ETHANThe drive back was a silent one, I couldn’t get the picture of Xander like that out of my head. I knew it was going to haunt me for a very long time. I thought Luke was the one who did that, but I was wrong. “How could you allow him to do something like that?” Luke gave me a side glance then s
OLIVIAMy dad and Ethan came in very late looking drunk. It was around ten at night when they came acting all suspicious, asking to talk to Marcus in private. I was dying of curiosity, but I held back, each time I got curious about their things, I ended up getting hurt. Instead of insisting they let
MARCUS“Just how bad is it that Ethan would be like this?” I failed to understand the severity of the situation or even try to grasp it, I thought Ethan was exaggerating, it couldn’t have been that bad. “Then why don’t you go there and see for yourself Marcus. Maybe then you will stop judging me and
OLIVIAI was going to get myself a glass of water when I overheard the conversation between Lupita and the guys. Well, it wasn’t really a conversation, more like she was reprimanding them. which was quite shocking. She was like a different person altogether, standing there all confident and giving t
OLIVIAI jumped back, tripped on the blanket, and landed with my ass on the tiled floor. I glanced at Ethan, and he was now snoring softly. What a piece of shit! leaving me alone in a mess he created, fuck Ethan!“It’s not what you think.” What was he thinking, jeez my own father would think I was a
OLIVIAAs I sat there not knowing what to do, I began to think that Luke was right about not telling Marcus anything. Anyway, I didn’t tell him anything, he found out on his own and was now angry. I didn’t know who his anger was directed. It was not like I did anything wrong; Ethan was the one who k
MARCUSI was coming from the cold storage to get some bacon when I heard Ethan talking to my wife. I fumed in anger and my hands curled into fists. He had no shame and no remorse for what he did. He didn’t regret a thing. When I spoke to him, he apologized saying he didn’t mean to offend me. Even th
NICK“Why would you do something so selfish!” He raised an eyebrow even tilted his head to the side slightly, he had this questioning looking at if he had a deep question for me to answer. “Look who’s talking, you are calling me selfish?” He chuckled, went around the counter, and poured himself a dr
LUKEThe Don used to experiment on some of our men, those he deemed strong and capable. He got that thing from Russia, and it was bad. It turned the men into unfeeling animals, no feelings, not emotions, they were not that far off them robots.The way Nick was behaving reminded me of those men, whic
LUKE“What the fuck did you say?” I paced feeling hot suddenly, what in the devil’s name was Nick thinking. “Fuck!” I cursed under my breathe. “He told us not to open on peak at the door no matter what we hear, boss, he might be doing the same thing he did in the island.” Bloody hell!I cut the call
NICKLupita was right, Olivia didn’t want Xander to be killed. She was too good for that, no matter what Xander did to her, that good heart of hers would not allow her to wish death upon him. Luke knew that every well. Why did I believe him when he said he would take care of it, did he honestly thin
LUPITAWho the hell did she think she was? Now I understood why Sandra hated her guts. Olivia thought she was better than everyone and acted like she was a saint. Those men around her made her feel entitled like a fairy princess. She always acted like a good person, but she wasn’t, it was all an act
OLIVIALupita walked away, just when I let out a breath, my dad appeared out of nowhere. “You gave me a fright.” I was still traumatized by what happened at our previous home. People appearing out of nowhere still scared me.“Am sorry.” I took Lilly from him; my baby had grown but I hated that she
OLIVIA“You chased him away, didn’t you?” I turned to find Lupita standing behind me looking angry. It made me wonder if she was angry with me or something happened before she went there. “No, he decided to leave.” She scoffed as if she didn’t believe a word I said.“It’s because you never wanted hi
NICKI stopped in front of Olivia’s mansion; it was breathtakingly beautiful. I was jealous, Luke did well, and the place was secured. I got out of the car and was met with a drunk Ethan and Luke. “Are we celebrating already?” Luke just shook his head and focused on the doll in his arms.I scanned t
OLIVIAI hated my timing, I always had to appear at the time when people were talking about something I shouldn’t hear. Just like now, I shouldn’t have heard anything about Nick being a psychopath as they believed. Now since he is Samuel’s father, I needed to get involved with him again.Try to figu
LUKEMy mind went blank, and I just stared at Ethan. We both agreed to get Nick help, and he was the one who was insisting on we do that. I didn’t know what changed between then and now. could they have met, and Nick said something to make his best friend think he was a psychopath?“Luke, please bel
