Chapter Seventy-twoThe DiscoveryOliviaIt had been a week since he left, he never came back to the company after that day, and it had been difficult beating the guilt that I was responsible for that, but what was more difficult was dealing with the kids and their troubles.Mia and Ava had made my life miserable and a hell since their dad left, they were always quick to speak and insult me no matter what I do.I didn’t even have the gut to speak back or I would be reduced to nothing. I was already the liar, witch, and the one who destroyed their family, I didn’t want to be given more names so I just kept quiet whenever they start their troubles.I sighed and resumed to the food I was cooking, knowing fully well that the kids won’t eat it, even though they did eat the food one time.I guessed they were really hungry that day that they didn’t have any other option than to eat the food I made, it was the only way out for them.So, I keep on making their own food to because I couldn’t tel

Chapter Seventy-fourPain And FearSebastianIt had been days since the party, over a week since Olivia did what she did, but I still couldn’t get it off my head—the pain of watching her, the fear of what might come.I couldn’t tell what was wrong with me, how I was feeling, but I knew something was wrong somewhere because I just couldn’t get my mind off all that had happened. Why did she have to go back on my rule? What was she thinking? Those were the questions that kept on running through my mind, and what now? What would happen now?I had kept Sophia’s memories safe and away for the last couple of years so she could rest in peace, even though her death should have been avoided. I was guilty, to be held responsible, and that was why I always did what I did—making sure she still had that place in my heart, that she was still loved by me, and no woman would be able to take her place, but Olivia.I shook my head, resentment growing once again. The more I thought about all that had hap

Chapter Sixty-sixSophia 2Olivia“I am so sorry for all I did, it is all mom and dads fault, they got me married without my consent, and..and now.” He held my leg, still crying his lungs out.It was as if he had kept the pain to himself for some time and was now pouring all of that out, I wondered what he might have been going through since all these days, I wondered what pain he must have been in since he left home, it must have been so hard on him.I understood that whatever way he must have been treating me was because of his condition and now it seemed to have even grown worse as he couldn’t even differentiate between me and his late wife.He stood up from the floor and walked to the kitchen, grabbing a knife, he walked back to me and placed the knife in my hand, “take it, Sophia, do whatever you want to me, kill me, stab me, do whatever you want, but just free me from this guilt, just tell me you’ve forgiven me, I can’t keep living with this guilt.” He cried out, falling to his

Chapter Seventy-eightI Love YouOliviaTime seemed to come to a standstill as he deepened the kiss, his hand moving to my waist, pulling me close to himself.My legs shook uncontrollably, and the shot to adrenaline kept pulsing through my veins, leaving my whole body paralyzed with my lips the only thing moving, sucking on his lips.He cupped my face, his fingers rubbing on my cheeks as I took in the tasty alcohol off his lips, it seemed as though that intoxicated me as I wanted more immediately, I wanted more of him, more of what he could give me, I didn’t want the moment to end.He finally unlocked our long locked lips and looked deep into my eyes, I could see the affection and longing in his eyes, even though I knew it was fake as he still thought I was his late wife, I still melt at that look, and my panties were already filled with my wetness.He closed his eyes and kissed my forehead softly, a affectionate kiss, claiming me as his.He pulled back and looked into my eyes once aga

Chapter EightyHe Is BackOliviaMy heart raced and pounded as I sat there in the car, the thoughts of what would have happened if he hadn’t let me go raced through my mind, I could have been killed by him.I looked back the house, wondering if I should go back to check up on him, if he was fine and okay.I wasn’t sure of what was wrong with me, but I was more worried about him when I should be worried about myself. That man almost took the breath out of me, he almost killed me and I couldn’t even stop thinking about him. I couldn’t stop bothering about his well being, if he was fine or not.As much as I wanted to know that, I knew really well that going back in there would be very dangerous, I couldn’t afford to have him choke and pin me down to the wall again.I dipped the key into the ignition and zoomed out of the compound, heading back home.I couldn’t do what I promised Sebastian’s parents that I’ll do, I couldn’t bring back their son, but I should even be grateful that I could
