After Divorce I Became A Zillionaire

Ava Dela Sanchez

I stood quietly in a corner as we await Nickolas’s private jet, actually Nickolas’s father insisted on sending us on our honeymoon. I know I should be excited, this has always been my dream to have a mind-blowing honeymoon with my childhood friend whom I have fallen in love with turns out he’s my betrothed, and now we are married. Much like a fairytale story, not all fairytales have a happy beginning. Our marriage is built on one-sided love and hatred, I don’t even know what the future has in store for us.

I haven’t recovered fully from the last scene. I woke up later to find myself in the hospital bed and when I asked the doctor, he said a good samaritan brought me here. I didn’t know who it was and to date, my parents didn’t know what happened. I know I’ve to be strong, I wanted this right?, so I must own up to it. I know it isn’t easy, loving someone so much even to the point that you’re willing to lay down your life for them yet! They pay less or no attention to it. That is one of the feelings that hurt the most. I’ve been telling myself Ava you can do this you wanted this now you have it. But no… this wasn’t how I planned it.

Looking back to our childhood, I should have known years have passed already, we’ve been away from each other and most of all we have all grown into different people. And seeing Nickolas treat me like nobody I can understand. He thought I took the love of his life away from him. But only if he knew who his girlfriend is, only if he knew she’s not who she places herself as, only if he knew.

I wrapped my arms around my shoulders as I felt cold and shiver, my body was burning but I ignored it, I endured it. It wasn’t long enough till our jet arrived, I walked out of the place I was as I saw our parents all lined up as they waited to bid us goodbye and a safe journey. I smiled as I stood at a distance and admired how Nickolas put up a smiling face, making all his character with a smile. I know everybody fell for it, but I saw how my mother was looking around for me.

I sigh as I puff out some air out of too much cold. I walk towards them and my mother rushes towards me in panic. She touched my forehead and gasped when she felt my fever. She pulled off her jacket and wore it on me immediately. I smiled and thanked her. But her gaze stiffened as she turned towards Nickolas ready to give him an earful but I held her hand and shook my head negatively. The others were busy discussing happily that they never noticed us. I look at my mom as tears roll down my eyes, and without anything further, I wrap my arms around her as she embraces him in her motherly arms. I buried my face in her chest feeling safe as she rubs my hair, she kissed my hair and whispered to my right ear.

“Dear it’s good to love someone but never you lose yourself in the process of loving that person, understood?”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“Yes….” I nodded nodding my head still in her embrace, I later pulled away from the hug and hug our parents separately before, having them the final goodbye, I watch as my mom gave me the look that says “remember all that I said” I nodded my head at her, and smile at everyone as we finally entered as the jet waited for them to live before it went off. I sat close to the window as I rested my head on the backseat. Thanks to the jacket mom gave me, I feel less cold.

I looked around for Nickolas but didn’t see him. I wanted to turn when I saw his gaze on the last roll as he was typing away from his phone, smiling and giggling. I sighed as I turned away from him. I brought out my earpiece and plug it in. As I played “ghost” by Justin Bieber, the song has the best Lyrics for my heart at the moment. I rest my head back on the seat and close my eyes as sleep took over.

I opened my eyes to the voice of the pilot saying our plane had successfully landed in New Caledonia. I smiled as I looked at the beautiful work of nature, “indeed it’s a beautiful place for couples but not like us” I thought sadly. I brought down our bags from the jet as I carried them while Nickolas walked out like he cared less. I staggered with the bags as I nearly fell but I managed to hold on tight till we reached our resort. We entered our reserved room as I packed our bags and walked straight to the bathroom. I pulled off my clothes and had a nice bath after which I wore my pajamas before coming out. Nicholas was on the bed looking smoky hot. Guess he made use of the other bathroom, his chest was bare as his tattoos came to sight. He was only in his shorts. I felt like drowning in the sight of him. He looked up towards me and our eyes came in contact. I shivered with the dreadful look on his face, he lit a cigarette and I gasped. “When did Nickolas start smoking?” I ask myself, I look away as his gaze becomes intense.

I walked towards my bag and pulled out a headache pill. I pulled out two tablets and down them with a glass of water. I sigh as I rub my head and walk towards the couch, I know he’s watching my every move but I cared less. I made to lay on the couch but a strong pair of hands pulled me up. I made to fall but he held me down, my headache intensified and I look up to see a dangerous Nickolas looking daring, I gulp down saliva nervously and muttered

“Please let me go, I’m not feeling well” I muttered, dreading his anger. I’m already down with a fever. He smirked and forcefully turned my back against him as he slammed my back to hit his manly chest.

I wince in pain, I felt his hot breath breathtaking into my neck, and I sucked in a sharp breath.

“We need to seal our honeymoon night, remember?” He said with a tone of mockery as he tore my nightly for the back like a wounded lion. I gasp and tried to cover myself, but he gave me no chance as he push me towards the bed, I fell on it as my head hit the bedsitter, I wince in pain as I bit my lower lip but he gave me no time to do that as he pushes me forward to himself like an animal. He spread my legs wide and tore my panties. Right now he’s like an animal.

“Please don’t…. do this” I whimpered quietly, but instead he smirks and licks his lips

“You should have thought that before you agreed to marry me” I wanted to talk but he positioned himself at my entrance, I gave him a pleading stare but without warning, he forcefully thrust into me.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!” I screamed as he finally broke down my walks.
