Billionaire husband's pursuit for his wife

After three days, Nina was discharged from the hospital. She gathered her things and got dressed in the clothes Ella brought for her. Even though she was absent for one week, no one cared to find out what happened to her. Neither her husband is demanding her for a divorce or her father and his new family. In this one year that she was married to Theodore, she completely lost touch with a few friends she had in the past. Her aspiring career was forgotten and Theodore became the centre of her universe. Now, after the accident when she almost lost her life, she realised that nothing is more important than self love and her own happiness.

"So, what are you planning to do now?" Ella asked her.

Ella offered to drive her to the villa which she started to live in after she married Theodore. Ella submitted the document to her technical team who was reviewing it.

"I am planning to sign those damn documents and free myself from the shackles of unwanted marriage which I inflicted upon myself' Nina replied without any hesitation.

But deep down, it still hurts to let go of her first love. Because she just couldn't forget the love she had for that man for the last one and half years with a snap of his finger. But she can hide it.

Ella placed her hand on Nina's shoulder.

"No matter whatever you decide, I will support you" she said earnestly.

Nina chuckled without mirth. She is laughing at the irony of her situation. "What happened? What is so funny?" Ella inquired curiously.

Nina's eyes became frosty when she remembered her life untill now.

"The father who raised me doesn't care about me. My husband whom I love more than myself cares about another woman. But you, we met in an accident. But it's you who is standing by my side when I am feeling like I don't have anyone" she spoke the bitter truth. Ella smiled sadly. She started to feel the same way after her husband's death. All her relatives who used to act sweet and caring started to show their true colours when they realised that she might be on the streets soon.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"Nina, believe it or not, we both are lost souls. Sailing in the same boat. When I heard that your husband refused to come to see you in the hospital, I understood that your situation might be different, but we both are similar in a different way. That's why I decided to stick around. And I don't regret my decision either" Ella shared her thoughts.

Nina felt grateful that she found a friend in this entire ordeal. Later, Ella dropped Nina in the Morrison villa.

"Mrs. Morrison, where have you been? Do you know how worried I was? I didn't had your number in my mobile. I never needed it. But this past week, I was so tensed" Rosa, the housekeeper said with concern as soon as she saw Nina with bandages wrapped around her head, hand and her left leg. She is walking with difficulty. When Rosa noticed all of this, she became even more worried.

Nina gave a sad smile. Even though her mother in law is in a coma, she still managed to find someone like Rosa to care for her.

"Don't worry Rosa. I am fine" Nina assured the kind lady. In this one year, it was Rosa who was kind to her and made sure that she eat all of her meals. But Nina was an idiot who didn't eat properly because she wanted to be slim like a model. Despite being thin, Nina still had curves. She foolishly thought that she could attract Theo with her looks and model like body. Now thinking about it, she couldn't help but mock herself for being stupid.

'My physical and mental health should be my main priority' she decided. With that thought in my mind, she requested Rosa to cook her something to eat. Rosa was surprised to hear this unusual request. But still she is happy to oblige.

The first thing she did after she walked back inside her room is looking at the divorce papers. They were in the same place where Theo left them a week ago. She picked up the papers and read the contents.

Theo is generous. He gave her an alimony of Ten million and gave her the Morrison villa as well. Nina never touched Theo's money in the one year they were married. She had her own money which was left to her by her mother and she used to earn some by selling her incense online under a different name. She never needed his money. All she needed was his love, which she never got from him.

"Well, if you are so generous, then why should I refuse it" she muttered to herself and signed the documents without any hesitation.

"The faster I untangle myself from him the better for my sanity" she muttered to herself.

After she is done, she ate a hearty meal cooked by Rosa to her heart's content. Just when she was about to finish her meal, her mobile started ringing.

She looked at the caller id and immediately felt her heart constrain with suffocation. It's her father.

A sneer appeared on her face. He only ever calls her if he needs something from her. Despite that knowledge, she still answered his call.

"Dad" she answered.

"Nina, come home right away. Something happened in the company" with that said, he disconnected the call.

He didn't bother to ask her about her well being. He didn't care about her at all. He knows that Theodore doesn't like her at all. But still he only ever cared about how he could benefit from a rich and powerful son in law rather than caring about her daughter's happiness. Nina is done dancing to their tunes. She doesn't want to go there.

'If I need to start my career, I need to collect my certificates and stuff from my old room. This will be the last time' she told herself.
