Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

NICK

A week past and Olivia had not woken up. It was driving me crazy. I had tried everything I could think of to get her to wake up. I have asked the nanny to bring Samuel to the hospital to see and talk to her. hoping that she would wake up, but she didn’t. I even let Marcus go into her room and talk to her. mother and father tried as well but my beautiful wife remained sleeping.

Ethan was discharged four days ago, but he too lived in the hospital same as me. I would work during the day then at night I would be at the hospital with my wife. Marcus and Ethan rotated the day shift when I was at work. They would be at the hospital keeping an eye on her. We were working on the theory that if that person who ran them off the road wanted her dead, then he was going to try again.

For the sake of Olivia, we all put our differences aside and worked together to protect her. In the past week I had seen how much my wife was loved and cared for. The two men I thought had different motives towards her showed me that they cared for her as much as I did. They might not like the fact that I was the one in charge of her medical decisions, but they let me be, for her sake.

They showed me that they wanted what was best for her and I was glad she had them while I was busy acting like a moron the whole time. Some one knocked on the door and I stood and went to open the door. I didn’t want to’yell for them to come in and disturb my wife.

When I opened the door, a man I didn’t know stood on the other side. A frown appeared on my face, and I was instantly on alert. “I wish you were this alert all the time and stop calling me for information you could get yourself.” My frown deepened when I heard the voice.

It was the voice of a man I had been hearing a lot on the phone but never saw the person. He was actually there. “Uncle?”

“Hello nephew, I am not going to stay long. I am here to warn you. stop digging.” He then turned to leave I grabbed his arm stopping him from leaving. “Why? What is it that you don’t want me to find?” I demanded. He shook my hand off then glared at me.

“I have done what I came here to do and warned you. if you want to continue digging then be prepared to go to a funeral home to pick out a casket for your wife or son. Depending on what would cause more pain to you and satisfy him. but knowing him, he would go for your son knowing very well that your wife can’t have another child. Now that, is going to be the best revenge he can ever have on us.”

He then walked away leaving me confused and angry. Who the hell was the “He” he was talking about. “Tell him to show his fucking face and stop being a coward!” I yelled after him before he rounded a corner.

My phone beeped and I took it out of my pocket. It was a text from him. “Trust me, – you don’t want him showing his face. I am going underground. Don’t contact me, for your sake, I hope you listen to me.” I threw the phone against the wall, and it shuttered into pieces.

“Nick! What has gotten into you?” mother said looking shocked by my outburst. I didn’t even see her there. “Did something happen to Olivia?” I shook my head. “She is still the same.” Mother had a sad look in her eyes. Then I thought of something, and I closed the distance between us.

“You said the man was my uncle. Right?” mother’s sad face turned serious in seconds but nodded. “Who is he afraid of more than anything in this world. Someone that could send him into hiding.” Mother’s facial features tightened.

“Never ask me that again.” She then walked past me going into Olivia’s room. I got to her before she opened the door. “This is not the time to be hiding things, mother. That person could be responsible for putting my wife in that bed and everything else that happened to her!” mother shook in fear.

She shook her head, “No, it can’t be him. no, you must be mistaken.” She said moving backwards terror covered her face as she kept saying no. it was clear that the person was worse than I thought. I had never seen the woman so scared in my life. Just who the hell was he?

“Mother?” she jumped in fright that I stopped a foot from her and watched. Father appeared, “What happened, is Olivia…?”

“No! she is not.”

“Then what happened to your mother?” worry covered his face as he kept looking between me and mother. “I don’t know, the man came and told me to stop digging or I was going to be picking out a casket at a funeral home for my wife or son depending on what will satisfy him. who is the “he” he spoke of?”

Fear past through father’s eyes and I was taken back. Father feared this person as well. Just who the hell was he? “Did the man came here, himself?” I nodded and he sighed. “Where is he now?”

“He said he was going underground and not to contact him.”

“Then you do as he says, stop digging.” Father said taking mother’s hand then turning to leave. “No, you are not leaving here without telling me who the hell this person is and why he is after my family!” father tensed then stopped.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Nick, son. I love you but if the man told you to stop digging then stop digging. If would break your mother if we lost, you.”

I chuckled. I couldn’t believe him. “Do you think it doesn’t break me every day to see my wife like that? listen to my son asking when his mother is going to wake up and play with him. knowing that that he might be responsible for what happened to her in that damn prison. Don’t you think that breaks me every day? I would rather die than fail her again father and I will not stop digging.”

Father gave me a sad look. Mother looked like a crazy woman at that time mumbling something none of us could hear. “Do you see how your mother is just by hearing about him?” I glanced at mother and my heart ached. “Think about how she will be after losing you.”
