Her Ex-husband’s Wrath

“Charles, his name is Charles, he is handsome, has red cheeks, piercing nose, red lips. He is good at hugging, nice to kiss and I gave him the money because he is sick and needed to have surgery.” Then I smiled at him and touched him on the cheek. “He is my everything, my all, I’m ready to be your slave, to be the bed slave of my ex-husband just to save him, and you know what? Even if it wasn’t you, I am still willing to offer to anyone myself just to get money to pay for his operation because I love him, dearly dear more than my own life.”

I was just shocked by what happened next because all the displays on his desk fell. I saw Asher’s fists clench tightly as he looked at me wickedly. His face turns red and I know it’s because of the rage of anger.

“I hope he doesn’t survive so you will lose everything you’ve worked for,” he barely said.

“Don’t wish for it, Ash, because you will never find me again, I will be gone like a bubble.” I was surprised when he suddenly grabbed my cheek tightly while gritting his teeth.

“Damn you, Ashley. You really want a hell huh! Then prepare your fuking self because I will make sure you will suffer at my hand. I will punish all the corners of your body. I will pierce your soul with the pain you inflicted on me.” Then he pushed me to the floor.

I am already hurting for a long time, Ash. No one will be hurt by what happened to me then and what happened to us. If I get hurt more it is because I see you hurt. I just want to come back as your friend. But it seems vague because I know I hurt you badly.

“Hurry up and get the paper the investors won’t wait for us,” he said and quickly walked out of the office. 

I get up and fix myself and follow him immediately.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

We are now on our way to the Red Sea bar for a meeting. He will meet young businessmen who want to supply medicine to his hospital. The meeting place is at the bar since they are only his age. Since Asher and I got married I haven’t stepped into any bar so I’m a little bit excited.

I seat in the passenger seat of the car and there was no commotion between the two of us so I opened the conversation while he was just focused on the road because he is the one who drives.

“Asher, can we talk?” I softly call him but didn’t look at him.

“Spill it.” He commands with his eyes fixed on the road.

“I’m sorry about what happened earlier. I didn’t mean to ………….”

“Cut it. I don’t give a shit.” I sighed then continued.

“Can we be friends? Same as before when we weren’t married.” He stopped the car in the middle of the road and then looked at me sharply. Good thing that there are few cars behind us.

“Have you heard yourself, do you want me to be your friend? You know what Ash, if only you hadn’t married me and go with a different man. I’m still a good friend of yours. But no, you married me and then defecate me in my head and left me with another man.”

“Ash.”

“Stop! Why, are you afraid of me? I haven’t done anything yet, wait first before you get scared.”

“I’m sorry, I hope you’ll forgive me when the day comes.”

“There’s no room in the heart for the word forgiveness for you. I’ve given it to you a few times but you still prefer to hurt me.” He continues driving while I am quietly crying.

I just remember before that when I cried he was confused. He will grab me and hug me and tell me that everything will be ok. Now he is the one who makes me cry.

When we arrived, Asher parked the car across from the Red Sea. The surroundings are quite dark since it’s night already. He came down immediately so I followed too.

“Hand me the docu,” he said so I handed him the papers. “Stay here,” he added.

“What?” I wondered.

“I said, stay here.”

“But I’m your PA,” I said and he smiled.

“I can do this without you, that’s why I don’t need you there,” he replied then walked away so I didn’t do anything.

I tried to open the car to get inside and wait there but didn’t want to open it.

“Ash, I think you forgot to unlock the car.” He turned around and smiled.

“No I’m not, stay here outside,” he said then walked inside.

There is no waiting area outside and only the gutter can seat so I went there and sat. I look at them from here because I see them inside. They talk seriously. They also talked for a while until I saw them shake hands and then drink.

Are they closing the deal?

Why hasn’t Asher come down yet?

It’s past 8 pm but they haven’t finished drinking yet. My stomach is getting a little bloated because I haven’t had dinner yet. I saw a man stand up when he came back he was with a woman. The other approached Asher and tapped him.

I saw him smiling and seemed to pinch my heart. Before, he used to not want to touch or even look at any woman because he was afraid I would be jealous. Now, it used to be irreversible. The girl kissed him and he kissed her back. He raised his hands while kissing it.

While they’re kissing the woman’s hand goes at Asher’s body while grinding over. The girl stood up and held Asher’s hand then the woman pulled him. Asher laughed as he followed the woman and his companions applauded.

They left and at the same time, they disappeared from my sight. The leftovers continue to drink. Seeing Asher with others especially you know what they are doing hurts me.

I know I have no right to get hurt because it is me the reason why he changed. But I can’t hold my feelings. 

“Ashley?” I looked at the one who calls me and I immediately stood up when I recognized who is it.

“Eugene, hi,” It is Eugene, Hailey’s Ex-husband.
