Revenge After Divorce by Black Rose

Chapter 0016 Chapter 0016 OLIVIA The anger I felt when I saw my grandmother's grave was indescribable. The pain though, was more than the anger I felt. The woman did everything forand made sure I studied and becthe woman I am today. Yet, I was not there when she neededthe most, I was not there to give her a proper burial.

She was buried like a dog with no headstone or photo. It broke my heart that things got so bad that she beccollateral damage. But I was going to make things right, those who wronged me, those causedthis pain, are going to feel the spain ten folds.

"Takeback Ethan, I am just going to tell Nick's parents that I am going back home." He nodded and we left the graveyard. Leaving my grandmother with a promise that I was going to do right by her. The drive back was silent, withthinking of ways to make money. I had no job, and no one was going to hirewith a criminal record.

That was what Nick wanted when he gotarrested and he did swear to makepay, to make my life miserable for as long as I live. "I am going to wait for you and take you to your grandmother's house." I shook my head in the negative, I had inconvenienced him enough.

"I will be alright Ethan; you can go about your day. You are the CEO of a big tech company; you can't waste your day with criminals.” His face hardened as he looked at me. if it was before, I would have been intimidated by that look. But now that I have seen real animals, that threatening look, according to him, was nothing at all. 1 It didn't scare or intimidatein the least. "Don't you ever call yourself a criminal, not in front ofand I am not leaving. Go in there and do what you need to then we can leave." I got out of the car but before I closed the door, I said. "In the eyes of the law, I am a criminal, your friend made sure of that." I did not give him a chance to try and convincethat I was wrong. Or that I was not a criminal, and I was arrested for something I didn't do. The fact was that I was arrested, booked and served time. That means, I am a criminal, my record says so. Now on applications, I can't skip that box asking if you have a criminal record. Now I will have to fill it in and explain the kind of crI have committed. Who would hirethen after reading that. "Olivia, you are back. Are you alright, do you need anything." I gave my mother-in-law a smile. I was grateful to her, if it weren't for her, I would still be in that jail cell being beaten every day for amusement. "Am fine mom, I don't need anything. But I do want to talk to you and dad." Before she could say anything, dad appeared. "We can talk about anything you want my daughter, cthis way." He took my hand leadingto the lounge.

We sat and I sighed. Before, I would have been hurt to do what I was about to do, but not now. "I just wanted to thank you both for everything you have done for me. if it weren't for you, I would still be..." I choked but I refused to cry, so. I swallowed hard clearing my throat before continuing.

"Any way, I wanted to tell you that and if I had something, I would have taken you out for a meal to say thank you, but I have nothing at the moment. So, my words would have to be enough. Also, I am going back home.” My mother-in-law stood, "Olivia, this is your home. Which hare you talking about?" I knew she was not going to take this well. "I am Going back to my grandmother's house, if I am going to start over, it has to be far away from Nick and his family." She teared up, my mother-in-law lovedlike a daughter. "How can you say that Olivia, I know that things are not well between you and Nick. But we don't support that, he maybe our son but we don't support what he is doing. This is still your home." "Things between Nick and I are not as simple as you put it mom. He sentto jail and didn't even want to hear 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 0016

my side of things. All he cared about was forto apologize to that woman when I did nothing wrong. When I refused, he sentto jail and ordered then never to letsee the sun, not to allowto have visitors. So, mother, things are not good between Nick and I. Nick, and are over."

Her tears fell. I didn't like hurting her feelings but saying things are not well between her son and I belittling it like it was just an argument we can E! easily resolve, pissedoff. She knew as well as I did that my situation with her son was way more serious than that. "I didn't mean it like that Olivia, I just don't want you to go You are my daughter and I want you to stay."

"If she wants to leave then let her go, no need to beg her." We all turned, and Nick stood by the doorway m looking angry! I was angry myself, but I figured it was a waste of time. He meant nothing to me, and I was going to treat him as such. I turned back to my parents in law ignoring Nick completely. "Goodbye mom, I will cback and see you one day." I turned to leave but before walking past Nick, I stopped and spoke. "I want a divorce; I will be expecting the papers and don't worry. I don't want anything of yours, I just want to be free from your clutches."
