Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

OLIVIA

It’s been six weeks since Jennifer moved in with us and west went for our two–month scan, the baby seems fine and growing well. I was happy about that, but I was not happy about other things. I might be paranoid, but my grandma once told me never to dismiss my gut feeling and ways listen to it. Maybe Marcus was right about not trusting Jennifer in the beginning.

But it was too late to say something now, she was already pregnant and living In our house and slowly taking my husband. The girl always acted innocent, but she would tald any opportunity to have Marcus tending to her every whim. Marcus doesn’t work, he didn’t need to. So, when I am at work, he is with her.

I didn’t mind that at first, it always made me feel at ease to have him at home with her in case something happened while I was at work. But the woman was taking it too far. We gave her our numbers to call in cases of emergency, but the girl called my husband for every little thing, and he would go running

She never called me not even once, but she would call her multiple times a day. When I raised the issue with my husband, he just told me it was because she was used to being with him and was not used to me yet. I didn’t want to sound like a jealous woman so, I dropped the issue.

Like right now, I just came from work, and I have not seen my husband. Lupita said he was with her in the backyard. I know I might be over thinking everything, but it did not feel good not having his attention. “Love, you home.” I didn’t even see when he came into the house, he kissed my check. “When did you come back?”

If you cared enough, you would know when I came back. But your focus has changed and now you know nothing of schedule. “What was I supposed to do today?” he looked taken back by my question. “I am not sure, but let me tell you, our baby is growing. I can already see the little bump showing” There was no bump yet. Nothing was showing.

Jeniffer was still the flat woman she was when she came here, if I didn’t know better, I wouldn’t believe she was pregnant. “She is far from showing love,”

“You say that because you didn’t see the stomach, am telling you, she has grown.” I frowned wondering where the fuck did, he see her stomach from. “How did you see it?

“Oh, she offered to show me, she lifted her shirt to show me because we were both curious to see if there was a difference and there was?” the excitement in his voice was amazing, what was not amazing though is the fact that he saw that woman half naked. I didn’t know how to take that.

She walked in just then and I couldn’t help my anger. “Jennifer.”

“Yes, Olivia.” The way she called my name so informally as if we were friends was just amazing, “I would appreciate it if you didn’t show my husband, you naked stomach again. There are boundaries and you just crossed one. If we want to see how much the baby has grown, the doctor will tell us that, there is no need for you to be taking off your shirt for my husband.”

She looked at Marcus probably hoping that he was going to say something to defend her, but he said nothing. instead, he looked disappointed. “I am sorry, I meant no disrespect, I was just excited that is all. It won’t happen again.” She said the walked out. I turned to look at Marcus ready to give him a piece of my mind should he tell me shit about exaggerating

“Am sorry love, I didn’t think of it that way or how it would seem to you. I meant no disrespect and as she said. It will never happen again. Am sorry for being insensitive. From now on, I will keep a proper distance from her and not spend as much time with her.” noveldrama

The apology took me by surprise, but it was welcomed. I was glad he saw how uncomfortable the whole thing

made me. “I am not saying don’t spend time with her, but you are over doing it, spending more time with her than with us, it feels like she is your family, and we are just bystanders in this picture. Tell me, when was the last time you played with Samuel nor heard him call you daddy

He looked guilty at the mention of that. “I am not saying don’t be excited about our baby, your blood and I know Samuel is not. But if things are going to change now, that when the division will start. When we decided not to tell Nick about Samuel, we wanted there to be no division of our family. But you are creating one love, you might not realize it nut you are, and it doesn’t feel good. We feel neglected by you, and it hurts.”

He took me into his arms and hugged me tightly. “I didn’t realize I was doing that; I am so sorry love; I hope you know that. I will do better, promise I will. God! How did I lose sight of things like this?” I said nothing. What he was promising was yet to be seen.

I didn’t want to blame Jennifer but my husband. If he didn’t give her that much attention and set boundaries for

will her. then none this would have happened. But he let his excitement blind him. “Please baby, forgive me, you.” I just nodded and unpacked the groceries I came with
