OLIVIA

I wished he did. I didn’t even know why he didn’t come to the prison to serve me with those divorce papers. I waited for him to come; I was ready. Why didn’t he do it? “No, but I want to divorce him, you can tell him to bring the divorce papers and I will sign them.”

I wanted nothing to do with that man, ever again. All I wanted was for him to release me and set me free. Those divorce papers will free me from him. My mother-in-law didn’t ask any more questions after that.

We drove to their house; it still looked the same as I remember it. “Do you still not want anything to eat?” I shook my head no. “I am not hungry, but I would like to rest.” She nodded. My father-in-law has been quiet all this time. “You know where your room is. Go and rest.”

I didn’t want to sleep in the same room I used to share with Nick when we came to visit. “Can I please use another room and can I borrow your phone please. I would like to make a call.”

“Sure, choose any room you like and here is my phone

    NICKI didn’t go home after seeing her, I went straight to the bar and started drinking. I couldn’t get her image out of my head. She looked so…so frail. Why did she look like that, was prison that bad for her? “Give me another.” I ordered to the lady that was serving me.She walked away but instead of coming back with my drink, she came back with the bar tender. “Mr Jones, I think you have had enough. Do you want me to call a taxi for you?” he must think I am child and that I can’t think for myself.I am not a child, and I can drink as much as I want. “James, give me my drink.” I said with a threatening voice, well, I wanted it to be threatening but I am not sure how threatening I am in my current state. “Mr Jones, you have been drinking since you got here, three hours ago. I don’t think you can handle more.”I glared at him, I am still the heir of the Jones f

    ETHANOliver and I shared a look after Nick passed out. We both knew who he was talking about, we knew who he called his heart. Olivia. But why would he be so affected by her? he was fine when she was in jail the past two years. He didn’t care whether she lived or died. He was busy parading that woman around.Now that she is out, he has a problem. No! Nick should give others a chance too. “Help me with him and don’t ever let him drink this much again. Call me in early the next time he does something like this.”“Yes, Mr Lewis.” We placed him on the backseat of the car and Oliver stayed with him. My phone wrang just as I was about to start the car. I took it out of the pocket and a number I didn’t know flashed on the screen. I frowned answering it. “Ethan Lewis.”“Hi, it’s me.” My heart skipped a beat when I heard her voice. I looked at the backseat and Nick was out co

    NICKSandra must have been worried sick when I didn’t come home yesterday. I left going to the police station to sign the release documents since I was forced to drop the charges by my parents. She must have thought that I saw Olivia and wanted her back. Which I did, but it was the way she looked that got me distraught.She was not the Olivia I knew, and I wanted to know what happened in there. I thought going out drinking was going to make me forget the way she was, but it made it worse. The first day I drank and slept in my car then went back at it again until Ethan was called to come pick me up.I was angry with him too, he was my best friend, we grew up together. How can he not know that he got drunk and got Sandra pregnant? Now since the baby was no longer there because of my wife, Sandra didn’t want Ethan to know about that night.Olivia should have been there for her, supported her but instead she got jealous of the time Sandra, and I spent together working and instead of suppor

    NICKI woke up feeling like I was hit by a truck. I laid there with my eyes closed just listening to my aching body and regretting drinking so much. But then something moved by my side, and I opened my eyes then turned. Only to find Sandra sleeping next to me.I forgot about my aching body as I jumped out of bed. “What the hell Sandra!” she jumped up and sat on the bed disoriented and looking around. “What, what is the matter?” bloody hell! “What do you mean? You are in my bed!” she rubbed her eyes getting out of bed as if she did nothing wrong.“Oh, that. Sorry, I had a nightmare, and I couldn’t sleep. So, I came here, and I asked if I could sleep with you, and you said yes.” What! How drunk was I last night? Because I didn’t remember any of that. “Sandra, I was drunk last night, you shouldn’t have taken anything I said seriously and besides. I am a married man, and this bed belongs to my wife and I.”She didn’t look at me, she lowered her head then picked up her slippers and wore th

    ETHANI was about to drive out to pick up Olivia, so I can take her to her grandmother’s grave. I just sat in the car when James, my driver and bodyguard spoke. “Sir, I just got an alert, someone just accessed Mrs Jones’s prison record.” Nick! What the hell are you looking for?“We knew this might happen one day James, that is why we took so many precautions. I assume they didn’t find anything, yes?” He nodded. I could not afford to let Nick find out about Samuel. He didn’t deserve to know anything about that boy.“Keep it that way. And James, if Nick ever found out about Samuel and everything that happened to Olivia in there. I will forget everything we have been through and all the years you have worked for me. That means, I would put you down like I dog, if that ever happened.”He swallowed hard and started the car. Nick thinks he is the only one who is connected enough to make things happen. I was connected too, and I didn’t become a tech billionaire by chance, I was and so were m

