Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 17
NICK“What are you standing there for? Go get me my daughter-in-law back, tell her you are sorry and that you will do better. Go, Nick, go now.” Said my mother hitting me over and over while crying. She loved Olivia and I didn’t like seeing her that way. But what else could I do when she didn’t want me? I was not going to force her to want me.I held her hands to stop her from hitting me, “Mom, she doesn’t want me going after her. you heard what she said. She wants a divorce and nothing I say will change her mind. I am sorry.” She cried even more freeing herself from my hold. It hurt, the way she looked at me was like she was looking at someone she despised.“Get out, get the hell out of my house Nick!” she screamed at me, I looked over at dad, but he just sat there as if nothing was happening. I knew then that I had done more than just disappoint my parents, I hurt them. “I am sorry mom.” She only glared at me and pointed at the door.I gave her a sad look before leaving. Ethan and O

NICKEthan said something that got me thinking. Everything else he said made sense and I regretted it. But I didn’t get why he would say I didn’t take care of my wife’s grandmother. I might have refused to see her because of how ashamed I was of facing her after sending Olivia to jail. But I did send money to her card every month.She should have been taken care of even with Olivia in jail, I never sent Olivia to jail so I could punish her grandmother. “Ethan, you know me man, do you think I didn’t take care of her grandmother? I sent her money every month for the past two years. I might not have gone to see her, but I did make sure that she had money to live a comfortable life.”“You sent her money, then why was she buried in an unmarked grave?”“I don’t know Ethan, the person who buried her might not have known that she had money in the bank.” To be fair, she might not have known herself that she had that kind of money in the bank. Olivia’s grandmother was an old person, and she didn

OLIVIAI didn’t expect to see Nick so soon after asking him for a divorce. I thought he brought the papers already when I saw him parked around the corner from my house. Only to find out that he was spying on me. he thought I was still the naïve Olivia he sent to jail to believe the lie he told me about passing by.I must admit though, my heart skipped a beat when I saw him and that happened because of one, I was scared that he brought the divorce papers. I don’t know why because I was the one who asked him for divorce. All I can say is that it was not easy letting go of someone I still had feelings for. Two, because I was afraid of how final divorce will make things.The divorce was not going to affect me alone but my son as well. Samuel is a boy, and he will one day want to know who his father is. I needed to be sure what to say to him when that day came. But I didn’t want to think about that, all I knew was that I wanted to be free from Nick.He hurt me too badly that I no longer sa

NICK“Gentlemen, if this is what I flew all the way from New Village for, then I am not impressed. We have a reputation to protect, and you bring me ideas like this? Do better!” I stood and fixed my suit jacket. I walked to the door but turned to the group. “I want to hear something better tomorrow and it better not be a waste of my time.”I then walked out of the boardroom, I have been there for two days now, and they were yet to give me something I could work with. Just because Jones’ enterprise was a big company did not mean we should relax, there was a lot of competition out there. “Sir, I have ordered your lunch, it’s in the room.”I went towards the elevator but then turned around. “I want to eat out today, I need the fresh air, I need to clear my mind and think. Take me to those beach front restaurants.” Olivia liked beach front restaurants. She like the breeze coming from the beach, she would close her eyes and feel it caressing her face gently as it passed. Like a gentle kiss

OLIVIAI was busy showing the guys where to hang a painting in the reception area when Nick came in looking like he was ready to murder someone. “Everyone out, now!” The guys scattered leaving me standing by the reception desk wondering what the hell got into the man to act like that.He slowly walked towards me with his eyes locked on me like I was his prey. The look in his eyes got me thinking back to prison, to how those animals in there used to look at me when they were about the beat the hell out of me.I shuddered. He stood a foot away from me still not saying anything but looking at me. I didn’t back down either, prison taught me to face bullies head on even when I knew I was out matched and outnumbered. “Do we have a child together.” My heart grew cold, and I could feel my hands shaking a little.But I didn’t avert my gaze from him, I knew he found out something, but I didn’t know what. I bailed my hands into fists with my nails digging in the palm of my hands. The pain stoppe

OLIVIAI stopped myself right in time before I let it slip that I lost my womb in prison and a year and four months of my son’s life. “Go on, Olivia. Tell me what you lost; I want to know.” I turned giving him my back. “You lost the right to ask me questions the day you called the police on me and sent me to jail for two years. Oh, wait. It would have been longer if your parents didn’t come back, and you wouldn’t be bothered.”I sighed turning back to look at him. “Just leave Nick and never come back here again. When the divorce papers are ready. Send your lawyer with them and I will sign, there is no need for us to see each other again.” There we go again, a flash of pain in his eyes and it was gone before I could even react making me feel like I was seeing things.He looked at me for a while before turning back and walking out my door. The guys rushed back in surrounding me. “Mam, are you alright, did he hurt you? we can call the police if he hurt you.” I chuckled, clearly, they did

