Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

ETHAN

Olivia opened the door when I got to her house, it was early morning, and I was sure they were not expecting me after cutting the call like that. "Good morning, I wasn't expecting you so early, in fact, I wasn't expecting you at all.”

She was smiling, that beautiful smile of hers that used to get me weak to my knees. One that used to make my heart skip a beat. It was still beautiful though; I would give her that. But it didn't have the same effect it used to have on me.

The doctor was right, I was just in fluctuated like a teenager longing for the latest trend and wanting to look cool. "Good morning, I am here for Samuel." She yawned sleep still visible in her eyes. She must have woken up to feed Lilly and was going to go back to bed.

"His still sleeping, it's too early." I nodded as she moved aside letting me in. "Am sorry Ethan but I am still very sleepy. Make yourself at home and I am going back to bed." I watched her leave without saying a word.

I realized I was still very angry with her; she had to make up her mind when things had already gone to shit with Emily. "I will make breakfast so long." I called after her, she just waved me off as she went up the stairs.

She said to make myself at home and I intended to do just that. besides, Samuel was going to wake up hungry as well. I wanted him to have something to eat before we leave. I took off my jacket and placed it on the couch then folded my sleeves and went to work on breakfast.

"I can do groceries for you if you don't have food at home." I didn't have to lift my head to know who that was. He came and poured himself a glass of water. I didn't even know why he was at the main house when he had everything in the west wing of the house.noveldrama

"I couldn't sleep so I came here, what is your excuse?" I glanced at him. he was still in his sleepwear. "Same." I went back to what I was doing. "Is something bothering you?" I chuckled; it was not like there was something he could do even if I told him.

"There is always something wrong Luke, you know all the things that could be bothering me, so take your pick and guess which one gave me nightmares and got me here this early."

"You don't have to be sarcastic about it." he poured himself a cup of coffee. I moved around him as I prepared breakfast. "You cook like a chef, I must admit, I missed your cooking. The chef here is good but there are some things he can't make better than you do."

I wondered why he was trying to flutter me. maybe he could tell how pissed off I was or maybe he was just being a moron. I didn't bother to respond and that gave him the opportunity to continue.

"I heard about your lady, I did a background check on her and besides her being a spitfire, she is one of the good ones." My hand tightened on the knife. I looked up at him and forced a smile.

"Thanks, though there was no need for you to do that. Nick and I did a background check on her and she came up clean. We did a thorough one. But we didn't need to since all the shit we have been through has been caused by your daughter." Cóntent

The look on his face told me that he was catching on. He could now tell how mad was. "I don't know the details of what happened but try to understand. Yes, Olivia caused all the shit we have been through as you said. But she is now being cautious and trying to be careful. Try to understand."

I was tired of always being the one to understand all the time. I wanted to be respected and considered a human being with feelings as well. I respected all of them enough and yet they didn't respect me.

It was all well and good, but it was time they all learned to respect me and value me. "I don't want to talk about it." I finished everything then took off the apron. "Serve yourself, I am going to wake Samuel and give him a bath."

I left before he could respond, time was not on our side, and we needed to leave as soon as possible. By the time I got to his room, my little man was coming out of the bathroom. "Hey little man." His eyes lit up when he saw me.

"Daddy, you came." He came and threw himself at me. "Of course, I came. I will always come for you. don't ever doubt that." he gave me a wide smile. now that smile still warmed my heart in ways I never thought it could be warmed.

"Now, how about we get you cleaned up and fed. You and I are going away. Just the two of us." His smile widened. "Really, where are we going?" I pretended to be thinking about it, hie little eyes wide in anticipation.

"We are going far away." He clapped his hands in excitement. I gave him a bath and got him changed before going down for breakfast.

Marcus was already there stuffing his face with food. I didn't bother with him but put Samuel down and he went to greet him as I went around the kitchen counter to get him food.

He ate and when we were done. I wore my jacket. “Are you leaving already?" Luke asked. “Yes, we have a lot to do." Marcus frowned, 'I dare you to object Marcus, please object so I can give you a piece of my mind.'

"Are you going with him? I thought you would be staying here."

"No, I am taking him away." He nodded; I took Samuel's hand ready to leave when Marcus spoke again "We are going camping over the weekend, you should come." I didn't bother to respond, Samuel and I were going to have our own camping trip.

We left the house and headed straight for the airport.
