XANDERI had thought it would take longer for my plan to unfold, that I would have to exert more effort to see any real results. But I quickly realized that Olivia wasn’t the patient, calculated type. She was impulsive, more than I had anticipated. Being the good girl she was, she didn’t make me wai
Time was slipping away, and I couldn’t afford any more distractions. But for now, I let him continue, savouring the moment. When he eventually realized that Olivia wasn’t there, it would be too late for him. By then, my plan would already be in motion, and nothing would be able to stop me.Ethan’s s
NICKI paced the room, the steady rhythm of my footsteps doing little to quell the growing anxiety in my chest. Each minute that passed felt like an eternity. I kept glancing at the door, hoping to see Ethan walking in, Olivia by his side. But the minutes dragged on, and no one came.It all started
My knees buckled under me, the shock of what I was seeing hitting me like a physical blow. "No," I whispered, the word barely escaping my lips. "What happened, Ethan? Where is she?"He didn’t speak immediately. His gaze dropped to the floor, as though he couldn’t bear to meet my eyes. When he did sp
MARCUSTwo days. It had been two days since I last heard from the guys, and it felt like an eternity. The last time we spoke, Nick had called me with a strange message: go pick up Lupita and Grandma at the airport. He mentioned something about them being asleep, but the way he said it, the way he av
OLIVIAI woke up to a freezing chill creeping through my body, my back pressed against something cold, almost like I was lying in a freezer. My eyes fluttered open, but the dim light around me made it hard to make out anything clearly. As my senses returned, I realized something else, the absence of
My heart dropped into my stomach. His words sent a chill deeper than the cold that already gripped me. I had no idea what he was planning, what horrors awaited me next. But one thing was clear, he wasn’t done with me yet.Xander stepped further into the room, his eyes glinting with an unsettling mix
OLIVIAA tremor ran through my body as I saw him coming closer, his hand gripping another needle. I had come to fear both needles and Xander, for they had been the instruments that brought me to this terrifying place. The thought of either one made my skin crawl. My muscles, once eager to run, now f
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
