OLIVIA
My heart ached seeing all those tubes coming out of him. Just hours ago, we were having a nice dinner, and he was kissing me. Now he was laying on a hospital bed with tubes all over. We had a moment just one fleeting moment of peace and quiet before all went to hell again.
I was beginning to think that Nick’s mother was right. I was a curse, because everyone who got close to me got hurt. Look at Grandma Susan and Lupita. They were fine living a peaceful life in Summer Strand before I came along.
I brought them here and look what happened. Grandma almost died, Lupita too. Marcus was fighting for his life with no hope of waking up. It would have been fine if it were me who kept getting hurt but the people I cared about? It was too much.
“Look at you, social climber. Now that you don’t have Nick, you are looking for another man with deep pockets to support you. when will you learn Olivia that you don’t belong i
OLIVIAThe frown on my face deepened, I didn’t know If he was a pathological liar or that he was good at playing people. Either way, I didn’t like it. “You never made contact with me, what are you talking about? What I am getting is that the man had me tortured because he could and for whatever reason he had that I will never get to know!”I was shaking in anger; he should have stayed away from me if he knew something like that would happen. He should have never made contact and just when did he make contact? “I didn’t make contact directly, but I had people keep an eye on you. When they informed me about your imprisonment, the Don found out and he didn’t like it.”He sighed running his hand through his hair. “He sent people to hurt you to teach me a lesson, that when he tells me something, I do it, no questions asked or there will be consequences.” He let out a dry chuckle. “As if I made contact physically, the man still went ahead and hurt you to punish me. I couldn’t let that slide
OLIVIAA small chuckle escaped my lips, he was awake and had taken out the tube in his mouth. His voice was scratchy from the tube. Wait! A frown replaced the smile I had. “Why did you take out the tube, you could have hurt yourself.” I reprimanded rushing to his side. He offered me a smile.“If bullets can’t hurt me then there is nothing this little tube could do to me. I am indestructible.” He joked. He was back. Oh, thank the Lord. Now it was time to do what I set out to do. “Let me get the doctor to check on you.” just as I turned to leave, he held my hand.“Not yet just give me water.” I poured him water from the jug next to his bed and helped him drink. I placed the cup back. He still held my hand. “Tell me, why were you crying?” I smiled at him. “It’s not important now.” He studied me but did not force the issue.“What is this I hear about you wanting to leave me.” I gave him a sad smile; he must have heard me talking to him earlier. “Do not focus on that now. Focus on getting
OLIVIAGuilt ate away at me, now that I knew that Nick wasn’t the one who sent those people to hurt me in prison. I felt guilty that I was doing all that to him. yes, he did his fair share of hurtful things to me, but I did not want him to die. One day Samuel was going to ask who his father is and why he wasn’t in his life.I want to be able to look my son in the eyes one day and tell him who his father is and why he wasn’t in his life growing up. It would kill me to have to tell him that his father died, and I had a hand in it. “Ethan, I don’t want Nick in our lives, he might be innocent on somethings, but he has done a lot to me and his presence in our lives right now, is putting my son and everyone I love in danger.”Ethan nodded, he knew as well as I did that the decision I made to keep Nick away, was not taken lightly. I was sorry he was sick but as guilty as I felt, I couldn’t let him back in, not with Sandra still on the loose and not when he is still protecting the woman. “I k
ELODIEBloody hell! where did he come from? Olivia just scoffed then left us there. I wanted to stop her, tell her to save me and that I was sorry. That I didn’t mean to hit her. But it was too late, she was gone, and I was left with the monster I used to call my brother. Right now, he looked exactly as he did the day he wanted to kill me.The day my father pardoned me and banished me instead of having me killed. Luke was livid that day, he wanted me dead, but he could not kill me when the Don had already pardoned me. “You think you can do as you please with my daughter like your father did, is that it Elodie? Or you just don’t respect me enough to stop yourself from doing shit like this?”A shiver ran down my spine, I got cold and yet it was hot outside. “Luke, I didn’t mean to but the things you are doing are leaving me with no other choice but to take my revenge on her. you are hurting my son, Luke.” He gave me a dry chuckle.“So, what your father did to her and me is not enough. Y
OLIVIAAfter leaving Nick’s mother with her brother, I thought I should check on grandma and see if her doctor wont discharge her so I could leave with her and drop her at the hotel. But the doctor wasn’t there. I waited for a few minutes but gave up and decided to go back and get her in the afternoon like the doctor said.Just as I was leaving, I saw Luke dragging his sister towards the stairs, part of me wanted to ignore everything and just leave. Let them deal with each other. But when I saw that no one was doing anything, I decided to follow them and stop Luke if he tried anything. I knew Elodie hated me now, but I didn’t want her dead.I opened the door slightly and listened. I heard them talking and then the fighting started. I peeked in and what I saw I could not believe. Nick’s mother was fighting like a trained assassin, but her brother was even worse. There I was sneaking around hoping to save her when the time came but what I saw was not a woman who needed saving.I watche
NICKI just discharged myself again from the hospital when I woke up. I was mad at my body and my heart for giving up on me. it was not the time for me to be sleeping in hospital beds. A lot was at stake. Sandra was still out there, and I knew if she could convince me to turn against my wife and send her to jail.Then she would not stop until she was dead. She already tried and failed when she shot up her house and burned it down. She was going to try again until she succeeds. I didn’t know what she wanted anymore. I knew she was obsessed with me and wanted me for herself.What I didn’t understand is how she thought we could be together after everything she did. I couldn’t stand her, I was separated from my wife because of all her lies, and I might lose her to another man, all because of what she did. Also, because I was stupid enough to believe her.I went to Marcus’s ward to see if Olivia was there, I still wanted to talk to her. tell her that I didn’t care if Samuel was mine or not
OLIVIAI sat by Nick’s side until he was knocked out by the sedative the doctor gave him. I waited until he was taken back to the room he was in before he apparently discharged himself then left the hospital like I planned to. By then it was already eleven in the morning, and I had a lot to get done.I did my shopping, getting new phones for all of us, clothes, a laptop then went to meet with a real estate agent about a house. She showed me pictures of a few but there was one that caught my eye. The others were not what I was looking for. They were condos and I didn’t want that, I wanted a house.I even looked for a school for Samuel and made appointments to go and check them out. I then rushed to back to the hospital after calling Lupita to meet me there. I wanted to take them to the airport after picking up Grandma Susan. Alas, they didn’t want to go, and this is what I got.“Are you crazy, when have you ever heard family abandoning each other when times are tough? If you want to go
OLIVIAI didn’t know how he expected me to be quiet when he was doing such things to me. But I tried and then I ended up sounding like a wounded animal. I didn’t know why I couldn’t say no when he asked me to strip and get on the bed. If I had will power, I wouldn’t have been in such a predicament.“Do you now understand when I say I don’t want you to let another man kiss you?” I moaned, unable to speak. The pleasure was too much, and I wanted to cum. But Marcus knew just how to send me over the edge but stop just in time before I could cum. It drove me crazy.“I see you still have not found your voice or learned the lesson I am trying to teach you.” bloody hell! I shouldn’t have let him kiss me again, I shouldn’t have locked that door. Damn it! I shouldn’t have done a lot of things. Marcus and I were not in a relationship or at least I thought we were not but what was happening said that we were.He was acting like a jealous boyfriend trying to prove a point and unfortunately for me.
