Chapter 5

Taking a final look at Alessa, Bryan walked out of the ward leaving her in tears. Alessa burst into another round of tears and cried loudly.

Everything kept getting worse the moment she thought it would get better. What is she supposed to do? Where is she supposed to go? She was so sure her parents wouldn't accept her back.

She was also sure they would have heard the news.

Dr. Wells walked back into the room, Alessa hurriedly wiped her tears as she looked up at him.

He gave her a look but Alessa forced a smile.

“I am really sorry about this ma’am. If there is anything I can do to help, I will.” He said and Alessa nodded.

He is their family doctor, he isn't a stranger so he knows a lot.

“Can you get me a ride?” She asked and sniffed.

“Of course, ma’am.”

Alessa sat in the car and watched the chauffeur drive and at the same time, she was fighting her tears. She was in the car the doctor arranged for her and as dumb as it sounds, she was heading to Bryan’s mansion.

For the last time, she just wanted to try her luck. If she can talk to Bryan, she could plead with him and he might accept her back.

She arrived at the mansion and got out of the car, she watched the car drive off before proceeding to enter.

As she got to the gate, she was stopped by the security.

“I’m sorry ma’am. Mr. Hart asked me not to let you in again. He also dropped this saying they were your only belongings.” He said as he handed her her phone and purse.

With trembling hands, Alessa slowly took them.

“Can you please let me in?” She asked as tears welled up in her eyes again. The security was about to respond but he was interrupted by a voice.

It was Lydia’s voice. She showed up and Alessa felt a lump in her throat. The security bowed and walked away leaving both of them.

“Do you want anything? The last time I checked, you don't live here anymore and you are supposed to be at least five feet away from this mansion.” She said proudly.

Alessa nodded as she ignored everything she said. All she wants is to see Bryan.

“I want to see Bryan. Can you please tell him I am here?” She asked, trying so hard to not make the tears drop and her voice cracking.

“I don't think Bryan wants to see you, he made the rule himself.” She replied with a smile and Alessa nodded.

Forcefully, she wanted to make her way in but Lydia pushed her roughly and she fell.

“Tch. So pathetic. You should accept it bitch. You have no place in this house anymore. You lost and I won. Now, get off this property before I get the guards to throw you out.” She threatened and closed the gate before walking away.

Alessa sniffed as she slowly got off the floor, she didn't know what hurt more. The bruise on her arm or the pain in her heart.

It really was over, she lost Bryan and everything.

She had nowhere else to go except a place, her parent's house. She knows they won't accept her but she could at least try.

With the last dollar bill in her purse, she took a cab to her parent’s house.

She arrived and headed to the front door. Just as she was about to press the doorbell when she got to the front door, the door opened revealing her mother.

“Mum.” Alessa called softly.

She had a stern look on, it was obvious the news about her divorce had already gotten to them.

“And what are you doing here?” She asked.

“I… I... “ Alessa stuttered as she thought of what to say.

“Do you know the news trending in the city right now?” She asked and folded her arms.

“The news about your divorce is what is trending right now. Everyone in the city knows about it. The Harts cut your father off in every business deal they had, you have ruined our family.”

“Mum, I’m sorry. I didn't... “

“I don't want to hear it. Until you settle with your husband, you are not welcome here. You are a disgrace Alessa. You have always been a disgrace.” She said and Alessa started to cry.

“Please, let me in. I have nowhere to go, I really don't know where to go. Please, mum.”

“Don't call me mum. I am not your mother.” She snapped at Alessa and she flinched.

“We took you in and raised you, the least you could do is stay married and we stay rich but you just couldn't because you are nothing but a failure.”

Alessa whimpered as she watched her mother insult her.

“You don't have a home here, get out.”

Immediately, Alessa fell to her knees.

“Please let me in. I’m pregnant.” She cried and her mother scoffed.

“Go to hell with it!” She cursed and slammed the door in her face.

Alessa froze as the realization hit her.

She really has nowhere to go! No one to turn to!

She has nothing and she is pregnant!

She started to panic and cry, she got up and breathed heavily as she made her way out of the house.

She tried to stay calm but all the hurtful words said to her came rushing in. She was glad it was dark, no one could see her crying.

She made her way to the streets and looked around. Her tears kept falling, she had no idea of what to do.

It all happened so fast. Twenty-four hours ago she was a wife to a billionaire but now, she is nothing!
