Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

NICK

Ethan liked exaggerating things, what could a small–time businessman do to me? 1 am Nick Jones, and I have more wealth than he did. Why would I fear him? Ethan shoved his hands in his pockets and gave me a look like I was the biggest moron who ever lived. “What?” he chuckled dryly. Opened his mouth to say something but closed it again.

I knew what was happening when he was like that. he was trying to tell me whatever it was in the most respectable way possible to avoid swearing the shit out of me. “You know how my company is mostly into information gathering?” I nodded like a five–year–old.

“Do you think I would have let anyone near Olivia without doing a little research on them?” I shook my head again, maybe I was the biggest moron who ever lived. Why didn’t I think of that, why didn’t I ask him to look into Marcus? I think it was because she knew him from back in high school that I never thought he was a threat.

What a moron I was, that was how I lost her in the first place. Not looking into things when it was the obvious thing to do. I bailed my hands into fists cursing myself in my head. Maybe she was right to leave me. “Well, I found out that he left school in the middle of the year back then. I looked into it and found out that he ended up in London.‘

furrowed my eyebrows; it was no surprise that he came from London, but I didn’t know he left school in the middle of the year. “So? We all know that he was abroad but what does that have to do with anything?” Ethan glared at me this time.

“Tell me something, Nick. When did you become so ignorant and stupid?” those words made me angry, I was already losing everything I held dear, and I didn’t need anyone to remind me how stupid I had been lately. “If you have something to say about Marcus then say it. But don’t call me stupid.” noveldrama

A sigh left him. “Nick, which families are the most powerful in London, count them in order then tell me which on you think he belongs to.” My frown deepened. In order, there were three most powerful families in London. The royal family was first on the list. Then the Gopi Hinduja then Sir Leonard Blavatnik.

My heart raced when I got to that name. it could not be. No! With the way your facial expression just changed. I think you have just figured out who the hell Marcus Walker is.” I ran my hand through my hair and started pacing. Fuck! No wonder the man didn’t care one bit that I went after his companies; those were nothing compared to the wealth the man had. He was richer than I was by a couple of billions. “Then why the hell is his name Walker?” Ethan just looked at me. I am sure my friend was wondering why the hell was my brain not working.

I was wondering the same if that made him feel better. “Because he kept his mother’s name, probably because he didn’t want to bring attention to himself. Or maybe he wanted morons like you my friend to start shit so he can show you who the hell he is! I don’t know. All I know is that his father died that year, and he left everything to him.”

Why would he do that? what was I saying, he was his fucking son! Damnit Nick. “How do I fix things Ethan?” he furrowed his eyebrows and stared at me. “Why would you ask me that when you didn’t ask me anything when you started this whole shit?”

“I fucked up, I know. But how do I fix it?” Ethan groaned in annoyance. “Can you reverse the damage you already caused?” he knew very well that I couldn’t, it was out of my hands now and was in the hands of authorities. “I could bribe a few people to let it go.” Ethan laughed throwing his head back.

“Do you want your company to be the one under investigation now after trying to bribe the FBI and IRS and whoever else you are thinking of? Don’t be foolish. Did he seem like he was going to retaliate?”

I threw a glare at him; I had become a Joke lately and it didn’t feel good. Olivia made me who I was before and after she left me. I didn’t know who I was without her, and spent the past years fumbling around in the dark. “How am I supposed to know that? at first, he sounded like he was going to retaliate but then when I saw him again, he was busy proposing marriage to my fucking wife! didn’t think to ask him anything after that.”

The fucking man was taking everything from me, why in the devil’s hell did he even come back here? Was it specifically for Olivia or was it business? “Look, I don’t think you should go after him now. Let this one play out and stay away from him and Olivia. You actively pursuing Olivia may piss him off and that could backfire on you.” “1 am not fucking doing that!” leaving my wife was not an option. I wanted Olivia back and I wanted her to know that. I didn’t want her ending up with Marcus when I was waiting for her. “Tell me something Nick, do you have a relationship with some royal family because he does, and he will bury you if you continue pestering him.”

I swirled and hit the wall hard repeatedly. My anger blinded me as I kept hitting it ignoring the pain I was feeling. Ethan tried to stop me, but I was too far gone. He must have called security because two of them wrestled with me, moving me away from the wall.

My hand was bloody and raw. Skin opened and I think bones were showing. “What the fuck are you doing, man? Seriously Nick, what the fuck!” I could hear Ethan shouting at me on the side. I didn’t care, I was hurting, angry and lost.
