Two years have passed since that woman humiliated me, since | found out she stole millions from me.
How could | have been so stupid and blind? When Sandra toldthat Olivia had a hand in what happened to my
mother all those years ago—how they met, how Olivia “just happened” to save her from being hit by a car—I
refused to believe it at first. | thought my wife could never be capable of such things.
Then she gavethat recording of their phone call, where Olivia had admitted everything: how she'd landed
her “golden goose,” how her life was going to change for her and her grandmother. As if that weren't enough,
she stole from me. Sandra had showedthe proof.
| recovered sof the money, but only a small portion. Thinking about her still fillswith rage. How could
she have been so cruel? My mother loved her!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Nick!” Sandra snappedout of my thoughts. “It’s almost tto go pick up your parents. I'm finishing up
with dinner. It'll be ready by the tyou get back.”
If it weren't for Sandra these last two years, | don’t think | would've made it through.
My parents have been traveling the world, and they're coming htoday. They're going to be so disappointed
when they find out what happened with Olivia. My poor mother. She trusted that good-for-nothing woman.
Anger surged as | grabbed my keys.
“Nick!” Sandra’s voice stoppedagain. | turned to face her.
“Don’t think about her,” she said softly. “It only makes you angry. Today is about your parents coming home.
Let's focus on celebrating, not on the past.”
| gave her a small smile. What would | have done without her?
At the airport, | spotted my mom first, followed by my dad, and their guards carrying the bags. Her face lit when
she saw me. She rushed over, throwing herself into my arms. | laughed, hugging her back as Dad shook his
head.
“You're suffocating our son, woman!” he grumbled. Mom shot him a glare over her shoulder, and he raised his
hands up in mock surrender. Watching them, a wave of sadness washed over me. | had thought Olivia and |
would have what they had. | guess it wasn’t meant to be.
“Goodness! You're so thin! Does Olivia not feed you anymore? Where is she, anyway?” Mom asked, her smile
fading slightly.
| sighed. This wasn’t the tor place to tell them. “Let's get home, and I'll explain everything,” | said.
They exchanged a glance, and Mom's face brightened again. “Don’t tellshe’s at hwith a baby! Oh, |
knew she’d givea grandchild soon!”
My heart sank. She had no idea Olivia never wanted kids—only my money.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Mom, it’s not like that.” | opened the car door for her.
Dad got in after her, his face already turning cold.
| started the car and drove off. Mom wanted to ask more questions on the way, but Dad convinced her to wait
until we got home. Thankfully. Talking about Olivia wasn’t easy, and | wasn’t looking forward to the conversation.
Once we got back, | told them everything: how Olivia had pushed her best friend down the stairs, killing her
child; how she’d stolen millions from me; how she was never in love with me, never wanted a baby with me; how
she was secretly on birth control the whole time; and how she had just wanted my money.
“She is not the person you thought she was,” | said. “Olivia is cruel.”
Mom looked atas if I'd committed a crime. “Nick, are you insane?” she shouted, furious.
| stared at her, baffled. Hadn't she heard what I said?
