Olivia Barnett POV

I watched while Grandpa Jonathan’s car moved away, and even when it was out of my sight, I still stayed on the curb, staring into its previously occupied space.

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 46. Alone

    Olivia Barnett POVWe were all stunned, but Josh’s expression was one of pain. He looked like someone had stabbed him in the chest. His face looked ashen. Even his lips lacked color, so I thought he would pass out.Then, our eyes met.I saw betrayal in them.“You taught them to hate me?”My lips curled. Even now, he still thinks the worst of me.“Why would I do that, Mr. Sterling. My children deserve to be happy. For a mother like me, that is of utmost importance, and if that is the case, why then would I fill their hearts and minds with hate? What kind of a mother would sow hate in her children’s hearts and minds?”

    Olivia Barnett POV“Where are you taking my children?” I called out, aghast because he was already pulling away from me.The mother instinct kicked in, and I chased after him.Josh did not even flinch when he traced his steps toward our car with Leo and Ivy in his arms.It was as if he had been doing this sort of thing his entire life.He did not look awkward holding his children. What I noticed was that he looked gentle, as if the two people he was carrying in his arms were the most precious things in his entire life. I can’t explain it. There was so much care in the way he held them, as if he were afraid they might break.Despite that, he does not want to let them go. He l

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 44. They Are Mine

    Olivia Barnett POV“Olivia, my children are alive?” Josh’s voice croaked when he asked the question.My body froze. It was as if I was transported back in time, and I was the same Olivia from five years ago. Hopeless and helpless.I stared at Josh’s face. His question ran around my head in circles, wanting to be addressed, but I could not open my lips because hesitation gripped me hard.“Mommy?”Leo tugged at my hand. It was then that I realized I had been holding my breath, and my chest tightened, nearly bursting. I expelled air. Shakily, I took in oxygen, and my lung muscles started to loosen.I shut my eyes briefly to give myself time to take

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 43. My Children Are Alive?

    Olivia Barnett POVThere was a time in our lives when that acknowledgment mattered. That it would have made me feel proud and happy, but not anymore. Today, the reference reminded me so much of his duplicity and how he had tried to hurt my babies and me.I shook my head. I wanted to correct Josh for the false information. I was never his wife, not in the ways that mattered.I was just a tool. A placeholder and a surrogate.But to correct him would have given him a wrong impression. I do not want him to think that the past still has power over me. That the pat still affected me.Not anymore.Five years was a long time to erase the pain, but I did it! I successfully found my way back to myself, using the pain of Josh’s rejection to spur me to move forward with my life.I was a changed person. I was no longer the woman I was five years ago.Without a word, I looked Josh in the eye and nodded slowly at him before bidding him goodbye.But he followed me out. Josh Morgan Sterling looked f

    Olivia Barnett POVI ran my hand over my cheek to find it was wet, immediately wiping the tears away. My heart is hammering inside my chest.My babies could have been hurt!“Are you okay? Did you hurt somewhere?” I asked Leo in a frantic voice. Then, I asked the same question to Ivy and Zoe.I pulled away slowly to make sure that my precious little babies were safe.I checked their faces, their arms, and their legs. My eyes run a critical eye over their bodies, making sure they weren’t harmed from the incident. I even check every pore on their head for any injury.Call me crazy, but sometimes motherhood does that to you, especially when you have no partner to rely upon for your kids’ safety except yourself.“Nothing hurts, mommy,” Zoe reported. She lifted her head to beam at me. Her eyes formed crescent moons that made me exhale in relief.“Mommy got scared,” I admitted.Then I turned to Zeke to check if he was okay, but he was already on his phone calling the emergency dispatch to re
