Revenge After Divorce PROLOGUE
OLIVIAI hoped Nick would come home early today. He hadn’t been around much since he started working with my best friend, Sandra. Things had been hectic at the office, but I still hoped today would be different, seeing how it was our fourth-year anniversary. I also had big news; I was finally pregnant, and we were about to have the family we’d always dreamed of.I couldn’t wait to see his reaction when I told him, and I didn’t even want to think about my mother-in-law—she’d be thrilled. I’d call and tell her after telling Nick. I was sure they’d cut their trip short once they heard the news of my pregnancy.I hummed as I moved around the kitchen, cooking. I was happy, despite knowing things hadn’t been the same between Nick and me lately. I hoped that after hearing the news of my pregnancy, he would become the man I fell in love with again.Just as I placed the last dish on the dining table, the front door opened. My heart leaped with excitement, and I rushed to greet him. Nick was ta

OLIVIATwo Days Later“Lock her up, and don’t let her see the sun ever again. She doesn’t deserve it!” Nick barked at the New Village Town police. His eyes were cold as ice, filled with hatred. The officer roughly shoved me into the filthy, smelly cell before slamming the bars shut. I turned to look at Nick and Sandra. They stood together, looking like old friends... or lovers. She was why he had turned against me, though I didn’t understand what had motivated her. We’d grown up together, did everything together. We’d watched each other’s backs. And now she stood beside my husband as he threw me into jail for something I didn’t do. A few hours ago, I was cooking dinner for my husband, waiting for him to come home from work. Even after the incident with Sandra in the kitchen, and even though things had changed between us since Sandra came back, I still had hope that we could fix things. Then this happened.The way Nick had looked at me when he arrived with the police broke my heart,

OLIVIAAs I stood in the cell, my thoughts went to my grandma. What would happen to her now that I was locked up? My chest tightened as I thought of her and her fragile health. Hearing about my arrest might kill her.Nick turned to the officer. “She’s to have no visitors and isn’t allowed outside. Let her rot in this cell. She can die here for all I care!”My heart shattered into a million pieces. I felt hot and struggled to breathe. How was my grandmother going to know that I was all right if I couldn’t have visitors? This would kill her! My throat felt like it was closing, threatening to cut off my air supply. I wanted to give up so badly. But then I looked at the satisfied gleam in Sandra’s eyes. Determination flooded back into me. I wasn’t going to let that witch win. By then, I was drenched in sweat, my eyes wide as saucers. I was sure I looked pale as a white sheet. The nice policeman looked terrified. “Sir, she can’t breathe. Should I call the doctor?” Maybe I should tell Ni

OLIVIAI sat in the dark jail cell, thinking about my baby and how he was going to survive in a place like this. I didn’t care about myself—they could keep me there for as long as they wanted—but my baby didn’t deserve this. He didn’t deserve to be born in a jail or suffer for my sins.It was only the second day of my incarceration, and the police were keeping their word to Nick about not letting me out. But I thought they were taking it too far; they hadn’t given me food since I arrived.It was good that nothing stayed in my stomach anymore. I’d been starting to have morning sickness. But I still felt hungry, even though I knew whatever I ate would come back up again.“Oh, my baby,” I said, caressing my stomach, “I’m so sorry you’re going through this, that you’re going to start your life into this world like this. But I swear to you, I will protect you. Your father will never know you exist, and he’ll never hurt you or me ever again. He’s done enough.”The cell door opened. I stood

OLIVIANINE MONTHS LATERPrison had been hard, not just because I was pregnant but because of how I was treated. But I was grateful for one thing—Ethan kept his word. The guard he’d bribed continued to bring me vitamins and took care of me as promised.But when he wasn’t around, the others would conveniently “forget” to feed me. There were days I was so hungry that my stomach ached. One day, I yelled until someone finally came. But instead of food, I got a beating.They beat me so badly that I had a black eye and bruises all over my arms and legs. But through it all, I protected my baby. Even after the beating, they didn’t give me any food. From that day on, I learned to stay quiet when that officer wasn’t around.I rationed my food, eating small portions and saving some in case I didn’t get any the next day. I was skin and bones, and I worried about my baby. Was he getting enough nutrients? Would he be born healthy?The thought of my baby suffering only made my resentment for Nick gr

