Revenge After Divorce by Black Rose

Chapter 281 MARCUS "Home. I want to go home." Those were the first words Olivia spoke when she finally wake up. The urgency and exhaustion in her voice were clear, and it broke something into hear it. Home. The place where she could feel safe again, where she could begin to heal. I didn't hesitate for a second.

I reached for my phone and quickly typed out a message to my team, instructing them to inform the pilot that we would be leaving in a couple of hours. I knew the others might have wanted to wait until tomorrow, but I wasn't listening to anyone else. I was listening to my wife, and she needed to go home. Today.

When she made that vow, "I will never leave again,” her voice was full of conviction, as if the weight of her promise was settling into the very core of her being. It wasn't just words; it was a declaration. In that moment, I knew something had shifted in her, she was no longer running. She was fighting. For us. For her family. And that madebelieve that everything we had been through wasn't in vain.

I could see it in her eyes, this wasn't the woman I had known before the island. She wasn't herself, and I understood why she wanted to leave. The island had taken so much from her, and every part of it had beca painful reminder of the darkness that Xander had cast over her life. But the fact that she was asking for home, that she recognized the danger of staying here, madebelieve that I hadn't lost her. That she hadn't been consumed by the trauma. There was still a part of her that was strong enough to fight her way back I couldn't let that chance slip away. I wasn't about to delay our departure. We were leaving today, and nothing was going to change that.

Nick, Luke, and Ethan had con their own with Luke's jet, and I had arrived separately. That meant I could take Olivia, the kids, and leave without waiting for anyone else. This was my family, and I would take them has quickly as possible.

"I will take you and the kids home, my love," I told her, my voice steady but full of reassurance.

For a brief moment, something flickered in her eyes, but before I could pinpoint what it was, it vanished. She gavethat look, the one that toldshe was holding something back, something she wasn't ready to say just yet. It wasn't fear or uncertainty, but something deeper. Still, I could see the weight of everything she had endured in her gaze.

"They're safe, baby. Both of them are safe," I added, sensing her concern about the children.

She exhaled a heavy sigh, as if my words were a balm for the raw nerves inside her. I watched her push through the pain and the fear, her resilience shining through as she got dressed in the clothes I had brought for her. There was something about her that had changed, she was no longer the woman who had been lost, uncertain, and broken. Now, she was fighting, and I would fight beside her every step of thes way.

"Tell whoever is back there to bring them here," she said with newfound determination. "We are leaving from here straight to the airport. I'm not going back to that hotel" I could hear the finality in her tone. She didn't just want to leave the island. She wanted to erase every trace of it from her life, as if stepping away from this place would allow her to put it all behind her. I understood exactly how she felt, and I couldn't blher. The island had beca prison, and she wanted nothing more than to take our children and go home.

"I will make sure they are here as soon as possible,” I said, already walking toward the door to make the necessary calls.

Hipresence was a reminder of how much we had all been through together, and the strength we had found in one arsher.

"Thank you," he said, his voice heavy with gratitude. “Thank you for finding her, for protecting her. Take her hand take Ethan as well. I will stay with Nick to sort everything else out here.

Luke's gaze lingered onfor a long moment. There was something in his eyes, respect, but also something deeper, like he understood just how far I had cto get tothis point. He gave a small nod before responding

"You are a good husband and father, Marcus," he said, his tone steady but sincere. "Take care of your family, are of and we will meet up soon. Don't worry about anything else. I have already arranged for the nanny to bring the kids to you. They will be here soon."

His words were simple, but they hithard. I hadn't realized how much I needed to hear them until now, inth whirlwind of everything that had happened, it was easy to lose sight of the things that mattered most, my family. But Luke had a way of cutting through all the noise, remindingof the core of what was important. "I appreciate it, Luke," I said, a weightlifting from my shoulders. "You have done more than enough." He gavea small, reassuring smile before clappingon the back. “Just focus on getting your family home, Marcus. We have got everything else under control."

As I watched him walk away, I felt a deep sense of gratitude for the people in my life. They had helpedprotect the woman loved, and rotect the y now, they were ensuring that our kids would be safe and with us. It was a small but significant reminder of the strength of our bonds, the kind of strength that was going to carry us through whatever cnext.
