Chapter 31
NICK
I couldn’t believe father was advising me to let my wife go, he was the one who taught me that you don’t give up on family, that you fight for your family and that you always try to make things right with the people you love. Yet, today, that same man was telling me to give up on my wife. The mother of my son and just let her go.
What a hypocrite he was being. Am sure he and mother had their issues as well. Did he give up? No. they were still together, raised me together as a family, why did he ask me to give up on mine? I did my wife wrong that I know but what was I supposed to do when all the evidence was against her?
I just wanted her to acknowledge her wrongdoing and learn from it. Sandra, was her friend, and she needed her to do right by her. It would have taken time for her to get over what she did, but she would have forgiven her eventually. I didn’t care about the money she stole; she was entitled to it as my wife.
I wish she would have asked for it instead of stealing it but that didn’t matter, material things would never matter more to me than she does. Olivia is my heart and always will be. Whatever she needed, all she had to do was
ask.
But then my wife, may God bless her, is a very stubborn woman, she doesn’t do anything she doesn’t believe in and for some reason, she did not think she did anything wrong that day when she pushed her friend and causing her to lose her baby.
I know that day she was angry that I went home with Sandra when it was our anniversary. I also acted cold as if I didn’t care about the effort she made and forgot about the anniversary. The truth was that I didn’t forget, just that I was still waiting for her gift to be delivered. Also, it didn’t help that Sandra had been showing me evidence of her stealing from me.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
That day she had just shown me messages between Olivia and her high. school boyfriend, where they made plans to be together. The man even asked her to make sure she never gets pregnant for me as he was the one. who deserved to father her children. My wife was eager to tell the man that she was taking birth control pills to prevent that.
I was angry that day and felt like a fool. I was going to talk to her about the whole thing, but she decided to go overboard and do what she did then refused to apologise for it. Sandra was distraught. I had never seen a woman who had just lost her baby before and the way she cried moved me.
My wife had done her wrong and was not willing to make it right. Then she told me that the baby was Ethan’s and that just broke me. The man was my best friend, and my wife caused his baby’s death. How was I going to look at him in the eyes again knowing that. I wanted to tell him so many times and apologize to him for it but Sandra didn’t want me to.
She had her reasons of course but I couldn’t just sit back and not punish Olivia for what she did. I wanted her to learn that doing wrong by others had consequences. I used the fact that she stole that money and sent her to jail for it since there was no evidence of her pushing Sandra.
I never knew that she was pregnant, and I was going lose her and my son in the process. That I was not only sending her to jail but my son too. Also, I could tell that something happened to her while she was in there. When she came out, she was no longer the woman I married.
She looked broken and I wanted answers as to what happened to her while she was in there. But she wont talk to me. She blames me for all of it and she was right to do so. I shouldn’t have sent her there. I should have found another way to punish her and now she was punishing me and not telling me where my son was and asking for a divorce.
It hurt to think that she was eager to go and be with that man when I was there ready to accept her back into my life. Why didn’t she love me? my phone rang bringing me out of my trace. I checked the caller, and it was Sandra.
I still didn’t want to talk to her and so. I cut the call then sent her a text telling her that I will be spending the night at my parent’s house. I laid there just thinking of ways to make my wife see that I still wanted her back, that I still loved her and wanted to be with her. That she had my heart and no one. else.
“Nick, are you still awake?” mom’s voice sounded on the other side of the door. I didn’t want to talk to her either. I had caused enough problems between her and father by asking for their help. I didn’t know what they found or how bad it was but with how she reacted to it. I can assume it was bad.
“It’s fine if you are sleeping, but if you are not. I want you to listen to me and hear me well my son.” I was curious to know and so I listened. “Olivia has been through a lot, and it is all because of you. she had your son in prison and a lot more that I can’t tell you about happened. She is broken Nick, and she blames you for all of it.”
What stuck with me from what she said was that she lost more in prison. that she could not tell me about. What was it, why was there no record of it and who was helping her conceal those records. Why didn’t she want me to know. “If you love her son, you will have to be patient. Give her time and let her come back to you on her own. Keep your distance but do things for her to show her that you are there for her and still love her.”
