OLIVIAWhen I got outside, my hands shook, and I couldn’t stop crying. I thought Nick’s mother was the sweetest person in the world, but she was just a murderer disguised as a housewife. I couldn’t believe the woman I trusted turned out to be this. She threatened me for something I didn’t do. Why co
NICKI didn’t know what to say, what to think. For two days, I have not said a word. Mother blamed Olivia for father’s death but we both knew that I was to blame. Today was my father’s funeral and as I stared at the casket. My mind took me back to when it all started, Olivia begging me to give her f
OLIVIAI felt better after spending time with Marcus, he had a way of making me feel safe when I am with him. his words warm my heart and the way the man cared for me, made me feel like I could be happy again. But I couldn’t let myself think about such things, not when things were going downhill aga
NICKMother jumped in fright when I yelled. “Nick, open this door!” Ethan sounded on the other side banging the door, but I kept my eyes on my dear mother. The one who thinks she has the right to play God and choose who lives or dies. “What did you expect me to do Nick? If I didn’t choose, he was go
OLIVIAI heard Nick yell, and I turned to see Sandra with the knife held high charging at me. Nick was by the door, I think frozen, and I did the only thing I could do. I covered my son with my body and soon I felt stabbing pain on my shoulder then warm liquid spilled out. “Sandra! what the fuck are
OLIVIAThe guys had no choice but to listen to me. well, I didn’t give them much of a choice. They could both see that Nick was blinded or bias when it came to Sandra. The man was protective of her to a point that he risked his son’s life for her. Even after what she did, right in front of him but N
ELODIELoud defining sound boomed outside, the house shook and the cup I held in my hands fell shuttering into pieces. My first thought was earthquake, I hid under the kitchen counter trying to keep myself safe. Another boom was heard on the outside and the house shook even more. Fear gripped me, my
OLIVIA“At least let me come and help with the pealing!” I yelled from the lounge unable to sit still. Marcus peeked from the kitchen. “You stay right there; I said I am cooking you dinner and that is what I am going to do. I don’t want you in this kitchen until am done.” He was making us dinner.He
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
NICKI wanted to wipe that smug look off his face with a punch, who the hell did he think he was? to blackmail me like that. Using my son! I looked him dead in the eyes ready to punch him. “Go ahead, punch me. it will be more evidence against you.” He smirked, “See these cameras around?” the bastard
MARCUSI looked at the man, the audacity he had to come into my house after everything he had done. He even looked scared as if he were a man caught cheating by his wife. What the hell was going through that moron’s mind?I couldn’t even be angry at him anymore, it was no use, Nick was obsessed with
MARCUSAnger, that was what I felt as I left that room. leaving my hurting wife behind not knowing what the hell happened to her while she was away. She was happy when she left, she couldn’t wait to see Lupita. What did that woman do to her?I walked downstairs with Ethan following me behind. “How i
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
NICKI thought I could hold it in a little while longer, keep pretending to like her but when she mentioned being angry with Olivia. I couldn’t hold it in anymore. Who the hell did she think she was? She couldn’t even compare to Olivia.Yes, her grandmother died, but that was not Olivia’s fault. Tha
