Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

MARCUS

I sat there and watched my wife. From the first moment we arrived at the restaurant, and she saw the guys to the moment that woman arrived. When she saw the guys, she had been disappointed, she wanted the celebration to be justnoveldrama

us.

I got that but I didn't want them coming to our home, I had promised they could see Samuel after three months of therapy. I had been watching them, keeping tabs on them and making sure they were going.

They never missed a session, and I had to keep my word as well and let them see the Samuel. My wife didn't like that especially because I didn't tell her they would be there. I was going to fix that when we got home.

Then when that woman came and joined us then Ethan introduced her his girlfriend. I could see the fear in her eyes. My wife had been through so much that she was now weary of everyone. Both men and women had hurt her, badly and now she didn't trust anyone.

Then Ethan said those things, I didn't know what he was thinking, I didn't know what he wanted from my wife. But I hated it, he was making her someone people could hate, they were using her as a shield once again and I was not going to tolerate that.

He could see that I didn't like it. "She is one of the good ones, we can trust her." Nick said, as if I were just going to accept that. "You of all people know who we are and what happened in the past when we brought new people into our circle. No offense to you Emily."

She looked so uncomfortable but that was just the beginning, when Luke met her, he was going to grill her, put the fear of God into her and make her understand that if she ever crossed a line then she was good as dead.

"I get that Marcus, but we did due diligence, we wouldn't have brought her here if we didn't trust her." Nick tried to reason with me. "We trusted Jennifer as well and look where that got us, am not repeating the mistakes of the past."

I turned to the woman. "You are not allowed in my home or anywhere near my kids. Break that rule and you will see a side of me you wont like." She started shaking like a leaf where she sat. kept looking in the direction where Ethan and Olivia disappeared to.

"Emily, remember, we warned you about this. The family has been through a lot and if you want to be part of it then you will have to prove yourself.”

He looked up at me, I was looking at her dead in the eyes. She looked as if she were going to cry. "Hey Samuel, go look for mommy, she went that way." The restaurant was empty with only us around. I didn't worry about him getting lost.

"I get where you are coming from Marcus, but could you please ease up? give her

a chance to..." I cut him short, I was tired of us doing the same thing repeatedly. It wasn't working and yet we kept doing it.

"If we accept her into the circle, you are out. If she does some shit, you clean it up, no questions asked and no complaints." Nick looked at me as if I had lost my mind. "I mean it, if she is in, you are out and that means you don't see Samuel for as long as she is here. Which one will it be?"

Nick looked at me for while not saying a word. It was like he was weighing his options, I didn't know what was difficult about it. did he like the woman that much?

"You know Marcus, this thing of you using my son to control me is getting old and soon it won't work."

I smirked. "I can't wait for the day it doesn't work so we can keep Samuel away from you. keep him so busy and happy that he forgets you even exist. You can meet him when he is eighteen and a legal adult. How about that?"

He didn't glare like I had expected him to. He just quietly looked at me. "I thought you said we should start living our own lives and when we do. You put more obstacles in place for us. What exactly is it that you want?"

I hummed as if were thinking. "Well,

I want you guys to get the help you need, for Samuel to have all his fathers and for us to stop inviting trouble Learn from the past mistake and do better. We have been hurt enough, and it has to stop. It won't stop as long as we keep bringing strangers like her in like it is nothing."

The woman was now crying. Ethan arrived and took her into his arms and comforted her. "I get it, okay. I get it. it's too soon and I get it." he kept saying that. But I paid him no mind, I just kept scanning the room looking for my wife and son.

"You should have known this would happen, or did you think Olivia was going to say it's okay for her to stay because she is good and sees the good in people?" I chuckled. "Well, she has learned that people are not to be trusted. people, men and women alike hurt her. you know that."

Ethan looked hurt, maybe because I made his woman cry or maybe he was starting to understand that things were going to be different now. He stood. "I am taking her home." I nodded but called after him.

"Remember, you are only seeing Samuel a month from now." he stopped in his tracks, it was time he prioritised himself and stop caring too much for a child that

is not his. It was time he cared for his woman and make his own child.

He hesitated until my wife spoke out of nowhere. "Take your woman home."
