Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

OLIVIA

Guilt ate away at me, now that I knew that Nick wasn’t the one who sent those people to hurt me in prison. I felt guilty that I was doing all that to him. yes, he did his fair share of hurtful things to me, but I did not want him to die. One day Samuel was going to ask who his father is and why he wasn’t in his life.

I want to be able to look my son in the eyes one day and tell him who his father is and why he wasn’t in his life growing up. It would kill me to have to tell him that his father died, and I had a hand in it. “Ethan, I don’t want Nick in our lives, he might be innocent on somethings, but he has done a lot to me and his presence in our lives right now, is putting my son and everyone I love in danger,

Ethan nodded, he knew as well as I did that the decision made to keep Nick away, was not taken lightly. I was sorry he was sick but as guilty as I felt, I couldn’t let him back in, not with Sandra still on the loose and not when he is still protecting the woman. “I know, Olivia but my friend is sick, and it doesn’t sit well with me.”

He stood, “You are going to need a place to stay since your house burnt down. You can stay with me or use one of my properties.” I shook my head no. I said I wanted to stand on my own and that was what I was going to do. Staying with him was not going to help me in any way. “Thank you, Ethan but I am going to be fine.”

He looked at me. “Olivia, I will not let you stay at a hotel with a child. He needs to be in a home, to play and go outside whenever he wants to. He can’t do all that while stuck in a hotel room.” I offered him a smile. He took care of Samuel for two years, I got where he was coming from, and I liked that he cared about him.

But I was his mother, and I was going to provide for him. Care for him and keep him safe. “We will be alright, really and we won’t be at the hotel long. A week at most then we will be out.” I wanted to tell him what my plan was but then that would defeat the purpose of what I was trying to achieve.

“Alright then.” He started walking away but then stopped and came back. I wondered what he forgot. “Olivia, when all of this is over, I would like to take you to dinner. I want us to talk about something.” My mind went wild thinking about what he wanted to talk about. But no matter what I had in mind, I still didn’t know. noveldrama

“Alright Ethan.” I agreed, the man took care of my son for me and the least I could do is listen to him when he wanted to talk. He grinned then walked away, leaving me wondering what that was about. I fell asleep on the chair after he left, and I was woken up by the doctor after checking on Marcus. He was doing his morning rounds before he left.

He told me that Marcus was doing well, and they expected him to make a full recovery. I was glad to hear that. I then went and checked on Grandma Susan and the doctor told me that she would be discharged in the afternoon. I called Lupita and gave her the news before going to the cafeteria for coffee.

I was waiting for the shops to open so I could do some shopping for Lupita and her grandmother before sending them to the airport. Their stuff burned with my house. I sipped my coffee slow/with my mind focused. “Olivia.” I

tensed, I didn’t want to talk to the woman, and I wished she could leave me the hell alone.

“It must be nice being you, huh? Sipping coffee while my son is laying on a hospital bed with a weak heart. If things continue this way for him then he is going to need a transplant soon. Are you going to give him your heart since you are killing bis?”

I had no time for her. I stood and went to throw the cup in the bin then started walking away. But the devil visited me early that morning. She came and stood in my way stopping me from leaving. “I am talking to you, Olivia, you ungrateful brat!” I glared at her.

She was pushing me, and it wouldn’t be long before I pushed back. “Get out of my way Elodie.” She laughed when I called her by her name. “Now, I am Elodie. What happened to mother? You used my family enough and now you call me by my name and help in killing my son. Wow, you are good.”

“I don’t want to argue with you, I don’t have anything to do with what happened to Nick and you know it. You are just looking for someone to blame but that person is not me. I am grateful for everything you did for me and even getting me out from jail after your son sent me there. But I will not stand for anymore insults.”

I paused taking deep breaths, I was tired and trying not to get angry. “Don’t you think that everything your family has put me through is punishment enough for whatever it is you are blaming; me for?” she scoffed flipping her beautiful hair back, I always loved her hair, how thick and foll they were.

“You think that can ever be enough? My husband is dead Olivia and you father can’t let my son breathe. How do you think I feel about that?” I couldn’t anymore I just couldn’t take it. I tried moving past her again, but she *moved as well stopping me from leaving.

I pushed back and that was my mistake. She slapped me hart across the face that I saw stars. “You will lose that hand for what you did.” His voice was cold, low, yet stern. The temperature in the cafeteria dropped a few degrees. Fear covered Elodie’s face. She kept opening and closing her mouth, but no words came out.
