After a face surgery, I revenge on my Ex-husband

Three days later, in the cold of the evening and with my hands in Harvis’s we walked into the grand and welcoming room filled with people of mighty timbers and calibers. The air in the room was sweet and cozy.

As we walked in, I took a sit where he sat me and then he sat next to me. As I sat there, the MC began introducing and calling the official and VIP guests.

One of which struck my attention was the president’s son who came in place of his father who was unavoidably absent.

As the party went on, the vibe escalated from cozy to party style. On the other hand, Harvis sat down taking gulps of drinks.

“Excuse me Harvis, can I have your attention for a moment?” A shrill voice asked and I looked up at the thick and blonde-skinned lady before me. Harvis exchanged glances at me and pinched my hands slightly, “I’ll be right back Ava,” he said and stood up from the seat and followed the lady.

About thirty minutes later, I looked at my wrist watch and he was not yet there. While I sat, I felt a hard voice resound, “Hello, I am Jayden Hanson,” he brought forward his hands in a handshake. Hesitatingly, I looked at his hands and brought my hands to his too in a shake.

“I’m Ava,” I responded as he squeezed my hands softly. He moved a step and took a seat where Harvis sat. “You look so beautiful,” he said adjusting the tie on his collar and looking at me with his deep blue eyes that caressed my skin like the waves.

“I Know,” I responded and took a sip of the wine before me. He raised his eyebrows as if in surprise, I looked around and saw that Harvis was nowhere to be found yet. “What do you want?” I asked and Harvis smiled. “Your beauty threw me down the lane once I saw you. You came with anyone?” He asked his eyes boring into mine.

“Yes, I did. My boyfriend Harvis,” I said in my head but what escaped from my mouth was, “No, is there any problem?”

With a questioning look, I stood up, “Look I want to go get something, I’m not sure of when I’ll return but I’ll be back.”

“That’s okay, I’ll wait here for you,” Jayden said and I walked out of his sight in search of Harvis. As I got out of the hall, I went outside and my eyes scanned around. Also, there were several attempts by some men to talk to me but I shoved them off.

Finally, my eyes gummed at where Harvis was, he was drinking and laughing profusely. With some men and the lady who went out with him sitting by his side. From what I saw, it seemed like he was drunk already so I turned my back and went back inside.

On getting there, Jayden was still sitting waiting for me. “You are back?” He exclaimed with a smile on his face and I smiled back without a word to him. “I’ll just go straight to the point, I want you to be my girlfriend.”

“Just like that?” I screamed in annoyance in my head.

“Excuse you? You just met me and you want me to be your girlfriend? Look just leave this place. What do I look like to you?” I responded, my voice calm and I gave a hard glare as I spoke.

“I don’t mean no harm, besides, I felt a. strong connection to you. It’s not like you are going to be my girlfriend for real, I just want you to play a role for my father and that’s just it,” he said in a hushed tone.

“Why? Ain’t there millions of girls around you to pick?” I glared at him. The conversation was getting annoying already and it was easier for me to get up and leave but for some reason unknown I sat back.

“Six billion girls in the world but I pick you to be my girlfriend ’cause you are special,” he rebutted and I threw my head in another direction.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“You have nothing to say, it’s just a role, right? How long am I meant to act and by the way I don’t think my work schedule can allow that,” I replied.

“I’ll triple the pay, honey. Just act as my girlfriend and soon-to-be fiance and I get what I want,” his face dead serious. “Okay… but how long?”

“About a year or so. You might have to move in with me too, or visit four times a week.” He said and shook the glass of wine slightly while staring at me.

Without much thought I smirked, “That’s not going to be possible” and my eyes looked around to observe if Harvis was coming any closer. “What do you want? Name it. By the way, that’s why I agreed to come here so I could get a lady to act as my girlfriend.” He muttered shamelessly.

“Okay let’s get into it, how much is my pay? What’s in for me? What’s my role? Do’s and Don’t. Spill,” I folded my hands and gave him a dead stare.

Jayden broke down everything that was going to happen and we struck the deal. He ordered his men to bring the document from his car. With the document before me, I signed and he shook hands with me. We exchanged contacts and he stood up, he stretched his hands towards mine.

“Come with me,” he said his tone commanding. I followed him out, and we passed the table where Harvis sat but he didn’t notice me because he and his partners were already tipsy from the alcohol.

We walked into another corner of the hall, where only a few people were there. At that place, we spoke for some time and I got tired then I lied to Jayden and left the place.

Without going to check on Harvis, I went back to a hotel that I booked.

The following day at work, Harvis called me to his office. Walking to his office, I opened his door and got Into his car. “Take a seat,” he said.

