Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

ETHAN

I was about to drive out to pick up via, so I can take her to her grandmother’s grave just sat in the car when James, my driver and bodyguard spoke. “Sir, I just got an alert, someone just accessed Mrs. „Jones’s prison record “Nick! What the hell are you looking for?

“We knew this might happen one day James, that is why we took so many precautions. I assume they didn’t find anything, yes?” He nodded. I could not afford to let Nick find out about Samuel. He didn’t deserve to know anything about that boy.

“Keep it that way. And James, if Nick ever found out about Samuel and everything that happened to Olivia in there. I will forget everything we have been through and all the years you have worked for me. That means, I would put you down like I dog, if that ever happened.”

He swallowed hard and started the car. Nick thinks he is the only one who is connected enough to make things happen. I was connected too, and I didn’t become a tech billionaire by chance, I was and so were my people. If I didn’t want him to find anything then he will not!

Getting to his parent’s house Olivia was waiting outside. She looked so skinny, but she didn’t lose her beauty. She was still as beautiful as the day Nick first introduced her to me. She still took my breath away and made me so stupid that I stumble on my words.

I got out of the car, and she smiled at me. “How are you, Olivia?” she nodded getting into the car. “I could be better, but I am taking it one day at a time” Sitting nex to her in the backseat, being that close to her, it made happy

“Everything is going to be alright, trust me.” she offered me a small smile and the rest of the drive was silent. I didn’t care at t not talking, she was next to me and that’s all that mattered. The car came to a stop at a graveyard.

She took a minute before getting out of the car. In silence, I led her to her grandmother’s grave. It was sad because it had no headstone of picture on it. It was just a grave. “This is it.” She glanced at me. with her eyes already glittering with tears.

Her grandmother’s grave was the only one with no headstone or photo. I could only imagine what she was feeling at that moment. Before I could offer my apologies and tell her that we can fix it. That we can put a headstone on the grave. She fell on her knees in front of it crying uncontrollably.

I wanted to take her into my arms and comfort her. Tell her that everything was going to be alright. That we could make that woman pay for what she did to her. But I had to hold myself back, she was still my friend’s wife. My moron of a friend. He didn’t deserve her.

“Look at it Ethan, look at my grandmother’s grave. It looks like someone who had no family. She was buried like a dog. Nick didn’t even bother to put a headstone on her grave, how could he do something like Ethan, please tell me how.”

Seeing her crying like that hurt me deeply. She didn’t deserve to suffer like that. she deserved all the good things in life. “Nick didn’t bury her from what I heard. Her neighbour buried her, but she is also an old woman on pension. She didn’t have enough money to put a headstone and all that. but she did what she could. We should be grateful for that.”

cold and distant. “You are telling me that he didn’t even have the

decency to bury my grandmother?” I said nothing but look a r. the way she was looking at me got me scared.

Something changed in her at that moment, I didn’t know what, but she looked cold and had these dead looking eyes. Gone was warmth. in them that I loved, gone was the spark in them, that twinkle. especially when she smiled. Now, I can’t even tell what it was that remained in those beautiful eyes.

“I want them to pay Ethan, I know Nick is your friend and I will not involve you in this. But I am going to make him pay, both him and Sandra.” The look in her eyes when she said that scared me but also made me want to help her in any way I could.

“We will out a headstone on your grandmother’s grave, and I can give you a job.” She shook her head. “No, you have done enough. Just continue taking care of my son.” She stood and looked at the grave one more time.

“Nick is the one who is going to regret everything, and he is the one who will one day come here and put a headstone. He is the one who is going to come here begging for my grandmother’s forgiveness. Mark my words.”

Having nothing else to say, I nodded. I didn’t know what she was planning but I knew what I had to do. “You should start applying for jobs then if you don’t want me to give you a job. I will give you a good recommendation.”

She laughed so hard throwing her head back. She looked like a mad wornan. Even her laugh was sad. “You recommendation will mean nothing Ethan. I have a criminal record; I was imprisoned for stealing millions from Jones enterprises. Who do you think will dare hire me after that?”

I bailed my hands into fists. Nick sure ruined this woman, how was i going to help her when she didn’t trust me?

“Don’t worry Ethan, I will be alright. How can I not worry when she had dead eyes like that and looking like a skeleton? Damn you, Nick!
