NICKSix days had passed, and this was the seventh day. The last day of torture for Xander. I tortured him for the exact number of days he kept Olivia in that catacomb. Made him have a taste of his own medicine. It seemed my dear Xander only knew how to dish it out but not take it.I tried wiping th
OLIVIAI didn’t know if I could trust Nick, not after what I heard. The way they told me about Sandra being dead and showed no emotion and yet he killed her. It told me he could not be trusted. If he could go on with his life as if nothing happened after killing Sandra it meant he could lie about Xa
MARCUSThe moment between Olivia and Luke touched me. I thought I was caring for my wife well enough. I thought I knew what she needed, but seeing her with Luke like that made me realize that I had missed some things. Like the relationship she should have had with her father.Luke was the only famil
OLIVIAI thought my husband would be offended and wouldn’t want to accept the gift from my father. I thought that his pride as man would be bruised, but that was far from the truth, Marcus surprised me and accepted. I offered him a warm smile; it seemed as if we were becoming more like a real family
ETHANWhen I got outside, Nick was leaning against his car looking up in the sky as if he was a wolf about to howl to the moon. The door closing him alerted him of my presence. He looked over at me then opened the backseat, throwing his jacket in. “Am fine, Ethan, go back.” He got into the car and d
OLIVIAI couldn’t believe it when I got a call from Ethan telling me that Lupita was awake. That Nick woke her up. I had so many questions but no time to ask them. I wanted to see for myself that she was awake and doing well. My dad and I rushed to the hospital leaving my husband with the kids.Upon
MARCUS“What can I do?” I asked feeling helpless. My wife was blaming herself for what was happening to Lupita’s grandmother. I understood why but I blamed Xander. He went and used innocent people in his game and those were the results. Grandma was old and sick already. Top that with whatever Xander
NICKIt’s been two months since Lupita’s grandmother passed and I had been spending a lot of time with her. At first, it was my way in, to get close to Olivia. However, Olivia did not give me the chance to, she stuck to her guns, told me to call when I wanted to visit Samuel, and I must take him awa
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
