Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

NICK

I woke up feeling like I was hit by a truck. I laid there with my eyes. closed just listening to my aching body and regretting drinking so much. But then something moved by my side, and I opened my eyes then turned. Only to find Sandra sleeping next to me.

I forgot about my aching body as I jumped out of bed. “What the hell Sandra!” she jumped up and sat on the bed disoriented and looking around. “What, what is the matter?” bloody hell! “What do you mean? You are in my bed!” she rubbed her eyes getting out of bed as if she did nothing wrong.

“Oh, that. Sorry, I had a nightmare, and I couldn’t sleep. So, I came here, and I asked if I could sleep with you, and you said yes.” What! How drunk was I last night? Because I didn’t remember any of that. Sandra, I was drunk last night, you shouldn’t have taken anything I said seriously and besides. I am a married man, and this bed belongs to my wife and I.”

She didn’t look at me, she lowered her head then picked up her slippers and wore them. She walked to the door but before she got out, she said. “I am sorry to have sullied your marital bed, I never wanted to be a bother to you, and this will not happen again. Am sorry.” She then walked out leaving me feeling guilty for being too harsh with her.

Sandra had no one, she caly had Olivia and after she went to jail, she had me. Now I was snapping at her for no reason. Shit! She helped me so much in the past two years and I see Olivia one time and I go crazy. That damned woman!

But what happened to her? Who I saw coming ou

station was not my wife, she was a shadow of the woman I once

new. I looked around searching for my phone, I found it still in my pocket. I dialled Given, my head of security.

He picked up almost immediately. “Boss.”

“Find out everything about what happened to my wife while she was in prison. I want to know every little detail.”

“You will get everything within the hour.” I cut the call and sat on the bed with my eyes closed. My head was killing me. But I could not sit there and nurse my hangover, I had a company to run. I stood going to the bathroom.

showered and when I came out. My bed was made and on the

bedside table was a glass of water and two aspirin tablets next to it. That made me even more guilty, I was harsh to her and yet. She still took care of me. what an asshole I was.

I drank the pills then got changed before going downstairs. I looked around hoping to see Sandra and apologize but she was nowhere to be found. I sighed and took my briefcase before walking out the door.

The car was already running with Oliver standing next to it smoking. ” Good morning, sir.” I just nodded and got inside. We drove to work in silence. When we got to the office, before getting out, I asked. “Did the missus come by the house yesterday?”

Oliver looked shocked by my question, but he knew better than to question me about it. “No, sir.” My heart sank, where was she? Why didn’t she come home to me? I got out of the car and went into the building. The employees or tered when they saw me going to their respective workstations.

When I got to my office I sat behind my desk and looked at our

wedding photo. She looked so beautiful and happy there. Where did

we go wrong? My phone wrang and the caller was my mother. 1 sighed before answering. “Mom.”

“Oh, you are still alive. Good to know.” My mother a ‘her sarcasm.” What can I do for you, mother?”

“You can tell me why you haven’t come to see your wife since she got out of prison, do you want to lose her Nick, are you now planning a life with the woman you are living with, do you want to divorce your wife for her?”

I wondered what gave her that impression. “Sandra and I are friend’s mother. Also, if Olivia wanted me, then she would have come home to me, but she didn’t.” my mother laughed mockingly on the other end of the line. “I always thought we raised a smart boy, but I see now that I have been fooling myself,”

I kept my mouth shut because I didn’t know what she meant. “Nick, do you think she will come to you, just like that, like nothing happened? You sent her to jail remember? You hurt that girl.” She hurt me first, but I still wanted her back and I was willing to forget everything she did and work on our marriage.

But she still hasn’t made a move. “You know what, I hope shel divorces you because you are very stupid.” She then cut the call. I sighed leaning back on my chair. Why was I the one who was supposed to go crawling to her and begging.

She was the one who wronged me first, she never apologized for what she did to her best friend and me. she was so arrogant as if she did nothing wrong. It made me angry that she didn’t even think of my feelings through all that.

She was my wife and I wanted her to sit down with me and explain why she did what she did. But no, she was stubborn. My phone rang again, and I sighed thinking it was my mother again. But it was Given.

“Talk to me.”

“It’s strange boss, I didn’t find anything.” A frown appeared on my face, what did he mean he found nothing, she didn’t just look like that something must have happened. “Elaborate.”

“Boss, I checked everything in the prison. All I got are details that she was there for the past two years and her release documents. Other than that, there is nothing. No report of her being sick, nothing.” My frown deepened. “Keep digging, something happened in there and I want to know what.”

I cut the call, what happened to you Olivia?
