NICKI was scared out of my mind when I saw him like that. Olivia was right, I shouldn’t have taken him away from her. He was not even with me for an hour and that happened. My son was not safe with me. As much as I wanted to be with him and take him away from his mother. I didn’t think it was a good time to do so.I did not trust the woman who claimed to be my sister. Father was too blind to see it, but I was not. She did something to my son and I was going to prove it. One way or another, I was going to prove that the woman had ill intensions towards us. Maybe she still held a grudge for what mother did to hers.But to take that out on my innocent boy was something I was not going to tolerate. She could do anything she wanted to me, mother or father but not my son. He had nothing to do with all this. Her anger should be directed at the people who wronged her not my son. I watched her finish her coffee and throw her empty cup into the trash.She turned a corner, and I left the others
NICKAs pissed as I was about the whole thing, I knew I had to play it smart. She was the owner of a brothel, and I would like to think she didn’t get to where she was because she played it safe. She had skeletons in her closet, and I wanted to find them. but I wasn’t going to find anything if I was hasty. The woman was hiding something, and I needed to know what.She should never have gone after my family and maybe she would have still had a good life, but she decided she wanted more. She maybe my sister but that did not mean she had good intentions. I moved away then took my phone and dialled the man. “Sir?”“Find out everything you can about my so-called sister.”“Already done, sir. I do a check on everyone claiming to be a part of the family?” that was why he was there, to protect our interest and for interest’s sake. I asked. “Did you do a check on my wife as well?” si
OLIVIAI went to the cafeteria going to get myself some coffee. I got the coffee and absent mindedly walked back towards my son’s ward, just as I was about to pass the storage room, the door opened, and I was pulled inside. My coffee fell and spilled. The storage room was dark and just as I was about to panic the lights went on.Sandra stood there, so close and looked so angry. I just stood there looking at her and not sure what to say to her. “Why are you pretending Olivia, how long do you think you can play this game with me and win?” I tried pushing her aside to get out of the room, but she stood rooted there as if she were a tree.“You are not leaving here until you tell me what you are playing at.” That just got me angry, I slapped her across the face. She looked shocked at first but then a smirk appeared on her face. “Good, that is what I want, that is the Olivia I always wanted to see. Now I see you, no pretence just you. now tell me, are you that desperate to have Nick back tha
NICKI paced in front of my son’s ward not able to think clearly. I didn’t know what to think to begin with and that was what frustrated me the most. My parents appeared with food, and I looked at them. I mean really looked at them as if I was seeing them for the first time. I might as well have been since I didn’t know half the things I was finding out about now.First my sister and now this. I thought the man was someone my father had like I had Ethan to find out things for me. But he was not father’s person but mothers. Also, why didn’t I know a thing about her family when I knew everything about father’s side of the family.I just assumed she had no family left but I was beginning to doubt that. “Why are you looking at me like that?” mother asked as soon as she was close enough. Not wanting to ask questions in front of that woman, I said nothing. “Could you accompany me to go find the doctor? I still have questions, but I don’t want to be alone.”She quickly nodded handing the food
OLIVIAWhen I woke up, it was morning, and the doctor was busy with his morning rounds checking on Samuel. I was on the bed next to him, and I didn’t know how or when I got there. I suspected Nick but then again, the man would never do something like that for me. it was sad to even think that he would.“You are wake, good. I have a report for you, and you have many visitors out there waiting for you. but your husband wouldn’t let them come inside.” I just looked at him, he knew that Nick was no longer my husband. I was sure the whole world knew, and he insisted on calling him that.“I guess you are not a morning person, alright. Do you want me to call him for you?” he was pissing me off by the second. “Oh kay. Any way. Your son is fine, and the test come back negative. We are still not sure what caused the reaction that he had but I will ask that you be careful. We don’t know if it was something he ate or touched but I suggest you watch him closely from now on.”I sighed relieved, but
OLIVIA“Enough! If you want to be a father to your son, Nick. Then I suggest you start acting like one and stop blaming people for not being there for your son. Now we will not be arguing in front of Samuel, the boy has been through enough already.” His mother reprimanded looking angry. If there was one thing I liked about his mother.It was that she did not take her son’s side when he was wrong, she told him off and didn’t have mercy while doing so. I didn’t even take the shower I was supposed to take, I just woke my son up and told him we are going home. “I am taking you home.” Marcus offered and I nodded.“I will bring you all something to eat.” Ethan offered. “I am going to be the one taking them home.” Nick said but no one paid any attention to him. his sister sneered on the side and Nick glared at her. I could tell that those two will never get along, they already didn’t trust each other.Marcus, Ethan and I walked out following each other. Nick’s mother ran and caught up with us
OLIVIAThe guys shared a look like they did not believe that Nick’s mother had good intentions. “I know it sounds strange, but it makes sense to me. Look at all the strange texts I keep getting after each incident. Someone wants to make me look bad and she said she would find out who it is and send me the information.”The guys said nothing. I understood where Marcus was coming from, Nick has not exactly been a model citizen when it came to me. The man has done a lot to hurt me, and he didn’t know his mother. So, he didn’t believe his mother would take my side in this. He might think that she wanted to trick me or something.But I had to trust someone, until his mother shows me something to make me doubt her, I will give her the benefit of the doubt. She was not her son. “I would listen to her when she said be careful. She is right, not all who smile with you are your friends. Take Sandra for instance.” He said that looking at Ethan.He frowned getting up. “I will not stand for this, a
NICK“Tell me something, mother. Am I really your son, did you give birth to me?” I was pissed, really pissed at her. How could she? “Stop being dramatic Nick and tell me what you mean?” I looked at father, but it was like he was not even there. The man had not said a word to mother and I since that incident at the hospital.“Why would you take Olivia’s side like that in front of everyone, in fact, you always take her side on everything. Why do you do that mother, is Olivia’s happiness more important to you than mine?” the woman glared at me sending a cold shiver down my spine. I had a fair amount of regret when she gave me that look.“So, in your opinion, you want me to take your side even when you are being a moron? I told you to grow and be the son I raised you to be. Maybe then I will start taking your side. Until then, do not question me about nonsense and I want you out of my house. You have your own, go back there. Your father and I need some peace and quiet.”The woman was merc
