ETHAN

Something clicked in me when Nick told me that, “Let me call you back Nick.” I cut the call and rushed to my car. “Go back to the hospital.” The drive back to the hospital felt very long and it didn’t help that I was on the edge of my seat with worry. My stomach twisted painfully at the thoughts I was having.

I hoped it wasn’t true, but it would be the only thing that made sense in all of this. “Step on it or find back roads, I don’t care, just get me there and fast.” My driver swerved and started overtaking cars careful not to hit anyone. We got to the hospital in record time, and I rushed to the third floor.

Those few minutes in the elevator felt like hours, why didn’t they make those things a little faster than they were. Getting there I looked around and couldn’t spot the person I was looking for. Instead, I saw Marcus in the waiting room reading something in the newspaper. “Where is she?”

He placed the news paper aside with a frown on his face, I didn’t like the guy, I knew

    NICKI saw red when she threatened my family like that. In a second, I had my hands wrapped around her neck and squeezing. I was ready to kill her right there and then and prevent her from laying a finger on my family. “Why are you not stopping him from strangling her?” asked Ethan on the side.Marcus shrugged. “They are siblings and siblings fight.” Those morons! “You kill me, you never know who did all those things to Olivia.” I let go of her neck as if it burned me. Ethan was all up in her face in seconds as I stepped back. She coughed uncontrollably and then the evil woman smirked.“You are so easy to fool Nick, did you really think I was going to tell you?” she shook her head as if she pitied me, me, Nick Jones. “I will tell you this though, this whole accident brought you and Olivia close. Or it brought you closer to her because she is out and might not feel the same when she comes to. At least you got to spend two weeks with her, so I guess that’s something.”She continued to sm

    NICKWhile we were busy glaring at each other, doctors ran past us going to the direction of Olivia’s room. As if we planned it. All three of us ran there as well, my heart was already beating fast worried that something might have happened to her while we were busy arguing out there. When we got there, we stood by the door and watched as the doctor took out the tubes from her mouth.Her eyes were closed and for a minute there I thought she was dead. My heart sank to the bottom of my stomach and my knees grew weak. That was until she coughed that my world lit up again. I walked forward and she frowned looking at me. I stopped in my tracks remembering that we were not on the best of terms.My sister was right, I was the one getting close to Olivia and she was not there with me. she didn’t even know what was happening the past two weeks. “Water.” Her voice was scratchy, and Ethan jumped and poured water for her and helped her drink. My sister was right about him too. My best friend had f

    OLIVIAI listened as Marcus and Ethan told me everything that happened over the past two weeks. I couldn’t believe I missed so much. I didn’t care that Nick claimed our divorce was not final and that I was still his wife. I cared about the fact that he did what was best for me and made sure I got the best care. On that one he was thinking like the Nick I once knew not he monster he became later.“Thank you, guys, for taking care of me and making sure that my son was safe.” Before any of them could answer, the door opened, and Samuel walked in first followed by Lupita and Grandma Susan. “Mama!” he rushed to my bed, Ethan helped him up and he gave me the biggest hug. He must have missed me, my poor son.“How are you baby?” he gave me a thumbs up and a smile. “Thank you for bringing him, Lupita, how are you grandma?” she waved her hand sitting on the chair next to my bed. “I should be the one asking you that, you gave us quite a scare Olivia.”“Am sorry grandma.” She stood taking somethin

    OLIVIAI appreciated Ethan’s words; he always knew just what to say to calm my nerves. He was my strength. But as much as I looked up to him for strength, support and assistance. I knew at the back of my mind that Ethan was Nick’s person not mine. That man would never do anything to hurt his friend.He may be angry with him at times and for whatever reason. But when it comes down to it, his loyalty laid with his best friend. “I saw you crying, what was that about? I can get the doctor to come and give you something for the pain.” Marcus, dear old Marcus. He came into my life and helped me out of a bad situation.“I think the Ryans were involved in what happened to the warehouse.” Marcus raised an eyebrow probably thinking that I had lost my mind. “Think about it, the Ryans were not happy when I pulled out on the deal. They wanted revenge on the Jones so bad that they wanted to hurt them where it hurt the most and them working with me was going to deliver a good blow to the Jones family

    ELODIEAfter Nick finished telling us about Faren, I looked at James hoping to hear something hopeful come out of his mouth. For the first time I was hoping that the man would do something to protect our family. But as usual, he said nothing about his daughter and pretended like we didn’t just hear what she did.He pretended like he has been pretending all these years like he didn’t know I had a hand in that woman’s disappearance, the mother of his daughter. Like always, he pretended like everything was alright. He smiled then turned to me. “I convinced the doctors to let me take you home, you look so much better now, my love.”I offered him a small smile wondering if he feared me still. When I told him who I was back then, he disappeared from my life for almost a month. Then came back as if nothing happened and told me he was ready to face the whole mafia for me.I had been moved back then and thought he was the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I was in love, still am b

    ELODIEMy hands shook at my sides as I continued to watch him. He has grown so much that he had grey hair on his head and beard. But still had the same scary eyes I always avoided looking into. The last time I saw him, he had a gun to my head. His hand trembling with anger, his eyes looked like those of a predator watching as his prey was being taken away.Anger coated those features, and I knew he wanted blood. Not just any blood but mine. I never understood that, I thought he loved me, that he would do anything to protect me. but on that day, gone was the protective brother I once knew and was replaced with a monster who wanted me dead.A smile appeared on his face and even that got my blood running cold. He opened his arms, and I regretted not bringing a weapon. I thought I would just scare Faren into telling me who she was working with. Never did I think I would run into him. “Come Ellie, give your big brother a hug, it’s been a while, little sis.’Ellie, that was the nickname he g

    NICK“Dad, calm down and tell me what happened.” He was not making sense. He was hysterical talking about mom, I was not sure what he was saying, “Just get here Nick, now! We must find your mother.” Find mom? Just what the hell was going on? I went out and rushed to the car telling Given to drive me to my parent’s house.I was so worried that I could feel the tension gathering on my shoulders. Could mother have gotten worse after getting home? I didn’t know what to think and father was not making it easy for me. I could tell that he was extremely stressed that his sentences made no sense. “Is there something wrong with this car?”Given gave me a confused look over the mirror. “No sir.”“Then fucking step on it!” I knew it was wrong taking my anger out on him he had been working for me for many years now. He of all my people should know when something was urgent. Now he was driving like we were going to the mall to do grocery shopping. I could see my father’s car on the driveway when

    ELODIEHow the hell did those two find out where I was? My heart almost jumped right out of my throat when Nick showed up at the door with his father behind him. I was sure Luke was not going to let them leave this place. “What a beautiful family you have here little sis, it’s a pity that your rich boy is still a coward.” He laughed throwing his head back.“I seriously don’t understand what you saw in that man, you left everything behind, your reputation, inheritance and a damn good lifestyle and for what? A coward that shakes in his boots at the sight of danger?” he shook his head. He would never understand, and I didn’t expect him to.“You don’t understand brother, love can make all that you mention seem like nothing compared to it’s power.” Anger flashed in his eyes. “I dare you to tell me I don’t understand one more time. Go ahead, say it.” The threat in his voice was clear as day. I didn’t know what he was talking about or why he was that angry.“Stay away from my family Luke, I

    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
