Her Ex-husband’s Wrath

“Good afternoon, doc,” The reception nurse greeted me.

“Give me Paula Collins record.” She immediately handed me Paula’s record so I check it.

I looked at the medications prescribed to Paula one by one and then returned it to the nurse.

“Thanks,”

“Welcome, doc”

I am disappointed after seeing Paula’s record. I can’t find anything that can be used on her. Most of them are multivitamins and some medicine that are harmless to pregnant.

God forbid me, but I hope the child does not survive after what happen.

‘I’m sorry baby, but I can’t claim you after I know everything.’

I clenched my fist while standing in the hallway and thinking of a way how I can remove Paula on my way. Maybe she’s right, I am guilty right now because of what happened to Ashley. But I am more guilty thinking about why I involved myself unto her. If I know that she is the reason for this, at that time, I will surely find and that Kranky and kill them both.

In my profession as a doctor, I swore to save lives, but as a previous police officer and a detective, killing a criminal is not a sin and I admit that I killed a lot of criminals that deserving to die. If I meet that Kranky first before Hailey and Eugene, I swear that I will kill him in my own hands.

I wanted Paula to get out of my life and she had to pay for what she did. Yes, I have a mistake for my wife but it wouldn’t have happened if she hadn’t started. She is the beginning of it all and I want to get revenge in any cost I want.

“How’s the patient?” I heard the other doctor said to this companion while they’re walking.

“It’s ok doc, he had a seizure earlier but it’s ok, he survived, he also got a heart attack,”

“It’s good that his body is strong.”

“Good afternoon, doc,” a nurse and a doctor greeted me at the same time and I nod at them. And thanks to them because I got the idea.

I go straight to the stock room because I can find there what I need. When I entered there was a nurse but she also immediately came out after she get what she needed.

I immediately searched for what I need and smiled when I saw a vial of medicine that I need then headed to the syringe section.

Potassium Chloride and Syringe are in my hand now. Wrong dosage of it will increase her heartbeat and can her heart attack. I will kill you by this Paula and I will make you won’t survive. I smirked and was about to put the medicine in my pocket when suddenly someone spoke behind me.

“I know what’s running on your mind.” I wasn’t surprised at his presence but I didn’t hide the medicine. “Don’t continue what you are planning. I don’t know what you’re holding but I’m sure that what you’re thinking can’t help on your situation right now.” I turned to see him.

“I am a doctor, I know what I am going to do.” Eugene smile then approached me. “Why are you here? You are not allowed here.”

“I followed you when I saw you come out of Paula’s room. You know, Asher, the hasty decision is deadly. Instead of thinking the right way, you will commit a crime? Haven’t you feel pity for your child.”

“I would rather kill the baby than to have a child that will be born from a criminal mother.”

“Stupid. You are almost no different from her when you do that. ”

“She ruined my wife’s life. She broke us.” I can’t control my anger. I feel like my tears will fall in front of him because of the extreme hatred that I feel right now.

“I understand you, Asher.” He calmed down and then walked over to me. “But not in a way you think can fix everything. That will only add to the problem.”

“You can’t understand me because you don’t know what I went through. I blame myself for what happened to my wife. Do you know how guilty it feels because you know you are guilty of what happened to the woman you love?”

“Ash, it’s not your fault, you’re both victims here.”

“Victim? you can call me a victim? A husband who beat his wife, is that a victim for you? Is it a victim who almost kills his wife out of anger? Is that a victim, Eugene?”

“You are a victim of a delusion, of misunderstanding. You don’t know why you did it. Asher, don’t be a criminal out of anger.” I hold tight onto the medicine stall and kick it. I felt him touch my shoulder before speaking again. “If something bad happens to you, what will happen to Ashley? She needs you now.”

“I want to avenge her, I want to give her justice but I don’t know-how. What happened to her was not fair. I can’t accept what happened to her. Yes, I made a mistake too and I admitted it. But it wouldn’t have happened if that woman hadn’t started everything. I want revenge, Eugene, my wife did not deserve this kind of suffering.”

“There is a right time to get revenge, don’t worry we can get it. Don’t lose yourself because of her. Do you know what you should prepare for?” he asked as I just looked. “Hunter will arrive tomorrow morning.”

“I can face him,”

“You said so, but before you face him. Fix yourself first and let that shit be alive so she can pay for her sin.” I looked at him. “She needs to suffer like how Ashley suffered.”

“Eugene, thank you? Thank you for your concern and for empathizing with my wife. Thank you for staying by her side during the times she needed sympathy. I owe you a lot, tell me if you need anything and I will not hesitate to help you.”

“Cliché, we’re family. We are allies in such situations. Although we are rarely together, we are one if needed. So, don’t pursue what you are planning.”

“Thank you, good thing you came.” He tapped me on the shoulder. I put back the medicine and the syringe that I took.

We are going to leave the stock room when suddenly my cellphone rang. When I looked at who had called it was Agatha’s name appear on the screen.

“Yeah,”

“Asher, Ashley is missing,”

“What?” Eugene also looked at me and was also surprised by my reaction.

“She was asleep, so I lay down next to her. I fell asleep and when I woke up she was no longer beside me.”

“Damn,” I cut the call and walked.

“What’s wrong?”

“Ashley is missing.”

“What, where the hell is she?”

“I don’t know, I need to go home.”

“I’ll follow you.” I no longer responded to what Eugene said. We both walks through the parking lot and went to our cars.

AGATHA walked around the living room while biting her nail. The three helpers were standing next to nana.

“Agatha,” I called and she quickly approached me then cried.

“Ash, I’m sorry, I don’t know it will happen. I am sorry, ”

“Shh, shh! Stop crying,”

“Didn’t you notice that Ashley came out?” Eugene asked the maids.

“No, sir, I’m already in the kitchen at that time,”

“Me sir, nana, and I are doing the laundry.”

“Sir, I’m in the back to clean the dirty kitchen.”

One by one they answered full of concern while nana was just silent.

“Nana,” I called.

“Huh?”

“Are you alright?”

“Asher, please find Ashley.” Nana suddenly cried so one of the housemaids hugged her.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“Nana, it’s alright, don’t stress yourself,” Eugene reminded her. Nana is old so she shouldn’t get stress. “Have you asked the village guard?” he added and look at Agatha.

“Only one is on duty now and he didn’t notice anything but the CCTV hit her as she passed the gate,” Agatha replied.

Shit where she is?

“What happened?” Hailey entered at the same time.

“Ashley is missing,” Eugene replied.

“What, where is she?”

“No one knows, who’s with Ulysses?” Eugene asked.

“I left him with Hera.”

“Good, come with me and let’s go roam, Asher, let’s not waste time, we have to find her,” Eugene said.

“Wait, let’s not be together, better if we split up,” Hailey suggested.

We did not waste time. We all drove the car one by one.

Every road I passed I looked around and maybe my eye would catch Ashley. I no longer knew how I would feel. I don’t know where the possible place he will go. Every movement of the clock makes me feel scared and nervous.

“God, where the hell are you, Ashley?” I parked the car beside the road.

I couldn’t stand myself and I spent a lot of time crying. I can’t help but think that what if we can’t see her? She’s not on her own and she doesn’t know what’s going on with her. What if something happens to her again.

Will I lose her again?

Why is it always like this?

I can’t help myself but cry harder. I am confused and I didn’t know where to find her.

After I overcome, I composed myself and drive again.

I cannot lose hope. This is not the right time. I need to find Ashley to take home. She can’t leave me like this again. Not in this case.

I don’t know where I’m going. But I will find my wife no matter what happens.
