Revenge After Divorce by Black Rose

Chapter 267

MARCUS

The drive from the airport to the hotel wasn’t long, but for me, it felt like an eternity. Every passing moment added to my growing anxiety. I was desperate to find my family, but there was a nagging fear in the back of my mind, what if Nick had lied to me again? What if I was chasing shadows?

But I held onto the thought that everything had been carefully planned. I had done everything right. Nick wouldn’t lie to me, at least not this time. I could hear the fear in his voice when he spoke to me, and I knew it was real. Fear could break a man, and I believed Nick had broken. He had confessed, and I had to trust that. If I didn’t, I would lose my mind.

When we finally arrived at the hotel, the parking lot was almost full, but we managed to find the last available spot in front of the entrance. I stepped out of the car, the weight of the situation pressing on my chest. But I wasn’t alone, I wasn’t just walking into a hotel room without backup. I had taken a page out of Luke’s book and travelled with a small army of men for protection. I had left others behind to protect the other women in my life. Olivia would never forgive me if anything happened to them. When I found out she’d been taken, I knew that the person responsible meant business.

That’s when I activated the Walker security protocols. Hence, the small army of men that followed me now. As we walked toward the entrance, I spotted Nick standing by the door, waiting. A wave of relief washed over me as I saw him. I had been holding my breath without realizing it.

He hadn’t lied, my family was here. They had been right under my nose all along, so close, and I had been searching for them without even knowing. They were just a stone’s throw away.

“Nick,” I greeted him curtly, my voice low. I didn’t wait for a response; I simply moved past him and headed inside.

He followed, quickly catching up. “Marcus, I’m sorry, brother, I…” His words were lost on me. I was done with apologies. My only focus now was finding my wife.

“Where is my family?” I demanded, my voice firm, as I stepped into the elevator.
