Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

NICK

I threw the phone on the wall, and it shuttered into pieces. Father looked at me with a raised eyebrow not moved at all by my outburst. Just when I thought I was wrong about my wife, she goes and does something like this, If she wanted to be with Walker, then why couldn’t she just be with him without doing such things.

I now don’t regret sending her to jail, it was clear that she deserved it, it was only a pity that my son had to be caught in the middle of his mother’s schemes resulting in him being born in prison. I wanted to make it up. to her for sending her there. To bring her back home but I was just fooling myself.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Olivia was worse than I thought, it was clear that I didn’t know the woman I married at all. “Stop pacing of you will dig a hole in my study and I don’t want that.” he was pissing me off as well. How could he be so cool when our world was falling apart.

“Reporters are camped outside waiting for you. Our investors and board of directors want answers, hell. I want answers as well. Just what the hell are you doing with that girl dad? Why couldn’t you just go see a shrink if you needed someone to talk to, why go to that club, to her?”

He learned back. “Anyone outside of this family is not important. Investors. we don’t need, and the board has no say in how this company is run. This is the Jones enterprise; it is our name on those doors no one else’s, if they want to go then they can go, and we will be fine. We come from old money. son and what we declared is not even close to what we own.”

I was shocked, I never knew that he never told me. I always thought that the business started with grandpa then him and now me. I didn’t know we come from old money. “How old, dad?”

“Ten generation’s old. So, trust me when I say, we will be alright.” At least that part was sorted but still, our reputation was still on the line, and he was. hiding something. Now the sun was coming up and mother was going to wake up soon.

“Look Nick, I know you want answers, and I am going to give them to you. but not before I speak to your mother first.” The bastard wanted to go lie to my mother and cover his ass. I was not going to allow him to make a fool of my mother.

I was going to be there when he spoke to her, I too deserved to know what he was hiding. “Fine, dad. But we can’t keep hiding in this house, sooner or later we will have to go out there and answer for this or at least give a statement of some sort.”

Father ignored me and walked out with me following behind. “I am going to make breakfast for my wife.” Okay whatever he was hiding was bad if he was going to bribe mom with breakfast. “Is this going to affect this family. more than it already has, will it affect mom that much?” dad said nothing as he took out ingredients to make the breakfast.

I decided to keep my mouth shut and check on the news on my phone. “We have been waiting for Mr Jones senior to give a comment on the news about him that broke last night. The Jones enterprise has not issued at statement as well. Now the question remains. Are they hiding something? Stay tuned as we continue to wait for the Jones to say something.”

“Switch that off Nick, we don’t need that here, not now.” I glanced at him, and he didn’t look bothered at all. Old money or not, I didn’t want to be remembered for this scandal everywhere I went. I still had Olivia’s scandal following me and I didn’t need another.

But I kept my mouth shut since he thought he was going to solve this and that there was nothing to worry about then I was going to wait and hear what he had to say. Mom soon walked into the kitchen, already showered. and looking fresh.

“Something smells nice, morning darling and Nick. What are you doing here. this early?” I looked at dad waiting for him to deal with it. “He is here for me. Sit down and I will serve you breakfast then we talk.” Mom looked at me and I said nothing and focused on my coffee.

“Okay” she ate talking to me from time to time and asking when I was going to talk to Olivia about bringing Samuel for a visit. Talking about Olivia pissed me off, that woman was a snake, and she knew how to play people with that innocent face of hers.

I just told mom that I will ask her, or she could call her and find out. “Okay, am done now. Let us talk James. I can feel the tension in this kitchen, and I don’t want to have to resort to cutting it and you will a knife to get to the bottom of what is going on.”

Father nodded. “Let’s talk in the lounge.” Mom stood and they followed each other out. I followed too but dad turned and glared at me. I stopped and watched them walked to the study and closing the door behind them.

I went there and put my ear to the door trying to listen to what they were. saying but no. I couldn’t hear a thing and that frustrated me to no end. What! Why the hell would you do that for, couldn’t you find another way? You are not a stupid man James but this time, what you did, it was stupid. Damn it!”

I heard mom’s voice, and I opened the door curious to know what was going on. They both looked at me. “Does he know about this?” mom asked, and dad shook his head. Gone was the cool demeanour he had earlier now replaced by shame. I wonder what that was for.

“Well Nick, your father decided to look for your sister without telling me.” I frowned confused; I didn’t have a sister.

“From his first girlfriend who died before we met. He told me about her when we started dating but he didn’t know where her mother disappeared to with her. You have a older sister and that is who your father has been spending time with. The moron!”
