Her Ex-husband’s Wrath

“Ashley?” I looked at the man who called me who was inside the car. When I saw who it was, my tears flowed, even more. It was Eugene. “Fuck, why are you there and what are you doing in this place?” he asked then opened the door and immediately got out of the car and approached me.

“What happens, I thought you were with Asher earlier?” I didn’t answer his questions because I was still calming myself from the fear and nervousness I felt. So he sat next to me. “Ashley, are you okay?” he asked me again.

“There’s just a misunderstanding,” I replied then wiped away the tears.

“And he left you here?” He looked around. I didn’t answer again so I heard him sigh. “Alone, in the middle of the night with no one else with you to think that you are a woman,” he added.

Eugene let out a series of sighs while I remained silent until he broke the silence again.

“Ashley, nothing is stopping you from speaking.”

“Can you drop me home?” Instead of answering his questions I just asked him to take me to where I lived. I also have no plans to tell him anything. I just hope he will agree to drop me without asking me a lot of questions.

“Fine, I don’t want to interfere with anything and just pretend I didn’t see anything, let’s get in the car.” Then he helped me get up and get into the passenger seat.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“Thanks, Euge,” I said as he was able to sit in the driver’s seat as well.

“Where do you live now?” he asked so I gave him the address of where I was staying.

We didn’t get along the whole trip, but I notice that from time to time he looks at me. He wanted to ask but it seemed more like he just chose to keep quiet. I also saw him shooked his head every time he looks at me. As if something bothering him but he doesn’t have the courage to ask or he doesn’t want to ask.

It’s a good thing that Eugene came earlier because it looks like I’m about to lose my sanity and get insane because I’m so scared. A lot of scenarios flashbacks are on my mind and all of them are vividly just like it’s real. I can’t blame Asher for what he did because he didn’t know what I was going through. Besides, I was guilty because I kissed another man in front of him and I carved him on the flight so he got angry and left me.

“We’re here,” Eugene said then looked at the house where he dropped me. “Are you sure you live here?” he asked in surprise so I nodded. Not that I underestimate this house but compared to the mansion I grew up and in Clifford and I’s house. It can be said that I’m really far away from before so I also can’t blame Eugene if he’s surprised.

“Yeah! I can’t afford to stay at the condo,” I replied. “All right, gotta go and I want to rest as well, thanks anyway.” I was about to open the door when Eugene locked it so I looked at him. “Eugene,” I called his name. I wasn’t scared because I knew him but I just wondered why he did that.

“Are you okay?” he asked me while staring into my eyes.

“What do you mean?” I asked again but I averted my gaze.

“Why do you live here?”

“Because I want here,” I replied.

“Why not with Asher?”

“We’re not married anymore, I mean physically we’re not together.”

“Why not in your mansion?”

“After what I’ve done and put Lewis’s name in shame because of what I did to my ex, do you think they will accept me easily?” I heard her sigh.

“Does Hunter know about this, well I’m fuckin sure the answer is no? Because if yes he won’t allow you to live here, right?”

“Why, are you reporting me?” I asked him.

“Depends if you tell me everything.” I took a deep breath before speaking.

“If I will tell you everything, you will never see me again because I will never show up to all of you anymore,” I said seriously to him while staring into his eyes. “Don’t worry I am ok.”

“Is there anything I can do, I hope you visit and tell Hunter everything,” I just smiled holding him by the arm.

“I’ll tell him later,” I said.

“How about Ley, she knows?” I shook my head.

“Hunter is Ley’s wife, I am out of the picture. Not all the time I’m going to ask them for help. I want to live on my own, Eugene, so, please don’t tell Ley everything you saw, I’m begging you.” I know he’s not convinced and I know he’s not in favor of what I want to say. But I know that he will not lead me in my decisions.

“Fine, I will respect your decision even though I know that something is wrong with you and what you want to happen because you never used to be like that and the size when you changed. Anyway, do you want to live in Ley and I’s old house?” If I told Asher the truth it would be the same for him and Eugene. Maybe yes but he will be hurt.

“Thanks, Eugene, but I’m ok here. Thanks for the offer and thanks also for dropping me.” I refused his offer. “Just promised me that whatever you witnessed tonight would be for the two of us, that will help me a lot.”

“No worries, but if you need any help just call. I’m one call away.”

“Thank you.” I heard the click of the lock so I opened the door and immediately went down. I waited for Eugene to go and get away before I went inside.

But to my great surprise when I am inside the house I saw Asher sitting on the sofa while drinking wine and looking sharply at me.
