Revenge After Divorce by Black Rose

Chapter 315 MARCUS The moment between Olivia and Luke touched me. I thought I was caring for my wife well enough. I thought I knew what she needed, but seeing her with Luke like that maderealize that I had missed sthings. Like the relationship she should have had with her father.

Luke was the only family she had left besides the one she chose for herself: Lupita and her grandmother. As her husband, I should have helped her nurture that relationship, but I missed the signs. Yes, Luke was in our lives, but not in the way he was supposed to be. Not as Olivia's father.

We had been treating him like a close friend instead, which was wrong of us, of me.

"Are you alright, man?" Nick snappedout of my trance, breaking my train of thought. I glanced at him. He seemed fine, but when I looked closely, he looked as if something was bothering him.

I guess we were all still bothered by what had happened. I envied the people living simple lives sometimes; they seemed happier than we were, more content, and enjoying life more than we did. "Con, let's grab a drink." I could tell we both needed it.

He stood and followedto the bar area. I fixed us a drink and handed him a glass. “I wanted to ask, did something happen that I need to know about?" I was sure he was asking because of the missed calls he got from me.

"I wanted to warn you, Olivia knows about Sandra." Nick paled. I didn't know what was going on with him, if he would ever get over my wife. I didn't want to keep a snake close toonly for it to bitewhen I least expected it.

Nick couldn't hide his feelings for my wife as much as he thought he did. I could see right through him. "Does she know I did it?" I shook my head in the negative. He looked worried, as if he had done something wrong to Olivia, or as if he were a man afraid of his wife finding out he was cheating.

"Then what does she know? Tellexactly." I was not in the mood to do that.

"She knows one of us killed Sandra, but she doesn't know which one." Nick looked as if he just recalled something.

"So, that is why she spoke tolike that. As if she was accusingof something. And she was very cold and distant as well." Why did it matter to him how my wife reacted toward him? She was no longer his to care for.

"Nick, don't look so worried. I will take care of my wife." I had to emphasize the fact that she was my wife, not his.

"I know, man, but she is the mother of my kid, and I don't want to get on her bad side. It could affect my relationship with Samuel." He paused, looking frustrated.

"Already, she hid Samuel fromonce. Well, not once, but twice. She gave birth to him and never toldshe was pregnant to begin with, or that she had a baby. When she finally admitted to it, she claimed he was not mine. I can't risk something like that happening again because of that." As a father myself, I understood where he was coming from But that didn't give him the right to lust over my wife and even show it.

"What are you two doing here alone when everyone is out there? Are you discussing who to kill next?" Olivia's voice cut through the tension building between Nick and me.

I managed to smile, chuckling. I rounded the counter and walked to her. I planted a kiss on her for lead. "No, 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 315 we're discussing areas where I can buy our new home. We can't stay here, not after what happened." She looked between Nick and me. Nick stood and opened his arms, just like Luke did earlier. I furrowed my eyebrow, wondering what the hell he was up to.

"You didn't givea hug when I got here. I missed you as well." Olivia looked up atwith pleading eyes. I knew she was not comfortable with Nick yet. After she heard, she might have doubts about him. I pulled her to me. "Nope, she is my wife. I'm tired of you, Luke, and Ethan claiming her all the time. This time, I am putting my foot down. I refuse." Nick chuckled, lowering his arms. I could see the disappointment in his eyes, even though he was chuckling as if he understood. His eyes fixed on my wife, who let out a breath when I refused for her to hug Nick. I was right, she was uncomfortable.

"Con, let's go out there before they miss us. Nick, sendthe information about the areas." I didn't wait for him to respond and took my wife away from there. Nick should be one of the people who limit their visits to my home.

But how was I going to do that? He was Samuel's father after all. He would want to visit his son. What about my wife then? It was a dilemma.

Nick soon joined us; he was sitting opposite us with Luke. "Marcus, Olivia, I wanted to give you this." Luke handed us a big brown envelope.

I took it and opened it. Inside was a deed to a house. Actually, it wasn't a house. It was a mansion, bigger than the one we were currently sitting in. That thing looked like spresident's residence. I handed the papers to Olivia.

I was going to buy my wife a new home. I didn't lack money Was he being forward? I kept my mouth shut and waited for my wife to be the one to make the decision. In the end, I was going to go with whatever made her happy, She glanced atafter reading the papers. "Wow, I don't know what to say." Nick grabbed the papers out of Olivia's hands. "This is too much, Luke. You can't do something like this as if Marcus can't afford to buy a house for his family. In fact, we were discussing that in the bar just now. You didn't have to do this."

Luke laughed. "Nick, you are the one who can't do something like this For Not because Olivia is nothing to you, Not unless you will be buying property for Samuel. But I can do this and more for my daughter. Just because she is married doesn't mean I can't do anything for her. In fact, I haven't done anything for Olivia. This is only the start."

Nick looked as if he had been slapped in the face. Ethan laughed, earning himself a glare from his best friend. "He is right though; youdon't have a say in this. Her father buying gifts like these is not wrong. He also knows Marcus can afford it. But I don't think this is about Marcus, but a father wanting to make up for being absent in his daughter's life all these years.' Ethan made a good point. I never thought of it like that.

"Well, thank you. It's huge for our little family, but it comes from the goodness of your heart, so we will accept it." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
