Olivia Barnett POV

“I told you, I can’t love you. Even before I married you, I made it clear. So don’t expect me to have some feelings for you.”

I smiled bitterly. Josh did not even mince words. He gave it to me straight, aimed right at my heart, to maim me.

If it had been before, the declaration would

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 105. Skin You Alive

    Josh Morgan SterlingI watched in frustration as Olivia walked away from me. She did not even let me argue my case. She already accepted Grandpa’s decision like what she had been doing in the past.Then, I glared at Grandpa’s door. I can’t antagonize him further, or he will make me pay double.I sighed in resignation.I thought I had already convinced her. I thought it was just a matter of time before I could have my wife and children back in my arms, but Grandpa Jonathan destroyed all that.To think that he was my grandfather. My flesh and blood. And he turned against me?My nostrils flared in annoyance. Grandpa is really testing my patience. But right now, my hands are tired. Even though I feel as if I had been bested by my grandfather, I still believe that he has a point.My eyes narrowed into slits when I remembered what he showed us back there.Instead of tailing Olivia, I called Lucas, my friend and legal counsel.He answered on the second ring.“I had been expecting your call.”

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 104. Stew Alone

    Olivia Barnett POV“I will,” Josh promised.Grandpa looked at him contemptuously.“From now on, Olivia and the children are going to stay with me. If you want to see them. You may, but under my supervision.”Josh looked at Grandfather Jonathan like he had grown another head. The frown creasing his forehead showed he was not in agreement with the rules Grandpa had laid out.“You can’t do this, Grandpa. They are my family. They should stay with me.”But Grandpa, it seemed, had already made up his mind. No amount of insistence on Josh’s side can dissuade Grandpa from his earlier pronouncements.“Let’s not argue, Josh. I only wanted to protect your family.” The finality in Grandpa’s tone sent Josh off.“From me?” Josh could not believe his ears.“I am Olivia’s wife. I am the triplets’ father. I should have a say on their living arrangements.”But his argument only fell on deaf ears. As in the past, when they were at odds, there is no middle ground between Grandpa and Josh. Each is insisti

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 103. Do It Before It's Too Late

    Olivia Barnett POVWhen I got back to the suite’s living area, I was surprised to find it empty. But then, I heard girls’ giggles inside Grandpa Jonathan’s room and guessed the children must have gotten inside with Josh.The door was slightly ajar, and I could hear tidbits of their conversation. My girls are over the moon as they report to their great-grandfather what has been going on in our family so far.“We have good news!”“Mommy and Daddy are no longer fighting.”“They kissed!” Zoe added excitedly.I thought the news would please Grandpa, but as it turned out, the hand that gently stroked Ivy’s head stilled.Something is wrong. I could feel it from the sudden tension in the air.I decided to make my presence known. I opened the door, and all occupants turned simultaneously in my direction.“Mommy!” The children chorused.Grandpa met my gaze with a serious expression. Then, he turned to the children and asked them to go back to their room for a while because he wanted to talk to

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 102. It Will Get Better Everyday

    Amee WilsonThe first thing I noticed when Olivia and I got inside the suite was a very busy, very harassed Josh Morgan Sterling while he tried to kowtow to the whims and demands of his three children.He was less immaculate now than when I first met him at Sterling Enterprises, but he looked happy.Gone was the frown that seemed to have been formally creased on his forehead. And there was a ready smile on his face while he interacted with Leo, Ivy, and Zoe.I cannot even fathom how he could be grinning when Zoe had her meltdown because her father can’t perfect her braid the way Olivia does.As I expected, Olivia took in the scene and pulled the whistle from her jacket pocket that she brings all the time to rein the children in when they become unruly.“Prrrtttt!” The whistle interrupted the father and his brood.At the sound, the children automatically became alert.“Mommy!” The triplets chorused.Their backs went ramrod straight at the sight of their mother.“What’s going on? Leo, I

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 101. Silence For Peace

    Amee WilsonI heard Olivia’s hurried footsteps. Its rhythm pulsed together with my heart.She stopped when she was near me. “Are you okay?” The worried expression on her face washed out all the anger that simmered within me, replaced by gratitude for her timely interference.If she hadn’t come. I bet Zeke and I would have been embroiled in a showdown by now.Just thinking about it made me feel embarrassed. I almost stepped out of line with proper decorum.Yes, Zeke hurt me. But it does not mean that I have to stoop to his level to be able to send my message across. Or to inflict the same pain he had given me.That’s not how life works.Sometimes, silence is the most painless retaliation one could muster.If one maintains composure under pressure, that is pure class.There is this classic story about focus and resilience. It says there that you cannot always control the chaos, noise, or negativity happening around you, but you have complete control over what you choose to focus on.And

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 100. Saved By An Angel

    Amee Wilson POVMy conversation with Olivia kept ringing in my ears. I stroked my belly gently, and in my head, I kept asking my child for forgiveness.I shouldn't have been rushed and given in to my emotions.If Olivia had not intervened at the right moment, I would have lost my baby. And I would have suffered a lifetime of regret because of it.Being alone and pregnant was never a weakness.I can do this. I thought with conviction.Again, I gently stroked my belly and decided that the first thing I needed to do was to tender my resignation to the head office, effective immediately.Cutting ties with Zeke is my first order of the day.
