Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 128
NICK“Olivia’s wedding is in two weeks.” I ignored Ethan, I knew he only wanted a reaction out of me, but I was not going to give him the satisfaction. “She looks happy, it’s been a while since I last saw her smiling so much. Marcus must be doing something right.” Still, I said nothing. “What do you think Nick?”I stood and went to stand by the window. We were in my office working on a deal. Since I decided to stop bothering Olivia while she was with Marcus, I threw myself into my work and have spent most days and nights in that office.It was starting to feel like before, when Olivia was in jail and all I could do was work. “Nick am talking to you.” he complained, I turned to him. “What do you want me to say Ethan, weren’t you the one who told me to let her be happy with Marcus, so, why do you care what I think about her wedding?”He just looked at me. “It’s okay to be upset about it man, telling you to stop bothering her didn’t mean you must forget her altogether. You have not seen

NICKI sat there and watched my mother leave after dropping such a bomb on me. I didn’t know if I should take what she said seriously or as just rumblings of an old and frustrated woman still grieving the loss of her husband. As a son, I should be listening to my mother and trying to make her life easy.But my mother was like no other, she was no ordinary woman and even the way she spoke one could tell that she wasn’t the housewife everyone knew her to be. Mother had mafia blood running through her veins and even when I want to ignore some of the things she says, it’s hard to because of her background.I might ignore them only to regret it later when she acts on them. “Tell me what is on your mind?” Ethan brought me back from my thoughts. I looked at my friend and he had this look I couldn’t decipher on his face.“I don’t know what to make of the threat my mother just…” I shook my head no longer able to continue with what I was saying. I wished I remained ignorant to everything that s

OLIVIAIt’s the day of the wedding and I couldn’t sleep a wink last night. I didn’t remember myself being that nervous on my wedding day with Nick. What was different about this one? I tried; God knows I tried. I drank warm milk, camomile tea but none of that worked. I was still up at two in the morning not able to sleep.I couldn’t pinpoint exactly why. Now Lupita was mad at me because I didn’t want to wake up and get ready. She was complaining about being late and all that. but a bride is always late, what’s new? “Olivia!” I wished she would stop coming into my room and trying to wake me up every five minutes and let me get the sleep I need then I can wake up.“Call Marcus and tell him to move the start time by an hour or so because I am not going to rock up there with bags under my eyes.” I complained turning to the other side and sleeping some more. My eyes were heavy with sleep that I found Lupita annoying for trying to deprive me of it.I head footsteps moving away and a smiled

OLIVIAI 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?” I called his name.“My heart.” My own heart boomed in my ears when h

NICKI sat in the church wearing my best suit attending the wedding. I thought I could do it, I thought I could sit there and watch her marry someone else. But I was only lying to myself. because the problem started when she didn’t show up on time, I kept checking the security cameras at my place hoping to see her in one of them.I was happy she didn’t show because to me that told me that she didn’t want to marry someone else. That there was still a chance for us. While Marcus was going crazy and going off at Ethan to do his fucking job as the best man and find her. I was happy with my legs crossed. Happy that the bastard didn’t win after all.That there was a chance for me with her after all. All hope left me when Ethan came back and told him that she was outside. The smile on his face killed the one I had on mine. My heart broke in an instant, but I still told myself that I could do it, that I could sit there and let her be happy with him. but how could i?And then she appeared from

OLIVIAAs soon as they left, Marcus loosened his tie then took off his jacket, shoes, pants, everything. “I am sorry about what happened. I didn’t know he never filed the papers.” He paid me no mind as he threw everything he was wearing on the chair. “Do you want me to help you out of that dress?” I shook my head in the negative.He nodded then headed towards the bathroom. Before he entered, he turned to me. “It better be off when I come out.” My eyes widened, he turned and got into the bathroom closing the door behind him. soon, I heard the shower running and I sighed sitting on the bed.Fucking Nick Jones! Who the hell did I wrong in my past life to end up with him? the man knew how to fuck up my life like he had a manual on it. one could even say he was a subject matter expert in that. he was good, really good. I don’t even remember why I loved him in the first place.Did I even know him? I don’t know how long I sat there for, but I was brought back by the bathroom door opening and