    OLIVIAThe anger I felt when I saw my grandmother’s grave was indescribable. The pain though, was more than the anger I felt. The woman did everything for me and made sure I studied and became the woman I am today. Yet, I was not there when she needed me the most, I was not there to give her a proper burial.She was buried like a dog with no headstone or photo. It broke my heart that things got so bad that she became collateral damage. But I was going to make things right, those who wronged me, those caused me this pain, are going to feel the same pain ten folds.“Take me back Ethan, I am just going to tell Nick’s parents that I am going back home.” He nodded and we left the graveyard. Leaving my grandmother with a promise that I was going to do right by her. The drive back was silent, with me thinking of ways to make money. I had no job, and no one was going to hire me with a criminal record.That was what Nick wanted when he got me arrested and he did swear to make me pay, to make m

    OLIVIABeing back home felt strange and familiar at the same time. Every room I entered filled me with nostalgia and vivid memories of my grandmother and I. The house was dirty and full of dust. Walls needed paint and floors needed to be scrubbed.I roughly wiped my tears away as I cleaned. I have cried enough at the graveyard; it was time for me to act now not to cry. a knock came through the door, and I went to open. May was standing on the other side of the door with a pretentious smile on her face.The woman must think I was still the same naïve Olivia from before. “Yes?” I said with a raised eyebrow. “Olivia, it’s me, May.” Did she really think I didn’t know who she was? But I went along with her. “Oh, I couldn’t recognise you, it’s been so long.” She pushed me aside and went inside.It annoyed me but I kept my mouth shut. “Goodness! This house needs a good scrubbing! I heard about your arrest, and I want you to know that I didn’t believe a word they said. Media can be cruel but d

    NICK“What are you standing there for? Go get me my daughter-in-law back, tell her you are sorry and that you will do better. Go, Nick, go now.” Said my mother hitting me over and over while crying. She loved Olivia and I didn’t like seeing her that way. But what else could I do when she didn’t want me? I was not going to force her to want me.I held her hands to stop her from hitting me, “Mom, she doesn’t want me going after her. you heard what she said. She wants a divorce and nothing I say will change her mind. I am sorry.” She cried even more freeing herself from my hold. It hurt, the way she looked at me was like she was looking at someone she despised.“Get out, get the hell out of my house Nick!” she screamed at me, I looked over at dad, but he just sat there as if nothing was happening. I knew then that I had done more than just disappoint my parents, I hurt them. “I am sorry mom.” She only glared at me and pointed at the door.I gave her a sad look before leaving. Ethan and O

    MARCUSI could see the anger on Luke’s face, but it didn’t matter. A smile spread across my own face, though it wasn’t because of anything he’d done. It was simply because he was here. I didn’t care how intimidating he looked, glaring at me from across the room. I was happy he came. I was relieved my wife hadn’t changed her mind. And most importantly, I was glad my baby was going to her mom.Luke’s anger didn’t matter in that moment. What was his anger compared to the joy I felt just by his presence? I knew it was selfish, but what could I do? I was a father now, and my daughter needed a mother. And there was no one better than Luke’s daughter and my wife. Olivia. I both wanted the best for our little girl.Luke would have to forgive me for my selfishness and find a way to be the grandfather to mine and Olivia’s child. He walked further into the room, each step deliberates and measured, as though he was approaching an enemy or hunting prey, trying not to alert them to his presence. It

    NICKOthers might have thought I was cruel, but I wasn’t. Marcus needed to understand that Olivia wouldn’t stay where she wasn’t loved or appreciated. I knew that better than anyone. I had lost her once, granted, the mistakes I made were huge and unforgivable. But now, Olivia wasn’t alone. She had Luke, her father. And he would never let her be mistreated again.Luke might have liked us, but when it came to his daughter, the man was ruthless. I had seen it with my own eyes. That’s why I had to remind Marcus that winning Olivia back might not happen. I wasn’t trying to discourage him, but I wanted him to be aware of the reality of the situation.If they managed to get back together, I would be happy for them. That would mean we could all come back home. If not, Olivia might never return to New Village, and Marcus would have to travel to see his daughter. Not only that, but he would also have to watch that other guy love the wife he lost, and that was going to eat him alive. It drove me

    MARCUSI was stunned when a nurse came in and told me I had a call from my wife. Even Nick, who was still barely conscious, opened his eyes to glance at the nurse. I just shrugged and followed her out, not thinking for a second that it would actually be Olivia on the other end. She wanted her baby with her. There was no way to describe the joy I felt—it was like everything else in the world faded away in that moment.Even when she cut the call after I begged her not to leave me, my smile didn’t fade. I was over the moon. She had read my letter, and she was willing to be a mother to our daughter. I had truly hit the jackpot when I married her. God, how I wished I could be with them right now, making it up to her for all the pain I caused.Olivia was more than just a good woman and a wonderful wife. I was starting to believe she was an angel in human form. No human could possibly be that good. We were all flawed, but not her—she had a heart of gold.“I take it that really was Olivia on

