Chapter 49
OLIVIA
I sat on the couch close to the window watching Samuel play ball with Lupita. It has been two days since Nick threatened me and I couldn’t take my eyes off my son. Not for a second. He was the only thing Nick could take from me that would destroy me.
I was so paranoid that I jumped at every little thing and always looking around. I have been working from home afraid that if I left, It would be the last time I saw him and I would never see him again. Marcus was the one who was busy taking care of business the past two days.
Sorting out the launch and dealing with the construction people rebuilding the warehouse. I was only dealing with the factory workers and doing paperwork. I placed the laptop on the coffee table and turned fully to the window and watched my son play.
He was laughing and running around chasing the ball. He would try to kick it then end up being the one who falls. I liked how he always got up and tried again. While I was still looking at that, two cars stopped in front of the gate.
I jumped up rushing to the door. By the time I opened the door. Lupita was on the ground and the man, Owen. One of Nick’s guards was heading to the gate with Samuel in his arms. “Owen!” he stopped then turned to look at me.
Before he could speak, Given appeared. “Missus. Am sorry, but don’t worry sir will take good care of him. please don’t make a scene or he is going to cry and that won’t be good for anyone.” My son looked confused, but he wasn’t crying. My heart sank. “Why is he doing this Given, do you think this is right?”
He lowered his head in shame. “Missus, let us take him without any drama. You can follow us and talk to the boss about it. But not in front of him.” I was holding my tears; Nick has done it again. Ripping my heart right out of my chest and literally breaking it.
I walked towards him and Owen looked at Given. He nodded. “Baby, these men are going to take you to uncle Nick, don’t worry I am going to be driving
behind you and I will meet you there alright?” he nodded. My poor boy.” Guess who else you are going to meet there?”
“Who?” he asked with a bit of excitement. “Grandma and grandpa.” He smiled. Given was right, it was better he didn’t know he was being taken away from his mother by force. I didn’t want him traumatized over this.
“Now, go with them and am going to get my car keys and follow you.” I kissed his forehead and watched as they got into the car and drove away with him. I let my tears fall as I went back to the house. Mam, I mean Olivia. Am sorry. I should have been more careful.” Lupita looked worried.
“It’s alright, Lupita. There is nothing you could have done. Those her his father’s people and they would have taken him even from me and there would have been nothing I could have done to stop them. just like now.”
I took my keys and headed to the door. “Call Mr Lewis and tell him what happened. Tell him I went there.” She nodded and I walked out. I got into my car and cried for a bit before starting the car and driving off.
On the road I wondered where they took him. to his house or his parents‘ house. Not wanting to go to my old home. I opted to driving to his parent’s house. I didn’t want to see those people; I was not ready to see or talk to them after what they did.
But Nick was forcing me to. Oh, how I hated that man, I stopped right next to the news vans, if Nick Jones didn’t give me my son, they were going to get another scandal, and I didn’t have to go far to make them miserable. The news vans were right outside.
I walked towards the door and one of them noticed me. “Olivia, why are you here, are you and Mr Jones getting back together, are you working things. out?” I smirked, Nick had another thing coming if he thought he was going to take my son without a fight.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Let me go inside and check on things with the family. When am done, I promise, I will come back here and answer all your questions.” Lwalked away heading to the door. I knocked once and helper opened. A smile broke on her face. “Missus, you are here. Oh, your son is so adorable!” I offered her a smile as I walked inside.
“Where are they?” she pointed to the lounge, and I walked there. She pulled me by the arms and whispered. “The whole family is in there, even the estranged daughter.” Interesting, I went there, and they were all around my son.
Mom, dad and Nick. The woman who I assumed was his sister was sitting there watching them. no, she was not watching them, she was watching mom and the look she was giving her was one of disgust and I wondered what that was about.
But I wasn’t there for that, I was there for my son. “Samuel?” I called my son, and he turned to look at me then jumped off the couch and ran to me. Mommy, you came!” I chuckled. “Yes, baby I came. Mommy will never leave. you.” I beckoned for the helper to come and take him.
“Mommy wants to talk to uncle and grandma and grandpa then I will take you home.” He nodded and he went with the helper. “We told him this was wrong Olivia; I don’t want you thinking we had anything to do with this, but Nick is stubborn.” Mom said.
I looked at Nick. “I don’t care if you think I leaked the news about your sister. But I will not let you take my son; you don’t deserve to be his father and Nick. If you dare, try to stop me from taking him. I will go out there and tell them everything that you did to me. the instructions you gave to the guards. in prison, the things they did to me following your orders and you taking my son because you think I did this to your family. Everything, even the things you pretend to have no clue about.”
His sister clapped her hands with a huge smile on her face. “You tell him girl; I don’t know what he did but taking your son away from you is wrong.” He turned to Nick and spoke. “I like her!”
“Stay out of this!” Nick said with a stern voice. The lady’s expression turned cold in a second as she looked him dead in the eyes. “Or what, what are you going to do?”
