Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 22
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 29
OLIVIAI stood in front of the tall skyscraper building of Ryan Properties with my hands sweating and my feet glued to the ground. I was supposed to have gone inside ten minutes ago but my feet were heavy as cement. In my mind I kept thinking about that text Brandon sent and wondering what it meant.What did his father approve of? Was it the business deal we spoke of or something else? Being in prison made me a suspicious person, I could no longer take anything someone said at face value. I had shown Ethan the text trying to get his views on it and all I got from him was.“Be careful, Olivia. Brandon is Nick’s business rival. They might not run in the same circles in business, but they are still rivals, I can’t explain but be careful.” He looked angry when he told me that and it made me wonder if Brandon was his rival too.But I did not ask him. here I was standing there not sure if going in was a good idea. I needed the business, and my company was small. I couldn’t afford to turn aw
