Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

Chapter 0132

OLIVIA

I couldn’t tell how I was feeling, I didn’t know if it was anger or disappointment. Silence fell in the church after his words. “Nick, this is not the time for you to play games Ethan said taking a few steps in his direction, but Nick paid him no mind. The bastard kept his eyes on me the whole time and I on him.

“Is the gentleman telling the truth?” asked the priest, I didn’t know what made him think that anyone would be paying attention to him. “Nick?” Ethan called his name, and I kept my eyes on him waiting for him to say it was only a joke, a delay tactic, whatever. I just wanted him to say something to clear the whole mess up.

“Nick, man, sit down. We don’t have all day; I want to make this woman my wife.” It was Marcus who spoke this time. But still Nick didn’t pay him any mind, he kept his eyes on me. that was when I knew that nothing either one of the men said, he was not going to answer them. “Nick?” called his name.

“My heart.” My own heart boomed in my ears when he called me that, I didn’t know what was happening. “Am sorry.” When he said that, I didn’t know what to say or how to feel. My head buzzed and I felt a little lightheaded.” What are you talking about, Nick? You and Olivia are divorced, and it has been some time now. So, please just sit down and let us continue.”

Marcus didn’t get it; I knew Nick better than anyone and right at that time. He was not telling lies, for some reason he did believe that we were still married. I didn’t want to know what the reason was, I just wanted to get the hell out of there and for us to sort the whole mess somewhere else and away from these people, our guests.

“Nick!” Marcus was losing his patience, that was when I averted my eyes from Nick and turned to look at him. ” Let’s go to the hotel.” I whispered but he heard me, he raised an eyebrow but then nodded. “Everyone, if you could follow the lady back there, she will take you to the reception area, have a drink and eat some food. Thank you for your understanding.”

He then took my hand then turned to Nick. “Follow me, you too Ethan.” He then looked behind Nick and I saw Lupita getting up. I was grateful, she was going to take Samuel as we sort the whole thing out. Marcus glared at Nick who still had not taken his eyes off me. I followed Marcus out of the church as Ethan and Nick followed behind.

We got into the car and drove off to the hotel, I should have known that my happiness was not going to last long. Nothing of mine ever lasts. I was wondering when the other shoe would drop, and it just did. I just didn’t think it was going to drop on this day. Oh, Nick. He always did have the worst timing of all.

Starting from when he sent me to jail, and I was pregnant with our son. Now the moron didn’t even know his son very well because he was not fit in my eyes to be a father to him and he kept doing things to make me believe that I made the right decision.

When we got to the hotel, we went up to the honeymoon suite. Marcus must have booked it for us to spend the night after the wedding and before we left for our honeymoon. “What the fuck was that?” Marcus bellowed as soon as the door to the room closed.

Nick only kept his eyes on me even as he answered Marcus. I have always told you that she was my wife, always referred to her as such, it is not my fault that you didn’t listen.” I raised an eyebrow; I remember signing the divorce papers he gave me and that was a year ago.

“You are fucking divorced!” Marcus was angry and I was just numb. “You never signed or filed the divorce papers, did you?” Nick shook his head when I asked, and I just sighed and went to take a seat. I was exhausted.

He came and sat opposite me. “You asked me for a divorce, I was not ready for and It didn’t even cross my mind. I did a bad thing; in fact, I did many bad and painful things to you. but I always hoped that we would fix things and get back together. I had to give you those divorce papers because you kept asking about them, but it was never noveldrama

what I wanted.”

“Oh, Nick.” Ethan sounded defeated. I on the other hand was defeated. Nick just had to be in the middle of everything to do with me. Good or bad, the man was in the centre of it. “Am sorry, my heart. This was not meant to hurt you, but I couldn’t sign them. Olivia, I have loved you since the first time I laid my eyes on you and that time I didn’t even know who you were.”

He paused rubbing his hands together, something he did when he was nervous. “That day, when I saw you, I was ready to ghost the woman my mother was forcing me to marry and follow you. I was willing to risk everything for you and when you turned out to be the woman who was going to be my wife. My heart settled, the storm within settle and I was overcome by a sense of peace. I can’t let that go.”

Marcus chuckled. “Why did you wait until now to mention this little information, was it to humiliate me or Olivia, what did you hope to achieve, Nick?” I wanted to know the very same thing. “I thought I could let her go; I thought I would let her get married then sign and file the divorce papers. But I couldn’t, I just couldn’t.”

“You know what, get out. Get the fuck out of here, Nick!” Marcus bellowed. Ethan had been standing by the door silently looking at Nick. I didn’t know what was on his mind, but he looked pleased. “Olivia, could we please meet up and talk? Please, my heart. Just an hour of your time.”

He pleaded, if there was one thing I liked about Marcus, it was that he never interfered when something was directed at me, he let me make my own decisions. I looked at him and raised an eyebrow. I needed to make sure that he was okay with me talking to Nick, his feelings were hurt too.

“Sure, now please leave.”
