Olivia Barnett POV

I saw the panic in his eyes and felt immense satisfaction. Of course, Josh always wanted to be in control of the situation, and now that he realized he was losing it, his careful veneer snapped.

Josh grabbed me by the elbow to pull me inside the conference room, away from the prying eyes of the people occupying the executive office.

There was something about fear that made even the most careful person slip. And that’s what I saw in his actions.

He lost his subtlety. His fines

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 95. Like A Man Needed His Woman

    Josh Morgan Sterling POVThe moment she stepped out of the hospital suite, I knew I messed up.I shook my head, regret washing over me at the realization that I failed her.I wanted to knuckle my head. There was no explanation to how I had acted. Why was it so hard to just admit it? Why can’t I just say it?But I was afraid. I was scared stiff she wouldn’t believe a word.I had hurt her too many times in the past. Would she still believe me when I tell her that I love her? That I had always loved her.Disgust for myself filled me. I stepped back, muscles tensing as self-loathing filled me. “Daddy? Why is Mommy crying?” Zoe asked.I shut my eyes. My heart sank at the realization that the kids saw everything. They saw their mother’s pain, something which I caused.I felt little hands pulling at my sleeves. I looked down at Zoe’s frowning face and realized that I can’t let this go on. I can’t let Olivia misunderstand me all the time.“You are a coward, Daddy!” I felt ashamed when

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 94. Practice Makes Perfect

    Olivia Barnett POVThree pairs of little black eyes stared into us. Josh and I faced each other awkwardly at having been caught doing the nasty. Ugh!Josh groaned in frustration. It was what I felt, too, though I was ashamed to admit it because that would be confronting feelings I had long buried in the deepest parts of me. That was how I survived the last five years. I stopped being a woman because three little human beings needed me first. They needed a mother, not someone pining for a love lost.My pain, the betrayal, the loneliness, I had swept them all under the bed so I could focus on my task as a mother. Nothing else mattered but my children. They are my first priority.“Daddy, are you kissing mommy?” Zoe’s question broke into my thoughts. I had not realized that in my preoccupation with the past, the silence dragged around us. I looked at my daughter. She was staring at her father wide-eyed, a smile of approval curving her lips. “Do you love our Mommy?” Leo asked. This

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 93. What Are You Doing?

    Olivia Barnett POVI was surprised. I didn’t know that he was eavesdropping. What did he hear? Did he hear us talking about Daisy?“Josh!” I cried in surprise.But what was astounding was the way he copied my earlier reaction when I confronted Grandpa Jonathan.“What? Not being cautious today?”He even used the exact same word I used.He really did eavesdrop on us.My cheeks felt like there was an ongoing fire in there. I was stumped, frozen on the spot, unable to speak. Tongue-tied.There are certain moments in the years that I had known him that J

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 92. You Have Me

    Olivia Barnett POV"Grandpa!" I cried askanced. "What do you plan for me to do?"Granda beckoned with his hand and I pulled my chair to lean closer to his bed."Make my grandson jump on loops." He whispered.I stared at him, trying to gauge his mood. His clear, direct eyes told me he was serious.My eyes grew a little wider in disbelief."You wanted me to make things hard for Josh? He is your grandson. Your flesh and blood."But nothing could dissuade Grandfather when he sets his mind unto a task."The triplets are also my flesh and blood. I want their father to be worthy

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 91. Make You and Me Proud

    Olivia Barnett POVMy brows arched. “Five years? You only hurt me five years ago?” I tried to make it light. After all, time has a way of making us see the past in perspective. Besides, we had been arguing all day and all night about this. It’s time for a break. Josh seemed to understand where I was coming from. His chuckle made the whole situation lighter. Everyone felt relieved.Josh, and especially the children, looked relaxed, too.And my boy. Leo looked like he was the first person who needed a resolution from both his parents. Among my children, he seemed to be the most affected, having been born a male. He took it upon himself to grow up so fast. At four years old, he already understood the concept of protecting his siblings and me. “Right. I hurt you even before that.” He agreed, nodding his head.I nodded, too because if my memory serves me right, Josh hurt me long before he married me. But I can’t pin all the blame on him during those times. I believed I was partly to

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 90. I am Sorry, Wife

    Olivia Barnett POVSince I came back here with the children, he never failed to protect me. He had been proud in announcing to anyone who cared to listen who I am to his life. Not just as the mother of the children, but his wife.My breath hitched.Words got stuck in my throat.I stared at Josh and was shocked to find that he was staring right into my face.I bit my lip in a sudden attack of nervousness.Not because I was moved all of a sudden, but more because in all honesty, I really don’t know what to do or how to react.“Just kiss him, please, babe!” Lucy shouted from our table. She was smiling. Her ey

    Olivia Barnett POVThe next morning, even before the first rays of sunlight appeared, I woke Lucy so we could go.She looked surprised when her eyes ran over me. It was probably because I had already taken off my hospital gown and was dressed in my clothes from the day before.Lucy got up, yawning.

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 10. Almost

    Olivia POVI turned around to leave. I can’t have Josh realize that I already discovered his wicked, dark secret. My gut twisted painfully. My stomach churned at what I had just witnessed. I ran back to the restroom, straight to the sink. I vomited what I had for dinner. All of it. While my stomac

    Olivia Barnett POV“No.” The denial came off my lips so quickly, but because I lied, I could not look at Josh’s face without feeling guilty, so I avoided looking.When I dared sneak a peek, I noticed he was not convinced. He stared at me, debating in his head whether to believe me or not.“Well, the
