OLIVIA
“What happened, somebody tell me what the fuck just happened?” I was going crazy, what was happening, what the hell did Ethan just say and why was he saying it? what the fuck did we do to deserve what he did?
“I think Ethan just stook a stand.” My dad said looking awfully calm for my liking, the situation should have pissed him off, but he was calm. “What the fuck is your friend thinking, Nick, does he think he can get away with this?”
Nick seemed calm as well, as if he were someone who knew what was happening or had a hand in it all. “I don’t know what he is thinking but I get where he is coming from.” I threw a glare his way, he was Samuel’s father and yet he was acting like nothing was wrong.
Like his son was not kidnapped by his friend. “What the hell are you saying now, Nick? Do you realise that my son is in the hands of your friend in a God forsaken country!” my dad just shook his head.
Nick’s mother took a seat saying nothing, yet she was the one who had a lot to say before. “Dad, why are you not doing anything? This is your grandson we are talking about!” what was everyone thinking?
Why were they not taking the situation as serious as it was, why were they so calm about everything? “Tell me something, Olivia. Is there anything from what Ethan said that is not true?” I drew a blank, everything he said was the truth.
When everything settled more issues a raised and the issue of registering as his mother took a back seat, mainly because I never thought something like that would ever happen!
“Your silence says it all. Ethan told us the truth and there is noting we can do but wait.” I fumed in anger pacing the room. just when I had nothing to say or do, my mind not working properly, my phone rang once again.
It was the same number, and I picked up and put it on speaker. “Ethan, thank God you called again.”
I was so relieved that he called, hoping that he had gotten back to his senses. “Why would you thank God that I called? I am not some kidnapper you know.” Judging by the way he sounded; I could tell nothing had changed.
He was still the same guy who called a few minutes ago. “Listen to me Ethan and listened well…”
“Oh, shut the fuck up Marcus, I am so tired of hearing your voice, of hearing you dishing out threats when you are the same person who asked for our help when you fucked up and had a child with fucking Sandra. So, stop talking because your damn wife is still raising a child that is not hers because you didn’t listen to your damn gut and investigate!”
Silence followed his words, no one could dispute what he was saying. “You want to know why I did this, Olivia?” I didn’t know if I wanted to know. Judging by the way he spoke to Marcus and shut him up just now told me that Ethan was on a war path.
