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

Chapter eight: You better do something about it before she does



“My belly seems to hurt me,” I mumbled under my breath as Lilac spoke to me. At that moment, I felt like a sword pierced through my belly and was stuck there.

Lilac stood up and asked, “What’s wrong? Do I call the doctor or do I take you to the hospital?” She asked, her voice shaking as she spoke. Tears trickled down my face one of my hands wrapped around my belly and the other grabbed the couch firmly.

Lilac rushed to her room, picked up her phone, and called for an ambulance to come and pick me up, “I’m almost dying Lilac!” I groaned and she tried to scoop me off my feet. At that point, the ambulance didn’t arrive, and as she carried me, the whole couch was soaked with blood.

I couldn’t walk again, my head spun and everything became blurry and dark in my eyes. The only thing I could hear was the sounds of the siren and after that, I didn’t hear anything anymore.

“She’s going to be fine,” I could hear a male voice say. I felt like my eye was open but I couldn’t see anyone or anything. It felt like I just finished a race, if I could remember clearly, I was running and other people, both men, women, and young children were running alongside me not until I saw my mother command me to go back.

My eyes blinked open to see Lilac sitting beside me, with her eyes on me. Even though everything was hazy to me, I could see her clap and wipe her eyes. ” Why am I here?” I asked and looked around to discover that I was actually in a hospital.

“You just finished a surgical operation. You were pregnant and you didn’t know? You had a miscarriage,” Lilac said and immediately memories flashed back to me.

The maltreatment, the race, the catch.

“Yes, I was pregnant. I thought I told you I had kids..” my voice barely audible.

Four months had passed since I had the surgical operation. While I rested at home waiting for the wound to heal, Lilac took very good care of me. She had me realize that she was more of a family and sister.

More like, she was a blood sister unlike my sister Mabel. Mabel who made me almost lose my life. Mabel who joined forces with the enemy to kill me and her parents. If she were an adopted child I would understand but in this case, she wasn’t.

At this point, I was starting to believe that blood is not thicker than water. Not always.

One day, while Lilac went out to get something, there came a knock on the door. With weakness, I stood and went to the door.

As I opened the door, I saw Harvis standing before me. “Hello, can I come in?” He asked and I shook my head and he followed me behind. Seating down, he said, “Why haven’t you been responding to my calls and messages? You made me worried.”

“What calls? You only called once!” my voice calm and weak. “Are you okay? Are you feeling good?” He asked standing up to sit closer to me.

“Yes I am okay, I’m fine. I didn’t want to come for work remember I told you I was done,” I lied and let out a fake laugh.

At that moment, the door creaked open to Lilac coming in, “Hello,” She waved at Harvis. “Hello… I came to see Ava. She hasn’t turned up since three months ago… is everything okay with her?”

Without looking at me, Lilac responded, “No I apologize on her behalf,” At this moment as he started speaking, my blood boiled because why apologize to him? Why waste an apology?

“She just got off from the hospital and she’s just recovering now,” Lilac said and moved away to drop off the things she carried.

With my hands on my forehead and my elbow resting on the hands of the couch, I looked down at my lap in anger. “Hope you are feeling better now?” Harvis’s voice arose.

“I’m better If you leave,” I replied, shooting a glare at him this time. “That’s okay, I won’t leave so early tho. Wait, I’ll be here shortly,” Harvis stood up and walked out only to come back with four big bags and a flower.

“Here, I got you this. I didn’t bring them out with me,” he handed the bag over to me.

After that day, Harvis sent one of his men to pick me up, “Bye Lilac,” I said to her, waving at her as she bade me goodbye too. I walked into the car which was held open for me and sat behind the car which was already killing me with the breeze. The cold in the car almost sealed my nose and the way the driver drove almost made me almost lose my mind.

Finally, we arrived at Harvis place and I breathed in a sigh of relief. The guards turned to my angle and opened the door, I stepped out and met Harvis who was already walking towards me.

He opened his arms and wrapped me in an embrace, “Come with me sweetie pie. It’s nice to have you here.” He said and took me by the hands as he led me in.

On getting inside, my eyes met two adults who appeared to be between the ages of sixty two. The moment I saw them I exchanged glances at Harvis who smiled back at me.

“Mom, Dad, meet my Ava Smith. My girlfriend.” They both turned their head away from the TV which their eyes were glued on.

