got out of a tex in front of Nick’s home. Her mother called me to come and see them. She said they wanted to talk to me about something urgent / wondered what it was, but I came up with nothing else other than that Nick told them about Samuel and they wanted to know if he was their grandson or not.

it was not about to tell them either, I couldn’t talk about my son without thinking about what their son did to me. without resenting tum and everything he stood for. I hoped for their sake they didn’t ask me about my son

1 walked to the front door and Lupita their helper opened the door before I could knock “Missus, you look beautiful and it’s good to see you“I gave her a small smile. She was a nice old lady. “It’s good to see you too Lupita.”

She led me to where the Jones where sitting, the atmosphere was tense, and I knew they were going to ask me something I was not going to like. Nick’s mother stood when she saw me. She gave me a hug and spoke. “I want you to know that I had nothing to do with this, I fought against it, and I am sorry that I couldn’t stop him.”

What is going on? I looked over at Nick’s father and he didn’t look pleased at all. “Take a seat, please so we can talk.” I went and took a seat, but I was not comfortable. “Nick was here.” She started then looked at her husband.

She was angry with him, i could tell but I didn’t know about what.

Those two were the perfect couple, so in love and couldn’t take their eyes off each other. But not today. Today, one was angry and the other couldn’t even look at her.

“He told us about the boy.” I assumed he told them and that was

top why they called me there, to confirm what he told them beating around the bush. I know that child Nick saw is his, Olivia. Now, tell me where my grandson is. His father said.

I sat there looking at him, my blood boiling and hands bailed into fists. “You can’t deny that you had a child in prison, I saw your medical records from the hospital and how you lost your…”

“James Jones!” He was going to say how I lost my womb. I thought they said they would not check my medical records, that they would wait until I was ready to tell them. Why did they have to go behind my back to get them?

I stood with my bag in hand, I was so disappointed in them but what was I expecting? Nick was their son, and I was nothing but a daughter in law. “Since you know all there is to know then, there is no need for me to stay here any longer or answer any questions.”

I walked to the door, my mother–in–law rushed after me stopping me before I could walk out. “Olivia, I am sorry. I told him not to do it, but he would not listen. I know this is upsetting but I get where they are coming from. They just want to know about the child. Please, forgive them, forgive us.”

I offered her a small smile; she has been good to me all these years. She never saw me as below her son’s standards; she loved and supported me from the beginning. It would be hard for me to keep my distance from her.

“I am not saying that I will never forgive dad, but it will take time for me to get over what he has done to me. You both gave me your word that you would not check my medical records, that you would give me time and let me tell you when I am ready. Dad didn’t keep

Oliva” she called my name as I walked out. I could hear it in her voice that she was crying I wanted to turn back and go comfort her But I couldn’t, I was too heartbroken myself and if I had gone back. would have ended up saying things to her I would have later regretted

As I stood there waiting for a taxi to arrive, I could not help but shed

tear or two. This was my family and now I was truly alone. My phone vibrated in my hand and Ethan’s name appeared on the screen. I wiped my tears before answering.

“Hey Liv, listen, there is a business gala I was invited to this evening. Do you want to be my plus one?” I was in no mood for dressing up and socializing after what just happened. I just wanted to go home and eat junk food watching series on tv.

“I don’t think I will be good company, Ethan. Thank you for inviting me but I can’t go ”

“Low, this is a business gala, and you have a small business. Being there will give you a chance to meet potential clients and market your business.

laugh. The way he was looking at me got me nervous.

“I was about to call you, I don’t think am ready to do this.”

“Get your bag, Olivia. We are going to this gala. That dress deserves to be seen and not hidden. Just like you, now, let’s go. We are already late.” I wanted to protest but he already walked away and. was now standing by the car with his back on me.

I went back inside, checked myself in the mirror one more time before grabbing my bag and going out locking the door behind me. Ethan opened the door for me, and I got inside. He got in after and

sat next to me.

His driver started the car, and we were on our way. I was so nervous that my stomach churned at the thought of being around the people. from that world again. I was no longer their peer; I was now just another woman pretending to be something she was not, and I was afraid they were going to see right through my act.

A warm hand was placed on top of mine stopping me from thinking. I turned to look at him and there was warmth in his eyes. “Don’t be nervous, I will be with you every minute we are in there. You will not be alone, and no one will dare say a thing about you with me there.”

He was right, who would dare insult Mr Lewis’s date? No one, not unless they were powerful enough to stand his rage when it came.” Thank you, Ethan.” I just needed to remind myself that I was going there for my son. To get new business to be able to bring him home.

Thinking about Samuel and bringing him home got my stomach in knots. It scared me to think of what might happen when I bring him. back. His father might fight to get .ull custody of him, and he would.

-win.

He was a better parent than me in the eyes of the law. He was a

billionare with a good family background and no criminal record. I, on the other hand had no one. No support system, no family and no financial stability.

I couldn’t even afford a good lawyer at the moment to give me a fighting chance. Which was why I needed to hold on a little bit longer to bring him back. Nick and his family had already shown me what they were willing to do to get him and I couldn’t let that happen.

“Liv, we are here.” Ethan brought me back cutting my train of thought. I looked out the window and we were in front of the venue. There was a red carpet reporters with their cameras flashing in every direction. I took a deep breath. This was for Samuel, I reminded myself.

“Don’t answer the reporters, just walk by my side and everything is going to be alright.” I just nodded; I couldn’t trust myself to speak. Our turn came for us to get out. The driver stopped the car and went around to open for us.

The cameras were now on us with the reporters eager to see who was going to get out of that car. Ethan went out and the cameras. flashed blinding me a little. I closed my eyes momentarily to clear my vision.

Ethan offered me a hand and the questions started. “Mr Lewis, did you bring a date?”

“It seems the New Village’s eligible bachelor brought a date to the annual gala for the first time ever, who could the lucky lady be?” another commented on the side. I didn’t know why they couldn’t wait to see who it was instead of speculating.

When I finally got out of the car. Silence followed, Ethan and I walked forward. Then it was like the reporters were snapped out of
