LOGIN[ Stephen ]“Drive to the Gibson Square.” I instructed my driver.“Gibson Square? But it is in the opposite direction of your work place, Sir.” My driver interrogated me since I hardly went to the opposite side of the city where I had not much work.“I am meeting someone there.” I replied and he nodded.The car took the opposite turn from my workplace. Many thoughts along with some old and bitter memories kept reeling in my mind.It was still painful for me to remember the time which was one of the best and worst moments of my life.“We’re here, Sir.” My driver’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts.“Take the left turn and drive to the Safe Heaven Group’s head office. That’s our destination.” I said.In a minute, my destination was standing in front of me. The mixed emotion of bitterness and anguish filled me as I prepared myself to meet Tristan Quinn after many years.“Tell your boss that his old friend Stephan Hamilton is here to give him a visit.” I said to the girl on the reception
[ Olivia ]“Don’t you like the ravioli or the filling?”Stephen asked me with a frown when he noticed that I was barely eating from the plate that he served on the bed.“No, the food is really tasty.” I shook my head and contemplated whether to ask him about Tristan Quinn or drop it for the next day because we just had a disagreement and we promised each other to focus on our marriage.“Livy, I know this look. So, tell me what’s bothering you. We promised to talk out our problems, didn’t we?” He read it on my face.I exhaled deeply and ran my fingers through my hairs before dropping the spoon on the plate.“How do you and Tristan Quinn connected? Is there anything that I should know about you and him?” I asked him with carefully picked words.The frown was replaced by a blank expression and I knew that I just pressed an aching nerve.“How do you know him? Did he come across you or threatened you?” He asked me back, this time his tone laced in worry and an invisible fear.I shook my he
[ Olivia ]“Stephen, are you still upset with me?”I stroked my husband’s face tenderly whose eyes were staring blankly at the plain, white ceiling of our bedroom.I finally felt at ease when I was finally discharged and everyone planned a warm homecoming for us with our baby, I was a bit sad because Seraphina couldn’t be a part of our happiness.“No, it just a mild headache, nothing that concerns our argument at the hospital.” He replied, still not looking at me and it made me sigh.Perhaps, I didn’t consider his feelings when I said those words. It made me feel guilty because he’d never hurt me.“I am sorry, my love.” I cupped his face and made him look at me.My heart squeezed when I saw pain in those eyes. I caused it.“You don’t need to feel sorry, Livy. Whatever you suggested, I know you only have good intentions and wants everyone to live peacefully but it is something that is very difficult for me. You know that I am forced into it and I see no escape.”He confessed. I thought
[ Stephen ]“Hey, man. Why are you sitting with a rotten face?” Brandon asked placing a can of soft drink in front of me and plopped down on the vacant chair.“Olivia has gone mad.” I said.My mood turned even bitter as her words kept resonating in my brain.“I am sorry, but what did your wise woman do this time?” He raised his brow at me, an indication to tell him everything in detail.“She wants me to take full and independent custody of Vivienne’s child. How can she propose something very absurd because I can’t accept it. My wife is a kind woman but she’s being unrealistic here.” I said, feeling frustrated.“Well, I am confused here because neither you nor she is wrong on your parts. I mean the baby is still yours, you can’t run away from this reality but at the same time, your feelings also matter. It’s not easy for you to embrace any of it.” He said.“Whatever, I won’t accept it. I love my family and I can’t see it crumbling just because my wife wants to be a motherly figure.” I
[ Olivia ]“Wanna name her too?” I asked my husband who was staring at our tiny baby girl who was snuggled on my bare chest after I was done feeding her.His stare was full of adoration for his child.“Don’t you want to name her since I named Aurelia?” He asked me, looking a bit surprised.“I named Emma and I think you deserve more. I had lived the whole parenthood with Emma, with all her firsts. I want you to play the role for our twins.” I answered with a smile.He leaned closer, his eyes lingering on his daughter.“Seraphina means angel. She’s like an angel in our lives, our youngest and she’ll be the most pampered girl in our family.” He said stroking her small head with his fingers.“Seraphina, it’s a beautiful name. It has same initials as yours.” I smiled widely because I really loved the names that he gave to our daughters.“Emma, Aurelia and Seraphina Hamilton. I never felt this much proud before.” He stated with so much pride in his voice.“They’re indeed your girls, Mr. Ham
[ Stephen ]“How do you know Tristan Quinn?” I asked the sly woman who was sitting in front of me with a nonchalant expression.“I don’t know what are you talking about. Of course, I know him but not personally.” She gave me the answer I already predicted.“Do not dare to lie or you won’t be leaving this place. At least, until I put you on your right place, Miss Fisher.” I warned her through gritted teeth.With her, I was running thin on my patience.“Congratulations, I heard that you became father of your twin girls. I hope they’re healthy. Soon, their half brother will also come into this world. They’ll grow up together.” She smiled widely but it wasn’t positive but full of maliciousness.“Do not take their names from your filthy mouth, Fisher. Anwer my question. How do you know Tristan Quinn? Because if I find out from another source, you’ll regret it.” I gave her my last warning.“Why does Tristan Quinn’s name bother you this much? Do you share a history with him as well?” Her lip
