Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

OLIVIA

When I woke up, it was morning, and the doctor was busy with his morning. rounds checking on Samuel. I was on the bed next to him, and I didn’t know how or when I got there. I suspected Nick but then again, the man would never do something like that for me. it was sad to even think that he would.

“You are wake, good. I have a report for you, and you have many visitors out there waiting for you. but your husband wouldn’t let them come inside.” I just looked at him, he knew that Nick was no longer my husband. I was sure the whole world knew, and he insisted on calling him that.

“I guess you are not a morning person, alright. Do you want me to call him for you?” he was pissing me off by the second. “Oh kay. Any way. Your son is fine, and the test come back negative. We are still not sure what caused the reaction that he had but I will ask that you be careful. We don’t know if it was something he ate or touched but I suggest you watch him closely from now on.”

I sighed relieved, but he couldn’t have gotten something from my place. We had been there for a couple of months, and nothing happened. Whatever happened, it was at Nick’s parent’s house, not mine. Which was why he was never going back there.

“Right, I have signed his discharge papers, and you can take him home the moment he wakes up.” I thanked him and he walked out. Nick’s mother came in with a shopping bag shortly after. “Good morning, I thought you could use a change of clothes, and I brought food.” She placed everything on the bedside. table.

“Thank you, I will pay you back for this.” She waved her hand. “Nonsense! Just because we had a disagreement or that you are no longer married to my son, doesn’t mean I can’t take care of you. I love you Olivia like a daughter and you are the mother of my grandson.”

I nodded, she has always been nice to me, she was not like other mother’s in law who terrorised their daughters in law. The woman genuinely cared for me. Do you mind telling me, what the doctor said?” I raised an eyebrow. “Come on,

Olivia. Just because James went behind your back to get your information doesn’t mean I am the same.”

I sighed. “They didn’t find anything on the tests. They still don’t know what caused that episode, they think it might have been something he ate or touched. But they are releasing him today.” She smiled relieved. “Oh, thank God! Am so glad he is alright.”

She then turned serious. “Olivia, I know I have not been the best of mothers lately. I failed to protect you from my family, and I am sorry for that. But I will tell you this, I know you didn’t leak the news to the press, and I know someone is trying to frame you.”

I raised an eyebrow wondering what she knew that I didn’t. “I have someone looking into this for me and I will find out who it was soon. I was not here to protect you when Nick sent you to prison but I am here now.”

“Why are you doing this, why wont you take Nick’s word for it and believe him?” I wanted to know what her motive was. “Because there is no way in hell this is a coincidence, someone is working overtime to make sure things never go well between you and Nick. Also, no one messes with my family like that and get away with it and you Olivia are my family, and I will protect you just as much as I would protect Nick.”

I wanted to ask more but the door opened, and Nick, Ethan, Marcus and dad walked in. “I am so glad that my grandson is alright.” She said all smiles as if she was not serious a moment ago. Maybe I underestimated mom. Or I judged her too quickly.

“Is the doctor releasing him?” asked Nick not really looking at his mother. He only glanced at her then focused on me. I just nodded. “Why didn’t you call me when this happened?” Marcus asked as he came closer to me.

“You are not the father of the child so; you were not needed.” Nick responded. Marcus laughed turning to look at him. “You don’t know what I am Jones, so shut it.” Nick closed the gap between them and I felt a headache coming.

“If you can’t behave then I will ask you both to leave.”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“He should leave, I am the father, and I have every right to be here.” Nick retaliated. “Actually, I am the one in the birth certificate not you. You are the biological father, and I am his father by law and every way that matters. So, you both leave.”

“You put him in my son’s birth certificate?” Nick asked looking hurt. It pissed me off to no end. What right did he have to be hurt. I went closer to him; I didn’t want to yell in my son’s room and wake him up. “Where were you when Ethan was registered as a father in your son’s birth certificate, huh?” he said nothing.

“I will tell you where, you were busy playing house with the woman who betrayed me and forgot about the wife you sent to prison. Ethen is right about one thing; he is and has been more of a father to Samuel than you, if you don’t like it, I don’t care, deal with it just like I dealt with everything your people put me through in that damn prison.” I whisper yelled with my anger rising to the surface with each word I spoke.

“There it is again; what do you think I did to you in there Olivia and what people are you talking about? You keep saying my people, but you don’t tell me what people, what happened to you in there and what makes you think I had anything to do with it?” I looked at him and he looked like he had no idea what I was talking about. Or was he playing me? I clearly heard those people and what they said.

Every time they came at me, they said “It’s time to play little girl, the boss wants you to suffer in here and have no rest. We obey the boss’s orders and what Mr Jones wants; he gets.”
