HIS BROKEN EX-WIFE

Broken Cinderella

Nina

My hears hurts…

Holding my head, it seemed like the whole place was going around in circles. It was getting too crowded and difficult for me to breathe.

Why does it hurt so much? I held my head.

“I think we should go Nina, I’m having a bad feeling about this place.” Faintly I heard the voice and I was glad seeing Neth coming back.

Heavily, I spoke forcing the words out my mouth. “I don’t feel too good Neth, my head hurts.”

“Did you take anything?” Worry plea her tone as she hurriedly came to my side. I pushed my head on her shoulders leaving in for support before answering her question.

“I only had a fruit punch which Daniel gave me.” I heard her sighing out heavily.

“And where is Daniel? What kind of a boyfriend leaves his girlfriend alone in such a party, I told you that it was a bad idea coming here Nina, but you just had to have your way." I could tell that she was annoyed, and I couldn’t blame her either. She had quickly picked our bags before announcing. “We’re leaving Nina.”

“What about Daniel? He won’t be happy if we leave him.” I could barely even see things properly and I was thinking of waiting for Daniel.

“Are you going with me or not Nina?” She had already gotten up and I held onto my head feeling the pounding headache playing with my brain cells.

Daniel won’t be happy. I had promised him that I would stay until the party was over and he also said that he had a special surprise for me too ….I bit my lips with my eyes closed.

“Fine you can stay here, but if anything happens to you I’m not going to take the blame and I hope that boyfriend of yours finds you soon.” Neth was clearly angered with my choice of still wanting to stay. It wasn’t a secret that she never liked Daniel from the start.

Once she left, I soon started regretting my decision of wanting to stay behind. I ruffled through my bag in search for my phone….I twitch my head upwards, welcoming my gaze to the familiar figure.

“Hey babe! I’m really sorry for leaving you, something important happened and it needed my urgent attention.” His cologne drifted into my nostrils and it had me feeling a bit protected knowing that I wasn’t alone.

“I want to go home Dan, I’m not feeling too fine. My head hurts.” I hazed my eyes at him and I smiled softly seeing the worried look on his face.

Softly he kissed my temple. “It’s pretty late and it’s a long drive back to your place Babe. I know the person hosting the party, so why don’t we spend the night here instead? and beside you haven’t seen my surprise yet.” He was playful with his tone, that I couldn’t even see through those many expression he paraded.

I hummed lowly. Thought I didn’t know the people hosting the party, I did trust Daniel, I knew he won’t hurt me. We have been dating for two years now and he was the perfect boyfriend.

Hearing the clicking of the door which led to the room, my throat bubbled, were I gulped, finally realizing something. Daniel and I was going to share a room and spend the night together too? My face immediately turned flushed.

“Hey careful.” He quickly wrapped his hands around my shoulders. He held me steady on the ground were I almost lost my balance from the spinning headache and the thought that we would be sharing a room.

I didn’t want to be that girlfriend, and start up making excuses, thought I knew that I wasn’t going to be comfortable with his presence in the room. Daniel and I hadn’t gone further other than sharing a kiss and I wasn’t looking forward in blurring the lines.

He helped me to the bed, were I took a seat. I managed to have my eyes scaling through the place. It was an ordinary room, nothing special about it-

“Why don’t you take a bath? It will make you feel better.” I heard Daniel’s suggestion and my heart had paced up with his words.

I pressed my lips into a narrow line…I didn’t want too and perhaps he had seen through my hesitation and it had him exhaling deeply.

“Why are you acting like I’m going to do something to you Nina? You know that I’m not that kind of person and why do you still think that way?” I felt his eyes focused on me and I couldn’t even meet his gaze. I didn’t say anything and only pressed hard on my fingers.

I was keeping mute and I knew he wouldn’t like it.

“Why do you always feel insecure when we’re close Nina? I didn’t force this relationship on you and sometimes when you act like this, like I’m some kind of r****t, it’s quite annoying.”

I still didn’t pipe a word.

“Would you f*****g say something Nina!”

I immediately had my eyes shut and my body jerked at the loudness of his voice. I don’t even know why I’m acting like this.

“Don’t yell at me Daniel…I’m tired.” I said to him and with the spinning pain from my head, I heaved my glossy eyes at him to have him know that I wasn’t in a mood to argue. I clearly saw how his features was ripping with anger, he even had his hands balled into a fist.

I should have listened to Neth and left with her.

Weakly I told. “If you’re going to act like this, I might as well call my driver to pick me up-”

“Don’t f*****g give me that crappy daddy’s girl attitude of yours Nina!” He yelled again.

“I said don’t raise your voice at me Daniel.” I managed to find my feet to the ground. I hated it when people yelled at me, My Dad never raised his voice at me and I won’t be giving someone that opportunity either. “Why are you trying to make some argument out of this? You know that you’re the first boy which I have been around with and you know that I’m still a virgin and I’m still insecure-” He still didn’t allow me complete my statement, when he cursed at me.

“f**k you and your virginity Nina, you’re acting as if you’re the first girl to have a boyfriend and the first person to be a virgin? You’re speaking like it’s some kind of achievement being a virgin.” I wasn’t able to recognize Daniel that moment and it had me questioning him.

“Did you drink Daniel?” I must have missed it because I was too concentrated on my headache. He drank liquor…. And the thought had me quivering. Dad told me to stay away from boys who drank and I never tagged Daniel as someone who took liquor.

