Revenge After Divorce by Black Rose

Chapter 314 OLIVIA I didn't know if I could trust Nick, not after what I heard. The way they toldabout Sandra being dead and showed no emotion and yet he killed her. It toldhe could not be trusted. If he could go on with his life as if nothing happened after killing Sandra it meant he could lie about Xander as well.

What Xander did hurt me, and it also hurt my son. I wanted him out of our lives the sway I wanted Sandra out of our lives. But after thinking about it. after saying that to him, the man dragged my husband with him, if he was dragged, and they went and killed Sandra.

Neither of them seemed worried or abnormal as if they had taken a life before Sandra. I told Nick what I wanted when I was angry about what Xander did and after a while thought about what happened with Sandra and called him.

I didn't want him killing people because I told him I wanted them out of my life. He was not Luke, he was not a murderer, well, was not a murderer. That was before Sandra. But even the way he answered when I called, he seemed fine as if he were telling the truth. The question was, could I put my trust in him and take his word for it? "Mom, want ice-cream." Samuel snappedout of my trance. We were coming from seeing his therapist, for the first toutside of our home. I thought taking him out of the house as the therapist suggested would be good for him.

He seemed livelier and I liked that. To me, it meant my son was getting better. But we couldn't be sure since it was still early days. "Okay, baby, we can get ice-cream." He grinned. God! I missed seeing him smile like that.

I was starting to forget what his smile was like. The past week my son has been the shadow of himself. A frightened little kitten that needed protecting. It broke my heart to see him that way. I had been sleeping in his room, so I could be there for him when he woke up from a nightmare.

But sometimes, he wouldn't wake up. He would shake and dry in his sleep until he wet the bed. I felt a hand on mine. I snapped out of it and looked. It was my husband's hand. When I turned to him, he wiped a tear that had fallen from my eye.

He gave my hand a little squeeze. "It's going to be alright." he whispered. My heart fluttered; butterflies swum in my stomach. That was the yearning I felt when I was back at the island. The yearning to be close to him.

The presence I felt through him holding my hand like that, hearing his voice and seeing his reassuring smile. I needed all that. I needed my love withto feel whole again. I didn't know how much I needed it until I heard his voice when I was so out of it that I didn't know if I was hallucinating and hearing things or just plain crazy.

Our love was that strong. He stopped at the ice-cream shop, never letting go of my hand as he drove. "Wantto go and get it?" I looked back at Samuel, and he was already on his feet, excitement covering his face.

"Let's go together." I couldn't wait until Lilly was that age, then we could go out together and have ice-cream. By the twe got home, the street was filled with cars parked. I had forgotten it was the day when my father and Nick cback. We had left Lilly with Ethan. We could hear the noise before opening the door.

Marcus gavean apologetic look. I was annoyed; it was as if those people didn't have their own homes to go to. They had just arrived, why couldn't they go to their homes and rest? They could have visited another day.

"I will ask them to leave." said Marcus opening the door. As soon as Samuel saw Nick, he let go of my hand and ran to him. To say I was shocked would be an understatement. I didn't know they had gotten that close.

I felt pang in my heart, I regretted separating them but was also grateful to Luke for telling him about Nick and showing him pictures. It helped with their relationship. "Let them stay." I whispered to Marcus, an nodded.

I handed the bag I was carrying to Marcus then went and threw myself at him. His hold tightened around me. He kept kissing the top of my head and whispering, "You are alright. Thank God you are alright." I melted into his arms and tears fell from my eyes. Luke had never been the affectionate type, or I never allowed him to be. He was the father who leftand my mother, the one who cinto my life late.

I thought I was protecting myself by keeping him at arm's length. I didn't know I was depriving myself of a swas ofiant father's love. I thought I didn't need it, yet when I was in trouble, he was the first person I called. Even at that moment, when he opened his arms for me, I did not want to go and hug him. I didn't know I needed it until his arms were wrapped aroundholdingtight as if I would disappear again if he let go.

I never once thought of how my disappearance affected him. I only thought of myself and my kids. "I am okay, the kids are okay as well." I assured him, it seemed like he needed to hear that. "I am glad."

"Hey Luke, please let go of my wife." Marcus shouted from across the room. "I also want want a hug but it seems Luke wants to keep his daughter to himself." I chuckled as everyone laughed. My dad didn't respond immediately. I heard him sniff and his arms loosened around me. He heldby my shoulders removingfrom his chest gently. He looked atand his eyes were bloodshot red. I wiped his tears. I always saw him as strong.

He was the Don after all. I had forgotten the man behind the title. "I am alright." I reassured him again. He nodded You`alf can wait, this my daughter after all." He yelled over his shoulder making every laugh. "Be well, alright? And I am right here whenever you need me."
