Her Ex-husband’s Wrath

I look at Ashley and Agatha. They are in the garden while Agatha combs Ashley’s hair. I am here in my library and I just peeked at them from here in my window. I smile seeing them both talking. Agatha smiled at me then pointed at me. Ashley looked up and Agatha whispered something then raised her hand.

I see Ashley smiling while waving at me. She also gave me a flying kiss so I smiled. Her doing good. Day by day there is improvement in her.

I heard my phone ring so I grabbed it from my pocket. A police friend who was in charge of Paula’s case and that Kranky.

“Yes, bro?”

“Bad news,” I arc my brow on what he said.

“What do you mean?”

“Paula Collins is free,” I stand straight because of what he said.

“What the fuck, how did it happen?”

“His lawyer filed a bill and appealed that what happened there is self-defense. Well, it’s clearly self-defense because it’s happening inside her home. That Polio did trespassing,” I clenched my fist because of what he said.

“Is there any case to sue her?”

“You’re eager to put her in jail, but no, she’s a victim. Besides, she has a reason, she said she’s pregnant and wanted to protect her baby. ”

“What happened to her baby?”

“Well, thanks, God it’s safe,” he replied. “Anyway, is there a problem with Paula? I thought both of you are ok?”

“She fucking betrayed me, she ruined my life.”

“Oh, against the law? Then we can file a case against her, ”

“When my wife is ok. Thanks for the info by the way, ”

“If you need something just call me,”

“Sure,” And I ended the call.

I punched the wall out of anger. I want that woman put in jail. I just wiped my face because I can’t think clearly right now. I heard Agatha laugh and when I look at them I saw Ashley holding a flower and dancing and singing but the face remains emotionless.

My heart aches. Even though she’s ok in my eyes I know she’s still not ok inside. She still has no emotions. And she became like that because of that fucking bitch.

I took my jacket and car key and left the office and approached them.

“You’re going?” Agatha asked me.

“Yeah.”

“Where?”

“Work-related, can you take care of Ashley first?”

“Sure.”

“Thanks,” I said and approached Ashley. “Ash, I will leave for a while and come back soon, ok? Agatha will take care of you.”

“Are you going to your wife?”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“No,” I replied then looked at Agatha. “Ah, your husband and I will just talk.”

“Don’t tell him where I am because he might be angry with me because I hid.”

“Sure, but I know he won’t be mad at you.” I touched her face.

“The warmth of your palm, as warm as my husband’s palm.” I caressed her cheek because of what she said.

“Really?” then I sat next to her. “That is really the palm of a person who touches the body or skin of the person they love. It’s as warm as their love.” She backed away because of what I said so I was surprised.

I looked at Agatha who was also surprised.

“Ashley, is there a problem?” Agatha asked.

“Does he love me?” she asked. Agatha and I looked at her question. “Does that man love me?” she added.

“Yeah, why, is it bad that he loves you?”

“Yes, because I love someone else, My husband is the one I love.” Agatha smiled and approached her.

“Yeah, we got it, right bro?” 

“As always,” I replied. I already have handled this kind of case so I know how to handle her. She’s still a bit confused so I don’t want to put pressure on her. “Anyway, need to go, do you want to tell something to your husband, Ashley?” I ask.

“Yes, tell him, I love him so much.”

“Noted, I love you too he said.” I see her face blushed. “I’ll go, Agatha,”

“Okay take care,”

I drove the car as fast I can. If it weren’t for so many cars at every traffic light, I would have even passed a red light. I can’t wait to see that bitch. Why didn’t she just end up dying?

I park my car and get off quickly. I went straight to the reception area to find out where she was confined. She was taken here to my hospital after that incident.

“Good afternoon, sir,”

“What ward is Paula Collins?” I asked the reception nurse.

“Room 14 sir.”

I did not answer her. I walk fast towards her room. I opened the door and I caught her taking blood pressure from a nurse.

“Hi, babe,” she greeted when she saw me.

“Normal blood pressure, ma’am,”

“Thanks, because my boyfriend is here, my baby’s daddy.” The nurse smiled at what she said.

“All right, I’m leaving, I’ll be back later for the meds,” the Nurse said.

“What time is her next monitor?” I asked the nurse. She first looked at the schedule sheet she was carrying before answering.

“4 hours after doc, for the test.” I remain quiet and let her go.

When she left I approached the door then locked it and walked towards Paula.

I hold her face and squeeze her hard but she didn’t avoid it.

“Is it true that you were the one who did it to my wife?” Calm but full of anger.

“Should I repeat it? You asked that means you know it already.” She smiled in response.

“You’re an animal!” I am about to slap her but I did not continue.

