Olivia North

I immediately saw Zac's black Lamborghini Aventador parked by the fountain when Dylan and I arrived at the manor. Seriously, he's such a douche for always parking his damn cars on that spot because the beauty and tranquility of the fountain was depleted by his cars and I don't care whether it's a high end luxury car or a limited edition car.

Tonight dad invited us to have dinner in the manor, he told us that he's been missing us so he hosted a regale tonight. Ever since I spoke to dad in mom's garden, we became closer just like before for we have settled what needed to be settled and be bygones be bygones. It's like as if the smallest shard of glass that was left pierced in my heart was already removed and I was slightly kinda thankful for the incident happened in Nick's house. If it wasn't for it I wouldn't be able to have the talk with dad and would probably still be a bitch to him.

"Mommy, is this gwandpa's house?" Dylan asked when we entered the foyer of the manor.

"Yes sweetie. Let's go see grandpa and Uncle Zac, okay." I held his hand and walked towards the t.v room where I could hear cheering. I saw Zac standing by the couch with his hands placed on his waist while Dad's sitting patiently, they were too engrossed and focused in watching the football game that they didn't notice us so when my idiot of a brother cursed, I immediately covered Dylan's ears and uttered, "Language."

Both of them turned their heads towards us, Dad smiled lovingly to me and Dylan while Zac asked me.

"Nick's here?"

We walked towards the couch and Dylan immediately hugged daddy.

"Hello, gwanpa." Dad laughed and hugged him and placed him to his lap.

"Nope, it's just the two of us. Nick's in Italy for 6 days so Dylan's staying with me." I took a grape from the coffee table and ate it.

"Hi, Uncle Zac." Dylan greeted my brother while he's sitting on dad's lap.

"Hello, young man, I thought you forgot about me. Come here and give me a hug." Zac picked Dylan from my dad abruptly and tickled him.

"Mommy help me. Uncle Zac's tickling me. Mommy!!!" Dylan giggled while shouting for help. Zac stopped immediately and looked at me questioningly and mouthed "Mommy?"

I nodded and smirked at him, I took Dylan from him and sat beside Dad to smoothen his clothes and kissed his cheek.

"Thank you, mommy." Dylan thanked me and played with his toy car. I looked at Zac and laughed because he couldn't believe what he just heard.

"Can we talk outside? Dad, do you mind?" Zac asked in confusion and Dad nodded. I kissed my son's forehead and spoke to him.

"Dylan, mommy will just talk to uncle Zac outside, okay. You play with grandpa, be a good boy." I told him carefully and he nodded at me.

"Mommy?" Zac asked immediately when we're out of Dylan's earshot.

"Yes. I am his mommy." I said flatly at him and he just ran a hand on his face.

"So you agree now? To marry Niccolo?" He leaned his side to the wall and asked me seriously.

I just smiled at him and he frowned and held both of my shoulders.

"Olivia, this is not a game. Don't give any false hopes to the kid if you're not going to marry his dad. At least don't make him believe that you're his mom." He looked me in the eye seriously and I can see disappointment in it. What? Did he think that I was only toying Dylan's feelings? I shrugged my shoulders to remove his hands.

"What do you mean, Zachary? What the hell do you think I was doing?" I asked him to confirm what I thought he was thinking. He took a deep breathe and sighed, he leaned his back to the wall and looked at me.

"You said last time that you won't get married to Niccolo even if you two are in a good position now. Now you let Dylan call you mommy, Olivia if you will leave them in the end then stop making them like you. Both of them are good people so please stop making them to be attached to you." My jaw dropped at his statement, I cannot believe that he thought of me like that. I am a bitch but I never ever thought that I will leave them both especially now that I was the one who became so attached to the father and son. I punched Zac's arm and because he wasn't expecting it, he kinda stumbled but he quickly composed himself. Before he even say something, I pointed my index finger at him and spoke.

"How can you think of me like that? Are you nuts? Why would I do that? You of all people should know that I won't be doing any of that. Oh my God. Did you think I was doing this to just what, for fun? I've already agreed to marry Niccolo, Zachary you're a fucking ass. I'm outta here" I said angrily and was about to walk away but he held my arm.

"Olivia, I'm sorry okay. It's just that I thought that you're still not agreeing to Dad's request. I'm just looking out for them too, I mean Nick is one of my closest friends and I treated his son as my nephew since Nick had him so you can't blame me to be concerned about them. So I'm sorry my dear sister if I hurt you." He apologized and I removed my arm from his grip.

"Yes, I am a bitch but I am not that kind of bitch, Zac. They're good people so I'm not going to hurt them by abandoning them, I'm not that petty of a person, I'm better than that." I folded my arms on me chest and frowned at him. He puts his arm around me and messed my hair up, I elbowed him because I did not waste my 2 hrs of blow drying and curling for it to be messed up by this judgemental idiot. I heard his grunt and spoke, you can clearly hear the hurt on his voice.

