Accident

Chapter three

Electra POV

I sat right in front of the mirror staring at my reflection. I am just coming back from the hospital, I don't know how I ended up there but all I know is that when I woke up this afternoon I was in the hospital. My maid told me when she walked in yesterday night, she said she saw me lying lifeless on the floor, and when she checked my pause, she realized I was still breathing and rushed to call the security.

She said when they got to the hospital they called Knoxville to inform him about him, but he never showed up. That's when I finally realized it was not all dreams all the time. If it was indeed my reality, Knoxville hated me now and wanted me out of his life at any cost.

I really don't know what I do to deserve this hatred but it's okay. I just started my life from all over. I picked up my phone and dialled my father's number. I hope he will pick up because he's the only one who has been talking to me after I stole their money and left home. I have a forgiving father but not my mother.

He picked up at the second ringing. "Hello my princess" He said, and tears begin to pour in my eyes. I couldn't hold my tears after hearing him call me princess. I was loved at home until I foolishly fall in love and didn't listen to my parents' advice.

"Daddy" I called my voice breaking.

"What's that my daughter, why are you crying?" He asked, and I explained everything to him.

"That son of a bitch how dare he do that to my daughter?" He asked, trying to act like the super dad I know.

"Dad, I need to get out of here. But I don't really know where I am heading to" I said, totally lost.

"Pack you things, I will meet you at the hotel, you need to leave this country, because I can't imagine what it will looks like if your mother finds out about this. She might just disown you finally" He said, and I totally understood what he meant.

"I know that dad, that's why I am calling" I said, my voice weak.

"Just get ready, I will meet you there tonight, take care of yourself my princess. Don't let any man determine your happiness. Remember you're always cherished" He said, and my happiness knew no boundaries, but I couldn't hold the tears, as I hung up the call.

With the last determination in me I stood up, signed the divorce papers, and walked to my wardrobe, packing my things. When I was done packing I checked my time and realised it was 7pm already. I grabbed my toe bags ready to live.

Just as I walked into the living room Knoxville came in with a woman, and I was surprised to see it was Helena, my best friend. The only one who has advised me to go with Knoxville despite the fact that everyone rebukes me.

My face lit up with anger as I dropped my bags. "So this is who you are, Knoxville?" I asked, staring at the two of them, with so much anger and hurt within me. I can say I am boiling right now.

"Babe, I thought you said she will be gone when we get here?" Helena asked, and I couldn't believe what I just heard.

"I thought she would be gone, I don't know why she's still here" Knoxville answered, looking like a puppet. Yes I know this looks, and this reaction of his, this is how he behaves like a puppet when he's trying to make you fall in love with him. And I couldn't believe this is happening with Helena.

"Madam, what are you still doing here?" Helena asked, walking closer to me, and I was surprised at her confidence. She's really too confident to ask me questions despite going out with my man.

"Are you really asking me that question?" I asked, and stood firm but my world crumpled more as Knoxville walked closer to her and kissed her.

"You don't have to argue with her. She's leaving already. I will see her out" he said, then turned to me.

"Get the hell out of here" He ordered, and I tried my best to not make a scene, but this all wasn't just making any sense.

"Are you such a shameless man?” I asked , standing firm. “You used me and then went to my friend, now you want me out already so you can do your dirty stuff. You don't have any right, I also have money in this house. I helped you pay for this house too" I shouted.

"But I have been feeding you for two years, all you do is sleep and eat, are you going to pay me back for all those things too. Come on, don't you know when to walk out? Why are you still waiting, we're not husband and wife anymore. You're my ex now" He said, his expression cold and shameless.

"Just get the fuck out bitch" Helena shouted, I was so mad and I wanted to fight, but then I tell myself it wasn't worth it. How can I settle for less, someone who jumped to my friend, and still I wonder how the person I trusted and called friend, even tell my problems to when he was misbehaving would betray me like this. I hated myself for trusting the wrong people.

"Thanks for taking up my trash " I said to her, and grabbed my bags.

"You call this man trash, are you silly or you're just pained" Helena shouted after me, I walked out without looking back. Because I couldn't imagine myself doing something stupid so I would rather walk out on them.

Getting out of the house, I wanted to wait and get a taxi but I couldn't take it and wanted to walk away from this house, far away.

Just as I walked some miles away, I was about to cross to the other side of the road and never imagined a car would appro

ach from nowhere, hitting me to the floor. Then everything went blank.
