NICK


    The doctors checked on father, and they said it was only shock. That he <b>was </b>going to be alright, but they wanted to keep him overnight for observation. Since it was alreadyte, I decided it was a good idea to go check on Olivia. I had gotten used to sleeping next to my wife again, it gave me peace being with her.


    Smelling her scent, listening to her heart <b>beating </b>and just bearing her breathing and knowing she was alive gave me peace in the past two weeks. After sending Given home went up to the third floor. When I got close to her door, I could hear voices. It was Marcus, I could feel my anger rising, I didn’t like the man with her.


    I knew he wanted her, and she was interested in him too. Dn’t she know that she was mine, that she belonged to me? I understood her anger, but I was not going to tolerate her behaviour of <b>entertaining </b>other men when I was there waiting for her. No one could ever be with <b>Olivia </b>but me.


    I walked into the room, Marcus was standing by her bedside, and I pulled the chair and sat on the corner then picked up a magazine <b>and </b>started flipping through it. I knew they had their eyes on me, but I was not going to look at them. I also knew that she didn’t <b>want </b>me there but how was I going to get her back if I kept my distance?


    She needed to know that I was there and willing to work things out. Now that I knew that Sandra and her sister nned on separating us, I knew now more than ever that needed to get my wife back. I did her wrong and I wanted to make It up to her. she needed to know how sorry was for everything that I did.


    “Nick.” Marcus called my name, but I ignored him. I could see now that the man thought he could control me, but nobody controlled Nick Jones. “Nick!” I lifted my <b>head </b>to look at him. “What are you doing?” I went back to the magazine as if he didn’t say anything “<b>Nick</b>, we need to talk.” He went over to the door, but I did not move from where I was seating.


    “Come on, man.” I lifted my head again. “You and I have talked enough. <b>Now </b><b>we </b>have nothing to talk about.” I nced at Olivia, and she looked pale. I wanted to ask if she was alright, but I knew she did not want to talk to me. so, I stood and went out. Marcus followed me, probably thinking that I was ready to talk to him.


    The moron! I walked away going to look for a doctor. “Nick!” I turned fast and he almost bumped into me. “Stop shouting my name in this damned hospital and I am getting tired of you telling me what to do to protect my wife. Why don’t you start minding your own business from now on and leave me the fuck alone!”


    We stood there ring at each other. “You know, if I didn’t care about Olivia and she was still your wife. I would back off as you said but I can’t because she is more than just my business partner. She is the woman I care about, and I will do anything to protect her. so, go on and y bodyguard while I go out there and find the person who is working with your sister and stop him before he does something else.”


    He must have thought I didn’t know who the person was but what I had encountered a couple of hours


    had a feeling that the guy Luke, was the one working with Faren. The question now was why he wanted to harm my wife and what was his rtionship with my parents.


    “You already know who it is, don’t you?” I turned around and left him standing there without answering him. I did not answer to him. I saw a nurse and stopped her. “Please find a doctor, my wife seems to be in pain.” The nurse nodded then hurried to the opposite direction.


    I went back and before I entered, I heard Olivia say. “I don’t want him here Marcus, what does he want <b>anyway</b>?” my heart sank but if I wanted her back, then I was going to have to endure all of that. so, I opened the door and walked in before Marcus could respond.


    I went back to sit on the chair in the corner. “I have a few things to take care of at the office<b>, </b>I wille in and check on youter on. Do you want me to bring you something?” she shook her head and Marcus left. I sat there for a while without saying anything. The nurse came in and gave her meds then went out again.


    “I am sorry, Olivia, for everything I did to you. I should have believed you and I should have never sent you to prison. Please, find it in <b>your </b>heart to forgive me, my heart. She said nothing, instead she turned to the other side for me not to see her face. It hurt, but I was willing to take li until she forgave me.


    “I found out that Sandra was <b>never </b>pregnant.” She turned so fast ring at me. the anger in her eyes could not be mistaken. She was even shaking. “Get out,” I looked at her but didn’t move. “Get out! Get the hell out of here Nick, I never want to see you again. Get out!” she screamed at me.


    I had never seen her that angry before, it <b>shocked </b>me. I stood up and went closer to her bed, but she screamed causing me to stop in my tracks. “Aaah!”


    “Olivia?”


    “Don’t get any closer, I want you out of this room. You have done enough to me, and I want you out. I don’t care what you found out because none of it will change anything Also, I will not forgive you for this just because you you didn’t. <b>now </b>know that Sandra is not who you thought she was. I begged you to believe me, to look Into it but please leave and nevere back. I hate you.”


    My chest tightened and I struggled to breathe. My eyes locked on hers and all I could see were zing mes of anger and hatred. She meant it, she hated me, my mind went nk, and my eyes fogged then I was out.
