Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

ETHAN

Something clicked in me when Nick told me that, “Let me call you back Nick.” I cut the call and rushed to my car. “Go back to the hospital.” The drive back to the hospital felt very long and it didn’t help that was on the edge of my seat with worry, My stomach twisted painfully at the thoughts I was having.

I hoped it wasn’t true, but it would be the only thing that made sense in all of this.” Step on it or find back roads, I don’t care, just get me there and fast.” My driver swerved and started overtaking cars careful not to hit anyone. We got to the hospital in record time, and I rushed to the third floor

Those few minutes in the elevator felt like hours, why didn’t they make those things a little faster than they were. Getting there I looked around and couldn’t spot the person I was looking for. Instead, I saw Marcus in the waiting room reading something in the newspaper. “Where is she?”

He placed the news paper aside with a frown on his face, I didn’t like the guy, I knew he wanted Olivia even though he has not said anything to her or made a move but am a man too and I knew how men do things. “I don’t know who you are talking about.” I don’t know how he became such a successful businessman when he was so slow.

“Nick’s sister, where is she?”

“Oh, she said she was going to check on Olivia.” My heart jumped. “And you let her be with Olivia alone?” I turned rushing to Olivia’s ward. I pushed the door open, and she was standing by her head, I didn’t know what she was doing but I didn’t like it.” What are you doing?” she frowned moving away from her and picking up her bag from the chair.

“I was visiting my sister–in–law.”

“She is not your sister–in–law. Get out.” A frown appeared on her face. Maybe she was not used to people talking to her like that as the madam of the brothel. “You don’t tell me what to do and I will not…” I knew where she was going with the whole thing. I went to her, grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the ward.

Marcus was standing there with his hands in his pockets with a raised eyebrow. I wanted to punch him in the face for putting Olivia’s life in danger like that. we rotated watching her because we didn’t want anyone close to her and doing something to her, the person who run us over was still out there and he let that woman go in there alone.

“Let go of me!” I shoved her away and she turned and glared at me. “Nick told me about you being Sandra’s sister as well.” She didn’t say anything. “After Nick left, I heard you talking on the phone and telling the person to leave now. That he was coming. You were warning your sister that Nick knew about her scheme, and he was going there.”

A devilish smirk appeared on her face. “And so, what if I did.” I fumed in anger when she said that. I rushed to her, but Marcus stood in my way. “Get the hell out of my way Marcus.” He shook his head. “I can’t do that man; I know she is a pain in the ass, but she is still a woman, and you can’t hit a woman.” That thing was not a woman, she was the devil herself.

“You knew about Sandra’s scheme from the beginning, you were in it together. Weren’t you?” she smiled playing with her hair. “I don’t know why you are angry about this, you should be happy, I mean, my little brother did divorce Olivia and that brought you two closer together. You want her, don’t you?” guilt hit me. “You don’t have to hide it and there is nothing wrong with it. She is a free woman now and you can both do whatever you want.”

“Something is seriously wrong with you. why would you want to separate Nick and Olivia. What will you gain buy doing that?” Marcus asked with a disgusted look in his eyes. “This was not about me; this was about my sister and giving her what she wanted for the first time. It was also about…”

She stopped herself before she continued. “About what?” she did not answer. “I have said enough, my sister wanted Nick, and I gave her Nick. Nothing wrong with that.” she then turned to leave but Marcus stopped her. “No, you don’t get to leave like that, this is more than giving your sister what she wanted. There is something you are not saying, and I am not letting you leave without telling me.”

She roughly pulled her arm away from Marcus and clicked her tongue in anger. “I will not be…”

“You will not be what, what do you know about this whole thing? You see, I knew the first time I saw you that you were bad news. You acted like you didn’t know where your sister was, and she acted like you two don’t get along. While you were working together this whole time.” I didn’t know when Nick got there.

“Oh, little brother. There is a lot you don’t know, and I wish I could tell you, but I can’t. It is not my place. But I was not about to let you harm my sister. She lied, who doesn’t?” she said it so casually like it was something normal.

“You might have helped her escape now, but I will find her and when I do. I will kill her.” she smirked then turned serious in the next second as if we imagined the smirk on her face. “No, you won’t, no one is going to be doing anything to my sister and if you have already sent your dogs after her. then I suggest you call them off.”

Nick fumed and I was there with him, who the hell did she think she was. She was nothing but a mere madam and was giving Nick orders. She might have been his sister, but they were worlds apart. “And why would I do something as stupid as that, huh?”

She chuckled with that devilish look in her eyes. “Because if you don’t and something happens to my sister. Not only will you lose your precious Olivia. I will make sure you lose your son too.”

“You don’t have the power to take me on sis, so I suggest you tread lightly…”

“No, Nick. You tread lightly, do you want to bet your son and Olivia’s lives on that? because I can prove how much power I really have.”
