It’s been a week since Lilly came to live with me. My baby was growing, though not as quickly as I had hoped. Still, I could see progress, and that gave me a sense of relief. I registered her using the documents the doctors had brought back, and I chose Marcus’s mother’s name as her middle name. I was sure he would be pleased by that.
These days, I spend most of my time with Lilly in my room. Lupita and Grandma would come to visit us occasionally, then disappear again. I liked that they were enjoying their time, but I missed Samuel. The boy was hardly ever around. If he wasn’t with Ethan, he was with Nick or my father. They always seemed to have something to do with him. Maybe they were trying to help Nick bond with him more, to make up for the time they lost together.
I did blame myself a little for that. Back then, Nick hadn’t been the best role model, and I had done what I thought was best for Samuel. Stil

XANDERI was furious about what happened earlier. I didn’t even know where Xander had come from or what he was thinking showing up there like that. I’d checked before going back to Olivia’s room, and everything was fine—she and Samuel were outside, playing by the pool. Then, out of nowhere, Xander appeared.I had finished cooking, but the food wasn’t plated yet. I had been taking care of the final touches, and now I was stuck trying to figure out a way to get Olivia that meal. Damn Ethan. That guy was always too much. Why couldn’t he just mind his own business for once?I’d run background checks on all of them, Ethan, Nick, and Marcus. They were all prominent businessmen. Ethan was a millionaire, while Nick and Marcus were billionaires, practically on the same level of wealth. Olivia certainly knew how to choose them. From what I gathered, none of them worked with Luke. They just hung out with him becaus

NICKI had been in the baby room, looking after the baby while Olivia took a well-deserved break. I had just finished changing her and placed her back into her bed. I went to make her bottle, and when I returned, I found that guy, Olivia’s friend, standing there, looking at the baby. I had no idea when he came in or how.I had only stepped away for a moment to use the bathroom, and when I came back with the bottle, he was just there. It felt like he had just appeared out of nowhere. A miracle, maybe? But I didn’t believe in miracles or coincidences. Ethan had mentioned he didn’t like the man, and I found myself agreeing with him, but this situation was just too creepy.I stood behind him and watched as he slowly looked at the baby before turning his gaze to Olivia. “She’s going to be beautiful, I can tell,” he said, speaking to a sleeping Olivia.Well, Sandra, her mother, wasn’t unattractive, she was beautiful. The only thing she lacked was a good heart. As for her father, Marcus, he

MARCUS“What did you just say?” My voice was low, but it carried a dangerous edge as I paced back and forth across the office. The phone pressed tightly against my ear; I was on a call with Ethan. He was giving me some feedback about the man who had been getting close to my family the one I didn’t trust. The one who was starting to make me see red.“Listen, man, I’ve already told you. I will keep an eye on him and the family,” Ethan said, his tone calm, almost too calm for the situation. “There’s no need to panic.”I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “Are you serious, Ethan? You think I’m going to just sit back and relax while there’s a potential threat lurking around my family? You want me to just let that go?” My pulse was racing, blood pounding in my ears as I struggled to keep my anger in check.“Do you honestly expect me to just sit here, waiting for something to go wrong while I know there’s a man who could hurt them? How am I supposed to do nothing? You know that’s not me.”

OLIVIAI was still on talking with Nick, trying to figure out how we were going to handle Xander without bringing my father into this mess. We both knew that if we involved him, everything would spiral out of control. The island, the people, nothing would be untouched, and we couldn’t risk that.We finally agreed to take matters into our own hands, bringing Ethan in since he was the one who had seen this coming from the start. It should’ve been a no-brainer, but I couldn’t shake the feeling of how stupid I had been. Why had I trusted people so blindly? I should’ve learned my lesson after Jennifer, after everything that went down with her. But here I was, repeating my mistake, putting my faith in Xander.I should’ve been more cautious, especially with someone I didn’t know. But no, I let my guard down, and now look where we were. The consequences were closing in on me, and I couldn’t stop them. Olivia, when are you going to wake up? What was it going to take for you to finally see the

OLIVIAI hoped Nick would come home early today. He hadn’t been around much since he started working with my best friend, Sandra. Things had been hectic at the office, but I still hoped today would be different, seeing how it was our fourth-year anniversary. I also had big news; I was finally pregnant, and we were about to have the family we’d always dreamed of.I couldn’t wait to see his reaction when I told him, and I didn’t even want to think about my mother-in-law—she’d be thrilled. I’d call and tell her after telling Nick. I was sure they’d cut their trip short once they heard the news of my pregnancy.I hummed as I moved around the kitchen, cooking. I was happy, despite knowing things hadn’t been the same between Nick and me lately. I hoped that after hearing the news of my pregnancy, he would become the man I fell in love with again.Just as I placed the last dish on the dining table, the front door opened. My heart leaped with excitement, and I rushed to greet him. Nick was ta

