Chapter 0119
NICK
“Don’t you even think about it!” Ethan bellowed next to me he might have seen my fists and thought I would go crazy again and punch the elevator doors this time. But that was not the case, I was angry seeing her wearing his ring, but I decided not to do anything. It hurt so badly that was numb.
I didn’t know what to do, all I wanted was to get home and drink myself to a stupor. “I was not going to do anything.” Ethan gave me a sceptical look, his hands that were in his pockets were now out and hanging on his sides. He was ready for anything, if only he knew that the only stupid thing, I wanted to do was to drink myself to death.
Elevator doors opened revealing my mother. She looked shocked to see me but said nothing moving to the side for us to enter. We silently entered and stood there. “What happened to your hand?” I glanced at it, but said nothing. looking forward and waiting for the elevator doors to open so I could get the hell out of there.
As if it heard me, it opened, and I stepped out hearing Ethan say as I walked away. “He was fighting with a wall.” I didn’t turn, I continued walking. It was like I was having an out of body experience. Like my body was not mine as I walked. Getting outside, Ethan’s driver was standing there.
I headed to the car and hopped in looking out the window. Mother and Ethan soon joined me. but I didn’t look in their direction. I wished I could dig into the confines of my chest where my heart was and rip it right out. Stick my hand out of that car window and let some air sooth it.
It hurt so much that my chest burned. People think stab wounds and bullet wounds were painful. But those had never been in love. Hell, I was stabbed and had two heart attacks but none of that pain compared to the pain I was feeling at the moment. ‘Sandra, I curse the day you came into my life. If it weren’t for you, I would still have my wife.‘
I cursed the bitch in my head. “I prepared your favourite; you should come to the house with me so we can enjoy dinner together. It’s been a while since we did that, before your father died.” She was trying to manipulate me into going home with her. if it were any other time, I would have gone but not this time.
This time I just wanted to drink, I wanted to forget, to feel numb and not think. “It’s not good for you to be alone at this time Nick, the house is big, you should come back and live home with me.” I still said nothing. “Ethan, tell your driver to take us to my place.” I turned right at that time and glared at her.
She never did know how to take no for an answer. She pushed and pushed until she got what she wanted. Well, not this time. I was not in the mood for her tricks. Ethan kept his mouth shut; he knew very well what my plan was when I got home. It was the same thing I did when my mother told me to marry Oliv
A woman I knew nothing about, I wanted to choose my own wife. But the woman was determined, she even threaten me and manipulated me with tears until I gave in, that day, I asked Ethan to join me at the club and drank until I passed out. I didn’t remember much about that night
But I remember the next morning like it was yesterday. She woke me up with banging on my door and dragged me to go meet Olivia. My head was so heavy, and it hurt. I had the biggest hangover, and I wanted to meet her and be done with it.
But then I saw her. I had just taken a sip of my coffee, and I was about to place the cup down. When I looked up, the most beautiful woman I had ever laid my eyes on was coming our way. She was not wearing anything fancy, just a yellow sundress, sandals and carried a small handbag. She had sunglasses on, and I couldn’t see her eyes.
But damnit, I wanted her. I didn’t care about the Olivia my mother dragged me to go meet. I was already planning on getting up and following her, but then she came and stopped at our table. She gave my mother a smile and I was blown away.
