NICKI threw Marcus’s phone away then kicked the tires of his car. I was so angry that I didn’t know what to do with myself. “You fucking moron!” I bellowed in anger. Marcus looked like he was going to faint, clutching on his chest as if it hurt. He could die for all I cared.It should hurt him like
OLIVIA“I am guessing that is your husband.” Xander said the moment he saw me. I was going to Ethan’s room to get Samuel for dinner and met him on the corridor. “It’s a long story.” He nodded, “He is very possessive of you, I see. As he should be, a woman like you is… I won’t cross the line.” I want
MARCUSI was stunned when a nurse came in and told me I had a call from my wife. Even Nick, who was still barely conscious, opened his eyes to glance at the nurse. I just shrugged and followed her out, not thinking for a second that it would actually be Olivia on the other end. She wanted her baby w
NICKOthers might have thought I was cruel, but I wasn’t. Marcus needed to understand that Olivia wouldn’t stay where she wasn’t loved or appreciated. I knew that better than anyone. I had lost her once, granted, the mistakes I made were huge and unforgivable. But now, Olivia wasn’t alone. She had L
MARCUSI could see the anger on Luke’s face, but it didn’t matter. A smile spread across my own face, though it wasn’t because of anything he’d done. It was simply because he was here. I didn’t care how intimidating he looked, glaring at me from across the room. I was happy he came. I was relieved m
NICKThe doctors spent the night monitoring the baby, running tests to ensure Marcus’s princess was ready for the journey. Luke was the first to leave the hospital, claiming he was tired and needed rest. But we all knew he was avoiding being around the baby. It was almost comical, considering he sti
OLIVIAMy dad called this morning to inform me that the doctors had approved the baby for travel. I was relieved that everything had gone well, until he mentioned that Nick would be returning with him. The news didn’t sit well with me, but then he explained that Nick wasn’t coming for me; he was com
MARCUSI thought the pain of my wife leaving me was the worst I would ever feel, but I was wrong. The real pain came from losing all of them at once, my wife, my son, and now my daughter. Even the one person who truly understood what I was going through was leaving. I was going to be left alone in m
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
