Chapter 0125 OLIVIA Marcus called very early in the morning asking if we were ady to leave. It was five in the morning when he called, and he sounded drunk. I didn't know why he would be drinking when he still had medication to take. But I didn't say anything because I wanted to see him for myself also, it sounded like he was not alone wherever he was.
I tried asking but he was already talking to someone else telling them not to touch something. Then the line went dead. I woke up then and packed the last of our stuff. We only had clothes, everything else burned with my previous home.
When I finished packing, I ordered breakfast for us. I didn'know what state the house was going to be in when we got there. There might not be tto get breakfast and there might be things to buy and errands to run. I wanted us to at least have breakfast before going there, Marcus said a car was going to be here around eight.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAround seven, I woke everyone up to shower and have breakfast. “God! I am still feeling tired, I hope we don't have much to do when we get there." Lupita complained as she threw herself on the chair taking a bacon from her plate and munching on it.
"I think Marcus got many things done. Maybe we will have a few things to buy which we can do any other day it doesn't have to be today." She nodded. Grandma appeared with Samuel and joined us at the table. We ate while talking.
Marcus called again at around eight tellingto get downstairs and that the car would be there in two minutes. We carried our stuff out to the elevator going downstairs. While the others went to the car, I checked out of the hotel and paid whatever I owed.
When I walked out, I saw familiar faces, sof Marcus's men, Nick's, Ethan's and even sof Luke's men. I furrowed my eyebrows confused as to what was happening I got worried that we might be in danger and that was why the men in my life each sent their men to get us.
I didn't waste tgetting into the car and we drove off. I was curious to know what was happening and even wanted to ask the men, but I stopped myself, they might have been told not to say anything. When we got to the house, I was shocked.
The front yard was filled with guards, there was a fire going and nick was at the grill with an apron on. My frown deepened when I saw him instead of my fiancé. "What is going on here?" asked Lupita. "I am wondering the sthing." I spoke.
I saw new flower beds added in front of the house making it more beautiful and welcoming. Marcus did a good job. But then again. I was not sure if it was Marcus I should be giving the credit to or my ex-husband. We got out of the car and walked into the gate.
Nick gavea small smile. Samuel spotted Ethan and ran to him. why was he there, just what the hell was going on? I gave Nick a nod and walked inside. I stopped in my tracks when I saw the inside of the house. I didn't need to change anything, it was perfect, it had everything I needed, my taste.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI looked back at Nick, and he was busy with the grill. Nick, are you responsible for this? I mentally questioned as I saw sitems that he liked in the house. A frown appeared on my face. Marcus cout from somewhere in the house. When he saw me, a huge smile broke on his face. He looked happy to see me, and he was drunk.
Just what the hell did I miss? He gavea hug and a kiss. "What do you think?" he asked gesturing to the house. I offered him a smile. “It's perfect, thank you." "I wish I could take all the credit, but I had help and a lot of it." that part was clear, he couldn't have done all that by himself. "Nick, Ethan and Luke helped." 1 frowned when he mentioned Luke. Why would he ask Luke for help? 1/2 -25 BONUS Chapter 0125 "I know you don't want him in your life for whatever reasons but, he wants to be there for you, and I didn't need his help, but I asked for it anyway to include him in your life in a small way. Family is difficult Olivia, ask me, I know."
He pulledinto his arms givinga short hug. "My uncle was not happy when my father whom I didn't know lefteverything he owned. MM uncle felt like he deserved any father's things, and I could tell that he would do anything to get them. so, I shared my wealth with him because of two reasons. One, we don't choose our families and two because I didn't want to die young Well, I didn't know what that has to do withand Luke, but 1 appreciate him sharing that with me. "And the barbeque outside?" he laughed. "We were hungry after all the work was done and we have been drinking so we opted for a barbeque than takeaways." Interesting.
So, they were bonding overin my house without my permission. Wow! "You don't look happy; I can clear the ΟΥ house now if that is what you want. These people mean nothing toand chasing them out will not be a problem. You matter, your happiness and comfort matters. Tellwhat you want, my queen and it shall be so." He noticed and that was enough for me. "Thanks babe but that won't be necessary. You have your fun." He kissed my forehead. “Con, letshow you around the house so you can tellwhat you wantto change."
I looked at the house and everything was perfect, Soon Ethan called us to eat, and it was lunch talready. Luke was drunk sitting in a comer like a little boy who had been reprimanded and was now on tout. Ethan was singing along to the music and dancing. Nick was acting like the man of the house preparing and serving everyone. Marcus was glued to myside as if I was going to disappear. My son was having fun dancing and playing with Ethan. I looked around at the people in my yard and internally prayed that the peace lasts.
