After dealing with that guy, I went looking for Nick. I overheard part of his phone call, but I couldn’t make sense of what he was saying. Still, I had a feeling he was up to something. I never fully trusted him, especially when it came to Olivia and Samuel. Those two were everything to me, and I couldn’t afford to fail them again or let anyone hurt them. They had already been through too much.

“Nick, Nick?” I called out as I approached his room, feeling anxious.

He stepped out, looking displeased. “What? Why are you calling me like there’s a fire in the hotel?” He was annoyed, but I didn’t have time for that.

“I need to talk to you. Come to my room, now.” I turned to leave, but then he spoke.

“I’m not going anywhere. If you have a problem, go find Luke. You told me to be a father, and that’s what I’m doing. Go sort your stuff out with him.”

He started to go back inside, but I stopped him. “It’s about Samuel.”

I didn’t wait for his reply and walked away. It was the only way I could get his attention. Sure enough, a minute later, he walked into my room, worry all over his face. “What happened to my son?”

I almost wanted to laugh. “Feels good, doesn’t it?”

He furrowed his brow, clearly confused. “What are you talking about?”

I chuckled. “Calling him your son. Feels good, huh?”

A smile tugged at his lips. “Of course it does. You know how it feels too. He’s practically yours.” And that was true.

“Look, man, nothing’s wrong with Samuel. I just wanted to get your attention.” He let out a relieved breath. ” Alright, what’s going on?” I took a seat. “I think we need to keep a close eye on Xander.” He raised an eyebrow, likely thinking I was talking about him wanting Olivia and how we had to protect her for Marcus’s sake.
