What to believe?

“Your little friend Lynda had left a surprise for Ryan on your behalf, so any dream of him searching for you is simply hopeless,” she spits and ends with a laugh, and without warning, my hormones take over. “You liar, I know Ryan is looking for me,” and that was it. She drops her gun and immediately starts beating me with her hands, and the only thing I can possibly do is scream and protect my belly at all costs.

“You forgot your place, Monique, and I'm more than glad to remind you,” she says, drawing back her hand and tucking away her gun before leaving. I sniffle and crunch into the fetal position while holding my baby bump as pain soars through my body. “I'm so sorry, my little one; we’ll get out of here soon.”

Was Olivia really telling the truth? Did Lynda do something to sabotage my rescue? But why would Jermaine have tortured her? I should've let her tell me everything. Argh.