NICKWhen we got to my place, I threw myself on the couch while Ethan poured us something to drink. He handed me mine then sat opposite me. He kept glancing at me with a smile on his face. I knew he wanted to say something, but I wasn’t going to ask. If he wanted to say something, then he would say it.“So?” there we go, my friend could not keep his mouth shut for anything. I raised an eyebrow just waiting for something stupid to come out of his mouth. “My friend is back, and I am happy.” I furrowed my eyebrows, that was unexpected. “Look man, I know you have done a lot of shit to your wife, and I have done some shit to you as well. But...?” he paused taking another sip from his glass.“I am happy to see that the man I know is still there, the one who fought for what he believed in and one who loved his wife more than anything in this world.” I really didn’t expect that, I felt it. “Thanks man, but this fighting will be for nothing if she doesn’t come back to me.” he stood and went to

NICKEthan clicked his tongue on the side, I had forgotten that he was there while I was having a heart to heart with my mother. “What is the matter with you, can’t you see that we are talking about something important here, what are you even doing here?” mother was annoyed. But I didn’t think she was annoyed by Ethan but by the fact that she was not getting her way.“I am here for my friend but let’s not get side tracked here, Nick, did you forget that this woman, your mother, can’t be trusted?” now he was pissing me off and it showed on my face when I sent a glare his way. He lifted his hands up in surrender.“I don’t mean to upset you, and I don’t mean to diminish what just happened here. You two making up and clearing things up is good and all but that only works if your mother is telling the truth. Let’s face it, your mother has not exactly been a fan of Olivia since, w

