Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 258
MARCUSThe frustration burned deep in my chest as I paced back and forth, the news my men brought me hanging heavy in the air. They had scoured the island, every inch of it, and still hadn’t found Olivia. It was the same thing Luke and the others told me. But I refused to believe she was gone. I knew, I knew, she was still here, hidden somewhere we hadn’t thought to look. Somewhere unexpected. Somewhere like the cemetery.The team had reported that Xander had appeared there before, slipping through Luke’s men as if he had melted into the shadows. One minute, they had seen nothing. The next, he was standing right in front of them. No one knew how he had gotten past the guards. No one had seen him come or go. That had to mean something.But the real clue came when he told Luke to pull his men out of the cemetery. That wasn’t just a warning, it was a message. Xander had been close to the cemetery. He had been in it. And that was the one place we hadn’t searched thoroughly for Olivia. Th

MARCUSThe sound of the gunshots echoed through the night, sharp and piercing, and it didn’t take long before the others arrived, they must have heard the gun shot. The world around us stirred with movement, and soon, the area was swarming with my men and Luke’s. Nick, Luke, Ethan, all of them came rushing toward us, their boots crunching the dry ground as they closed in.When they saw Olivia in my arms, something shifted. The tension that had been thick in the air seemed to ease, replaced by a wave of collective relief. I could see it in their faces, the way they exhaled, the way their shoulders loosened as if they had been holding their breath for days.“Well, well,” Luke’s voice broke the moment, mocking and dripping with disdain. He stepped forward, his gaze narrowing on Xander, still crumpled on the ground, clutching his side where I had shot him. “If it isn’t the tough guy, not so tough anymore.”Xander’s eyes were bloodshot and filled with fury as he glared up at Luke, his body

NICKMarcus’s arrival had not been in vain. Because of him, we were able to find Olivia, and that in itself made every second of the chaos feel worth it. Seeing her alive, her breathing shallow but steady, was a relief that I hadn’t known I had needed until I saw it. But even in my relief, I couldn’t shake the sense of unease that settled in my chest. Olivia wasn’t moving, her eyes vacant, her body still. There was something deeply unsettling about it. She wasn’t the vibrant woman I knew; she wasn’t responding to anything.The worry gnawed at me. Something had happened to her. Something that had robbed her of the energy and life she once had.As we made our way toward the cars, I glanced back at Marcus, still clutching her to him, the man who had done what none of us had been able to do. He had found her when the rest of us were too blind to see the clues. I watched him, and even in that moment of triumph, I felt a pang of jealousy twist deep inside me. He had been the one to save her

OLIVIAWhen we got to the cemetery and Xander placed a knife on my throat. I lost my mind; I didn’t know what happened, but I think my brain blocked off everything for me. he numbed me because he wanted me to watch as he slaughtered me like a cow.The man was sick and twisted beyond measure. Every moment that passed with the cold steel of the knife pressed against my skin only served to remind me of the darkness within him. He didn’t just want to kill me, he wanted to watch me suffer, to break me mentally before he ended it all.I knew that I wouldn’t feel anything once it was over. The fear, the dread, it would all go numb once my body gave in. Yet, that knowledge didn’t bring comfort. I didn’t want to endure it, not in the way he was forcing me to. Yes, death was inevitable, but I didn’t want to feel the cruelty, the violence of the act. I didn’t want to experience it, even if it was the last thing I would ever know.Then, the gunshot rang out. At first, it seemed distant, almost li

ETHANSeeing Olivia like this nearly shattered me. I had never imagined it could get worse than when Nick sent her to prison, but I was wrong. I had seen her suffering in that place, seen the toll it took on her. I thought that was the worst of it, but this, this was something entirely different. The pain in her eyes was a level of brokenness I hadn’t known existed. She was no longer just someone who had been wronged by the system. No, this time, she was truly, irrevocably broken.I stood outside the hospital room, the sterile, cold air of the corridor pressing down on me as I waited for any sign of clarity. Inside, they were examining her, trying to assess the damage, trying to piece together the pieces of her shattered soul.Marcus wouldn’t leave her side. He was there, steady and unwavering, even as I knew his heart must’ve been breaking, too. I could see it in his eyes. He wasn’t just her husband; he was the man who loved her beyond measure, the man who couldn’t protect her from t

MARCUSI trembled with fury as I watched my wife in such a state. The sight of her, broken and trembling, filled me with a rage that burned so intensely, I could barely contain it. The urge to scream, to shout, to lash out at everything and everyone was overwhelming. I wanted to destroy everything, everything that had ever allowed this to happen to her. The world, my world, felt like it was collapsing around me.My heart shattered, a thousand pieces falling away as I realized the depth of what had been done to her. That man, that monster, had done something unforgivable, something that should never happen to any person, let alone someone as good, as pure, as Olivia.What Xander had done to her was unimaginable. He hadn’t just broken her physically, emotionally, or mentally. He had shattered her very soul, her essence, the very core of who she was. He had torn that away from her, and without it, I didn’t know what was going to be left. I didn’t know if she would ever be whole again.I

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,

XANDERI stood at the window, watching the sun dip lower on the horizon, casting an amber glow across the sky. The breeze was gentle, carrying the scent of fresh earth and the quiet promise of evening. I breathed in deeply, the cool air filling my lungs, and for a brief moment, I felt at peace. But that peace was fleeting. ‘Today might be the day I join my father in the afterlife,’ I thought, the weight of that realization pressing down on me. The sunset, beautiful as it was, couldn't mask the bitter truth gnawing at my insides.I let out the breath I had been holding and turned away, pushing the thoughts of death to the back of my mind. There was still work to do.I walked back inside, my footsteps muffled on the worn floorboards. Olivia was still lying there, her body tense, her face pale, eyes wide with fear. The sight of her like this, trapped in whatever dark corner her mind had retreated to, only fuelled the fire inside me.I closed the distance between us and knelt beside her,

OLIVIAIt had been two days since Xander had returned. Each day felt like an eternity. His visits were shorter, but he still came and went, often leaving me with more questions than answers. Something was different about him this time, he seemed stressed. There was a nervous energy around him that hadn’t been there before. I couldn’t quite pinpoint what was causing it, but I could feel it. His tension gave me hope. If he was worried, that meant my family, my people, were getting closer to finding me. His stress told me that his carefully laid plans weren’t going the way he expected. That realization was both terrifying and a beacon of light.He returned again, standing in the doorway of the room, glaring at me with that strange, manic smile. His eyes were wild, as if the weight of his own plans was starting to crush him."You know," he began, his voice tinged with a sickly sweetness, "I thought we’d get more time together." He took a slow step closer, a step that made my heart pound h

MARCUSThe drive from the airport to the hotel wasn’t long, but for me, it felt like an eternity. Every passing moment added to my growing anxiety. I was desperate to find my family, but there was a nagging fear in the back of my mind, what if Nick had lied to me again? What if I was chasing shadows?But I held onto the thought that everything had been carefully planned. I had done everything right. Nick wouldn’t lie to me, at least not this time. I could hear the fear in his voice when he spoke to me, and I knew it was real. Fear could break a man, and I believed Nick had broken. He had confessed, and I had to trust that. If I didn’t, I would lose my mind.When we finally arrived at the hotel, the parking lot was almost full, but we managed to find the last available spot in front of the entrance. I stepped out of the car, the weight of the situation pressing on my chest. But I wasn’t alone, I wasn’t just walking into a hotel room without backup. I had taken a page out of Luke’s book