"Olivia, what the fuck, this is the second time you hit me tonight. Nick was right, you are a violent woman. Gosh, I pity him." I gasped and was about to hit him when he quickly went inside the t.v room. Ugh. I cannot believe Nick told on me. I will kill him when he gets back.

It's past midnight when Dylan and I got in my apartment. Dinner went well, Dad had a lot of fun playing with our little devil while Zac kept on annoying me by asking about work related stuff. Like for God's sake get off my back, I was trying to have fun tonight. So to stop him from asking, I kinda excused myself and went to the other side of the room and fake called Erin to ask her about Alex, I knew he was eavesdropping so I told "Erin" that she has to give Alex a chance because the guy was just so into her and it's time for her to have a guy in her life right now.

And after that "call", the almighty Zachary North went silent and just watched whatever he's watching in agony. That's how I got my fun back, oh dear brother, man up and ask her out already, you're wasting your time.

I chuckled silently when I remembered his face, after I tucked in Dylan, I went to my kitchen to have some tea and my phone rang. It was Niccolo and I excitedly answered it. We talked to each other the whole night and I sent him pictures of Dylan today playing with my dad. Oh, I miss this man already.

--------------------

I couldn't breathe, it's as if someone's crashed on me but it felt so warm. I opened my eyes and was greeted by a sight of a neck, I looked up and saw Nick sleeping peacefully while hugging me tightly. He looked so content, boyish, and handsome while sleeping, I couldn't believe that I found his looks average when I met him. Geeze, my eyes were probably not working that time, I stared at the sleeping handsome and I cannot control the urge to trace his facial features.

First from his hair that was so soft you think he's not putting any products in it, next to his bushy eyebrows which perfectly frames his face, then to his dark and full eyelashes that I was so envious to have, to his slightly crooked nose that always collided in mine whenever we kiss, and finally to his lips that gives me butterflies whenever he gives kisses on me, be it on the lips, my temple, forehead, and what not. I must say, dad indeed chose a perfect man for me, a handsome and kind man.

He stood up for me when his Nana was insulting me, he looked out for me whenever I was being so hard on myself, and he took care of me even if didn't need it and his presence alone can make calm. Oh Nick, how did you manage to make me fall for you. Yes, knew that I was in love with him before we went to his mom's bake sale, at first I didn't acknowledge it but I realized that I was in love with him was the day his Nana told me that I wasn't good enough for him.

That night when I was crying on my spot, I cried for three reasons, first was that I missed my mom, second was the fear of him getting tired of my high maintenance self and realize that he needed in his life a good wife and lastly, the fear of losing him and Dylan. So these past few days, I bothered Jowee and Erin to teach me how to cook but I was so dumbed in chopping so I cut myself. But I didn't back down, I promised myself to strive harder so I can show to Nick and to his Nana that I am better than the ugly parrot, Rebecca.

Speaking of cooking, I need to get up now to make them breakfast. I grabbed my phone from the bedside table and checked the time, perfect it's still early so I still have time to cook. Before I get out from Nick's bear hug, I took a picture of us snuggling and posted it on my IG because why not? I need to show everyone that he is mine right and besides he's handsome even when he's sleeping so it's something to gloat.

After I successfully got out from Nick's bear hug, I did my morning routine and checked up on our son, just like his dad, he was fast asleep with the same expression just like his dad's. So cute.

I decided to make grilled cheese sandwich and pancakes because I remembered that Nick was craving for it the day before yesterday. Down to my last grilled cheese, I felt him back hugged me and he placed his head on my right shoulder. This was just like a deja vu of the first time he slept here.

"Good morning." I greeted him and held his right cheek. He just hummed and took a deep breathe.

"You know, I could get used to this, waking up seeing you in the kitchen. It's just so heartwarming." Oh my god. So he really wants a wife that can cook. Oh god. From now on, I will take the cooking lessons seriously.

I smiled at him and kissed his cheek.

"Nick, can you check up on Dylan please." I asked and put the sandwich on the plate. I grabbed the pre-mixed pancake batter but Nick turned me around and turned off the induction and kissed me hard. He lifted me and placed me on top of my kitchen counter. I tried to dominate the kiss by biting his lips and explored his mouth with my tongue and I was glad that he let me. I poured my love and longing for him in that kiss, I was just overwhelmed by my feelings, it's deep and emotional. I circled my legs to his waist and pulled him closer. Our heated yet passionate kiss ended when we both struggled to breathe for oxygen without letting go of each other. But I must say, kissing him was always perfect.

"Wow, that's the best one yet." He panted and whispered he lifted my chin and looked in to my eyes. I smiled at him and hugged him.

