003: The divorce party.

Bianca

I stopped falling and from the pull on my leg, I guess it wasn't my supernatural strength surfacing because I was dying.

I tried opening my eyes to see my savior but at that moment, those hands pulled me up roughly and I banged my head against the walls and blanked out.

*****

“Ouch”

My head hurts badly, light dancing in its raw form in my eyes the few times I tried opening it, causing me to shut it back.

When I felt a bit stable,I opened my eyes again and noticed I was still in the hospital and in the same room I left.

The memories are hazy,I clearly remember leaving this room to go up to the ledge. I remember falling off,I also remember being saved by someone and judging by the feel of their arms, it's a male.

Was it Diego? No,it can't be. But what if he came back to me? A bit of me, extremely hopeful but delusional.

Still trying to figure out what exactly happened, the doctor came in, smiling with relief.

“The nurses told me you had woken up,Soni decided to come and check up on you.” he announced as he walked towards me.

“So Mrs,how do you feel in general?” He asked,wearing back his stethoscope. He looks genuinely concerned about my state of being.

“I feel fine,just a little bit disoriented," I answered, as truthfully as I could.

" I wouldn't blame you,seeing the number of days you spent in a coma” he replied.

Wait a minute, Days? Coma? What is he talking about? “Sorry doctor, how long have I been in a coma?” I was a bit scared of the answer.

" I know you have been in a coma for seven days" he replied,his voice increasingly calm.

“We found you in the room,your drip no longer connected to your arms, totally passed out on the ground and that's when we rushed you to the bed and commenced another treatment”he explained.

A question has been lingering in the back of my head since the doctor explained how he found me. I turned to the doctor only to find him looking at me with what bore resemblance to pity

*When would I be discharged?”I asked.

“You are well and you look well so,all you need to do is to come over to the front desk,sign a couple of papers and then you can go, your bills have been cleared by the way.” he replied.

“Ohh, that I would do. Thank you doctor.” I told him, sincerely. He nodded and left.

When he closed the door after him,I hastily got up, thinking of who might have cleared my bills while I got dressed.

I called my driver and he told me he was close to the hospital so I ended the call.

I noticed the envelope containing the divorce letter close to my bed.

I got hold of it and I was filled with instant fury, but I wasn't going to sign it yet, not until I got clarification from Diego on why he treated me this way.

Discharged and already in my car,I gave the driver my location. He threw me a look through the rear view mirror but I looked away and told him to drive.

The guilt raised its head again and I let it toss me about but I can't give up now,all my life,all I ever knew was loving Diego, I grew up loving him.

I wanted a family of my own so I went against my dad and threw away my inheritance, my home and everything I knew, only to be slapped in the face in return.

My thoughts were disrupted by the new look of Diego's place. When the car stopped and I got out,I went forward to investigate the place and it looked like someone threw a party.

“Ma'am, I don't think it's a good idea for you to go in,I can drive you elsewhere”, my driver offered but I ignored him.

“What's going on here?” I asked but he chose to ignore me.

I left him standing there and walked inside the compound and on seeing me,a deafening silence ensued. Everyone was staring nervously at me but I ignored them all.

I scanned for Diego and spotted him sitting under a constructed canopy, with Juana hovering around him like a pest.

Blood rushed to my brain,my eyes saw nothing but red and I squeezed the envelope in my hand, blindly rushing towards him.

“ How dare you? You scumbag,you couldn't even wait for me to divorce you and you went ahead to throw a divorce party” I screamed, throwing tables that stood in my way.

Yes, it's a divorce party,I saw it written boldly at the entrance “ Welcome to my divorce party".

Seeing him sitting so calmly,not moved by my rants got me more infuriated. I went for the cake,lifted it and threw it on the floor.

It looked ugly anyway, so they should be thanking me.

This got his attention as he stood up and called for the security but that didn't move me,I continued throwing things at him.

“I can't believe I thought you were worth shit, I hate you and I pray you burn in hell,you cum-sucking fool,you bloody bastard.”

“Cheating, lying bastard. I hate you,I hate that I loved you,” I continued screaming, backing my stuff- throwing.

Security arrived but they didn't touch me,of course they wouldn't dare to. There were warnings and advice for me to stop and leave but I ignored them all and continued cursing out Diego.

Juana tried coming at me but Diego held her back,well good for her cause I would have ripped her apart.

Diego started walking towards me instead. I stood, ready to defend myself if need be.

“This is your last warning Bianca,get the hell out of my house!” he was angry,I could tell but I was more angry.

“No Diego,not until you tell everyone here how you are a cheating and lying scumbag, you cheated with this slut of a step sister and even framed me of cheating to suit your evil acts, looking for an excuse to divorce me. Why be a coward when you can straight up divorce me? I might seem dumb to you but never stupid Diego”

Those last words might have gotten to him badly,he raised his hands to hit me but I caught it half way, stopping him from hitting me.

“This would be the last time you try to raise your hand on me, next time,I wouldn't be this nice, I'll make sure you rot in jail where you belong,my bad of course this is the last time you would try such cause I am done with you!”

Anyone with eyes could see the terror and shock in his eyes as I threatened him but I would applaud him for doing his best to look tough.

I let go of his hand and added a few more steps towards him, eyebrows raised,lips in a smirk, the picture of arrogance on which he had never seen in me, I never knew I had it too, beautifully painted.

“What the hell?” Diego shouted, I watched him clench his fist, his eyes burning in anger but his mouth tells of his helplessness. Of course, he's smart enough not to lay a finger on me.

I chuckled, stepped back and straided out with some pride as everyone stared at me in awe including Juana.

“Take me somewhere else" I said to the driver immediately I got into the car and he roared the engine to life.
