Revenge After Divorce (Olivia and Nick) novel Chapter 353

OLIVIA

I straightened on my seat looking at her for a moment without saying anything. I knew she was hurting, and I wanted to find the right words to say to her. “I know I have put you through a lot, being around me has put your life in danger many times and I am sorry I neglected you in all those times.”

I was the worst, I didn’t blame her for not wanting anything to do with me, I wouldn’t either if I were in her shoes. Many things had happened since she joined our family, her life had been in danger a couple of time and each time. I only cared about making sure that I was alright.

I didn’t care to ask about her, how she felt and what she needed to feel better. “I have been a horrible friend and the worst sister. In all that has happened, I only cared about myself and neglected you. I am sorry for that, and I am working on it. I am trying to make it up to you for everything I did. Starting with this therapy.”

All the while I spoke, she was looking at me as if she were seeing me for the first time. “You know, at first I didn’t blame you for what happened to my grandmother but as time went by, I started blaming you.”

Her words cut through me like a sharp knife, but I said nothing. I gave her a chance to speak her mind and finally say what was bothering her. “Living with you has been an adventure, I didn’t know my life was boring until I met you and you showed us a different side of life. a beautiful yet dangerous side.”

She looked up at me and offered a small smile. but it didn’t reach her eyes, it was a sad smile. “It was thrilling at first, seeing and experiencing all those things, I thought your life was easy, I mean, who wouldn’t? you are a wealthy woman married to an outstanding man. Friends with the likes of Ethan and had Nick Jones as your ex-husband. People I had seen only on TV and magazines.”

She smiled, a genuine one this time looking through me as if she were thinking about something good. Something she liked and enjoyed. That made me happy knowing that she had some good moments while with me.

“I never thought I would ever meet those people or even meet a real-life mafia boss. But with you, I got to meet them, I got to travel the world even though it wasn’t for fun, but I got to see places and experience new things. Stayed in beautiful hotels and ate good food, it was amazing.”

She looked at me again her smiled vanishing. “But that life, came at a high price. I had to pay for it with my grandmother. I thought I could get over it and continue to live a good life by your side and taking care of these beautiful children.”
