Her Ex-husband’s Wrath

Ley set on the table while facing Asher.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“I still love Hunter, so I asked myself again, and accepted him back. Now we’re both happy with our twins. But you, you didn’t find out the truth. Hunter is better than you because he knows how to admit wrong and know the truth even though he knows he will be hurt.”

“Stop it, Ley, because you know nothing. Especially for what I’ve been through when she left me,” Asher says while gritting his teeth. “She cheated on me and she went with the other. She hurt me repeatedly.” But Ley only smiles at him.

“First, don’t tell me what I am going to say. Second, I will say everything I want to say. Third, funny, honestly, you won’t lose Ashley if you follow her and look for her. If you know what really happened to her and why she left. You are supposedly happy today. A family, because I know you can still accept her despite everything. There is no mistress here clinging at you.” Then she looks at Paula.

“She chose to leave so why should I chase her? I will still accept her if she chose to come back to me. Even if she leaves with other men and who else is with her, I will still accept her. But she comes back and chose to works for me then be my wife again.” I look at Asher because of what he said.

Is he serious? If I come back as his wife will he still accept me? But what about Charles?

Ley suddenly laughed, laughing annoyingly.

“Do you hear it, Paula? If Ashley returned as a wife to Asher. He will still accept her even if she hurt him. That means if Ashley chooses to come back. You’ll be excluded because you’re just an option.” Then her laughter got louder.

“Asher,” Paula called as she stared at me, pain, and hatred is in her eyes.

“What now, Ashley, you still have a choice if you like,” Hailey called to me. They’re all looking at me and waiting for an answer but I shook my head.

“Charles is my priority and you know that Ley,” I said tearfully.

“I see, even if I am Ashley, I won’t let Charles meet my ex-husband. If he can hurt me what more him, he can do the same. Besides, for what else? If he can’t stand on his own and can’t find out the truth,”

“Why are you here, what do you need?” Ley laughed at Asher’s question.

“I’m here because I’m taking back Ashley. Pack your things, Ash, because you’re coming with me.”

“You can’t bring her. She’s my PA.” Asher refused. “She has a contract with me and has a debt to pay. She will break her contract into the agency when he leaves.”

“Agency?” Ley asked then the laughter got louder and stop while looks at him seriously. “She doesn’t need that. It’s just props if her life. I can afford to close it. Debt? Price it, one million, five million, ten million. I’ll double it, no, I’ll make it triple. How much?” Ley asked Asher who couldn’t answer.

“Ley, can we talk, please? In private.” I approached her then held his hand. She raised an eyebrow at me then made an angry face then faced Asher again.

“I am waiting Asher, how much and I will pay you just let her go.” But Asher did not answer her instead he looks at me.

“Please, Ley, I’m begging you. Let’s talk just the two of us,” I pleaded while holding her hand.

“Fine,” she replied then looked at Asher. “Don’t forget that the woman you claim you’re PA is my husband’s sister. My sister-in-law and my husband and I have a large share of this hospital as your investors. I don’t want to be immature and drag our personal issues into business. But when my husband found out, I sided with him. You know that Asher, you know how much I value Hunter and how much I love my husband. Lastly, don’t forget that Ashley is still your wife.” Then she get down on the table and walked. I followed her but she also immediately stopped.

“I can’t forget my gratitude to you. But I also won’t allow you to step in someone that can fight you back. The three of you healed me, didn’t you? You brought me back to what I am so you can face the real me. Deal it or not, well, I don’t care. Because for sure, you will thank me after —–” she paused then she faced again.

“—- when you find out the truth. Because just now I already know what will happen next. You will repent for what you have done. What kind of pain did you go through when she left. You will feel triple or more when you find out the reason for her departure,” she said then turned away.

“Ley, stop,” I called.

“Hurry up, Ashley, I’ll be waiting for you in the conference room.” She go out and slammed the door shut loudly.

“I will follow her for a minute,” Asking for Asher’s permission but he did not reply.

“Ashley,” Agatha called to me. I just stopped but didn’t look back at her. “What really happen to you?” I shook my head but did not face. I don’t want them to say my reaction.

“Charles is the real reason, he’s the reason why I leave your brother.”

“No, Hailey can’t say those things if she’s not holding anything.” This is really what I’m scared of. That they can find a hole to investigate. I turned to them and fix myself so they can’t see something unusual with me. They shouldn’t know the truth, especially Asher.

“Don’t pay any attention to Ley because I only have her sympathy. She loves my brother so she will say or do anything in favor of me. What she said doesn’t mean anything. Please, don’t believe her if you don’t want to waste time and effort for nonsense.”

“Then what is the truth?” Agatha asked again. I saw Asher look at me as if he is waiting for my answer while Paula looks badly at him.

“The truth?” I asked then looked at Asher. “The truth is I love Charles more than anyone.” No one reacted. “Charles was the reason why I left, and he’s the only one I choose over anyone, not even for my husband. Excuse me I’ll just follow Hailey.”

I will face the consequences later. What Asher will do to punish I will accept it wide arms open.
