Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

Chapter 23



NICK

A month has passed with my people searching the hole of Summer Strand for that boy but so far, they have not been able to find him. Ethan might have moved him somewhere else, but I couldn’t find any record of any other place he might have travelled to after leaving Summer Strand. The records show that he came back to New Village after leaving Summer Strand.

I considered the possibility that he might have just let who ever was looking after the boy to travel with him somewhere else. But I checked for anyone travelling with a boy names Samuel from Summer Strand in that week but no luck.

I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep, all I did was work and trying to find that boy. I tried seeing Ethan and asking him about that boy, but he would not talk to me. He just seemed like he resented me, and I didn’t know why. The man was worried about me knowing about his son yet, he didn’t know about the one who died.

I wished I could tell him to stop being full of it and tell me what I needed to know. But I made a promise to Sandra that I wouldn’t say anything to him about that child. But why was he keeping mine away from me? Olivia tried to lie to me that day, but I could tell she was not confident in what she was saying.

She knew something about that child. She and Ethan were hiding something, and I needed to find out what it was. “Boss, we are ready.” Given said. “I am no longer going to that meeting, tell Shonda to reschedule it. I am going to my parent’s house.” I knew they were angry with me, and I had not gone there since that day when Olivia asked me for a divorce.

But i needed them, mom would be able to talk to Olivia and she would tell her about the child, I walked out of the office and ded

to the car. Just as I got out of the office a truck passed by wi…en. O &S Logistics. I watched it as it drove by. That was one of Olivia’s trucks. I assumed O was for Olivia and S for who.

Her logistics business was starting to be recognized, I have also sent clients her way but asked them not to mention my name when they contacted her. I didn’t know why I even bothered when she wanted to divorce me. Maybe I was trying to make up for the two years she spent in prison. I didn’t know myself.

“Boss?” Given called to me, he was standing by the car with the door opened. I went and got inside. I looked out the window as we drove. My phone buzzed in my pocket. Sandra’s name flashed on the screen, and I couldn’t help but think about what Olivia said.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Maybe she wanted me to kick Sandra out of our house before she could come back to me and tell me about that boy. The phone stopped ringing with me looking at it and not answering. A text followed soon after. “Hey, Nick. I wanted to know what time you will be picking me up for the gala.”

Shit! I cursed under my breath. I had been living in the office and not going home since I came back from Summer Strand. I spent every waking minute trying to find that boy and ways to get Olivia’s file from the prison.

If I could get her file, then I would know If she gave birth in prison or not. I tried looking for those police officers who were working there the time she would have given birth but no luck. One was dead and the others disappeared. Which made me come to a conclusion that Olivia had help.

IAMAA

Someone didn’t want me to find out what happened to her in there and that someone was connected almost to the same level as I was. It was someone with the means to make people and prin records disappear. I couldn’t think of anyone other than my best riend Ethan, he was the only person other than myself with abilities like

that

Which would explain why he refused to help me find those prison records. My people tried and failed to get them. “Boss, we are here.” I looked out and we were parked in front of my parents‘ house.

I opened the door and walked out. I opened the front door and walked inside. I could hear my mother’s voice as I walked in. I followed it to the lounge where she was sitting and talking to my

father.

When they saw me, they kept quiet. I went and joined them. “What is wrong with you, why do you look like you have been living in the streets?” mother asked but I didn’t respond. I laid back on the couch with my eyes closed. I was tired.

“Son, what is the matter, is the company in trouble?” I opened my eyes when I heard my dad’s voice. I haven’t heard it in a while. It was good to hear it. “No, dad. The company is doing very well.”

“Then why do you look like that? you are so thin, Nick. Are you sick?” my mother’s concerned voice came and my heart broke. She still cared for me, even after I disappointed her. She cared. “No mom am not sick. I just haven’t been eating or sleeping well.”

She shared a look with my father. “It’s because of the divorce, isn’t it? You can divorce Olivia if that is what you want Nick. I love her like a daughter, and I hate what you did for things to get to this point. But If divorcing her is going to make you happy, if that woman makes you happy then we will support you

There was nothing between Sandra and I. but I was happy that they cared enough to want to support me no matter what I decided to do. “I want you to talk to Olivia for me mom. I tried to find him myself, but I couldn’t. Please mom, talk to her. I need to know about him, and I need to find him.”

My parents looked confused. As they should, I was not making any sense. “What are you talking about Nick, do you want your wife back?”

Yes, I did but that was not why I needed their help. “No, I mean. but I can do that by myself.”

“Then what do you want us to do?” my dad asked. “I think Olivia had my baby while she was in prison?” mother dropped the cup of tea she was holding, and it shattered at her feet.
