Her Ex-husband’s Wrath

=ASHLEY’s POV=

“Do you need something?” Ley asked when we reached her car in the parking lot.

“Prayers,” I simply replied.

“Not that, we both don’t have that, it’s just useless because it won’t be accepted in heaven, anything, for Charles?”

“As of now, nothing, I’ve paid everything,”

“Because you owe Asher?” I nodded in response. “Why didn’t you call me?”

“I don’t want to disturb you, then that’s the only way I know so Asher can manipulate me.”

“Crazy,” she said then got into the car. “What does he know about Charles?”

“Something like my lover,”

“That’s even crazier?” Then she starts the engine. “And he believes?

“I guess,”

“Then he is the craziest, anyway, Eugene, brought me to the house where you live. Are you really living there?”

“Yeah,”

“You can move over to Eugene and I’s house before,”

“I can’t,” she frowned at my answer.

“Why, are you still going to reject me? You’re rejecting me a lot huh?”

“Asher knows where I live, he has a key there and he visits me there all of a sudden,”

“To hurt?”

“And to ease his lust,”

“Motherfucker, I think it’s Hunter’s karma what’s happening to you,”

“Hey, Hunter has nothing to do with this,”

“I know, why, did I say there is? What I’m saying is karma, I’m not saying it’s his fault. Why does karma choose to hit someone to hurt someone? Hunter’s karma is you because of what he did to me. Well, I forgive him, but unfair to human life if he hasn’t know what’s the feeling of being hurt. Even if he was hurt by what Kyla did, he will be more hurt because we know how much he loves you, more than anyone.”

“You wouldn’t tell him, would you?”

“Not yet, because I’m a conscientious objector, just be careful he doesn’t find out and maybe I will kill you and Asher.”

“Ley,” I called to her then held her hand. “Thank you huh?”

“Drama, are you sure you want to stay here?” I just nodded as an answer. “Fine, I’ll keep in touch with you now and then, Eugene and I have already talked, we are trying to find that asshole Kranky, there is already leads, so don’t worry,”

“Is it important?”

“If you have nothing to say, I need to go, I will go for the twin cause Eugene and Ulysses were there. Fuck, maybe they will teach something stupidities for my babies.” I laughed at what she said.

“Take care, Ley, I’ll visit my nephews soon,”

“You should, and take care also.”

When she left I adjusted myself first before going inside.

I go direct to the office when I met Carmona.

“What happened?” she asked with astonishment. “When you came out earlier, our boss went crazy inside. Then her mistress was crying and came out and was followed by our boss’s sister. What happened?”

“There is a misunderstanding,” I answered simply.

“Why are you involved?” she asked again.

“Because I am inside.” He just nods, and I think he is convinced.

“Anyway, everyone who became Sir’s secretary was being teased by that woman. I guess I’m the only one who wasn’t. So I won’t be surprised if she got jealous of you. Because you’re beautiful and sexy. But it’s serious now cause our boss went crazy. Maybe that woman didn’t work for Ma’am Hailey, and Sir didn’t know what to do. Ma’am Ley is serious, the intimidation has not faded. She’s been my idol since elementary days.”This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Maybe Carmona is Ley’s schoolmate. 

“Do you know ma’am Hailey?”

“Huh?”

“You followed her, so I thought you know her personally,”

“Ah, she didn’t just ask about them, sorry it’s confidential,”

“Ah, ok, no problem.”

“Is our boss still inside?” I ask.

“Yes, he left earlier but he also came back right away and started sulking.”

“All right, I’ll just come in and just talk to him,” I said goodbye to Carmona.

“Ok, I will go then. I’ve already given to boss everything you need for Laydos, just double-check it.” 

“I will, thanks,”

I took a deep breath before entering the office. I was surprised to see Asher’s belongings scattered on the floor. He leaned over the table but did not move when I entered.

“Ash. I’m sorry about my sister-in-law’s behavior earlier. I talked to her already. It won’t happen again.” I was nervous about explaining to him because I was afraid of what he could do.

“It’s past five. You can go home,” he replied gently without looking up and ignored my apology, and didn’t care about my presence.

“You have a meeting with Laydos, Ash. I’ll double-check the document first and discuss with you —-”

“I can handle,” he interrupted me. “Go home.” I did not answer. Instead, I picked up the scattered belongings on the floor.

“Janitors will do that job, it is not your job, go home Miss Lorenzo.” I didn’t know what to say. I was afraid he might get mad at me if I didn’t obey him. But I also wanted to talk to him because of what had happened.

“Asher, can we talk,” I said softly.

“You need to rest, please go home, I insist,” he replied without still looking up.

I did nothing but follow. I was afraid of being hurt like what happened last night. I just took my bag and then looked at him again without looking up at me.

“Good luck at the meeting,” I said before leaving.

“Thank you.”

I shuddered as I walked out the door. Not out of fear that he might hurt me like he did last night. But out of fear because of his kindness.

What if because of what Ley said his mind opened of what happened?

What if he investigates?

What will I do when he finds out the truth?

What if he follows me and he discovers everything?

I can’t admit it because I’ll just mess up his brain and hurt him. I have endured the pain and I am ready to endure forever as long as he does not know what really happened to me.

I just want forgiveness for leaving him and acceptance as his friend. Nothing else. To make him happy.
