After a face surgery, I revenge on my Ex-husband

Laura sighed, “Hey… be calm ma’am but that’s the truth. You are taking it way too personally, if you are different good luck with that. I won’t be surprised, I’ll hear your news and don’t think you are too beautiful.”

“Now leave!” I snapped and pointed at the direction she came from and heads turned to look at us. Laura shook her head slightly and walked away. “What’s the problem?” A little voice asked coming closer to me as I noticed Laura turned and glared at the lady who asked me a question.

“It’s nothing dear, there’s no problem at all ” I smiled at her and she returned the smile.

Later in the evening, I got back home, and as I went to the house, Lilac was already preparing for dinner. “Hello Lilac, how are you?” I asked dropping my bag on the kitchen table.

“I’m good honey, how was work today? and have you started the audition yet?” She asked, rinsing her hands in the sink and coming to stand right opposite me.

“No, we haven’t started anything yet I mean, I was only given some books to read, like that’s so boring,” I responded and sighed.

I added, “Something crazy happened today, there’s this Laura lady who seems to be a nosey and a poker human. At first, when she came I thought oh wow, this lady is friendly and really nice only for her to tell me that, the CEO is actually

something else and she asked if I had gone down with the CEO, she sounded like I was lying and that I was going to by all means and that I got my promotion because of that, girl she really pissed me off.” I ranted like a small child to her mother.

“Oh pretty, don’t mind her she is just jealous. Come let’s have some dinner.” Lilac said and I followed her to the dining table while helping her carry some plates.

While setting the table, there came a knock on the door, “Are you expecting anyone?” I asked and Lilac nodded in disapproval.

“Then who could that be?” I asked and the knock came again. “I’ll get that,” Lilac said pushing the chair backward and she stood up and went to open the door.

“Oh hi, who are you?” She asked and I peeped immediately I heard a voice say, “I am the CEO, her CEO. I am here to see her.” I tried to peep but I couldn’t see, immediately I stood up to go to the door but the man was already walking in with Lilac.

“Ava, you have a visitor here,” Lilac said as she gestured for Harvis to sit down. “What do you want and why are you here?” I asked with my face squeezed like a squashed orange and I sat next to Lilac.

“I came to see you.”

“Why?” I rudely asked, “Because I want you to be my girlfriend. I told you that I liked you and you don’t seem to see the signs. I have never done this for another girl but here I am.”

I let out a laugh, and mocked, ” Oh really? That’s funny.”

Lilac exchanged funny glances at me, it was the fact that he had the boldness to say this in front of Lilac. “I won’t beat around the bush, I don’t love you, I am not interested, and never ever ask me or say such a thing to me.” I bluntly replied with a stern voice and my fingers pointed at him as I spoke.

“Hey, do not try to resist me. Even though you don’t love me, can you at least give me your heart?” He asked and I stood up to my feet. “With all due respect, like I said, it’s a capital letter No, “I said.

Harvis stood up and left, and I and Lilac were left alone, as soon as he left, Lilac screamed, “Girl!! You are the hotcake here. I won’t imagine that Harvis whom ladies in this country are dying hard to get come to my house to ask my sister, Ava Smith out and profess his love to her. ”

As Lilac called me Lilac my heart melted but then I remembered that I had a sister who traumatized me by sleeping and joining Addams to execute his plan.

My trust issues went damn high, “You can have him if you want to.”

“You sound so icy and cold, are you angry or something?” Lilac facial expression dropped low. “No I am fine, there’s no problem.”

The following day, later at work my phone pinged and I picked it up only to see a message from a profile that I identified as Harvis. The message read, “AVA COME TO MY OFFICE I WANT TO SEE YOU HERE NOW.”

My eyes zoomed in as I saw his message, “How did he get my? Oops, the details I inputted.” I stood up and went to his office, after knocking slightly I opened the door and took quiet steps in.

“How are you, Ava? How are you coping and the girls too? I know we haven’t begun to audition yet for now but we will. Do you have any problem with anything you want to share?” Harvis asked.

“No, I’m fine, just tired of sitting In the office from morning till evening, doing nothing but reading and watching videos of models. Remember I wasn’t a model so but here I am,” I smiled for formality’s sake.

“That’s okay, we all get to learn and progress but you are just a perfection.”

“Indeed,” I replied and returned my face to the straight face because I knew he was going to escalate the topic to the part of being his girlfriend.

“You are so beautiful my dear, I know you might have heard my news around but I am not that way anymore since I set my eyes on you. Yes, I’m a player but I can’t ever play you.”

