Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

I stood and buttoned my suit jacket then turned to look at my uncle. “If that is what you have to do, then do it uncle. But until then, I will go after your daughter because doesn’t matter what you think of me, what I have done. But I believe that I deserve happiness Just like everyone else and unfortunately. My happiness lies with your daughter.”

I did not wait for him to reply, with a heavy heart and even heavier feet. I dragged myself out of his office. We were finally getting along, talking as we should but I guess it was not meant to be. My uncle will never allow me to be with his daughter, not unless Olivia takes me back.

I was so hurt that I didn’t even feel like drinking as that too got me into trouble. Since I drove myself, I got into the car and sat there for a moment. I took out my phone and went to my emails. I checked my old emails between my wife and I. Emails of the time we were happy together, a time before Sandra and her lies.

A time when I was a loving husband and didn’t care about anything or anyone else besides my heart. A time when I was at peace, happy and content with my life. A time when had someone waiting for me a home with a nice dinner, good conversation and lots of love.

I looked at her picture, she might have grown a few years and endured many hardships, but she was still the most beautiful woman in the world to me and she still had my heart. With a sigh, I placed the phone on the seat next to me and started the car.

I drove myself to a place where I laid my head, some would call it a home but to me, it was just another roof over my head, a shelter but not my home. My home is and will always be where Olivia is. Arriving, I parked the car on the driveway and sat there thinking.

I might have sat there long because I heard a knock on the window and when I looked up. Owen was standing there looking at me with worry in his eyes. I offered him a small smile opening the door and getting out. “Are you alright?” I nodded heading to the house with him following behind. noveldrama

“I have organised the jet for us to go back.” I stopped in my tracks and turned to look at him with a frown. I never asked him to do that. “I heard about Olivia and thought you would want to go back to New Village. Your mother misses you as well. She calls everyday to find out how you are doing.” Mother.

I missed her too, but I didn’t know what version of her I would get should I decide to visit her. in the past couple of years, I learned two versions of my mother. The hateful, resentful and cunning version. The second one was the mafia princess one. That one scared me to death, she one was not my mother but a monster.

Accepting Luke that way was fine because I didn’t know any other version of him but the one, I know now. But my mother, she was a different story. I wanted the mother I knew before everything went hell the one who loved and was very protective of my wife. Not the one who hated her for no reason.

“Good thinking Owen, I will go and pack then we can go.” turned to leave when he spoke. “I have already packed for you; I was just waiting for you to get back.” I nodded and went to sit on the couch while he went and got out bags and loaded them into the car.

I got up and went into the car. Owen drove us to the airport “What do you plan on doing when you get there?” I shrugged, I didn’t have a plan, all I knew was that I wanted to see her, for her to know that I was still there and waiting for her.

”

That she didn’t have to do things she was not ready to just to keep a man who was not supposed to be in her life to begin with. For her to know that she could come home if she wanted to. “I don’t have a plan, just want to see her.” Owen glanced at me briefly before focusing on the road.

“I don’t know if what you feel for Olivia is love or obsession, but I wish I never get to experience it in my entire life.” I glanced at him. “Then there is no point for your exigence. Love is not bad Owen, people are. You think I lost Olivia because our love was bad?”

He nodded. “No, our love was not bad, I was the one who was bad. You know everything, I did to her Owen, and you also know how much I love her. do you think I deserve to be with her after everything I did?”

A sigh left him. “I don’t know if you deserve to be with her or not. I just know that no one would ever love her as much as you do and as intensely. You have done wrong sir; you have caused her so much pain and it shouldn’t be that way. Love is protecting those you love, respecting the, giving them the benefit of the doubt in times of uncertainty. You failed to do that.”

Looked ahead for a while letting what he said sink in. “As much you hurt her and failed her, no one else can say if you deserve to have her back or not but her, but if I were her, I would never take you back.” I was shocked, I never knew he felt that way.

“Then why did you arrange this trip if that Is how you feel? he glanced at me. “Because you are not than just a boss to me, you are more like a brother, an annoying brother. It doesn’t sit well with me when you are hurting and yearning to be with her. I knew how you would be feeling after finding out that she is moving on with her life while you are still stuck in the past.”
