ourselves," she suggested and Mrs Garcia agreed. At the hospital, Ethan annoyed with Olivia's sneaky behaviour dragged her by her hand into the car. He had one hand in a sling but he was still vital to pull her with the only free hand. Again, Olivia didn't put up a fight as she allowed herself to be dragged by Ethan, in a public place like that. "Drive," he growled at the guard and he quickly put the car into motion. "Sir, please destination," he asked looking at him through the rear-view mirror "To my apartment, I will go see my father later in the day," he said and the car went back to silent with Olivia sitting in the b
