Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

OLIVIA

I have not been at ease since the visit we got from father. His threat was real, and it got me scared that he was going to do something awful either to Marcas or the business. When I told him about my concerns, Marcas told me not to worry about it and that he was going to take care of it. So, I left everything in his capable hands.

Right now, I was with Ethan, and we were picking up Samuel from Tyger Valley. I was worried sick about his reaction when he saw me. I wasn’t sure if he was going to remember me or not. I only saw him once after I gave birth to him and now, he was two years old and talking.

“Don’t worry, he will remember you. No child could ever forget his mother.” Ethan tried to assure me, but it wasn’t working. “What does he like? I don’t want to get there empty handed.” We were at the airport gift shop. “You are enough gift for him, but if you want to get him something then get him a toy. car, the transformers. He is obsessed with those.”

I nodded; I was not a good mother. I didn’t even know what my own son liked. All I cared about was starting a business and growing it. And keeping him away from his father, but what was the point when I kept him away from me too? I fought back tears as I browsed the cars and decided to get him the whole pack of them.

We paid and went out. The drive there was a silent one. I was worried sick about how my son was going to receive me. “Do you think it is a good idea taking him with me now?” Ethan glanced at me. “It’s always a good idea for a child to be with his mother, Olivia and your son is going to love you.”

Thoped that was the case, Samuel knew him more than he knew me, he loved his uncle Ethan, but he knew nothing about his mother. It was my fault as well as his father’s but mainly mine. We parked in front of a modest house with a big rose garden in front.

“We are here, are you ready?” I wasn’t, but what choice did I have? I was already there and turning back now was not an option. I just had to brace myself and take the rejection. It would be my fault any way. I didn’t say a word, I just got out and Ethan did the same.

When we got close to the door, it opened and the cutest boy I had ever seen came out running. I thought he was going to Ethan, but he ran past him and threw himself at my legs hugging them. “Mommy! You came for Samuel, you are here.”All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I looked at Ethan confused, and he chuckled shaking his head. “You didn’t think I was going to hide his mother from him, did you?” I mouthed a thank you then picked my son up and span him around. He giggled making me smile. “Oh, I missed you so much.”

I said kissing him all over his face making him giggle even more. “Mama stop!” he said laughing, oh how good it felt hearing him call me mama. looked at Ethan and he had the biggest smile on his face. We walked inside and I showed him the cars.

He jumped off me and played with them on the carpet. “Thank you for telling him about me. where did you say I was.” I was afraid, really afraid that he was going to reject me. “I told him you were sick, that you were going to get better and come for him. I showed him pictures of you all the time and told him you are his mama.”

I teared up. I couldn’t believe it. “And his father?” he looked away and I sighed. “He knows me as his father, I did show him pictures of Nick too, but he calls him uncle.” I laughed; I knew he did that on purpose, but I didn’t mind. My son knew who I was and that was enough for me.

When the time was right, I was going to tell him about his father. “Look mama, this is bumbo bee!” he said showing me the yellow car. “It’s bumble bee baby, do you like him?” he nodded then went back to playing as if I was not even there.

I was glad he accepted me though, “Thank you for everything Ethan, you did. a great job with him.” he shook his head. A lady about my age came out bringing us something to drink. “This is the person you should be thanking. Lupita, this is Olivia, Samuel’s mother.”

She smiled politely. “Good day mam.” I got up and gave her a hug. “Thank you for taking care of my son Lupita and it’s not mam, it’s Olivia.” She smiled. “Would you mind coming back with us and continue looking after him?” I wanted him to continue being looked after by someone he already knew.

I didn’t want everything to be strange for him. “I would like that very much ma…Olivia but I have to look after my grandmother as well and…”

“Your grandmother can come with us; I will pay for whatever she needs.” She looked shocked when I said that then looked at Ethan who nodded. Then I would love to go with you.”

“We leave tomorrow then; you can leave and go prepare whatever you need to. Take the car and I will see you and your grandmother tomorrow.” She thanked me then left. “Why do you still look so worried? Everything is going well.”

It was going well but how well was it going to go when we get back to New Village? It wont take long for the Jones family to know about Samuel and they would want to see him. what then? I wanted my son to know his family, but these were not the best of times for us all.

I was in the middle of a business war with his grandfather and father. How was that going to affect him? “You are worried about them, aren’t you?” I nodded. “I am always available to help and put Nick in his place if you need me. but I suggest you make things easy for yourself and tell them about him. maybe that way, they won’t be so dramatic about the business thing.

I guess we were going to see about that.
