Her Ex-husband’s Wrath

“I knew it’s you, when did you come back and where have you been?” he asked me so I just smiled.

“You’re asking too much, anyway, I just come recently but not to the mansion, you know, it’s hard to face Hunter especially after what happened to Asher and me, I don’t want to talk and for sure he will ask a lot of questions.” He just nods. “How are you, where’s Ulysses?”

“I just arrived from Canada and I’m okay. Ulysses is with Ley in the US so I just made the most of it alone because for sure when he comes back I won’t be free again.”

Eugene and Ley are still ok, even though they are still separated they are still friends. Ley, despite a lot of going through, remained steadfast.

“I missed Ulysses anyway, we haven’t seen each other in a long time.”

“So you and Hunter haven’t met yet after he is free from jail?”

“Not yet, when did he come out?” I will ask.

“A month or a two I guess. I pushed his bill. It seems that he is happy inside and has no plans to go out. So, Ley and he can get together and get married formally.”

“Really, thanks for the help,” I said.

“It’s a small thing, they’re happy so I’m happy too and we should all be happy,” he said while laughing. “Anyway, why are you here?” he asked.

“Ow just getting fresh air. I don’t want to be inside because I’m a little unfamiliar with the guest. I’m with Asher by the way,” I replied.

“Your husband?” He asked in surprise so I nod. “You two are ok?”

“We’re friends, I work with him as a PA.” I didn’t directly answer the question so I saw the doubt on his face.

“P. A? you mean you are working?”

“Yeah,”

“Wait, does Ley knows? Hunter knows?” I shook my head.

“You wouldn’t tell anyone, would you?” he sighed then looked down and then looked up again and stared at me.

“Ashley are you ok?”

“Am I,”

“Why you girls are very complicated and you really hard to deal with. You like to hide secrets and in the end, we boys become bad.” Then he paused before continued. “Is there a problem? can I help you?” he added.

“Nah! Nothing.”

“Are you sure?” He asked hesitantly.

“Yes, all you can do to help me is with is don’t tell Ley and Hunter that you saw of me today. Here, with Asher.” I knew he was not convinced by what I said but he did nothing but agree.

“Ok, I won’t tell Ley. But if you have a problem, don’t hesitate to ask for help, we’re not a friend, we’re Family.” I smiled at him.

“Thanks, Eugene.”

“No worries, I’ll go inside so I can catch a lot of drinks, wanna come with me?”

“Nah, I’m good here.” He just nodded at me and walked away.

As I watched Eugene enter the Red Sea I couldn’t help but think of what had happened to them and Ley. They are still good because despite what happened to them, Eugene still accepted everything. He accepts Ulysses as his son and Ley as friends. Even though they separated and Ley remarried my brother inside the jail he was there and stand as a witness.

I hope Asher and I are the same. I hope we can be friends again. Even just friends I will accept.

I looked up again and saw that Asher was still not returning to his companions so I sat down in the gutter again while hugging himself.

Little did I know that while I was waiting for Asher to return to his companions, I had fallen asleep. Until I felt someone hold my shoulder.

My heartbeat quickened and I was suddenly nervous.

Stranger.

Trauma hits me when I make sure I don’t know the man in front of me.

“W-who are you?” I asked nervously and I felt like I was going to cry.

“You’ve must be Ashley, Asher’s personal—–assistant?” The way he says the word personal is like there is something because he looks at me like he is scanning me. I looked at Asher’s place. He was already there with the woman and they were all watching with us.

“Y-yeah.” I simply said but didn’t move.

“I see, anyway, I’m Rich.” He held out his hand but I didn’t reach for it. “Would you mind if I do this?” I frowned at his question.

“Do what?”

“This.” He grabbed and kissed me and I was surprised at what he did and cannot react. “I’m sorry,” he said then he stood up and left. I looked at Asher’s place and now they were laughing. I saw the man kiss me who gave me a thumbs up while Asher was laughing as well but even from a distance I could feel the anger in the way he looked at me.

Past 11:00 pm they stood together. Asher walked to his car with the woman and he was still holding. The woman’s car was next to his car.

“Thanks for the wonderful night babe, your fucking good,” the woman said then she and Asher kissed again.

“You too.” Then the woman got into her car.

Asher opened the car so I got in right away cause he might leave me.

We didn’t talk during the whole trip and I didn’t want to talk to him even if I want to know why he left me outside the bar and waited for a long time. Maybe he’ll get another reason to be angry with me. So I just kept quiet so I could go home.

But suddenly the car stopped here in a place where not much was passing. At the place where Hunter and I planned to take Ley but Vince’s staff preceded us.

“The thickness of your face to kiss my investor,” Asher said quietly as he gripped the steering wheel tightly. “Aren’t you really embarrassed? You really want to fuck with all the guys?” Then he looked at me and I saw his furious look.

“Asher, I-its not what you think. I didn’t know that he will do— ”

“Shut up.”

“Asher. Please, I don’t really —”

“Get out.” I was suddenly nervous at what he said.

“Asher,”

“I said, get out.”

“Please believe me,”

“Get out of my car!” I shook my head because I didn’t want to go down. I don’t want to be left in this place alone so no matter what happens I won’t get out of this car.

“Asher, even in the driveway you’re going to drop me off, not here please.”

“Why are you scared? are you still scared of something? Don’t worry, you can use your body, that what you want right?” I shook as I cried. I will not go down and no matter what happens I will stay here.

“No, please,”

“You don’t want to go down?” I shook as I cried. “You really don’t want to huh!” Asher got out of the car and opened the passenger seat then pulled me over.

“OUT!” he shouted at me as he pulled me so I ran away while crying. But I did nothing because he was stronger than me. He grabbed me hard so I got out of the car and pushed me in the middle of the road so I fell in the middle of the road. I got up quickly but he quickly got in his car and quickly run.

No.

No.

Nervousness and fear I feel now when I can no longer see the light in Asher’s car. I was alone in a place with no people. I sat on the side of the road then hugged myself while crying.

What if something might happen to me?

What if someone pleases me badly?

What if what happened to me before happened again?

What will gonna happen to Charles?

My tears flowed as I worried about what might happen to me. Suddenly some memories suddenly entered my mind. Memories that caused the destruction of my life.

“Take her and put that in the car.” And laughter filled the place.

No. No. No. Please.

‘Please help me.’

Suddenly a car stopped in front of me that makes me feel more nervous.
