Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

OLIVIA

I slept well that night, so well that I even slept in. I had no worry that it could be my last night as a free woman and sleeping on a comfortable bed. I didn’t sleep well since Nick disappeared because the detective was on my case threatening me about jail. I would stay up at night unable to sleep thinking about different scenarios of me in prison. noveldrama

I didn’t know what I was going to be like this time around, but I knew enough about prison to know that it was not going to be a walk on the park. I also, know that this time. I was going to be many years before I could see the sun again. The thought of my son visiting me in jail killed me. I wouldn’t sleep after that.

Even though Marcus was not talking to me, he would wake up and take me into his arms without saying a word. I think that was his way of telling me that he was there for me and that I was safe. That I had nothing to worry

about.

I woke up and sat there looking at the ceiling and thinking about how fucked up my life almost got. The door to my room opened and Marcus walked in. “Good afternoon.” I did sleep in and woke up at noon. “Your father made lunch, come on.” I frowned when he mentioned Luke, especially that he was my father.

Also, I thought he was going to leave, I left them still talking and drinking and went to bed. I didn’t know he slept over. “Don’t frown, you already don’t look good when you wake up.” He teased and I laughed throwing a pillow at him. “Am serious, you already took that first step yesterday and called him dad. Why not give him a chance?”

I didn’t know if having Luke in my life was a good idea. He was a mafia kingpin after all, and I didn’t want his behaviour rubbing off on my son. “Olivia?” I snapped out of it. “It’s alright, I am getting up, and I will join you soon.” He came and kissed my forehead before leaving the room.

A sigh left me then I got up and went to shower before joining them in the dining room for lunch. “You look much better than yesterday.” Luke complimented. “Nothing a good night sleep can’t fix, I guess.” He nodded. ” Samuel?” I asked, I missed my son.

The way he and Lupita were always out made it seem like they don’t even live in the house. “Went out with Ethan.” I frowned. Why would he be out with Ethan? “Olivia, it’s like you have amnesia, Samuel knows Ethan as his father and when he wants to spend time with him then that is what will happen.”

He sounded annoyed or was it just me who was over thinking. “Why are you keeping up this act? Nick is not going to do anything to you and telling him about his son will not change anything.” I threw a glare at him; how could he know that. did he know what I have been through with that man?

He placed his utensils on the side and looked at me. “Olivia, I know you have your reasons for not telling Nick about his son and not telling your son about him too. But that man loves that boy and standing in the way of their relationship might not be a good idea. Take it from me, I know.”

What did he know really. “It’s not the same and you know it you stayed away because you were a cow…” I stopped myself before I called him names. “Say it, I stayed away because I was a coward. But it is more complicated than that. you might think or see me as a monster, but Elodie’s father was the devil himself. Why in the hell do you think he got you tortured in jail when you did nothing to him?”

He stood and went to stand by the window looking out. “You might think I wanted to stay away because I was a coward and maybe I was. But I was not about to risk the devil getting to you just to I could satisfy my selfish need to be with you. if not wanting any harm to come to you is being a coward, then I was the biggest/one of them all.“.

He spoke with his back still on us. “But you staying away didn’t help in the end. He still got to me and hurt me,” he nodded his head. “You are alive, are you not?” that hurt, so that meant his father hurting me was fine as long as I was alive.

“You don’t know the kind of life the don led. If you think what he did was cruel then be happy you didn’t get to see and experience the rest of it. you are alive Olivia, and I am grateful for that because you get to be with your son. You get to see him grow and you get to give him your love. Be grateful he didn’t kill you and only took parts of you.”

What he said may have been the truth, but it was still hard to swallow. “You see, the don didn’t need me to make contact with you but the moment he knew I was looking into your imprisonment and the moment he saw the news about you, he acted, to protect his grandson.”

He laughed, “The don was a monster and the only reason he didn’t kill you is still because of Nick. He just wanted to punish you, but he couldn’t kill you because he too saw how much he loved you, as much as the don could not see or talk to Elodie. As much as he knew that she was not his biological daughter, he still regarded Nick as his grandson.”

He turned back to me. “You should be grateful to Nick for his love and affection because they kept you alive when a monster wanted you dead. I found out later what was happening and acted but If he wanted to kill you, you would have been dead by the time I found out. Think about that the next time you see your son. Think about the fact that his father is the reason you are able to be with him today.”

He then took his jacket and walked out. I was pissed. “What the hell is he saying? That I must thank Nick for what he did?”

“I don’t think that is what he Is saying, and you know it. I understand what he is saying as much as Nick hurt you you are still alive today about to be my wife because of him!