NICKTwo years have passed since that woman humiliated me, since I found out she stole millions from me. While I had planned to start a family with her, she had secretly been taking birth control pills. Why couldn’t she have just told me she wasn’t ready for kids? Now, I know why—she was still in love with her ex and was only with me for my money.How could I have been so stupid and blind? When Sandra told me that Olivia had a hand in what happened to my mother all those years ago—how they met, how Olivia “just happened” to save her from being hit by a car—I refused to believe it at first. I thought my wife could never be capable of such things.Then she gave me that recording of their phone call, where Olivia had admitted everything: how she’d landed her “golden goose,” how her life was going to change for her and her grandmother. As if that weren’t enough, she stole from me. Sandra had showed me the proof.I recovered some of the money, but only a small portion. Thinking about her s

NICKMy parents left and Sandra came out from the kitchen. She was crying and I didn’t like it. I didn’t know why my parents would be so cruel to her, she was not the one who did all those things to me. she was the one who saved me from a bad situation and showed me the kind of wife I had.I didn’t understand why they would treat her that way. “Sandra, I am so sorry. I will talk to them again and make them understand. I will show them the proof of Olivia’s crimes and then they will believe me and accept you as my close friend.”I took her into my arms and consoled her. “Don’t get her out Nick, am scared of what she will do to me when she gets out. Please, let her stay there.” She cried even more, making my heart tighten. I wished I could let her stay; I wanted her to stay there longer but my parents were not joking when they said they would disown me if I don’t let her out.“Don’t worry, I will protect you. that woman will never come anywhere near you. but I have to make that call.

OLIVIAPrison became hell for me after I gave birth. The policeman who helped me before, transferred two days later. I think he was so traumatized by what he saw that he didn’t want to be anywhere near me after. I had an infection after giving birth, but I didn’t know that it was an infection. I thought it was just side effects after giving birth.No one told me what was normal and what was not in that situation. The policeman’s last good deed was to tell the doctor about it when I asked him to. The doctor checked on me and told me that I had what is called PDI (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease) she said bacteria infected my uterus and surrounding areas after giving birth.She gave me pills; said I would be fine after taking them and I only took them for a day until those animals decided I deserved a beating because Nick ordered them to.They beat me up so badly and flushed my pills down the toilet. They never told anyone about my beating, and no one cared to check on me. I was almost dead

OLIVIAThe past two weeks passed with Ethan and Marcus doing background checks on the young woman we chose, to be our surrogate. Marcus liked the young woman and so did I. But he had a feeling about her and didn’t want us to go ahead without checking her out. When Ethan heard about that, he offered his services as well.They had been at it for the past two weeks and would meet every evening to compare notes. If you ask me, they finished their investigation two days after they started and were just buying time saying they were still busy. Marcus was starting to enjoy Ethan’s company and were now starting to establish a real friendship.I liked that, Marcus had no friends there, all his friends were back in London, he needed to have someone here to talk to other than me. as much as I wanted them to be friends, they were not going to do that at my expense. I walked to his study to talk to them about the issue at hand.I could hear laughter even before I could knock. I decided to push t

UNKOWN She came back looking pleased with herself and a huge smile on her face. The moron thought it was all her doing when it was I who taught her how to act, what to do and not do. Who the hell did she think she was to come in here acting like she did more than just act a role I created for her?“Would you stop smiling like a fool and tell us how it went?” she was beginning to annoy me, and we were not even halfway yet. I wished I could push that damned woman to make a decision so we could get to the good stuff already. “They loved me, they totally loved me and Olivia. Damn! That woman is beautiful. I almost told her that I was doing this because I wanted to be her, I wanted her life.”My frown deepened as I closed the short distance between us. “Listen here, you have not been picked yet and if I were you. I would focus on practicing and being the perfect girl in case they pick you. fooling Olivia will not be easy especially when you start living in her house and…”“I will live in

OLIVIAThe facility manager called us two days ago to inform us that she had scheduled the interviews for today. We were meeting the first five candidates we had selected. As I was getting ready, I realized I didn’t know where Marcus was, as he wasn’t in the room when I woke up. I finished getting dressed and stepped out of the room, only to bump into my husband, who was carrying a jug of juice.“Perfect timing! I made us breakfast. It’s going to be a long day, and I wanted us to have enough energy to get through it,” he said. I smiled. How did I get so lucky? I kissed him on the cheek and followed him to the dining room, where Samuel was already sitting and eating pancakes.I never understood his obsession with pancakes. He loved them, always starting his day with them. I tried to make his snacks and lunch a little healthier. “Morning, baby,” I kissed the top of his head before sitting down. “Where’s Grandma and Lupita?” I asked.“They’re here. Someone was refusing to wear socks, say

