Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

NICK

1 left New Village and returned to Summer Strand, needing to take care of some things. I couldn’t stay in New Village for long, especially knowing Olivia was happy with that fool. Thuit after some time, I realized I hadn’t checked on Sandra in a while and needed to see if the doctor had been following my instructions.

I decided to go back earlier this week without giving anyou a heads up. When I arrived and went to her room, Sandra was talking to the nurse. I stood outside her door for a while, listening to their conversation. It all seemed too secretive, and what bothered me most was how Sandra booked when I walked in. She appeared like a walking corpse, speaking slowly and acting like she couldn’t recognize me or understand what I was saying.

Before leaving, I confronted the nurse about what they were discussing. She gave me some nonsense about Sandra wanting extra pudding. She claimed Sandra had stopped talking, but when the nurse offered her pudding, Sandra started responding after a few attempts. I didn’t believe a word of it. The nurse was supposed to be keeping Sandra heavily drugged to the point where she wouldn’t remember anything, not even her own name or what year it was.

I went straight to the doctor and let him have it, demanding he replace the nurse and be stricter with those assigned to Sandra’s care.

“What’s wrong with my daughter now, and why do you know about it?” Luke asked me.

I knocked back the drink I was holding, the whole Sandra situation still bothering me. How long had she been lucid? What had she done during that time?

Luke stood up, frowning. “What’s that crazy woman done now? Please tell me she’s dead, and I’ll be happy.” I wish I could say that, but that wasn’t the case.

“She’s alive, well, and talking,” I said, knowing Luke wouldn’t be happy about the news. He glared at me. “So, you came here to brag that your mistress is alive? What the hell do you want me to do about it? And why are you so determined to ruin my daughter’s life by bringing Sandra back from the dead?”

His words stung. Didn’t they understand that I had changed? I knew if Sandra got out, it would only complicate things, especially with Olivia. If Sandra was functional again, Olivia would blame me, and I couldn’t risk that. noveldrama

“Do you honestly think I’d be here if that was my plan?” I snapped. “I went to check on Sandra after returning, to see if she was still in the condition, I wanted her to be in.”

“I guess she wasn’t, and that’s why you’re here,” Luke said, looking at me with disgust. “Tell me, Nick, what did that crazy woman of yours do this time?”

Why did he keep calling Sandra my woman? She was never mine, and that made it all the more frustrating. I wanted him to understand that we had bigger problems than what he was currently worried about.

We both knew that Sandra could be dangerous if she were to be let lose. She still blamed Olivia for all that has gone wrong in her life. Her sister’s death, losing me, which she never had me to begin with but in her mind, I was hers and Olivia took me from her.

“She was lucid when I got there, talking to the nurse but they were all secretive. The nurse wasn’t truthful with me when I confronted her about it. I spoke to her doctor as well. He is going to be stricter from now on. But…” 1 ran my hand through my hair in frustration.

“We didn’t know how long she has been lucid for. “I get that tell me what you are worried about now, what problem could she possibly cause now in her state?” he just didn’t know that woman, she was resourceful and could do anything she put her mind to.

“I am worried about the fact that we don’t know how long he has been lucid for and what she did during that time. You might not believe me, but Sandra can be pretty rihless. More like you actually, she should have been your daughter instead of Olivia. She would have fit right into this mafia life.”

Luke glared at me. “I am not your mother’s father, I do not wish for my children to be monsters like me. Olivia is alright just the way she is. Sandra, I would have killed myself, now tell me, how are we going to find out if she did something or not?”

1 wished I knew. “That is exactly why I am here; 1 stayed there for two more days and visited the hospital. The doctor started giving her extra care as requested and the nurse was changed. But I didn’t find anything else out. I am also afraid to involve Ethan.”

“If that moron knows, then Olivia will know too. She doesn’t need the stress; she is stressed enough as it is.” I furrowed my eyebrows, what was stressing Olivia, did something happen? I wondered but didn’t dare ask Luke

He was already guarded when it came to me knowing about his daughter, he knew how much I cared for her and how I could sometimes go overboard in the name of protecting her. “What do we do now?”

I asked him then took a seat opposite him. I tried to think of something, a way to get to the bottom of what I saw but I came up with nothing. I had no idea how to find the information I needed and the only person who could, was one I did not want to involve.

“Have your people keep an eye on the nurse she was talking to, she might lead us to something, anything” Why..

didn’t I think of that? “Alright, I will get Given on to it, what will you do?” a sighed left him.

“I will do what I should have done a long time ago, keep the likes of you away from my daughter. If Sandra did something, you being close to her, will put her in danger. It’s time you stayed away from my daughter Nick and for good this time.”
