NICK“Nick look, isn’t that Olivia?” I turned to look; I didn’t need to be told twice that was my wife I was seeing. Even with her back on me, I could tell it was her and her laughter confirmed it. I would recognize that laugh anywhere, the kind that made my world stand still and everything in it di
OLIVIAHe let her call me names in front of our son. He might have stopped her and took my side, but I could see that she still had a hold on him. I wished I knew what Sandra has on him to make him so loyal to her like that. The man never even showed emotion the day I gave him signed divorce papers.
OLIVIA“Beautiful flowers, who are they from?” asked Marcus coming in and standing next to me. “I think they are from Nick.” He didn’t say a word and just moved away from me. “They mean nothing, flowers are not going to erase everything Nick did to me, and they will not change our plans. Nick Jones

NICKI was woken up by my phone ringing nonstop. I tried to ignore it, but the person was persistent. He would call and cut then start again. Without opening my eyes, I picked up the call. “What!” I was so annoyed; did they see the time? Well, I didn’t know what time it was as well, but it was not t
NICKI threw the phone on the wall, and it shuttered into pieces. Father looked at me with a raised eyebrow not moved at all by my outburst. Just when I thought I was wrong about my wife, she goes and does something like this. If she wanted to be with Walker, then why couldn’t she just be with him w
OLIVIAI sat there watching the news with my jaw dropped. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing and seeing in the news and the silence from the Jones family was worrisome. They must know that the situation was not going to go away without them addressing it.It was midday and the news broke in the m
OLIVIAMy hands shook as I typed a reply. “Nick, I didn’t do this, you have to believe me.” my eyes were glued to the screen waiting for his reply. I didn’t want to get on Nick’s bad side like that. I wanted revenge yes but in business. I would never go after the family like that. I was not that kin
MARCUSI sat there and watched my wife. From the first moment we arrived at the restaurant, and she saw the guys to the moment that woman arrived. When she saw the guys, she had been disappointed, she wanted the celebration to be just us.I got that but I didn’t want them coming to our home, I had p
OLIVIAThe last three months had been…I didn’t know how to describe them. Quiet was not the right word, maybe lonely would have been better in that situation. It took a while for us to get used to being alone, just us. It had never been just us since we got married. Nick and Ethan always hung around

OLIVIAI was holding tears the whole drive home. My chest burned and my heart was sore. Our families and those closest to us could deceive us sometimes. Tell us we were good, doing good, but they failed to point it out when we were doing wrong. When we were hurting those, we claimed to love.No one
OLIVIAI straightened on my seat looking at her for a moment without saying anything. I knew she was hurting, and I wanted to find the right words to say to her. “I know I have put you through a lot, being around me has put your life in danger many times and I am sorry I neglected you in all those t
OLIVIAI woke up early, got myself and the kids ready. By the time Marcus woke up, we were already in the kitchen having breakfast. “Where are you all going without me?” I just smiled and served him breakfast. I had been missing Lupita a lot since she moved out.I had given her time to settle in lik
