Nuella grunted and opened her eyes, taking in the unfamiliar environment around her.

She tried to recall what had happened but at that moment her brain was foggy.

“Oh you're awake?” She heard someone say and turned to see a doctor standing by her bedside smiling down at her.

Suddenly all the memories of what had happened came rushing back and she gasped as her hands went to her stomach that now seemed flatter than before.

A sense of dread hit Nuella but she swallowed it as she summoned the courage to ask the doctor. “How's my child?”

The smile on the young doctor's face slipped but she quickly composed herself.

Nuella noticed and a tear slid down her cheek. She knew, somehow she knew. “How's my child doctor?”

The female doctor shook her head unable to construct the words at the beginning. “I'm sorry. You were brought in too late and we couldn't save the baby.”

Tears began to roll down her cheeks uncontrollably but she didn't cry out loud.

“I'm really sorry ma'am. Please try to rest up so your body can heal.” The doctor advised and walked out of the room leaving Nuella alone.

“Damn you Silas!” Nuella screamed all of a sudden as more tears streamed down her face.

The door burst open and the doctor from before alongside tow female nurses ran in, panic on their faces.

“What's the matter ma'am? Are you in pain?” The doctor fired question after question at Nuella who remained frozen to the spot and didn't respond.

One of the nurses tapped her shoulder and shook her head signaling to the doctor to step aside.

“What's wrong?” The puzzled docter asked, unsure why she had been pulled aside.

“I think the patient is in shock because of her loss.”

The three stared at Nuella who was still sobbing silently.

“We should give her some space,”

The three stepped out again leaving Nuella who was now sobbing uncontrollably.

“Everything was Silas's fault”. She said in a whisper. ”If he had been more caring about my situation, they'd have been able to save our child's life”.

But he had been sleeping with my sister and ignored me. Even if he didn't know, he could have at least shown some concern for my condition.

What type of man did I marry? Gosh! How come I never knew Silas was capable of betraying me like this?

And my sister? Natasha was the last person I’d have expected such from.

Tears continued to roll down her cheeks and she didn't make a move to brush them away, she was too weak to do anything.

“How could the two of the most important people in my life betray me like this”?

“I'm sorry sir but you can't go in. This is a private ward and I have to ask you to leave,” she heard from outside the ward and her heartbeat picked up.

Could Silas be here to see her? She sat up and brushed her tears away, her heart eager to see him.

“Get out of my way, my wife is in there!” He yelled at whoever was stopping him.

At the sound of his voice, Nuella's heart skipped a beat. He was really there to see her.

A tear slid down her face as she thought about how he was probably there to apologize for his mistake.

The door was swung open and Silas breezed in followed by a nurse, one of the nurses that had shown up with the doctor earlier.

“I'm sorry ma'am but he insisted…” she started to explain but Nuella shook her head.

“It's okay, he's my husband.” Nuella explained weakly and the nurse relaxed.

She eyed Silas wearily and with a shake of her head, she left the ward.

“What are you doing here?” Nuella asked, glaring at Silas.

“I came to give you these,” he replied without skipping a beat.

Nuella gasped as he threw a stack of papers at her. “What is the meaning of this? Do you realize where we are?”

“Sign them and get out of my life. Your things are packed so I don't want to ever see you in my house again.”

Tears welled up in her eyes again. “I don't understand. What is this Silas?”

He ignored her and turned on his heels to leave the room. “Sign them and remember I don't want to ever see your face again.”

“Come back here Silas, Silas!” Nuella screamed as he slammed the door behind him but he didn't respond and neither did he walk back in.

When had he become a monster? He used to be so tender and loving towards her.

He hadn't even asked about their child. He hadn't cared that she was in the hospital, he hadn't shown any remorse for what he had done.

“Damn you Silas!” She swore and threw a pillow at the door. “I need to leave this place, I can't stay here any longer.”

Nuella sneaked out of the hospital and called her friend.

“I just pinged you my address, could you pick me up Dora?”

There was silence on the other end and Nuella had to check to make sure the call hadn't disconnected.

“What are you doing at the hospital?”

Nuella sighed. “Please just come pick me up Dora, I'll tell you everything when we see.”

“You better,”

****

“Start talking,” Dora ordered as she drove out of the parking lot with Nuella seated in the passenger's seat.

Nuella sighed and closed her eyes. “I need a drink and you'd need one too if you are going to hear about everything that happened.”

Dora frowned. “But you shouldn't be drinking. Weren't just at the hospital?”

Nuella shook her head. “I promise you I feel fine. Don't worry about me.”

Dora continued driving but it was obvious she didn't believe a word Nuella said.

“I need a stiff drink please Dora. I just want to forget,” she choked on a sob and Dora groaned.

“Alright fine but if I notice something strange I'm bringing you back here,”

“Thank you,”

Soon they arrived at the bar and Nuella ordered a tequila shot.

She had explained everything on the ride over and Dora was furious.

“A toast to singlehood.” she whispered and then chuckled.

Dora eyed her. “I can't believe that idiot did something so stupid. How could he and with Natasha?”

Nuella downed the shot and ordered another one. “I can't believe I was so blind.”

“He's the idiot for not treating you right.” Dora shot back and grinned as a thought popped into her head.

“What?” Nuella asked, already pretty drunk after taking four shots.

