Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

NICK

I have been going out of my mind since Ethan told me about Olivia being the owner of that business. I still couldn’t understand how she got investors to work with her after the scandal of two years ago. She must have a big backer because there was no way in hell, she managed to do that all on her own and within a year..

“Now I see why the business has been suffering, you sit behind that desk and daydream all day instead of working.” I snapped out of it and my father was standing by the door. He didn’t look pleased at all. “Father, what are you doing here?” he walked in then came and sat in front of me.

“I am here to help you save the business since you can’t seem to do it on your own.” I sighed, he didn’t understand, if it were anyone else, then I would have taken them out already, but this was my wife, the mother of my son, I couldn’t hurt her like that a second time.

“I understand you have been trying to find out who owns that MW&O Corporation, and I am here to offer a solution.” I sat up straight moving uncomfortably on my chair. “What solution is that do you know who owns it?” he shook his head in the negative.

“No, but we are about to find out.” Before I could ask what he was talking about, Ethan walked in and greeted. He took a seat on the couch, and I wondered why father brought him there or did he come on his own to see me?

“Now that you are here Ethan, I will get to the point. I know that you and my son have not being seeing eye to eye and I am sorry about that. But this is business, and he needs your help.” Ethan glanced at me. “I know Nick might be proud to ask for your help, but he needs it. In order to take down that MW &O Corporation we must know who owns it so we can find their weaknesses.”

1 tensed, wondering what he was going to do when he found out it was Olivia. Father was ruthless when it came to business, he was worse than I was. “I am sorry Mr Jones. But I can’t do that, these people are only trying to make a living and taking them down is not an option. Why don’t you up your game and compete with them fairly?”

Father’s jaw tensed and I knew it was not going to be good. “Let me tell you a story Ethan, maybe after hearing it, you will change your mind and see things my way.” Ethan and I shared a look. “Once upon a time, there was a man, a businessman with a wife and child. He was a good man, but he had a problem with alcohol.”

He paused and looked at Ethan. “One day late at night, the man called me. he was hysterical and scared. I almost didn’t answer that call because that man and I were not friendly, but our sons were best of friends.” We knew then that he was talking about Ethan’s father. I wondered where the story was going but I said nothing as I was curious to know.

“Since my son was not home that night as well and had left with his. I took the call thinking it was about him. The man told me to come and that he needed my help. He said I must tell no one and gave me his location. I went.”

By this time Ethan’s jaw was clenched, I could tell he was angry. “When I got there, the man was drunk and had gotten into an accident that killed some woman. Thinking of his son and his business, I helped him cover that accident up. Made it look like he was never there and got rid of any evidence that he was.”

I was shocked, father helped Ethan’s father cover up a crime. “The woman died in hospital a day later and that man was never the same after that. He drank more and even got into another accident that took his and his wife’s life.”

He looked at Ethan. “You see son, you have a business, an inheritance because of me. Now, I am collecting a debt. I need you to tell me who owns that damn business so I can take them down and save mine. You owe me that much for what I did for your family.” I didn’t know what to say. That woman who died in that accident was Mrs Ryan.

remember Brandon left New Village after that and went abroad. He only came back a few years ago when his father retired and took over the family business. “I wish you hadn’t told me that Mr. Jones. I didn’t need to know what you did for my father. But since you already told me, thank you.”

He stood; I could see how broken up he was about what lather told him. Ethan, I didn’t know.” He glanced at me nodded. “I know Nick. I know.” He walked to the door, but father stopped him.

“You are not leaving here until you tell me what I need to know.”

“Father, no!” the man didn’t even look at me. he kept his eyes on Ethan. “I am only going to help you just this once and then that is it. You will not hold what you did for my father over my head after this. I need your word that your will never bring this up again and that after I help you. we will be even.”

I hated what father was doing, Ethan had already told me who owned the business without being threatened to do so. I wished he would have spoken to me first before doing all this. It was not necessary.

“What if I have one more thing to ask you.” Ethan looked at him with so much anger. “You can only ask me for one thing Mr Jones, you choose which one.” I liked how he was handling him. father could be a bully sometimes.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Fine, tell me who owns that business, and I don’t mean the little mice. running around doing his bidding.” Ethan glanced at me before looking back. at father. I was so tense and worried about what he was going to do that I didn’t know I held my breath until Ethan spoke.

“The owner of the business is Marcus Walker and his partner. I have not been able to find out who the partner is but they say she is a financial guru.”
