chapter 32Oliva POV. Today was the day that I would tell Austin about the baby. I'm happy being pregnantand I hope he will be too. But that didn'tstop the fear, fear that I might be a horrible mother. I'm scared that I might end up not loving my child as a mother shouLd and end up doing all the wrong things. I moved my hand on his hair, loving the soft feel of it. "It's still early, why are you awake?" Austina sleepy voice rings out and I smile. "I had to use the bathroom and found ithard to fall back asleep" I smiled and kissued his nose.He pulled me closer, my head resting on his chest." You look tired anymore, try toget some sleep." He caressed my cheek, I pulled away to peck his lips before laying back on his chest. We stayed in each other's embrace, cuddling for some time till I heard his soft snore and I smiled, letting myself fall asleep. The second time I woke up the day wasalready brightened and the bed was empty, I'm guessing he had to go out for an

Chapter 34Oliva POV. I woke up feeling like my head was splitting into two. I raised a hand to my head, trying to soothe the headache. I couldn't take any medicine because of the baby. Stifling out a yawn, I continued to layon the bed thinking of a way I could convince Monica and Rachel to believe and help me. I patiently waited for Rachel to comein like she has been doing for this past week. An hour passed, two hours, and still didn't see her. I was beginning to lose hope of her coming today when I heard the sound of the locks coming undone, the door opened and like usual, she had a tray of food in her hands. "I brought breakfast." She said, enteringthe room. She kept the tray of food on the table but didn't bother looking at me. "I'm just going to take a quick shower first," I said, pointing to the door and shenodded. I needed to shower first, it might soothethe headache and I could muster a bit of strength and courage. I got off the bed, feeling a little dizzy

Chapter 36Olivia POV. "Who are you?" I snapped out. The man stepped forward with a gun raised toward me. I panicked when I noticed he wasn't one of Austin's men because he didn't have the tattoo that signifies him being a part of Austin's mafia family. I took slow steps, looking for an escape route but the more steps I took the more steps he took as well. " Move one more time, then you have abullet attached to that pretty skull of yours." I stood rooted in my spot. How did he get it??. He grabbed a hold of my hand, his face coming in front of mine. He had a disgusting-looking scar that moved from his left eye down to his cheekbone. l opened my mouth to let out a scream but his gun moved down from my head to my stomach. " I suggest you think twice before you do anything stupid. You don't want to end up losing that baby of yours. That would be tragic." I was surprised by his words, how did he know about my ba? y? "No, please. I beg of you" I sob, trying to free my han

chapter 38Austin POV. Days and a week went by, drowning myself in alcohol, all because of her. The memory of that night is still fresh in my mind refusing to give way. It was like a loop running for the hundredth time. I clenched my hand into a fist and my fingernails dug against my palm making blood tickle to the floor. Him on top of her as his hands run overher body as if he owns her. She made me fall hard for her, making me weak just for her to humiliate me in front of my men and sleep with one of them. She had used those innocent faces to fool, taunting me with a mask she had on like a little temptress. I should have seen it coming. The first time I saw her at her aunt's restaurant I should have investigated more about her, I only checked her sister. I slammed my fist hard against the desk, standing up. I make my way to the basement where I kept Xander. The bastard had recovered very fast and I wanted nothing but to slam his face repeatedlyagainst the wall before se

chapter 40Austin POV. I felt like crap, I wasn't myself. It was like l was going to faint any moment from now. Walked over to where Lorenzo sat, typing repeatedly on the laptop in front of him. "any update yet" I asked him for the hundredth time since he came. "The picture has been proven to be fake, whoever did it was an expert. They knew you would probably check to see if it was Photoshop and made sure you won't be able to notice this." Lorenzo says, empathizing on each words. " This tooktime, whoever did this was not in a rush,meaning, they were well orchestrated" "Have you been able to pinpoint whereshe might be taken. " I growled. "Austin, I'm trying my best. It's not easy to..." "I don't care, I don't want you to try yourbest. I want you to find her, this is a matter of oliva and my child. So you better find her or you will be sorry Lorenzo. " I threatened him and suddenly groaned at the sharp pain I felt in my head. It was like my head was being spl