I watched his eyes which were red from the previous night’s drink. It was shocking that he didn’t have a hangover. “I’m sorry I left you that way yesterday, I was lost in the conversation and one thing led to another and I got drunk. I’m so sorry honey, j tried calling and you weren’t responding, I was so scared, don’t be mad at me please.”

My mouth kept mute, with a straight face. He spoke again as the answer he was expecting wasn’t there. “Are you mad at me?” He asked keeping a puppy eye.

“Nope, I’m actually okay.”

My phone pinged after I replied to Harvis. “LET’S MEET THIS EVENING BY FIVE. MY DAD WANTS TO MEET THE SHE WHO STOLE MY HEART,” the message read and it was from Jayden.

At the same time, Harvis said, “Can we go out this evening? I want to take you out.”

“No I decline, I want to have my rest,” I responded with a cold face. “That’s okay… I’ll leave you to yourself. If you need anything at all just call me.”

I smiled at his statement. After work, I went back home, as I got back home, on opening the door I saw Lilac and her friend on the couch. My mouth dropped ajar and they both turned their heads to me. Surprise flashed on Lilac’s face. It seemed like she was more shocked to see me but she wasn’t shocked as I was.

Seeing Lilac with her friend Kayla kissing with passion and almost half naked took me off guard. “Oops I’m sorry,” I muttered, and quickly walked away to my room.

“Lilac is gay? That’s her business tho. So heartbreaks made her run away from men or she is just naturally gay?” Thoughts rambled in my head as I kept my bag on the table and slipped out by how from my shoulder.

I sank on the bed, “I’m tired of staying here! I can’t wait to see my children so badly! I feel so empty!” I let out, as a sudden wave of emotion engulfed me.

Unknowingly a tear dropped down my head as I rested my head on the pillow. I didn’t know when j fell asleep but I was awoken by Lilac who tapped gently on me.

I opened my droopy eyes and she said, “Your CEO sent you something.” I turned on the bed and stretched as if I didn’t hear her. What I needed was just more sleep.

“Ava, can you hear me?” She increased her voice and tapped gently on me. “Damn!” I cursed under my breath and stood up from the bed. “Come outside, he sent his men to you,” Lilac repeated.

As I went out to the living room, I saw no one there but followed Lilac behind. Lilac opened the door to show two bodily-guarded men standing outside the door.

“Mrs. Ava, our boss sends this to you,” they hand over a cake to me and a rose flower. The other man added, “He said he is unavoidably absent.”

I took the cake and flower from their hands, they both turned to leave but halted and turned back to me again, “There’s a car key in the cake, and that over there is yours.

Lilac exchanged glances at me and the men turned their backs to leave while I showed no form of excitement towards the gifts.

My eyes met the Porsche that was packed at the corner and I twitched my lips into a smile then I got back into the house.

“Ava, damn! I am jealous of you right now, that’s so cute. I mean, you really made him fall in love with you,” Lilac exclaimed in surprise and dragged me to sit with her.

“That’s little, I took half of his shares… and the one where I work too. It’s just nothing,” I spoke unbothered. “Wow.. have you guys had sex yet?” Lilac asked.

“Must everything always stem down to sex?” I questioned folding my hands and narrowing my eyes. Lilac mimicked and then I snapped, “How about the girl of yesterday, don’t tell me you guys were secretly dating behind her boyfriend’s back!’

With her voice calm and a smile spread across her face, she replied, “No no, we are not. We were not. It just happened yesterday unplanned.”

I gave her a questioning look, and then I spoke up, ” Um… I think I am in two hooks and I think I need your advice. I met with the president’s son yesterday while at the party with Harvis who wasn’t present with me at the moment, and I signed a deal with him.”

With a scream, Lilac asked, “What deal?”

“A deal to be his girlfriend!” I averted my eyes from Lilac who stood up with a scream, the shock in her face made me start to giggle.

“What about Harvis?” She asked.

“Let’s forget about Harvis for now. We’ll be coming this evening. It’s just so… I don’t know, crazy, I must say. ” I stood up and with my hands on my waist I screamed. “I am so tired!!!”

It’s almost five already and I rubbed the lipgloss on my lips and Lilac lined my hair softly and said, “You look so pretty!!”

“One billionth time and I’m tired of hearing that but thank you. You too are beautiful!”

My phone pinged, “WHERE DO YOU LIVE, I’LL COME PICK YOU UP NOW.”

I replied back to Jayden and I said to Lilac, “He’s going to be coming here soon. I feel scared because he is going to be taking me to see his father and I may have to live with them too, if the father demands I do. What about my job and what about Harvis?”
