Chapter 341
OLIVIA
Something was happening | could feel it, | might not have known what it was at the time, but | knew something
was up. obviously, | was curious to know what it was and if it meant danger to us and if we would have to move
again. Which | didn’t want.
First, it was Lupita who just left with Nick, | understood that they needed to spent ttogether and | didn’t have
problem with her leaving. Ethan was witheven thought he was drunk out of his mind and passed out on my
couch. He was there, | felt safe.
My husband was around as well as my dad. The kids and | were perfectly fine. But my husband and dad left in a
hurry without saying a word to me. He only senta text when he had already left, meaning he was worried
that | might be worried if he toldwhere he was going to my face.
That was not a problem foreither because there was security in the house and Xander was locked up. Things
were quiet or was | fooling myself. which | believed | was judging from the way they looked when they came
back.
All of them, my dad, my husband and Lupita. It was like they had a secret they didn’t wantto know about. Of
course, | was curious again, but | held it in. “Lupita, do you want stea or wine? We haven't spent time
together and | feel like we need it.”
She gavea look | didn’t understand, it was like she was looking at an enemy for a second there but then that
look was gone. | couldn't blher thought because | too acted the sway sometimes.
Especially if | had a nightmare and Marcus wokeup. | would still be seeing Xander in his face until the sleep
clears from my eyes. “I will take wine please.” If she wanted wine, that could only mean one thing, she was
distressed, and | felt guilty.
| took my son and myself to therapy, but | never asked her if she needed to see one. She went through the same
thing | did and was as traumatized as much as | was if not more. She did lose her grandmother because of that
incident.
I handed her a glass of wine then took a seat next to her. “Lupita, | never asked this but, do you need to see a
therapist? | know you went through the sthing I did, | know how strong you are but there might be
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsomethings you would like to get off your chest but not to me. to a professional who will help you make sense of
everything.”
| felt like the most selfish person in the world, | didn’t think of Lupita because she always appeared strong, but |
forgot that even the strongest of people do go through hard times. | shouldn't have known that better than
anyone.
“I am sorry | took so long to ask, | think | got fooled by the fact that you are always so strong and taking care of
everything and fixing things for everyone. When a person is like that, we tent to forget that they get hurt too and
through hard times. | am sorry for forgetting that.”
Lupita didn’t reply for a while only focusing on her wine. | even thought she was angry and with reason if she
was. Eventually, after what felt like forever, she placed the glass on the table and looked at me.
“Thank you, Olivia. | appreciate you offering, now that | think about it, | do need to see someone. | have been
angry, a lot and might have done or said something that influenced someone else to do something bad because
of my anger.”
I was taken back, what could she have done, who could she have influenced? Was it Nick and what did he do?
That gotworried, but | wasn’t about to pry. If she wantedto know, she would have told me.
“Then | will give you my doctor's number or you can look for your own doctor and we will pay.” She filled her

glass again, she must have been really stressed, Lupita never drank more than one glass of wine.

Or maybe, | had put so much responsibility on her that she never had the chance to just unwind and enjoy
herself. Had | been selfish that whole tshe had been with us? | felt bad. “How about shopping? Retail therapy
always works to make us feel a little better. | know it’s not permanent, but | don’t want us being depressed.”
| always said Lupita was like a sister | never had but | had been treating her like an employee all along. | might
have taken her everywhere | went but that was for the kids, it was never about her enjoying herself wherever we
went.
‘Just has your mind been at, Olivia?’ | felt so guilty.
“Let's do that tomorrow, right now, | would like to take a nap, if that is okay with you.” | quickly nodded feeling
like the biggest fool in the world. “Yes, of course, you don’t have to ask and don’t worry about the kids. Take your
time.”
She stood and left. | was left feeling

He shifted uncomfortably on his seat. “We haven't been treating her life family at all, not giving her tto do
the things she likes, going out on her own, enjoying her life, we even put restrictions for the man she likes. What
kind of people are we?”
