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 wom
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 th
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 jump
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 h
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 prope
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 c
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
NICKEthan said something that got me thinking. Everything else he said made sense and I regretted it. But I didn’t get why he would say I didn’t take care of my wife’s grandmother. I might have refused to see her because of how ashamed I was of facing her after sending Olivia to jail. But I did sen
OLIVIALupita walked away, just when I let out a breath, my dad appeared out of nowhere. “You gave me a fright.” I was still traumatized by what happened at our previous home. People appearing out of nowhere still scared me.“Am sorry.” I took Lilly from him; my baby had grown but I hated that she
OLIVIA“You chased him away, didn’t you?” I turned to find Lupita standing behind me looking angry. It made me wonder if she was angry with me or something happened before she went there. “No, he decided to leave.” She scoffed as if she didn’t believe a word I said.“It’s because you never wanted hi
NICKI stopped in front of Olivia’s mansion; it was breathtakingly beautiful. I was jealous, Luke did well, and the place was secured. I got out of the car and was met with a drunk Ethan and Luke. “Are we celebrating already?” Luke just shook his head and focused on the doll in his arms.I scanned t
OLIVIAI hated my timing, I always had to appear at the time when people were talking about something I shouldn’t hear. Just like now, I shouldn’t have heard anything about Nick being a psychopath as they believed. Now since he is Samuel’s father, I needed to get involved with him again.Try to figu
LUKEMy mind went blank, and I just stared at Ethan. We both agreed to get Nick help, and he was the one who was insisting on we do that. I didn’t know what changed between then and now. could they have met, and Nick said something to make his best friend think he was a psychopath?“Luke, please bel
ETHANI could tell the question caught him off guard, which was good, he had no time to ponder and come up with excuses as to why he did it. He poured himself a generous amount of alcohol and drank it in one go. “Why would you ask me that?” He couldn’t even look me in the eyes and that told me, he d
NICK“Why would you do something so selfish!” He raised an eyebrow even tilted his head to the side slightly, he had this questioning looking at if he had a deep question for me to answer. “Look who’s talking, you are calling me selfish?” He chuckled, went around the counter, and poured himself a dr
MARCUSI was coming from the cold storage to get some bacon when I heard Ethan talking to my wife. I fumed in anger and my hands curled into fists. He had no shame and no remorse for what he did. He didn’t regret a thing. When I spoke to him, he apologized saying he didn’t mean to offend me. Even th
OLIVIAAs I sat there not knowing what to do, I began to think that Luke was right about not telling Marcus anything. Anyway, I didn’t tell him anything, he found out on his own and was now angry. I didn’t know who his anger was directed. It was not like I did anything wrong; Ethan was the one who k
