Chapter 0144

NICK

After I left, I didn’t care about a phone because I wanted some peace and quiet. I didn’t think of the mess my disappearance would cause back there. When Luke and his men showed up at the cabin, I was busy chopping wood. He didn’t ask questions when he saw me. the man rained punches on me then threw me in the trunk of his car and drove me back here.

That was why I looked the way I did. Coming back and finding Olivia about to be arrested, I understood Luke’s anger. His daughter was about to be arrested again because of me, that made me angry not only at the detective for doing a poor job but at myself for putting her through that again. She was right not to come back to me.

I couldn’t protect her, the only thing I seem to be good at doing was causing her pain and sending her to jail. The way she looked was like she lost weight; my heart sank. I really have messed up her life and it was enough. I had to let her go and find her peace and happiness. But I must say, having her shouting at me and demanding answers got me both amused and ashamed.

Amused because I felt like she cared for me and ashamed because I put her through that shit again. “Am sorry, my heart. I will fix things for you. give me a day and everything is going to be okay.” I didn’t wait for her to say more as I turned and left. When I got outside, I looked around. Fuck!

I didn’t have a car or a phone to call one. Now I had to go back and ask for a phone. I knocked once and she opened and gave me her phone. She knew me too well. I thanked her and made a call to Owen to come pick me up. He was so excited to hear from me, I swear he sounded like he was crying.

She glared at me not taking the phone and I couldn’t look at her long, so I lowered my head. “Stop fucking up my life Nick.” I nodded, this time I did not to it intentionally, but I got where she was coming from. She took the phone
