OLIVIA

I sat on the couch close to the window watching Samuel play ball with Lupita. It has been two days since Nick threatened me and I couldn’t take my eyes off my son. Not for a second. He was the only thing Nick could take from me that would destroy me.

I was so paranoid that I jumped at every little thing and always looking around. I have been working from home afraid that if I left, It would be the last time I saw him and I would never see him again. Marcus was the one who was busy taking care of business the past two days.

Sorting out the launch and dealing with the construction people rebuilding the warehouse. I was only dealing with the factory workers and doing paperwork. I placed the laptop on the coffee table and turned fully to the window and watched my son play.

He was laughing and running around chasing the ball. He would try to kick it then end up being the one who falls. I liked how he always got up and tried again.

    NICKShe was pissing me off big time. She knew nothing of what was going on between Olivia and I. yet, she insisted on poking her nose where it doesn’t belong. “Stay out of this, you don’t know what is going on here and being a Jones for all of two minutes, doesn’t give you the right to involve yourself in my business. Stay on your lane.”She laughed throwing her head back. “You are funny, little brother. I have not been a Jones for two minutes; I have been one all my life. Just because your mother prevented me from growing up as one doesn’t mean it just happened over night.”“What, what do you mean by that?” father asked looking shocked. Mother on the other hand was glaring at Faren, while she couldn’t care less about the trouble she just caused. “Faren, tell me what you mean by that.” father asked his daughter, but she didn’t even spare him a glance, her eyes were fixed on me.“Why don’t you ask your wife that.” she answered still looking at me. “I am not here for that, and you can

    OLIVIAThe moment I heard that scream something in me moved. I knew something was wrong with my son and I had to go there and save him. By the time I got there, Nick’s sister was kneeling over him blowing air into his mouth. I pushed her aside and checked on my son. His breathing was laboured as if something was blocking his airway.I called Nick for him to call for help. Then they started fighting right in front of us. I didn’t care who did what at that time, all I needed was for my son to be alright. Everything else I could deal with after he was taken care of, and I knew he was alright.His sister might have done something to him, or it just happened. Children get sick all the time and we could not blame people for that. “Olivia, she was alone with him. Samuel was fine when she wasn’t here then all of a sudden, he is turning blue and struggling to breathe?”“Nick, I am warning you. stop.” That was his father, by this time his sister was crying. I was about to say something, but I h

    NICKI was scared out of my mind when I saw him like that. Olivia was right, I shouldn’t have taken him away from her. He was not even with me for an hour and that happened. My son was not safe with me. As much as I wanted to be with him and take him away from his mother. I didn’t think it was a good time to do so.I did not trust the woman who claimed to be my sister. Father was too blind to see it, but I was not. She did something to my son and I was going to prove it. One way or another, I was going to prove that the woman had ill intensions towards us. Maybe she still held a grudge for what mother did to hers.But to take that out on my innocent boy was something I was not going to tolerate. She could do anything she wanted to me, mother or father but not my son. He had nothing to do with all this. Her anger should be directed at the people who wronged her not my son. I watched her finish her coffee and throw her empty cup into the trash.She turned a corner, and I left the others

    NICKAs pissed as I was about the whole thing, I knew I had to play it smart. She was the owner of a brothel, and I would like to think she didn’t get to where she was because she played it safe. She had skeletons in her closet, and I wanted to find them. but I wasn’t going to find anything if I was hasty. The woman was hiding something, and I needed to know what.She should never have gone after my family and maybe she would have still had a good life, but she decided she wanted more. She maybe my sister but that did not mean she had good intentions. I moved away then took my phone and dialled the man. “Sir?”“Find out everything you can about my so-called sister.”“Already done, sir. I do a check on everyone claiming to be a part of the family?” that was why he was there, to protect our interest and for interest’s sake. I asked. “Did you do a check on my wife as well?” si

    OLIVIAI went to the cafeteria going to get myself some coffee. I got the coffee and absent mindedly walked back towards my son’s ward, just as I was about to pass the storage room, the door opened, and I was pulled inside. My coffee fell and spilled. The storage room was dark and just as I was about to panic the lights went on.Sandra stood there, so close and looked so angry. I just stood there looking at her and not sure what to say to her. “Why are you pretending Olivia, how long do you think you can play this game with me and win?” I tried pushing her aside to get out of the room, but she stood rooted there as if she were a tree.“You are not leaving here until you tell me what you are playing at.” That just got me angry, I slapped her across the face. She looked shocked at first but then a smirk appeared on her face. “Good, that is what I want, that is the Olivia I always wanted to see. Now I see you, no pretence just you. now tell me, are you that desperate to have Nick back tha

