Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

NICK

I was woken up by my phone ringing nonstop. I tried to ignore it, but the person was persistent. He would call and cut then start again. Without opening my eyes, I picked up the call. “What!” I was so annoyed; did they see the time? Well, I didn’t know what time it was as well, but it was not the time to be calling people.

“Sir, I am sorry to wake you, but you have to see the news, it’s bad boss, really bad.” I was awake in a second. I got out of bed wearing only my shorts and went to switch on the tv. “We don’t know who leaked it, but Jones enterprises stock is plummeting over the news.” I caught that bulleting at the end.

I didn’t know what it was about and what was it about our stock plummeting. Just what the hell was going on? I cut the call and checked on my phone. Written in bold the article was there. “Jones enterprise stock is plummeting following the news of their former CEO James Jone’s dirty laundry being aired for everyone to see.

Mr. Jones senior is accused of stepping out on his wife and enjoying time with a young call girl whose name was not disclosed. Sources say that the girl is old enough to be his daughter. Though not illegal what he did. His reputation is suffering a great deal.

According to the employees of the club and the footage that was leaked, Mr. Jones senior has been a frequent member of the club for months now.” I couldn’t believe the nonsense. My father would never do such a thing. Who the hell was smearing our name like that?

I got dressed and drove to my parent’s house, they might not know about what was happening and I wanted to be the one to tell them. I dialled the man on the way. “Sir?”

“Find out who did this and find a way to discredit the news. Find evidence that they are false and that my father was framed. I need all this within the hour, our stock is plummeting, and we can’t afford for them to dive any further than they already have.”

I then cut the call, he would know what to do and I was confident we were going to put the matter to bed before lunch then I will be going after the one who did this. He has messed with the wrong family.

Getting to my parent’s house, I couldn’t believe the vultures. The reporters. filled the street in front of my house with news vans. Cameras set up and waiting. Do they never sleep? It was after three in the morning for goodness’s sake. They were taking the “News don’t sleep” thing so seriously.

I drove around the back and got into the house like that. My parents were asleep and had no idea what was going on out there. I went to their room; I had to wake them and tell them what was going on. “Mom, dad. Wake up.”

Dad jumped up. “What is it?” he said getting out of bed still looking disoriented. “Dad, we need to talk.” He looked at mom who just turned to the other side and continued to sleep. Dad and I walked out to his study.

He sat behind his desk. “What is it Nick, did you even see the time?” I said nothing but switch on the TV. He looked at the news and I saw shame in his eyes. My heart sank, “No, dad, no. don’t tell me they are telling the truth.”

He sighed. “It’s not like that, Nick.” I got pissed, how could he? “Then please tell me, what is it like dad?” he stood. “I don’t want to talk about this.” He was slowly pissing me off, our stock was plummeting, and he was busy telling me it was not like that.

“Did you see our stock? Investors have been calling, the board, everyone wants answers, and I don’t have them. then you tell me it’s not like that? your are not denying anything dad, so tell me what you mean. Why you would go looking for call girls, is mom not enough for you anymore. Is this some… I would say midlife crisis, but you are passed that. so, what is it?”

The anger in I suggested that he was sleeping with call girls. brought a chill into the room. “Never ask me something as stupid as that, ever again and I will never betray your mother like that. this is complicated.”

I didn’t understand what the man was talking about. My phone rang before I

could ask my father any more questions. I checked and it was the man. “Sir?”

“Yes, talk to me,” he was silent for a while. “Tell me like it is, what did you find?” he sighed. “The video is legit; it was not doctored, and the employees. are telling the truth. Sir, has been frequent to the club and I saw the girl he always spends time with when he is there?”

I turned to look at dad. “What did she have to say?” my father was not the person I thought he was. “I don’t know what to say sir. But she did confirm that she has been seeing your father for nine months now. Always goes there on Fridays and pays cash.”

I clenched my jaw with my anger rising by the second. “So, everything they are saying is true.” It was more like a statement not a question. “Yes, everything they are saying is the truth but…”

“But what?” I needed something to squash the news but so far, I had nothing. He just confirmed that everything they were saying was the truth and so did my father. I needed to find a way to make all that go away before. it affected our family and business any further.

“The girl mentioned that she never slept with your father, she told me that. they only sit and talk for an hour then he would pay and leave. She said he has been doing that since they met and not once did, he ask to sleep with her or showed interest in doing so.”

Just what the hell was father doing with that girl? “Who leaked the information?” he didn’t answer. “I will not ask you again, who the hell leaked the information?” he was making me angrier than I already was.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
