OLIVIAI sat by Nick’s side until he was knocked out by the sedative the doctor gave him. I waited until he was taken back to the room he was in before he apparently discharged himself then left the hospital like I planned to. By then it was already eleven in the morning, and I had a lot to get done.I did my shopping, getting new phones for all of us, clothes, a laptop then went to meet with a real estate agent about a house. She showed me pictures of a few but there was one that caught my eye. The others were not what I was looking for. They were condos and I didn’t want that, I wanted a house.I even looked for a school for Samuel and made appointments to go and check them out. I then rushed to back to the hospital after calling Lupita to meet me there. I wanted to take them to the airport after picking up Grandma Susan. Alas, they didn’t want to go, and this is what I got.“Are you crazy, when have you ever heard family abandoning each other when times are tough? If you want to go
OLIVIAI didn’t know how he expected me to be quiet when he was doing such things to me. But I tried and then I ended up sounding like a wounded animal. I didn’t know why I couldn’t say no when he asked me to strip and get on the bed. If I had will power, I wouldn’t have been in such a predicament.“Do you now understand when I say I don’t want you to let another man kiss you?” I moaned, unable to speak. The pleasure was too much, and I wanted to cum. But Marcus knew just how to send me over the edge but stop just in time before I could cum. It drove me crazy.“I see you still have not found your voice or learned the lesson I am trying to teach you.” bloody hell! I shouldn’t have let him kiss me again, I shouldn’t have locked that door. Damn it! I shouldn’t have done a lot of things. Marcus and I were not in a relationship or at least I thought we were not but what was happening said that we were.He was acting like a jealous boyfriend trying to prove a point and unfortunately for me.
SANDRA“You useless pieces of shit! That witch is still alive, the one you shot was that Marcus guy. I don’t want him dead, if I can’t kill that witch then I want Marcus alive to keep her busy, take her away or marry her for all I care. I just want her out of mine and Nick’s lives.” I hired morons! I wanted them to kill Olivia.Or better yet, kill that brat of hers to make her feel the same pain I was feeling. My sister disappeared but I know she is dead wherever she was. The last time I spoke to her was when she got me out of that mental institution, and I never heard from her again. I went looking for her at the club, but no one seemed to know where she was.I knew Olivia had something to do with her disappearance or her father did. Either way, I was not about to let her get away with it. “Mam, we did what you asked, and we want to get paid for that job.” I glared at him, the audacity of the man. They didn’t even get the job done!“You are crazy if you think I am going to pay you fo
NICKSandra was crazy, out of her mind. The way she just spoke as if we were together. Like nothing happened. Was just… I don’t know, crazy. But her crazy got me a second chance and I used it. Sending her back to the psych ward and leaving her screaming my name as I left. But with her, I was not going to make the same mistake I did with Olivia.I was going to check on her every chance I got to make sure she was getting what she deserved. She played with the wrong person. She thought she was smart when she played me like that, making me send my wife to jail for nothing and getting me to abandon her in there. Whispering in my ear and like a fool I listened.Not again, I learned my lesson and Sandra was going to pay. Luke was going to get out of my life and I could work on getting my wife back. We had lost a lot of time because of everything Sandra did, and I didn’t want to lose a minute more. I hurried to the third floor hoping to see her so I could explain everything to her.My plans f
OLIVIAWhen I walked out of Marcus’s ward, Nick was standing there. I greeted him then left. My man told me to have nothing to do with him and that was what I was doing. I was giving myself a chance to be happy and I was not going to get that if I kept Nick Jones around. Our chapter together has ended, and I was opening a new chapter with Marcus.What did he and Sandra say again the day they locked me up? Oh, I got it. They said, I was busy cheating with my high school sweetheart. Yet, Marcus was not even back at the time. Now I was doing exactly what they said I was doing back then. Except, I was not cheating like they said. Nick and I were divorced, and I was free to do whatever I wanted.With a smile on my face, I took the elevator downstairs. I couldn’t stop thinking about what Marcus did to me. damn! That man had skilled hands. I could still feel the sensation down there and it was… I couldn’t describe it. Whe
NICKAfter watching Olivia leave, I turned my head to the room and Marcus was already looking at me with a smirk on his face. I wanted to wipe it off with a punch. The bastard, he thought he had won. But he has not. Olivia was still mine in every way that counted. He was just a distraction I was going to get rid of.I walked into his ward. “Good to see you are feeling better Marcus, though I would be careful if I were you. somethings might just get you sleeping forever. But not on that comfortable bed but on the slab in the mortuary downstairs.” He laughed.“Nick, you are funny, how come I didn’t know you were such a funny guy?” he was pissing me off, he thought he could mess with what was mine and I would let it go. “I am only going to warn you once, leave my wife alone.” He turned serious in seconds. Good, now we were getting somewhere.“Or what? And she is not your wife, stop calling her