    NICKI paced in front of my son’s ward not able to think clearly. I didn’t know what to think to begin with and that was what frustrated me the most. My parents appeared with food, and I looked at them. I mean really looked at them as if I was seeing them for the first time. I might as well have been since I didn’t know half the things I was finding out about now.First my sister and now this. I thought the man was someone my father had like I had Ethan to find out things for me. But he was not father’s person but mothers. Also, why didn’t I know a thing about her family when I knew everything about father’s side of the family.I just assumed she had no family left but I was beginning to doubt that. “Why are you looking at me like that?” mother asked as soon as she was close enough. Not wanting to ask questions in front of that woman, I said nothing. “Could you accompany me to go find the doctor? I still have questions, but I don’t want to be alone.”She quickly nodded handing the food

    OLIVIAWhen I woke up, it was morning, and the doctor was busy with his morning rounds checking on Samuel. I was on the bed next to him, and I didn’t know how or when I got there. I suspected Nick but then again, the man would never do something like that for me. it was sad to even think that he would.“You are wake, good. I have a report for you, and you have many visitors out there waiting for you. but your husband wouldn’t let them come inside.” I just looked at him, he knew that Nick was no longer my husband. I was sure the whole world knew, and he insisted on calling him that.“I guess you are not a morning person, alright. Do you want me to call him for you?” he was pissing me off by the second. “Oh kay. Any way. Your son is fine, and the test come back negative. We are still not sure what caused the reaction that he had but I will ask that you be careful. We don’t know if it was something he ate or touched but I suggest you watch him closely from now on.”I sighed relieved, but

    OLIVIA“Enough! If you want to be a father to your son, Nick. Then I suggest you start acting like one and stop blaming people for not being there for your son. Now we will not be arguing in front of Samuel, the boy has been through enough already.” His mother reprimanded looking angry. If there was one thing I liked about his mother.It was that she did not take her son’s side when he was wrong, she told him off and didn’t have mercy while doing so. I didn’t even take the shower I was supposed to take, I just woke my son up and told him we are going home. “I am taking you home.” Marcus offered and I nodded.“I will bring you all something to eat.” Ethan offered. “I am going to be the one taking them home.” Nick said but no one paid any attention to him. his sister sneered on the side and Nick glared at her. I could tell that those two will never get along, they already didn’t trust each other.Marcus, Ethan and I walked out following each other. Nick’s mother ran and caught up with us

    MARCUS“Boss, we’ve arrived,” Steve said, his voice cutting through the thick fog of sleep that had settled over me. I blinked a few times, disoriented, before slowly coming to. My body ached from the constant movement, the long days of traveling across continents, jumping from one city to another, chasing dead ends and half-truths. I hadn’t gotten a decent night’s sleep in days. Every time I closed my eyes, all I could see was the face of my wife, Olivia, fading from my thoughts like a distant dream.I rubbed my face with both hands, trying to shake off the fatigue. The exhaustion was getting to me, but there was no time for rest. Not now. Not until I had her back. My mind was a blur, constantly circling back to the same thoughts: Where is she? Why won’t anyone tell me? The people who had information were all cowards, and none of them would speak up. It was maddening. The jet had become my only sanctuary, a

    OLIVIAIt had been two days since Xander left, two days without food or water. My body had grown weaker with each passing hour, and I could feel every ache in my bones, every crack in my spirit. But there was a small sliver of hope amidst the physical torment: the sedative he had used to paralyze me was finally starting to wear off. I could feel a slight tingle in my legs when I pinched them hard, nothing much, but enough to give me the faintest glimmer of relief. Soon, I would be able to move again.That is, if I didn’t collapse from thirst and hunger first.The worst part of being in that hellhole wasn't the paralysis. It was the silence. The uncertainty. I had no way of knowing if it was day or night. Time had ceased to exist in that dark, suffocating tomb, and with each passing moment, I felt like I was slipping further from reality. I was literally buried alive, a prisoner in a catacomb of stone, with no one to help me, no one to hear

    NICKLuke’s face changed from shocked to anger very quickly. “Tell him, tell the moron where we are!” he bellowed throwing his hands in the air. “How could this moron do something like this? I am the only one who is supposed to do things like these. You boys are supposed to keep your hands clean!” he paced the room.He was frustrated. “Since when did Marcus become worse than me in things like these, just what the hell is wrong with him?” he said to no one in particular. I didn’t know if he was just frustrated or a little impressed by his son in law. He turned to me with a glare. “What the hell are you waiting for? Do you want him to bomb more cities before you tell him where the hell we are?”I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Just moments ago, Luke had been telling me to keep everything from Marcus, and now, here I was, being blamed for not telling him where we were fast enough. It felt like I had no place to stand, caught between a rock and a hard place. But it wasn’t the time t

