Semua Bab Ex-husband, You Broke The Wrong Woman : Bab 11 - Bab 20

[Elena]"Elena, what did you just say?" Natalia my best friend said on the phone. I swallowed hard, pacing back and forth in the living room."I...I...I'm confused, Nat. I know I haven't gone insane. She stabbed herself in my presence. And...and when Asher rushed downstairs, she pointed at me and said I stabbed her and tried to kill her!" I sniffed back the tears that were rolling down my cheeks as I said on the phone."Hold on? Let me understand this very clearly. Because this is entirely not making any damn sense!" Nat growled, and I bit down on my lips. My eyes shifted to my hand. I had tried to wash out every blood stain in my hand but the more I tried the more I could feel it clinging to my skin."You mean Vienna is back? After two years. And just this morning she stabbed herself and said you did so?""Nat, I'm...I'm confused, I don't know...my head is hurting. I tried to leave the house to go after whatever hospital they might have gone to but the security guard said Asher gave

[Asher] The moment she stepped out of the house with her hand cuffed, my heart ached. Every part of my body stiffened as I averted my eyes from her. She stabbed Vienna! I repeated it over and over in my head. But no matter how much I did, seeing her in those cuffs made my heart shatter in ways I can't even explain. Why? Why would she go that far? We were fine. We talked about this. She said she understood. She said she would sign the papers and leave. Then why would she go as far as wanting her sister dead? Vienna told me that she was going to apologize for speaking to her that way. And I'm so sure she had it in mind. Why would Elena do this? My eyes shifted as Mrs Clara Draven pulled the door open and stepped in. Her eyes were burning red. Her jaw clenched. "I will make sure she rots in prison. She tried the wrong person. All I did was pick her up from an orphanage and care for her but this is what I get?" Clara Draven snapped. I shifted my eyes away from her, staring out o

[Elena]My hands curled around my stomach as I stared at nowhere in particular. Tears welled up in my eyes as my eyes shifted to the dress I had changed into.So this is it? This is how my life flipped over in a matter of days. This is what it truly means not to have a family of your own.The stench of metal and bleach clung to me like a second skin. I don't know how many days have passed. Just days of staring at these walls, of splashing cold water against my face and pretending it counted as bathing.My hair was greasy, sticking to my temples, and my clothes reeked of sweat. I couldn’t remember the last time I felt clean. Even worse than the filth was the silence — thick, heavy, broken only by the echo of doors clanging somewhere far down the hallI curled on the thin mattress, tracing the cracks in the ceiling. My heart ached. The tears that I've tried to hold back fell nonstop.My eyes shifted to the food they had brought in. I couldn't touch any of it. My heart was bleeding, and

[Asher] "What is the meaning of this?" Elena spat, shoving the files toward me. I watched as her eyes widened as she stared straight into my eyes. My jaw clenched, my lips sank deep into my teeth as every word I read on the doctor's report concerning Vienna rushed back into my mind. I tilted my neck to the side, making sure my eyes burned deep into Elena's eyes. "What is the meaning of what? Have you lost the ability the read simple English?" She swallowed hard. I could clearly see the way she was trying to hold back her tears but honestly. I do not give a fuck! Not when I have a woman, who she almost killed, not when her evil heart almost took the woman I love away from me. "You must be joking!" Elena snapped, her lips shifting into a bitter smile. "You must be joking to bring this kind of document for me to sign. What do you take me for?" I leaned closer, letting my voice drop low and dangerous. "You are going to do exactly as that contract says. You will fucking do so!" "I w

[Elena] "How dare you try to kill the woman my son loves?" Margaret yelled in my face. My hand shot up as I pressed my cheeks. Tears blurred my vision. My lips wobbled as I shifted my eyes to her. I wouldn't say we had a great relationship or a bad one. We were clearly just there. She knew of the contract between me and Asher. And she would usually thank me for holding on, why we hoped my sister would come back. So of course I wasn't expecting her not to believe the lies she had already been fed on. I opened my mouth to say something. To tell her that I didn't do it, but I shut it back. What was the need? None of them would listen to me, they would believe anything Vienna says anyway. My eyes shifted toward the living room. Everyone's eyes were on me. I could spot a few people. Tristan, Asher's cousin. Vienna and Asher. Asher held Vienna like she would break if he let go. "I am talking to you, you stupid low-life bitch!" Margaret yelled, snapping me out of my daze. Shame crawle
