Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

NICK

I thought Ethan has something to do with my men at the prison disappearing but after what I had witnessed with mother, father and the man. I was beginning to think that whoever they were afraid of was the one responsible. I hit the wall repeatedly feeling angry and helpless.

With all the fucking money I had, I couldn’t do anything to find that person or protect my wife from him. just who the hell was he? “Woah! The wall did nothing to you man.” Ethan said stopping me from hitting the wall. My knuckles were raw and bleeding. My hand throbbed but the pain was nothing compared to the pain and anger I was feeling inside.

“Did something happen?” I wished everyone could stop asking me that question and assuming the worst about my wife. “Mother knows who did this, or at least I think she does, but she is too afraid of him to even say his name.” Ethan’s jaw tightened.

“Then we find him ourselves, he didn’t go after Olivia alone. I was also in that car; I could have been killed.”

“I was warned against doing that, I was told to stop digging.” Ethan frowned. “Since when do you listen to anyone?” I didn’t but the situation was different. “He threatened my family, Ethan. Well, the man told me that is how he operated. Takes someone I love the most to cause me more pain.”

“Who is the man and why does he know so much about him? we must find him and make him tell us everything he knows. I am not going to let this go Nick. Him threatening your family is reason enough to not stop. This person has to be stopped.” I knew that as well, but I had to admit that I was scared.

I didn’t want to dig my son and wife’s graves. I had done too much damage to them already I didn’t want to add their deaths on the list. I couldn’t live with that. “I think we should tread lightly on this one Ethan; this man sounds dangerous; the man even went underground to hide from him and my mother had a nervous breakdown. She is with doctors as we speak. Father said she got worse last night and now she was right upstairs being treated.”

Father came here this morning to tell me about mother. That made me call off my men. The situation with her told me that maybe I shouldn’t be hasty or stubborn about this. “Just who the fuck is this man you keep talking about?” Ethan was angry, I was too but my hands were tied.

“Someone like you who works for my family gathering intel for us. He also, happens to be my uncle and I trust him with my life. He has protected my family for many years.” Ethan paced. I understood where he was coming from, I felt the same way but there was nothing I could do. All I wanted then was for my wife to wake up.

I wanted to take her out of the hospital and out of the country, but the doctors advised against it. Said she was too fragile to be transported out of the hospital let alone travel out of the country. I felt like I was failing her again.

“Then if we can’t dig, what is the plan. We can’t fight an enemy we can’t see Nick. We need to know who this person is, find his weaknesses and attack.” He was right but how were we going to find him without putting the lives of my son and his mother in danger?

“I don’t know Ethan; I feel so helpless and the worse part of this is that I am the reason all of this is happening.” He stopped pacing and looked at me. “What did you do now, Nick?” was I that bad that he would think I did something again.

Just who was I to my friend now? A monster who only knew how to hurt those he loved? Oh, dear lord. Don’t let me be that to my loved ones. I couldn’t take it, my eyes were now opened and I yearned to change who I had become.

“I did nothing, the only thing I did was send my wife to jail to appease Sandra, that is how this whole thing started. In that prison.” Ethan clicked his tongue angry. “How could you even say her name out loud, why would you even send Olivia to jail to appease her? she is nothing to you!” he yelled.

I didn’t want to do this, but I think it was time Ethan knew why I was protecting Sandra. “You are such a fucking moron, you are right. It is your fault, everything, all of it. You caused it and now you stand here looking helpless and hurting. For what, you should be happy this is happening and…”

“Enough!” I yelled; I knew I was at fault, but I did it for him as well. “Enough? Do you know when something is enough, you Nick Jones who has no boundaries? You have got to be kidding me…

“I did it for you!” I yelled and he stopped pacing and glared at me.

“For me? are you kidding me, what the hell did sending your wife to jail have anything to do with me?” he yelled back.

“Everything, it had everything to do with you” he chuckled shaking his head. “You are unbelievable!”

“That was your child whose death my wife caused!” he stopped then turned to look at me. I never wanted him to find out this way. In a yelling match in the middle of the hospital ICU. “What the fuck are you talking about? I don’t have a fucking child.”

“That you know of Sandra was only four weeks pregnant when Olivia pushed her in anger causing her to lose her baby.” Ethan still looked confused. He must have been too drunk that night to remember what happened,

“Explain yourself, you told me you sent Olivia to jail because she stole from you, what the hell are you talking about now?” I sighed and went closer to him. “Sandra didn’t want me to tell you because you wouldn’t believe her and because the baby was no more for a DNA test to be done. But in your drunken state you slept with her, and she fell pregnant.”

He laughed so loud that I got angry. “This is hot funny!”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Yes, it is. You got played mate.” He continued to laugh. “The last time I drank out of my mind was the day of your wedding. I never drank like that again. If you want my whereabouts four week before you send Olivia to jail, I can provide that for you. in fact, I was not even in the city that time. I was travelling a lot between Summer Strand and Tyger Valley. I would be in New Village for hours before I had to go back.‘

My head buzzed and my hands went numb. My chest tightened and my insides grew cold. I sent my wife to jail for nothing.
