Olivia's Pov"I am not ready," I said. "I am not ready for this journey.""Is that why you got yourself drunk yesterday?" he asked. "Tell me, what's on your mind?" He rubbed my hair gently."The baby..." I said. Was not his. It was not yours, Rico. I wish I could say something. But how sure was I? Rico also released some of his nice sperm in me, but why do I feel more connected to Justin? This feeling...it must be guilt, right? "I do not think we need a child right now.""Your feelings are so valid," he said and I nodded."Thank you for understanding.""We have been married for over a month and it seems too soon. But Olivia, this is a blessing and I want to assure you that I'll do anything in my power to protect you and our child. You just have to make up your mind, trust me. I would not let anything hurt you, and this is great news"I exhaled. "Oh, Rico" I muttered, ruffling the hair he had smoothened. "This is messing with my head. I don't want this""Why?" He asked. "Has anything
Olivia's Pov."I assume that is Justin." I heard the bartender's voice again and Rico and I broke from our kisses. Behind Rico, was Justin, walking toward us. He must have seen us kiss, because the frown on his face said so. Or maybe he was just extremely worried about me."Dad," I called him and he stopped where he was. "I knew you would come," I said, and then turned to the bartender guy, who handed me my phone. "Thank you for your help," I said to him and he smiled."Tell Rico the good news" the bartender whispered to me and I chuckled."Bye," I said to him."I must reward you," Rico said to him. "I'll be back" he rushed out of the bar, outside to his car. Justin still stood at a distance looking at me."How late was I?" He eventually asked."Just a minute" I smiled."I always look out for you. I am sorry. I should have been here faster""No, Justin," I said, trying to walk toward him but I staggered, so I remained in my position. The words cut from my throat. What was I about to s
Olivia's PovI must be cursed or something. That was the only explanation for this bullshit. My life was slowly ending and I was staring at it with no means to elevate it."Go home. We will discuss this at length tomorrow" Justin told me.Now he could push me home, right?I didn't go home. I went out to drink, I just needed a distraction. I needed a way to clear my head. I switched off my phone so Rico wouldn't reach me. It wasn't going to help if he kept asking me what was wrong.What was the solution? I needed this figured out. Would Justin take up his divorce very quickly now that his father was dead? Would our forever come very soon?What was he going to do? For once, I wanted to fully trust his decisions."Ma'am. It's almost midnight" the bartender said to me. "Do you not think..." "Shut up," I told him. "What do you know? Have you ever been pregnant?""Ma'am you're pregnant? You shouldn't be here then.""No. No" I held his shirt. "I do not have a home to go to." I sniffed back
Olivia's PovWith the number of test strips spread across the bathroom and the thick red line on them, my hands wouldn't stop shaking. I took the seventh test strip and deep it into the urine. What tendency did I have that this would be negative?"Please, please..." I begged, as I closed my eyes, before slowly looking at it. "Fuck no!" I cussed under my breath as I fell on my knees. It was positive, just like the others. "Olivia no" I bit my lips.There's no fucking way I was pregnant. This must be false news, somehow.Today was the day Justin asked that I see him, and I didn't want to go because I had chosen Rico over him and didn't want this anymore...But this...pregnancy?It could be his...No, what are you saying, Olivia? This shouldn't happen. It was going to ruin me! My doom was near. This cannot be true.I packed up the test kits and put them into a bag, hiding them somewhere in the bathroom. I could not be so sure yet, that it was Justin's.It could be Rico's baby.No, no. I
Justin's PovIt had been two weeks. Mary was not back. Although we spoke every day, this house was still too empty to live in. I often stayed late at work to pass the time. Olivia had not been reachable, but Rico had. The last time I checked up on them, he had sent a picture of their date. Olivia was happy with this man. When did that change and why? What was going to happen to me? Was she starving me in return now?This wasn't our deal, not how we planned it. I should visit her. She was indecisive and Rico had probably gotten into her head somehow. I have to do the same.I took a bath, dressed up, and took my car keys. My phone rang, it was the new personal assistant that I hired. "Tell me," I said when I picked up the call."Good Morning sir, I noticed some transactions made by your wife recently, and I wanted to confirm with you if you approved them.""Yes, she asked me. It's from our joint account. You don't have to worry.""Yes, I understand, but the joint account is where you
Olivia's PovAt midnight or so, I couldn't tell, but it was very dark, my phone rang. With my drunk self, I picked up the call and placed it to my ear. "Hello," I said lazily."Olivia" the voice startled me, such that I removed the phone from my ears and checked the caller. It was an unknown number, but the voice certainly was familiar."Justin?" I called."Come outside your house" I heard. "What?" I sat upon the bed, drunkenness blurring off my face. "You're outside my house?" I asked again."Yes," he simply responded and ended the call. I jumped out of bed. How is that possible? How did he get in? Why is he here? He shouldn't be here.I walked gently out of my room so I wouldn't make a sound and then to the living room, I gently opened the door. When I got outside, I looked around and it was true, Justin's car was parked just in the middle of Rico's and my car.My phone rang again and I picked it up. "Meet me at your garage," he said and ended the call.My garage? It was just an em
