CHAPTER TWO

“He is …” Isabella stuttered.

 

“Isabella, answer me right now! Who is this miserable man on the floor right here?" Lucas gritted his teeth.

 

Isabella stared at Alex. Her demeanor changed. She smirked.

 

“Lucas, this is my miserable husband I told you about. "Heaven knows that I never wanted to get involved with him in any way!” Isabella sneered.

 

“Isabella, you call me miserable?” Alex asked, pointing at himself as he gazed at her.

 

“Yes, you are! You are a poor, wretched brat who has nothing to be proud of except his in-laws name.” Isabella scowled.

 

Lucas turned to Alex. He stared at him from his head to his toe.

 

“You are quite miserable," she said. I can’t believe you were able to get the opportunity to be with this amazing lady.” Lucas frowned.

 

“I never wanted this marriage at first! He forced me into it! He even tried to rape me just so he could bear our family name. He is very....”

 

“You have said a lot, Isabella, dear. Don’t worry, I’ll deal with him.” Lucas interrupted.

 

Alex stood up from the floor. Tears were already filling his eyes. He has tried everything possible to please Isabella, but he keeps getting humiliation in return. He bent his head in shame as tears rushed down his face.

 

“Oh, poor dude. He is crying. Can you imagine? He is too weak! You don’t deserve to be a living thing. You are poor, weak, and wretched!” Lucas yelled at him.

 

Alex slightly raised his head. He stared at Isabella and Lucas and then at the package on the bed. He can’t believe that the pack of prophylactics in the package was to be used on his wife. Not only that, they had started having sex even before he arrived with the package. He thought that keeping quiet and walking away would make him look like a fool who couldn’t fight for himself.

 

“Do yourself good by gently walking out of here. You look so shameful.” Lucas scowled at him.

 

“Is he crying?” Isabella laughed.

 

Alex glared at Lucas.

 

“What is he planning on doing? Pouncing on me? You’re too weak to fight with me. I can just fling you through the window.” Lucas mocked him.

 

Alex gritted his teeth. He took a step forward. He noticed that his height was nothing compared to that of Lucas.

 

“Hey, do you want to fight with me?” Lucas laughed.

 

Alex pushed him to the floor.

 

“Alex, what are you doing? You better stop it now! Lucas’ family will kill you if they find out about this!” Isabella screamed.

 

“I don’t care! He humiliated me, and he shall get worse!” Alex landed punches on Lucas’ face until he couldn’t speak any more. Blood was rushing down from Lucas’ nostrils.

 

Isabella kept pleading with Alex to stop, but he gave deaf ears to everything she was saying.

 

Isabella rushed to the telephone and called security.

 

“I have called the security, and once they find you here, they’ll make sure that you’re thrown out of here and humiliated in public!” Isabella yelled.

 

“I don’t care!” Alex yelled back at her.

 

The security rushed into the hotel a few seconds later. They separated Alex from Lucas.

 

“Young man, are you stupid? Do you know that he is the owner of this hotel?” The eldest of the security guards landed a huge slap on Alex’s face.

 

“Ahh!” Alex muttered in pain as he held his face with his palms.

 

“Make sure he is thrown out of this hotel and denied access to this hotel ever again!” Isabella yelled at the security guard.

 

“Yes ma’am!” The security guards replied.

 

Isabella rushed to Lucas, who looked lifeless with bruises all over his face and blood rushing from his nostrils. Lucas winced in pain.

 

“I’ll make sure I kill Alex, I promise you!” Lucas muttered as he held Isabella’s face.

 

“Okay, I’ll join you immediately after I finalize our divorce.” Isabella replied.

 

“Divorce? I would gladly do that, but I can assure you that you can never kill me!” Alex chuckled; his face was red.

 

“Shut up!” The security guard hit his head as the others handcuffed him.

 

Alex was taken out of the hotel by the security guards. The people in the hotel stared at him.

 

“Is he not the son-in-law of the great Patrick family?” The people present at the hotel muttered.

 

Alex could hear them, but he ignored them. He bent his head in shame as he was taken away.

 

The security guard uncuffed him and pushed him out of the gates.

 

“Make sure you don’t step foot here ever again!” The youngest of them scowled at him.

 

Alex groaned in pain. He stood up from the floor and stared at his scooter. Tears flowed down his cheeks. He has done everything a husband can do for his wife, but all he gets in return is cheating.

 

“Once I’m rich, I will make sure they regret ever hurting me! I will make them bow down to me, pleading for forgiveness!” Alex screamed as he knelt on the floor.

 

He felt his stomach rumbling. He placed his hands on his tummy, but then he felt a bit sick.

 

“What could be wrong with me?” He placed his other hand on his forehead.

 

Blood slowly slipped from a corner of his mouth.

 

“Blood?” Alex stared at the floor.

 

Alex tried raising his head in order to stop the flow of blood, but then he coughed and the blood rushed out heavily.

 

“Am I going to die? Is this how it all ends? I haven’t gotten my revenge on any of them! I don’t want it to end this way! I don’t want to die a villain!” Alex muttered as the blood gushed from his mouth.

 

He collapsed on the floor.

 

Alex slowly opened his eyes. He stared around the place where he was and noticed he was lying on a hospital bed.

 

“Where am I?” Alex asked, staring around the room. He stared at his hands and noticed there was a drip on them. Then he heard an unfamiliar feminine voice which sounded robotic.
