Chapter 194
OLIVIA
If I had known five months ago what I know now, then I would have asked my father to come visit sooner. Last night, for the first time in five months, my husband spent the night with me. In our bed, and he wasn’t gone when I woke up. He was still fast asleep next to me and that warmed my heart.
Things have not been good in our home for months now and it was getting to the both of us. I hoped with everything I had that by the time, the four months end, we will still be a family. That we will be able to pick up where we left off and continue with our lives leaving all the bad stuff in the past.
After showering, I went to the kitchen and the table was already set. My dad was the one busy making breakfast. Nick and Marcus were sitting on the dining table looking like someone died. I knew then that Marcus already told them everything. It was a good thing I sent Samuel, Lupita and grandma away.
When I got in, my dad only glanced at me then clicked his tongue and continued with what he was doing, I didn’t have the energy to fight with him, so I went and join Nick and Marcus at the table. “Are you alright?” Nick’s question confirmed my suspicion, they already knew what has been happening
“Am fine.” Dad started placing food on the table. Just as he sat down, Jennifer appeared. “Something smells good! Oh, am starving.” She was wearing short pj’s again. My dad shook his head in disapproval. I never thought I would be disrespected this much in my life.
Why the hell didn’t I see how vile this woman was? Anyway her acting was good, she convinced me so well that I didn’t suspect a thing. “Marcus, can you take me shopping after breakfast, there are still somethings we have not bought for the baby.” My heart sank.
That was my baby and if something was missing. I was the one who was supposed to get it, not her, she was nothing to that child. “Olivia will get whatever is missing, she is the baby’s mother Afterall.” Jennifer didn’t seem bothered by what Marcus said.
“Take me out either way, I am tired of being in this house, need fresh air.” It was like she wanted everyone there to know that she had the power, that everything she says goes. She wanted my father and ex to see how pathetic I was. It hurt because I was pitiful.
“I have been meaning to ask you something, I have been thinking about It all night and I still can’t figure it out.” My dad said looking at Jennier. “Ask away.” She said stuffing her mouth with pancakes. “What is your end game? I mean in a couple of months the baby will be born, and you will have no leverage on Marcus, what then?”
I have been wondering the same thing, but I didn’t have the guts to ask. The woman had a way of working on my nerves and making me so mad that I want to kill her, she was pregnant with my child, and I could not afford to mess with her. Not after she threatened to run away with her.
“I have the same goal, stay with the father of my baby so we can be a family.” There we go, I didn’t know the kind of tests the clinic did, but they must have missed the fact the Jennifer was not quite right in the head. There was no way a sain person would say something like that, something was definitely wrong with her.
“You do realize that Marcus is married to Olivia and that the baby you are carrying is theirs not yours?” Jennifer laughed like my dad was crazy for asking something like that. “What makes you think what you are saying is the truth and what am saying is not?” what the hell was she talking about.
I swear, the more she spoke, the less I understood. “You really are not well. You should thank your lucky stars you are carrying precious cargo, if not for that. I would have sent you to meet your ancestors by now.” she laughed throwing her head back.
“Am I supposed to be scared by that? man, you are not the scariest person I know. There is someone even scarier

than you and I am more afraid of her than you.” her? she sather, who was she talking about? Could it be the clinic manager or someone else?
Jennifer didn’t give us a chance to ask more questions as she stood and left. “Arn I the only one who heard her sey she was more scared of her than you?” Nick asked the same question I had, who was her?
