Chapter 38
NICK
“Nick look, isn’t that Olivia?” I turned to look; I didn’t need to be told twice that was my wife I was seeing. Even with her back on me, I could tell it was her and her laughter confirmed it. I would recognize that laugh anywhere, the kind that made my world stand still and everything in it disappear then it would just be she and I. with her laughing like that.
“Oh, my God! She is with Marcus Walker, her high school boyfriend and your friend. Dear Lord, we will never find good men and get married because Olivia has all of them wrapped around her little finger.” My blood boiled when Sandra made that comment. I wasn’t going to go there but thinking about it, it made me angry.
I walked there and with each step I took. I could feel my anger rising. I stood behind her with that Marcus guy facing me and Ethen facing the other way doing God knows what. “So, is this what you do?” she said nothing, didn’t even turn to look at me. “If it isn’t Nicky boy, it’s nice to finally meet you.”
I glared at him, who the hell was he to disrespect me like that. Calling me a boy in front of my wife, what the hell was he playing at. “I don’t know you and I would appreciate it if you never called me a boy again.” I warned with my voice low and stern. He laughed throwing his head back, mocking me.
I was about to say something when Ethan turned, and I saw my son in his arms. I froze and looked at him. he looked just like me. “Mama, take Sameul.” He said to Olivia with his arms stretched out for her to take him. Now it was confirmed, Olivia had my child while in prison. No wonder she hated me so much.
I did more than just send her to prison, I sent our son there too. “Impossible! How can you have a child, when did you have him?” Sandra questioned. Olivia paid her no mind and so did I. My eyes were on my son. When did she bring him back?
“Don’t come and say Nick is the father because we both know you Olivia and your whoring ways and…”
“Enough! Not in front of my son.” Both she and Olivia looked at me shocked. Did she really lose faith in me, did she think I would side with someone who is talking ill about my son? “Leave.” I ordered Sandra. “But Nick, we came here to do shopping, and we have not….
“I said, leave.” She looked hurt but she said nothing turning around and leaving. “Interesting.” Said Marcas and I glared at him. “Oh, don’t glare at me like that. I am just wondering where that protectiveness was when you sent her to jail. I mean from what I heard that woman’s word was law to you.”
This Marcas guy was pissing me off. “Nick, this is not the time.” Ethan said and he just pissed me off even more. “You may entertain my wife’s whoring in front of my son, but I will not!” both men glared at me. what the hell did Olivia give them to make them give her their blind loyalty.
It was like she could do no wrong in their eyes. “Am taking my son,” said Olivia standing up with Samuel in her arms. Before walking away, she looked at me with so much disappointment and spoke. “I was going to bring him to you to meet him tomorrow, but I don’t think that is a good Idea. I don’t want my son in the presence of someone who is comfortable calling his mother names.”
She then turned and walked away. I clenched my fists angry at myself for overreacting. I should have walked away; Olivia was coming around, and I ruined it. Fuck! “Are you happy now Nick, huh?” I glared at my friend; he should have stopped me sooner before I made a fool of myself.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
“Your son is still going to continue calling me dad if you continue this way. I regret telling Olivia to bring him back. You don’t deserve to be his father.” He followed Olivia leaving me with that guy who thought he could compete with me for my wife’s affection. He had a satisfied smirk on his face as if he was pleased to see me making a fool of myself.
“You my friend, are making it easy for me to take your wife. Well, technically, she is no longer your wife. You are divorced. So, I can take her and treat her better than you ever did.” The man was trying my patience. “I am not going to play your game. Just because you managed to dazzle her with money and resources for her business doesn’t mean you can have her.”
He laughed standing up. “We will see about that Nicky boy, remember, Olivia was mine first and we never broke up. You on the other hand are just the ex- husband her grandmother and your mother chose for her. you were never her choice. But I was. Think about that?”
He said then walked away following the others. I was so pissed that I kicked the table they were sitting on. His words ringing in my head. “You were never her choice.” I leaned against the wall of the restaurant they were sitting on, feeling like I couldn’t breathe..
“Boss, are you alright?” asked Given. “Have someone follow them. He must make sure to keep my son safe but to do it from a distance. I need him to give me reports about everything that happens to him.” I said without opening my eyes and trying to regulate my heartrate.
“I will do it myself boss, the young prince deserves only the best.” I nodded; he was right. He was the best. Having found new courage and determination. I opened my eyes. I would be damned if I lost my wife a second time.
I lost her the first time, and it was my fault but now she was back and she had my son. I need them in my life. I fished my phone out of my pocket and dialled a number I have not dialled in a very long time. “Sir?” came a voice I had forgotten and never thought I would be so glad to hear. “You know what has been happening, correct?”
“Yes, sir.” That is what I liked about him always well informed. “I want it done without hurting my wife.”
