The Billionaire's Wrath

Chapter 4 - The Unexpected Stars

Milan slowly opens his eyes to see himself in a white room. The colour blinds him, and he shuts his eyes back immediately due to the throbbing in his head.

The sound of chattering causes him to groan and open his eyes again.

With Milan's vision still a bit blurry, he struggles to make out the faces staring back at him.

"Ohh, he's awake!"

Now able to see clearly, he almost cringes at the look on Ella's face as she stares back at him. Ella had a worried look plastered on her face as she stroked his hair mildly.

Milan wondered if he was dreaming and almost pinched himself as he began to question why Ella was being nice to him.

"Oh, doctor. I'm so glad he's awake. "

Ella pouted at the doctor as she continued to stroke Milan's hair. You would think she was an actress the way she played the part of a wife so perfectly.

The doctor walked up to Milan with a pen and notepad.

"Milan, how are you feeling?"

Milan opened his mouth to speak but couldn't get any words out as his mouth felt like a desert.

"Oh, you should hand his some water Ma'am"

Ella brought a glass of water to Milan. He stretched out his hand to collect it from her, but he was in shock when she had told him to open his mouth instead.

With a confused look, Milan did as he was told and Ella fed him the water, patting his head all through.

Milan didn't know how to feel at her gesture. He had craved this type of affection from Ella for a long time, but he never received it. He could only dream of it at night.

"Thank you,"

Milan said once he was dome drinking.

"Of course honey"

Honey? Milan almost let out a scoff at the strange word. From what he could recall, Ella had only ever called him insult names.

Not even his own name was ever heard on her lips.

"So, tell me how you're feeling Milan"

The doctor adjusted his glasses seriously.

"I think I'm alright. Although my head is hurting a bit"

The doctor scribbled some words on his notepad.

"Do you feel pain in any other part of your body besides your head?"

Milan tried to move his body.

"Um..Not really"

The doctor nodded and still took some notes.

"Milan, you're a bit concussed after the accident you were almost involved in. It seemed you also had a fever as well. Thankfully you were saved and suffered minor injuries. By that I mean some scratches. As for your head, you'll be given some drugs by the nurses later and you'll feel better soon"

"Um- Okay thank you doctor"

The doctor smiled slightly at him.

"Not a problem. Thankfully it wasn't serious. Do you recall any event of the accident"

Milan nodded slowly due to the pain in his head.

"Yes I can remember a bit of it. My head still feels a bit foggy"

Milan couldn't forget what his cruel mother-in-law had put him through.

"Don't worry about it. You'll feel better soon enough. You should get some rest. You're lucky to have your beautiful wife with you"

Ella sent Milan a sickening smile which made his stomach twist uncomfortably.

"Thank you so much Doctor"

The doctor sent them a brief smile before exiting the ward.

Once the doctor was out of sight, Ella's smile dropped and she looked like the devil. She swiftly stood up from where she sat next to Milan like had a disease.

"You piece of shit. Who do you think you are making me leave my work to come see your stupid face?"

Milan was silent. This was the Ella he knew. He knew it was all a pretence but a part of him had wished it was real for once. That for once, she actually cared about him.

"Are you trying to ruin my image?! What do you think people will say once they find out my husband was involved in a car accident on a night he worked as a freaking garbage collector!"

Ella scoffed pacing round the room with her two hands on her hips.

Milan didn't dare to look at her so he just stared at the white sheets.

"You think I'm so jobless? You can't even feed yourself and now you can't even take care of your life as well. What exactly can you do you idiot?!"

A sudden call from Ella's cellphone interrupts her. She glares at him before taking the call for a few minutes.

Once Ella drops the call, she picks up her bag hastily.

"I don't even have time to wate on you. I just came to check if you were dead or alive. You're useless anyway so you should have just died"

Ella's words stabbed Milan's heart like a sharp knife. It almost made him want to shed a tear.

"Also, if you think for even a split second that I'm going to pay your medical bills then you must have finally gone mad"

Those were Ella's last words before she stormed out of the hospital ward.

Milan closes his eyes for a second inhaling sharply. He took a second to be grateful he didn't die but he didn't even know if it was something to be grateful for. At least, he bad hoped that one day, just one day he wouldn't have to live a life filled with pain.

He picks up his phone and makes a call to one of his ex co-workers at the hotel.

"Hey man. Could you please lend me some money. I promise to pay you back"

He said to the man on the phone.

"No problem but you'd have to pay me back in a week plus, I need you to do something for me"

Milan furrowed his eyebrows.

"What's that?"

"I need you to fill in for me for a job. There's this huge event happening tonight and I got a job as a server but I won't be able to make it"

Milan nods as if the man can see him before he realises he can't.

"Uh- sure. Drop the time and location"

"Thanks man"

The man said and Milan thanks him as well. Once he drops the call his mind wanders to the man who had saved him.

….

The event was nothing like Milan had imagined because it was even better. The golden chandeliers and the famous stars dressed elegantly was what made the event shine.

The event has been an award show for the famous and wealthy. Milan was delighted to see many famous people he knew grace the event.

In all his life, he thought it was the best job ever.

"What exactly are you looking at?"

Milan's boss asked as Milan was caught peeping through the door at the celebrities who had arrived.

"N-Nothing sir"

Milan's boss sighed and frowned at him.

"Then get to work!"

Milan apologised quickly and ran back into the kitchen were he was given a tray with food to serve the guests.

"What table?"

Milan asked as he adjusted his red bow tie.

"Table 26"

He nodded to the chef and took a deep breath before he stepped out of the kitchen.

For some reason, he felt so nervous to be in the same room with such stars. He didn't feel like he belonged there at all. It was something he could only dream for a poor orphan like him.

Milan knew he would never make it to such a position but at least he felt lucky to be their server.

Milan kept his eyes peeled on the tables number so he could locate table 26. He didn't want to make a mistake since he was filling in for someone.

Milan's nerves calmed down when he spotted the table.

"Order for table-"

"What the hell?"

Milan's was in shock when he recognised the voice. He raised his head up slowly and let out a sigh in disbelief.

Seated on the table was there was Ella and Daniel.