OLIVIATwo Days Later“Lock her up, and don’t let her see the sun ever again. She doesn’t deserve it!” Nick barked at the New Village Town police. His eyes were cold as ice, filled with hatred. The officer roughly shoved me into the filthy, smelly cell before slamming the bars shut. I turned to look at Nick and Sandra. They stood together, looking like old friends... or lovers. She was why he had turned against me, though I didn’t understand what had motivated her. We’d grown up together, did everything together. We’d watched each other’s backs. And now she stood beside my husband as he threw me into jail for something I didn’t do. A few hours ago, I was cooking dinner for my husband, waiting for him to come home from work. Even after the incident with Sandra in the kitchen, and even though things had changed between us since Sandra came back, I still had hope that we could fix things. Then this happened.The way Nick had looked at me when he arrived with the police broke my heart,

OLIVIAAs I stood in the cell, my thoughts went to my grandma. What would happen to her now that I was locked up? My chest tightened as I thought of her and her fragile health. Hearing about my arrest might kill her.Nick turned to the officer. “She’s to have no visitors and isn’t allowed outside. Let her rot in this cell. She can die here for all I care!”My heart shattered into a million pieces. I felt hot and struggled to breathe. How was my grandmother going to know that I was all right if I couldn’t have visitors? This would kill her! My throat felt like it was closing, threatening to cut off my air supply. I wanted to give up so badly. But then I looked at the satisfied gleam in Sandra’s eyes. Determination flooded back into me. I wasn’t going to let that witch win. By then, I was drenched in sweat, my eyes wide as saucers. I was sure I looked pale as a white sheet. The nice policeman looked terrified. “Sir, she can’t breathe. Should I call the doctor?” Maybe I should tell Ni

OLIVIAI sat in the dark jail cell, thinking about my baby and how he was going to survive in a place like this. I didn’t care about myself—they could keep me there for as long as they wanted—but my baby didn’t deserve this. He didn’t deserve to be born in a jail or suffer for my sins.It was only the second day of my incarceration, and the police were keeping their word to Nick about not letting me out. But I thought they were taking it too far; they hadn’t given me food since I arrived.It was good that nothing stayed in my stomach anymore. I’d been starting to have morning sickness. But I still felt hungry, even though I knew whatever I ate would come back up again.“Oh, my baby,” I said, caressing my stomach, “I’m so sorry you’re going through this, that you’re going to start your life into this world like this. But I swear to you, I will protect you. Your father will never know you exist, and he’ll never hurt you or me ever again. He’s done enough.”The cell door opened. I stood

ETHANAfter dealing with that guy, I went looking for Nick. I overheard part of his phone call, but I couldn’t make sense of what he was saying. Still, I had a feeling he was up to something. I never fully trusted him, especially when it came to Olivia and Samuel. Those two were everything to me, and I couldn’t afford to fail them again or let anyone hurt them. They had already been through too much."Nick, Nick?" I called out as I approached his room, feeling anxious.He stepped out, looking displeased. "What? Why are you calling me like there's a fire in the hotel?" He was annoyed, but I didn’t have time for that."I need to talk to you. Come to my room, now." I turned to leave, but then he spoke."I’m not going anywhere. If you have a problem, go find Luke. You told me to be a father, and that's what I’m doing. Go sort your stuff out with him."He started to go back inside, but I stopped him.

XANDER“I told you that I am not leaving here until I make Luke feel what I felt when he took my father from me. when he felt me as an orphan with nowhere to go.” I have been looking for that man for many years now. I forgot about him for a while when my wife was still alive. She made me feel complete but then she felt me as well.“All I am saying is that you must be careful. You know what he is capable of.” My friend warned. I scoffed, if he didn’t want people going after his family then he wouldn’t be doing what he was doing. “Man, he makes me so angry. He is out here playing happy family with his daughter and grandson. Does he think about what he has done to people like me.”I would have forgotten about him and continued to live my life rising my son. But I had to see him, a face that has haunted me for years. Happy with his daughter and grandson. He didn’t even know who I was, he even sha

MARCUS“Why are you still not doing what I asked? The boss has been on edge, and you’re still delaying things. Do you want to be fired, is that it?” Steve’s voice was sharp with frustration.“It’s not that, Steve, but we can’t rush these things. There are permits we need to get, and those things don’t happen overnight. You only told us about this on Tuesday, did you think everything would be wrapped up in just a couple of days?” My legal team was doing their best to manage, but I could tell they were feeling the pressure.I had just arrived in London after finalizing the deal on the house.“You don’t have to put so much pressure on them, Steve,” I said, trying to ease the tension. “I just want things to be at least clear by the end of the month. I want to be there myself to check the locations. That should be enough time to get the permits, right?” I asked the legal team.“We can’t be sure, sir. Their laws are different from ours, and we don’t know how long a process like this will ta

NICKI thought I knew what joy and happiness were, but then I heard my son defend me. He stood in front of me, protective and determined, insisting that I shouldn’t be sent away. A warmth spread through my chest, filling me in ways I’d never experienced before, making me feel more alive than I ever had.So, this is what people meant when they talked about the joy of having kids. I’d been grinning like a fool since that guy left and made me angry.“Did you find yourself a woman?” Ethan asked, raising an eyebrow. I frowned.“What are you talking about?”He took a sip of his beer, not breaking eye contact. “You’ve been smiling like an idiot, like you’re thinking about someone you love, someone who makes you happy. A woman.”I laughed, shaking my head. Luke chuckled too, but then he added, “As much as you look ridiculous with that smile, I’d be glad if you found a woman.”I laughed even harder. “Who said only a woman can make a man happy?”They both stopped and turned to look at me at the
