I had been in the baby room, looking after the baby while Olivia took a well–deserved break. I had just finished changing her and placed her back into her bed. I went to make her bottle, and when I returned, I found that guy, Olivia’s friend, standing there, looking at the baby. I had no idea when he came in or how.

I had only stepped away for a moment to use the bathroom, and when I came back with the bottle, he was just there. It felt like he had just appeared out of nowhere. A miracle, maybe? But I didn’t believe in miracles or coincidences. Ethan had mentioned he didn’t like the man, and I found myself agreeing with him, but this situation was just too creepy.

I stood behind him and watched as he slowly looked at the baby before turning his gaze to Olivia. “She’s going to be beautiful, I can tell,” he said, speaking to a sleeping Olivia.

Well, Sandra, her mother, wasn’t unattractive, she was beautiful. The only thing she lacked was a good heart. As for her father, Marcus, he was a handsome man, but not better looking than me. In fact, I was still the best looking out of the three of us.

Then he said something that made me stop in my tracks. “I would have let it go; you know. For the sake of the children, I would have and just put my focus on Luke. Everything would have been fine.” That’s when I started paying closer attention. What was he talking about? Did this man have ulterior motives? Was there a deeper reason for his friendship with Olivia?

“What are you doing?” I asked, my voice sharp. He tensed but quickly turned around with a forced chuckle.” Nothing just came to check on mom and the baby. I haven’t seen Olivia in a couple of days. I missed her,” he said, clearly lying.
