Revenge After Divorce by Black Rose

OLIVIA

The next day, I called Ethan to come over to my house, but he refused. He said if I wanted to meet with him then I would go to his house. Which I found fair. I told Marcus and he wanted to go with me. He and I were the reason Ethan was acting that way and going to meet with him together and apologize was a good idea.

"Do not expect me to be nice, I will apologize but I will also tell him what I don't like about his behaviour and him threatening us like that." I also didn't expect him to bow his head to another man. I expected him to apologise for his wrongdoing.

Ethan was not an unreasonable man, but I believed he was going to be difficult this time as we were the cause of his relationship failing. We were current on the road driving to his house, Nick and my dad were looking after the kids.

"Stop the car." Marcus looked at me confused. "I see Lupita!" Marcus stopped the car; I got out and called her name. "Lupita." She was about to get into her car. She stopped and turned my way.

She looked so beautiful wearing a business suit. I waved at her smiling; I took a step towards her, but she opened her car and got in driving off. I stood there disappointed. I didn't know she wanted nothing to do with me not even to greet me when she saw me on the road.

“Come on babe, lets go.” Marcus said. I got into the car feeling hurt, my dad was right, my behaviour was costing me my friends and the closest people to me. I got into the car and my husband drove off.

"Am I that bad?" seriously, if Lupita whom I had known for years was not even willing to acknowledge me on the road, then that mean I was worse than I thought. Which made me wonder why the men close to me were obsessed with
