THE EX - WIFE'S RECKONING CHAPTER 64
“Are you the attached cleaner for today?”“Yes, ma.. sir.”The average height man in a white coverall coat that went a little below his knee, raised his brow rhetorically, his eyes shot a piercing glance, while he sent his hands to the side pockets of the coat. On the left side of the coat, just directly to his heart, is written MD. Derek.“Suspend cleaning the hallway, head over to the Intensive Care Unit, Ward 2 and clean it up, real quick.” Before Naomi could separate her lips in response, he had taken four steps away.Her shoulders dropped, and the momentum she had gathered to ask a question.Thank goodness, I didn't blurt that suspicious trash. She thought.Her legs moved two steps ahead of her brain in a reflex. She suspected that the doctor was related to her mother’s case. But so unsure to say.She stepped into a door that had the earlier inscription boldly written above its doorpost, “ICU WARD 2”.She pushed the door open, only to find a cardavass covered head to toe with a

AUTHOR’S POV:Sometimes, we never know how much we need the sun till it's burning low. Till darkness covers, leaving every nook and cranny of our insides numb like nothingness. Creating an endless vacuum that nothing can fill.This is not about the sun, you know.BACK TO OUR STORY!“This is the most crappy risk I am about taking for a woman who can not move a spec dust for me if I were to be in her shoes.” Naomi breathed, heaving heavily.“I don't understand how your mom… I mean, like, I.. I..” raises both shoulders, alongside her hands, holding her bare palms facing the ceiling.“Okay, this sounds insensitive, but why would you allow anyone to reach your line over the phone? You could be tracked down easily.” Clara said, looking away, feeling a little uneasy with her complaint, which only came from a place of concern.“My documents are interconnected to that mobile line. I can't easily…” Heaves heavily, then lowers her voice to continue.“I'm sorry, Naomi. I didn't mean to trigger yo
THE EX - WIFE'S RECKONING CHAPTER 62
Now, life has become a little complex and better. A couple of days ago, she had screamed at the top of her lungs inside a shopping mall, the moment she stumbled on a stranger sitting on her face when she met her reflection in the mirror.An easy life came from the fact that despite the embarrassment that called attention to everyone, no one could recognise her. No flickers of camera lights on her, no stalking by journalists. Now, this is freedom away from how she had usually wrapped her face with mufflers or nose masks to hide her identity from the press.Still, everything felt south. A cold distance between accepting her new looks and the looks she had lived with for over 23 years of her life kept meddling with her every night's rest. “Hey, Girl. You still mad at me for concocting such a plan?”“Yes, Clara. I am mad at you. I mean, is that how to repay all the good he did for us? Especially picking you up from the roadside, halfway through death!”Her body quivered uncontrollably.“

The devil doesn't bargain. He only steals it all.At first, it was a rosy, sweet fragrance, then it all turned into flames. Life has been nothing short of sweet bitterness.One time, she was jumping everywhere, living the best life, and the next moment came the wilderness. Nothing was darker than the pure torture she had been subjected to; finally, even the dark charcoal glistens when a source of light flashes on it. But for Naomi's everyday? Nothing was exciting. Nothing.She had cried herself to sleep on the wheelchair she had been depending solely on for support, since Clara is under close watch by a good Samaritan who found her by the roadside, halfway between life and death.Like he had narrated earlier, he couldn't just drive past a woman in that perturbing state, regardless of the risk of losing his license to practice medicine.The door slammed, and Naomi jerked from her sleep.“My bad. I didn't mean to disrupt your good sleep, T.C.” A rough but sweet tenor voice apologised, w

Nothing heals the past like time. But some wounds don't heal quickly, or their healing process moves like a running tortoise, marking its territories in every sane corner of the mind, soul and body, defeating sanity, and detailing its scars that open up each time it remembers that night. The night when they locked the world away. That night, where thighs kissed, two hearts beat as one in a heat of passion and touch.Each faded memory came crawling in like it all happened a few seconds ago; again, it burnt off, just like his gut was burning with regrets and anger. The anger of losing the opportunity to experience fatherhood, due to the carelessness of one person. His jaw ticked whilst his teeth ground hard against each other. He relaxed into his office chair, rocking it like a pendulum bulb, left to right and back.“Hi, hunnie.” A familiar voice pushed open the door on short notice without a knock.His heart melted at the sight of a bump that sat on her belly. But a part of him fought
THE EX - WIFE'S RECKONING CHAPTER 59
Natasha and his fiancé raised a glass in cheers inside their favourite limousine, celebrating victory at last. It will be a great plus as the world will bow at their feet, for leading the break in the saturated and boring fashion industry. How about Natasha? Her parents will be too proud to contend the joy of having their surnames crested in the sands of time. A movement they had failed at due to the foolishness of one man who gave up his life for a piece of fabric he could have easily handed over and got his lucky break in cash.Lucky stars! The search is over.The limousine pulled over in front of a bungalow in a non-residential area.“We're here, Darling. You'll finally meet that piece of shit and get what you deserve.” She brought her chest to meet his shoulder. But his body responded quite the opposite, jerking away.Her mood dropped, but her smile stood solid, but without life.She stood up, half bent, and made for the door which had been held open by one of her escorts.She

“Miss Carmen, you still have 24 hours to think this decision through. You may want to retain your true identity or take a different one. While this is impossible to reverse, do reach through the policies, risk, social post trauma that may conflict within you and sometimes, it may tamper with your true self-esteem.”The plastic surgeon raised his brow to form an arc, throwing a neutral but concerning gaze at Naomi, then to Clara and back to Naomi, signalling with a nod at Clara to do the talking with her friend.“You may want to go through those documents beside you again. Once you arrive at a decision, you can call my attention with a dial.” he flickered his eye to where a telephone was seated on the wall, right beside the patient's bed, brought his eye back to the duo who were seated, upright, and continued, “so we can proceed with signing the documents where necessary.” He let out a mild smile that didn't stretch a single muscle around his mouth, and turned on his heel and left the

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!The heart rate indicator kept a constant hike and fall, drawing irregular patterns of green, yellow and red. The fatal car accident victims were admitted into the same hospitals, but in separate units. One, in the Intensive Care Unit, and the other, in the intensive cold unit, where the brave people who have taken a leap off the borderline between life and death are laid. Maybe choosing death over life, voluntarily or involuntarily, they were all welcome to the cold room.Bandages were wrapped round the victim, head to toe, leaving no traces of of life in the body that laid like a log of wood, plugged to oxygen support, with numerous cables fixed on the chest, with both legs were raised and suspended on a bandage that hung from an extended silver like pole from the sick bed which the body rested.“We had transferred the victim from the Accident and Emergency Unit to the Intensive Care Unit down the hallway. Our nurses will guide you.” The doctor explained, si

Clara: “It's been a year plus, but still, I haven't quite found the right words to express how stupid I feel each day for putting my insecurities and my selfish desires first, over the friendship we once shared. I don't have the best words to tender my apologies, but I can make things right this time, I promise. My heart sinks into despair each time it throbs about the incident that almost claimed your life. Since then, I haven't been myself. I am not asking for too much, Naomi, I will take care of your bills, to my place here in China, and back. I have heard about everything going south in your life, please don't say no. Give me this one more chance to make things right, Naomi. I know, I don't deserve it.”Naomi skimmed through the text she had received from her long-lost Judas and friend, the umpteenth time. Still in doubt and relish. Her heartbeat told a story of the pain she had subjected herself to over a man who didn't catch a glimpse of her ideal kind of man.Every breat
