Her Ex-husband’s Wrath

Hailey is still sleeping. Agatha and Eugene have also left because Ashley and Ley’s children need to be together since Hera and William left. Hunter just stared at Hailey as he caressed his wife’s face.

“One thing I regret is that I believed Kyla back then. I know the first time I saw Ley she is special and I admit that I like her. But I was blinded by Kyla’s sweet lies and chose to believe her rather than look at Ley’s goodness.” Then he looked at me. “And the same shit repeated to my sister.”

“I’m sorry if I didn’t protect her,” I apologized.

“I want to be angry with you, but I can’t because like me we are both blinded by lies so we hurt our loved ones,” he said then stroked Ley’s face again. “We have to be thankful, despite what happens and what we did, they still chose us. They still love us, and they chose to come back with us. Because they still love us.”

I looked up to hold back my tears. I also saw him do that.

“I love my wife, and I bet how I love my wife is the same as how you love my sister.”

“I am, the first and the last, Hunter, unchanged and will not change.”

“Thanks for loving her,”

We both smiled when a nurse suddenly entered.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Doc, Miss Paula Collins, she hostage one nurse using a scalpel.”

“What?” We both stand by what the nurse said.

“She said she wants to go to the bathroom and when they released her, she grabbed the nurse and it happened.”

“Did she run away?” Hunter asked calmly.

“She’s on the rooftop, she wants to talk to doctor Miller.” I looked at Hunter and he looked at me as well.

“Can you stay with my wife, I’ll just accompany my brother-in-law,” Hunter asks the nurse.

“No problem.” The nurse shaking.

Hunter and I nodded and headed to the rooftop. While in the elevator I smiled. If she commits suicide, it’s ok, but I hope she doesn’t involve my employee. She can jump or stabs herself with the scalpel. Her life has no value so if she commits suicide no one cares.

When we reached the rooftop we caught up with Paula who was standing on the edge while looking down. She is alone and I saw a nurse with another nurse accompany her. There is a small amount of blood flowing in the neck. She may be the hostage.

The two policemen guarding her ward were also here and I could hear a siren below.

“I want to talk to Asher Miller!” she shouted.

“Miss Paula Collins, come down,” a policeman begged.

“I’m not coming down here, I need Asher!”

“I am Asher Miller the owner of the hospital, I will talk to her,” I said then showed up to them.

“Be careful sir,” a policeman warned.

“Be careful,” Hunter reminded me.

“Asher?” I didn’t give her any emotion. Good thing the cops were behind me and they couldn’t see my face and they were also quite far away so they couldn’t hear what we were talking about. “You came?”

“What the hell is this Paula?”

“I don’t want you to get mad at me.” She says while crying. “I’m hurting, Asher,”

“What are you going to do now? Paula, even if you jump in there, I won’t be nice to you.” I may be a bad person now but I really just want to push her. But I still prefer to imprison her to suffer for what she did.

“Did you love me or did you try to love me?” I smiled at her question.

“I didn’t love you, I just used you to forget Ashley and to be jealous when she came back.”

“Ash, haven’t I been important to you even a single? even for a moment?” She cries. I let out a deep sigh. I don’t want her to be happy but I also don’t want to be unfair.

“I did, I learned to appreciate you and I tried to love you. I had fun with you and somehow I forgot the pain when you were there. And I thought we had the same feelings. But you fooled me, Paula, you played me. What I showed and made you felt was true and from my heart, but you —- you manipulated me. ”

“I am sorry,”

“The damage has been done. You just didn’t hurt me with your deception. You also hurt me because you hurt the woman I love. You even included my friend, Hailey.”

“Why her, Ash? Why did you love her, why not me?” She was already crying.

“Don’t ask something without an answer. Also, don’t question my love for my wife. ”

“Because I love you. For the first time, I saw you even though I knew you were getting married, I already loved you. I don’t know but I’m crazy to think that you’re not with me, that you’re not mine. Ash, I’m crazy about loving you.”

“Then, get down there and go to the mental hospital.”

“Asher, can’t you forgive me?”

“No!” She straightened up and wiped away the tears. She straightened her hair then smiled.

“In that case, I will bring in hell your anger towards me and my love for you. I love you and tell Ashley and Hailey that I apologize to them. I hope when I live again, you will be with me, Asher, I hope we have a chance.”

“If I die and live again, Paula, I will ask only one thing. I hope Ashley is still my wife. Whether here or in wherever World we are in.”

“She is lucky because you love her so much. Goodbye, Asher.”

I didn’t move from where I was standing when Paula jumped. You’re lucky when you are still alive after you jump to the 22nd floor.

“Ms. Collins!” the police shouted and quickly approached then looked out.

“Mr. Miller,” a policeman called me.

“I am sorry, I didn’t convince her, I thought she was coming down because I said we were ok and forgive each other.” The police tapped my shoulder and so did Hunter but he simply whispered.

“It is?” I smirked then looked at him.

“And do you believe?” I whispered the looked at the body down.

If people will think I feel guilty for what she did, then, no. I used to have one-on-one talks with criminals before I killed them. I used to stare into their eyes before pulling the trigger that ended their lives.

And criminals did not deserve to live. Especially if like Paula who is selfish.

She chose to mess with me, she chose to hurt me, she chose to manipulate me, she chose to kill herself so I am not at blame. She only finished what she started. I’m not satisfied because I want her to suffer but at least she’s out of our way and in our lives.

“Let’s go,” Hunter tapped my shoulder and I followed him way back to Hailey’s room.
