045 She didn’t show up
Nicklaus Michaelson
I left the hospital and went back to my mansion to take my bath as all the preparation about how to meet Ava kept going on in my head. I need to look good and smell nice, so I bathed and wore a nice tuxedo. Looking at my reflection in the mirror I can’t help but marvel at my handsomeness. I’ve always known how cute I look.
I have Ava’s new number which I got from my secretary today. I know if I call her she won’t pick up and If I call her new number she’s likely to block me if she hears my voice so I sent her a message to meet me at ROMAN’S HOTEL.
I told her I wanted us to take and even if she hates me I want her to come for the sake of our marriage in the past. I was about to leave the house when Madam Perky’s voice stopped me
“You look so happy today, what happened?” I smiled and turned to Madam Perky who never left my side all this while, she’s just like my second mother, always there for me whenever I needed her. I rushed toward Madam Peeky and engulfed her in a tight hug
“What’s wrong son?” She asked in a panicked voice, I pulled away from the hug looking at her worried face
“I’m going to bring Ava back home today”
“Ava?” She asked in a teary voice as a tear slipped down her eyes
“Yes Ava”
“Go come on son don’t be late to get her, go” She pushed me in excitement and I nodded happily before leaving in a hurry I drove out in my Rolls Royce. Throughout the ride I was feeling so excited, I’ve never felt this excited in my life, even though my other part was screaming to me that Ava will not show up but mum always says to be positive all the time, and here I am believing that Ava will come
I got to Roman’s hotel and parked carefully before lighting from the car, I entered the manager’s office and told him how I wanted to make use of the whole VIP section today and he told me I would have to pay thrice the price, I didn’t banter words with him I made the transfer immediately after all my Ava is worth it a billion times
The manager left and dismiss everyone in the VIP section and they were taken to another part of the hotel, I called the decorator and the caterers and they started decorating and designing the whole place, while I sat down by the corner watching the whole place transform beautifully, A slow music was playing on the background while the piano player that I called sat at the entrance playing piano
I felt so tense, I’ve never been this nervous my whole life. Everything was ready, the food was looking so appetizing and the whole wall was filled with the inscription “I’m sorry please give us another chance”.
I looked at myself in the mirror countless times making sure I looked good. Now it’s time to await her arrival, one hour has passed so she’ll be here from now on. I kept glancing at the door every moment waiting for her, one hour turned into two yet she’s not here, three hours passed she’s not yet here, I kept holding tightly onto the flower that I bought for her hoping she walks in through the door any moment from now
Six hours yet she’s not yet here, I’m still standing in the middle of the hall awaiting her, the door suddenly opened and I raised my head in excitement but my smile died down when it turns out to be the manager
“I’m sorry sir but it’s past closing hour, you need to leave” I nodded my head watching the manager leave, I looked at the flower one more time, immediately a heavy thunder struck followed by a dawn pour. Lightning and thunder continue to clash and a mighty wind began to blow
I wiped the tear that threatened to fall from the corner of my lips, Ihe piano player and every other person already left, feeling so heartbroken and I left the VIP. I walked into the rain not minding if it’s drenching my tuxedo, if only this rain could take away the pain in my heart right now, if only it could
I was so fucking drench yet I walked to the parking lot still holding the flower tight, some part of my hair fall forward sticking to my face,
“Ava please come to me I’m going crazy already” I cried holding onto my car as I broke down in tears under the rain, the flower fell from my hand,
“I’m sorry god I promise to threat Ava like a queen this time please send her to me let her forgive me I’m going crazy already please” I pleaded under the rain but just like the ocean the rain kept washing away my tears while the pain in my heart sting so bad
“Nick?”
I heard my name and turned swiftly thinking it’s Ava, but my heart broken into a thousand pieces seeing the person I hate most in this earth “Sherly”
I ignored her and made to enter my car but she caught hold of my hand
“Were you expecting Ava?” She asked sounding broken, I sighed not in the mood for her games, I flung her hand away and entered my car driving offContentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