“Hello..” I waved awkwardly at them. I shot a this was what we talked about glare at Harvis and he averted his eyes. “Oh my!! Where did you pick her from?” His mom gasped and this threw me off guard.

“She looks like an angel!” his father added and stood up and walked up to me. “Come and sit here with me, don’t sit with my wife. I want the beauty transferred to me.”

They all Burst into laughter and meekly I followed him and sat by him, ” I know I am like the one hundred and eighty girls he is bringing to this parents. Oh Damn, I’m such a fool to have agreed to come with him.” I murmured in my head and tried to keep a smile on my face while listening to Harvis’ father crack his jokes.

“You are the first girl my son is bringing home and this is a surprise to me,” Harvis’s mom let out and looked at Harvis who was looking at me with a wide smile.

After about an hour of sitting down with Harvis and his parents, I notified him that I wanted to leave and of course, I was already tired of sitting there watching them laugh and crack boring jokes.

Outside the house in the car, I slammed at Harvis, “Why did you bring me to your parents without informing me that you were doing so?” I tried hard to maintain my voice in a calm manner but I couldn’t.

“I’m sorry… it was meant to be like a surprise. Are you not happy to see them?” he asked and I shoved him aside and walked away but he grabbed me by my hands. “Where’d you think you are going? With that look on your face?” He asked in a hoarse voice and pulled me closer to him.

He brought his lips towards mine and our eyes locked into one, I could already feel his breath as he inched closer but only to cover my mouth with my palms which he angrily pulled away and forcefully he smashed his lips on mine.

He grabbed me on my waist and walked his tongue inside my mouth, I couldn’t resist his kiss anymore as the only thing I could do at that moment was to succumb.

As I kissed him back, I tried hard to take away the memories of kissing Addams which were beginning to lurk around as I kissed Harvis.

The wild kisses I had always gotten from Addams whenever he was angry, he used me as a calming machine and for one reason I never understood why he was always angry.

“How disrespectful! Why didn’t you take her elsewhere?” a voice echoed from behind and immediately we broke the kiss.

My eyes met his mom’s eye whose angry eyes turned into a smile, “You forgot your little purse.”

Harvis went forward to her and got the purse from her. “Thank you mom, don’t be jealous!” Harvis said while stretching to get the purse from her.

“I am not jealous! Your father treated me better! You young folks don’t even know what love truly is,” she huffed and turned her back to leave.

“Thank you,” I let out as she turned to leave and shit an angry glare at Harvis. “You look more beautiful when you are angry!” Harvis said and took me by my hands. He opened his car and guided me in, “No I want to sit at the back.”

“Why? But your wish is my command anyway?” He opened the back door and I got in. He shut the door behind me and turned the the front. He entered the car and ignited the engine and he began driving.

The following day, I find myself preparing to go to work. In an hour, I arrived at work and immediately I sat down, Laura walked up to me again.

“Where have you been for months now and how are you doing? Did the boss make you so weak from his last bombing in you that you couldn’t walk anymore?” Laura said in a low tone and let out a giggle.

“What do you mean by that?” I asked, trying so hard to make my voice calm. “I meant, have you finally had sex with the boss? You appear way fresher than the last time I saw you,” She said and I smiled at her.

She continued, ” I know, I’ve been watching you. Don’t think I didn’t see you and the boss going out on a date.”

“Can you leave now Laura? I don’t want to talk about this!” I increased my tone and shot a glare at her

“I will but I’ll be back soon!” She whispered and giggled like an evil witch, then twitched her waist slightly as she walked away. ” What the hell is wrong with this one?” I asked myself.

A tap on my shoulder and I looked up, it was one of the girls who had never spoken to me since the first day I came, ” You know what? Let me have a seat first.”

I looked at the white-haired girl with her oval face and shining skin tone sitting down, “My name is Joo and I’ve been watching you since you came on here. You are the boss here and it pains me to see you talk to Laura and let her talk to you too. I have been hearing what she has been saying to you and that’s offensive. You have the power to make her stop or lose her job.

Even though what she is saying is offensive and at the same time true, I myself had sex with the boss. I mean I couldn’t resist it but I regret that decision I took. Now a snippet about why Laura is angry, she was more like the boss’s main and she was the one in charge here too, so she’s jealous because she loves the boss!”

I took in a deep breath, and asked, “So how does this information benefit my life?”

“If you want to keep being disturbed by Laura you let her do so, she may be your downfall, I have been watching her and I know her antics. You better do something about it before she does!”
