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
OLIVIAI didn’t expect to see Nick so soon after asking him for a divorce. I thought he brought the papers already when I saw him parked around the corner from my house. Only to find out that he was spying on me. he thought I was still the naïve Olivia he sent to jail to believe the lie he told me a
NICK“Gentlemen, if this is what I flew all the way from New Village for, then I am not impressed. We have a reputation to protect, and you bring me ideas like this? Do better!” I stood and fixed my suit jacket. I walked to the door but turned to the group. “I want to hear something better tomorrow
OLIVIAI was busy showing the guys where to hang a painting in the reception area when Nick came in looking like he was ready to murder someone. “Everyone out, now!” The guys scattered leaving me standing by the reception desk wondering what the hell got into the man to act like that.He slowly walk
OLIVIAI stopped myself right in time before I let it slip that I lost my womb in prison and a year and four months of my son’s life. “Go on, Olivia. Tell me what you lost; I want to know.” I turned giving him my back. “You lost the right to ask me questions the day you called the police on me and s
NICKA month has passed with my people searching the hole of Summer Strand for that boy but so far, they have not been able to find him. Ethan might have moved him somewhere else, but I couldn’t find any record of any other place he might have travelled to after leaving Summer Strand. The records sh
NICKSilence followed the shuttered cup. The helper came rushing and cleaned up the mess. Even after she was gone, my parents still did not say a word. They must have been very shocked by the news. “Nick, what are you telling us, what makes you think Olivia had a baby in prison?”I sighed then narra
LUKEThe Don used to experiment on some of our men, those he deemed strong and capable. He got that thing from Russia, and it was bad. It turned the men into unfeeling animals, no feelings, not emotions, they were not that far off them robots.The way Nick was behaving reminded me of those men, whic
LUKE“What the fuck did you say?” I paced feeling hot suddenly, what in the devil’s name was Nick thinking. “Fuck!” I cursed under my breathe. “He told us not to open on peak at the door no matter what we hear, boss, he might be doing the same thing he did in the island.” Bloody hell!I cut the call
NICKLupita was right, Olivia didn’t want Xander to be killed. She was too good for that, no matter what Xander did to her, that good heart of hers would not allow her to wish death upon him. Luke knew that every well. Why did I believe him when he said he would take care of it, did he honestly thin
LUPITAWho the hell did she think she was? Now I understood why Sandra hated her guts. Olivia thought she was better than everyone and acted like she was a saint. Those men around her made her feel entitled like a fairy princess. She always acted like a good person, but she wasn’t, it was all an act
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
