Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 21
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

OLIVIAI got out of a taxi in front of Nick’s home. Her mother called me to come and see them. She said they wanted to talk to me about something urgent. I wondered what it was, but I came up with nothing else other than that Nick told them about Samuel and they wanted to know if he was their grandson or not.I was not about to tell them either, I couldn’t talk about my son without thinking about what their son did to me. without resenting him and everything he stood for. I hoped for their sake they didn’t ask me about my son. I walked to the front door and Lupita their helper opened the door before I could knock. “Missus, you look beautiful and it’s good to see you.” I gave her a small smile. She was a nice old lady. “It’s good to see you too Lupita.”She led me to where the Jones where sitting, the atmosphere was tense, and I knew they were going to ask me something I was not going to like. Nick’s mother stood when she saw me. She gave me a hug and spoke. “I want you to know that I

OLIVIAThe dress Ethan sent me was out of this world. It was a long royal blue dress with a split going up to my thigh. Off shoulder showing off just enough skin to entice but modest enough to passed off as classic. The ladies who did my make up made it natural with a touch of nude lipstick.When they were done, I went and put on my shoes before going to look myself in the mirror. I didn’t recognise the beautiful woman who looked back at me. I couldn’t even remember the last time I saw her. well, I did. She was married back then; she had just decided to leave the corporate world to start a family with her husband.It seemed like a lifetime ago when that happened. I sighed. This was my first time being out in society and socializing after that incident. I was scared to death of the looks I was going to be getting from people. With them pointing fingers and whispering about me and what happened.Others pretending not to know me as if that would be a polite way to approach the situation.

NICK“Welcome to the corporate business annual gala, my name is Tom, and I will be your host this evening. Without wasting anymore of your time. I would like to call to the stage to open for us. New Village’s favourite billionaire. He needs no introduction as many of you already know him, some of you have had the pleasure of doing business with him and some know him through his good deeds around the city. Ladies and gentlemen. Let us put our hands together and welcome to the stage, Nick Jones of Jones Enterprises.”The room erupted in applause; I was annoyed in a second. I didn’t need to be there, but I didn’t attend the past two years and Sandra insisted we come to this one. I should have been at the office facilitating the search for my son.As I sat there watching people coming into the gala, my mind was on my parents, wondering how their talk went with Olivia. Also, I was curious to learn about what they knew about her that I didn’t. I took my time getting up on that stage after T

OLIVIA“You look like a queen Mrs Jones, and you move gracefully like one as well.” Brandon complemented; I didn’t know he knew who I was. I must have shown my shock because he said. “Oh, don’t be shocked, everyone here knows who you are and wondering why you and your husband came here with different dates.”I was afraid of something like that, but Nick and I could never appear in these circles together again. “Are you one of those who are wondering, Mr Ryan?” he chuckled spinning me around. “No, I already know what happened. The moron didn’t know his wife well enough to trust her. He sent her to jail and is now jealous that I am dancing with her instead of him.”I laughed; I should have known he was someone powerful enough to provoke Nick like that without fear of the consequences. “How do you know that I didn’t do what they say I did?” He smiled; the man was beautiful, not handsome but beautiful.“Because I know how to read people and you don’t look like the type who would be with a

Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 163
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

MARCUSI frowned, since when is Nick the reasonable one? By staying a week with Samuel here, I thought I would make up for the honeymoon that was ruined by my uncle, and she would be at ease with Samuel with us. I didn’t know I was pushing it. I seemed to be making a lot of mistakes, and I didn’t like it.“Why did you force her to make Luke help that woman?” I sighed. I had many reasons for that and none of them were the ones I provided. “I will tell you but don’t go running to my wife about it. I will tell her when the time is right.” Nick nodded but I could tell he was not going to like what I was about to say.“That woman in there and I used to date.” Nick didn’t look as shocked as I thought he would. He just stared at me. so, I continued. “We dated for about a year until I brought her home to meet my uncle. I guess she liked him more than she claimed to love me. but she ended up leaving me for my uncle and six months later they got married.”Still Nick kept his mouth shut. “I was
Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 161
NICKMy heart swelled seeing Samuel back safe. I was worried especially when that man threatened to do harm to him. I was worried sick, and I felt like I couldn’t breathe. Like if something were to happen to the boy, it would affect me more than it should. As he was not my son. But there was something about him.Something I couldn’t place my finger on, I had a connection to the boy, I couldn’t explain. If he were born at home with me and Olivia, then I would say it was because of that. but he was born in prison, and he had a close relationship with Ethan and not me. But why did I feel the way I felt about him? maybe it was because he was part of Olivia, and I loved her.When she came into the house with him, I followed. I don’t know why but I followed and got into bed with them. Olivia on the one side and I on the other. Samuel in the middle. I thought she was going to chase me away or Marcus would say something. But to my surprise, none of them said a thing.Marcus only peeked at the

