After Divorce I Became A Zillionaire novel Chapter 5

Ava Dela Sanchez

I stood quietly in a corner as we awaited Nicklaus's private jet. Nicklaus's father insisted on sending us on our honeymoon. I know I should be excited, this has always been my dream to have a mind-blowing honeymoon with my childhood best friend with whom I have fallen in love with, turns out he's my betrothed, and now we are married. Much like a fairytale story, not all fairytales have a happy beginning. Our marriage is built on one-sided love and hatred, I don't even know what the future has in store for us.

I haven't recovered fully from the last scene. I woke up later to find myself in the hospital bed and when I asked the doctor, he said a good samaritan brought me here. I didn't know who it was and to date, my parents didn't know what happened. I know I've to be strong, I wanted this right?, so I must own up to it. I know it isn't easy, loving someone so much even to the point that you're willing to lay down your life for them yet! They pay less or no attention to it. That is one of the feelings that hurt the most. I've been telling myself Ava you can do this you wanted this now you have it. But no...this wasn't how I planned it.

Looking back to our childhood, I should have known years have passed already, we've been away from each other and most of all we have all grown into different people. And seeing Nickolas treat me like nobody I can understand. He thought I took the love of his life away from him. But only if he knew who his girlfriend is, only if he knew she's not who she places herself as, only if he knew.

I wrapped my arms around my shoulders as I felt cold and shivered, my body was burning but I ignored it, I endured it. It wasn't long enough till our jet arrived, I walked out of the place I was as I saw our parents all lined up as they waited to bid us goodbye and a safe journey. I smiled as I stood at a distance and admired how Nickolas put up a smiling face, making all his character with a smile. I know everybody fell for it, but I saw how my mother was looking around for me.

I sigh as I puff out some air out of too much cold. I walk towards them and my mother rushes towards me in panic. She touched my forehead and gasped when she felt my fever. She pulled off her jacket and wore it on me immediately. I smiled and thanked her. But her gaze stiffened as she turned towards Nickolas ready to give him an earful but I held her hand and shook my head negatively. The others were busy discussing happily that they never noticed us. I look at my mom as tears roll down my eyes, and without anything further, I wrap my arms around her as she embraces him in her motherly arms. I buried my face in her chest feeling safe as she rubs my hair, she kissed my hair and whispered to my right ear.

"Dear, it's good to love someone but never you lose yourself in the process of loving that person, understood?"

"Yes…." I nodded nodding my head still in her embrace, I later pulled away from the hug and hug our parents separately before, having them the final goodbye, I watch as my mom gave me the look that says "Remember all that I said" I nodded my head at her, and smile at everyone as we finally entered as the jet waited for them to live before it went off. I sat close to the window as I rested my head on the backseat. Thanks to the jacket Mom gave me, I feel less cold.
