Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

ETHAN

"Where are you going so early in the morning?" Emily asked, I had been waiting for so long, well, some would say three days was not a long time, but it was for me. I had asked my lawyer to sort out Samuel's birth certificate for me so I could give it to Olivia now that it had arrived. I couldn't wait to give to her.

I wanted to see the look on her face when she saw it, how happy she would be and, she would realise just I how sorry I was for what I had done to her. "I am going to the Walker mansion." Emily didn't look pleased by my response.

I wish she and Olivia could both understand how important they were to me. I wanted them to get along so I could stop being in the middle. I got where Luke was coming from and why he said what he said but I wasn't ready to give up my relationship with Olivia.

The two of us had come a long way for us to part like that, I still valued our friendship and wanted to keep going with her.

"Do you have to go this early?" I didn't know why she was still at my place. I enjoyed her company, and I liked spending time with her. but I needed my space sometime and not to be questioned when I stepped out of the house.

"The earlier I got, the sooner I will return." I took my keys and headed to the door. "Ethan, are you sure there has never been anything between you and Olivia?" I stopped in my tracks. I wished there were because then, I wouldn't have had to explain myself all the time.

"I will not dignify that with an answer." I walked out, got into the car, and drove off. I realised on the way that the way I responded to her might make her think I had feelings for Olivia that went beyond friendship.noveldrama

I called her, it rang a couple of times before her voice came online. "Am sorry." Silence followed my words, she was offended. "I didn't mean to offend you. I am just trying to keep the people in my life and keep the peace. Olivia and I had been at odds for a while now and I want it to stop. And no, there has never been anything between us."

She sighed, "It's just that you and Nick care about her so much. I understand Nick, he was her husband and still has lingering feelings for her. but I don't understand you. your attachment to her and it makes me jealous."

I knew she was jealous, and I didn't want her to be. I wanted her to be safe with me and not worry that I might leave her someday. "You have no reason to worry or to be jealous, Olivia and I are just friends nothing more."

Yes, I had a crush on her but that had been gone a long time ago. I couldn't tell Emily that either as she would think I still had something for Olivia every time I would do something for her or when I visited Samuel.

That could cause issues in our relationship, and I didn't want that. "You are the only woman for me, Emily, I don't want you to forget that, and I need you to trust me." I understood the jealousy, Olivia seemed as if she didn't like Emily when they first met and that still haunted my woman.

I had no parents, Nick and Olivia were my family. Her not getting along with someone that important to me, might make her

you also, I won't be here when you get back. I am going to my place."

uncomfortable. "Okay, I will ine

Oh, thank the Lord, I didn't know how married people did it, but being with someone also the time was exhausting. I need space to breathe.

"Alright, I will come and check on your later, Okay." I then cut the call as I drove into the Walker mansion.

I met Marcus at the door just as I was about to knock. "Hey man, what are you doing here?" where the hell was, he going that early? "I should be asking you, where are you going?" he gestured to his clothes, and I didn't see anything wrong with them.

"I am going to work Ethan, why are you here." Oh, did he still go to work? I didn't know he went back. "To see my son and your wife." He frowned. "I can go later." I chuckled.

Why was e working any way. He had people taking care of business, he didn't need to go to work and yet, there he was going to work. "I have questions." He raised an eyebrow. "Why are you running to work?"

He shrugged. "My wife doesn't seem to like having me around all the time now. so, I go to work to give her the space she needs." I knew they couldn't possibly endure being with each other all the time. It was too much.

"I get it, Emily has been with me since we got back together and it's driving me crazy." He laughed. "Wow, it's good to see you like this, I never though I would get to talk to

your guys about women other than

my wife."

I laughed, who knew. "Well, you should have warned me and told me it was not all roses and happiness. That there was jealousy and mood swings." Marucs laughed so much. He was right, that did feel good.

"Then we wouldn't be having this conversation if I did, and I would have missed out." I laughed and he opened the door and we both walked in laughing. “Love, I thought you left, did you forget something!"

Olivia yelled from the other side and when she came to view, she stopped in her tracks looking between me and her husband.

"Sorry, I met Marcus at the door, and we got talking. By the way, I came to give you this and to say am sorry." I handed her the envelope.

She opened it, looked at the document then without a word, she turned and left. "What did you give her?" asked Marcus. "Samuel's birth certificate."