OLIVIAMinutes turned to hours with those two unable to get hold of their boss. They were getting impatient and frustrated, and it scared me. I did not want them to take out their frustrations on me and I didn’t want my son to grow up without me. I had already lost so much time with him I didn’t want to lose more.“What the fuck are we going to do now? We have been here for hours and still can’t get hold of her.” The driver said to his partner, I sat there calmly watching them. there was no need to agitate them, they were already going crazy because their boss was not picking up. “I don’t know man; we can lock her in here and come back tomorrow.”Oh no! that was not good. I couldn’t be there for that long, I had already been gone for the whole day, Samuel and Lupita were going to expect me to come home soon. They had not heard from me since morning. It would worry them if I don’t show, and they can’t get through to my phone.“I don’t get it; she was so desperate to have her and now she
OLIVIAShock covered his face, eyes wide and his men took steps closer to their boss pointing their guns at me. what the hell did they think I was going to do? I couldn’t even fight and yet they pulled their guns on me. He turned to them and glared. They lowered their guns putting them away before stepping back.He looked back at me then suddenly burst out laughing. I was confused as to what he was laughing at. He was crazy. “That, I can work with. But you still have more to learn, slaps don’t usually work when you are dealing with bad guys. You need to learn how to shoot and how to fight properly.” I looked at him.I know I said I wanted to learn but I never said I wanted to learn how to shoot or to learn from him. what the hell gave him the idea that I would ask him for anything. I just walked past him and got into the car he came out from. I was tired and hungry. I just wanted to go back to the hotel, see my son, have a shower and a goodnight sleep.Few minutes later he can into th
OLIVIA I didn't stay after asking that question to Marcus, I know that he doesn't know the answer to that question as well. I might be hurt by everything that is happening but I know he is hurting as well. He doesn't show it but he is a shadow of the man I married. I have my doubts some days, especially when he is enjoying himself too much with that woman. I pour myself a glass of warm milk trying to get myself to sleep. Just when i lift the glass to take a sip, a knock comes on the door. I glance at the wall clock and it's after ten. Who could it be at this time? The person knocked again. "Who is it?" I asked moving away from the door. If it was Ethan, he would have called first and he has a key.I moved back some more worried to death. "Olivia, open the door." I stop moving and frown. That sounded like my father, what could he be doing here at this time of the night? "Olivia! Open the door." I rush to the door and open. Indeed, it is him with Nick by his side. "What are you two d
MARCUSI should have never suggested we have a baby, it is all my fault that this is happening now. If I didn't suggested it, my wife wouldn't be suffering, she, Samuel and I would be happy now. Going to the park together, trips, movies, dinners. Doing everything a happy couple should be doing. But I got greedy, I wasn't conted with what I had and I wanted more. Why, why did i want more, why couldn't I be content with things the way they were? Was it because Samuel is not my biological son? No that's not it. It was because I was afraid I would lose him to his real father when the truth came out.I wanted to have a child of my own so that it wouldn't hurt much when he left. Basically, I wanted a consolation prize which I was not meant to have. Now I am stuck with that disgusting woman and hurting my wife. As if she has not been hurt enough, as if the pain Nick caused her wasn't enough. Why the fuck aren't humans ever content? Men to be specific. We always want more.More money, more s
NICKI sat on that jet with the image of Olivia's sunken face engraved in my mind. I wanted to talk to her, find out if she was alright but as soon as the pitch was over, she disappeared. I thought of going over to her house to find out what was going on. Use the excuse that she invited me over not so long ago. But I held back, if she still wanted to talk to me, then she would have done so at the hotel after the pitch. But instead she left, that meant she was not ready to talk yet. But the image of her walking around looking like the dead hurt me. What could have happened to her? It's only been two months since I last saw her and she was happy. "Sir, we are here." I looked out and saw that we were outside Luke's office. Did he know what was happening with his daughter? I doubt it, he would have been there for her if he knew. A sigh left me. Owen opened the door for me and I got out. When I got to his office, i knocked once and let myself in. "I knew it could only be you who would h