"I missed you so bad, baby." I said and hugged him even more tighter. He just chuckled when he said, "I haven't got all the oxygen I needed and yet your knocking it all out by hugging me so tight."

It's my turn to chuckle and I released him.

"Whatever. Go wake Dylan up, breakfast will be ready." I pushed him and hopped down from the counter. He pecked me on my lips before going to Dylan's room.

After having breakfast, Nick and I decided to go out to stroll around, shop, or just do whatever we wanted to do.

All throughout the day, we had fun but there were paparazzis chasing us again. Geez that was so annoying, the minute I thought they got a hang of me, they will show up all of a sudden and chase me for whatever they saw fit to report and I was so tired of that. Fortunately, Jenko, Nick's head of security, and 3 of his subordinates were guarding us so chasing them away was kinda easy.

When were at the mall, I saw Cassandra Tucker, my arch-enemy from high school. She was the lead cheerleader and the reason why I categorized her as my arch-enemy because she repeatedly hooked up with my boyfriend that time and she made fun of me being a nun for not losing my v card. It went on til college because she and I apparently went to the same college and took up business. She also seduced my boyfriend that time and I caught them having sex in my boyfriend's apartment on my birthday.

Well, you may be asking why have they been cheating on me, that's because I never give myself to them, I promised myself that I will lose my virginity to my husband. I value myself and at the same time, that was my only way to know that his feelings for me are real not because of my money.

Now when Cassandra saw me, she went to me to greet me but I knew it better.

"It's been a long time, North." She said in fake cheerful voice then winked at me tried to kiss me on my cheek but I evaded her.

"I don't care, Tucker." I spat at her and was about to turn around when I heard Dylan called me.

"Mommy, mommy, daddy bought me chocolate ice cream." He said excitedly when he neared me. I smiled at him and thanked God that I chose a navy blue shirt for him.

"Really? How fun is that? Where's daddy?" I said.

"He's just talking on the phone." He licked his ice cream and sat on one of the chairs.

"You have a kid?" I heard the bitch spoke in disgust.

"Yes, I do." I reciprocated her tone to her.

"Well that means you're not a nun." She chuckled but she abruptly stopped when Niccolo placed his arm on my shoulder.

"Sorry babe, Jericho called, he's inviting us to Elly's birthday party this Saturday. Oh hello." He greeted Cassandra when he saw her.

"Hi. I am Cassandra Tucker, Olivia's old friend." She extended her hand for a handshake and looked at him seductively. What the fuck. I held Nick's hand before he even touched her hand and I kissed him hard in front of her quickly.

"It's okay, honey. Let's go to Elly's birthday. Oh and Cassandra, this is my boyfriend, Nick." I told him when I pulled out from the kiss and introduced him to the bitch without telling his full name. I smirked at her and I saw anger in her eyes, that's it bitch get angry.

"I can see that. Anyway, I have to go. See you next time, Nick and Olivia." She bid her goodbye and she was about to pinch Dylan's cheek but I stood in front of my son. I raised my brow at her and gave the infamous Olivia North glare at her. She just smirked and mouth "I'll see Nick next time." Then winked at me.

Oh how I want to slap her face. No, she will not get Niccolo to sleep with her. He's not like other men. He's far from them.

I felt Nick held my waist and whispered, "You're sexy when you're territorial." I looked at him disbelief.

"I was not being territorial." I said and took Dylan's hand so we can walk away from his dad.

The rest of our day went fine until this one paparazzi asked Nick about me cheating on him with a German guy. What the frick was that? Nick got mad and he was going to punch the guy but I stopped him in doing so.

We immediately entered his car and I held her hand. "Don't waste your time fighting them. They're not worth it."

"But their building up fake news about you again." He said angrily and Dylan startled when he hit the steering wheel.

"Daddy, are you mad? Was it because I ran at the mall awhile ago?" Dylan asked quietly.

I faced him immediately and spoke.

"No baby, daddy's not mad at you. Don't worry, okay." I said to ease his worry.

"Yup, daddy's mad. I am mad because some people tell lies about your mommy. What did I say about the people who tell lies?" Nick spoke in an agitated voice.

"They're bad people, daddy." Dylan asnwered him and I just got tongue tied.

"And you know what happens to bad people? They got punished." Nick stated angrily and started the car.

"Nick, stop getting angry. Don't let them get to you. That's how they work, they provoke you to get the reaction they wanted from you. So stop it, get the off your head." I said carefully, he was deep shit mad. He's ignoring me right now because he's in his own little world. Oh boy. I've seen this before from my dad and Zac, and it was so damn scary.

"Niccolo, don't tell me you'll fight them?" I asked worried.

"Oh no, that's petty." He said it without an ounce of emotion. Geeze, this was the first time I saw him like that and it was frightened not for me, but for the person who will receive his wrath.
