Olivia Barnett POV

We 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.

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 49. Hug and Kiss

    Olivia Barnett POVMy chest grew heavy with a weight that only a mother’s pain can know when she realized that there is a possibility that her children could be taken away from her, and she can’t do anything about it.She willingly entered a lion’s den, and she was at his mercy.“Are you really this heartless?” I lashed out. My words were full of venom. If only I could claw at his eyes, I would gladly do it just to erase the smug look on his face.I hated that I was back to the position I had tried to escape from five years ago.I was powerless.“No. I am only protecting what’s mine. And the triplets are mine, Olivia. You took them away from me five years ago, depriving me of my paternal rights. It should be just right that I take back what you denied me.”Josh looked so angry. His face had undergone a complete turnaround.But I was angry, too.If he didn’t delude me into thinking that he married me to build a family, we wouldn’t have come to this.No. Josh Morgan Sterling can go take

    Olivia Barnett POVI nodded. I appreciated that he built something with the children in mind.What bothered me was how it affected me. My chest tightened. I knew it shouldn’t feel like my gut had been twisted, but it was there nonetheless. Not because he built a house for the children.It was more about being excluded.Well, it should not come as a surprise. Even before, Josh only wanted the babies, not me. Didn’t he devise a plan to take me out of my children’s lives?“You shouldn’t take it to heart. Josh was only angry. That is why he said that.”I shook my head.“Mr. Sterling has always been angry with me. It’s nothing new.” I shrugged my shoulders.“Well, I only have to endure his overbearing attitude temporarily.”“What do you mean?” Josh whipped his head back, causing Lucas and me to stop on our tracks, or we would crash into him.I even held out my hands for balance, and he was quick to grab my hand despite the fact that his arms were around Zoe.Embarrassed at the static feeli

    Olivia Barnett POVImmediately, I stepped back when I realized that Josh was staring not at me, but at my hand that Zeke was squeezing.I pulled my hand back, feeling awkward.Then, there were sirens. I straightened up to see that emergency medical assistance and the police were here. Behind them was a private car. The driver’s door opened and out came a man in corporate attire whom I haven’t seen in a very long time.He scanned the area and jogged toward Josh when he spotted him.But when he stopped in front of us, his eyes widened in delight.“Via? Is that really you?”I smiled and spread my arms wide.

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

    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
