Revenge After Divorce by Black Rose

Chapter 279 MARCUS I trembled with fury as I watched my wife in such a state. The sight of her, broken and trembling, filledwith at rage that burned so intensely, I could barely contain it. The urge to scream, to shout, to lash out at everything and everyone was overwhelming. I wanted to destroy everything, everything that had ever allowed this to happen to her. The world, my world, felt like it was collapsing around me.

My heart shattered, a thousand pieces falling away as I realized the depth of what had been done to her. That man, that monster, had done something unforgivable, something that should never happen to any person, let alone someone as good, as pure, as Olivia.

What Xander had done to her was unimaginable. He hadn't just broken her physically, emotionally, or mentally. He had shattered her very soul, her essence, the very core of who she was. He had torn that away from her, and without it, I didn't know what was going to be left. I didn't know if she would ever be whole again.

I kept trying to reassure her, whispering in her ear that she was safe, that I was here, and nothing was going to hurt her again. I held her trembling body close, feeling her fight against the terror that gripped her, but no words seemed to help. It was as if her mind had shattered into pieces, and I couldn't put them back together. I could see the fear in her eyes, something deeper than mere fright, something that made her recoil from everything, even me.

We had no idea why she had freaked out like that, why she was having such a severe reaction. It made no sense. But whatever had caused it, whatever had triggered it, wasn't something I was prepared to handle. The screams she had let out were unlike anything I had ever heard. They were raw, filled with pain and terror, and they shattered my heart with each one. I couldn't do anything but watch in helpless despair.

And then, the doctor spoke. His words were cold and detached, cutting through the chaos like a blade. "I think she will need to be committed to a mental institution. We are not dealing with anything physical here." I froze. His suggestion felt like a slap to my face, and every inch of my body went rigid with disbelief and fury. My vision blurred with anger as I turned to face him, my gaze sharp and filled with the kind of rage I couldn't suppress.

0 I straightened up, my fists clenching at my sides, the words leaving my mouth before I even had tto think. What did you just say?" My voice was a low growl, thick with venom. "You want to have my wife committed? Are you out of your mind? Can't you see that she's terrified? She's traumatized, and you think the answer is to lock her away somewhere? To send her off to a mental institution?" The anger surged, a tidal wave crashing over me, but I couldn't stop. "You want to send her away from her family, from me? After everything she's been through, you want to take her from the people who love her, who she needs right now? Again, what the hell is wrong with you? I could feel my pulse racing, blood rushing to my head. The thought of her being locked away, isolated in a place like that, tore through me. I wasn't just angry at the doctor I was angry at everything, at Xander, at the world that had allowed this to happen to her. But this, this suggestion, this cold, clinical way of treating her, was more than I could bear.

The doctor tried to remain calm, but his tone only made it worse. "Calm down, Mr. Walker. Whether you like it or not, your wife has been through something extremely traumatizing, and this time, it won't just take her family to bring her back." I could feel my anger turning into something darker, something that was edging into the realm of uncontrollabie Every word he spoke only fuelled the fire inside me. I didn't care what he thought, what he believed was best. He had no idea what Olivia needed. No one did. The only person who truly understood her pain was the woman 1/2 Chapter 279 herself, and she needed me. Slie needed all of us.

I started pacing, my mind whirling with the thought of wh was happening to her, to us. But as I walked, the weight of his words didn't lift. They stayed with me, pressing on my chest like a heavy burden I couldn't shake. Would it be enough? Would I be enough to pull her back from the edge? Would we be able to fix her, fix us, before It was too late? His words were like a cold slap. Did he honestly belleve he find the answer? Did he truly think that locking her away was the solution? I couldn't stand it.

1 paced back and forth, the weight of the moment pressing down on me, when suddenly I heard gasps that stoppedin my tracks. My heart 8in skipped a beat, and I spin around, my mind immediately going to Olivia. But to my shock, it wasn't her, it was Nick. He was lying on the floor by the door, unconscious, his body sprawled in an unnatural way. The room froze in a tense silence. A full minute passed with everyone just staring at him, and I couldn't move, couldn't process what was happening.

"What the hell are you standing there for? Help him!" Luke's voice thundered, breaking the silence and snappingback to reality.

When had they arrived? I hadn't even noticed. The doctors rushed in, shoving Ethan aside without a second thought. They were swift, working as a team to lift Nick and move him to the bed beside Olivia's.

Their movements were precise, but I couldn't keep up. They worked so quickly checking his vitals, placing monitors on him, and calling out orders. "Nthink he's having a heart attack!” one of the doctors shouted, and before I could even process the words, nurses scrambled, pulling out equipment and handing them over. The flurry of action around him was so fast, it leftdizzy.

I stood there, still in shock, feeling the weight of everything pressing down on me. And in the back of my mind, a thought flickered, Damn Nick and his heart. Always needing the spotlight, always dragging attention to himself. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
