Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

MARCUS

I looked at the man, the audacity he had to come into my house after everything he had done. He even looked scared as if he were a man caught cheating by his wife. What the hell was going through that moron's mind?

I couldn't even be angry at him anymore, it was no use, Nick was obsessed with my wife, but I had to admit one thing. Even though he had done everything in his power to stay by her side. He had not crossed the line.noveldrama

Not with my wife at least, he had crossed the line when he used someone that close to my wife hurting her in the process. "How the hell did Olivia find out?" he asked pacing, none of us said a word. We just watched him making a fool of himself.

"Let's go Nick." Ethan said, stopping Nick from his pacing. He ignored Ethan and looked at me. "Marcus, I swear I didn't do anything. You guys were pushing me away even though I have been behaving. I have accepted that Olivia is yours and that I can't have her back. But I can't be away from her, that is one thing I can't do. But I didn't cross the line. I have been respectful."

In his mind he might have truly thought that what he was doing was not crossing the line, that he was being respectful. But none of what he was doing was healthy, us tolerating it instead of addressing it head on might have played a role in convincing him he was doing right when he wasn't.

"Nick, you promised, now let's go." Ethan insisted, I didn't know what they promised each other, and I didn't care to know. "Where are you two going?" Luke questioned; curiosity written all over his face. "Therapy."

I turned to look at Ethan, if they were going to therapy then that was good for them. they would get the help they needed and maybe they would stop obsessing over my wife. "It's good that you two are seeking help. Acknowledging that you have a problem is the first step to getting your life back on track."

Both Nick and Ethan looked at me. "I am not going to see the therapist, Nick is. I don't have a problem, he does." I shook my head in the negative but before I could say anything Nick protested.

"I don't have a problem either, I am only going because you are forcing me to." I shook my head, both of them had a problem and yet they couldn't see it. "You are both going and you both going to see and talk to a therapist for at least a year."

They all looked at me now. Luke raised an eyebrow as if he were asking. 'What the fuck are you up to now Marcus?'

"I am tired of your obsession with you my wife and I am tired of condoning your behaviour. You are grown men and yet you have no meaningful relationships besides being in my home and obsessing over my wife."

I sighed, it was time, the situation we were in was not healthy or normal. I was Olivia's husband and yet I kept men who were obsessed with her close to me as my friends. who did something like that?

"You, Nick, have been divorced from Olivia for a couple of years now, she

is married and yet you are still obsessed with her and even using people close to her to remain by her side. Lupita cut her off because of you and maybe not entirely but you are the main reason. My wife is hurting and wont talk to anyone because she lost yet another person, she cared about because of this messed up situation."

"Ethan, you are the same, but you are able to hide your feelings to well and Nick

is making it easy for you to do so because his gestures are so loud and dramatic

that we forget that you are the same."

I scanned their faces, but they couldn't even look at me. "I appreciate the help and you being there through the difficult time and helping us out. But I don't want you in my house. If we are going to have friendship, then I want it with healthy people who are not looking at my wife and I waiting for the time when things are not going well to swoop in and take her from me."

Ethan opened his mouth to say something, but I lifted my hand silencing him. "I don't want to hear it. if you want to keep coming to this house and us to remain friends. you will seek help, fix your lives then we can talk about hanging out. Until then..." I pointed at the gate.

The two friends shared a look. "About time." Luke said and walked away. I waited for the two thinking they would say something. "And my son, what about Samuel?” another excuse, Nick was good at that.

"He will be here when you are done with therapy. He looked like he

wanted to protest. “Samuel needsa healthy father, mentally and

physically. After three moths of therapy, you can start visiting him again, but they will be supervised visits. Not unless you want me to use what you have done to take him away from you and make sure you never see him again."

He fumed in anger closing the distance between us. "You wouldn't dare!" his

nostrils flared. I smirked; I got him exactly where I wanted him.

It was either he was going to man up and do what was right or I was going to make sure he never got to see his son. Nick was so used to being spoilt that he thought he could get away with it.

"Try me, I still have evidence and don't worry. I won't be implicated; I am the honourable Marcus Walker, and you are the man who had been seen by the media walking around and spending time with a man who has been accused of having ties with a mafia. Who do you think the court will believe when I apply for full custody?"
