After a face surgery, I revenge on my Ex-husband

“My name is Ava, and Nah… I can’t tell you my full name okay?” I responded.

“Alright have a nice day Ava. Expect me in less than an hour okay,” she added like a mother to her child and left the room. Locking the door softly behind.

With my head on the pillow, I felt happy at that moment and especially as I remembered the way Jayden angrily left the hospital. Since then he never long stayed anymore. He only came once in a while.

My response to his unnecessary question must have really hurt him oh poor soul, but that wasn’t his business about my life, right? I was just here to get paid, get the cash, and get out and establish myself.

As I rubbed my hands all over the bed, rolling down to my side in happiness. “Finally, I won’t have to feel scared anymore, even though the president is still poking around my life and not giving me breathing space.”

A thought flashed through my head, my heart panged with guilt. I picked up my phone from the purse beside me and dialed Lilac’s number. Waiting for the call to ring I rubbed my face softly.

“Hello Ava, how are you doing?” Lilac picked up the call and responded from the other end. “Hello Lilac it’s been a while, how are you doing?” I asked back.

Her voice was calm and soothing, “I’m good honey, I hope you are okay,”

I shook my head, “No I am not fine honey, I just came back from the hospital, I was bleeding and I was pregnant. I mean, it’s crazy, you don’t have to do anything.”

Cutting me off Lilac asked in excitement, “Are you pregnant for the president’s son or the president? Tell me I’ll soon be a president’s sister in law, I’m sorry for the stress you had to go through and you know if it was possible I would have come to visit you all hehe you know I can’t! I won’t even be allowed in.”

“No honey, it was for Harvis.” I let out, covering my mouth and closing my eyes while It blinked.

“What? Harvis? Did you go down with Harvis? Are you for real? When did this even happen and you never told me? Well, forget the last part you don’t have to kiss and tell but girl… I am so surprised to my bone marrow.”

Taking a deep breath in I asked, “So what were you expecting? The president or his son?” I asked in a hushed tone and looked at the door.

“Yeah… I mean I don’t know, I’m all just blown away. So how’s life been treating you over there? I know you’ve been too busy to come over and me too. I traveled out to spend a couple of days with my girlfriend,” Lilac responded i widened my eyes and held myself back from laughing.

“You mean you are dating your girlfriend now? Because she broke up with Jayden she doesn’t want to love a man again? This is crazy. I mean cool at the same time. You know you haven’t really told me about how it happened. You know I really want to hear it.”

Of course, even though it came as a shocker to me, I had this feeling of Lilac being bisexual because of the way she used to look at me most time and tease me. You’ll always know and feel it.

“That’s a story for another day honey. You’ll get to hear that next time, so tell me. How are you being treated over here? Like a queen I guess..”

My eyes met the door and looked around, then in a hushed tone I whispered, “Nope, listen the president and both his son are on my neck. Both of them, professing love but I know just exactly what they want. The fame and to get under my legs. You know I’m a hot cake now.”

“Hot cake indeed, they can’t help but salivate. So how’s your relationship with Harvis going?”

“I broke up with him, found him having sex with Irene in his office and I can’t still get that scene out of my head. Men will always be men, I gave him my heart but he folded it,” I replied rolling my eyes and staring at the ceiling.

“What? that’s crazy. How about the work, are you still going for the shoots? I mean I’m sorry honey. When did this even happen?” she asked in disbelief then she added, “I know you didn’t really fall hard for him did you? Tell me the truth. You didn’t like him that much?”

Butterflies flew in my belly, “To be honest, at first I didn’t but I think I began to give my heart away. It’s all good. I’m good, I forgiven myself.” I replied.

I and Mabel discussed for a while, trying to catch up with our lives, and the call seemed like it never was going to end.

“Is there a way, I could come visit you or you come over to my place? I miss you so much, I’m sorry I didn’t call or text,” Lilac said.

Just as I was about to reply, the door creaked open and the maid walked in. “Maybe next week or this week, but let’s talk online to plan.

I’m kinda in a prison cell,” I responded looking at the maid as she walked closer to me.

Without waiting to hear Lilac’s response, I shut the door. “The president just sent me now to call you to his room. I mean I don’t know why he should be calling you to his room, but that’s not my business anyway. Forgive me I’m a bit of a pryer,” the maid said in a hushed voice as she held my hands.

She added, “he said I should come with you too. Like right now.”

