Anna's POV

What the hell was he talking about? Getting married to him right after his step brother broke my heart?

“I…I…” I stammered slowly and panicked about what exactly to respond kindly with. The door cracked open and the nurse walked in, she was dressed in pink scrubs and white Crocs, holding a file in her hand.

“Mr Xavier, the doctor wants to speak privately with you.” She said politely with a smile. I heaved a sigh of relief.

“I will be back soon.” Xavier said and with that, he left.

My phone rang loudly, it was Jessica calling. I shifted the drip rope and picked up the phone beside me.

“Hello girl! Where the hell are you? I heard about what happened and I'm in the hospital. But which ward? The nurse I met here is so saucy!” Jessica shrilled on the phone.

I let out a soft chuckle. “Room 406.” I responded without talking much. Not less than 10 minutes later the door sprang open and she rushed in and hugged me.

“What the ... .what actually happened?” She asked hastily.

I held her hands and smiled. “Michael served me divorce papers after I caught him with Sophie, his new secretary.” I responded amidst tears.

“I knew it! My haunches were right about that flirtatious husband of yours! He is a typical womanizer! But don't be sad, I'm here for you now.” Jessica said and hugged me tightly. I cried profusely on her shoulders.

“I’m going to kill that bastard! Son of a bitch!” Jessica added as she patted my back. We disengaged the hug and she helped me sit up on the bed.

“He cheated on me and somehow made it look like it was my fault Jessica.” I said in tears.

“If he didn't have his dad's connection and stupid mom's support, I'm not sure it's going to be like this! He'll probably be cleaning toilets for a living.” Jessica rolled her eyes.

“I don't know, maybe I'm just a piece of trash! Who loves her husband so much. I gave him my every month’s earnings from my salary.” I sniffed looking away from her and wiping my tears which kept rolling down uncontrollably.

“Hey! Will you stop that? You're one of the most resourceful bitches I know. And you're gonna be back on your feet in no time.” Jessica assured me.

“Thank you so much Jessy. You really relieved me.” I smiled.

“Hello everyone, today, we are having a recap of our last interview with the CEO of the Berol cooperation company.” The newscaster announced and we turned to television.

“He is no other but the latest and greatest entrepreneur on the block, Mr Xavier Rolland.” The reporter continued. My eyes widened as I watched the news keenly to be sure of what exactly I just heard.

“He Is 29 and he has already started an investment firm, which has successfully financed some of the most popular new businesses all over the world by cooperating with them. Thanks for joining this meeting Mr Xavier.” The reporter finished and who I saw on the screen next to her made my head spin. What the f**ck!

“What's wrong? Is anything the matter?” Jessica asked, I shoved her hand aside, my eyes stuck on the television.

“My pleasure.” Mr Xavier responded in a very calm and charismatic way.

“My first question for you Mr Xavier is, how is someone like you, still single?” The reporter asked.

“Uhh, well when you work as hard as I do it's just so difficult to find time for all that stuff.” Xavier smiled.

“Yeah right! But there must be someone…you've got your eyes on though.” The reporter laughed.

“Well, I would be lying if I said there wasn't someone special in my life that I love right now. Maybe one day.” He finished with a charming smile.

“Oh my goodness Anna! Did you see that? This guy is super handsome. I bet all the ladies would be drooling over him always!” Jessica shouted in excitement. But my mind was still hanging.

“Xavier?” I exclaimed with my mouth ajah.

“You know him?” Jessica asked in shock.

“Yes! Actually, that's Michael's…” I was still talking when the door opened immediately. And Micheal walked into the hospital room majestically. My heart flinched.

“Flirt! What the hell are you doing here!?” Jessica yelled at him covering me up and standing in-between us.

“Get out of my way!” He yelled, yanking her off.

“Well…well…well… look who we have here! Almighty divorced Ex-wife! So what? Look how innocent your face looks and I really want to snatch one more kiss from those lips but guess what? It's my past, rotten past!” Micheal said straight to my face. I bent down, my head foaming in anger.

“What did you want?” I asked as calmly as I could.

“Oh! Nothing serious…just to check whether you're dead or still alive. Who the hell saved you huh? You're supposed to die for trying to poison yourself! Now just so you know, your filthy things are just outside waiting for you. Whenever you're done here, go to the waste bin to take your things.” He mocked in laughter. He grabbed my arm roughly and jerked my chin up with his hands.I struggled with him.

“Let her go!” Jessica shouted and pushed him to the floor. He stood up and landed a dirty slap on Jessica's cheeks. Jessica fell to the ground and rushed back to me.

“Michael! Get your fucking hands off her!” Someone said from behind. It was Xavier.