NICKA month has passed with my people searching the hole of Summer Strand for that boy but so far, they have not been able to find him. Ethan might have moved him somewhere else, but I couldn’t find any record of any other place he might have travelled to after leaving Summer Strand. The records show that he came back to New Village after leaving Summer Strand.I considered the possibility that he might have just let who ever was looking after the boy to travel with him somewhere else. But I checked for anyone travelling with a boy names Samuel from Summer Strand in that week but no luck.I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep, all I did was work and trying to find that boy. I tried seeing Ethan and asking him about that boy, but he would not talk to me. He just seemed like he resented me, and I didn’t know why. The man was worried about me knowing about his son yet, he didn’t know about the one who died.I wished I could tell him to stop being full of it and tell me what I needed to know.

NICKSilence followed the shuttered cup. The helper came rushing and cleaned up the mess. Even after she was gone, my parents still did not say a word. They must have been very shocked by the news. “Nick, what are you telling us, what makes you think Olivia had a baby in prison?”I sighed then narrated the story to them. Of how I saw Ethan and the boy. How he looked like me and even had my birthmark. Everything, by the time I was done, my mother was in tears. I didn’t want to hurt her again.“You are telling me that we might be grandparents and we don’t even know about it?” I nodded making my mother cry even more. “Oh, Nick. Do you see now why it was a bad idea for you to send her to prison? You would have been raising that child together now instead of looking for him.” my heart sank.If that boy was mine, then it would mean that she was pregnant when I sent her to jail. It would mean she had my son in that place. Oh, dear God, what have I done? I lowered my head, and I could not hel

MARCUSI didn’t want to go back to the hospital, not until I found my wife and have spoken to her. I couldn’t just lose her too carelessly like that. I needed her now more than ever, she was my reason for waking up in the morning, the reason I look strong to everyone out there. She made me feel that way just because she was there to catch me when I would fall.When the exhaustion hit, when all hope is gone, when nothing seemed to make sense. She was there with me and for me. she lifted me up, gave me strength and continued to cheer me on. I was who I was because I had her. she made sense of my world because she is my world.People say something like this a lot, ‘I am nothing without you,’ then turn around and do something else. Some might even say I was exactly the same for what I did to my wife. But what no one understood was the fact that I got to do all that because I had a rock by myside.I really had and was nothing without her. “I am sure you are blaming yourself right now, aski
Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 208
OLIVIAHaving my son with me, made me a little better. It got me angry at the same time. I lost months with him and for what? nothing. I made sacrifices for my marriage and what did I get in return? Nothing. I didn’t think it was fair at all. Investing in something and getting nothing in return. As much as I have a good man by my side.It didn’t help that he neglected me, that he pushed me aside and focused on that woman. I get that the child is his, but he didn’t know at the time. My complaints fell on deaf ears. My husband, who was once attentive turned into a blind and deaf man. Who could not see that pain I was feeling from the way he was behaving.He did not see how much strain I was taking, and he did not hear my complaints. He basically turned a blind eye to everything to do with me. the accident was the last straw. He could have checked on me, came and told me as soon as he found out so we can see what to do.He didn’t do that, instead, he behaved like Nick Jones only caring a
Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 207
MARCUSI ran out of the hospital with Ethan following behind. I was like a crazy man outside looking around as if I was going to see her. “Come on, I will drive.” I didn’t know where he was driving me, I just followed, soon we were on the road heading towards Luke’s house. “Do you want to tell me what happened?”I didn’t know where to start, people like me turn to take things for granted thinking that they would always be there. I took my wife for granted thinking that she would never leave, that she would always be there and put up with my shit. I forgot that she was human too and had feelings. I put her through hell, and she stood by me.Yet, I didn’t even notice how hurt she was by my actions. “We are here.” I pushed the door open and rushed out. The house was dark indicating that there was no one in there. But still, I pounded on that door hoping for a miracle but nothing. “There is no one there.” Ethan stated the obvious, I wished I could take my anger out on him.Punch him a few
Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 206
MARCUSIf I knew last night that today was going to be like this, I would have made better choices, done things differently and treated my wife better. In fact, I would redo the whole seven months if I could. I didn’t know how badly I have been treating my wife until she cried a few minutes ago while telling me all that I have done to her.Nick was right, I was not better than he was. I think I might even be worse. What kind of husband did the kind of shit I did? A bad one if you asked me. it hurt me to see her crying painfully like that. it hurt even more learning that she was not the mother of the baby I made her miserable for.I wished I could read minds and know what she was thinking. If she was willing to raise Sandra’s baby with me. it’s selfish, I know but what can a man do? I am deeply in love with my wife, and I don’t want to lose her. I might not have slept with Sandra and gotten her pregnant, but she was still
Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 205
LUKEThe moment I found her crying in her ward looking broken, my blood boiled. I didn’t know what happened or why she wanted to leave. Or why she didn’t want Marcus to know. That was not priority to me, I didn’t care about any of it either. I care so much about her though, my dear daughter has been through hell and back.Whatever she does, she can’t seem to catch a break. Everything always goes down hill sooner or later. I think it is good that she is leaving. I have seen first hand how much she was suffering because of that woman. Marcus not even noticing the sad look in her eyes every time she saw them together.The longing in those beautiful eyes of hers when he would massage her feet as she watched. That angered me every time, but I kept my mouth shut because she loved him and wanted to stay with him. I knew if I did something to him, she would have never forgiven me for it.Now the moron has gone and hurt her
Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 204
OLIVIAI should have never gotten married again. I was too delusional and thought that this time, it would work out. That it would be different, that Nick was the problem and if I could just get rid of him, then I could get rid of Sandra and everything to do with the both of them.Little did I know that Sandra was not done with me. The recent events made me realize that it was never about Nick but about me. For some reason, unknown to me. Sandra hated me. I sat on the hospital bed, arm and leg in cast. Tears and snot falling. Thinking about the past when we were teenagers.What I might have done to her to make her resent me. but nothing came to mind. To my knowledge and from what I remembered, I always treated her well. My grandmother treated her well. Then why was she so resentful towards me?I must have done something really horrible in my past life to be punished like this in this one. I wished whoever I wronged could just find it in t

