Chapter Eleven
I tried to end it all out of hopelessness and guilt, but I was rescued by my housekeeper and taken to the hospital.
Every day I lay in the dark hospital room, my mind taunting me relentlessly with memories of the past. Regret flooded my mind, I wish I had treated Amara better.
The more I thought about it the more I delved deeper into despair, my heart aching constantly.
I wasn’t eating anymore, and I lost the weight I was carrying but unhealthily due to my poor nutrition at the hospital.”
A month later I was transferred to the psychiatric ward.
Because of the constant nightmares I kept getting every night, I saw my ex–wife Amara, but before I could reach her, she disappeared. Then came the dreams of my unborn child I had terminated; I would try to carry the baby, but it’d turn into a pool of blood in my arms.
A physiologist was hired for me but it was in vain. I felt my mind slipping from reality by the day; what was real and what was fake blurred together, intertwining by the day.”
The two years of Amara’s absence felt like hell on earth. Even Chrissy had abandoned me, I was all alone and hopeless.}
One day, as I mindlessly scrolled on the internet, I came across a picture that was the number one trending in every app.
The CEO of Green Tech Hollow also acquired Chrissy’s company.
Miss Stella Brown, the whole world was shocked. Miss Stella Brown bore a striking resemblance to my ex–wife Amara. My hands shook violently as I zoomed in and out of the picture, tirelessly, fully convinced that this was my ex–wife.
Everyone else in the comments seemed to agree with me, the agreement was uncanny.
I read a few comments like, “Wow, good for her, she changed her identity and bossed up. What an exceptional woman I’m sure her family and ex–husband must be regretting.“}
“What a power move. She bought their company, and now they work for her.”
But a few seemed to disagree, “This is certainly not Amara, she only bears a resemblance.“}
I didn’t care, I was too excited to sit still. For the first time in weeks, I stood on my weak legs due to malnutrition, and I fell on my knees.
My doctor and personal assistant immediately ran into the room alerted by the movement sensors placed to monitor me.”
“Why are you on your feet so suddenly, you’re not strong enough!” My doctor said panicking as they helped me back to the bed.
I chuckled, genuine happiness filling my heart for the first time in years. “Gillian, have you seen the news about Stella Brown?“}
“Yes sir.” My assistant said.
“I’m convinced a hundred percent that it’s my ex–wife, Amara. I need to recover my strength and get her back.”
My assistant had an awkward look on his face, “I’ll run my research and make sure she’s the one for certain. But she owns our company,.. and I heard she’ll be coming to address us officially at the annual dinner held in three months.”>
My eyes shone with excitement; maybe she was finally coming back to forgive me, and we could start all over again. By the way, I wooed her once; I can woo her to fall for me again.”
“That’s good, I need to recover my strength and get better for her then.“}
The doctor was excited at my sudden improvement and excitedentThat’s good news.“}
I started eating healthy obsessively and working out aggressively. And in three months my body snapped back to what it was before and even better.
It was three days to the meeting,and Stella Brown posted another picture but this time, it broke me and shattered my world.
There stood my Amara, looking all beautiful and glowing in the arms of another man showing off the biggest engagement ring I had ever
seen.
The warmth and love I saw in her eyes for him made my eyes blur with tears, Amara had once looked at me with such love and admiration.
Could she be playing a prank on me to get revenge? Maybe she was just doing this to hurt me and make me prove my love.
I took deep breaths to steady my erratic breathing, I managed to steady my emotions. Taking another look at the photo, my hate for him knew no bounds.
Oddly, he looked vaguely familiar; I opened the comments to see.”
The first comment says;
“This is the ultimate couple. This is the best couple in the world, I’m so happy for Amara, she’s engaged to Jake Richardson, the biggest oil mogul in the world. I don’t think his wealth can even be counted by billions.”
I felt dizzy but continued reading,
“What a lovely and happy couple. I can’t imagine how stupid Amara’s ex family and husband must feel, someone check on him (with a laughing emoji)“2
Angry, I threw my phone against the wall; this was not going to happen. I was not going to lose Amara one more, time especially to another man.
I don’t care if she’s even pregnant for him or whatever. I’ll raise the baby as mine, I’ll do whatever it takes to get my woman back.
roon careti snes even pregnant for him or whatever. I raise the baby as mine, I do whatever it takes to get my woman back.
And I knew exactly who to contact to do the job for me. I was going to first woo her at the annual dinner and remind her and Jake that I’m her true love.
I needed her mother too to try and convince her, I’ll have to make sure I bring her from the hospital to dinner. Maybe seeing her mother near death would convince her too.
Amara’s Pov
The day to go back home finally came. I flew back home and throughout the flight, Jake, my fiancé, held my hand on his private plane.”
I had anxiety butterflies in my belly; Jake held my hand reassuringly in comfort. “I’m right, here babe, nothing,and no one is going to hurt you. I promise.“}
He kissed my cheek, nuzzling my neck.
I smiled grateful for the perfect man God had sent me. I had met him at the darkest time of my life.}