    OLIVIA“I am guessing that is your husband.” Xander said the moment he saw me. I was going to Ethan’s room to get Samuel for dinner and met him on the corridor. “It’s a long story.” He nodded, “He is very possessive of you, I see. As he should be, a woman like you is… I won’t cross the line.” I wanted to laugh.He looked bothered by Ethan and wanted to know if he was my husband and maybe ask what happened between us, but he was holding himself back. What a gentleman. “I am going to get Samuel for dinner. Talk later?”“No, you won’t be talking to him anymore.” Came Ethan’s voice from up ahead, he was walking towards us. “Samuel is sleeping, I came to tell you that. now, you can go back and get some rest. I want to have a word with this guy.” I chuckled.By this time Xander’s smile was gone and only a serious looking, handsome man remained. “He is my friend, Ethan.” I reminded. “Okay, I want to talk to your friend then, maybe he could be my friend too.” Xander chuckled shoving his hands

    NICKI threw Marcus’s phone away then kicked the tires of his car. I was so angry that I didn’t know what to do with myself. “You fucking moron!” I bellowed in anger. Marcus looked like he was going to faint, clutching on his chest as if it hurt. He could die for all I cared.It should hurt him like hell, he saw everything I went through when he took her from me and now, just when I was accepting that he had her. he went and fucked it up! Now another fucking man from somewhere we don’t know was busy giving her the attention he never gave her.What the hell was I supposed to do with that? “You called me here for this shit? fix it, fucking fix it now!” I yelled in his face pulling him closer to me with his collar. I was mad, enraged. What pissed me off even more was that the moron just cried.He didn’t say a fucking word, he just cried. Bloody shit! what the hell was I going to do with Marcus. I swear to God above. If he didn’t have a child to take care of, I would have killed him! “Why

    OLIVIAI got a huge shock when Xander said there was a man standing on the balcony taking photos of us. He brought us to the pool and Samuel was having fun with Justin, his son. I was happy that my son was smiling and laughing like that. he must have missed me as much as I missed him.Lupita was also enjoying herself while grandma was constantly bothering Luke. He would complain but I think he liked it. Xander said he was going to check who the man was but then he sat back down saying he was coming our way with a low voice.I thought maybe it was one of Luke’s men but when I turned, I was shocked to see Ethan in white shorts, white short sleeve shirt. When he got to us. He didn’t say a word, he picked me up from the chair and carried me.He started walking way but stopped and turned to Lupita. “Please look after Samuel for a while.” Lupita nodded with a smile. Xander had an expression I could not read; he must have thought that Ethan was my husband.“Hello Ethan.” He ignored me and to

    MARCUSLast night, we said our goodbyes to Ethan. He said we were going to see him whenever Olivia decided to come back. He warned us not to have him followed or check where he went. I wanted to so badly but at the same time, I wanted to give Olivia the space she needed to calm down. I also sent a letter for her with Ethan.Then I went to the hospital and spent the night being kangaroo dad to my newborn daughter. A child with no name and born into a broken family. I never wanted her to know that she was the reason my wife left me. I would like to believe that the cruel people who instigated the whole thing were the ones who were responsible for everything.But how would I explain to her that she spent days and maybe it was going to be months without a name. because I wanted her mother to name her, if she did that, that would mean she accepted my daughter as her own. She might not want me back, but it didn’t matter to me, as long as my daughter had a mother. But it was going to hurt me

    MARCUSWe now knew that Olivia was with Luke. But the man was not budging, he was not picking up my calls either. He only picked up when Nick called but only to tell him to not look for them. I didn’t know what he expected us to do. But he knew very well that we wouldn’t sit on our hands and do nothing.Ethan for starters now looked like a caveman in just four days of them being gone. The man didn’t sleep, he was busy with whatever sites he was busy with to try and locate them. I have tried to call Olivia many times, but her number was not in service anymore. My wife hated me so much that she didn’t even want to talk to me.“Send Luke a picture of this man, ask him to at least take him out of his misery. He won’t tell us any way even if he knew where they were. This is a man who kept the fact that Samuel was your son, twice. He can be trusted.” Nick glanced at Ethan.“I think we became frien

    OLIVIAThe Maldives was a beautiful place, serene. Nothing or no place could compare to it. being there felt like paradise. I felt free, not once did I think about my husband, I had everything and everyone who meant something to me by my side. Marcus was busy with his daughter, the most important person in his life.I limped to the balcony and closed my eyes feeling the sea breeze gently caressing my face. I inhaled deeply smiling as I did so. I should have gone there sooner. “I know Nick, but I will not tell you where we are and don’t try to look into it because you will be killed or detained until I come back.” I didn’t want to be hearing anything about the people back there.Luke was on the balcony as well taking a call, I didn’t notice him at first until he spoke. “I don’t care about that, this time, I am thinking only about my daughter, what you and Marcus want is none of my business.
