CHAPTER 10
NICK
I didn’t go home after seeing her, I went straight to the bar and started drinking. I couldn’t get her image out of my head. She looked so…so frail. Why did she look like that, was prison that bad for her? “Give me another.” I ordered to the lady that was serving me.
She walked away but instead of coming back with my drink, she came back with the bar tender. “Mr Jones, I think you have had enough. Do you want me to call a taxi for you?” he must think I am child and that I can’t think for myself.
I am not a child, and I can drink as much as I want. “James, give me my drink.” I said with a threatening voice, well, I wanted it to be threatening but I am not sure how threatening I am in my current state. “Mr Jones, you have been drinking since you got here, three hours ago. I don’t think you can handle more.”
I glared at him, I am still the heir of the Jones f

ETHANOliver and I shared a look after Nick passed out. We both knew who he was talking about, we knew who he called his heart. Olivia. But why would he be so affected by her? he was fine when she was in jail the past two years. He didn’t care whether she lived or died. He was busy parading that woman around.Now that she is out, he has a problem. No! Nick should give others a chance too. “Help me with him and don’t ever let him drink this much again. Call me in early the next time he does something like this.”“Yes, Mr Lewis.” We placed him on the backseat of the car and Oliver stayed with him. My phone wrang just as I was about to start the car. I took it out of the pocket and a number I didn’t know flashed on the screen. I frowned answering it. “Ethan Lewis.”“Hi, it’s me.” My heart skipped a beat when I heard her voice. I looked at the backseat and Nick was out co

NICKSandra must have been worried sick when I didn’t come home yesterday. I left going to the police station to sign the release documents since I was forced to drop the charges by my parents. She must have thought that I saw Olivia and wanted her back. Which I did, but it was the way she looked that got me distraught.She was not the Olivia I knew, and I wanted to know what happened in there. I thought going out drinking was going to make me forget the way she was, but it made it worse. The first day I drank and slept in my car then went back at it again until Ethan was called to come pick me up.I was angry with him too, he was my best friend, we grew up together. How can he not know that he got drunk and got Sandra pregnant? Now since the baby was no longer there because of my wife, Sandra didn’t want Ethan to know about that night.Olivia should have been there for her, supported her but instead she got jealous of the time Sandra, and I spent together working and instead of suppor

NICKI woke up feeling like I was hit by a truck. I laid there with my eyes closed just listening to my aching body and regretting drinking so much. But then something moved by my side, and I opened my eyes then turned. Only to find Sandra sleeping next to me.I forgot about my aching body as I jumped out of bed. “What the hell Sandra!” she jumped up and sat on the bed disoriented and looking around. “What, what is the matter?” bloody hell! “What do you mean? You are in my bed!” she rubbed her eyes getting out of bed as if she did nothing wrong.“Oh, that. Sorry, I had a nightmare, and I couldn’t sleep. So, I came here, and I asked if I could sleep with you, and you said yes.” What! How drunk was I last night? Because I didn’t remember any of that. “Sandra, I was drunk last night, you shouldn’t have taken anything I said seriously and besides. I am a married man, and this bed belongs to my wife and I.”She didn’t look at me, she lowered her head then picked up her slippers and wore th

ETHANI was about to drive out to pick up Olivia, so I can take her to her grandmother’s grave. I just sat in the car when James, my driver and bodyguard spoke. “Sir, I just got an alert, someone just accessed Mrs Jones’s prison record.” Nick! What the hell are you looking for?“We knew this might happen one day James, that is why we took so many precautions. I assume they didn’t find anything, yes?” He nodded. I could not afford to let Nick find out about Samuel. He didn’t deserve to know anything about that boy.“Keep it that way. And James, if Nick ever found out about Samuel and everything that happened to Olivia in there. I will forget everything we have been through and all the years you have worked for me. That means, I would put you down like I dog, if that ever happened.”He swallowed hard and started the car. Nick thinks he is the only one who is connected enough to make things happen. I was connected too, and I didn’t become a tech billionaire by chance, I was and so were m

OLIVIAThe anger I felt when I saw my grandmother’s grave was indescribable. The pain though, was more than the anger I felt. The woman did everything for me and made sure I studied and became the woman I am today. Yet, I was not there when she needed me the most, I was not there to give her a proper burial.She was buried like a dog with no headstone or photo. It broke my heart that things got so bad that she became collateral damage. But I was going to make things right, those who wronged me, those caused me this pain, are going to feel the same pain ten folds.“Take me back Ethan, I am just going to tell Nick’s parents that I am going back home.” He nodded and we left the graveyard. Leaving my grandmother with a promise that I was going to do right by her. The drive back was silent, with me thinking of ways to make money. I had no job, and no one was going to hire me with a criminal record.That was what Nick wanted when he got me arrested and he did swear to make me pay, to make m

OLIVIABeing back home felt strange and familiar at the same time. Every room I entered filled me with nostalgia and vivid memories of my grandmother and I. The house was dirty and full of dust. Walls needed paint and floors needed to be scrubbed.I roughly wiped my tears away as I cleaned. I have cried enough at the graveyard; it was time for me to act now not to cry. a knock came through the door, and I went to open. May was standing on the other side of the door with a pretentious smile on her face.The woman must think I was still the same naïve Olivia from before. “Yes?” I said with a raised eyebrow. “Olivia, it’s me, May.” Did she really think I didn’t know who she was? But I went along with her. “Oh, I couldn’t recognise you, it’s been so long.” She pushed me aside and went inside.It annoyed me but I kept my mouth shut. “Goodness! This house needs a good scrubbing! I heard about your arrest, and I want you to know that I didn’t believe a word they said. Media can be cruel but d

NICK“What are you standing there for? Go get me my daughter-in-law back, tell her you are sorry and that you will do better. Go, Nick, go now.” Said my mother hitting me over and over while crying. She loved Olivia and I didn’t like seeing her that way. But what else could I do when she didn’t want me? I was not going to force her to want me.I held her hands to stop her from hitting me, “Mom, she doesn’t want me going after her. you heard what she said. She wants a divorce and nothing I say will change her mind. I am sorry.” She cried even more freeing herself from my hold. It hurt, the way she looked at me was like she was looking at someone she despised.“Get out, get the hell out of my house Nick!” she screamed at me, I looked over at dad, but he just sat there as if nothing was happening. I knew then that I had done more than just disappoint my parents, I hurt them. “I am sorry mom.” She only glared at me and pointed at the door.I gave her a sad look before leaving. Ethan and O

NICKEthan said something that got me thinking. Everything else he said made sense and I regretted it. But I didn’t get why he would say I didn’t take care of my wife’s grandmother. I might have refused to see her because of how ashamed I was of facing her after sending Olivia to jail. But I did send money to her card every month.She should have been taken care of even with Olivia in jail, I never sent Olivia to jail so I could punish her grandmother. “Ethan, you know me man, do you think I didn’t take care of her grandmother? I sent her money every month for the past two years. I might not have gone to see her, but I did make sure that she had money to live a comfortable life.”“You sent her money, then why was she buried in an unmarked grave?”“I don’t know Ethan, the person who buried her might not have known that she had money in the bank.” To be fair, she might not have known herself that she had that kind of money in the bank. Olivia’s grandmother was an old person, and she didn
