Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

Chapter 0129

NICK

“Olivia’s wedding is in two weeks.” I ignored Ethan, I knew he only wanted a reaction out of me, but I was not going to give him the satisfaction. “She looks happy, it’s been a while since I last saw her smiling so much. Marcus must be doing something right.” Still, I said nothing. “What do you think Nick?”

I stood and went to stand by the window. We were in my office working on a deal. Since I decided to stop bothering Olivia while she was with Marcus, I threw myself into my work and have spent most days and nights in that office.

It was starting to feel like before, when Olivia was in jail and all I could do was work. “Nick am talking to you.” he complained, I turned to him. “What do you want me to say than, weren’t you the one who told me to let her be happy with Marcus, so, why do you care what I think about her wedding?”

He just looked at me. “It’s okay to be upset about it man, telling you to stop bothering her didn’t mean you must forget her altogether. You have not seen her in the last few months man. She seems smitten by Marcus, and I still want her back with you.” I just turned back to the window looking at the view of the city.

I could see the whole city from up in my office, the view was even better at night. The city Is beautiful in the cover of night. “Come on, man.” He was beginning to irritate me, what did he want me to say? “Tell me what you want me to say Ethan and I will say it.” he gave a pitiful look; I hated it when he looked at me with pity.

I wasn’t a pitiful man; I might have been losing my wife but that didn’t mean I was pitiful. I had everything I wanted. But even with that story I was telling myself, the only thing I ever wanted and need is my wife back.

“Am sorry, are you going to the wedding?”

“Get out, get the fuck out of my office since you have nothing better to do than to torment me. leave!” he didn’t look bothered by my outburst, he looked amused instead. “I don’t know why you would act like you are alright when I can clearly see that you are not. Olivia is…”

“Olivia has nothing to do with my son or my family. Why are you even talking about her?” mother said coming in. I didn’t even know what she was doing there. “What do you want, mother?” she acted shocked that I asked, and I furrowed my eyebrows looking at her. noveldrama

She called me weak when I did nothing to go after Marcus some more and I didn’t have time to explain to her why I stopped. “This is still a family business, Nick and as a member and missus of the Jones family. I have a right to be here.” Right! Trust Elodie Jones to make everything about her.

“Now, Ethan, why are you talking about that woman here? Don’t you know that Nick doesn’t want anything to do with her?” wow! I wondered where she got that from. I didn’t remember telling her something like that.

“I was just asking Nick if he is going to the wedding.” Mother frowned. “Why would my son go to the wedding of the deceitful woman?”

“Mother!” I reprimanded. “What?” she asked acting like she didn’t just say that. what happened to mother that she hates Olivia now, those two were inseparable. What the hell happened, because I knew for a fact that Olivia did nothing to me or her and she knew that.

“You can say what you want about Olivia, but she is not a deceitful woman, and you know that. also, I don’t appreciate you calling her names in my presence.” Mother frowned. “Nick Jones, I will hate you for as long as I live if you dare bring Olivia back into our lives.” Where the hell did she get that from now?

Don’t give me that look, I know you, I gave birth to you and if you are speaking this way about her than that means you have not given up on her. Nick, if you bring Olivia back into our lives then that means you are inviting Luke into our lives. Not only him but his mafia too. I have lived that life, and I don’t want it anywhere near me

ever again.”

She paced working herself up for no reason. “Luke nearly killed you because of that Olivia, your father died, because of her and you want to bring her back into my family? Over my dead body!” I went and took a seat and leaned back resting.

“Mother, you seem to forget one thing, Olivia was not at fault about what happened to father, you are. You were the one who chose him over me and now that his dead you want to blame it on Olivia? Really, mother.” She was making me mad.

“Don’t go around blaming Olivia for your mistakes and your life choices. Even if I didn’t bring her back into this family, I will not be bringing her back for you. I will be bringing her back for me, she will be my wife like she was before, and you can stay the hell away from us.”

She looked at me shocked as if she didn’t expect me to say that. “I don’t know if you think before you speak, Nick. But some of the things you say hurt. I have made mistakes; am not denying that but who is the common denominator in everything that has happened to us? Olivia

Mother was acting Hollier than thou. But she was not innocent. She had her sins and had no right to be throwing stones. “You know what mother; I have heard enough. Please leave and don’t come back here, you have no business being here, Jones pr not. I run this company, not you.” she looked hurt by my words.

I didn’t want it to come to this, but she was pushing me to the edge. “I will leave, but if you dare bring Olivia back into our lives. I will kill her then wait for her father or you since you care about her so much to come and avenge her. but it wouldn’t matter what you do then because she would be dead!”