OLIVIAI have tried, the Lord knows, I have tried. I have tried to keep the promise i made to my husband for the sake of our child. I have tried to be brave, to endure but it's too difficult. Each day I see less and less of my husband. Each day i lose a part of me, a part of my marriage, my happiness. I feel like I was never meant to be happy in this world. At least not with someone by myside, maybe my destiny is to remain alone, rasing my kids and working to make a life for them. One that will be way better than the one I had. Maybe I should just give up on love and focus on those who need me the most. My kids.I have desperately tried to love, first it was Nick, I gave him my all and he betrayed me. Now Marcus, the man is doing the most for the woman who came into my home as a nobody, just carrier for my child but now seems to own my home. My house no longer feels like home and I find myself not wanting to go back at the end of the day.I used to look forward to going home but now
OLIVIAMy blood boiled, “Excuse me, what did you just say?” Lupita was right, the woman did think she was the madame of the house. Where the hell did, she get the audacity to say something like that to me and in my own house. Treating my son like that in his home, she was the guest, and she seemed to forget that.“I asked what are you going to do if I call him a brat?” she repeated herself and I closed the distance between us. Marcus was quick to pull me aside. “Let us all calm down here,” he turned to Jennifer. “I know you are emotional, and little thing might upset you, but Samuel is a child. You don’t treat him like that.”She laughed as if she was a crazy woman. “Then what am I carrying Marcus? Is it not your child that I am carrying and trying to protect? Why would you even reprimand me and not this boy for being so careless? I could have been holding hot tea and it would have spil
OLIVIAI trusted my husband, besides our recent disagreements about Jennifer. I felt like there was something else going on. I didn’t want to think he was cheating on me with her, he was not that kind of man. Well, I also thought Nick was not that kind of man.He said he never cheated as well, that nothing ever happened between him and Sandra. But in my opinion, what he did with her was far worse than cheating. He neglected me, trusted her over me and even sent me to jail. I had a criminal record under my name because of him.Then there was my current husband, he looked hurt when he said he would do better, when he said he thought he was better than only to find out that they were the same. Then he told me to always remember that I was his, that he loved me.That alone told me that something was going on with him, something that might make me doubt his love for me. I wished I knew what it was, I wished he would talk to me and tell m
MARCUSI was going crazy; it was like Jennifer was possessed. The way she was threatening me, it made me wonder what happened to her, the woman we met and interviewed. Or was the person she was showing me now the real her and the woman we interviewed was fake.Was it all a lie? I did say there was something with her that I couldn’t put my finger on. I guess this was it, she was a psychopath and a pathological liar. There was no way a normal person could act the way she did. I feared for my wife as she didn’t seem to like her much.I feared for my baby even though she seemed to think that it was hers and mine. Just what kind of psychological test did the do with these women in the clinic and how did they miss that Jennifer was fucking crazy!When I was done with her feet she was yawning. I left when she was about to get out of the bath. I didn’t know what to do. All I knew was that I needed to tell someone. My wife? No, i
JENNIFERI clenched my hands into fists. Olivia, what the fuck have you done now? Marcus was warming up to me and doing everything I wanted. Then you went and ruined it all. You are starting to piss me off and you don’t want me to be pissed off. there is a lot I can do to make your life a living hell.“Of course, I can run myself a bath.”“Do that then.” He was so cold to me, colder than I have ever seen him and it was all Olivia’s fault. That woman doesn’t like seeing other people happy, she thinks she is the only one who deserves happiness. He turned and started walking away.“She might be working all day, but I am the one growing a human inside me, your baby. I would think my job is more important than hers, not unless you don’t really want this baby then I will understand.” He stopped in his tracks and slowly turned to look at me.His face void of emotions and if looks
MARCUSI couldn’t believe what I was hearing, so, she decided to tell Nick about Samuel. She even called him her son’s real father, like I was nothing but a replacement. I saw how tired she was, and I went to call the masseuse, I had booked for her, Lupita, grandma and Jennifer.I wanted them to relax and be pampered. She and I had a long way to go when the baby arrived. I wanted to spoil her now before all our time was taken by the baby. I guess, she was eager for her and Nick to get back together. Maybe I was just wasting my time trying to show her that I only wanted to be with her.I turned back without saying a word going straight to our room. I laid down staring at the ceiling as if it was going to provide me with answers or great wisdom on how to deal with what was happening. I didn’t know how long I laid there for when the door opened.My beautiful wife walked in, and I could not help but take in the sight of her. she looks radiant but the look in her eyes was distant and sad.
