Revenge After Divorce (Olivia and Nick) novel Chapter 349

Chapter 328

OLIVIA

Something was going on, and I wanted to know what. I was tired of being in the dark. Someone had to tell me something, anything. Lupita was being chased out of the house, and I didn’t know why. They were treating me like a child, and I didn’t like it.

Even the way my dad spoke to me was like he was talking to a child. I might have been his child, but I was not one, I was a grown woman, married with kids. I deserved to know why the woman who had been like a sister to me for a couple of years now was being chased out.

What had she done that was so bad that she had to be kicked out? Why were they hiding it? Lupita was a good woman, and they all knew that. I was sure whatever mistake she made could be forgiven. It couldn’t have been that bad.

Marcus walked in while I was busy pacing the room, so frustrated that I didn’t know what to do with myself.

“You will drive yourself crazy if you continue this way.”

I stopped. He might know what was happening, he was there. He must have heard.

“Before you ask, I don’t know anything. If you want answers, go to your father and ask him.”

I looked at him, trying to read his face, but he gave nothing away.

“There is no way you allowed my father to kick Lupita out without knowing why. Tell me, what did she do?”

Marcus hesitated, and that told me he knew something he didn’t want to tell me. I needed to know what.

“I don’t know. Your father didn’t tell me, and he didn’t need to. When he told me it was to protect you, I didn’t need to know more. Your safety is my priority.”

For how long were they going to keep using my safety as an excuse to keep my circle small, to make decisions for me?

“I will go and find him,” I said, just as I walked past him. He held my hand, and I stopped.

“Why are you acting like you’ll never see Lupita again? Is she not going to the old house?”

I frowned but said nothing.

“You can see her anytime you like, and she can visit too. I’m not sure what it is you want to know. Is it why she was sent to the old house, or are you just trying to insert yourself into a situation that doesn’t concern you?”

I looked at him.

“Don’t look at me like that. You like acting naïve sometimes and putting yourself into these situations where you get hurt in the end. Do you think that’s fair to us? I know you don’t ask for these things to happen to you, but damn it, Olivia. Sometimes it’s like you go looking for them.”

Now he was the one pacing, and I was just standing there, listening like a child being scolded by her father.

“Do you even like or want peace?”
