Love Me Again, Dear Ex Wife!

Chapter 4:

Lyra;

The room was quiet yet again, until Vanessa decided to blurt out, “What?”

Like she cares, I can bet that in her mind, she was probably jubilating that she was finally going to have a chance at William. Whatever she wished to do with him wasn’t my problem, as long as we weren’t together anymore.

I ignored her and waved my hands up in the air, “I’m feeling kind of dizzy, if you guys will excuse me, I would prefer if you all leave. I’m feeling uncomfortable with my room being crowded.”

Everyone, especially William, was in shock. They couldn’t utter a single word. He would wonder what happened to his perfect girlfriend who tried all her best to satisfy and make him happy.

“I’ll go first.” He stood up from the chair awkwardly and in shame, then he stared at me for a brief second before concluding, “I’ll call you when I get home,”

He gave me this sad look as though I was the evil one here. I didn’t respond to him but instead glared at him on his way out. He hugged Vanessa tightly before finally leaving the room. The hug was brief, but it held some kind of secrets between. How come I never noticed this in my past life?

Whenever William was on his way out and met Vanessa with me, he would hug her briefly. I never took it for anything since it was just a friendly hug but little did I know that there was more to it.

Vanessa flashed him a reassuring smile before the door finally banged close. I breathed out in relief the moment he was gone. The hatred I had for him knew no bounds and being in the same room as him was choking.

“You can all leave, I’ll talk to her. She’s probably still feeling sick.” Vanessa’s voice jolted me from my thoughts and before I could oblige, Father and Maddie were already on their way out.

My eyes never left her perfectly slim body that walked towards me with a plastered smile on her face until she finally sat beside my bed.

“You love William,” She began with a tone full of deceit. She probably wanted me dead right now. I was irritated, I couldn’t believe I trusted the deceitful woman and she fooled me into thinking that she was the best friend I never had. Father and Maddie knew that we were inseparable and I did everything in my power to satisfy her so she wouldn’t have to leave me behind since I had no friends.

Then she grabbed my hands slowly, tapping it with reassurance, “You just need some rest and you’ll come back to your right senses, you can’t break up with William. Remember when you would always tell me how you badly wanted him to be the father to your baby?” She said while chuckling lightly.

I was impressed. This was on another level of acting. If I wasn’t reborn, I would have never believed that she could do such a thing to me.

I snatched my hands away from hers rashly and she was taken back. She fluttered her eyelashes in shock but immediately covered it up with a smiling façade.

“What happened?” she tried forcing up a smile even though she was dissatisfied that jabbed my hands away from hers.

“The thing is; I don’t want to see you anymore. Your face irks me out and makes me want to puke.” I had no ounce of pity in my words and I don’t care what she was about to say.

“What?” she blurted in disbelief.

But I was quiet, not intending to say a word to her.

“If you will please excuse me, I would like to have some rest.” Then I turned on the bed and ignored her.

She scoffed and violently grabbed my shoulder, wanting me to face her.

“What did you just say?” her eyes flashed with anger and I was fascinated. This was the first time I saw her get this angry. I guessed I never saw this side of her before but it didn’t shock me at all given that I already saw the evil part of her when I was being killed by her and the man I called my husband.

“We are never going to stop being friends, we promised that we would die and get buried together.”Her expression changed to being an innocent lady who couldn’t kill a fly.

I scoffed at her foolishness, “Promises fail, Vanessa. Besides, what if I say I don’t want anything to do with you or William anymore?”

She gritted her teeth in anger, trying to subsidize her anger but it wasn’t working.

“If you’ll excuse me, I’d love to have a nap.” I whispered, pointing at the door, indicating for her to leave.
