I stopped myself right in time before I let it slip that I lost my womb in prison and a year and four months of my son’s life. “Go on, Olivia Tell me what you lost, I want to know.” I turned giving him my back. You lost the right to ask me questions the day you called the police on me and sent me to jail for two years. Oh, wait. It would have been longer if your parents didn’t come back, and you wouldn’t be bothered.”

I sighed turning back to look at him. “Just leave Nick and never come back here again. When the divorce papers are ready. Send your lawyer with them and I will sign, there is no need for us to see each other again.” There we go again, a flash of pain in his eyes and it was gone before I could even react making me feel like I was

seeing things.

He looked at me for a while before turning back and walking out my door. The guys rushed back in surrounding me. “Mam, are you alright, did he hurt you? we can call the police if he hurt you.” I chuckled, clearly, they didn’t know who Nick was if they thought calling the police would do any good.

“I am alright, he didn’t hurt me. Now, get back to work, I want to be open for business by the end of this month.” They scattered and I went to the back in my soon to be office. I took a seat and that was when I started shaking hard and crying at the same time. Nick found out about Samuel, how?

I took out my phone with my hands shaking so much that it fell. I bailed my hands into fists trying to calm myself before picking up my phone again. I took deep breaths before dialling Ethan. All I

wanted to know was if my baby was alright.

“Divia, I was about to call you. Nick saw u idn’t know he was there, he just showed up and saw Samuel, but it was only for a second before I took him away from there “Ethan spoke before ! could say anything. “He was just here asking if I had a baby I was hiding from him where is Samuel now?”

“We just landed in Tyger valley, I couldn’t leave Samuel in Summer Strand after Nick saw us. I took him and his nanny away from there. Knowing Nick, he will leave no stone unturned looking for him even though I told him he was my son.

Well, I knew that from the way he looked when he came here. “It’s alright Ethan, thank you for helping me once again.”

“Anything for you, Olivia. But…”

“But what?” please, I could not afford to lose Ethan as a friend but if he couldn’t lie to his friend anymore then I would have no choice but to bring Samuel back before time. “I think you should tell him Olivia. You didn’t see the look in his eyes when he saw Samuel.”

He sighed on the other end. “I know you want to protect him, but I don’t think you need to protect him from Nick. I know I sound silly right now because what the man did pissed me off and I thought he didn’t deserve to know Samuel but after I saw him today…I don’t know.”

Well, my worst fear just came through. “Bring him back then, there is no better time for him to meet his mother than the present.” If he couldn’t continue to keep the secret then I could not force him. I might not be ready, but I had no other choice.

“That is not what I me: Olivia. I just mean that you should consider telling him. The man did you wrong, I know, and I am not making excuses for him. But I think he would make a good father.”

I never doubted that. Nick was a good man that I believe but I did not trust him. not after everything he has done to me, I couldn’t. “My son was born in a dirty prison cell because of him…”

“Sorry, you said you lost your what?” oh, I forgot Ethan didn’t know about that part. “Olivia, what did you say you lost in prison?”

“It doesn’t matter Ethan, bring my son and I will make a plan. But Nick is not going to find out about him whether you help me or not.”

“Olivia, did you lose your womb in prison? So, your file in there is not only hiding the fact that you had a baby in there but because you also lost your womb and your ability to have more children, Damnit Olivia! Why didn’t you tell me?” he sounded so hurt.

“I had already bothered you enough, it’s not a problem Ethan, I have Samuel and that is enough. But don’t ever tell me to tell Nick about him, there is a lot more that happened to me in that prison, the place he sent me to. I lost so much Ethan,”

There was silence on the other end of the line. “Ethan are you still there?” he cleared his throat. “I am here, it just hurts to hear about the things you have been through while In there on your own. Am sorry Olivia, I will never suggest you tell Nick anything. You tell him or not it is up to you, and I will not interfere. He brought this upon himself.”

I appreciated his words. “Thank you, Ethan. But we both know Nick doesn’t know how to quit, he will not stop until he finds the truth. I will get the business up and running then come for Samuel. I need to be able to protect him and make sure Nick won’t take him away. from me before that.”

fick doesn’t deserve to be a father to my child. Not after accusing me of murdering Sandra’s baby and sending me to jail. It was his fault that I can’t have more children, his fault that he didn’t know he had a son. He wanted to punish me, then he should have known that everything had consequences. It would be a cold day in hell before I tell him about Samuel.
