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
OLIVIAI plastered my own smile not wanting to give anything away. It was clear the bastard only came to this wedding to warn me. I wondered what the hell he was talking about. “It would be nice if you told me what you are talking about.” He chuckled, but his grip on the glass tightened.“Don’t pret
NICK“Man, I think you have had enough now. You have been here since morning.” The bartender complained. I wanted to be numb, I didn’t want to think, and I didn’t want to feel anything. “Don’t worry, we are keeping an eye on him. give him whatever he wants.” Owen told the bartender. The man sighed.
OLIVIAWe were on the plane on our way to our honeymoon. I had just told Marcus everything his uncle said to me at the reception. He was currently mad and drinking too much whiskey. He was angry that his uncle said all those things, but I think he was angrier because I didn’t tell him sooner. He wan
NICKI stretched and turned, only for me to fall hard on the floor. I groaned still with my eyes close as I felt my head pounding like I was hit by a truck. “I knew I should have woken you up, look now you fell.” Who the fuck was that? I forced my eyes to open but the sun coming from the window blin
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
