MARCUSI cursed under my breath feeling angry. When I told Warren about Olivia, I didn’t do it because I looked down on her, I did it so that he heard it from me and not anyone else. The news about that incident were easy to find and I didn’t want it to seem like I was hiding it. Now the man used th
NICK“Olivia’s wedding is in two weeks.” I ignored Ethan, I knew he only wanted a reaction out of me, but I was not going to give him the satisfaction. “She looks happy, it’s been a while since I last saw her smiling so much. Marcus must be doing something right.” Still, I said nothing. “What do you
NICKI sat there and watched my mother leave after dropping such a bomb on me. I didn’t know if I should take what she said seriously or as just rumblings of an old and frustrated woman still grieving the loss of her husband. As a son, I should be listening to my mother and trying to make her life e
OLIVIAIt’s the day of the wedding and I couldn’t sleep a wink last night. I didn’t remember myself being that nervous on my wedding day with Nick. What was different about this one? I tried; God knows I tried. I drank warm milk, camomile tea but none of that worked. I was still up at two in the mor
OLIVIAI couldn’t tell how I was feeling, I didn’t know if it was anger or disappointment. Silence fell in the church after his words. “Nick, this is not the time for you to play games.” Ethan said taking a few steps in his direction, but Nick paid him no mind. The bastard kept his eyes on me the wh
NICKI sat in the church wearing my best suit attending the wedding. I thought I could do it, I thought I could sit there and watch her marry someone else. But I was only lying to myself. because the problem started when she didn’t show up on time, I kept checking the security cameras at my place ho
OLIVIAAs soon as they left, Marcus loosened his tie then took off his jacket, shoes, pants, everything. “I am sorry about what happened. I didn’t know he never filed the papers.” He paid me no mind as he threw everything he was wearing on the chair. “Do you want me to help you out of that dress?” I
NICKWhen we got to my place, I threw myself on the couch while Ethan poured us something to drink. He handed me mine then sat opposite me. He kept glancing at me with a smile on his face. I knew he wanted to say something, but I wasn’t going to ask. If he wanted to say something, then he would say
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
