Her Ex-husband’s Wrath

I entered the room and greeted them but Agatha just raised an eyebrow at me. I saw the other one with her.

Paula Collins, Kyla’s half-sister.

“The boss came earlier than the PA,” Agatha whispered but didn’t look at me.

I ignored what she said, to think that I was even fifteen minutes ahead. He was just early today so he was ahead of me. I went straight to my table to check Asher’s schedule when I felt someone approach me.

When I looked up I saw Agatha standing in front of me.

“Why did you come back?” she asked slowly while looking sharply at me.

“Stop it, Agatha, she’s working.” Asher rebuked her.

“Are you on her side?” Agatha asked Asher.

“Why would I, she’s in my office and my PA and she’s working so bother her.” Then he kissed Paula who was now hugging him.

Do they have a relationship?

Agatha hit my desk then walked back to Asher’s desk.

“Have you heard it, Paula, Asher doesn’t care about her, now you’re ok?” Paula nodded then leaned his head on Asher’s shoulder. “Maybe we can leave now, Pau?” she added.

“I want to stay longer with you.” Then Paula hugged Asher so I immediately avoided looking when I saw them kissing. It hurts but I have no right. I have no right because I am the one who pushed him away. When they left, I started to work without taking to Asher.

“I will be in your unit tonight, just wait for me there,” Asher said.

“But I want you,”

“I want you more, but I am working.”

“Hey, as if Asher will go anywhere, goodness gracious Paula, Asher is already with you,” Agatha said while smiling. “Just wait for him so you can fuck him as long as you want.”

“Agatha,”

“Fine, I will wait for you outside.” Then Agatha goes out the door.

“Promise me, you will visit?” Paula said like a baby clinging to him.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“I am, I will,”

“Are you sure?”

“Yup,”

“Ok, I will go now.” Then he stood up and they kissed passionately before she goes. When Paule leaves Asher turned at me.

“How’s your wound?” I look at him immediately when asked me.

“It’s fine,” he did not answer and he continues what he is doing.

I WAS restless all day because today is Charles’s surgery. I’m waiting for nana’s call. I did my job well but I couldn’t help but be nervous about the outcome.

Hopefully, his operation is ok.

My phone beep and nana’s message came which I immediately opened.

(The operation is over and he is safe. But as long as his vital signs are not stable, there is still no assurance for him to be ok.)

I feel relieved, at least he survived the operation.

I continue my work. Asher and I did not talk the whole day.

5 PM, I was surprised with an unfamiliar number, appears on my screen. This is my personal number, and nana is the one who knew about this.

“Hello?”

(“Ashley?”) My heart pounding as if I can’t breathe but I managed to calm myself.

“Hunter?”

(“Yeah it’s me, I took your number from nana. Where are you and what are you doing?”) I did not answer him because I was shocked, by his call. (“Ashley, where did you stay?”) he asked.

“Hunter, amp, hold on,” I said and stand up and go to the bathroom, and locked the door. “Hunter,”

(“Where are you now?”) he asked.

“I live in a condo. I am here in Bulacan.”

(“What happened to you? Why did you leave Asher? A maid in a mansion said you talked with dad the day before he dies and you left again, why did you not wait for me? Where are you the whole time?”)

“Long story, but don’t worry, I’m ok,” I replied.

(“What happened Ashley, is there something wrong?”)

Hunter knows nothing of what happened to me and I don’t want to mess up with him. He starts to be happy after the tragic incidents that are happening to him. He started his new life with Hailey and they build a family.

All he knew was that I cheated on Asher so I left.

“No, I am ok, how are you?” I ask.

(“I’m good,”) he replied. (“You and Asher, have you meet?”) he asked me. I swallowed first before answering.

“I worked on him in his hospital.”

(“Working as?”)

“PA,” I replied.

(“PA?”) he asked with a little annoyance. (“Are you fucking kidding me?”)

“Hunter, I’m happy with my job.”

(“I don’t care, why as a PA?”) His voice rose a little.

“Because, that’s what I want, this is the least I can do to get close to him.”

(“So you’re doing this because of him?”)

“I’m happy with what I’m doing and I just want to win Asher’s heart again even as a friend first. You know I left him, don’t you?” A little silent.

(“Why as a PA? I still have a share in the hospital, and I can ask him to give you a nice job, a work that is capable of you and you will not get tired.”)

“I love this job because I’m closer to him. So, don’t worry about me.”

(“I doubt that, did Asher do something to you so you were put on being PA?”)

“Nah, of course not. Fine, to make you believe that Asher and I are ok, once you arrive we will meet you. I can’t promise when because he’s so busy right now. But promise, we will.”

(“If ever you need something, just tell me. I am still your brother, there’s Ley also, and you know she won’t leave you.”)

“I know,” I replied. “I need to go now, I have a lot of things to do. Take care, Hunter.”

(“You too, take care of yourself, see you soon,”) he said.

“Yeah,”

After I ended the call I stayed in the comfort room. I will think about how I can convince Asher to meet Hunter when he comes home. Besides, there’s nothing wrong if I will try to talk to him. Just for formality so Hunter will not get worried about me.

When I come out from the comfort room I saw Asher stand up and left without talking to me.

After I prepare my things I went to the hospital where Charles was confined. I’ll just take a moment just to see him. I just want to see him so that I can somehow ease my heart.

I looked around before entering the hospital to make sure no one had followed me. When I made sure that no one seemed to be following me, I went inside and goes to his ward.

“Nana,” I called.

Nana immediately noticed me who was currently fixing Charles’ belongings. He smiled at me and looked at Charles’ bed.

“The doctor just came out to check on him,” nana said.

I walked over to the bed where Charles was laying. I suddenly burst into tears when I saw how many devices were placed on my body.

“Charles.” I barely mentioned his name and held his hand. “You will fight right?” He slowly opened his eyes and when he saw me he smiled at me. “I love you.”
