NICK

Ethan liked exaggerating things, what could a small-time businessman do to me? I am Nick Jones, and I have more wealth than he did. Why would I fear him? Ethan shoved his hands in his pockets and gave me a look like I was the biggest moron who ever lived. “What?” he chuckled dryly. Opened his mouth to say something but closed it again.

I knew what was happening when he was like that. he was trying to tell me whatever it was in the most respectable way possible to avoid swearing the shit out of me. “You know how my company is mostly into information gathering?” I nodded like a five-year-old.

“Do you think I would have let anyone near Olivia without doing a little research on them?” I shook my head again, maybe I was the biggest moron who ever lived. Why didn’t I think of that, why didn’t I ask him to look into Marcus? I think it was because she knew him from back in high school that I never thought he was a threat.

What a moron I was, that was how I lost her in the first place. No

    OLIVIAI looked at the man before me and I couldn’t help but feel lucky and blessed. Not many would want a damage woman like me, but he knew everything, and he still wanted me. “Marcus, this means I can’t carry a child and…”“Does it also mean you don’t have eggs?” I frowned. “Olivia, you have everything we need to have a biological child if that is what we want in the future. We can get a surrogate to carry the baby for us. Also, we can adopt if that is what we want. You have no excuse to refuse to marry me, at least you can’t use that one.”I looked at him, he had everything in the world at his disposal, he had the money, the looks, the charm, everything! He could get any woman he wanted but he was choosing me. I didn’t understand. “Olivia, I love you, scratch that. I am in love with you. I always have been since high school.”He took my hand in his, giving me a tender look. “When I was away, I had people keeping an eye on you. I was still studying myself and had no access to my mon

    NICK“Don’t you even think about it!” Ethan bellowed next to me. he might have seen my fists and thought I would go crazy again and punch the elevator doors this time. But that was not the case, I was angry seeing her wearing his ring, but I decided not to do anything. It hurt so badly that I was numb.I didn’t know what to do, all I wanted was to get home and drink myself to a stupor. “I was not going to do anything.” Ethan gave me a sceptical look, his hands that were in his pockets were now out and hanging on his sides. He was ready for anything, if only he knew that the only stupid thing, I wanted to do was to drink myself to death.Elevator doors opened revealing my mother. She looked shocked to see me but said nothing moving to the side for us to enter. We silently entered and stood there. “What happened to your hand?” I glanced at it. but said nothing, looking forward and waiting for the elevator doors to open so I could get the hell out of there.As if it heard me, it opened,

    ETHANHearing my friend utter words like that stung. Sometimes we take things and people for granted. A few days ago, I was determined to take my friend’s wife, well. Ex wife from him because I felt like he didn’t deserve her. that he didn’t appreciate her enough. All true but, I never stopped to think what he might be feeling.Nick has always been bossy and acting like he had everything under control. Like life for him is not something that just happens, that he makes things happen and controls the variables. Because of all of that, I forgot that my friend was a person too, that he had feelings and got hurt. I knew Nick’s anger very well and most of the time it was just that.Unreasonable anger caused by business and nothing more. But I was starting to see a different side to the man. The human side he has been hiding well from all of us. The side that is vulnerable, the one that showed that the man also needed support, love and care. He fucked up big time and that is something he wa

    OLIVIAI got out of the car and Marcus got out as well. He gave me a passionate kiss before pulling out. “I miss you already.” I blushed. He was dropping me off at the hotel. We needed to pack our stuff and move into the house I bought for us. We went to fetch the key after leaving the hospital and I wanted us out of the hotel the next day.“I miss you too.” He smiled then kissed the tip of my nose then my forehead. “You are loved, Olivia Williams.” He said before getting back into the car. I watched it drive off before getting inside the hotel with a huge smile on my face. I was happy, for the first time in a long time, I was genuinely happy, and it was all thanks to that man.I rode the elevator up to the penthouse and when I got there. Lupita was at the door with her arms folded in her chest. “Spill!” I frowned stopping in front of her, I raised an eyebrow wondering what she was talking about. “Oh, no girl! I saw you down there. I was standing on the balcony when I saw a scene down

    NICK“You jerk assess should stop looking at me like that as if I stole something from you.” I wondered how he wanted us to look at him and he did steal from us. My bottle of scotch in his hand or did he think he brought that with him when he decided to crush our drinking session? Bloody mafia! Thinking everything belonged to them and they could take anything they wanted.I stood up and went to open the cupboard taking out another bottle. “See, you have more alcohol and yet you were giving me the looks for this bottle. Stop being stingy.” Ethan dramatically threw his hands in the air. “Man, are you serious? If you wanted to drink you could have bought your own and drink it wherever you used to drink. Why are you here?”Luke gently placed the bottle on the table then turned to Ethan, giving him an icy looked. Ethan backed up. “Listen man, you don’t get to look at me like that. I am your daughter’s saviour and if anything happens to me. You will never have a relationship with her.” My f

