Revenge After Divorce by Black Rose

Chapter 226 Chapter 226 NICK I guess it was tto face the fact that I had screwed up. I wasn't even with my son yet, and I'd already messed things up badly. I had told Marcus to open a branch in Asia, but I swear I didn't know that's where we were heading. I just wanted to help him take his mind off things, so he wouldn't end up overthinking himself into heart problems like I did when I lost Olivia.

But now, sitting on the jet, Luke finally toldwhere we were going. There was no way in hell I was going to confess to what I'd done. If Marcus somehow found us, it would be because fate or whatever was out there was looking out for him.

I decided to bury my head in the sand and pretend I had no idea what was going on. "Nick, what have you done?" Luke asked, his voice laced with suspicion. I lifted my head, putting on a neutral expression. I gave him a confused look. “What do you mean?" I even raised an eyebrow for effect.

There was no way I was going to admit it now. He wasn't going to hear the truth from me. I'd already stopped him from giving Marcus a hard time, and I knew he wasn't about to let this slide.

"Nick, I can always send you back where I found you and make sure you never get close to us again, no matter what you do or what resources you have." I put on a look of surprise; I knew he wasn't bluffing. He could make that happen, but how could I have known where we were going? I had no way of knowing.

"I don't know what you're talking about. You're just upset because I convinced you not to give Marcus a hard time." Before he could respond, I stood up. "I'm going to check on the baby." He frowned, then turned to look out the him and made my way to the room. The doctor was there, checking on window. I couldn't help but chuckle as I lef the baby when I walked in.

"Is she alright?" I asked.

The doctor nodded.

"She's doing just fine, a healthy baby, just a little premature," the doctor said. I felt relieved. Marcus must have been worried about her traveling at such a young age.

"That's good to hear," I replied. "I'll keep checking in on her, but if anything changes, please letknow immediately." The doctor raised an eyebrow, probably questioning why I was so concerned when I wasn't a doctor myself. But I didn't care. I had promised her father I would take care of her, especially since her so-called "big bad grandpa" couldn't even get close to her.

I grabbed a drink and took a seat away from Luke. My mind kept drifting to Marcus, what was he doing right now? Knowing him, he was probably still at the airport, overthinking or even crying like a fool.

It was hard to believe I had ever been that way. What was it about Olivia that made us lose our minds? She was beautiful and kind, but there was nothing extraordinary about her, so why were we all so obsessed with her? "She inust have bewitched us somehow," I muttered to myself.

"Is that so? And who, exactly, are you talking about?" I jumped. When had Luke gotten there? He was now standing overas I sat, "It's nothing," I quickly said. "The baby's fine, by the way." Chapter 226 +25 BONUS He nodded, taking a seat opposite ine.

Why couldn't Luke understand? I was trying to escape from him, and that's why I was sitting there. The flight was going to be long, and there weren't many places to hide from Luke, but I wasn't about to give in.

"Nick, whatever it is you're hiding, it better not hurt my daughter. Olivia's been through enough already, and she doesn't need any more heartache from you or Marcus. Get your priorities straight." His words hithard, making guilt claw at my chest. “Look, I didn't do anything bad, but you have to understand, I didn't know anything when I told Marcus about it. I just wanted him to focus on something other than Olivia while we were away." Luke raised an eyebrow, and I knew I was about to get in deep trouble with him. His voice grew stern, and his face was completely unreadable. That look sent a shiver down my spine, he looked exactly like he did when he was afterbefore.

"What did you do?” he asked, his voice icy and firm.

"I told Marcus to open a new branch of his company in Asia" I admitted. Luke straightened and sighed. "You can be really stupid sometimes, you know that?" I stayed quiet, knowing it was better forto say nothing.

"You do realize Marcus runs a multibillion-dollar company, right? You really think he won't find us in the Maldives if he wants to?" Well, he should've toldwhere we were headed. If I had known, I would've suggested Africa. He wouldn't have found us there.

But I stayed silent, not daring to say anything. "Maybe it'll be good if they meet, sort things out, and maybe go back hor get a divorce. Honestly, I don't care," he added, contradicting himself. He turned to face me. "Don't actively direct him to where we are. If he finds us on his own, fine. But if you tell him, then we're going to have problems, you and me.” I nodded like a child being scolded by his father.

He sighed and sat down. I still didn't want to sit with him, but who was I to argue? It was his jet, and I had messed up.

"How is she doing?" he asked, shifting to the serious stuff,

"She's doing well,” I replied. “There's a young guy there who claims to be her friend, but I can tell he likes her. Luke 1. I can tell her." smiled. Ne better wipe that grin off his face because Ethan and I weren't about to let him have her. Olivia belonged to us, not sstranger. "Wipe that look off your face. Xander's a good guy, and he has a son who's Samuel's age."

Why did that matter? Olivia didn't need more kids around her; she was fine on her own. She just needed to own.

go back hand leave that guy behind. Don't worry, Marcus. Ethan and I will fight for you. That guy won't get Olivia. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
