Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

NICK

“What are you standing there for? Go get me my daughter–in–law back, tell her you are sorry and that you will do better. Go, Nick, go now.” Said my mother hitting me over and over while crying. She loved Olivia and I didn’t like seeing her that way. But what else could I do when she didn’t want me? I was not going to force her to want me

I held her hands to stop her from hitting me, “Mom, she doesn’t want me going after her. you heard what she said. She wants a divorce. and nothing I say will change her mind. I am sorry.” She cried even more freeing herself from my hold. It hurt, the way she looked at me was like she was looking at someone she despised.

“Get out, get the hell out of my house Nick!” she screamed at me, I looked over at dad, but he just sat there as if nothing was happening. I knew then that I had done more than just disappoint my parents, I hurt them. “I am sorry mom.” She only glared at me and pointed at the door.

I gave her a sad look before leaving. Ethan and Olivia were no longer outside. They were gone. I sat in my car for a while. “Where to, sir.” Oliver asked but I ignored him. She asked me for a divorce, she said she wanted to be free from my clutches.

It hurt, I still loved her, and I wanted her back, but she hates me. I fished my phone out of my pocket and dialled Ethan. I didn’t care that he was with Olivia, he was my friend first before he was hers and I needed him. “Nick.” The bastard was cold when he answered.” I need you; I will meet you at your office in an hour.”

I then cut the call; I did not want to give him a chance to make un an excuse as to why he could not meet with me. “To Lewis tech.” I told Oliver then relaxed on the chair and closed my eyes. Ol ‘s words kept ringing in my head. “I want a divorce, I want nothing from you, I want to be free from your clutches.

She wanted me to free her to continue where she left off with her

boyfriend. That was why she didn’t come back home to me when she got out. Now that I knew about her relationship, she wanted to leave me, and she wanted nothing because she still has that money, she stole from me.

Women are cruel! She got my parents angry with me and crying for her. They had no idea who she really was. Those thoughts got me angry, how dare she? After everything she had done and the pain, she caused me. She had the audacity to demand divorce from me? she didn’t even apologise or show remorse.

What the hell did she think I was? “Step on it, Oliver. What are you, an elder? Drive the damn car!” I sat up straight and looked out the window. Still feeling angry about what she said at the same time feeling sad that she didn’t want to be with me.

Did she ever love me? my chest hurt when I thought of that to a point that I felt like the pain was real, by real I mean like I was stabbed, and it hurt. I guess in a way I was wounded, the woman was my heart and she just ripped it out of my chest and stomped on it.

She didn’t care that she was hurting me, she didn’t care for my feelings. All she wanted was to divorce me. Ethan and I got to his office at the same time. I was still struggling to breathe on the backseat that I couldn’t get out.

“Sir, we are here.” I ignored Oliver. He turned to look at me then frowned. “Sir, are you alright?” I still ignored him. He jumped out the car and came to open my door. “Mr Lewis, something is wrong with the boss!” the moron yelled to Ethan who was busy on his phone.

He shoved it in his pocket then rushed to us. He looked at then shook his head. “What is wrong with you, do you need a doctor?“) shook my head. “You are sweating Nick, something is wrong with you.”

“I said am fine!” I snapped at him fussing over me like I was some damsel in distress. I pushed Ethan away and got out of the car. But the pain in my chest remained. It was suffocating “Let’s go to my office then if you are alright.”

He walked ahead and I followed. I tried to keep a straight face but the pain in my chest was causing me to sweat. I could feel my forehead was drenched in sweat and it was not that hot. The walk across the reception area to the elevator felt like miles and miles Yet, it was only two feet away from the elevator.

“Sara, bring cold water.” Ethan instructed his secretary as I went inside and threw myself on his couch laying there with my eyes closed. My chest hurt. I heard him coming in and closing the door behind him.

“You want to tell me what the hell is wrong with you?” I kept my

mouth shut, not that I didn’t want to, but the pain was so intense to a point that I couldn’t talk. “Here, drink some water.” I opened my eyes and drank the water finishing off the whole bottle in one go

Ethan looked at me with pity and I hated it. “What is wrong with yo man?”

“She wants a divorce, she wants to leave me man.” Ethan straightened glaring at me. “What the hell did you expect when you sent her to jail, when you didn’t take care of her grandmother while she was in there knowing very well at her health was fre died alone and was buried like a dog man!”

He paced the room. “You are very selfish Nick, you only care about yourself and no one else. Now, here you are after everything you did to that poor girl, looking sick and complaining about her wanting to leave you, while you live with another woman in her home!”

I didn’t think of it like that. “Serves you right Nick, you might be my best friend, but I support Olivia on this one. You have been a jerk and I told you this from the beginning. Now man up! You made this bed and now it’s time you lay on it!”
