The Secret Heiress Revenge

Chapter 5

Leonard’s POV:

I woke up and smelt myself and felt gross.How would I have drank and forgotten to clean myself before going to bed. I felt a slight headache and was not feeling quite okay;from the way my body had aches.But why would I have drank to the extent of being drunk.

At first I could not remember what I had done the previous day. I could not believe that I drove myself home back drunk .How could I be reckless like that? I noticed that Cherry was not on the bed with me. I checked my watch and saw that it was already 10:25 am in the morning.

“Oh no! I am already late to work.” I yelled out . I decided that I would have to skip work that day.Cherry would be downstairs by then preparing breakfast. I had to go and eat. I was so famished. I guess it was the effect of the alcohol. I went to the bathroom to shower before going downstairs for breakfast .

One of my maids had already resumed work. I went to the dining table in expectation of my food.To my surprise, I saw the dining table empty.

“Melissa!” I shouted out of annoyance.

The maid came in running; “Sir you called”

“Where is my food?”My face was already covered up with annoyance.

“Mrs Cherry has not yet woken up.She has not yet given me orders on serving the food.And with the look of things,I don’t think she has prepared breakfast at all.” She said.

I was looking all surprised because Cherry wakes up very early in the morning every day to prepare breakfast for me.

And why would she not have woken up very early in the morning to prepare breakfast for me.Where could she had gone so early in the morning.

“Where did she go?”I asked.

“I don’t know sir. I have not seen her today.” I guess that was one of her tricks to get back at me by not preparing me breakfast. I stormed out of the dining table and headed straight into the room and went to get my phone to call her because I could not understand why she would act that way .

I had forgotten where I dropped my phone and my gaze faced the table in our bedroom and saw the phone.As I went to the table, I saw the divorce papers I had given her without it being in the file that it was kept. I took a look at it and saw that she had signed it.

“What?” I was shocked. “She signed it”I said out.But why would she sign it?Was she not the one protesting to not want a divorce. I took my phone that I had been looking for to contact her to revoke the divorce.

I was sure that I was not going to get a divorce with her in any way. I dialed her number severally and she was not picking.”What could be going on?Who could have poisoned her mind to sign the divorce paper?”I said to myself in panic.

She had no close friend I could call to ask for her whereabout.Her mother had died a month after our wedding and there was no way she had any person she could relate with because I had already stopped her from associating with people.The only people she talked with were my friend’s wives and that was whenever we go out for an event.

I just fell back on the bed to stay calm because that was what I needed to do to just think properly. I reasoned really hard on what had happened previously.

FLASHBACK:

“Sir,with the test we have carried out, I am so sorry to tell you that you have testis cancer.The only means that could be done for you to get cured is for you to go for Chemotherapy.

The doctor said to me looking dismay.My body could not accept the news I had heard. I was already scared at that moment .

“Do you think I would be cured entirely?” I asked.He looked at me with a disappointing eye.

“I don’t think the Chemotherapy would give you full assurance of getting totally healed.But it is still better to get a chemotherapy.”He still continued to give me another facial expression that seemed suspicious.

“Is there anything you still have to tell me.”I asked.

“It is unfortunate that we may either have to cut away your testis or remove your sperm cells during surgical and chemotherapy procedure.” I was shocked at what was happening to me.

I did not know what I could do.Does that mean I would not be able to have a child?Who would be the heir of my wealth?How will I tell Cherry about my situation.What if she gets to know and exposes my secret to the public?

I would not want anyone to know about my secret because of the kind of man I am to the society.Even if she does not do that, I would not want her to be childless because of me.I guess I would have to end this marriage so she would not be bound and childless because of me.

PRESENT TIME:

I had saw the cloth I wore the previous day and I began to remember the scenes I had done at my drunken state.

“What?” I screamed out.Why will I do such a thing to Cherry.Why would I have violated her? I felt so stupid at the time I remembered what I had done the previous night to her. I guess that would have been the reason she had signed the divorce papers.

My conscience was no longer at peace at that period of time . I went to the police to report to them that I was looking for Cherry but they could not find her. I sought for her from different places but I could not find her.

I realized that there was no need for a divorce yesterday after leaving the house and visiting the doctor yesterday.The doctor confirmed it that there was no use of me to go for a Chemotherapy.He said that I was given the wrong result for another patient.He told me that I was diagnosed wrongly ; that all I just had was a random testis ache and that was due to wrong sitting position.

I don’t think I could forgive myself for what I had done to Cherry even though it was done from a drunken state. I felt guilty and wanted to apologize and get her back but I don’t know where she had gone to.

Suddenly as I was ruminating about my problems, I heard a knock on my office door; “Yeah,please enter.”The door opened and to my surprise,It was Vivian.

“Good morning,dear.”she walked towards me to give me a peck with which I resisted.

“What are you doing here?” I asked out of annoyance from what I was going through.

“Don’t you miss me?Come on ,I saw the way you were looking at me at that party.”She said with an irritating smile.

“Vivian,please can you leave. I have got some important things to do and I am not in the mood right now.”She held on to the collar of the jacket of my suit.

“Don’t ignore me,Leonard.You would regret it.”I removed her hands off my jacket and looked into her eyeballs feigning annoyance.

“Don’t you understand all I had said at the night of the party enough or you are just proving to be adamant.”

“Leonard,are you just going to dispose me just like that” she scoffed. ”You just treat me like this.Do you know I had to leave my modeling deal I had gotten in London just to come back for you.”she continued.

“Why are you playing victim out of a sudden?Did you not just date me only for my money and then left me later on after using me.”

“What?”she laughed. “So you prefer to be with that tramp rather than I.Have you not got any taste at all,Leonard?”

“Don’t you ever call my wife a tramp?”I said out of aggression.”Please just leave my office right now before I lose my mind.” I said assertively.

“I am not going anywhere,Leonard. I deserve to be your wife.You can’t send me away just like that.” I took my phone and called the security to come to my office while she sat still being reluctant to leave.

Two of my security men came into the office and I was so eager to send her out of my office. “Here she is,take her out of my office . I want her out of here this instant?”

“Are you really doing this to me,Leonard. I would make you pay for it.”The security men tried to drag her out of the office but she ordered them not to lay their hands on her.

“Let go of me. I can help myself out don’t touch me.”She eventually left my office.
