Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

NICK

“Tell me something, mother. Am I really your son, did you give birth to me?” was pissed, really pissed at her. How could she? “Stop being dramatic Nick and tell me what you mean?” I looked at father, but it was like he was not even there. The man had not said a word to mother and I since that incident at the hospital.

“Why would you take Olivia’s side like that in front of everyone, in fact, your always take her side on everything. Why do you do that mother, is Olivia’s happiness more important to you than mine?” the woman glared at me sending a cold shiver down my spine. I had a fair amount of regret when she gave me that look.

“So, in your opinion, you want me to take your side even when you are being a moron? I told you to grow and be the son raised you to be. Maybe then I will start taking your side. Until then, do not question me about nonsense and I want you out of my house. You have your own, go back there. Your father and I need some peace and quiet.”

The woman was merciless with her words, I was her son and yet she treated me like I was a stranger. Even father was more affectionate with his long–lost daughter than she was with me. Was she always like that or she changed now? “Are you kicking me out of my own home?”

“Yes, what are you going to do about it? I raised you to be the man that you are. You have your own home and possessions. I have done my job as a parent, so yes. I want you to leave Nick and the next time you come over, call first.” She walked away leaving me with my jaw on the ground. “Dad?” he did not even glance at me.

He stood and walked to the opposite direction. My “Sister” appeared out of nowhere. “I see that things are not going so well for you, Nicky. Want big sis to help you out?” I sent a glare her way, she was the last person in the world I would ever ask for help.

walked away angry. Given was standing by the car smoking when I came out. He put out the cigarette stomping on his with his foot to make sure. “Where to, sir?” he asked opening the door for me. “My house.” I leaned back on the chair and closed my eyes.

Why was my world turning upside down while Olivia was living her happily ever after with her high school sweetheart and my best friend. Raising my son, without me. Everything was just wrong, and it pissed me off!

“Sir, we are here.” I opened my eyes then got out of the car. I needed some rest, the past two days had been long for me, and I needed to recharge before thinking of ways to make things better for myself. I walked in through the kitchen door and Sandra was eating take out sitting on the kitchen counter.

I then remembered that she was my sister’s younger sister. “Why didn’t you tell me you had a sister?” she tensed for a moment before placing her cutlery down and turning to look at me. she plastered a smile on her face getting up from the chair.

“Nick, you are back. Sorry I didn’t cook and got takeout since I didn’t think you would be coming home. But I can make you something quickly if you want or I can order take out for you as well.” She was avoiding the question I asked.

People who normally did that had something to hide. What did Sandra have to hide then. “No, am fine. Now answer my question.” She turned and went back to her seat and started eating again. I went around and stood in front of her on the other side of the counter.

She would not look at me, it was like the food she was eating was more important than me. I banged the counter with my hand making her jump a little. “I hate being ignored Sandra, now I will not ask you again.” She placed down her cutlery and looked at me with sadness in her eyes.

I immediately felt guilty for raising my voice at her. “I didn’t tell you about her because there is nothing to tell. My sister and I don’t get along. The woman left me alone back home as soon as she turned eighteen and never looked back. She is dead to me, that is why I never mentioned her.”

She looked sad when she told me that. but then I thought back to what our sister said that she would go and visit her but she didn’t know where she lived. “Does your sister know where you are?” she shook her head. “No, she doesn’t.

Dit and I want to that way. You don’t know her Nick, she is bad news. You have to believe me on that.”

I looked at her, but I didn’t know what to believe. It was not a coincidence that both sisters ended up in my family. Something was up with them, and I needed to find out what it was. “You have to believe me, Nick. If she came out and told you about us being sisters, then she wants something from you.”

I said nothing but turned and went to my room. Something was going on with those two, one of them was lying about something but which one? I placed my jacket on the hanger then took pills out to help me sleep.

I turned walking back to the kitchen to get some water but when I appeared Sandra was on the phone, and I stopped to listen. “I don’t care about that and if you didn’t tell him about us being sisters then who did? Because I didn’t tell him!” she glanced back and I hid.

“You better not mess things up for me, find out who told him about us and take care of this. You said I must do my part but I will not be able to if I am associated with you. Remember why we decided to hide our relationship!”

She then cut the call and placed her phone back on the counter. I walked back inside, and she jumped a little. “Nick, you scared me. changed your mind about the food?” I looked at her wondering what the hell was she and her sister up to. “Why are you so jumpy?”
