Ava Della Sanchez
It’s been a week since I left Nickolas’s mansion and divorced him. I already signed the papers and sent them back to him through mail. Standing outside the balcony of Chris’s house, I allowed the cool breeze of the nighttime to soothe my aching heart.
Yes! It’s been one whole week and yet! It felt like yesterday, thanks to my family and Chris, I was able to keep my sanity in check. I thought that after I divorced him, I would finally forget about him completely… but no! I was wrong, I never knew it was going to be this hard and painful. Every passing moment I feel like my life is about to crawl away from me, I couldn’t believe I attempted suicide twice, If not for Chris I would have been a long speech.
This whole time I never realized that I’ve come to love a monster so much that I gave him the room to destroy every inch of my whole being that I became a shadow of my own existence. Nicholas treated me like an unwanted plague yet! I was so in love with him that I couldn’t see he’d been blinded by the wording “love”.
His hatred for me turned him into a monster. I tried to make him see my true feelings for him, forgetting that you can’t keep a man that doesn’t want to be kept. For a complete year, I was a shadow, I leave every day trying to impress him. Until the last moment, I couldn’t take it anymore.
I’ve been sick, for days and today I went to the hospital for treatment, I’m happy but with mixed emotions, many questions is running marathon in my head
“Where do I go from here?”
“How do I cope” Yet! One thing is that I need to leave. New York is definitely my home but not meant for me, I need to pick back the broken pieces of myself, I need to fix who I am. At the moment I already lost my whole identity.
It’s all over the social media, my divorce is everywhere, my family’s name has been shattered, everything is broken all because of one man. My hands wrapped around my tummy securely as I wept in pain, agony, and heartbreak. I gave Nickolas my all, I spent my whole life loving him, that damn man took away my pride,
My hand slammed on the railings as I cried, he forced his way on me and broke down my walls, he mistreated me and made me a laughing stock. He disrespected me and tainted my image
I gritted my teeth in pain remembering all he did to me, the emotional trauma he caused me on our wedding night, the embarrassment he caused me with Shirley, the uncountable night of tears
“I swear on my baby’s life” I gritted out touching my tummy
“I will make you pay…….. Nickolas Michealson, I will make you beg for mercy under my feet……. I will make sure you lose your pride before the whole world” This is for my unborn child, which is a result of your brutal rappings.
“Hi” I felt a little squeeze on my shoulder and turned to see Chris
“How are you doing?” He asks smiling out his cute dimples, which always melt my heartRêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
“I’m good and you?”
“Awesome” He replied
I turned towards him, looking at him right now, I found out he’s been so good to me. He’s been there for me even though I’ve only known him for a short while
”Thank you, Chris”
“For???”
“For everything, I wouldn’t have been able to pull through without you”
“It’s nothing, you deserve to be happy” He muttered, stepping closer to me he brush back some strands of hair behind my ear
“You can always count on me” He muttered hoarsely, his breath dangerously facing my face. I looked into his eyes and saw nothing but pure love and sincerity, but my head and emotion was already so messed up for more confusion.
I stepped back and a little bit away from him,
“I made dinner, let’s go inside, I want to discuss something with you over dinner”
“Sure let’s go” He smiles, paving the way for me to walk first.
“Such a gentleman” I smile inwardly.
The only people that know about my pregnancy are my family, I plan on telling Chris over dinner.
I walk towards the dining area as we sit down, and dig into the food.
“I’m pregnant” I finally drop the news, making Chris choke on his food
“You’re what??” He asked looking shocked, not like I expected anything less
“Nicholas forcefully had his way with me so many times, and that’s the result if it,” I said feeling heartbroken
“How dare that animal!!!” Chris yelled in anger balling his fist in furry
I stretch forth and comforted his balled first with my palms, massaging it soothingly,
“He doesn’t worth it, I just want you to keep it private, I told you because I trust you and know you won’t let me down”
“I’m sorry for all you’ve been through Ava….”
“It’s nothing, I learned the hard way already” I smiled in pain
“What’s your next plan?”
“I’m leaving the country first thing tomorrow morning”
“Are your family aware of this?”
“Yes…. Chris…?”
“Yes dear”
“I need a fresh start, a place away from this place, I need to breathe in a new air, I want to become independent, for myself and my children, I want to become a strong woman which my naiveness couldn’t achieve and most of all, I want to build my empire and make someone pay for the tears and pains I went through”
“I will always support you whatever your decision will be,” He said sincerely
“Thank you so much, Chris”
“Always welcome honey, let’s finish up” He gestured to the food.
It’s finally a fine morning, the day that I will be leaving this fucking country that did nothing but broke my whole being.
As I strolled my luggage out of the room I met Chris already waiting for me at the entrance. He will be driving me to the airport since my flight is an hour from now.
“Ready?” He asks
“All set” I smile and watch as he helps my luggage into the car trunk. He closed the trunk and open the car door for me,
“Thanks” I muttered and slid in before he closed the door, he entered the driver’s seat and drove off. Finally, I will be breathing in fresh air, peace of mind with my sanity intact.
We drove into the airport minutes later, he parked and helped me with my luggage
“So???” He asks looking pained
“We will have to say our goodbyes here” I smile as a lone tear dropped from my eyes,
“I will miss you” He smile and step closer as he cup of my cheeks and kissed my forehead lovingly
“Chris, I don’t know what the future holds, but whatever happens always know that I’m grateful and wish you nothing but happiness,” I said already missing him
“Ava…” He called wiping my tears with his right thumb
“Always remember that there’s someone like Chris Lozaldo who loves you so much and is always ready to have you in his arms”
“Thank you so much” I smile sniffing in tears
“Call me whenever you need help”
“Sure” I smile
“Goodbye,” I said waving my hands at him while walking away with my trolley bag, I hadn’t taken much step when I heard my name
“Ava……?” I turned to see Chris rushing towards me, catching me off guard, he turned me to him and slammed my lips on his, tears streamed down my eyes as I unknowingly dropped my luggage, and kept my hands under his shirt .. guess this is a goodbye kiss.