    NICKI tightened the cap on the bottle then gripped it by the neck hard, waiting for Luke to make a move so I could show him not to mess with me. not in my house. He came all the way there and for what? To start shit, not on my watch and certainly not in my house and not with my friend too. “Calm down man, what? It’s okay for you to insult us and we can’t do the same?”Ethan didn’t back down but still I could see the fear in his eyes. One wrong move Luke’s men would storm the castle and there would be no escape for us. But hell, I wasn’t going to sit back and let him start shit in my house.The tension in the house was suffocating to a point that I felt myself getting sober. Damn him! I wanted to get drunk so much that I forget my name. then suddenly, Luke burst out laughing. Ethan and I shared a look. the man was crazy as fuck.“I got you good man! Damn, it works every time.” He said in between his laugh going back to seat. He took the bottle and gulped it down. He placed it back on

    NICKHis men quickly gathered but he waved them off as he stood. “That was uncalled for.” He said spitting blood on the ground, I hated the man, I hated what he stood for and that he was getting everything that belonged to me. “You deserve that and more. What the hell are you doing here?” he nodded.“Don’t make hitting me a habit, I might just retaliate.” He raised an eyebrow looking at me. I didn’t know if he was trying to warn me or taunt me. “What the fuck are you doing here Marcus?” he shoved his hands back in his pockets.“I want to see Luke. I know he is here. Tell him to come out and see me if you don’t want me going into your house.” What the hell could he want from Luke. Well, he was going to be his father-in-law. I guess they did have something to talk about.I turned to one of his men. “Call your boss.” He nodded going inside. “So, how is life in the Jones family?” the bastard. We just saw him a couple of hours ago and he was asking as If we have not seen each other for yea

    OLIVIAMarcus called very early in the morning asking if we were ready to leave. It was five in the morning when he called, and he sounded drunk. I didn’t know why he would be drinking when he still had medication to take. But I didn’t say anything because I wanted to see him for myself. also, it sounded like he was not alone wherever he was.I tried asking but he was already talking to someone else telling them not to touch something. Then the line went dead. I woke up then and packed the last of our stuff. We only had clothes, everything else burned with my previous home.When I finished packing, I ordered breakfast for us. I didn’t know what state the house was going to be in when we got there. There might not be time to get breakfast and there might be things to buy and errands to run. I wanted us to at least have breakfast before going there. Marcus said a car was going to be here around eight.Around seven, I woke everyone up to shower and have breakfast. “God! I am still feelin

    OLIVIAIt had been two days since Xander left, two days without food or water. My body had grown weaker with each passing hour, and I could feel every ache in my bones, every crack in my spirit. But there was a small sliver of hope amidst the physical torment: the sedative he had used to paralyze me was finally starting to wear off. I could feel a slight tingle in my legs when I pinched them hard, nothing much, but enough to give me the faintest glimmer of relief. Soon, I would be able to move again.That is, if I didn’t collapse from thirst and hunger first.The worst part of being in that hellhole wasn't the paralysis. It was the silence. The uncertainty. I had no way of knowing if it was day or night. Time had ceased to exist in that dark, suffocating tomb, and with each passing moment, I felt like I was slipping further from reality. I was literally buried alive, a prisoner in a catacomb of stone, with no one to help me, no one to hear

    NICKLuke’s face changed from shocked to anger very quickly. “Tell him, tell the moron where we are!” he bellowed throwing his hands in the air. “How could this moron do something like this? I am the only one who is supposed to do things like these. You boys are supposed to keep your hands clean!” he paced the room.He was frustrated. “Since when did Marcus become worse than me in things like these, just what the hell is wrong with him?” he said to no one in particular. I didn’t know if he was just frustrated or a little impressed by his son in law. He turned to me with a glare. “What the hell are you waiting for? Do you want him to bomb more cities before you tell him where the hell we are?”I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Just moments ago, Luke had been telling me to keep everything from Marcus, and now, here I was, being blamed for not telling him where we were fast enough. It felt like I had no place to stand, caught between a rock and a hard place. But it wasn’t the time t

    ETHANThe moment Nick hung up the phone, his face shifted, his expression unreadable. It was as if all the colour drained from him in an instant, his skin paling in a way that I had never seen before. I had been around Nick long enough to know that he was no stranger to bad news, but this? This was different. It was as if something beyond our worst fears had just been set in motion.We had already been living through the chaos, Luke, Xander, Olivia’s disappearance, and now, the kids were safe with us. That much, at least, had been a small mercy in the storm. But Nick looked like he had just been hit with the weight of something even worse, something that none of us could prepare for. My mind raced, trying to figure out what could possibly be so bad. And then it hit me. Could it be…? No, it couldn’t be.Before I could make sense of it, I moved closer to Nick, my concern deepening. I needed to make sure that whatever was going through his mind wasn’t as bad as I feared. Leaning in, I wh