OLIVIAIt had been two days since Xander left, two days without food or water. My body had grown weaker with each passing hour, and I could feel every ache in my bones, every crack in my spirit. But there was a small sliver of hope amidst the physical torment: the sedative he had used to paralyze me was finally starting to wear off. I could feel a slight tingle in my legs when I pinched them hard, nothing much, but enough to give me the faintest glimmer of relief. Soon, I would be able to move again.That is, if I didn’t collapse from thirst and hunger first.The worst part of being in that hellhole wasn't the paralysis. It was the silence. The uncertainty. I had no way of knowing if it was day or night. Time had ceased to exist in that dark, suffocating tomb, and with each passing moment, I felt like I was slipping further from reality. I was literally buried alive, a prisoner in a catacomb of stone, with no one to help me, no one to hear
Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 252
NICKLuke’s face changed from shocked to anger very quickly. “Tell him, tell the moron where we are!” he bellowed throwing his hands in the air. “How could this moron do something like this? I am the only one who is supposed to do things like these. You boys are supposed to keep your hands clean!” he paced the room.He was frustrated. “Since when did Marcus become worse than me in things like these, just what the hell is wrong with him?” he said to no one in particular. I didn’t know if he was just frustrated or a little impressed by his son in law. He turned to me with a glare. “What the hell are you waiting for? Do you want him to bomb more cities before you tell him where the hell we are?”I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Just moments ago, Luke had been telling me to keep everything from Marcus, and now, here I was, being blamed for not telling him where we were fast enough. It felt like I had no place to stand, caught between a rock and a hard place. But it wasn’t the time t
Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 251
ETHANThe moment Nick hung up the phone, his face shifted, his expression unreadable. It was as if all the colour drained from him in an instant, his skin paling in a way that I had never seen before. I had been around Nick long enough to know that he was no stranger to bad news, but this? This was different. It was as if something beyond our worst fears had just been set in motion.We had already been living through the chaos, Luke, Xander, Olivia’s disappearance, and now, the kids were safe with us. That much, at least, had been a small mercy in the storm. But Nick looked like he had just been hit with the weight of something even worse, something that none of us could prepare for. My mind raced, trying to figure out what could possibly be so bad. And then it hit me. Could it be…? No, it couldn’t be.Before I could make sense of it, I moved closer to Nick, my concern deepening. I needed to make sure that whatever was going through his mind wasn’t as bad as I feared. Leaning in, I wh
Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 250
NICKI had been holding onto the hope that once Xander showed up, everything would fall into place. That the mess would be cleaned up, and we could put an end to the nightmare that had been plaguing us.Luke and Xander reached some sort of agreement, at least, that’s what I gathered, but the specifics were still hazy in my mind. Luke had told Xander to bring Olivia, or he would destroy his father’s remains.What exactly that meant, I wasn’t sure. It felt like a vague threat, but the tension in the air told me it wasn’t just idle talk. Xander responded with some sort of counter-deal, loaded with things I couldn't follow. Honestly, I was drained. I didn’t care about the details anymore. I just wanted this whole nightmare to be over. But Xander wasn’t backing down, and neither was Luke.Luke had his men tail Xander. And, as expected, Xander went straight to the hotel. He wasn’t trying to outsmart anyone or go off the grid. He was playing by his own set of rules, one that I didn’t fully u
Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 249
XANDERI was about to take the biggest gamble of my life, and I knew it. Luke was offering me a choice, an impossible one. It was a trap, a setup where only he could win. The terms of his proposition were clear: there would be no chance for me to exact my revenge on him, and there was a very real possibility that I would lose my life in the process. But I wasn’t ready to die, not yet. Not when I had a son waiting for me, hoping I would make it back.I had to think fast. Luke had me cornered, but I couldn’t show him how much fear his words stirred inside me. I had to put on a face, act like I was in control, even if I wasn’t. It wasn’t just about surviving this moment; it was about finding a way out. I wasn’t going to let him win that easily.I stood tall, trying to exude confidence, even though inside I felt like a bundle of nerves. My heart hammered in my chest; my hands clenched into fists at my sides. I could feel the sweat starting to bead on my forehead. If I didn’t hold it toget
Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 248
XANDERFor the past few days, I had watched them stumble around in their futile attempts to track me down. Every morning, they would set out at dawn, and every night they would return empty-handed, their efforts wasted. It was amusing to me.They had no idea where to look, no real understanding of how to hunt someone like me. It was almost laughable. I had thought they were dangerous, but I quickly realized how wrong I was. There was nothing good about them, nothing that made them worthy of fear.Perhaps they just hadn’t met their match yet. Until now.Now, they had encountered me, and they knew they were nothing compared to what I was capable of. They were amateurs, playing a game they couldn’t win. But Olivia... she was another story. She surprised me. I had expected more resistance from her, some fight, some fire. But instead, she complied. She ate the food I gave her, barely muttering a word of protest. The silence was almost worse than anything. I could tell that the trauma from
Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 247
NICKThe island was still, too still. No one slept that night. Luke had kept busy with his men, the sound of his voice drifting through the halls, low and intense. I couldn’t make out the words, but I could tell they weren’t discussing anything good.Ethan had joined them; he was more involved than I would have liked. I had asked him to keep an eye on Luke, to make sure things didn’t escalate further. I didn’t trust Luke, not when he was like this, wild, unpredictable, the kind of man you couldn’t reason with once his mind was made up. He was like a caged animal finally set free, and I was terrified of what he might do to the people on this island. They were innocent; they didn’t deserve to be dragged into whatever madness Luke was planning.As for me, I was stuck dealing with the kids. I tried to keep my mind occupied, tried to push away the dread gnawing at me. But before anything, I knew I had to prepare. I organized money, lots of it. It felt like I was bracing for something big.
Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 246
NICKIt had been three days since Olivia disappeared, the longest, most agonizing three days of our lives. Every day felt like a never-ending loop of despair. We woke up, checked the rooms, scoured the island, hoping to find some trace of her. But no matter how much we searched, it was as if she had vanished into thin air. There was no sign of a struggle, no indication that she had left the room, and absolutely no lead to follow. It was like she was swallowed up by the earth itself.The island wasn’t that large, and it seemed impossible that someone could just disappear like that. But here we were, endlessly combing through every corner, every inch of the place, but we kept coming up empty. It felt like we were chasing ghosts. The stress, the exhaustion, the hunger, none of it was helping our situation. It wasn’t that we didn’t have food. We had plenty of food. But none of us could bring ourselves to eat.The nanny we had hired to take care of the kids, a kind woman, had been cooking
Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 245
OLIVIAThe tears wouldn't stop. I was completely numb to the pain in my feet, but the sight of Xander meticulously cutting and removing my toenails sent waves of horror and helplessness through me. I had no idea whether toenails grew back after they were surgically removed in such a brutal way, but the thought of it made my stomach churn.“Please…” I sobbed, my voice breaking as I pleaded with him. The tears streamed down my face, unable to stop. I wasn’t sure what was worse, the pain I couldn’t feel or the torment of watching him work so calmly, so coldly. It was as though he had done this a thousand times before. The sight of the tiny toenails being placed in a small, neat box made my breath catch in my throat.“Why are you doing this?” I gasped between sobs, barely able to force the words out. It felt like my whole body was shaking, though the numbness in my feet made it hard to tell if that was real or just my mind frantically trying to escape the horror.Xander didn’t even flinch