“Go on, hurt me as you did to Ashley.”

“Don’t dare to mention her name, if you don’t want me to blow your mouth.” She did not respond to what I said. “Why Pau? What did she do to you, why did you ruined her life?” I try to restrain myself. Because I knew that once I hurt her I could no longer control myself.

“Ow, so sweet of you, just as sweet likes you how you hugged me in front of her. Flirting with me so you could hurt her.”

“You’re an animal.” She laughed out loud because of what I said.

“I know, I know babe,”

“Why did you do that to her? What is her fault with you?”

“Nothing,” I am holding my patients, just a little and I will strangle this woman.

“Fuck you, you ruined my wife’s life and you’re going to tell me ‘nothing’?”

“Well, she doesn’t, but her brother does.” She answered seriously and then settled down. “Her brother killed my sister and her baby.”

“She deserved it because she’s an asshole like you,”

“It doesn’t make sense and I don’t care.”

“You’re fucking crazy,”

“I know, babe, again, I know,”

“Stop calling me that shit,”

“Why? we used to call that endearment right, you used to call me that while moaning at pleasure. That’s why this baby is formed.” I look at her stomach and now I just noticed its bulge. “Baby, daddy is looking at you, I think he can’t wait to see you.”

“I will file a case against you for what you did to Ashley. We have a shred of evidence against you.” Paula laughs like she doesn’t care.

“Threatened me? Go on, if you can scandalize your wife. If you can put her name in shame.” I was silent on what she said. She’s right it is a big scandal when everyone found out what happened to Ashley. “I don’t care what you will do, Asher, put me in jail or whatever. I also don’t care if you will kill our baby. Go, if your conscience can handle it, then kill your own flesh. But let me tell you that whatever happens, I will take your responsibility to stand on this fucking baby once I delivered this shit.”

“Stop using the child.”

“That’s why I got pregnant with you so I could use you.”

“You don’t like to have a kid.”

“Hmph, but I can use this little shit against you. You know I can abort it because I don’t care about it. But I won’t do that, because I have nothing to hold on to you.”

“Why do you include me in your shit? If you are angry with Hunter for what he did to your sister, go back to him and ruined him not me.”

She laughed again as if there was no end. When she straightened up she then looked at me.

“Don’t you understand it, babe?” she asked then frowned. “I didn’t just do it because of Hunter only. I do this because of you. Because I love you.”

“Stupid,”

“Yeah, I am stupid, deeply in love with you. Ever since I met you.”

“What?”

“You’re a fool,  why I should allow myself to be your girl even if I know you’re crazy about your slut wife if I don’t like you.”

“Don’t call her like that,”

“Why? it’s true, she’s a slut before you’ve married her. Why, Ash? Why not just me? Why didn’t you love me even I gave you my purity. Why you can’t love me even if I prove to you how much I love you. I can do better than her, I can love you more than she loves you, I can give you more pleasure, I am better than her in everything, but why you can’t love me just like how you love her?” I sighed then smiled foolishly.

“You know, Pau if I have any regrets? That is I believe in the kindness you have shown me. How clean you were when I claimed you, is as dirty now I look at you because of what I found out about you.”

I approached her and held her hand then held her tightly.

“You won’t get anything out of me, nothing.”

“You’re wrong, Asher, you made a mistake by rejecting me.”

“I don’t care, but never touch my wife again. Because I won’t hesitate to kill you even if you bring my baby, it’s my time now to take care of her against you.”

“If you defend your wife you act like you didn’t hurt her. Why? You can’t accept that she knew the real you because of what I did? That you’re an animal like me on how you treat her? That she see your true colors?”

“Stop saying nonsense, you don’t know anything.”

“Ow, really? You’re just throwing me back your anger at yourself because you can’t accept that you hurt your wife?” She smiles at me. “You know what, Ash, between the two of us you are really shameless, and not me. Because you are able to hurt the woman you love so much. You ignored her and you judged her. You’re worse than me. So, you make me feel like I’m to blame for what happened to your wife to at least clean up your guilt. I may be the reason but you still made it worse. I started it, but you finished it so we don’t make any difference and don’t put all the blame on me because you make her feel suffer, didn’t you? She suffered in your hands in her husband’s hands.”

I feel guilty because of what she said because what she said is true. I punished Ashley without knowing the truth, and that is my forever regret.

“You’ll pay for it,” that is all I said.

“All right, if you can accept this scandal. Put me in jail, so everyone will know that your wife fucked by four men at once and got pregnant so she hides from you.”

“I will make sure you will go from my sight, you and your baby,” I said and left her.

“Bye, babe, baby said take care,”

I will come up with a decision now. And I hope God can forgive me.
