OLIVIAI have been treated badly before by police and that was because Nick ordered them to. I thought this time would be different, but I think it was worse. When we got to the station, mine and Marcus’s lawyers were already there. We were both taken into interrogation. I thought we would be separa
OLIVIAI was about to protest and ask him to let us try on our own, but he had already cut the call. Great! Another thing for Nick’s mother to blame me for. She will think that I asked Luke to help and wanted to get her son into trouble. But then again, both Nick and Luke were grown men. Nothing I s
OLIVIAYou know when the world has turned against you, when nothing you do seems to go well. Everything you try seems to fall apart. That is what is happening to me right now. Nothing in my life is going well. Back when I was arrested, I thought if I had money like my husband did then things would h
OLIVIAWe all turned and there stood Luke. Anger visible on his face, hands clenched into fists. “Who are you?” detective Rogers asked. “I said shut the fuck up and get your fucking hands off my daughter before I cut them off!” I cringed at the anger and the man didn’t look like he was joking. The t
NICKAfter I left, I didn’t care about a phone because I wanted some peace and quiet. I didn’t think of the mess my disappearance would cause back there. When Luke and his men showed up at the cabin, I was busy chopping wood. He didn’t ask questions when he saw me. the man rained punches on me then
OLIVIAI slept well that night, so well that I even slept in. I had no worry that it could be my last night as a free woman and sleeping on a comfortable bed. I didn’t sleep well since Nick disappeared because the detective was on my case threatening me about jail. I would stay up at night unable to
NICKI looked at the paper in front of me and I could not help the tear that fell and dropped on to it. it was official, final, finished. Whatever word was used for when things end. But the important thing was that my marriage with Olivia has come to an end. On my desk sat the paper attesting to tha
OLIVIAIt has been a month since my divorce finalized and a month since I last saw Nick. Marcus told me that he moved to Summer Strand. That was good that he told someone this time and didn’t just disappear. I didn’t want to be harassed by the police again over him disappearing without a word to any
OLIVIA“When will you stop controlling people? These are not your employees Marcus; they are our friends. what you said to her was wrong, I too was not going to let her be with the kids, you didn’t have to treat her like a criminal when she has done nothing.”I sighed putting my phone aside after Et
ETHANPain, that was what I felt when Marcus used Samuel to tame me and Olivia letting him. I got where he was coming from, and I got where Olivia was coming from, but my Emily was different, and we were working on ourselves. Going to therapy as they requested, there was no need for them to go that
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
