Olivia Barnett POVI 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.“Olivia!”I was startled to see Lucy standing in front of me. She looked at the empty parking lot and asked if Grandpa had left, and I nodded.Together, we got inside the building, back into our apartment unit.“We need to move faster. I think Grandpa knows that I filed for divorce and am relocating.”“And what of it?” Lucy demanded.“I don’t want Josh and Grandpa to have a falling out because of me.&rdquo

Olivia Barnett POV“I told you, I can’t love you. Even before I married you, I made it clear. So don’t expect me to have some feelings for you.”I smiled bitterly. Josh did not even mince words. He gave it to me straight, aimed right at my heart, to maim me.If it had been before, the declaration would have driven me crazy with pain, and I would have suffered in silence, but now I only wanted one thing. To get my freedom back from this man.I only wanted to live in peace with my baby.“I understand perfectly, Josh,” I said, squaring my shoulders to look him in the eye.Josh looked straight back at me.

Olivia Barnett POVLeaving Josh’s office to escape Daisy’s wrath was easier, but the minute I set foot outside, I realized I was in a bind.I screeched to a halt, and my eyes widened in surprise at the sight of my coworkers flocked together outside Josh’s office, waiting.A wince formed on my lips when I realized that, despite the door being closed, the muffled voices carried tension that spilled to those gathered outside.“Olivia, what’s wrong? Why are you arguing?” Maisie, my junior secretary, bravely asked.I looked around me, feeling at a  loss for words.How can you explain to everyone around you how messy and complicated your life has

Josh Morgan Sterling POVThis morning, I was about to fetch Olivia from her apartment to discuss our living arrangements with her.Since we are married, we can’t be living separately now that she’s pregnant. I needed to make sure that the baby was safe, taking into account that she had been rushed to the hospital emergency department for two consecutive days.Something pricked my conscience. I knew that I was more concerned about the baby, but can anyone blame me?For years, Grandpa Jonathan had been very explicit in his desire for me to marry Olivia Barnett.Yes, she lost both parents at thirteen, and before Grandpa found her, she had been living in an orphanage. I did not know what kind of life she lived there. I only knew that when she came to live with Grandpa, she was withdrawn, angry, and guarded around people. She always locked herself inside her room, which worried Grandpa and me no end.I have heard the horrors she experienced at the orphanage. The punishments from the worker

Josh Morgan Sterling POVWhen Olivia asked for a divorce from me, I thought it was another of her tricks. I thought she was dangling the issue of divorce in my head to force my hand for another one of her whims.But when I saw the copy of the divorce agreement sent to the office, that’s when I realized she meant it.“Let’s go to the police and report the incident.” Grandpa Jonathan told me.I thought he had already left. Thankfully, he didn’t. He was able to function and respond to Olivia’s abduction right away.“Who saw what happened? Get me the CCTV footage outside the building right now.” While he barked the command for our staff to follow, I was slumped in my seat, hands cupping my face.Until now, I could not believe what had happened.“Who in their right mind would abduct Olivia in broad daylight.