I burst out into laughter as I couldn’t control what I just heard him say, “That’s okay, I am not interested. Can I leave now?” I asked with my arms crossed.

“I’ll still wait to get the Feedback from you,” Harvis said and I stood up, “Thank you,” I said and left his office. As I came out of his office, Laura was already standing by the door and she gave me an irritated look filled with disgust and sneered as she saw me.

I didn’t say a word to her, I just walked past her and she knocked on the door and went in. Who knows what she went there to do? It seems like she is a whore and Love’s the CEO, but that’s not my business.

Grabbing my seat in the office, I sat down and picked up my phone, “THE CEO IS STILL DISTURBING ME. I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS HIS PROBLEM. HE WANTS ME TO BE HIS LOVE BUT I CAN’T.”

Immediately Lilac replied back, “THEN ACCEPT HIM, JUST FOR THE MONEY, I MEAN YOU NEED MONEY AND YOU NEED TO START BUILDING WHAT YOU INTENDED TO BUILD. ACCEPT HIM AND BUILD YOU, THAT’S THE BEST I CAN SAY ”

“Business strategy! Haha,” I let out a soft laugh. The advice sounded nice and I had that thought too but I didn’t just seem to like it at all. “So that means the next time he texts or asks you to go on a date you accept and stop being a fool,” I said in my head and let out a giggle.

Some ladies in the room turned their necks and looked at me, I was already starting to feel that they were already gossiping about me and of course, everyone does that.

The following day, I found myself in a dimly lit restaurant with scented candles and soft music sounding in the background, “I think I’ll just go with fish and chips and steak and kidney with soy sauce” I said, ticking the menu and handed it over to the steward.

“I’ll take bangers and mash, with red wine,” Harvis said and took my hands in his, I smiled and he smiled back, “You are beautiful,” he mumbled.

“Will you be my girlfriend?” He asked and I nodded, “Yes I will be your girlfriend Harvis,” I looked deep into his eyes as I spoke.

” Oh, this fool would really think that I have fallen for him!” I said in my head as I watched him smile. We talked for some time, and I’m not going to lie at one point I got tired more like tired of seeing his face too.

After the date as we walked out, he opened his door for me to enter and he drove me back home. The smile on Lilac’s face as she saw me said a lot.

“Welcome back, Mrs. CEO. How’s your date with the CEO??” She asked and I responded, “Like every other date will be. Nothing special.” I said even though that was my first date.

When I got married to Addams, we never went on dates even though I loved him so much as much I thought he did.

“That’s really a great start. I am glad that you got to finally get him under your fingers. If he continues to simp then you can get whatever and anything at all from him, if you play your role well. Don’t fall for his games because once men get hold of you, then they get what they want. You are no longer the beautiful girl they had always admired,” Lilac said.

“I know but I have been wanting to ask, are you dating?” I asked.

“Or rather why are you not married,” I said in my head.

“Oh no dear, I divorced my husband. He was a cheat, two months into the marriage, I found out that he had been sleeping with his secretary and I just couldn’t take that because it was a big slap to my face. I would never do that to him, and what I don’t want someone who will break me by cheating. What I won’t do to someone else I don’t let others do that to me,” Lilac said and brought out her palms in the air.

She touched her ring finger and said,” Look here. There’s no ring. I threw it away.”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

“That’s how life goes. Though I still believe in love lol,” She let out a chuckle. So there are lots of women out there really suffering, and there are some who have found love, or so they think.

“Do you still love Addams?” Lilac asked and I nodded in approval, “I think I do,” I let out a soft chuckle.

“That’s really crazy,” Lilac said and I stood up. Harvis had to make me take the day off to actualize his wishes so all I had to do that day was sleep.

“Why are you smiling in space?” I asked Lilac, “I just remembered that day when my friend’s boyfriend hit himself embarrassed. I’m so happy for what my friend did too. It felt satisfying,” Lilac responded and stood up coming to me.

“I like you and that’s serious,” Lilac said, standing up and walking to sit with me. “Please stop! You scare me right now!”

She sat down and wrapped her arms around my shoulder, and looked into my eyes, ” Are you gay? Please!!”

“Are you homophobic? And I am not gay. I said I like you doesn’t mean I am sexually attracted to you, please receive sense,” Lilac said, her voice laced with anger as she spoke and I shrugged my shoulder.

“Don’t take that too personally!” I said and moved closer to her and hugged her tightly. ” What I meant was that I like everything about you, your aura, strength, and grace. You are really a strong woman, strong enough to say you still love Addams because that’s really unnatural to me.” Lilac said.