UNKOWN “Listen, your niece better do everything I say for her to be able to ace the interview or we will never have a chance like this again.” She eagerly nodded in agreement. “She will do exactly what you say, she knows what is at stake here. Tell me, are you sure you can get her to accept my niece?” I knew Olivia better than anyone.If anyone could get someone into her house without anyone suspecting something, then it would be me. “Leave everything to me, we will get it done. Where is she anyway? The interview is in three hours, and we need her to be ready by then.” Oh, Olivia. I wonder what made you think that you could live a happy life.How could you be so brazen to think that you deserve anything other than misery in your life. Who do you think you are to deserve that? “Let me call her.” she stepped out to make the call as I sat there waiting. They said revenge is a dish best served cold and I fully agree with that statement.Sometimes one needs to wait for the right time to g

OLIVIAI didn’t know how to feel seeing Sandra like that. I felt hot suddenly and suffocating in that room. As much as I wanted her away from me and my family. Seeing her like that affected me in ways I never thought it would. The woman was my friend, I grew up with her, did many things with her and even shared my secrets with her.She was like a sister I never had. That was until recently, of course. What she did to me hurt and it still haunted me. But I also, can’t say that I was pleased to see her like that. yes, knowing that she was locked up and couldn’t do anything to hurt me was a relief. But I wished I listened to Marcus and never gone to see her.I felt his hand on mine snapping me out of my thoughts. “Do you need anything else?” I wished there was something that could be done for me to unsee what I had already seen in that room. that woman in there was not Sandra but a shell of someone that she used to be. It was not nice seeing a person like that and knowing that you did th

OLIVIA“This isn’t working!” I pushed the album I was holding away from me. We were at the clinic, or shall I say facility as they called it. looking at pictures of possible surrogate mothers. Last week they extracted my eggs and this week we were looking at surrogates. “What can I do to make the process easier for you?”Asked the lady in charge of the facility. “No need for that, we can just drop everything and go home, my love. Those eggs will still be there and viable whenever you are ready to start again.” I gave him a kiss. I loved how considerate he was. But that was not what frustrated me.I gave him a kiss on the cheek. “That is not it, love. I see all their information and pictures but that is all they are. They don’t give me anything about these people. Their personalities the energy when I am around them. I want to interview them in person to see for myself the kind of people they

NICK“Get off.” I told her, my voice low but irritation could clearly be heard in it. She continued to kiss and suck on my neck and that just got me mad. Who the hell did she think she was to think she could have my heart. What has she done to think she deserved it? I just met her and already she was being ambitious and think she could get things that don’t belong to her.I removed her hands off me, as gently as I could. “I said, get off me.” my voice dangerously low. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, but I didn’t care. I was already removing her from me. “Nick, what is wrong?” she asked but I didn’t answer, I got out of her car, and she did the same. I looked up in the sky and inhaled deeply. “Nick, can you please tell me what I did wrong?” I glanced at her and her pretty face now looked sad and disappointed. Shame, poor thing. “You did nothing wrong, you just told me that you wanted me, all of me with my heart. But am afraid I can’t give any of that as it belongs to someone e

NICKIt’s been a month since the incident with Samuel and I have been trying to get together with the Dr, but she has been playing hard to get. Eventually, I got fed up with her games and I told her she should tell me if she has no intention of getting together with me so I can stop pestering her.The good doctor seeing that I was not about to play her game, came up with the excuse that I should understand that she had a busy schedule as the doctor and so on. I couldn’t care less about that. We were both adults and the least we could do was act like it.If you don’t like someone or something, just say it and not play games wasting people’s time. Right now, I was sitting in an Italian restaurant waiting for her to arrive for our date. According to the research Owen did, the doctor liked Italian food, so he booked this restaurant for us.I must admit, the place was nice, looked and felt expensive. Nice classic music playing on the background which you can’t tell or see where it was comi

OLIVIAI have been wondering about what Marcus said the whole week we have been back. We left London the following morning. Nick and Luke went back to Summer Strand, and we came home. But the events of the day stuck with me. spending time with Nick showed me a different side to him. what he would be like being Samuel’s father.It was clear the man loved his son, and it only made me feel guilty about what I did. But then he went further than that and put Marcus straight. The Nick I knew would have taken advantage of that and tried to separate us. But this one didn’t. instead, he told my husband what he was doing wrong. That too showed me that he was a different man.A more matured man. “Penny for your thoughts?” Marcus said wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing my neck. “Just thinking about Nick and how much he seems to have changed.” He nibbled on my earlobe. “Thinking about another man while you are in my arms, what a naughty wife you are.”I laughed hitting him playfully. “I
