Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

OLIVIA

He let her call me names in front of our son. He might have stopped her and took my side, but I could see that she still had a hold on him. I wished I knew what Sandra has on him to make him so loyal to her like that. The man never even showed emotion the day I gave him signed divorce papers.

He brought them to my office, placed them in front of me and waited for me to sign them. Since he said nothing, there was no need for me to say anything as well. I just signed and gave him the papers so he could sign. them as well and file them with the court.

The man took the papers and walked out. It was like nothing happened, like I just signed another contract with a client and not a document that marked the end of our union. But then again, I was the one who asked for those. divorce papers, I didn’t know why I was so emotional that day.

“Hey, turn that frown upside down. That woman is beneath you. Her words. should not have an effect on you and so is Nick’s. They deserve each other, they are like dogs who only know how to bark, and you can ignore a dog. You don’t have to pay attention to it just because it’s barking.”

We have just gotten to my place. Lupita took Samuel, Ethan drove to work, and I was left with Marcas. “I am not bothered, I just thought he would hold his tongue since his son was there.” He held my hand ever so tenderly making me look at him.

I couldn’t remember the last time someone held my hand like that. “Olivia, you are an amazing woman, you are beautiful, independent, intelligent and smart. Nick had you and didn’t appreciate you. What he did further proves that he never deserved you. Don’t bother with him, focus on your son and me of course.” He said winking at me making me laugh.

“Don’t be silly, I might forget about Nick, but it will be difficult to forget about his father. That man can be ruthless when it comes to business, and you provoked him.” he scoffed. “Let the old man bring it. I am not afraid of him or his son. if is ruthless, so am I.”

He was taking all that lightly, but I wasn’t. The Jones‘ didn’t get to where they were by playing nice when it came to business. They might not have spilled blood, to my knowledge but they were ruthless in every way possible. Father scared me that day.

“I just don’t want us to relax only to be sidelined by them and end up losing everything. I don’t think I can take that.” He turned serious suddenly. He looked me dead in the eyes and spoke. “Hey, trust me. there is nothing they can do that I wouldn’t return ten folds. Don’t worry about the business either, it will be alright.”

He sounded so confident when he said that, it made me wonder what resources did he have that he could use to take down Jones enterprises. They were fossils in the business with a reputation to protect. They were not going to just sit by and let a nobody take all that away.

The men I involved myself with in business seem to forget that I had a lot to lose. I had a son to think of and I didn’t want to go back to prison or to mess. much with Nick. I lost so much in the hands of that man that I was scared to cross him again. That was why I just ignored him when we meet.

I didn’t want to say the wrong thing and he sent me to jail again. “Olivia come back to me. where did you go now?” I sighed. Am sure Marcus could see the worry written all over my face. “Look Olivia, I am not the Ryans, and I am not Nick Jones. I will not disappoint you like they did, and I will not do anything that will put you and your son in danger. I promise you that.” aThis belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

I looked at him and decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. If I wanted to teach Nick a lesson, I needed him by my side. “We can move on to the second stage of the plan. Let us act now before they do. That way, they will play defence while we are on the offense.” He smirked

“Now you are talking.” He stood with his phone in hand and went out into the back yard. I stood going to check on Samuel, but I bumped into Lupital coming out of his room. “He is asleep, I am going to pick up grandma now.” I nodded.

Grandma Susan went to play cards in the park with the other old people. She saw them when we arrived yesterday and said she wanted to go. Lupita took her this morning because she wouldn’t stop nagging. “Take your time since Samuel is asleep.” She nodded and went out.

I opened the door to my son’s room, and he was sleeping peacefully with a thumb in his mouth. He looked just like his father. No wonder Nick recognised him at first glance. But it must have hurt for Samuel not to acknowledge him when we saw him earlier.

He must have thought that we never told him about him. But he knew who he was even if he knew him as his uncle. Curtesy of Ethan getting back at him. A knock came to the door, and I closed Samuel’s room and went to open the door.

A delivery guy was standing on the other side of the door holding a bouquet. of yellow roses. My favourite flowers. “Good day mam, I am looking for Mrs Olivia Jones.” I frowned. It couldn’t be, could it?

“That is me.” he handed me the flowers. “Sign here mam.” I looked at the flowers. “Who are they from?” he shrugged. “I don’t know mam, I am just a delivery guy, check the note but I need you to sign here.” I signed and closed the door. I took the note, and it read. “You can play with that boy all you like but sooner or later. You will be mine again. My heart.”
