After Divorce I Became A Zillionaire

Nickolas Michealson

I opened my eyes to see myself laying on a bed, I looked up and saw a white roof. I cringed when the smell of injection hit my nose, I wanted to sit up when heart-wrecking pain slammed in. I looked down at myself to see my leg hung above the hospital bed, my hands were bandaged, and I could feel my neck was wrapped with something too.

I looked to my right to see my parents staring at me with nothing but pity, and just like that the memory of everything that happened started flooding into my mind.

How I went to Sherly’s house and found her making out with my best friend, and then everything crashed. I wanted to fight back my tears as reality hit me so hard. Just how much of a fool I was to have let the angel in my life slip away. I chose a devil over her and now I’m left to deal with it.

“You choose this part Nickolas” My father’s voice broke through my thought

“What did she not do to make you see her true intentions and feelings”

“I’m sorry dad”

“Nicholas she gave you everything” My mum added

“Mum…..” I sobbed

“She gave you her life, love, body, patience, endurance, hard work…… what she never gave you was her life, and yet! You were so blind to see all of that”

“You know what?” Mum said wiping her tears,

“I don’t pity you at all, I feel like this is a part you choose and you need to walk it alone to know how it feels at least you should feel a little bit of how Ava felt in the past”

“Maybe you should call Sherly to be here now,” Dad said

“That’s true…. I mean she’s the one enjoying everything all along, she should be here to suffer with you right?” Mum added and Dad nodded at her

“Ohh…. you’re awake” The Doctor smiled walking in with a file in his hand

“Ehhmm… the test result is ready” He muttered passing the file to my dad who flipped over the pages

“What does it say?” Mum asks sounding impatient

“Mmm…. Nickolas, I want you to know that this is not the end of the world”

“Doctor what do you mean?” Mum asks

“Calm down Mrs. Michealson” The doctor assured

“As I was saying, Mr. Nickolas, this is not the end of the world, you can still leave your normal life”

“Doctor what do you mean?” I manage to ask in a cracked voice

“The Accident affected some of your backbones, I’m sorry one side of your body is paralyzed…. you cannot be able to walk again”

“No….. no…. no…. doctor that can’t be possible” Mum screamed in tears

“I’m sorry Mrs. Michealson our hospital is the best in the world, I can assure you we will try our best to revive him but it will only take a miracle for him to walk again”

“Excuse me,” He said and walked out.

I didn’t realize I’m crying till I felt wetness on my hand. I looked down in shame. I didn’t feel any pity for myself because everything was my fault. I allowed myself to be used.

My heart clenched in pain, so funny how my life changed in a blink of an eye all because of one woman “Sherly” Right now I curse the day I met her wishing I never really met her at all.

“What!!!” Dad screamed making my attention turned towards him, but instead, he was in rage watching the news on the tv

“It was discovered that Nickolas Michealson the CEO of Michealson corporations was involved in a fatal accident, for now, the outcome of the accident is yet unknown… stay stunned to keep updated” The news went off

“How did the accident get to the media?” Mum asked looking panicked

“Damn those reporters!!” Dad screamed in anger and walked out, while mum went after him.

I look at myself, left alone in a hospital bed with no one to turn to… I don’t know where or how to go from here, life is meaningless to me, I have become jeopardy to my enemies, knowing they will use this against me.

…

It’s been a week since I was discharged from the hospital, I was confined in a wheelchair, and my life has changed drastically. I now work from home with my laptop. Yes! I refuse to give even if I don’t even have a reason or right to want to live. I want to be strong for the day I see Ava… I want to ask for her forgiveness.

The only people that visit me are my parents. Madam Perky was so kind enough to stay with me through these difficult times, as she has been the one taking care of me.

I never heard anything about Sherly or Xander. Working on my laptop and starting at sunrise has always been my daily routine since my life changed.

Right now I was done with my work for the day, I needed to go over to the balcony and watch the evening sun set. I needed someone to push me on this wheelchair but madam Perky is busy and I wouldn’t want to disturb her since I’m a load of work already.

I managed to push myself to the balcony, fresh air welcomed my skin, as a bright smile formed on my face. This place has always been a source of healing since my accident.

My phone rang disrupting my thought, I pulled it out from my pocket and look at the screen to see an unknown number, I slide on the green icon

“How are you doing pathetic fool”

My muscle tighten, as I gritted my teeth recognizing the voice, it was no other person but Shey

“Devil what do you want”

“Ohh… please mind how you speak to me, I heard you’re now a crippled dog, well news flash.. called to tell you that I’m getting married to your best friend…” She mocked

“Get off my phone” I gritted out

“Stop barking like a dog you are, was just doing you a favor of them wheeling you inside that day like the lost puppy you are to experience my grand wedding… but too bad you don’t want to come, your lost hehe…. bye” She laughed and hanged up

I know it’s crazy, but I lost it I break down in tears of regret

“What did I do to myself”
