Her Ex-husband’s Wrath

Ley is walking here and there in the conference room. I did not go in first, I just tried to calm myself. Whatever we will gonna talk inside I will gonna insist mine and win. I will be the one to follow and not her.

I know Hailey and I know how much he loves Hunter, and she knows how much my brother loves me. So, for sure she will make a way to get me to Asher, or worse maybe Asher will find out the truth.

That can’t happen, neither of those two can happen. So I had to push mine. To stay here without Asher knowing the truth.

“Ley,” I called to her as I stood in the doorway.

“Come in here and don’t stand there.” I pulled the door shut and then walked towards her.

“Why are you here, Ley?”

“Stupid, you’re really asking me why I am here?” she calmly said when I could finally enter. But I did not mind what she said. Even though I wanted to cry I still tried to be strong. “I am the one to ask you, what is this stupidity and why you are here?” There was an annoyance in her voice when she asked me.

“The red agency sent me here, remember, I told you once that I am a part of them,”

“Stupid, you said that you are a part of them as an investor, You didn’t say you work for them, so you lied to me?”

“Ley, I am sorry,”

“Yes or no?”

“Yes,”

“What?”

“Ley, let me explain,”

“Hey, I’ve allowed you to work and haven’t received help from me since I found out what happened to you. Even though I can feed you and I can provide for Charles’ needs I let you do what you want because you said you could do it. I agreed not to let Hunter and Asher know what happened to you even though I knew that my husband could blame me because he loved you so much and I lied. I consent to everything you want because that is where you are happy. So don’t give me an excuse and use the red agency and I might go crazy now and close it.”

“Ley, I am in a red agency,”

“Ah, so do you really stand for this nonsense? Do you want me to close that agency, right away? Don’t mess with me, Ashley, answer correctly, why are you here? and you owe Clifford money?”

“Ley.” There I cried and approached her then knelt down.

“Stand up and don’t cry,”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Ley,”

“Stand up and answer me,”

“I love him, Ley.” She did not answer and pulls me.

“Stand up and let’s talk properly.” She helped me to stand and then sat me in a chair. She also sat across from me.

“Ley, I’m sorry if I lied to you.”

“Stop crying and tell me the truth why are you here,”

“Because I want to be with him, I want to see him, so I’m willing to be his slave.”

“He’s hurting you and I can not accept that, see, you have bruises so come with me and we will go home.” 

“Hunter used to hurt you too, didn’t he? but you stayed,”

“Stop comparing our relationship to yours.”

“Even though he hurts me I still love him. I can’t blame him for what he did to me because I left him so he was hurt.”

“You didn’t like what happened to you and you’re not at fault. Do you understand? You’re a victim here Ashley, you’re the victim here so don’t be too stupid.”

“But I still leave because I didn’t want to hurt him. I wanted to leave him even though he begged me. He was hurt because I made him believe I went with others. It hurts, Ley, for a man who does almost everything and accepts me wholeheartedly, and then I’ll just go with the others because he doesn’t have any warmth in me anymore.”

“Then go back to him, did you hear? He will still accept you even if you go with others and he will accept you over and over again.”

“And Charles, what will gonna happen to my son?”

“I’ll take care of him,”

“I don’t want Asher to know the truth and he’ll be hurt even more,”

“Why, do you think he’s not hurting now? He’s still hurting, huh? What’s the difference then?”

“Ley, please, just let me do this,”

“Let you do this kind of stupidity? You’re out of your mind. You didn’t think carefully,”

“Please, Ley, even just now, I promised I will keep in touch with you,”

“Ashley, that’s enough, you’re just hurting yourself. Learn to give up. Even hard rocks break if it’s constantly watered. Stop this madness. You are not only hurting yourself, but you are also hurting him especially because you keep showing on him. You’re just driving his brain crazy.”

“Ley, we’ve been hurt both for a long time. This is the only way I can be with him without introducing Charles to him. Let me, Ley. I need him, I need both of them.”

“Stop it, Ashley. You’re making a fool of yourself. If you don’t feel sorry for yourself, feel sorry for Asher. We know that even though he’s getting stronger and tough on you, he still loves you.”

“You once become stupid because of love, don’t you?” She suddenly calmed down. “You must be the first to understand me. We may have different ways and feelings of love but we have the same reason why we do such things. Ley, because we love them and we don’t want them to out from our sight.” Then I took her hand and kiss. She didn’t answer or mind what I was doing.

“Ley, I love Asher. He’s not the first but he’s the last. But I can’t turn my back on Charles and you know that. But I need Asher more but he shouldn’t meet him. Asher will never come back to me but it will never change that he will be the last man I will love. Ley, I just want to see him and be with him until he forgives me.” I couldn’t stop myself from crying.

“Damn love. That’s why our lives are plagued because of that stupid love.”

“Ley, let me be with him, I want him as my strength right now, I need his presence at least. To remind me about our good memories. Our happy memories and we once shared. It gives me strength to survive.”

“What can I do? If I was the first to become a fool because of love.” Then she touched my face. “I will let you stay with him, but when something bad happens to you, I will take you back.”

“Thank you, Ley, thank you,”

“As long as I can, I’m just here.” I smile and hug her. “I’ll help you, I won’t leave you, but I hope you too become ok before your brother will come.”

“Yes, I will, I’ll stay with him until we’re ok.”

“You should because I’ll take you back before your brother finds out the truth.”

“Thank you, Ley, I love Asher so much, Ley. I love him so much. So thank you for your understanding.”
