Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

ELODIE

The Don has managed to ruin my life a second time. He should have never gone after Olivia, Nick too. Look at what was going to happen now. The man in front of me wanted revenge for what was done to him and there was no getting out of it. How was I supposed to choose between the two people I love.

I couldn’t help the tears that left my eyes, I was in pain. It didn’t matter who I choose, I knew that the choice I was going to make, would haunt me for the rest of my life. “I don’t have the whole day Elodie, I still have to go back to summer strand and kill the Don, your father. I will be damned if I let that old man hurt me again. Tonight, he dies.”

My heart sank, I knew something was going on back home, Luke was planning to kill the Don; leader of our clan and I knew he wouldn’t do it alone. He must have the support of the other elders, my father must have done something else to piss off the elders and that was why they were okay with letting Luke kill him and take over as head of the family.

We might have not spoken in years, but he was still my father, and I didn’t want him to die. “You are stalling and if you waste anymore of my time. I will kill them both. I killed the love of my life trying to get rid of that man he married. Killing your family, will serve as justice for what was done to mine.” Oh my God, Luke killed Olivia’s mother?

“You say you loved her, but I don’t think you know what that means, if you did, you wouldn’t have put her in danger and end up killing her in the process! And why did you go after Olivia and her son then, what did they do to you?” he walked towards the couch and crotched in front of me.

his eyes were cold as ice. “I didn’t mean to kill her; she was not even supposed to be there. As for Olivia, I needed her to wake the hell up and see the danger surrounding her. your family is poison including you, Ellie. You know I was happy when she married your son, I thought she was finally safe, and I could relax knowing she was taken care of but then your son sent her to jail, and your father hurt her!”

th.” He chuckled shaking his head his eyes red as if he were crying “But it’s done and killing a member of beloved family, will serve as justice to what was done to mine. Now choose or I kill them

I trembled; how does one make such a choice? I looked at the tv, seeing how oblivious they were to the situation, how they didn’t know that in the next second our lives will change forever. Please, forgive me. “Shoot them both.” Luke ordered on the phone, and I jumped up.

“No! I choose my son, don’t kill them both. I choose my son I want him to live.” I broke down and cried after saying that. I turned away from the tv, but I heard a shot, and my mind went blank. Oh James, my love. Please, forgive me.

“Now, do you understand why I am here?” I said nothing as I continued to silently cry. I just killed my husband; I felt my stomach twisting and my chest burn. I was in an unimaginable pain. “You chose to kill your husband and let your son live. That’s what parents do Ellie, they protect their children and that is why I am doing this as well. To protect my daughter.” noveldrama

He stood and walked to the picture of my family hanging on the wall. “I also, should have been allowed to have this. But your father only saw me as a killing machine and undeserving of love, family and that kind of life.” He turned back to me.

“Ellie, I still love you as my sister, but I will kill your father for what he did. That man has taken enough from me, and I am not going to let him take some more. Going after Olivia even after I let my daughter suffer and struggle all her life as I watched from afar was the last straw. He shouldn’t have done that.”

being who he was, I don’t think he cared about that. he just did as he pleased because he could.

“I am leaving now, if you do anything to try and warn the Don about what’s coming. I will come back and kill your son.” I shivered, he turned to his men. “Let’s go.” They walked out. I turned to the tv and now James’s office was filled with people, employees and paramedics came in.

My chest tightened, I still had hope that maybe he was alive, maybe Luke didn’t kill him and that maybe the whole thing was a warning to me and Nick not to mess with his daughter again. But I watched as the paramedic shook his head. There was no audio on the screen, but I could see their faces that my husband was dead.

I broke down and cried. It was painful, I left everything to be with that man. He risked his life to be with me, daughter of the mafia kingpin. He loved me regardless of my family and the blood he knew I had in my hands. He still loved me and yet today. He died by my hand. Luke’s people might have pulled the trigger, but I made the

My phone rang from the couch, but I didn’t pick up or even look at it. I knew what was coming and I wasn’t ready to hear it. I wasn’t ready to face the reality of what I had done. “James, please. Forgive me.“
