Olivia's Pov"I didn't do it," I said. My voice was quivering. "I didn't take it." Tears were running down my eyes now."THEN EXPLAIN HOW IT FOUND ITS WAY TO YOUR ROOM!" Patricia's voice was cold and accusing."I don't know. I didn't put it there.""Bloody liar!”I looked at Nathan. His eyes were still on me. Still pale. Still tight."Nathan," I said. "Tell them. Tell them I didn't do this."He didn't say anything."Nathan. Please. Tell them I wouldn't do a thing like this.”He looked at the floor.Something inside me cracked."Someone is framing me," I said. I looked around the room. At Patricia. My father. My mother. At Jessica. "Someone put that necklace in my room. Someone wants me to take the blame." I said firmly."Who?" Patricia asked. Her voice was sharp. "Who would do that?"I looked at Jessica. She was standing behind Patricia. Her face was innocent and concerned. Her eyes were wide."You," I said.Jessica's face didn't change. "Me? Olivia, I would never. I've been downstair

Nathan's PovFinally, the sun started to set. It was already looking red. It got dark. The streetlights came on. I pulled over and put my head on the steering wheel.“She is gone. I lost her,” I whispered.I drove home with disappointment in my heart.The house was quiet. The foyer was empty. The dining room was empty. The living room was empty.I heard voices from the study. My mother's voice. And someone else’s. Jessica I guess.I walked toward them. My feet were heavy. My body was tired.I opened the door.They were sitting on the couch. My mother was holding a glass of wine. Jessica was holding a glass of champagne. They were both smiling."Nathan," my mother said calmly. "There you are. Where have you been?""Out," I said irritatedly."Out where?""Just out."She looked at me. Her eyes narrowed. "You look terrible. What happened to you?""Nothing." I didn't look at her face.Jessica stood up and walked toward me. Her hand touched my arm. Her fingers were cold."You poor thing," s

Olivia's Pov I shook my head. Tears slid down my cheeks. "I can't do this. I can't have a baby. Look at me. I've got nothing. No money, no home, no job. I can't raise a kid in this situation. I can't do this."Her face softened. "There's help. Programs. We can get you set up with something.""It's not that simple. I just can't.""Olivia…""I can't!" Too loud now. I bounced off the tile walls. "I can't have this baby. I have nothing to give it.""Talk to me."I shook my head, eyes burning now. "He doesn't want me. He wouldn't want this. Never wanted any of it. They will never accept me ""Who?"I didn't answer. I couldn't bring myself too.It was raining tears now."He doesn't know," I said. "Doesn't know I'm pregnant. Doesn't know anything.""Does he hurt you?""No. Yes. I don't know." I wiped at my face with the back of my hand. "He let people hurt me. He didn't stop it. He just stood there and watched."Rachel looked at me with sad eyes."You don't have to decide anything today," s

Olivia's PovThe afternoon shift quickly came by. More tables, more dishes to clean.Evening rush hit and the place filled up fast — voices shouting over each other, the bell over the door ringing nonstop.I was wiping a table when a hand grabbed my arm.I froze.A big sized hand in fact. It squeezed hard enough to hurt, fingers digging in."Hey, sweetheart." A voice, slurred. "You're pretty." I turned to see a big guy, face red, eyes glassy. "Let go of my arm." My voice came out small. Shaking."Come here." He yanked me closer. "Sit with me a minute.""No, thank you.""I wasn't asking." His hand slid to my waist, fingers digging into my hip now. "I said sit." He winked at me and smiled."Let go of me."His smile faded. His eyes started narrowing, jaw tightening, and an ugly smirk twisting up."Don't be a bitch. You work here. You serve me. I want some service."His hand moved lower. His fingers brushed my thigh.I couldn't breathe. Couldn't move. Just frozen there, trapped between

Nathan's Pov"Fine. Let me bear that cross."My mother walked closer to me. She tried to hold my hand but I took a step back.She looked at me like she was searching for my soul. “You don't need to be so angry at everyone. Remember, marrying Olivia was a mistake. She tricked all of us. She is even meant to be in jail for the amount of deceit. She robbed her sister of her marriage.”Richard stood up from the table and walked towards me. So did Jessica.“My son.” He goes on talking. “I gave birth to Olivia. I know her more than you think you do. She is a manipulating girl. She has lied her way into your heart. She doesn't deserve you. Jessica here is meant to be your wife. That's the truth and you have to accept it. But let’s not rush. We will slowly dissolve your marriage with Olivia. When that is done, you and my second daughter here can finally be together. Come on, let's put the past behind us. Let's go have a drink man to man.” He stretched forth his hand gesturing for a handshake