    ETHANThe moment Nick hung up the phone, his face shifted, his expression unreadable. It was as if all the colour drained from him in an instant, his skin paling in a way that I had never seen before. I had been around Nick long enough to know that he was no stranger to bad news, but this? This was different. It was as if something beyond our worst fears had just been set in motion.We had already been living through the chaos, Luke, Xander, Olivia’s disappearance, and now, the kids were safe with us. That much, at least, had been a small mercy in the storm. But Nick looked like he had just been hit with the weight of something even worse, something that none of us could prepare for. My mind raced, trying to figure out what could possibly be so bad. And then it hit me. Could it be…? No, it couldn’t be.Before I could make sense of it, I moved closer to Nick, my concern deepening. I needed to make sure that whatever was going through his mind wasn’t as bad as I feared. Leaning in, I wh

    NICKI had been holding onto the hope that once Xander showed up, everything would fall into place. That the mess would be cleaned up, and we could put an end to the nightmare that had been plaguing us.Luke and Xander reached some sort of agreement, at least, that’s what I gathered, but the specifics were still hazy in my mind. Luke had told Xander to bring Olivia, or he would destroy his father’s remains.What exactly that meant, I wasn’t sure. It felt like a vague threat, but the tension in the air told me it wasn’t just idle talk. Xander responded with some sort of counter-deal, loaded with things I couldn't follow. Honestly, I was drained. I didn’t care about the details anymore. I just wanted this whole nightmare to be over. But Xander wasn’t backing down, and neither was Luke.Luke had his men tail Xander. And, as expected, Xander went straight to the hotel. He wasn’t trying to outsmart anyone or go off the grid. He was playing by his own set of rules, one that I didn’t fully u

    XANDERI was about to take the biggest gamble of my life, and I knew it. Luke was offering me a choice, an impossible one. It was a trap, a setup where only he could win. The terms of his proposition were clear: there would be no chance for me to exact my revenge on him, and there was a very real possibility that I would lose my life in the process. But I wasn’t ready to die, not yet. Not when I had a son waiting for me, hoping I would make it back.I had to think fast. Luke had me cornered, but I couldn’t show him how much fear his words stirred inside me. I had to put on a face, act like I was in control, even if I wasn’t. It wasn’t just about surviving this moment; it was about finding a way out. I wasn’t going to let him win that easily.I stood tall, trying to exude confidence, even though inside I felt like a bundle of nerves. My heart hammered in my chest; my hands clenched into fists at my sides. I could feel the sweat starting to bead on my forehead. If I didn’t hold it toget

    XANDERFor the past few days, I had watched them stumble around in their futile attempts to track me down. Every morning, they would set out at dawn, and every night they would return empty-handed, their efforts wasted. It was amusing to me.They had no idea where to look, no real understanding of how to hunt someone like me. It was almost laughable. I had thought they were dangerous, but I quickly realized how wrong I was. There was nothing good about them, nothing that made them worthy of fear.Perhaps they just hadn’t met their match yet. Until now.Now, they had encountered me, and they knew they were nothing compared to what I was capable of. They were amateurs, playing a game they couldn’t win. But Olivia... she was another story. She surprised me. I had expected more resistance from her, some fight, some fire. But instead, she complied. She ate the food I gave her, barely muttering a word of protest. The silence was almost worse than anything. I could tell that the trauma from

    NICKThe island was still, too still. No one slept that night. Luke had kept busy with his men, the sound of his voice drifting through the halls, low and intense. I couldn’t make out the words, but I could tell they weren’t discussing anything good.Ethan had joined them; he was more involved than I would have liked. I had asked him to keep an eye on Luke, to make sure things didn’t escalate further. I didn’t trust Luke, not when he was like this, wild, unpredictable, the kind of man you couldn’t reason with once his mind was made up. He was like a caged animal finally set free, and I was terrified of what he might do to the people on this island. They were innocent; they didn’t deserve to be dragged into whatever madness Luke was planning.As for me, I was stuck dealing with the kids. I tried to keep my mind occupied, tried to push away the dread gnawing at me. But before anything, I knew I had to prepare. I organized money, lots of it. It felt like I was bracing for something big.

  • Revenge After Divorce   CHAPTER 246

    NICKIt had been three days since Olivia disappeared, the longest, most agonizing three days of our lives. Every day felt like a never-ending loop of despair. We woke up, checked the rooms, scoured the island, hoping to find some trace of her. But no matter how much we searched, it was as if she had vanished into thin air. There was no sign of a struggle, no indication that she had left the room, and absolutely no lead to follow. It was like she was swallowed up by the earth itself.The island wasn’t that large, and it seemed impossible that someone could just disappear like that. But here we were, endlessly combing through every corner, every inch of the place, but we kept coming up empty. It felt like we were chasing ghosts. The stress, the exhaustion, the hunger, none of it was helping our situation. It wasn’t that we didn’t have food. We had plenty of food. But none of us could bring ourselves to eat.The nanny we had hired to take care of the kids, a kind woman, had been cooking
