Revenge After Divorce by Black Rose

Chapter 0130 NICK +25 BONUS I sat there and watched my mother leave after dropping such a bomb on me. I didn't know if I should take what she said seriously or as just rumblings of an old and frustrated woman still grieving the loss of her husband. As a son, I should be listening to my mother and trying to make her life easy.

But my mother was like no other, she was no ordinary woman and even the way she spoke one could tell that she wasn't the housewife everyone knew her to be. Mother had mafia blood running through her veins and even when I want to ignore sof the things she says, it's hard to because of her background.

I might ignore them only to regret it later when she acts on them. “Tellwhat is on your mind?" Ethan broughtback from my thoughts. I looked at my friend and he had this look I couldn't decipher on his face.

"I don't know what to make of the threat my mother just... I shook my head no longer able to continue with what I was saying. I wished I remained ignorant to everything that she was and still is. It was true what they said that ignorance is bliss. I was good not knowing that when my mother says she would kill me, she spoke of something she could actually do.

"Look man, Luke is starting to see you in a different light and not as someone he wants to put a bullet through his head. Don't go spoiling that because of your mother. In whatever you do about what she said and Olivia. Make sure you protect her this time." I sighed feeling exhausted. When would it end, when would I get my happiness back and not have to worry about my mother or anyone else ruining things for me. I went to the small table at the corner on my office with my liquor and poured myself a drink.

The hard liquor burned my throat as it went down, and I welcomed the sensation. I turned to my friend. “I don't plan on hurting Olivia but sometimes things happen that are out of my control that I end up being to blfor them one way or another." I sipped my drink. "I am not saying I have not done shit, I have, and I have apologized for all of it. but then there is my mother who is just waiting to start shit as well. What am I to do with that?” Ethan shifted on his seat. I studied his movements, and he continued to shift uncomfortably on the seat.

"What are you hiding?" He quickly lifted his head to look at me. when Ethan was going to lie, he looked a person in the eye to try and convince them that he was not lying. But I knew him better than anyone. "It's okay, Ethan. You don't have to tell me. as long as it won't put the people I love in danger." He nodded. I went back to my seat and leaned back. I turned the chair around looking back at the view of the city. Nick, tellthe truth. Are you really going to let Olivia marry Marcus, are you really giving up on her?" to think he was the one who convincedto let her be happy he sure was worried aboutlosing her.

Or was he worried about himself not having a chance with her once she was married to Marcus and wanted to useto make sure that doesn't happen? I hated the person I had become, now I was doubting my friend because of all the shit that happened recently.

"Let it go, Ethan. It's done." I answered without turning to look at him. "Gentleman!" I heard Marcus's voice." Sir, I tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen." My PA said. I just lifted my hand and waved her off. No one could stop Marcus from doing whatever he wanted.

Piece of shit managed to take my wife, and I couldn't do anything about it. what was coming into my office unannounced? "What are you doing here? You seem to forget that we are not friends Marcus." I asked still look at my view and sipping on my drink.

"I didn't cfor you, Nick." 7/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 0130 "Whoever you cfor, I am sure he has a phone. You could have called but no, you cin person instead. I wonder why. Regretting taking what belongs toalready?" I heard him chuckle. He must have thought that I was making a joke, but I wasn't.

If he was tired of my wife, then I was more than happy to take her off his hands. "You wish boy, Ethen. Be my best man. Don't get the wrong idea though, we are not friends as your best friend said. But you mean a lot to Olivia and because of her. I want you there."

I laughed. "Stop trying to justify it man, you don't have friends and that is why you are asking mine." This tI turned because I wanted to see ΕΠ the look on his face. And yes, it was priceless, hahah. “Fine, I don't. happy now?" he looked at bit sad when he said that. I wished I could feel bad for him, but I couldn't, it was just so satisfying seeing him that way. "It is true what they say, huh?" he furrowed his eyebrows.

"What?" I laughed now feeling more at ease and a little happy. I have not laughed in a long tand I must say. The man made my day. "That we can't have it all. I mean look at you, billionaire with all the money you can spend; my wife on your arm and son. And yet, you don't have a friend to stand by your side on your wedding day." I saw that sadness again and I couldn't control my laughter. Jesus! Somethings are just too good. "You are right, Nick. We can't have it all. just like you can't have what is now mine even with all the money you also have." He shrugged. The bastard.

"I will stand with you." I looked at Ethan, no I glared at him. "Sometimes one must do something for another from the goodness of his heart, to be kind. It's Marcus's day and he wants to share it with me, I say why not and so what if we are not friends?" the smirk on Marcus's face madewant to wipe it off with a punch.
