Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

OLIVIA

My hands shook as I typed a reply. “Nick, I didn’t do this, you have to believe me.” my eyes were glued to the screen waiting for his reply. I didn’t want to get on Nick’s bad side like that. I wanted revenge yes but in business. I would never go after the family like that. I was not that kind of person.

Also, why did he think I did this, what evidence did he have to think that I would do something like that? I stood and started pacing. Nick could be a hot head and there was no telling how he was going to retaliate. He already sent me to jail for something I didn’t do once, who knew what he would do this time.

My head was spinning as I kept checking the phone and going to messages like one would magically appear. With him telling me that he understood or that he sent the text to the wrong person, that it was not meant for me. But nothing.

“Olivia, what is wrong.” Marcus asked coming in. I handed my phone to him. showing him the text. “I don’t know what kind of man this is, doesn’t he know the kind of woman you are, how can he even think you would do something like this? You were his wife, and he should know that you are better than that.”

I didn’t think I mattered that much to the man, if he could send me to prison. for Sandra back then, a nobody, who knew what he was going to do this time when he thinks I went after his family. “Olivia, what are you afraid of? I told you that I will protect you.”

He didn’t know Nick; he was not from there and he didn’t know the kind of connections he had and the damage he could cause. “I am afraid that he will take my son away from me.” Marcus said nothing. “We can send him away again if you want to. Trust me, he will never find him, I will make sure of it.”

I appreciated his willingness to help but I didn’t want to send my son away again. I wanted to be with him, and I didn’t want to miss more of his life while I fight with his father. “No, I am not sending him away. If Nick doesn’t believe I didn’t do this then I will wait and see what he is going to do. But I am not sending my son away again.”

He pulled me to sit on the couch. “I will have someone here twenty–four seven keeping you and your son safe. If Nick or his people try something, we will be ready. Don’t worry everything is going to be alright.” I nodded just to get him to shut up..

But I knew Nick better than he did, if he wanted to do something to me, then no one was going to stop him. Nick Jones always got whatever he wanted. I took my phone and texted Ethan. “Nick, thinks I am the one who leaked the information about his father.”

pressed send and within a minute my phone rang. “What makes you think he suspects you?” he asked the moment I answered. “Because he sent me a text telling me exactly that and said i must await his retaliation.”

Ethan cursed under his breath. “Olivia, I think someone is setting you up and preventing you two from ever reconciling. Even if it’s not as husband and wife but just you two getting along for the sake of Samuel is a threat to this person. He or she wants to keep you fighting as enemies.”

Sandra came to mind. That woman has been out to get me the moment she landed in New Village. She turned Nick against me, and she admitted to wanting revenge on me. for what, I didn’t know. “You think it could be Sandra again?” Ethan sighed. “I don’t know Olivia. I didn’t think much of it when I saw the news. I didn’t think Nick could be this dumb again but clearly, I was wrong. I will look into it and get back to you.”

I cut the call, and I looked at Marcus. He was quiet and even looked angry. “I need his help; he helped me before.” I told him. “Yes, he did, and I am not disputing that. But tell me this, if he were asked to choose between you and his best friend. Who do you think he would choose?“.

I kept quiet. Ethan and Nick grew up together and have been through a lot together. Yes, he helped me before and I know he only did that to punish Ethan for being stubborn and letting his child be born in prison. But I didn’t think Ethan would choose me over Nick, not fully.

“Your silence says it all. You can trust Ethan he is a good guy but before you put all your trust in him. think, Olivia. I am leaving, call if you need me.” he stood and left. I sat there scared out of my mind thinking about what that man would do.

Not knowing what he was going to do and when to expect it drove me crazy. I jumped at every little noise with the events of the day I was arrested back in my head. It was quiet like it was now when he budged in with police and sent me to jail.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I stood and went to close all the windows and making sure both doors were locked in the house. Then I went and close my son’s window then climbed into bed next to him pulling him towards me. “I promise you baby, I will not let anything happen to you. Mama will rather die than let anyone hurt you or take you away from her.”

I prayed in my head. ‘Lord, give me strength and please protect my son.”
