Revenge After Divorce by Black Rose

Chapter 282 Nick "Nick, calm down. There was nothing you were going to do anymore. She left with her husband and kids to fix herself, here. You promised not to interfere with her fix her marriage. You don't belong there." +25 BONUS I stopped, the words hittinglike a slap. I turned to glare at him, fury bubbling in my chest. How dare he say that to me? How could anyone expectto just stand by and let this happen? Why should I be lying here in a hospital bed and accept being told she was gone, as if that was skind of solution? "You forget, one of the kids you are talking about is mine! should have been with them. You should have puton the damn jet with them!" My voice cracked with emotion Anger, confusion, fear, all of it was crowding my chest. How was Olivia going to take care of the kids in the state I saw her in? Sure, Marcus could handle them, but who was going to take care of her? She was the one who needled the most help.

Lupita and her grandmother were still in deep slumber, knocked out by smedication or whatever Xander gave them. Who knew when they would wake up? And we all knew how things went when we trusted strangers. We had been burned before. No way in hell I was going to sit idly by and let them handle it.

"I know that, Nick. But you need to give them tto sort things out. You need taway from Olivia. Being around her is not good for your health. Your heart is deteriorating." His words made no sense to me. Who cares about my heart? Right now, Olivia was my heart. How could I be expected to be okay when she wasn't? Did they think I was being overly tic when I said she was the center of my world? She was more than just a part of me, she was everything. If she wasn't okay, how could I ever be? "Who's going to help them, then?" I asked, the words dripping with frustration and desperation. Luke turned his back onwithout answering, and that was when I lost it. The bed, my hospital bed, was no match for my fury. I flipped it upside down in a single, violent motion, the metal screeching against the floor as it crashed over.

"You send Ethan with them and lefthere? Why would you do that?!" I didn't even care that I was shouting or how irrational I sounded. My breath cin short, ragged gasps, and my chest tightened with the weight of my anger and confusion. I was drowning, and no one seemed to understand.

No one understood that Olivia held my sanity, her very presence in my life calmed me. it calmed the beast inside me. I could endure anything including her being with Marcus, as long as I could see her, see that she was alright. But now, now she was far away fromand not doing well Luke didn't even flinch at my outburst. Instead, his face twisted in exasperation.

"Nick, you are going to make yourself sick. Stop this nonsense!" His voice was loud, almost as if he were trying to force sense into me. But nothing could penetrate the turmoil inside my head, nothing could makestop.

I stood still for a moment, my breath shaky as the fury began to dissipate, leaving a dull ache in its place. Then I spoke, my voice raw and bitter.

"It's because you have never been in love that you don't understand what I feel for Olivia. Maybe as her father, you get why it's important that she gets all the care she needs, without having to worry about the kids as well. You saw her at the hospital, Luke. You saw what state she is in. She is not alright. She is not fit to care for them, not the way she needs to. Marcus and Ethan are going to have to take care of her and take care of the kids. But what about Lupita and Grandma? Who is going to look after them?!" I took a deep breath, calming myself for a moment. But inside, I was still seething, still unable to shake the fr that everything was slipping through my fingers.

I grabbed the clothes from the chair next to the bed, the familiar fabric feeling cold in my hands as I slipped them +25 BONUS Chapter 782 on.

"What are you doing? You haven't been discharged yet!" Luke snapped, the irritation in his tone unmistakable. But I didn't care.

"If you had puton the damn jet with them, you wouldn't be annoyed right now, would you?" My words were sharp, cutting through the tension in the room like a blade didn't care about his irritation. What mattered towas Olivia. And she wasn't here. She was there, on the other side of the world, in a place I couldn't reach. "I'm going to the hotel to book a flight back home," I said, not even bothering to look at Luke as I grabbed my bag. "I will be damned if I stay here while my family is across the world, facing God knows what, without me.' "Nick, you are not thinking clearly. You need to rest, you need to..." "No," I interrupted, the finality in my voice making it clear wasn't open to discussion. "You should have sentwith them. Now, I am going to fix it."

And with that, I turned and walked out of the room, knowing full welh P that nothing anyone said would stop me. I wasn't going to let Olivia down.

Not when she neededthe most.

"He has people back home. We need him to tell us who they are and where they are located it will be pointless going to Olivia when there's still a threat on her life!"

The words hitlike a sledgehammer. I stopped dead in my tracks, my breath catching in myn throat.

My hands baled into fists, and anger surged through me, hot and consuming. Every muscle in my body tensed, the rage threatening to boil over. How could I think about anything other than protecting her? "Taketo him," I growled, the words slipping out through clenched teeth. "I'm going to make Xander talk. One way or another." There was no other option. I couldn't sit by and wait any longer. If it meant breaking him to keep Olivia safe, then so be it.