He smiled devilishly at me. He had his fingers weaving through his hair before uttering. “So what if I f*****g drink some alcohol? Are you scared? Is daddy’s princess scared?” I didn’t like the tone he was using on me and I didn’t like the way he was acting out of character either.

He leaned his face closer to mine, I gulped, having my eyes shut.

“I have been patient Nina, and trust me I have. Taking your crappy bullshit and that of your father’s. I only took it from you both because you were rich. I mean who wouldn’t want to have the famous Alders daughter as his girlfriend? But I didn’t know that you were such a pain in the ass Nina.” He was breaching the personal space between us, and it was getting hard for me to breathe.

“Daniel!” I threw a brutal slap across his face hoping that it would be enough to bring back his senses. The collision of my hand with his face echoed through the room and it had him stepping back a bit.

There was a short silence between us.

“I want to go home.” I picked my hand bag, ready to leave. I had reached the door when I heard his voice.

“I’m sorry Nina. I don’t know what came over me.” He soon rushed over to where I stood. He held my hand but I quickly broke the contact, pushing my eyes up to meet his.

“I think we both know what came over you Daniel. You said that you don’t drink, but you actually drink and you were not acting yourself too.”

“I didn’t want to tell you this but….your father….he…” he was a bit hesitant in speech and I quickly caught onto something.

“My father what Dan.”

He shook his head. “No I shouldn’t..” He moved away from me walking back into the room and I swiftly match my footsteps with his.

“What did my father say to you Daniel.” It was having me irritated. My father never liked Daniel from the beginning.

“He said that I was wasting my time, that he won’t allow us get married Nina.” He sat on the bed where I followed suit. He faced me, tears pooling around his eyes. He picked up my hand. “I’m really scared of losing you Nina. I can’t see my life without you Nina…”

For a moment I didn’t know what to say, but finally I found my voice. “It’s my life Daniel and my father isn’t the one whose going to marry you, I’m the one. I will be the one to decide the kind of life partner I want not him.”

“We both know how your father can be….I think there’s only one way, where he won’t be able to tear us apart.” Daniel held my face, bringing it closer to his, and faintly I breath in the alcohol lacing withing him.

“Let’s take things more serious between us and once he sees that, he won’t tear us apart anymore….” His lips brushed against mine and a shudder broke down on me.

Barely I was able to whisper his name. “Daniel…”

“… don’t say anything Nina…let’s make this official between us.”

The next thing which happened, I couldn’t quite remember. He laid me on the bed, where anticipation filled my eyes…it was my first time doing this.

Layer by layer, he removed my clothes before he proceeded to remove his.

“Breathe Nina, you trust me right?”

“I do.”

“Just breathe for me.”

Painfully I moaned out, feeling his invasion which was big and it had me hurting like hell. I did trust Daniel with my life but I never knew that I was trusting the devil himself.

I couldn’t remember how many times, he had s*x with me…was it two, four? But when it finally ended, he pulled me closer to his body.

The next morning when I woke up, I was alone in the bed, with the realization slowly sinking withing me that I slept with Daniel last night…

“Good morning sweetheart.” I snapped my eyes to the voice, to find Daniel fully dressed.

“Where are you going?” I made an attempt to seat up were it had me groaning in pain.

He smiled devilishly. “Let’s break up Nina.”

I chuckled softly, while smiling back at him. “It’s not funny Daniel, and I’m not in the mood for jokes.”

“Who said I’m joking, I’m dead serious. I can’t continue this toxic relationship with you were your father boss me around just because I’m dating his daughter.” His cold words reached my hearing perfectly.

My face immediately hardened. “This isn’t funny Daniel! How could you say this after what happened between us last night! I gave you my virginity Daniel!” He used me last night. How could he?

“And I enjoyed it, at least I had s*x with you before breaking up right?”

Tears found their way to my eyes and shuddering the words came out. “My dad is going to kill you for this Daniel.”

Then he chuckled loudly.

I stared at him blankly, wondering if I had said something funny.

“Oh right you haven’t heard.”

Heard what? I said to myself.

Daniel walked to the couch were his clothes were, and he brought out his phone from his pants. He had his attention sealed on the phone before flipping his eyes back to me.

He read from his phone. “Breaking news, the Nations well known business man Azar Alder was involved in a terrible accident last night. He was rushed to the hospital but his condition seems to be critical. Doctors have been trying their best over the last eight hours to save his life.”

My eyes lengthened, and everything seemed to have halted with the words of his making way into my head to have my brain process the words.

“Eyes and ears on me Nina, because that’s only half the news.” Shakily my eyes meant the ones of Daniels which was dancing with malice and nefariousness. “It has also been discovered that the famous business man Azar Alder is into, drug trafficking, human trafficking, numerous killings and much more. The national security are currently investigating more. They are also in search of Mr Azar’s wife and daughter who has reportedly gone into hiding, Sonia Azar Alder and Nina Azar Alder.”

He dropped his phone and his voice were taunting. “Who knew that your father is such a horrible monster. I think your father has a lot on his plate to even worry about his daughter’s boyfriend who used her, and you should probably be thinking of running away like your filthy mother.”

I shook my head, it was hard for me to process everything. He was lying! Daniel was lying! He was only doing this to mess with my head.

I didn’t notice when he had stepped closer to me. He picked my chin to have my pain-filled eyes hurl on him.

“I guess your little Cinderella life is about to end Nina.”

Then I had snatched my head to the side to find my phone ringing. I quickly grasped on it, “Hello Mom-”

“Where are you Nina! The cops are after us! Find yourself somewhere to hide!”
