Her Revenge

Untitled Episode2

Amelia Pov

I woke up by the side of the bed. Jude was still sleeping soundly. I wondered how he managed to sleep after everything he had done to me.

I walked toward the kitchen to make myself a coffee, my head still hurting from last night. Jude came out of the room as he walked past me without saying a word to me. I moved closer to him.

“ Can we talk?” I asked.

He looked at me from head to toe and asked

“ About what?? He asked.

“About last night”. I answered,

“Go through my lawyer if you have anything to say to me”. He answered and walked past me, slamming the door behind me.

“ Lawyer!!!” I murmured out loud as I stood and watched him walk out of the house.

I was unable to concentrate throughout the day. Even while working from home, it was so hard to focus.

I thought about what could have happened. Was he going through a difficult phase that I’m not aware of? Is this some kind of phase in the marriage, or maybe it is because we don't have a kid yet? I just couldn't have one reason why he did it.

It was getting late at night and Jude had not come home. I decided to make his favorite so we could discuss how to save our marriage.

I waited for hours, but I didn't see Jude coming home till sleep dozed me off.

*************************

I woke up on the Sofa chair the next day. I guess I must have slept there. I rushed to the room to check if Jude was there, but he wasn't, the food I made was still there. I did my daily house chores as usual and made breakfast for myself. After I was done for the day, I checked through social media on how to save your marriage. I learned a lot of things you can do to make your husband happy. I wanted to do everything to save my marriage.

I ordered sexy lingerie which I found on social media. I sent different messages to Jude pleading with him to come home. I called him several times, but he didn't pick up.

A few hours later, his message popped on my phone screen accepting me to come back home. I was so happy to see his message.

I prepared a romantic date and set the table with food, wine, and some roses around the corner of the table.

Not less than one hour I heard Jude's car horn in front of the house. I quickly rushed to the front door to greet him. We both had dinner, talked, laughed, and, of course, we had s*x.

**********************************

Waking up in the morning in the arms of Jude is all I had wished for forever. Jude was sleeping like a baby with his eyes closed and his mouth opened.

I pecked him on his forehead and went straight to the kitchen to make scrambled eggs with nopalito for breakfast.

I was still in the kitchen when Jude walked into the kitchen.

“ Good morning my king”, I greeted him with a bright smile on my face.

He walked past me without glaring at me. He poured some water out of the jug into the glass cup. After drinking, he was about to step out of the kitchen when he stopped, looked back, and replied.

“ When are you signing the divorce papers”. He asked.

The kitchen knife I was using fell from my hand, and the smile on my face faded away. I rushed toward where he was standing and held his hand.

“ Babe please you can't do this to me,” I said and continued, “ You can take your time to think about it again, I will be here waiting”. I added.

He slightly removed my hands and answered,

“ There is nothing to think about, I have been holding up for a long time now, and I think it is time to end it all”. He said

“ But I still love you”. I murmured loudly.

“ Love is not everything, can't you get it? He asked and continued.“ Look at yourself, what else do you have going in your life apart from being a married woman? I can't settle for less anymore”. He answered and walked away.

I gently sat on the floor and began to hit the back of my head on the wall. My eyes became so red, but I couldn't find tears. Now I began to blame my dad. Maybe if he hadn't blocked my chances of getting a job from other companies, I would have lived up to Jude's expectations.

***************************

Jude and I have not been talking much for a few weeks, we. We had become slightly strangers but living together under the same roof. Most times he doesn't come home and whenever he comes, all he says to me is about the divorce papers.

I was sitting and watching the news of the day when my phone rang.

“Hey Ferd,” I said.

“Hey sis” he answered from the other side of the phone and continued.

“ Are you busy?” He asked.

I know whenever Ferd asks this question, something is coming up. I took a deep sharp breath and replied.

“ Ferd, I do not have your time today”. I answered,

“Is this how you treat your younger brother? He asked and continued “ Now I’m hurting,” he said.

“ Okay! What is it?” I asked in surrender.

“ We have a new collection from Tiemar Tengene at the gallery” he answered.

“Oh really?” I asked.

Tiemar Tengene is my favorite drawing artist. I love her works, they are so captivating.

I breathed deeply as he laughed and continued.

“ Gina, right? He asked and continued “I get it, I will also be at the gallery in a few minutes”. He said.

Gina is the gallerist of the family art gallery.

“ Okay, I will be on my way”. I answered and hung up the call.

*******************************

I walked into the gallery, I was surprised to see Jude's car parked in the compound. What could he be doing here? I thought to myself as I walked into the display centers. I looked around, but I couldn't find Ferd. Maybe he was stuck in traffic, I assumed.

I decided to take a walk around. Nobody knew I was part of the grandchildren of the Wilson family. I walked on till I stumbled upon the manager's office.

“ Gina’s second home” I murmured silently.

I stood still in front of the office for a few seconds as I stared at the title written boldly on the top of the door. I was about to take a step forward when I heard a familiar voice.

“ I do not know why it is taking her forever to sign the divorce papers”. Said in a familiar voice.

“ Then force her!” answered Gina's voice and she continued.

“ You have to start going, my brother must not meet you here”. She said

I stood in shock. I didn't know if I should open the door or just leave. I was one hundred percent sure it was my husband's voice I heard. I was still thinking about what I should do when the door opened.

I saw my husband and my step-sister kissing and rubbing each other. I didn't even think about it before I grabbed Gina by her long hair and said at the top of my voice.

“You disgusting hole, how could you do this to your sister?” I said.

She dragged my hair in return and we were both fighting and shouting.

Suddenly, I felt a hand on me, it was Jude. He dragged my hand from Gina’s hair, standing between me and Gina, and pam it was a slap on my face.

I held my cheek with my left hand as I raised my head

“ Did you just slap me?” I asked, looking straight into his eyes. I knew I was slapped, but I needed to confirm if it wasn't a mistake.

“Yes, I did. He said and continued

“ I will slap you again if you don't take your worthless self out of this place” Jude answered.

I chucked as I bit my lower lip and slapped him on his face. I returned the same energy and said

“You want a divorce, right? You will get it”