OLIVIAMarcus followed me to the kitchen, probably wondering why I was being stubborn about this. But that woman’s husband traumatized my son, taking him from his home and flying him across the world. And for what? To get money from his nephew? Samuel was not Marcus’s son; he should have gone after something that was Marcus’s not mine.“Olivia, I know what he did is unforgivable. But I am already taking everything from him and his family. Lilly will no longer have the same lifestyle she grew up with. Things will change for her big time, school, friends, everything. I can’t take her father away from her too. Believe it or not. My uncle is a good father to his daughter.”I wished I could shut him up with a punch right on the mouth. How could he try and manipulate me like that? actually that was emotional blackmail, and I didn’t like it. “Fine, I will tell Luke to give her a phone. But I am not going to forget this.” I told him then walked out of the kitchen. I felt like he was, yet agai
Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 159
OLIVIAI didn’t know where that anger came from, but I just exploded when she said those things. I didn’t care about any of that, I just wanted my son. “That’s my daughter, if you thought I was bad, then you haven’t met my daughter. Well, you have just now but she is worse than I could ever be.” Luke said coming in with a tub of ice cream in hand.The man was making it seem like we were a family of mafias there, I threw a glare at him and he lifted his hands up in surrender. “See, I am even scared of her myself and yet she is my daughter. My only child. That boy is her only child as well and trust me. she will gut you and leave you bleeding to death if you don’t give her son back.”Jesus, Luke! Marcus laughed. “Now I see why you want to take everything from us, you are being threatened by this family of gangsters you married into. I thought I knew your character and the type of woman yo

OLIVIAWhen we landed in London and got out of the plane. My heart almost stopped when I saw so many men in black standing there. Marcus and I looked at each other confused. I even thought they were agents of some government organisation or something. That was until we got down and one who seemed to be the leader of the group came forward and greeting me.He paid Marcus no mind as he told me that my father the don told him to come get me. I was shocked because firstly, I didn’t know what the hell the don was and secondly. I thought the mafia was back in Summer Strand. There was no way Luke flew all those men there. Marcus and I followed them in our car.The car was brought by his driver to the airport. On the way he was telling Marcus how much damage was caused by Nick and Luke. “Don’t worry about that Larry, am here now and I am going to sort all this out.” I couldn’t believe they burnt down so many m
Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 157
NICKThere was silence on the other end of the line, and I held my breath hoping the man was smart enough to make the right decision. While we were still waiting for him to respond, the line went dead. Luke chuckled with an evil smirk on his face. I wondered what he was thinking because I was never going to let him hurt a child.“Well, it seems you don’t mean much to your husband. All he cares about is his wealth. Anyway…” he stood, and I did the same. “Take them to the car, we are taking them with us since the man doesn’t want them. we will keep them.” okay, that was not so bad. He said nothing about hurting them just taking them.It was going to scare him enough to act, I hoped. He and I walked out. “Tell your boss that I have taken his family. Tell him if he wants them back then he knows what he must do.” He told the guards. We got into the car. “Let’s get out of here before Olivia and Marcus arrive.” I agreed fully with that one.Olivia would think I was a monster if she saw me do
Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 156
NICKWhen Luke said we were going to have fun in London, I was worried. Let’s face it, the man was a mafia kingpin, and his idea of fun was not like a normal man’s idea of fun. When I asked what kind of fun was there to be had. He mentioned guns, arson the works. It got me shaking to my core. We were looking for a child and those things were not exactly child friendly.But then again, kidnapping a child was not child friendly either. The man took my boy and didn’t think about how he would feel being away from his family. He took him for his own selfish reasons and that couldn’t go unpunished. Some people needed to be severely punished in order for them to learn.So, I agreed with Luke’s plan even though it made me sick. But then the fun started, when we got to London and met with his men at the airport. I felt like the most powerful man in the world. Hell, I had money and power but that felt like a different kind of power. Which it was. The way those men worshiped the ground we walked

OLIVIA“Let me get this straight, you are pissed that they have destroyed your property and you wanted them to wait until you could point them in the right direction or the direction you think he might be keeping him, is that what you are saying?” seriously, I wanted to make sure that was what he was saying before I could explode.“If they had waited or at least asked me, I would have told them possible places they could look at without them having to destroy my properties. Is there a need for property distraction in this to begin with? Come man, they are just being spiteful now.” I chuckled not believing what I was hearing.“Not so long ago, you didn’t believe Nick about this, you thought he was lying about the whole thing and now you are angry they didn’t consult you before they started searching for my son? You are unbelievable.” Samuel was not his son, granted but for him to be upset about his