Sliding my hair from my face, I took in a deep breath and stood up on my feet. The maid brought forth her hands to me and took mine in hers, her hands felt so soft and warm in mine. Taking slow steps behind her, the moment we got to the door, it opened and Jayden came into the room obstructing us from going out.

“Ava, I want to speak with you,” he uttered and the maid interjected, “Your father sent for her now, it’s urgent, I humbly ask that you extend your speech till she is back.”

Jayden glared at her and walked towards her, “Look here, go and tell my father that I want to talk to my girlfriend now! You get me? Now leave,” he glowered at her and she shook her head in fear.

“Don’t go anywhere, I’m coming with you. Jayden, you can wait! I’ll be back to listen to whatever you have to say,” I held her hand which already slipped out of mine.

“You are going nowhere, what the hell is this you are doing? You …”

I snapped back at him, “Go to hell Jayden, you lack patience, see don’t get me mad.” I warned folding my fist. My eyes caught the maids’ jaw dropped for a split second and she covered it back the kept a straight face.

Turning to the maid, I said, “Don’t mind me and my boyfriend. We are just having fun.”

Even a ten year old would know that I was lying to cover. Was there really any need to explain the situation? Yes, I think so. I felt like she had the ability to spill some secrets to the president or gossip. More like I don’t trust her.

I don’t trust nobody.

“No it’s fine,” she said with her face flushed. I moved out while Jayden walked into my room and shut the door behind him.

Getting to the president’s room, the maid knocked, no response came from him and the maid opened the door while I followed her behind into the room.

The president turned his head from the table which he sat on, with a laptop on the table and a tray of food. He gestured at the maid, “You can go now.”

My heart skipped a beat as he spoke. I watched her leave the room and the door slid shut then I looked back at the president who was eating. “Come and join me, Ava. Come come,” he said, stretching his hands and beckoning on me to come.

“No thank you, sir, I can’t eat with you. I am not hungry, thanks,” I stuttered, trying hard to maintain a balance. I felt my leg go weak as I spoke with him.

“No I insist,” he said and picked up a streak from his plate and brought it closer to my mouth with his eyes looking eagerly at me to eat his food.

“I don’t want to. I insist sir, I’m sorry.”

“Don’t call me sir again. please call me my name,” he said while I wondered why he was acting this nice towards me.

“I insist. Eat this, take,” he brought the food closer to my mouth and used my fingers to take the food away, and dropped it on the Tray.

“Please can I know why you called me here?” I asked and he slouched on his seat. “Take a seat here,” he commanded pulling the second chair beside him to his front.

I held the head of the chair to pull It back but the president held the chair firmly. “Sit here, don’t push it back.”

My eyebrows drew together, shadowing my eyes. my lips pursed into a thin line. Looking at the chair, I paced through the tiny gap that was open for me and sat down, my knee almost touching his.

With my hands on my chin, I stared deep into his eyes while waiting for him to talk. “Don’t give me that look. Um, see I don’t know how you young folks do it now but I’ll just go straight to the point,” he paused and looked deep into my eyes.

His eyes locked with mine, “I want you to be mine.” he added, his voice devoid of jokes.

“Joking right? Is that what you really wanted to say to me, sir?” I asked letting out a a chuckle. “I’m not joking here, I am telling you what I want. Look here I want you to be mine, be my lady and I’ll make you enjoy forever.”

I let out a fake laugh at his last word, “Excuse me, sir? Did it seem like I was suffering? I don’t wanna be yours. Why do you think I should be yours?” I asked, cutting the questions in my head. I had millions of questions to blast him but I decided to be calm.

“Because you are everything I want in a woman. Every damn thing. You are intelligent, smart, beautiful, just so sweet.”

I shook my head slightly and looked at him in the eyes, ” There’s load of women out there that have those qualities you just mentioned so why me?” I bluffed.

“Those are women but it’s you I choose ’cause you are exceptional my love,” he replied and I let out a soft laugh and rolled my eyes. Just as I laughed, I felt his hands on my legs.

I lift his hands off my legs, “No don’t do that sir. This is quite offensive. I don’t want you and that should be okay! I don’t deserve your love too neither do you. If this is what you want to say I’ll humbly leave if you don’t mind.”

“Sit!” he commanded, his eyes turned red. “I won’t, I’m leaving this place. Go to hell with your love. I’m your son’s girlfriend for goodness sake so why do you want anything to do with me?” I hurled, pushing the chair behind me.

“I know you are pregnant with his baby but I can take the child as mine. Come here, I know Jayden doesn’t love you. Allow me to treat you better!” he replied.

What kind of a father goes after his son’s girlfriend?
