Revenge After Divorce by Black Rose

Chapter 0074 OLIVIA Lappreciated Ethan's words; he always knew just what to say to calm my nerves. He was my strength. But as much as I looked up to him for strength, support and assistance. knew at the back of my mind that Ethan was Nick's person not mine. That man would never do anything to hurt his friend.

He may be angry with him at times and for whatever reason But when it comes down to it, his loyalty laid with his best friend. "I saw you crying, what was that about? I can get the doctor to cand give you something for the -pain." Ma dear old Marcus. He cinto my life and helpedout of a bad situation.

"I think the Ryans were involved in what happened to the warehouse." Marcus raised an eyebrow probably thinking that I had lost my mind. “Think about it, the Ryan were not happy when I pulled out on the deal. They wanted revenge on the Jones so bad that they wanted to hurt them where it hurt the most and them working withwas going to deliver a good blow to the Jones family.

It made sense. "They only letout of our deal because they thought I would not make it on my own and that I was going to go begging to them eventually. But that didn't happen, instead, we announced a launch of our new branch. What better way to get back atthan to destroy what I was trying to build. They are not above burning down our warehouse." "Thear you but..." "What about the text I got, it said 'regretting your decision yet' the only decision I had made a couple of weeks leading to that incident was cutting ties with them." Marcus sighed. "I will look into it. They may have burned down the warehouse, but I don't think they have the resources to steal from me. Someone else did that." I sighed, I didn't want to think about someone else being involved, I especially didn't want to think that Nick was involved. I stopped my revenge on him because I saw that whatever I did, Nick was always going to win.

"Rest for now and not think about any of this. I will look into it, and you focus on recovering. The launch is less than a week away and I can't have a launch without my partner, now, can I?" that launch was not about only introducing our business to the world but about our equal partnership.

To show those who didn't have faith in my abilities that I was more than capable of handling their money. That I was more than that scandal from two years ago, more than just the former Mrs Jones. It was about introducing Olivia Williams, the mother and businesswoman.

"I will not miss that for the world." He frowned and got serious. "You better not, you scared the hell out ofwhen you didn't wake up. Don't do that again Olivia." He warned as if I did that to myself. "I will be fine, and 1 promise not to get into more accidents." I still wondered what happened back then.

Before Marcus could say anything else. There was a knock on the door, we looked at each other than the door opened, and Nick's face appeared, I tensed but tried not show how affected I was by his presence. What could he want? "Marcus, I would like to talk to Olivia alone." I looked at Marcus and he looked at me. I pleaded with my eyes for him not to leavealone with the man. "How about we have a moment of our own outside first. I have something to run by you." I sighed feeling relieved that he was going to take him away from me, Nick reluctantly nodded and stepped back out. Marcus nodded atbefore going out. They did not close the door properly and I could hear their voices. "What is it?" I heard Nick asking. "She doesn't want you here man, I suggest you don't cback again." Thank you, Marcus. You are starting to get me. "Who are you to tellwhat Lean and cannot do?" I tensed, what was I thinking? That Nick was going to roll over and do as Marcus asked? Naïve Olivia #25 BONUS Chapter 0074 "Nick, you should be focusing on what we discussed, you being here is not helping anyone. Your focus should be on what we spoke about. Things are still going to get crazier from here on. I suggest you focus on stopping it and not fightinghere. Your fight is not with me, and you know it." What were they talking about? I wondered now curious to know what happened in the past two weeks that I was out. They toldabout Nick spending his nights here but nothing about other things. What were they hiding?

"I told you how much of a risk that will be." I got up from bed and walked tto the door. It took tto get there because for sreason, my legs E forgot what their job was: When I finally got there, I was dead tired and regretting my decision to get out of bed.

I opened the door, and they turned towards me. "Tellwhat you are talking about. If it has something to do with what happened to what me, then I deserve to know." The men shared a look. I did my best not to look at Nick.

I kept my eyes on Marcus. Sweat covered my forehead as the pain started remindingthat I was not fully healed.

"Letget you back to bed." Marcus offered after observing and seeing my sorry state. But I stubbornly m shook my head. He clicked his tongue then coopedup and tookback to bed. “I said I needed you to heal and getting out of bed like that is not part of healing. He reprimanded tuckingin properly in bed. I caught a glimpse of Nick's frowning face. “I still want to know what you are hiding from me." I glanced at Nick and his eyes were already on me. I didn't know what emotion that was I saw in his eyes.

"Nick, get the hell out of here and go do what you are supposed to do." To my surprise, Nick turned and left. What the hell was going on between those two?
