Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

NICK

“Gentlemen, if this is what I flew all the way from New Village for, then I am not impressed. We have a reputation to protect, and you bring me ideas like this? Do better!” I stood and fixed my suit jacket. I walked to the door but turned to the group. “I want to hear something better tomorrow and it better not be a waste of my time.”

I then walked out of the boardroom, I have been there for two days now, and they were yet to give me something I could work with. Just because Jones‘ enterprise was a big company did not mean we should relax, there was a lot of competition out there. “Sir, I have ordered your lunch, it’s in the room.

I went towards the elevator but then turned around. “I want to eat out today, I need the fresh air, I need to clear my mind and think. Take me to those beach front restaurants.” Olivia liked beach front restaurants. She like the breeze coming from the beach, she would close her eyes and feel it caressing her face gently as it passed. Like a gentle kiss from a lover saying hello.

I could picture her in my mind, looking content with her eyes close and a small smile playing on her lips. We had some good times. “Sir” I opened my eyes, I was standing in the lobby with my eyes closed, daydreaming about my wife. It was stupid.

I didn’t say a word to Owen, I just walked out as he followed. I left Given back at New Village to keep an eye on Olivia and the reports I had been getting were also adding to my frustration. Apparently, my wife has been busy this week, rerg office spaces and moving in furniture.

Now she was surrounded by men painting and moving in furniture.

One of them was looking at her with a lustful gaze on one of the pictures Given sent me. It got me so angry, who the he” td he think he was to look at her like that. He had no right! The disrespectful prick!

“Sir, we are here.” I looked and we were parked in front of the restaurant. I opened the window, and the sea breeze came in making me miss my wife even more. She wanted a divorce and there I was thinking about her. In anger, I opened the car door getting out and slamming it hard as closed it.

Why did I have to bother thinking about her when all she wanted was a divorce? She was supposed to come back to me, why doesn’t she? All I wanted was an apology for what she had done, was that so hard to do? I clicked my tongue and walked forward.”

When I got to the restaurant the hostess there was smiling a little too much. “Good day sir, table for two?” I glanced at Owen, and hel shook his head in the negative. “For one.” Her smile widened and I got annoyed. If I was not hungry, I would have left.

She led me to the table and took my order. I sat down looking at the ocean. I watched as the waves moved back and forth. I couldn’t help. but zone out again thinking about my wife. How was I going to get her to do what I wanted?

If she was the Olivia I once knew, then I wouldn’t have had a problem getting her to do what I wanted. But the woman who asked me for a divorce was no pushover, she was never going to let me walk all over her. that thought made me smile.

“Sir, your food.” I snapped out of it and that girl was standing in front of me. “Thank you.” she smiled and walked away. I started eating. but the food couldn’t go down. I was hungry yes, but I couldn’t eat. I pushed the plate away then looked over at the beach.

That was when I spotted someone, thought I knew with a child. I stood in a hurry making the chair fall behind me. Owen w myside in a second shielding me. “Sir, is everything alright?” I pushed him aside. “Pay the bill.” I walked off after telling him that.

I rushed towards the man with my shoes filling up with sand. But I didn’t care, I needed to see them up close. When I was close enough, my feet couldn’t carry me any longer and I stopped. My legs. were shaking so hard that I thought they would give up on me.

“Ethan?” I called to him not sure if it was him. But the way he tensed when he heard my voice confirmed it was him. “Samuel, come here, my boy.” He called the boy, but he laughed as he moved further away from him laughing. He must have thought they were still playing.

Ignoring me, he rushed to pick up the child and held him in his arms. The boy giggled as he threw him over his shoulder. “Who is that kid with Mr Lewis? He looks so much like you, boss.” Owen asked as he joined me. I tensed but said nothing.

I waited for Ethan to turn around. He did and he didn’t look happy to see me. He came towards us with the boy but his face was facing the other direction with how he was holding him, which I thought her did on purpose. But I had already seen him.

“What are you doing here, Nick?”

“The better question is, who’s child is that, Ethan?” Anger flashed in his eyes but then chuckled. “If you were a good friend and an even better man. You would know who the child belonged to.” He started. Walking away but before passing us, he turned the boy around. again Carrying him a different way so I could not see him.”

“Ethan, stop right there!” He ignored me and continued to walk. I

found my strength and hurried to catch up with him. I held his arm stopping him. “Let go of me Nick, I am warning you. don’t do

anything stupid in front of my son.” His voice was stern and cold as he said that. He was like a different man.

His child? No, that child fucking looked like me. he roughly pulled his arm away, but I held it tighter, I needed answers, who was his mother, when did he have him and why didn’t he tell me about him?

“Leave my daddy alone!” the boy cried out and involuntarily, my hand fell, and I watched as he walked away with him.
