Revenge After Divorce by Black Rose

+25 BONUS Chapter 173 Chapter 173 NICK I walked into Luke's office, and he hid his phone, strange and it gotcurious, What could he be hiding? He was a mafia boss and as much as we were in good terms. I didn ask about his business, and he didn't talk about it with or in front of me. we had boundaries. Which was why Hls behaviour seemed strange to me.

"You should knock when you enter someone's office." 1 raled an eyebrow. "Since when is that a requirement?" he didn't respond but stood and poured us a drink. "What brings you here?" he asked handinga glass. I gladly took it and took a sip. "Do I need a reason to cand see you?" why are you acting so strange today, Luke? What the bell are you up to, did something happen to Olivia that you don't wantto know about? "Never mind," he said taking a seat on his chair. The more I looked at him, I noticed that he was avoiding making eye contact with me.

"I hope you are not as lousy when keeping something from your people." He threw a glare my way. "I am not hiding something." He was defensive. Just what the hell was the man keeping from me? "You have two options, one, tellwhat you are hiding out of your own free will or two, I get you drunk and get it out of you anyway.

# He scoffed standing up and walking to the window. "You think I am weak; I see. It doesn't matter how drunk you get me; I wouldn't tell you a thing." He said that still with his back on me. my suspicions were confirmed then. Lúke just tellwhat is going on, if it was business related you wouldn't be acting like this. So, I know it's something else." He turned around looked atthen downed his drink. "Olivia is having a baby." That hitlike a ton of bricks. Olivia is having a baby, how, why? "Did you hear me?" I nodded. Why was she having another baby? Samuel was still young and still needed his mother's attention.

"How is she having a baby?" he knew what happened to Olivia as well as I did. "Surrogate." Right, there was that! I stood and this time. I poured myself a drink, I downed it then poured another one before turning to look at Luke, "That's good for her, she is a married woman, and they must be ready for another baby." I didn't know who I was trying to convince by sounding as if I was not bothered by the news. I was very bothered; Olivia can't have a baby with someone else. She was mine and I was the one she was supposed to have a baby with. What are you doing, my love? I gave you tto live your life, be happy then cback to me, why are you taking this too far now? Why do you think the life you have with Marcus is your real life? Don't you know that your real life is with me? my chest tightened, and I slowly went back to my seat and sat down. Breathing slowly trying to calm myself down.

"Nick, will you ever get over my daughter?" I looked up at him and he had this pitiful look in his eyes. I wasn't going to argue, I was pitiful. "I don't know Luke, what I do know is that I want my wife back. I know she is married and happy with Marcus. He is a good guy but so ami. I just lost my way there for a while but I have seen the error of my ways and I am trying to be a better man. Forher." Luke went and took a seat. "Nick, I suggest you look for a woman and live your life. Better yet, go back to the doctor. She is the only woman you have shown interest in after Olivia. Use her to get over my daughter because you are not going to get her back. She is happy Nick." I knew she was happy, why the hell did he think I moved away for? I didn't want to see her happy with someone else because I knew I couldn't handle it. I couldn't say I was waiting for Marcus to mess up because he was a good guy. I was waiting for her to missand callback.

But now she was having a baby with him, what about me, us, our family and our future. Olivia, don't you know that your future is with me? you and I are destined to be together. Why are you fighting it, my heart? 1/2 Chapter 173 +25 BONUS "The doctor is no Olivia; I have loved your daughter from the first tI laid my eyes on her. I knew then that my heart will always belong to her. I knew that she will be my downfall. I didn't know then that I would be hers, all the more reason why I want her back. To fix things, make it up to her for that."

Luke sighed looking defeated. "That is not what she wants Nick, for your sake, let her go. You already have e heart problems man, you don't want to die young, or my sister wil die along with you, she can't lose you too."

"Mother lived her life the way she wanted to, left her family behind and followed her heart. Why can't do the same? Whether you like to hear this or not. Olivia is the love of my life and in the end, she will be mine again. I give her and Marcus two years. After that, I am going after what is mine." I was

not going to sit and wait forever. Olivia and Samuel were my family not Marcus's, he was just a distraction that was soon going to be removed. I would be damned ift give up on them like that. "Nick, whatever you are thinking, you better forget it. we are getting along fine; I don't want to cafter you as an enemy again. But if you dare do something to hurt my daughter again, I swear to you, I will put you down like a dog and I won't lose sleep over it." +29 BONUS Chapter 124 Chapter 174
