Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

NICK

I saw red when she threatened my family like that. In a second, I had my hands wrapped around her neck and squeezing. I was ready to kill her right there and then and prevent her from laying a finger on my family. “Why are you not stopping him from strangling her?” asked Ethan on the side.

Marcus shrugged. “They are siblings and siblings fight.” Those morons! “You kill me, you never know who did all those things to Olivia.” I let go of her neck as if it burned me. Ethan was all up in her face in seconds as I stepped back. She coughed uncontrollably and then the evil woman smirked.

“You are so easy to fool Nick, did you really think I was going to tell you?” she shook her head as if she pitied me, me, Nick Jones, “I will tell you this though, this whole accident brought you and Olivia close. Or it brought you closer to her because she is out and might not feel the same when she comes to. At least you got to spend two weeks with her, so I guess that’s something.

She continued to smirk as I looked at her with nothing but hatred. She was more than just disgusting, she was evil. Somehow, she knew about what happened to Olivia and I got the feeling that it was not only the accident she knew about but more. “You should be thanking me little brother.”

“What the hell is wrong with you, what should he thank you for? Being evil and sick?” she laughed. “Don’t be emotional Ethan, you can still have Olivia. Nick here is only close to her because she is unconscious but when she comes to, she won’t want him anywhere near her and you can go back to loving her and not telling her.”

I looked at Ethan, he looked guilty, but it was not the time to ask him about that now. “You know who caused the accident, don’t you?” Ethan asked closing the distance between them and she kept moving back. “Would you stop that, coming close to me is not going to help with anything.” Ethan stopped.

I wished father never found her, she was evil, and I was right. She did something to my son that day. With the way she was talking, I knew she was more dangerous than she seemed. “Fine! I caused the accident.” Ethan turned red in the face and his hands shook. “What the fuck is wrong with you? you could have killed us!”

She shrugged as if it was the most normal thing to do, just confess to a crime like it was just another Tuesday. “That was not the plan, if I wanted you dead, I would have killed you when I stopped to check on you after running you over. But I didn’t, he wanted to show Nick, that he could get to anyone he loves and there was nothing he could do to stop him. So, Nicky boy, how do you feel about not being the most powerful person in the room? Must suck, huh?”

She said then walked away, I hated that the only thing I could was watch her walk away when I knew she was involved in hurting Olivia. She was right about one thing though, it did suck not being the most powerful man in the room, especially in that situation.

“Are you just going to let her go like that? she just admitted to being involved in that accident, well, she said she did it.” Ethan bellowed and I looked at him with a raised eyebrow. “You are right, she did admit to causing it, so, why are you letting her go, were you not in that accident too?” he huffed.

“Interesting!” both Ethan and I turned to Marcus sending glares his way. As much as Ethan and I didn’t get along that well over the past couple of years. We still shared one thing, our resentment for Marcus. “What is so interesting?”

“The both of you, now I get why you became best friends, you both know how to talk very well but when it comes to acting, not so much. You lack in that department.”

I closed the distance between us, he heard her threaten my family and yet he still wanted me to do something that was going to put them in danger. “I also know why it would be easy for you to act in this situation, because you don’t have a family of your own. No wife and no kid. You would never understand what it means to sacrifice for the sake of your family.”

Marcus laughed. “You call this sacrificing? You are hilarious” he laughed and that just made me angry, I punched him in the face. He stumbled backward a bit, and I took my fighting stance waiting for him to retaliate. But he didn’t, he just spat out blood. “Interesting, indeed.”

“Nick, you have not sacrificed anything other than Olivia. Now you are being a coward and calling it sacrifice. You don’t want to go after your sister and whoever she is working with because you are afraid you will lose. You don’t even know what your bully looks like and already you are afraid to take him on. You are spoilt and always have been and you are used to having things given to you, easy. You like easy.”

He closed the distance between us. “Let me tell you something, Nicky boy. This fight will not be like all those times you got things resolved easy by other people. This time you will have to man up and make real sacrifices and it won’t be easy.”

He was pissing me off big time but there was some truth to his words, it was not going to be easy to get rid of whoever was after my family. Not until I know who he is and why people were so afraid of him, why they were willing to do anything to please him, what did he have that made him scarier than me and my family.

Because people around here, feared the Jones family but he doesn’t seem to be afraid. Why? “Get out of my face Marcus before I punch you again.” I threatened. He was getting to me, and I didn’t like it one bit. “I will not let you do that again. I am not afraid of you, but this is not the time or place. Use those balls you seem to have with me on your real enemy.“
