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
OLIVIAI hoped Nick would come home early today. He hadn’t been around much since he started working with my best friend, Sandra. Things had been hectic at the office, but I still hoped today would be different, seeing how it was our fourth-year anniversary. I also had big news; I was finally pregna
OLIVIATwo Days Later“Lock her up, and don’t let her see the sun ever again. She doesn’t deserve it!” Nick barked at the New Village Town police. His eyes were cold as ice, filled with hatred. The officer roughly shoved me into the filthy, smelly cell before slamming the bars shut. I turned to loo
OLIVIAAs I stood in the cell, my thoughts went to my grandma. What would happen to her now that I was locked up? My chest tightened as I thought of her and her fragile health. Hearing about my arrest might kill her.Nick turned to the officer. “She’s to have no visitors and isn’t allowed outside. L
OLIVIAI sat in the dark jail cell, thinking about my baby and how he was going to survive in a place like this. I didn’t care about myself—they could keep me there for as long as they wanted—but my baby didn’t deserve this. He didn’t deserve to be born in a jail or suffer for my sins.It was only t
OLIVIANINE MONTHS LATERPrison had been hard, not just because I was pregnant but because of how I was treated. But I was grateful for one thing—Ethan kept his word. The guard he’d bribed continued to bring me vitamins and took care of me as promised.But when he wasn’t around, the others would con
NICKTwo years have passed since that woman humiliated me, since I found out she stole millions from me. How could I have been so stupid and blind? When Sandra told me that Olivia had a hand in what happened to my mother all those years ago—how they met, how Olivia “just happened” to save her from

ETHANI could tell the question caught him off guard, which was good, he had no time to ponder and come up with excuses as to why he did it. He poured himself a generous amount of alcohol and drank it in one go. “Why would you ask me that?” He couldn’t even look me in the eyes and that told me, he d
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
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
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
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
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
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
