After Divorce I Became A Zillionaire

Ava Della Sanchez

I stood before the altar with Nickolas as we exchanged our wedding vows, my face beaming with a smile. After seeing Sherly at the restaurant back then. I kept it to myself but when Nickolas came pleading, I refused. I can’t allow him to be with someone who will destroy him. I know he doesn’t know this, but it’s better he hates me than ruining his future. Going down memory lane, I can’t help but shiver when he swore to make this marriage hell for me. But I know if he doesn’t love me, I know my love is enough for the both of us.

I don’t know what this marriage has in store for me, I felt shivers when he looked into my eyes then and made me that dreadful promise. It was like I just walked into my own hell. But what could I do?. I’m helplessly in love with him and besides he’s my betrothed, he has a girlfriend yes! But she ain’t what he thought. I never want to talk to him about it because he won’t give a damn or believe me, I’m just with the thought that everything will fall into place or its own. That’s was my only hope and prayer. To me, loving him was all I had thought from childhood till now. God gave me a chance to finally be with the man after my heart and I can’t lose that. I believe that the same God will make a way.

I don’t know what I’d do if he ends up turning to another person but I still promise myself to stay till he sees and starts loving me. This was a promise I made to myself. I also promised myself to help him regenerate his company but that will be on my own not like he would accept any of my help for the moment. I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the priest say the words ”You may now kiss your bride” My heartbeat accelerated, as I looked up to stare at Nicholas who kept an expressionless face. I sighed not being able to read what was on his mind. Time was ticking as everybody awaited for us to seal our matrimony with a kiss.

I felt my heartbeat reverberate, as my palms turns sweaty, I felt sweat trickle down from my forehead and thanks no one noticed, I look down on the floor as tears clouded my sight but I blink them back it’s not today, I raise my head to see Nickolas gazing at someone and when I trail his gaze, they landed on Sherly. I bit my cheeks as I saw a victory on her face, I sighed and looked away. I don’t know what’s going on. Time tickled and passed as the congregation waited for us to see our matrimony with a kiss.

I know that’s not happening, not when Sherly is seven feet away from him. I felt him cup my cheeks as I stare up in surprise but my hope shattered when I met an evil smirk on his face, he started leaning closer and the audience giggled as they all await the bonding, I stare into his deep blue eyes as he finally leans closer, his hot breath fan my face I couldn’t help it, he’s captured my heart back then and now, I melted helplessly into his touch, he knows what he’s doing he knows I love him to the moon and back and he’s using that against me now.

He brushes his nose against mine and I suck in a sharp breath. I watch him lick his lower lip and start to bring his lip down to mine. I close my eyes and clutch onto my flowers tightly like a second skin, but then, I felt his hot breath on my neck, and I shivered more, he whispered into my ear

“Just as you ruin me, I promise to ruin you beyond repair” Tears finally dropped from my eyes, as I opened them to see a satisfying taunting look on his eyes. I sighed and wiped my tears and made sure no one noticed.

The congregation started clapping for us and I sighed, and tried my best to put up a smiling face while Nickolas had an expressionless look.

Hours later, the wedding is finally over as we’re having our reception in one of the most exotic hotels, I was busy attending to visitors, greeting a lot on invites and also introducing myself as the new brides to the VIPS, my parents were full of smiles and I know they’re very happy, Nickolas’s parents were also smiling as they can’t stop adoring me. They have always been like that since we were kids. I already felt tired. I went to a quiet part of the place and sat down. I know this day should be my happiest day, but then… I feel like after today my life will change. I don’t know how. Whether it’s negative or positive, all I know is that I’d stay positive hoping for the best.

I made to stand up but I staggered back and fell on the seat. I sighed as I felt a pang of headache hit me. I held my head tight with both hands as I tried to ease the pain, but it became worse, so I decided to take enough rest. I started walking out of the reception. I met my mom who asked me where to. And I told her, I have a headache and needed rest, she asked Nickolas and I told her I haven’t seen him. She gave me a reassuring smile and kissed my forehead while I bade her goodnight.

It’s only my mum that knows about Nickolas’s behavior, she told me to quit when I feel I can’t take it anymore. She only supported me because of the love she saw I have for him, thinking about her question. Where could Nickolas really be? I sigh knowing I can’t answer that. I entered the elevator and closed it. I can’t help the bathing feeling clouding me, like something is about to happen but as usual, I shrug it off, giving no room for negativity.

The elevator opened as I stepped out and walked towards our room. I pulled the doorknob ready to turn it but I found out it’s open. I shrugged and entered the room but I froze on the spot. Right before me is Nickolas on top of Sherly as he bangs her while she moans his name constantly. I bang on the door as tears trickle from my eyes, Nickolas turned and look at me but he smirk and turn back to Sherly, as he continue to drill her, I couldn’t take that anymore my leg refused to move, my headache intensified, my sight became blur as my vision changes, I tried to fight it but I couldn’t and the next I saw was darkness.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
