POV tyler mitchel"Olivia?" I hold her, resting her head on my lap. "Sweetheart, wake up!""What's wrong with her, Dad?" Louis asks, his face filled with concern."I don't know, Lou... Olivia!" I shake her, trying to wake her up, but Olivia's body is limp.She stirs and brings her hand to her head, seeming to recognize what has happened."Lou, get a glass of water with salt for your sister, quickly," he obeys, rushing to the kitchen."Olivia," I call to keep her awake. "Don't close your eyes.""What... no, no, no." She gets up, agitated, scratching her head and looking around."Olivia, calm down," I ask, stroking her head."We need to go," she starts speaking. "He... he's with my mom and Peter."I stare at her."Sweetheart, what are you talking about?" I ask, confused."Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God."She is agitated, can't even breathe properly, looking around the house trying to focus.I hold her arms and make her look me in the eyes."Sweetheart," I call her attention. "Look at m
Olivia's POVI had no choice; I called Alana. The house was a real fortress. No one could leave. But I was sure she would manage to get in and take me to where my father had gone. Anthony called me, saying the calls received on Ethan's number were from Atlanta, from a prison. If my mom isn't here, she must be there. After all, why would Ethan call there so many times if not for this reason? I paced back and forth, trying to think about what to do. I definitely need to go where my father went. It's Peter. It's hard to explain; just the thought that something bad might happen to him makes my chest feel tight. I like him. I like him too much to bear something bad happening to him."Stop pacing like that, Olivia, I'm getting dizzy.""Then don't look, Louis.""What a nervous wreck."If only he knew. I tried to call David, but he had disappeared too. When we need them, nobody shows up."Who are you waiting for?" he asks."No one," I sigh.I hope Alana brings a bodyguard to serve as a babysi
Olivia's POVIt was a few hours' drive to Atlanta, Alana was driving fast, and some reinforcement cars were following us."What's the plan?" I ask, finally managing to say something."I don't have a plan," she says nervously."How do you not have a plan?""Olivia... let the elders handle these matters."I fell silent. After so much, I couldn't have much hope. Deep down, my subconscious told me that something bad would probably happen, and I wouldn't be able to see my mother. I was also worried about Peter. If something happened to him, I knew it would be my fault. Ethan couldn't get to me and took him."He's not going to kill your boyfriend," Alana grumbles.Does this woman also read minds?"What?" I ask confused."He's not going to kill the little prince. Ethan kept your mother alive for ten years; he's not the type to kill. Your father may not be able to get him back today, but... he won't die.""You can't assert that. This man left a mother without her children for ten years and ma
Tyler Mitchell POVWe finally arrived at the damn place. Justin came up behind us with Jade, her hands tied and a psychopathic smile on her face. We waited for a long time. Almost twelve hours, but that was Ethan's game. He wanted to unsettle us before starting. I was worried about Olivia. She's the most affected by all of this. I'm her father, I have to protect her."Where is he?" Luke starts scanning the place impatiently. It was the sixth time he had asked."Are you worrying me?" Ethan appears out of nowhere, looking straight at Jade, a concerned look on his face. He really cared about her. I can recognize that look from a mile away."Let go of her, Justin!" he says angrily, wiping the sinister smile off her face."As you wish." Justin throws Jade to the ground, she winces in pain and curses at him. Ethan approaches, but I stop him."Where's Peter?" I stand in front of him."Where's Lucca?" he asks."Why do you want Josh's son so badly?" I inquire.A few guys show up holding Peter
POV EMILY"She has to be here."I had heard that phrase before, several times. Ethan spared no effort in looking for me; I think five of his men had come here in just one week. I'm thankful I managed to hide every time.My home. It was abandoned now. But this would be the only place in the world where I could feel safe, where all the best memories of my life were.I tried to leave, tried to go back to my family, but I could barely speak to anyone on the street, let alone return to Tyler and talk to my children."We've searched everywhere, she's not here," another voice sounded, tinged with sadness.I knew that voice."From what I know about her, I can assure you she's here, yes. This place is full of emotions that she'll need to find courage."I remained hidden. That's exactly what I was doing. Trying to find courage.There were two women, I could tell. One of them had a younger voice, I was almost certain I had heard it somewhere before.I heard a sob and then silence, broken only by
POV EMILYI couldn't sleep; I hadn't seen Tyler yet. Olivia hadn't left my side since we reunited. I was so happy. But I felt insecure. I'd been gone for ten years and didn't know how to handle my own daughter. Not seeing Tyler made me even more anxious. It was a whirlwind of emotions. Despite the shower I took and the new clothes, I wasn't the same young, beautiful woman he married. What if he doesn't want me anymore? I couldn't bear to lose my family, not now that I've just regained them. And my son, Louis. He doesn't even know me. What will this be like for him? I can't just think about myself; I can't be selfish. But I also can't miss out on any more moments of my life when they're with me. And as if the rollercoaster of emotions wasn't enough, there was still a twin sister I never knew existed who helped Olivia in the search for me but hadn't yet told Tyler. Why hide from him? I kept thinking about so many things that I didn't even notice the hours passing. I was eager to see the
POV Emily**Flashback On**"I'm tired, Tyler," I complain."The doctor clearly said you can't go a day without exercising," he persists."He said exercises, not a marathon," I stop and place my hands on my knees.He turns around instantly with a concerned look."What's wrong? Are you feeling something?" he asks."Relax, your son doesn't want to come out yet," I laugh."Haha, funny. Let's go already, stop fussing. Olivia must be driving Justin crazy."I completely ignore what he says and feel like I'm on a fallen tree trunk.Tyler scans my eyes, takes the water bottle from the backpack, and hands it to me already open. I drink the water quickly and sigh when I finish. Tyler sits beside me and strokes my belly."Come on, daddy wants to teach you a bunch of things.""Let Olivia hear that, she'll get jealous," I tease."Takes after her mom.""Atta boy."He smiles and kisses me."I don't know how to thank you for giving me everything I have, for giving me a family.""Just say you love me."
Ethan's POV"How did you manage to lose that boy, Ethan?" Jade shouts, stressed."Oh, I don't know. The same way you managed to lose our son inside our own house," I throw at her."You have to figure out soon who's behind all this, we already know it's not Tyler or his friends.""And you think I'm not trying to do that? It's all I've been doing, even giving up Emily I did, all to find out who's been messing with our family."I leave the room slamming the door.As expected, she wouldn't let this argument end like this, I hear the door open and her heavy steps coming towards me."Ethan!"I turn around."What do you want me to do? What could I do, I did it as quickly as possible. I made those idiots think the lovely Peter is dead.""Don't forget the person behind all this seems to be playing for Mitchell's team, even handed Lucca over to Josh. What makes you think they won't do it again?""I don't think otherwise, I think this bastard will obviously do that," I slump onto the couch."May
