Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

LUKE

The Don used to experiment on some of our men, those he deemed strong and capable. He got that thing from Russia, and it was bad. It turned the men into unfeeling animals, no feelings, not emotions, they were not that far off them robots.

The way Nick was behaving reminded me of those men, which made me wonder, did he truly send Olivia to jail because he wanted justice for Ethan like he said, or he did it because he wanted to.

That part got my stomach twisting in knots. “Luke, what do you think about this, is this normal, have you ever seen something like this in you line of work?” I had, long time ago, those men the Don injected had a thirst for blood.

“I have a long time ago. Wait here, I need to get the guys to clean up that mess.” I walked away with a heavy heart. Many things were on my mind, and I didn’t know which to believe. If Nick was what I thought, he was then he was more dangerous than we initially thought.

But where could he have gotten the serum? We destroyed everything with Elodie back then. The Don was so angry that he locked us in a cage in the mountains for almost three weeks without food or water.

When he tried to get it again, he couldn’t. that made him even angrier. All the families in our world feared us because of those men. When things settled, father sent them to various places to open new regions.

Two of them died and four are still alive and managing those regions. “Clean up that mess.” I instructed before turning around going back to join Marcus. He looked pale. “Something is up, what is it?” I said nothing but got into the car.

“Luke, I know you are hiding something from me, what is it?” that had nothing to do with him, the only thing he had to worry about was his wife and kid. “It’s nothing, I am just as shocked as you are, and wondering is Ethan calling him a psychopath was a mistake or if he really is that.”

Marcus sighed; he looked out the window as we drove. My phone rang, it was Elodie. I didn’t want to answer but it was going to look suspicious if I didn’t. “Elodie, I am driving, Marcus is going to send you the address of his new home. Meet me there.” I cut the call and glanced at Marcus.

“I will send it. do you think his mother knows something we don’t?” I didn’t respond to that, there was no need to. Elodie was as surprised as I was, worse part was that I never told her about her son killing Marcus’s baby

Getting back to the house, I parked and got out heading straight to the west wing. I needed to be alone to talk freely to Elodie. I didn’t wait long before my sister arrived. Tell me what happened, why did you say that?”

She hadn’t even sat down before she started asking questions. “Hello Elodie, would you like something to drink?” she glared at me taking a seat. “There is not time for that Luke, tell me what is going on?”

A sigh left me. I didn’t know how she was going to take that “Nick, killed Sandra.” I started with an easy one, but Elodie didn’t react. “I would have done the same if I were in his shoes, that woman caused my son a lot of pain. He doesn’t have a wife today because of that woman. If you called me here for that, then I will take my leave.”

I stood and went to get a bottle of whiskey. “I didn’t call you here, you did.” She scoffed. I took a seat. “Him killing Sandra is just a start, looking at this.” I handed her my phone with the pictures of Xander after Nick skinned him.

“Did one of the Don’s robots do this? Do you still allow such things?” I just looked at her until she looked up at me. “No, Luke, no.” I kept staring at her, there was nothing for me to say. She already knew. “Nick wouldn’t, did he?”

Her face, she looked horrified. “Did we leave some of that thing?” I shook my head in the negative. “He couldn’t, Luke.”

“He could, and he did.” We both turned and Nick was standing by the door. He walked in poured himself a drink then took a seat next to his mother.

“I know that you are here discussing me, and I thought it’s only right that I be here.” His mother had this funny look on her face. I couldn’t tell what she was thinking. “I did whatever Luke told you and no, I am not crazy.”

He poured another drinking, downed it, and looked at us. “In business, there are rules, written and unwritten rules but rules, nonetheless. We follow those rules and expand our businesses using our wit, strategy, and intelligence.”

He paused then scanned out faces. “But then what do you do when your world of rules is met with the cunning, despicable underground world where the rules you are used to don’t apply and human life means nothing. What do you do then?”

He downed his drink. “I just followed the norm of the world I didn’t know and mastered it. they didn’t care who they hurt; I had to become like them to show them that we too can do what they do. That we are not afraid just choose not to. But that man pushed me to the edge, and I responded in kind.”

He paused then stood. Walked to the door that I thought he was leaving, but he turned back and come toward us.” Does my response make me heartless, maybe. Does it make me evil, maybe, does it make me a psychopath with a thirst for blood, definitely not!”

“If you are going to sit there and judge me instead of doing what needs to be done when the both of you know how your world is, then we are doomed.” He walked out leaving us there with our mouths hung open.
