Chapter 12
NICK
Sandra must have been worried sick when I didn’t come home yesterday. I left going to the police station to sign the release. documents since I was forced to drop the charges by my parents. She must have thought that I saw Olivia and wanted her back. Which I did, but it was the way she looked that got me distraught.
She was not the Olivia I knew, and I wanted to know what happened in there. I thought going out drinking was going to make me forget the way she was, but it made it worse. The first day I drank and slept in my car then went back at it again until Ethan was called to come pick me up.
I was angry with him too, he was my best friend, we grew up together. How can he not know that he got drunk and got Sandra pregnant? Now since the baby was no longer there because of my wife, Sandra didn’t want Ethan to know about that night.
Olivia should have been there for her, supported her but instead she got jealous of the time Sandra, and I spent together working and instead of supporting her. She pushed her causing her to lose the baby. I wanted to tell Ethan about it so badly, but Sandra made me
promise not to.
She said it was too painful to keep thinking and talking about it. That maybe Ethan didn’t even remember the night they spent together since they were both so drunk and she woke up early that morning. and rushed to work before Ethan woke up. Also, Ethan never brought up that night with Sandra or mentioned it to me.
Which told me that he didn’t remember thing about it.
Sandra is a woman and is afraid that Ethan would think she was trying to trap him and ruin his reputation or to get somet out of him. Also, because the baby was no longer there. It woula nave been difficult to prove what she said happed. I know Ethan and he was not the kind of man you accuse of something without proof. We were alike that way.
So, I had no choice but to take care of Sandra. Not for me but for the two most important people in life, to make up for what they did. I could understand Ethan was drunk and didn’t remember that night with Sandra. But my wife, Olivia knew what she was doing and still refused to apologize. That was what got me angry more than the money she stole.
More than her infidelity even. I was willing to look past that and work on our marriage because I love her. To have a family with her but. she was so damn stubborn. I had to appease Sandra too, to somehow make it up to her for everything they put her through.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think they would mistreat her int prison; she was my wife, and they should have known better. It hurt seeing her that way and it doesn’t help that I never went back to see
her after I sent her there.
It’s just that more and more things kept coming up. How she was still seeing her high school boyfriend, Sandra showed me pictures of them together. Pictures she herself sent to her. She showed me her conversations about how she was planning on stealing enough money from me then divorce me and leave with him.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
That was why I never asked her for the divorce, I thought being in jail was going to humble her and come back to apologize and make things right with me. especially because that boyfriend of hers didn’t even go to see her in jail. Not once did he go there asking to see her.
I gave the order for her not to have visitors because I didn’t want her seeing him, but he never showed. The only person Olivia saw in the past two years was me, Sandra and Ethan the day after she was arrested.
I tried looking for the man and confronting him for sneaking around with my wife. But Sandra spoke some sense into me, told me that it would only degrade me talking to him and that I was better than that. she was right, if I had confronted him, he would have thought that he was in the same level as me.
But he was far from it, I wanted to show him how much power I have, what I could do to him if he crossed me. But it was like he disappeared into thin air the moment Olivia got arrested and took the money with him. That was why I never found it. I will admit that I didn’t look hard enough for it as well.
I figured it would teach my wife a lesson, show her that I was the only man for her, the only one she could trust, the only one who could provide for her the way she deserved and make her happy. Thinking about all that made me drink even more.
I wanted to blackout if possible. I could not keep thinking about the secret I was keeping from my friend about his child, and I could not keep thinking about how my wife looked when she got out of there.
For the life of me I could not think about how proud and stubborn she was. All I wanted was an apology from her then we could move with our lives. Sandra was her best friend, and she would forgive her in a heartbeat if she humbled herself in front of her.
But no, Olivia can not be told what to do. Even in her current situation, the woman I inarried will not come begging even though she was in the wrong. With the way I drank, I barely remember what happened after Ethan got to the bar.
I just hope I didn’t drink myself so much that I spilled my guts to Ethan and told him about what happened between him, Sandra and his baby.
