Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

OLIVIA

I sat there watching the news with my jaw dropped. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing and seeing in the news and the silence from the Jones family was worrisome. They must know that the situation was not going to go away without them addressing it.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

It was midday and the news broke in the middle of the night apparently and still there was no statement issued by the company or the family. Their stock continued to plummet, and it was not looking good. Every news house. was running the story and the video of dad going into the club and coming out an hour later.

Besides the news I wondered who did it, it was clear that the whole thing. was intentional and the question on my mind was who did it. Who had the guts to attack the Jones directly like that, I feared for that person because once they find out who the person is. That person was going to regret messing with them.

“I wish I had thought of something like this a long time ago, but I take my hat off to the person who thought of doing this. Because of him, I now own fifteen percent of Jones enterprise. I bought the shares of one of their shareholders because he did not trust they will resolve the situation, and hel didn’t want to lose out.”

That was Marcus coming in, I didn’t hear a knock or maybe I was not paying much attention to anything else. “Did you do this?” I asked him, he was one of the people who had a motive, I mean we both thought they were the ones who burnt down our warehouse.

“How can you even think that?” I raised an eyebrow. “Yes, I bought the shares, I was not about to pass that opportunity by. I am a businessman. first Olivia, but I didn’t do this. I am not like that, and I came here to ask if you had something to do with this.”

“Me? why would you think I did it?” he shrugged. “Because of the same. reason you thought I did it.” I sighed. “I got this text a few days ago.” I showed him the text I got. “Why didn’t you tell me about this sooner? I will check and try to find out who sent it.”

I shook my head, I already asked Ethan to check for me and the phone was not registered. It was only used once to send that text then it was disconnected. “I already checked, and I found nothing.” He nodded. “I think it’s someone you know. Do you think the Ryans could have done it?” I didn’t know.

I knew they were capable of tapping phones and corporate espionage, but I didn’t know if they could do something like that. “I don’t know.” I didn’t want to accuse anyone without evidence. I was accused without evidence, and it was not nice. It ruined my life. If I was going to accuse someone of something, I would need evidence like with the Ryans before.

“This is getting out of hand Olivia. Whoever burned down our warehouse might be the same person attacking the Jones family now. The Jones might not be our enemy at the moment but someone else who wants to make it look like they are.”

He could be right, but what would that person’s end game be? Nick and I were divorced, and I had nothing to do with him. hell, I didn’t even have business dealings with them. “If that is the case then what could be the reason for pinning us against each other?” he shrugged.

I sat back, maybe I didn’t think this revenge thing clearly. It seemed to bring us more trouble than it was worth. I wanted a peaceful life with my son and if I continued to pursue revenge. I might not find peace for a very long time.

“What are you thinking?” I shrugged, I was exhausted, and we were not even on the second stage of this revenge thing, and I no longer wanted it. “That maybe we should put a hold on the second stage of our plan.” He looked at me for a while without saying a word.

“Revenge was your thing, Olivia. If you want to stop it, then we stop it. I do whatever you want me to do when it comes to the Jones. I understand why you would want to stop and keep the peace with them. They are your son’s family.” I sighed.

“Let’s just focus on the launch right now, anything else can take a back seat.” He nodded and got up saying he was going to make some calls. I guessed to put everything for stage two on hold for the time being. As much as the news kept going. I still believed that dad was not that kind of a person.

The man loved his wife too much to do something like that. The way they were with each other, the way he looked at her like she was the only woman in the world. Someone like that would not change overnight. There must be an explanation.

“Looks like the Jones family is coming out to give us their side of the story,” a reporter said, and I increased the volume wanting to hear what they had to say. “Good afternoon, sorry to keep you and everyone who has been at the edge of their seats following the story and waiting for us to respond.”

That was Nick, he looked so handsome up there. “I will start by saying we will not be taking questions after my father speaks to you and we ask that you respect that.” he continued. Then stepped down giving his father a chance to speak.

Senior looked aloof as he stood there. “Good afternoon, I James Jones would like to confirm that the video you have been seeing is legit.” The reporters went crazy asking questions, but he kept his mouth shut not answering either one.⚫

“If you don’t stop then I will leave this stage, and you can continue speculating.” Silence. It was like no one ever spoke. The man still has a lot of power and influence. “Thank you. As was saying, the video is real and that is me. But I didn’t go there for the reasons you think, I went there and kept going there to build the courage to tell my daughter who I am.”

The reporters blew up, no one would listen after that until he and the family went back inside leaving the reporters there. To say I was shocked it would be an understatement. My phone pinged and I checked it.

Nick sent me a text and I clicked on it. “I know you did this; you are so vile Olivia; my father and sister have nothing to do with our fight and what I did to you. but In your anger you went too far. Await my retaliation, no one messes with my family.”
