Chapter 21
I was busy showing the guys where to hang a painting in the PROSITION AIDE WHEen Nick came in looking like he was ready to murder someone. “Everyone out, now! The guys scattered leaving me standing by the reception desk wondering what the hell got into
The man to act like that.
esowy waked towards me with his eyes locked on me like I was his prey. The look in his eyes got me thinking back to prison, to how Those animas in there used to look at me when they were about the reat the hell out of me.
I shuddered. He stood a foot away from me still not saying anything but looking at me. I didn’t back down either, prison taught me to face bulles head on even when I knew I was out matched and
outnumbered. “Do we have a child together.” My heart grew cold, and I could feel my hands shaking a little.
But didn’t avert my gaze from him knew he found out something, Our didn’t know what I bailed my hands into fists with my nails dipping in the palm of my hands. The pain stopped the shaking, and I looked him dead in the eyes. “You like torturing me, don’t you?”
He closed that distance faster than could blink. “Answer the question Diwa, do we have a child! he yelled causing me to jump a Title But looked him dead in the eyes and answered. “What more Do you want from me Nok, was sending me to jail not enough for HOLY NOW YOU COome here yelling my place of business about things koow nothing abou…”
toped my poker face was as good as my words, because I could afford for Nick to find out about Samuel. He broke eye contact
at
and started pacing. I let out a breath I was holding, “I saw Ethan
today in Summer Strand. He was with a boy about a year and mË
months old.”NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
My heart was booming in my chest when I heard that. It was so loud. that I could hear it in my ears. “Say something!” he yelled once more. causing me to cringe. “Stop yelling! So, you saw Ethan with the boy, what does that have anything to do with me, why are you yelling at me and not your friend?”
His nostrils flared indicating how angry he was, but I was not about. to tell Nick anything about my son. When I wanted to tell him about my pregnancy, he was busy with my friend and even sent me to jail before I could do it. Now he comes here acting like he had the right. to know about him, no. it didn’t work like that.
“Olivia, that child looks exactly like me. do you see this birthmark on my eyebrow? He has the same one in the same place. He has my eyes, my nose, hell! he even has some of your features. Tell me the truth Olivia, I beg of you. did you have a child I don’t know
w about?”
I chuckled mockingly, the audacity the man had to ask me that. “Why don’t you ask your buddies back at the prison if I had a child. You are their boss, right? So, why don’t you ask them instead of coming here yelling about nonsense and wasting my time.”
Dear Lord, Nick was going to find out about Samuel. If he started digging, then he would know that I had a child back then. He glared at me, and I glared right back. As much as he was angry, I was angry too. I would rather die than have my son know him as his father. He and I deserve better than what Nick Jones has to offer.
“I swear to you Olivia, if I find out that you are lying to me I will…”
“You will what Nick, huh? What will you do, send me to prison again?”
I didn’t care what he had in store for me, but I would be damned if I let him take my son. He was all I had, and Nick was not getting him. Over my dead body! “Ethan…” he chuckled shaking his head in disbelief. “Ethan said that the boy was his son and the boy called him his father. But he never told me anything about having a child.”
“What does that have to do with me? or you just like pinning everything in the world on me because I am the evil Olivia who got your beloved Sandra to lose her baby. Now because Ethan didn’t tell you about his son, Olivia the devil spawn is to blame!”
I could see the doubt in his eyes when I said that. it was like he thought of something then he sighed. He looked hurt and sad. I have never seen Nick like that but before I could even feel sorry for him. those emotions were gone as fast as they came.

It was like I was the one seeing things. “You know what, I wasted your time. But if there is something going on here, I will find out, one way or another I will know what you and Ethan are hiding

and when I do…”
I cut him short, I hated being threatened by him. I hated that he was so inconsiderate towards me.
“Tell me, what more do you want. Was it not enough that I didn’t
even get to say goodbye to her, moving Sandra into my house, or me losing my…”
