After Divorce I Became A Zillionaire

Ava Della Sanchez

“What’s the meaning of this?” I ask looking at Nickolaus but instead, he ignored me and acted like I don’t exist, I walk towards them and made to pull Sherly who sat on Nickolaus’s lap showering his face with kisses.

“Lay a hand on her, and I will forget I once know you and damn the consequences” Nickolaus spoke with eyes bloodshot as he stares at me, I halted on my steps and look at Nickolaus who looked like he can devour me anytime soon. I turn my gaze to Sherly to see her smirking evilly. I took a deep breath, calmly I walk to the back and take my seat.

The sound of their kisses could be heard from the back where I’m sitting, I know what they are doing they are trying to get to me but I won’t allow them to.. especially Sherly, I won’t give her the satisfaction of seeing me cry. I turn away from them as Nickolaus grabs her hip, running his hand up and down her ass. At this point I know I could not take it anymore.

I brought out my earpiece as I plug them into my ear, relaxing my back on the seat, I closed my eyes allowing myself to be distracted, but no it seems impossible like I’m asking for the impossibility. I tried to sleep and tell myself it’s just a matter of time. I only found out I can’t control the way my heart feels, it’s just like the more I fight it, the stronger it gets.

It’s like I can’t run away, knowing that my husband is with another woman right before me and I can’t do anything about it.

I wanted so much to walk towards them and pull Sherly away from him but I know that was impossible, I was tired of pretending to be asleep, so I opened my eyes but was surprised when I saw Sherly sleeping on his chest. I sighed and looked away.

The rest of the journey went by smoothly, we landed at the airport, our guards were there to take us home in our car, we slid in after I carried our language to the trunk through one of the guards helped me out.

We slid in, and I look through the window, enjoying the cool breeze of New York City, well if you must think about Sherly one of her drivers picked her up at the Airport so right now it’s just me and Nickolaus. Arriving back home, I promise myself do anything in my power to get Nickolaus to love me, I don’t know how I might do it, but I promise myself not to give up.

I unpack our things while Nickolaus is in the bedroom, I think he’s talking business on the laptop, we only have a nanny whom mum insisted on getting us, Ma prekka,

“How was your journey, my dear?” She asks walking towards me,

“Awesome, and you?” I smell at her,

“Good, what would you like for dinner?” She asks

“Lasagna is okay” I wink at her making her blush

“On it, dear, say hello to Nickolaus”

“I will” I muttered as I watch her disappear to the kitchen direction.

I sighed only if she knew that Nickolaus wouldn’t listen to me, actually, she resumed today so that’s why she didn’t know how Nickolaus threatened me yet. I was tired after the long flight I think my body system needed some rest.

I walk into the bathroom and deep myself into the jacuzzi, I closed my eyes embracing the warmth of the water, I don’t know for how long but by the time I came out of the bathroom Nickolaus is not in the room. I dried my body, and walk towards the closet, by now night has started to settle in. I wore a loose-fitting nightie, walking out of the room, I just finished talking to my mom and dad telling them our flight arrived safely, Kelvin my brother also called, I wonder when that brother of mine will settle down

I sighted Nickolaus on the balcony, my mind went back to when I saw him smoking on our honeymoon. Could he be hungry? I don’t want him angry at me, I walk to the pitch to see ma Prekka is almost done with the food, I help her to serve the food at the dining before walking out to call Nickolaus, he’s on a call not knowing how to go about it, I stood at a distance not to act disrespectfully. I waited till he finished his call before I approached him.

“What?” He asks glaring at me

“Dinner is ready,” I said gesturing at the dining with my hand.

“Can you stop being a bitch can’t you see I hate you!, Ava Della Sanchez, I hate your existence! I hate the ground you walk on! The air you breathe in…. why don’t you just die!!!” He screamed at me and stormed off, not caring about my feelings.

I held onto the railings, I can’t take this what have I done? Is it a crime to love him?… I wipe my emotions getting the better of me, I continue crying till I couldn’t cry anymore, I was about to stand up when I felt a warm arm patting my back. I turned slowly to see ma Prekka looking at me tenderly

“It’s okay my dear” She cooled and embraced me, I hugged her to myself, crying out my whole heart. I don’t know for how many minutes I stayed in her warm and motherly embrace but by the time we disengaged, my tears have all dried up.

“Thanks so much, ma”

“It’s nothing dear, I understand,” She said patting my back, I made to go back to our room but she shake her head at me negatively

“You need to eat”

“But….”

“Shhhh…..” She cut me off.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“No matter what you’re going through, you can’t keep yourself starving”

“Alright” I smile as we walk to the dining, I sat down and eat a few spoons before standing up, I thank her for the dinner and made my way back to our room.

I met Nickolaus walking back and forth in the room with a parcel and immediately I walked in, he walk towards me, making me halt on my step

“Sign this ” He muttered

I took the parcel and open it only to meet the shock of my life
