Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

OLIVIA

Being back home felt strange and familiar at the same time. Every room I entered filled me with nostalgia and vivid memories of my grandmother and 1. The house was dirty and full of dust. Walls needed paint and floors needed to be scrubbed.

I roughly wiped my tears away as I cleaned. I have cried enough at the graveyard; it was time for me to act now not to cry, a knock came through the door, and I went to open. May was standing on the other side of the door with a pretentious smile on her face.

The woman must think I was still the same naïve Olivia from before. Yes?” I said with a raised eyebrow. “Olivia, it’s me, May.” Did she really think I didn’t know who she was? But I went along with her. Oh, I couldn’t recognise you, it’s been so long.” She pushed me aside and went inside.

It annoyed me but I kept my mouth shut. “Goodness! This house needs a good scrubbing! I heard about your arrest, and I want you to know that I didn’t believe a word they said. Media can be cruel but don’t worry, I am here now.” I rolled my eyes and went back to what I was doing. May liked acting like she had influence when the only thing she had was a craving for it.

She looked disappointed that I was ignoring her. “Anyway, I was coming from work, and I saw that the gate was open here. I wanted to see who it was since your grandmother is no longer…” my glare made her stop talking and swallowing hard.

“Well, it’s good to have you back. We should have dinner sometime and don’t worry, am buying.” I wished she could just stop talking. Her voice was annoying, and her fake smiles made me want to puke.

words warmed my heart I hoped my grandmother felt the same way was framed grandma I never stole from my husband. I was amsted for something I didn’t do and the person who turned him against me was Sandra.”

The old woman’s eyes widened in shock. “Olivia, the only Sandra I know is that friend of yours from school. The orphan girl your grandmother took care of.”

“The very same one, I don’t know how she did it but she convinced

my husband that I was evil and he believed her.

1 am so sorry child, but your grandmother and I never doubted you for a second. But you know your grandmother’s health was not good. Her blood pressure skyrocketed when she saw the news. It didn’t help that she wasn’t allowed to see you and was chased away from your husband’s house by some woman. Could it have been Sandra who chased her away?”

My blood boiled, grandma went to Nick, and he let Sandra chase her away without talking to her? how could he? “After that visit, reporters kept coming and hounding your grandma. She couldn’t take it and one day she collapsed and was taken to the hospital.”

She paused looking through me as if she was in deep thought.” Because she didn’t have enough money to stay longer in the hospital. She was sent back home and a month later she was gone.” The pain I felt was unbearable.

My chest burns and my heart broke into a million pieces. He let that woman chase my grandmother out of his house like a dog or a beggar. Nick is going to pay for what he did, and I was going to make sure he does.

Swallowing the lump in my throat I spoke. “Thank you for being

there for her when I couldn’t for giving her a burial and me an opportunity to say goodbye to her will find a way to repay your kindness, I swear

“No child, I don’t need to be repaid. Seeing you out of jail and back home is repayment enough for me.
