Chapter 20: The First Fight

Collins POV

"That fucking bitch has the mind to treat me this way, I don't blame her, it's my fault for trying to take her back "

I was in pains, that kick nearly sent me to impotence, if I get that other bitch anywhere, I will surely make her regret it ever.

"Mr Collins, you are on lucky man nothing got broken or spoilt, you can go home and take your medication from home, come next two weeks for check-ups"

"Okay doc, will do"

I left the hospital limping, I called my girlfriend to come pick me up.

"Oh my goodness, Collins who the fuck did this to you baby"

She asked in her whiny annoying voice, she held my face in her palm, turning it up and down like someone inspecting the goods they are buying.

"Quit doing that, it fucking hurts like hell"

"Am sorry baby, am sorry, I will drive now, here let me put on your seat belt, okay now let's go"

We left and soon arrived home, she helped get down and Into the house, I took my bath and went into the study smoking as she concoct whatever poison she is planning to eat because definitely am not eating that rubbish she calls food.

I went through different scenarios of what I will do to Jessica to pay back for this treatment but none yet, I stared down on a magazine and an idea came to mind immediately, I snickered and laughed out loudly.

"Hello, Natalie, longest time "

"What the fuck is it Collins, you had one job, just one job just to take care of that bitch but you couldn't, you just couldn't and still had the nerves to calm me on phone "

"I have a scoop that will get you employed in any company except Global of course, want to hear it or ..... Not"

"What is it, talk , am busy"

"It's about the real relationship between Xavier and Jessica "

"Isn't it a normal one? WTF no fucking way, don't tell me they are in a sponsorship relationship? They are trading sex?"

"Nope, far from that"

"Are they in a relationship, well I wouldn't be surprised she left you for him, I mean I would "

"Better than that, now, listen to me, this is what we will do"

"Ehh!, seriously?"

"That sounds like a good plan right?"

"Yes, Collins, will do exactly that, as fate would have it, I have an interview tomorrow, and guess where?"

"Are you crazy? How am I supposed to know"

"Hush boy, well it's at Global's rival, Universe, they called me for an interview tomorrow at their main branch and this is a good scoop to go with, just wait for my news tomorrow "

XAVIER'S POV

I was surprised about this, I thought they lost contact since the wedding, I never knew he approached her two times since then.

"So, you mean to tell me that he has been disturbing you after he ditched you at your wedding day and you didn't seem it good to tell me"

"I can handle it on my own and besides, am I to tell you everything?"

"Handle it on your own, so what is the outcome of it? A fractured wrist who knows what will happen next time and let me remind you again, I am your husband whether contract or not"

"Why do you care, it's none of your business, you are my husband just in contract, no real relationship except giving birth and taking each other as strangers and besides how can I trust you"

I was shocked at what she said, she is right though it's just contract but she saying it made me feel intense pain, yes Mike was fucking right, I like you a lot than I let on actually. It really hurts, so she never considered me as anything even after everything.

"Yes you are right, I have heard you and will butt out of your business from now on"

I left the room but it wasn't helping, I decided to leave the house entirely, being in this space as her is so suffocating.

"Hello Mike, come to TRIP & TEASE BAR, right now, what, I can't hear you just get your ass out here "

An hour later,

"What the hell bruh, you have to do this today ..... did you have a fight with Jessica, what's wrong?"

"She just stated facts but it hurts so bad, just drink with me, bills on me and no noise "

"Don't tell me you gonna let that dude get away with that ?, he should pay for that"

"Of course I will make him pay, I just need to cool my head this night, a lots of things are passing through it at once and it's suffocating me"

"Calm down men"

"Come on drunk Mike at least as a make up for the movies "

"You still have that in my mind, petty bastard, well it's weekend and Laura won't be complaining, so okay then , let's get wasted "

JESSICA'S POV

"Duu, duu, duu, the number you dialed is unavailable at the moment, please call back later"

"Where is he, he is not answering my calls, hope he is okay, I really didn't mean to say that to him honestly, I was just angry about everything"

I sat down at the edge of the bed, I know I messed up.

Monday came and I went to the office alone because Xavier didn't come back throughout weekend, I was dropped by the driver, I was so busy worrying I didn't see the type of stares I got from everyone, everywhere was silent as I passed by, as if there is something happening, I didn't mind I sat on my seat and started work as usual but the stares was worrying and distracting

"So shameless, I wouldn't show my face at the office if I was her"

"Maybe she didn't see the news"

Huh!, what are they saying, what news??
