ELODIE

After Nick finished telling us about Faren, I looked at James hoping to hear something hopeful come out of his mouth. For the first time I was hoping that the man would do something to protect our family. But as usual, he said nothing about his daughter and pretended like we didn’t just hear what she did.

He pretended like he has been pretending all these years like he didn’t know I had a hand in that woman’s disappearance, the mother of his daughter. Like always, he pretended like everything was alright. He smiled then turned to me. “I convinced the doctors to let me take you home, you look so much better now, my love.”

I offered him a small smile wondering if he feared me still. When I told him who I was back then, he disappeared from my life for almost a month. Then came back as if nothing happened and told me he was ready to face the whole mafia for me.

I had been moved back then and thought he was the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I was in love, still am b

    ELODIEMy hands shook at my sides as I continued to watch him. He has grown so much that he had grey hair on his head and beard. But still had the same scary eyes I always avoided looking into. The last time I saw him, he had a gun to my head. His hand trembling with anger, his eyes looked like those of a predator watching as his prey was being taken away.Anger coated those features, and I knew he wanted blood. Not just any blood but mine. I never understood that, I thought he loved me, that he would do anything to protect me. but on that day, gone was the protective brother I once knew and was replaced with a monster who wanted me dead.A smile appeared on his face and even that got my blood running cold. He opened his arms, and I regretted not bringing a weapon. I thought I would just scare Faren into telling me who she was working with. Never did I think I would run into him. “Come Ellie, give your big brother a hug, it’s been a while, little sis.’Ellie, that was the nickname he g

    NICK“Dad, calm down and tell me what happened.” He was not making sense. He was hysterical talking about mom, I was not sure what he was saying, “Just get here Nick, now! We must find your mother.” Find mom? Just what the hell was going on? I went out and rushed to the car telling Given to drive me to my parent’s house.I was so worried that I could feel the tension gathering on my shoulders. Could mother have gotten worse after getting home? I didn’t know what to think and father was not making it easy for me. I could tell that he was extremely stressed that his sentences made no sense. “Is there something wrong with this car?”Given gave me a confused look over the mirror. “No sir.”“Then fucking step on it!” I knew it was wrong taking my anger out on him he had been working for me for many years now. He of all my people should know when something was urgent. Now he was driving like we were going to the mall to do grocery shopping. I could see my father’s car on the driveway when

    ELODIEHow the hell did those two find out where I was? My heart almost jumped right out of my throat when Nick showed up at the door with his father behind him. I was sure Luke was not going to let them leave this place. “What a beautiful family you have here little sis, it’s a pity that your rich boy is still a coward.” He laughed throwing his head back.“I seriously don’t understand what you saw in that man, you left everything behind, your reputation, inheritance and a damn good lifestyle and for what? A coward that shakes in his boots at the sight of danger?” he shook his head. He would never understand, and I didn’t expect him to.“You don’t understand brother, love can make all that you mention seem like nothing compared to it’s power.” Anger flashed in his eyes. “I dare you to tell me I don’t understand one more time. Go ahead, say it.” The threat in his voice was clear as day. I didn’t know what he was talking about or why he was that angry.“Stay away from my family Luke, I

    NICKThe doctors checked on father, and they said it was only shock. That he was going to be alright, but they wanted to keep him overnight for observation. Since it was already late, I decided it was a good idea to go check on Olivia. I had gotten used to sleeping next to my wife again, it gave me peace being with her.Smelling her scent, listening to her heart beating and just hearing her breathing and knowing she was alive gave me peace in the past two weeks. After sending Given home, I went up to the third floor. When I got close to her door, I could hear voices. It was Marcus, I could feel my anger rising, I didn’t like the man with her.I knew he wanted her, and she was interested in him too. Didn’t she know that she was mine, that she belonged to me? I understood her anger, but I was not going to tolerate her behaviour of entertaining other men when I was there waiting for her. No one could ever be with Olivia but me. I walked into the room, Marcus was standing by her bedside

    OLIVIAHe clutched on his chest bending a little. His face twisted telling me that he was in pain. His eyes locked on me, and I saw pain in them. I watched as he stumbled a little losing strength on his knees finding it difficult to stand. Soon, his knees gave out and he fell on the floor. I sat there for a second not sure what was going on.Then I pressed the emergency button next to my bed and next my room was filled with doctors and nurses tending to him and asking me what happened. I had no words to say, I just kept my mouth shut. Soon, he was taken out of my room, and I laid back closing my eyes.Nick was no longer my problem and whatever happened to him had nothing to do with me. that was his family hospital, and they would take care of him and inform his family. I only needed to think about myself and concentrate on getting better and going back to my son. I was almost falling asleep when the door opened.I opened my eyes only to be met by those of Nick’s mother. I sighed, I wa

    ELODIEI have been anxious the past week, not because of my family, well, in a way it was because of my family. Nick was out of the hospital and resting at home. His father was the one running the company in his absence. But the family that got me worried was my brother, I knew he was planning something, and I wanted to know what it was.I also knew that something was happening back home, and I didn’t have a way of finding out since my uncle went underground. He was the one who would have gotten me all the information I needed. I had a feeling that he knew more than what he was leading on when he went underground. I think he knew that my evil brother was coming for me.What I didn’t understand was why he was coming after me now, what did Nick do that pissed him off so much. I tried asking Nick about it, but he didn’t know what I was talking about. There was a knock on the door, and I waited as the helper went to open the door.My brother appeared with two men following behind. I was s

