Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

LUKE

Elodie left huffing and puffing. Angered by what I said, but was only telling the truth. I loved my nephew; everyone knew I did but I wasn’t about to turn a blind eye to his weaknesses. Nick loved Olivia with all his heart, even being with Lupita now out of all the women, I felt it was a ploy to get close to Olivia.

No one could just get over an obsession overnight, Nick was no exception. They say a mother knows best and my sister believed she knew her son better than I did. That might be true, but I doubted it in that case.

I walked out and stood by the pool staring at the horizon. I wished we could have more peaceful days like those. No drama, no violence of kidnappings. Just normal lives and everyday quarrels with out loved ones.

“Penny for your thoughts?” I didn’t have to look to know that was my daughter. “Just thinking about what it would be like if we had more days like this one.” She stood next to me, arms folded to the back.

“It is a beautiful day, indeed.” I wondered what it would have been like had I raised her. The memories we would have made. The adventured we could have had. “I miss mom today and grandma.” I turned to her, it was my first time hearing her talk about her mother.

“What happened?” she glanced at me; she looked fine though and that made me wonder what brought the memory of her mother. “Nothing happened, am just thinking that she would have liked the house, living like this, baby sitting for me. grandma too.”

I pulled her into a warm hug, “Your mother and grandmother both live through you now. they are living this life with you, in good and tough times, they are with you. giving you the strength you need to get through everything. Anyone else would have broken by now if they went through what you have, been through.”

I only wished her happiness, but it seemed that was still too far from her reach. Now the people who threatened her happiness were those around her. Nick and Lupita. That woman had changed, and no one seemed to notice.

I saw how calm she was when Nick came out of the warehouse all bloodied as if he were slaughtering a pig. That woman didn’t seem fazed at all. It was almost like she enjoyed what she saw, which made me think she was the one who said something that made Nick want to get rid of Xander himself. noveldrama

“Thanks dad, I do appreciate your words and you being in my life.” those words warmed my heart. I never thought I would ever hear those word from her. she resented me when she found out I was her father and even more when she heard I was involved in her mother’s death.

Even though it was not intentional, I still had a hand in the accident that claimed her life. that was something that still haunted me to this day.

“I will always be here for you, my darling. I know that sometimes, I will do things that will make you angry and resent me. just know that whatever I do, it will be for your own good, not to harm you.”

She pulled out of the hug, looked me dead in the eyes. I offered her a smile. she did not need to worry about anything, she only needed to worry about herself and children, getting better and being the best mother she could be to them.

Everything else, I was going to take care of myself. she needed not to worry about that. “Dad, is there something you are not telling me?” Olivia, aways curious and getting herself in trouble because of it.

She was like me that way, “Nothing is wrong, and I am not hiding anything from you. it just feels, different and weird not doing what I used to do.”

She furrowed her eyebrows, I knew I couldn’t easily fool her. she was too smart for that. “I know it’s not something you are used to, and it might take time to adjust. But I ask that you hang in there, to persevere. It will

all be alright. I don’t want to be Olivia the daughter of a mafia king pin.”

I laughed, as if she were ever called that. “Right, you won’t be anymore, you are Olivia, Marcus the billionaire’s wife. No association with me at all.” She laughed.

“Sometimes I forget how wealthy the man is. To me, he is just an ordinary man, it also feels good not to lack anything. I must say, I am fortunate.” I was glad and I wished I could provide more for her. but she never askes for anything and I never knew what to get her.

“Dad why is it that you never dated after mom?” the question caught me off guard. I thought about making an excuse, but we were building a relationship and that required honesty.

“Because your mother was the only woman for me. looking for someone else after her death would have been a waste of time. I am one man woman; I am like Nick that way.” Shit!

I cursed under my breath; I shouldn’t have said that last part. She thought Nick was moving on.

“I disagree, Nick is not like you, he is moving on now and looks happy.” Oh, my darling daughter. I wished would open your eyes.

Nick was only happy to be near her nothing more. Lupita gave him the perfect excuse to continue being close to her. A man like Nick and I were the same. We didn’t give up easily.

I might have been away from Olivia, but I kept an eye on her and her mother for years. Never been with any other woman besides her. “I will take your word for it. you know him better than I do.” She looked at me as if she had something in her mind.

“Come on, I want to see my grandchildren.”
