After Divorce I Became A Zillionaire

Keisha

I opened my eyes and was surprised to see that I’m still alive, I pinched myself to be sure I wasn’t dreaming but heck! I wasn’t, I wanted to sit up when I felt a heavy weight on me, I looked down and was shocked when I saw him lying on my body, he was sleeping so peacefully, I look around the whole place and that’s when I realized I was in the hospital,

I couldn’t lay back on the bed anymore, not when he was sleeping so peacefully with his head resting perfectly on my tummy, it’s actually nice to see his face the first the I woke up but what I don’t understand is why he saved me, he should have left me to die peacefully, I don’t want to go back to that room, I just want to die and relief myself of this hell called life,

I bring my hand slowly to his hair as I began to caress his hair in a loving way, admiring everything about him, he’s the finest man I’ve ever seen.

“You could have left me to die, why did you save me?”

“I’m tired of this life why did you have to save me” I kept whispering to myself

“I can’t even tell you about my feelings for you”

“Why do you have to love me?” I heard a voice and looked down to see him starting at me,

“You’re awake?” My eyes widened in shock,

“Hmmm” He nodded still resting his head on my tummy, I expected him to raise his head but he didn’t,

“You haven’t answered me” He muttered staring deep into my eyes that I find it hard to look away

“Huh….. ehh….. what question” I stuttered nervously

“Hmmmm, …..” He made a creaking sound and he slowly raise his head from my tummy, he stretched his neck

“How are you feeling?” He asked and touched my forehead

“Why did you save me?” I didn’t know when it slip out of my mouth

“Cause I want you to live” He said looking at me with a serious face

“So you can keep punishing me?”

“Hmmm, but this time it’s a good punishment”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m giving you back your freedom, after you’re discharge you can go to wherever you want to, I’m giving you back your freedom”

I was surprised hearing those words from him. The last time I checked he hated me so much. What changed, what happened, what changed his mind?. I want to ask him those question so bad

“Why do you look surprised, you don’t want your freedom?”

“What if I say I want something else, can you give that to me?” I asked but he didn’t say anything, all he did was stare at me,

“What do you want?” He asked in a slow tone, my heart was beating so fast, should I tell him? What if he gets angry? What if I get rejected? I can’t bear the heartbreak, not at this moment, there’s no way he can like someone like me, I’m like a dirt to him, I better don’t keep my hopes high

“It’s nothing” I smiled lowly,

“Tell me, I want to hear it”

“I don’t think it’s important, you might hate me if you hear it”

“I still want to know what it is”

“Are you sure?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Yes tell me”

“What if I say I want to stay by your side forever, will you approve of that?”

“Why do you want to stay by my side forever?”

I looked at him and saw he focused his whole attention on me and I know it’s now or never

“It’s because I love you”

I expected him to react in disgusting way but was surprise when he was just starting at me with no reaction on his face,

“why do you love me, you are supposed to hate me”

“I know but I ended up falling in love with your mysterious personality, and I can’t go back to hating you anymore”

“What do you want to eat?” He asked when I just confessed to him that I love him, what was I expecting? That he would be happy? I must be a dreamer

“Anything” I said calmly and he nodded and stood up, I will go get them for you.

I was lost in thought as he left, is he mad at me, but he doesn’t look like he’s mad at me, anyway I’m just happy that I finally let this feelings out and I don’t expect him to reciprocate in anyway cause I do not deserve it, the freedom he have to me is enough I do not dare ask for more..

I will just wait till I recover fully and then I will leave calmly and move far away from his life and from everybody that I have known, I don’t want them to have any regret seeing my face everyday, being able to live and not being locked up in a closed door is already enough for me

I climbed down the bed and walked into the bathroom to clean up, minutes later I came out from the bathroom and was surprised to see different kinds of dishes on the table, Viper was carefully setting them, I stood by the bathroom admiring the way he did things smoothly with no mistake, I can’t help but fall harder for him

“Do you love me that much?” His voice jolted me back to reality and that’s when I realized that I’ve been staring so much,

“Ohhh sorry” I muttered lowly feeling so ashamed

“You didn’t do anything there’s no need to be sorry, come here” He gestured for me to come close with his hand and I did, he patted the space beside him on the couch, and I sat down,

“Ahhhh….” He demonstrated for me to open my mouth

“You…you.. you want to feed me?” I asked looking so shocked, pointing at myself

“Hmm, I’m afraid you won’t eat if I left you alone”

“You don’t have to worry I can feed myself” I said and try to take the spoon away from him but he shifted his hand

“No, I’m not letting you feed yourself”

“Open” He said in a more serious tone, I can’t help but open up as he began to feed me, I was blushing so hard, and I’m afraid he’s looking at my face right now and he’s seeing how red it was.