“The best way to get over a bastard like Silas is to get under someone else,” she giggled and Nuella shook her head.

“No, I'm not doing that. Besides how would it hurt Silas?”

“Hmm, you're right.” She was quiet for a while before speaking again. “Guess who just walked in?”

Nuella tried to spin around and she almost fell off the stool. “Who is that?” She asked once she had steadied herself.

“Kevin, the billionaire Bigshot just walked in,”

Nuella seemed unintended.

“Don't tell me you don't know who that is? He's Silas's uncle and a big name in the business world. That guy is filthy rich and of course the perfect way to get revenge on Silas while reaping some benefits too.”

“Hmm,” Nuella hummed but was too out of it.

“Nuella!”

“What?”

“I'll be going to the bathroom now, wait for me, alright.”

Dora walked away leaving Nuella at the bar. Nuella eyed the man Dora had been talking about and slid off the stool.

She staggered towards him and fell in his lap. “Hey handsome, will you marry me?” She asked, the words slurred because of how drunk she was.

“You're drunk,” Kevin replied, unfazed by her request. “Get me a glass of water for the lady,”

“Will you marry me Mr handsome?” Nuella asked again just as the water was brought.

Kevin smirked as he watched her. “Drink,”

She drank from it, some of it splashing on her body. “Will you take me home?” She asked holding her head. “I don't feel so good.”

He eyed her wordlessly for some time before sighing. “What’s your address?”

Nuella scrunched her face as she thought long and hard about it. “I don't know.” She replied looking genuinely confused.

Kevin sighed and picked her up. “Come on. I'll book a hotel room for you and then you can go back home tomorrow.”

***

“Help me with my clothes,” Nuella instructed Kevin and he sighed but did as she asked, unbuttoning her blouse for her.

He watched as she tossed it to the ground and gulped at the sight of her breasts hanging open.

Dear God, it had been way too long since he last had sex. His trousers got tighter and he coughed, looking away as he adjusted it.

“I should get going.”

Nuella staggered to her feet. “No, stay.” She rubbed herself against him and Kevin sighed. “Spend the night with me.”

He groaned as she pushed him down on the bed, his resolve cracked. When she sat on top of him, he knew he was a goner.

I woke up very early because yesterday I had prepared a lot of work ahead of the week, so I need to start working on it as soon as possible. And today was the perfect day to start.I woke up early and went straight into the bathroom; I brushed my teeth and had my bath. When I was done dressing up, I went downstairs for breakfast.“Good morning, Nuella,” I heard as I was adjusting my dress when I got to the dining room.I looked up, and it was Kevin; he was still dressed in his pajamas, and of course I wasn't shocked to see that because it was supposed to be a work-free day. He glanced at me like I was some sort of stranger who just walked into his mansion.“Good morning, Mr. Kevin,” I greeted him as I pulled a chair from the dining table and sat down.“Please ge

    Nuella's POVSeeing the both of them look miserable at that spot was relieving to me. This was only the beginning of their torment and living in hell. They should both get ready because I would never spare them!!!They were finally kicked out, and the crowd began to murmur. I saw some of them pointing their hands towards me while some were talking with their eyes. There was too much murmuring and gossiping happening at the same time, but I could only care less about what they were saying at the moment.“Thank you.” I appreciated Kevin for helping me out even though I was still a little upset with him for not showing up earlier and fighting for me.“You are welcome.” He replied to me in a calm tone as we walked towards the VIP area. We sat down in one of the reserved spots. There were a few minutes of silence from the both of us. He asked the waiter to serve us a glass of red wine. “Are you okay?” He asked me calmly.“Yes, I am.” I replied to him, shyly. “Okay, that's good to hear. I j

    Nuella’s POVHis words came as a surprise to me. A slut? Silas of all people knows how decent I am. I looked around and noticed that people were talking and gossiping already. I knew this was time for me to defend myself because if I don't do so now, that name and title of being a s*** and a murderer will keep flying around.“Hahaha,” I laughed. “So this was your plan all along, to act like a victim and ruin my name. Calling me a murderer and a s***, you? Silas, have you forgotten so soon that you were the first man in my life? And those that know me too well know that I don't flirt around like you. Who are you calling a s***? Or are you calling yourself out?” I questioned him.The attention on us kept on increasing. “You are just a weak and loose woman trying to get vindicated by your fellow whore.” Silas said to me.I was angry, and this was not a good time to back down from a fight. “You liar, you think I wouldn't know that you were not just cheating on me with my stepsister but al

    Nuella's POVNatasha was pushing me to the wall. I was controlling myself from doing something that will hurt her so bad because of her dad. This is not what he would have wanted from us. I stood up with poise, glared into her eyes with so much confidence, and told her, “Natasha Jones, hand me back my phone immediately.” The tone of voice was authoritative, and I could see the fear in her eyes.There were a few seconds of silence in the hall. Those that were observing us from when she came to me paused to hear what I wanted to say. Natasha was a little shaky, but she didn't want it to be too obvious.“What?” She asked me, surprisingly.“Did you just talk to me like that? Have you forgotten your place and whom you are talking to?” She kept on adding more questions to the ones she asked before now.“Of course I know who I'm talking to, or do you have a twin who talks, looks, and acts exactly like you?” I questioned her back, angrily. Natasha Jones, one of James Jones’s daughters, my ste
