After Divorce I Became A Zillionaire

Ava Della Sanchez

Tears blurred my vision, I don’t know but I lost my voice completely at that moment. I could feel Chris taking me away to where I’m not sure of, at the moment I’m too devastated to care,

“Stand here..” Chris told me as he opened his car door, that’s when I realized we were standing beside his flashy Ferrari, I allowed my tears to flow, and I could feel a banging headache slamming in. Chris started cleaning my body with a towel, I could feel my eyes moving in circles. I’m feeling dizzy but right now I’m trying my best to keep in check.

The more I fight the urge to keep myself from caving into dizziness, the more it keeps on coming back.

“Fuck! Are you okay?” Chris asked, guess he noticed my uneasiness

“I’m fine you don’t……” I couldn’t complete my sentence a huge dizziness slammed in followed by a banging headache

“Ahhhh…..!!!!!!” I screamed holding my head, my knees made to give in weakly to the bare floor but Chris was fast enough to catch me halfway.

“Fuck! I’m taking you to the hospital!!!” I heard Chris’s voice filled with panic and care, slowly I opened my weak eyes to stare at him, tears streamed down from the corner of my eyes seeing total strangers care for me the way my husband never did.

“You will be fine” He assured me and kissed my forehead, he swooped me in his arms and carried me into the car, my eyes became heavy as he laid me down on the back seat. I tried to keep my eyes open, but nature was stronger so I gave in to my flesh and darkness took over.

I opened my eyes to see myself laying down, I look around to see that everywhere is white, I made to seat up when I found out a drip was connected to my hand,

“You’re awake” I hear a voice behind me and turned to see Chris giving me a warm smile as he advances closer to me,

“What happened?” I ask in a hoarse voice,

“You passed out” He muttered shrugging his shoulder,

”How do you feel now?” He asks touching my forehead to feel my temperature

“I feel better thanks”

“It’s nothing ” He smiles, showing me his cute dimples that normally makes my heart palpitate.

I noticed I was starting too much, I blink my eyes twice and look away, avoiding the awkward moment like it never happened

“I need to go home”

“Fuck Ava not now, at least not in your condition” He pointed out at my hand

“Chris it’s fine, I need to be home, I don’t want Nickolas to think negative”

“For Peter’s sake Ava, when will you start to think about yourself, and not that selfish husband of yours!” He groans

“Mind your language Chris, that’s my husband!!…”

“A husband that does not know your worth?”

“How dare you, Chris?” I ask angrily and jump down from the bed, disconnecting the drip connected to my hand.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Careful Ava,” He said and made to come to me, but I stopped him with a wave of my hand.

“That you met me days ago doesn’t mean you know everything about me, thanks for taking care of me, I bet to take my leave”

“Ava…. Ava…..” He kept on calling, but I never looked back till I left the hospital premises, I know I was a little bit harsh, but he needs to know when he’s crossing his boundaries. Nicholas might not be the best husband, but I love him so much to allow someone to speak Ill of him.

I boarded a taxi home since I left my car in Nickolas’s company, will go and pick it up another day but certainly not today, throughout the ride, my head was occupied with so many things but surprisingly this time around it was not Nickolas, I was more concerned with the way I treated Chris earlier in the hospital.

I made to call him but I knew he might not be in the mood to pick up, so I sighed and rested my back on the car seat. The taxi stopped in front of our mansion. I alighted from the taxi and paid the taxi driver

“Mam your change” The taxi driver called out to me

“You can keep it” I halted on my step and told him

“Thank you so much mam” He screamed behind me

“It’s nothing” I waved it off and entered the mansion.

I could hear a thunder strike, which means that it was about to get rainy. The weather started to change as the clouds made a rumbling sound. I pushed the door open when I noticed it was locked from the inside. I was taken aback since it’s an unusual act. I started knocking but there was no response, I looked back and found out that the rain is already falling but not too much yet! I pulled out my cell phone and called madam Perky when the door suddenly opened revealing Nickolas’s.

“Nickolas I’ve been kno……” I couldn’t complete my sentence when I saw Shirley as she came and stood beside Nickolas only in a short towel, with a smirk on her face, I sighed as my chest tightened on beholding the sight. But not again. They have had a full of my pathetic self, I balled my fist, I’m not going to allow them to get to me. Not in this weak and sick state.

“Nicholas I need to go inside I’ve been standing out here for a while”

“Get lost” He gritted out his face void of emotion. I don’t know but what he said resounded a thousand times in my head

“I don’t understand?” I ask to make sure I heard him right.

“Bitch I said get back to where you came from”

“Nickolas, why are you like this?”

“Bitch get lost, that’s what you are…”

I smirk and stood my ground

“Well not this time around Nickolas Michealson, this is my husband’s house and legally you have no right to chase me out”

“And who’s house is it?” He asks smirking devilishly, he knows what he’s doing

“Nickolas this is unfair”

“Bitch you heard him, get the hell out” Shirley lashes at me, all the walls I built around me, all the courage finally crumbled.

I allowed the punished tears, the heartbreaking agony, to let loose, I left Chris in a bad way rushing home to my husband only to be sent out by my husband.

“Nickolas, everything I’ve done is for you. I have kept myself since childhood all for you. I never loved another, all for you. I’m sacrificing myself to see that your company is stable, I know what I did to make sure your company is revived even though you didn’t know, and yet! You choose to treat me like trash, distracting me in public and making sure I lose my respect everywhere I go”

With a broken heart, a weakened eyeballs that were tired of crying, and my weak soul I look up to him

“Congratulations Nickolas Michealson you have succeeded in breaking down my walls, from today I’m giving you the freedom you have always wanted, you can have the traitor you love so much, I strip myself off every legal right you and I have over each other” I pulled off my wedding ring

“Here….” I showed him the ring and threw it away in the rain

“I Ava Della Sanchez, Divorce you Nickolas Michealson as my lawfully wedded husband, I give you the freedom you’ve wanted so much. Sorry for bothering your life, and sorry for ever loving you, I will sign the divorce papers and send it back to you”

I could feel his eyes on me the whole time, but it’s over I can’t take it anymore, I’m tired of enduring the brutality of the hell I choose, I deserve better. I entered the rain as I walked out of the mansion, but right now I cared less. I fell to my knees immediately. I’m out of the mansion, my tears mixed with the rain and finally, I let out all my emotions, crying, weeping, bleeding my heart. The shattering of my soul and most especially the piercing of my tender heart.

I clutch my heart tightly in tears as the rain drench my body, a car pulled before me but I cared less to see who it was.

“Come….” I heard a voice and looked up to see Chris standing before me, drenched in the rain