    NICKI had been holding onto the hope that once Xander showed up, everything would fall into place. That the mess would be cleaned up, and we could put an end to the nightmare that had been plaguing us.Luke and Xander reached some sort of agreement, at least, that’s what I gathered, but the specifics were still hazy in my mind. Luke had told Xander to bring Olivia, or he would destroy his father’s remains.What exactly that meant, I wasn’t sure. It felt like a vague threat, but the tension in the air told me it wasn’t just idle talk. Xander responded with some sort of counter-deal, loaded with things I couldn't follow. Honestly, I was drained. I didn’t care about the details anymore. I just wanted this whole nightmare to be over. But Xander wasn’t backing down, and neither was Luke.Luke had his men tail Xander. And, as expected, Xander went straight to the hotel. He wasn’t trying to outsmart anyone or go off the grid. He was playing by his own set of rules, one that I didn’t fully u

    XANDERI was about to take the biggest gamble of my life, and I knew it. Luke was offering me a choice, an impossible one. It was a trap, a setup where only he could win. The terms of his proposition were clear: there would be no chance for me to exact my revenge on him, and there was a very real possibility that I would lose my life in the process. But I wasn’t ready to die, not yet. Not when I had a son waiting for me, hoping I would make it back.I had to think fast. Luke had me cornered, but I couldn’t show him how much fear his words stirred inside me. I had to put on a face, act like I was in control, even if I wasn’t. It wasn’t just about surviving this moment; it was about finding a way out. I wasn’t going to let him win that easily.I stood tall, trying to exude confidence, even though inside I felt like a bundle of nerves. My heart hammered in my chest; my hands clenched into fists at my sides. I could feel the sweat starting to bead on my forehead. If I didn’t hold it toget

    XANDERFor the past few days, I had watched them stumble around in their futile attempts to track me down. Every morning, they would set out at dawn, and every night they would return empty-handed, their efforts wasted. It was amusing to me.They had no idea where to look, no real understanding of how to hunt someone like me. It was almost laughable. I had thought they were dangerous, but I quickly realized how wrong I was. There was nothing good about them, nothing that made them worthy of fear.Perhaps they just hadn’t met their match yet. Until now.Now, they had encountered me, and they knew they were nothing compared to what I was capable of. They were amateurs, playing a game they couldn’t win. But Olivia... she was another story. She surprised me. I had expected more resistance from her, some fight, some fire. But instead, she complied. She ate the food I gave her, barely muttering a word of protest. The silence was almost worse than anything. I could tell that the trauma from

    NICKThe island was still, too still. No one slept that night. Luke had kept busy with his men, the sound of his voice drifting through the halls, low and intense. I couldn’t make out the words, but I could tell they weren’t discussing anything good.Ethan had joined them; he was more involved than I would have liked. I had asked him to keep an eye on Luke, to make sure things didn’t escalate further. I didn’t trust Luke, not when he was like this, wild, unpredictable, the kind of man you couldn’t reason with once his mind was made up. He was like a caged animal finally set free, and I was terrified of what he might do to the people on this island. They were innocent; they didn’t deserve to be dragged into whatever madness Luke was planning.As for me, I was stuck dealing with the kids. I tried to keep my mind occupied, tried to push away the dread gnawing at me. But before anything, I knew I had to prepare. I organized money, lots of it. It felt like I was bracing for something big.

    NICKIt had been three days since Olivia disappeared, the longest, most agonizing three days of our lives. Every day felt like a never-ending loop of despair. We woke up, checked the rooms, scoured the island, hoping to find some trace of her. But no matter how much we searched, it was as if she had vanished into thin air. There was no sign of a struggle, no indication that she had left the room, and absolutely no lead to follow. It was like she was swallowed up by the earth itself.The island wasn’t that large, and it seemed impossible that someone could just disappear like that. But here we were, endlessly combing through every corner, every inch of the place, but we kept coming up empty. It felt like we were chasing ghosts. The stress, the exhaustion, the hunger, none of it was helping our situation. It wasn’t that we didn’t have food. We had plenty of food. But none of us could bring ourselves to eat.The nanny we had hired to take care of the kids, a kind woman, had been cooking

    OLIVIAThe tears wouldn't stop. I was completely numb to the pain in my feet, but the sight of Xander meticulously cutting and removing my toenails sent waves of horror and helplessness through me. I had no idea whether toenails grew back after they were surgically removed in such a brutal way, but the thought of it made my stomach churn.“Please…” I sobbed, my voice breaking as I pleaded with him. The tears streamed down my face, unable to stop. I wasn’t sure what was worse, the pain I couldn’t feel or the torment of watching him work so calmly, so coldly. It was as though he had done this a thousand times before. The sight of the tiny toenails being placed in a small, neat box made my breath catch in my throat.“Why are you doing this?” I gasped between sobs, barely able to force the words out. It felt like my whole body was shaking, though the numbness in my feet made it hard to tell if that was real or just my mind frantically trying to escape the horror.Xander didn’t even flinch