    OLIVIAToday I got discharged from the hospital. I was happy and couldn’t wait to get home. See my son and just rest in my own bed. But I couldn’t get hold of Marcus to come and pick me up. I didn’t want to try Ethan after the conversation we had the other day. What he said made me feel uncomfortable. I wanted to keep my distance from him for a while.So, I walked out of the hospital about to call a taxi when a car stopped in front of me. When I looked, the driver was Given, one of Nick’s guards and driver. I raised an eyebrow wondering what he was doing there. “Missus, can I take you home? Sir left me here to run errands for you. he said I should get whatever you need.”Still, I didn’t understand, why would he do that? “I am not your Missus anymore Given, so, you don’t have to call me that and thank you. but I will take a taxi.” He got out of the car. “You will always be Missus t

    OLIVIA I didn't stay after asking that question to Marcus, I know that he doesn't know the answer to that question as well. I might be hurt by everything that is happening but I know he is hurting as well. He doesn't show it but he is a shadow of the man I married. I have my doubts some days, especially when he is enjoying himself too much with that woman. I pour myself a glass of warm milk trying to get myself to sleep. Just when i lift the glass to take a sip, a knock comes on the door. I glance at the wall clock and it's after ten. Who could it be at this time? The person knocked again. "Who is it?" I asked moving away from the door. If it was Ethan, he would have called first and he has a key.I moved back some more worried to death. "Olivia, open the door." I stop moving and frown. That sounded like my father, what could he be doing here at this time of the night? "Olivia! Open the door." I rush to the door and open. Indeed, it is him with Nick by his side. "What are you two d

    NICKI sat on that jet with the image of Olivia's sunken face engraved in my mind. I wanted to talk to her, find out if she was alright but as soon as the pitch was over, she disappeared. I thought of going over to her house to find out what was going on. Use the excuse that she invited me over not so long ago. But I held back, if she still wanted to talk to me, then she would have done so at the hotel after the pitch. But instead she left, that meant she was not ready to talk yet. But the image of her walking around looking like the dead hurt me. What could have happened to her? It's only been two months since I last saw her and she was happy. "Sir, we are here." I looked out and saw that we were outside Luke's office. Did he know what was happening with his daughter? I doubt it, he would have been there for her if he knew. A sigh left me. Owen opened the door for me and I got out. When I got to his office, i knocked once and let myself in. "I knew it could only be you who would h

Where the hell did, she get the audacity to say something like that to me and in my own house. Treating my son like that in his home, she was the guest, and she seemed to forget that.“I asked what are you going to do if I call him a brat?” she repeated herself and I closed the distance between us. Marcus was quick to pull me aside. “Let us all calm down here,” he turned to Jennifer. “I know you are emotional, and little thing might upset you, but Samuel is a child. You don’t treat him like that.”She laughed as if she was a crazy woman. “Then what am I carrying Marcus? Is it not your child that I am carrying and trying to protect? Why would you even reprimand me and not this boy for being so careless? I could have been holding hot tea and it would have spil

    OLIVIAI trusted my husband, besides our recent disagreements about Jennifer. I felt like there was something else going on. I didn’t want to think he was cheating on me with her, he was not that kind of man. Well, I also thought Nick was not that kind of man.He said he never cheated as well, that nothing ever happened between him and Sandra. But in my opinion, what he did with her was far worse than cheating. He neglected me, trusted her over me and even sent me to jail. I had a criminal record under my name because of him.Then there was my current husband, he looked hurt when he said he would do better, when he said he thought he was better than only to find out that they were the same. Then he told me to always remember that I was his, that he loved me.That alone told me that something was going on with him, something that might make me doubt his love for me. I wished I knew what it was, I wished he would talk to me and tell m

    MARCUSI was going crazy; it was like Jennifer was possessed. The way she was threatening me, it made me wonder what happened to her, the woman we met and interviewed. Or was the person she was showing me now the real her and the woman we interviewed was fake.Was it all a lie? I did say there was something with her that I couldn’t put my finger on. I guess this was it, she was a psychopath and a pathological liar. There was no way a normal person could act the way she did. I feared for my wife as she didn’t seem to like her much.I feared for my baby even though she seemed to think that it was hers and mine. Just what kind of psychological test did the do with these women in the clinic and how did they miss that Jennifer was fucking crazy!When I was done with her feet she was yawning. I left when she was about to get out of the bath. I didn’t know what to do. All I knew was that I needed to tell someone. My wife? No, i

That woman doesn’t like seeing other people happy, she thinks she is the only one who deserves happiness. He turned and started walking away.“She might be working all day, but I am the one growing a human inside me, your baby. I would think my job is more important than hers, not unless you don’t really want this baby then I will understand.” He stopped in his tracks and slowly turned to look at me.His face void of emotions and if looks

    MARCUSI couldn’t believe what I was hearing, so, she decided to tell Nick about Samuel. She even called him her son’s real father, like I was nothing but a replacement. I saw how tired she was, and I went to call the masseuse, I had booked for her, Lupita, grandma and Jennifer.I wanted them to relax and be pampered. She and I had a long way to go when the baby arrived. I wanted to spoil her now before all our time was taken by the baby. I guess, she was eager for her and Nick to get back together. Maybe I was just wasting my time trying to show her that I only wanted to be with her.I turned back without saying a word going straight to our room. I laid down staring at the ceiling as if it was going to provide me with answers or great wisdom on how to deal with what was happening. I didn’t know how long I laid there for when the door opened.My beautiful wife walked in, and I could not help but take in the sight of her. she looks radiant but the look in her eyes was distant and sad.
