OLIVIAAt the moment, I was the happiest woman in the world. They say True happiness is not something to search for, something that money can buy, or something that is fixed. I was sure whomever said those words was someone who lived in the olden days of my grandmother. Because in our day and age.N
OLIVIAI didn’t know what had come over my husband, but he was ruining our day. Since when did he care about what Nick said? He knew the kind of person he was, so, why was he entertaining him. or did Nick’s confession bother him so much that he would act that way? I didn’t know what to think.“Babe,
NICK“You shouldn’t have done that man; it was wrong, and you know it.” Ethan tried to talk some sense into me but there was nothing wrong with me. I was just fighting for what was mine and Marcus was doing me a favour acting like a jerk. Getting her back was going to be easier than I thought. All h
JENIFFERThe magazine didn’t do Olivia’s house any justice, the place was to die for. But let’s back up a little. First, her husband picked me up from the clinic. The car he was driving, it’s luxury. He was a gentleman too, treated me like precious cargo asking if I was hungry or needed anything bef
OLIVIAIt’s been six weeks since Jennifer moved in with us and we just went for our two-month scan, the baby seems fine and growing well. I was happy about that, but I was not happy about other things. I might be paranoid, but my grandma once told me never to dismiss my gut feeling and always listen
LUKE“What the hell have you guys been doing there for you not to notice that people have moved into our territory? Then you have the audacity to come here and tell me this shit. I don’t want to hear it, I want solutions. Tell me, boss we had this problem, and this is how we resolved it.” my phone r
NICKI left New Village and returned to Summer Strand, needing to take care of some things. I couldn’t stay in New Village for long, especially knowing Olivia was happy with that fool. But after some time, I realized I hadn’t checked on Sandra in a while and needed to see if the doctor had been foll
OLIVIA“hahaha..Marcus, stop it. I can’t take anymore” that was what welcomed me as I got home from work. I followed the laughter, and it led me to the lounge. My husband and the surrogate mother of my child busy tickling each other. Well, he was tickling her. I didn’t know what started the whole th
MARCUSI regret ever listening. I wish I had kept my distance, stayed out of it, and resisted the temptation to eavesdrop on Olivia’s therapy session. I only wanted to understand what that man, Xander, had done to her. I needed to know the depth of the damage he had inflicted upon my wife. Never in
LUKEI stood outside, listening to Nick as he worked on breaking Xander down. The boy was good, too good for my liking. I never intended for those boys to be involved in my line of work. Keeping Nick behind was never meant to have him do this, it was meant to keep him away from Olivia. Being around
NICK“Do your worst, Nick,” Xander sneered, blood dribbling from the corner of his mouth as he spat it onto the floor at my feet. “See now? You people shot me, and I haven’t been able to contact my guys. The alert is out. It’s no longer just about Olivia. Now, your whole circle is fair game.”I coul
MARCUS“Olivia, you’re still not well,” I said, my voice firm but laced with concern. “And yet, you want to know about that? I’m not telling you anything right now. Recover first if you want to be included. Until then, I’m not saying a word.”I could feel my frustration rising. We had just gotten ho
OLIVIABy the time we landed back at New Village, Luke’s men were already waiting for us at the airport. The moment we arrived, Marcus spoke with them outside the car, while I settled inside with the kids. My baby girl was still fast asleep in my arms, and her brother had just started to stir as the
Nick“Nick, calm down. There was nothing you were going to do there. You promised not to interfere with her anymore. She left with her husband and kids to fix herself, to fix her marriage. You don’t belong there.”I stopped, the words hitting me like a slap. I turned to glare at him, fury bubbling i
MARCUS“Home. I want to go home.”Those were the first words Olivia spoke when she finally woke up. The urgency and exhaustion in her voice were clear, and it broke something in me to hear it. Home. The place where she could feel safe again, where she could begin to heal. I didn’t hesitate for a sec
OLIVIAI couldn’t tell how long I had been unconscious or why I had lost consciousness in the first place. The confusion lingered in my mind, but when I finally opened my eyes, everything shifted. There, sitting quietly beside me, was Marcus, his head resting on the edge of my bed.His presence felt
MARCUSI trembled with fury as I watched my wife in such a state. The sight of her, broken and trembling, filled me with a rage that burned so intensely, I could barely contain it. The urge to scream, to shout, to lash out at everything and everyone was overwhelming. I wanted to destroy everything,
