Her Ex-husband’s Wrath

“I have good news for you.” I am looking at Ley while waiting for her to continue.

“Spill it,”

“It’s time to returned the favor,” she replied.

“What do you mean?” I ask and look at her and Eugene. He laid the papers in front of me. “What is this?”

“Open it.” I took the paper and was surprised at what I saw. “Paula has illegal business accumulated by that asshole Kranky,” she said.

“And oh, another witness said that they had a relationship,” Eugene added.

“Wait, are you saying that Paula cheated on me?”

“And you are not the father of her baby.” I furrowed my forehead because of what Ley said. It doesn’t sink into my mind what she said.

“Wait, wait, wait,”

“Don’t be confused, Asher,” Ley handed me the paternity test. “That’s what people with money and with a lot of connections can do. 9 weeks before you can get a paternity test on a pregnant woman, and since Paula’s baby is 12 weeks, I got it from her ob. ”

“I’m gonna kill that bitch,” I said.

“Why? Regrets that you are not the father? ” Eugene asks.

“Of course not, I am thankful that she is not pregnant with me. Besides, how sure I am that I am her first and she’s not undergone surgery? I will kill her for ruining our life, she ruined Ashley’s life. Our relationship. She blocked us the day Charles dies just to make us believe a lie. If she hadn’t come that day I would have met Charles. I wish I could sympathize with Ashley when she lost her son.”

“I got you ‘bro, but it’s already happened. So what’s your plan?” Eugene asked.

“I can’t file a case on her, what happened to Ashley will be revealed. I don’t want my wife to be embarrassed. She suffered too much.”

They both look at me.

I am confused and I don’t know what to do. When I file a case against Paula about what happened to Ashley will be revealed. She will be put to shame and I don’t want that to happen.

“Her father disowns her,” I look at Ley when she says that.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“What?” Eugene and I both asked.

“I told daddy about what she died, and oh maybe you forget that her father and my father are close as hell. His daddy asked my daddy to help to investigate Kranky. Remember? Kranky said before he dies that Paula ordered her to kidnapped and abused someone? So, yes, I told his dad who he was so his dad got angry and kicked her out. Inheritance and property were taken away. His father won’t tolerate her, we all know that Collins, Amaranth, and Lewis brotherhood didn’t care who you are if you are do something shameful.”

“You, let me go!” We all look at the door because of a loud shout. Paula was blocked by Carmona.

“Sir, I’m sorry, she insisted on entering.” I motioned for Carmona to go out. She just bowed and left immediately.

“I know that you are here.” Paula looked badly at Ley. “The thickness of your face. You destroy me!”

“Stupid, you ruined your life because of what you did to Ashley. You are worse than your sister. Better your sister admit her mistakes before she dies. Now, what, you will admit yours also when you are dying? History repeats itself?”

“No, because I’ll kill you first!” Paula took a gun and pointed it at Ley. “I’ll kill you!”

“Put your gun down, Paula,” Eugene tried to calm her but she held the gun tighter.

“I will kill you all. You ruined my life! ” Then she looked at me. “You, Asher, I gave you everything to you, I, I am by your side. I did everything for you but what did you do? You left me too just because of that woman!”

“My dear wife, that you broke. We will not be separated and we will not be destroyed if it were not because of you.” I saw the trembling of her hand as she gripped the gun tightly as she focused on me. “So don’t act like you are the loser because you are the root of it all. You even claimed that I am the father of your son from another man! ”

“I’ll kill you!”

“NO!” Ley quickly intercepted with the sound of a loud bang. It happened fast and the next is I saw was Eugene had already snatched the gun and they were both on the floor while Paula is bleeding. Ley slowly collapsed holding his chest so I supported her.

“Let me go!” Paula scream.

“Ley,”

“God, this is a shit, that girl is a shit. Am I going to die? ” she asked while laughing.

“No, you can’t, hold on.” I picked up Ley and I had nothing to say to Paula. Eugene was there and I’m sure he wouldn’t let her get away. I heard her scream in pain but I didn’t care about her.

“MOVE! MOVE! ” I shouted as I walked to the emergency room. “Ley?” But I can’t hear anything from her.

“What happened doctor Miller?” a doctor asked me.

“She had a gunshot, please save her.” I put Ley down on the operating bed.

“Doc, you’re out there first,”

“I will stay here,”

“Please, doc,”

I did nothing but follow. I have my own work protocols and I can’t disobey my own rules. The operating room is not my position.

While waiting outside I did not know what to do. I was walking back and forth and I didn’t know what to do. I heard a siren coming. I saw Paula in the Emergency room. Eugene’s approached the policemen and talk to them. After a minute the police go.

“I call Hunter and he’s on the way.” My hand trembled as it wiped my face. “Asher,” Eugene called to me.

“This is all my fault,”

“This is no one’s fault, Asher, don’t blame yourself,” Eugene try to calm me.

“This is all started because of me, I can’t forgive myself when something happens to Ley,”

“Hey, don’t say that, Ley is a strong woman. She will fight. ”

I could not hold back my tears. I was worried for Ley, for my friend. That bullet is supposed to be me.

“Where’s Ley?” Hunter is in rush.

“She’s inside the operating room,” Eugene answered.

“I’m sorry, Hunter,”

“No, it’s not your fault.” He tapped my shoulder. “When something bad happens to my wife, God forbid me but I will really kill that woman in my own hands. I meant it.”

“This is not the right time to think negative, and please we all know Ley is undefeated so that gun wounds is nothing if you know what I mean,”

“She saved me,” I said. “She blocked herself to protect me.”

“Paula is crazy, she just really gave us a reason to put her in jail,” Eugene said and looked at me.

No one spoke to us. Hunter and Eugene just sat calmly while waiting for the result. While I was there I no longer knew what to do. I feel guilty for what happened to Ley. I must be in her situation now. That bullet was for me but she saved me. I must be the one fighting in death.

The door of the emergency room opened and the doctor came out. Hunter and Eugene stood up quickly. I am still in my seat and I am afraid to approach. I never feel this kind of fear before aside from losing Ashley.

Hailey is like a sister to me. So I don’t know what I would do if something bad happened to her and it’s all because of me.

“Doc, how’s my wife?” Hunter ask.

“She’s out of danger,” the doctor replied. I feel relieved at what I heard. “We will transfer her now to her room.”

“Bring her to the executive room,” I said.

“Yes, doc,”

“See, I told you, Hailey is undefeated,” Eugene tapped my shoulder and so does Hunter.
