HEART ACHE
Alice and Chris’s wedding in a stunning beachfront villa in Malibu was the culmination of a whirlwind romance. Alice, a self-made tech mogul, was at the peak of her career when she met Chris, a charming architect with a disarming smile. Their wedding was a lavish affair, a testament to their shared success and undeniable chemistry. However, shortly after the wedding, Alice made a significant decision: she decided to step away from her demanding career to become a full-time housewife, transferring significant assets and properties into Chris’s name as a gesture of unwavering trust and love.
The initial months were blissful, filled with the promise of a new chapter. But as time passed, a subtle shift occurred. Chris, once attentive and affectionate, became increasingly distant. His work hours grew longer, his explanations less convincing, and his presence in their shared life diminished. The once vibrant conversations were replaced by strained silences, the comfortable intimacy replaced by a growing emotional distance. Alice, accustomed to independence and control, found herself increasingly isolated and adrift in a life that had lost its purpose. The very act of transferring her assets, intended to solidify their bond, now felt like a betrayal, a symbol of her naive trust and his growing detachment. The opulent setting of their life together, once a source of joy, now felt like a gilded cage, trapping her in a marriage that was slowly unraveling. The once-promising fairytale was fading, leaving Alice to confront the painful reality that her sacrifice had not secured the love and partnership she had so deeply desired.
Alice spends her whole days inside her room, she would only come out once in a while to refill the food stuff she had originally put in her room.
She was trying to take in all that had happened for the past few years , how she became a slave to Chris her husband, letting him use her as a bunching bag..... looking back she realises how stupid she was, to let her whole world revolve around a man
" well I'm giving myself a new life" she sighed as she exited the room after thinking for a long time..... obviously heading to the mall.
just when she was about to the express leading to the mall her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.... as at the same time a car some metres ahead was coming at fool speed, she breathed in knowing she was helpless and prepared self for what comes next.
just when she thought everything had ended for her she was carried by a pair of strong hands what's "wrong with you "
he scolded Alice " I don't know my legs went weak" she cried bitterly on his chest it felt like she was letting everything go into the air she didn't dare to look at the man on whose shoulder she was crying on " ma'am i need to be on my way now" he said no sign of pity in his tone She reluctantly let go. falling to the ground. she could hear the footsteps of the stranger walking away.... she picked up her phone to dial a number, the one she knew was cheating on her with some girl out there but he didn't pick, he didn't even bother to call her for a whole two years neither did he bother to ask why she moved in to her old apartment her heart cracked more, when her legs let her she hailed a taxi and headed to the mansion where her husband now stays.
******** ******** ******
Alice arrived at the gate of the mansion, she didn't care if she ends up fighting with her husband today, all she knew was she wanted to give him a piece of her mind she found the front door locked so she took out her spare key and open the back door leading to the kitchen, she dropped her bag on the refrigerator and headed for their room...... but before she could enter she heard the voice of her
step sister who she saw as her best friend in the world, she became curious and stood at the closed door to listen
"hmmm, she is and can never be as sweet as you are in bed..... that's why i never bother making love with her, I love you so much" her husband's voice echoed. " I know sweet heart...I know you won't have married that fool if I didn't say thank you for having revenge for me " Bella moaned
Alice knew what they were doing so she didn't bother staying any longer because she feared she would have a heart attack soon. she picked up her bag and headed out in a dramatised state.
she, for the first time in her life she headed to a bar .....her heart ached
"what would you have" the bar tender asked politely
" anything strong" she wiped her tears
"here you go" he handed her a glass of alcohol which she drank in one go she demanded for another to another until she was a total mess ......she put her head to rest it on the desk after some time her attention was drawn to .................
