After Divorce I Became A Zillionaire

Ava Della Sanchez

I managed and staggered to the kitchen using my hand, as a search. I deep my face into the sink as the waters continue to splash on me, but that wasn’t enough my whole face was on fire I needed something to calm me down, I rush upstairs to our room and ran into the bathroom, but what I saw made a gasp to tore from my lips, my face is all red

“No.. no… no… this is too much” I cried out as I fell on the floor, this pain is too much for me “How could Nicklaus be treating me this way” I cried almost wailing.

I don’t know for how long I stayed or cried in the kitchen, but by the time I woke up, the sun is down, I manage to stand up holding the bathtub, pulling off all my clothing as I feel suffocated, I mix my bath and deep myself into the bath up allowing my body to cool off, my whole face is still aching me but not too much like before. I sat in the bathtub thinking about my life. I was once a lively girl, a girl who was full of life, but slowly, Nicklaus is starting to turn me into a loner.

I wish I can turn back the hands of time to when we were kids, I would have never taken to glances at Nicklaus when they first came to our house and he kept on coming to me begging to be my friend, I always chase him away but mom later talked me out of it, we became friends and then Best Friend, how could he do this to me? I walk out of the shower trying a towel around my body, I step out of the bathroom, walking towards our room everywhere is quiet and that simply implies that he’s not here, I don’t know but I kind of feel okay without him here, I feel like something will always go wrong with him being present, but I always remind myself not to get afraid of him.

He might have treated me like trash but I believe that with time, when he sees my true color that I never meant to ruin his life then maybe he would see me for who I truly am and Sherly’s real identity would be exposed, I just hope that day would come sooner. Nearing my dressing table, I sat on it after drying my body.

I just hope that day comes sooner, cause I don’t know for how long I might be able to hold on to, is it gonna be months, weeks, or years I don’t know but I’m willing to endure all the hardship and insult he throws my way hoping and praying that one day Nicklaus Michealson sees me for who Im are….

“What if that day never comes?” My conscience ask me, I sighed the thought of it alone give me creeps and chills at the same time

“I wish that day never comes” That’s the only thing I could do, pray and have faith that it never happens, I don’t know what it will be like. I’m now brushing my hair as I walk towards our closet to get a light cloth. I can’t wait for this hell call honeymoon to be over, hopefully, Nicklaus won’t have to bring in Sherly in our home, “who are my kidding?” I laugh at my stupid thought forgetting he was the same person that borough a lady in our room the night after our wedding.

I walk out of the room closing the four along as I stroll downstairs, my stomach made a rumbling sound, I sighed remembering I haven’t had anything since morning, thanks to me I’m with my pulse I have no strength to do anything, I walk down the fancy eatery at the last floor, as I took my seat near the window, looking out at the scenario of how the cool weather and the breeze bless the night seeing couples that cuddles themselves together, a tear drip down from my eyes, this could have been us, this is the dream I have for us, but it’s just like some kind of people like me ain’t meant for that.

My order arrived as the waiter drop the hot noodle with an orange juice on the table, the sweet aroma of the noodle bless my nose, rising all my appetite as I picked the fork and dive into action, I devoured the food not minding if it’s hot, actually I like my noodles when it’s hot and that’s why right now it’s the best for the cool weather.

I finished my noodles within some minutes as I ordered yet another plate which I devoured too and gulped everything down with a glass of my orange juice. The waiter came back with a face full of smiles which I return, “Saw you enjoyed your meal ma”

“Absolutely sweetheart I did, that’s a nice restaurant you got here,” I said looking around,

“Thanks, ma, thanks for patronizing us”

“Oh please, you people are awesome,” I said, making her blush.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“How much is the bill”

“A thousand dollars” She replied, I collected a thousand five hundred and gave her

“Ma… your”

I didn’t allow her to finish as I wave it off

“Ohh least keep the rest” I smile at her

“Ohhhh… my thanks so much” She gushed as she threw herself on me in a deep embrace which I returned.

Right now I’m sitting at a balcony downstairs enjoying the calm night that is slowly slipping in, the breeze blowing my hair around, and I can imagine what the sight would be, smiles spread across my lip on the calmness it gave to my soul, my thought wanders to the lady at the restaurant. I smile remembering how she appreciated me, I felt at peace. I watch as Nicklaus drives into the suite recklessly, I know he had been with Sherly since morning, it does not suppose to go well with me but somehow I preferred it.

I watched as he came out of the car in rage, immediately I felt chills as his eyes met mine. I sat in my place as he walked towards me, my heartbeat increased as one near me could hear it, I know his rage isn’t normal. He pulled me up by my shirt immediately dragging me inside

“What is wrong with you?” I manage to ask as he tighten his hold on my collar making me choke on my breath, it was fast and we’re already in our room,

“Nicklaus, what is it?” I tried to ask but he pushed me on the bed as I fell hitting my head on the bed stand, and he tore my shirt forcefully, tears brimmed my eyes.

“I hate you……!!!” He screamed and pounce on me.
