Another Family, His Promise, My Broken Body

Synopsis

After marrying Richard Stone, Olivia Keane endured five heartbreaking miscarriages, and it wasn't until the sixth pregnancy that she finally brought a son into the world. Every ounce of Olivia's love was devoted to this child, Lucas Stone. One day, as Olivia was dropping Lucas off at school like she always did, he suddenly spoke up. "I'm going to marry Nina when I grow up," Lucas said. Olivia asked, "Lucas, why would you say something like that?" Olivia was at a loss for words. Nina had Down syndrome and needed help with everything. Plus, both kids were still so little. How could Lucas think of such a thing? Lucas replied, "I heard Dad and Ms. Turner talking about it." Grace Turner was Nina Turner's mom, and she was also the wife of Richard's former best friend, Michael Foster. Olivia felt her anxiety rising. "What else did they say?" she asked. Lucas replied, "Dad said he has feelings for Ms. Turner and that he'll protect her forever." In that moment, it was like a bucket of ice water had been dumped over Olivia's head.
