My saviour

Abandoned Ex-Wife: Now Untouchable

Tao Yaoyao

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.

Lucien got out of the company after rounding up his schedules for the day .

All he needs is a warm shower and his bed because he was damn tired from all the shoots and commercials he did today .

He drove while listening to his favorite song from Justin Bieber "Intention "

He sang along with it as he drove on steadily home .

He was obstructed on seeing a bag moving by the side of the road .

What the heck ,how can a bag move " he thought.

He tried to wave the thoughts away thinking it was hallucination but the bag moved again .

Shit he wasn't hallucinating .

He drove slowly past the bag trying to ignore it but reversed immediately to check it out.

Stepping down from the car ,he walked to the bag and bent down .

After taking a deep breath ,Lucien slowly untied it and pop

He saw a female hair .

He drew the bag down and it was a human . Her breathing was coming out slowly ,he was afraid she was dieing.

He brought her out from the bag and rushed into the car .

Having one location in mind ; the hospital :he drove to the hospital .

Lucien parked at the hospitals parking lot and rang the bell kept for emergency there .

Some nurses rushed in with a stretcher and wheeled her inside .

Lucien ruffled his hair .

His day just took another drastic turn .

"Sir the doctor wants you at his office " a nurse said tapping him.

"Ok I will be there in a jiffy "he said arranging his hair before taking same directions the nurse took before seeing the doctor's office two doors by your right .

He knocked gently and the door swung open .

Good evening doctor "he said and sat down

"Good evening ..

"Lucien ,Lucien the name is Lucien"he said in broken tones .

"Sir who is the patient to you "the doctor asked

"A friend " he said and swallowed .

He can't tell him he found her at the roadside now.

"Lucien hey" the doctor said waving his hands at his face.

"You were saying sir " Lucien said

"I said she is suffering from shock and some internal bleedings . A few though . She is also at the verge of coma " the doctor explained and Lucien palmed his face .

This girl is going to be staying in the hospital for a while and damn it .

" So you have to make an instalment payment to the secretary down the hall " he said and I nodded slowly.

"Don't worry she would be fine " he said reassuring me and h muttered an okay .

He came out of the office and headed down the hall .

Lucien paid in the full amount and collected the receipt from her .

He has to go home to freshen up and sleep a bit, before going to work tomorrow
