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 mean to hurt your mother; you have got to believe that. we spent weeks scouting and learning that man’s routine. Your mother was never with him, he was always alone. We thought he was alone that day as well, but your mother was with him.” he tried to explain but my head was buzzing and the pain I felt in my heart was unimaginable.He claimed to love her and yet, he killed her. “Why did you want to kill the poor man in the first place? He did nothing to you!” I yelled in anger. “He was not as innocent as you think, he did nothing to me, but he was abusing your mother. The bastard hit her, and I was not going to sit back and let it happen. The plan was to get rid of him and take you both into hiding so the Don won’t find you.”I chuckled. “How did that work out for you, huh?” he averted his gaze from me and looked back out the window. “It didn’t work out as you know, the love of my life died because of me.” that was all he could think about. What about me? I suffered af
MARCUSAs soon as I was told about what Jones was doing. I asked my people to make sure my money was safe, I didn’t care about the businesses he was targeting, they only represented a fraction of what I owned. The man didn’t know who I was, he thought he was dealing with an ordinary man, but I was far from it.I was raised by my mother until I was sixteen when big men in luxurious cars showed up one day. I didn’t know who they were or why they were there. Their auras scared me, I was after all just a poor boy living with his mother, such cars I only saw on tv at a friend’s house as we didn’t have any at home.There was just something about them I couldn’t put my finger on. Something familiar especially about the one who seemed like he was the boss and yet, I had never met the man. My mother called me that day and told me that the man who came was my uncle.I thought mom didn’t have family, but she told me he was not from her side but my father’s side, my blood boiled when I heard tha
OLIVIAAfter staying in my room for hours with Lupita comforting me. I ended up falling asleep. I don’t know when Lupita left my room but when I woke up this morning. She was nowhere to be found but Samuel was next to me watching me. A smile formed on my lips. “Morning baby how are you?” he giggled burying his face on my chest.My heart warmed, in whatever happens in my life, I would never be alone, and I have unconditional love from this little boy. I am blessed. “Food mama.” I smiled getting up then picking him up going to the front. Breakfast was already there; grandma was already eating. “You are here, good. I thought I will have to come and get you two.”I placed Samuel on his seat and took mine. “Mmm, everything looks so good.” As if on que my stomach rumbled. Samuel laughed. “Mama is hungry boy.” I was since yesterday but when I got back, I was too sad to eat or even think about food.“Turn on the tv Lupita, I want to watch the news or at least listen to them.” grandma said, he