OLIVIAMy heart was breaking as John, the porter, pushed me to the elevator. I endured so much during the past months, taking Jennifer’s crap and having to watch my husband being nice to another woman in front of me. I thought it would all be worth it in the end. But I was wrong, there was no happy ending for me in the story.Just like before, I ended up with a broken heart and resenting Sandra. The woman sure knew how to break my heart and make my life a living hell. What was I thinking? She swore to make my life hell, and I didn’t believe her. I thought it would end with Nick, but I was wrong again. The woman was still not satisfied with the pain and misery she has caused me.“Olivia please, let us talk about this.” Marcus was following us. I was so disappointed in him, I was in an accident, he didn’t even bother to come and check on me. I stood up for him to my father, I didn’t know that he really didn’t care. I didn’t care what was happening at the time but the moment he confirmed
Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 202
OLIVIAWhen I came to, I was laying on a hospital bed. My arm on a cast and my dad sitting by my side. “You are wake, good. You gave me a scare. Don’t ever do something like that to me again.” What the hell was he talking about? “What am I doing here?” he frowned. “You were in an accident Olivia.” I remembered leaving the mall and…The events that occurred came rushing back to me. “Oh, I remember now. how did you know?” he sighed. “I was calling you and a paramedic answered and told me about the accident.” Oh, I was supposed to meet him for lunch.“What time is it? you have to tell Marcus where I am, so he doesn’t worry.” My dad clicked his tongue. “It’s ten pm, that bastard knows you are here.” My frown deepened, why was he calling my husband a bastard. “Don’t call him that dad.” He laughed.“What else should I call him? the hospital called him countless times as your next of kin, but he didn’t pick up the call. They switched and used your phone but still, he didn’t pick up. I went t
Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 201
JENNIFERI can’t believe how stupid I have been, I now regret forcing things with Marcus. It is now clear that everything I did to force him to take care of me, was not necessary. Marcus was now ignoring Olivia on his own and paying attention only to me. I should have trusted him; I should have known that he was a good man and will do right by me.I was too rush and now I regret it. seeing him take care of me like this feels good. It feels great because I didn’t force him to do anything of the things he was doing for me. A smile formed on my lips. “I am sorry Marcus.” He frowned.“What are you sorry about?” I sighed fixing the pillow behind me. “For everything I did to you, it was not right. I will not make excuses and say it was the pregnancy. Yes, it contributed to my unstable emotions but not to my craziness the past few months. I am sorry for all the trouble I caused you.” he looked at me for a while.“It’s alright, I am just glad you realized your mistake and even taking responsi
