I woke up in a dimly lit room feeling very strange.
The environment was very familiar and I was in a wedding gown. Was I getting married again? My head was filled with so many questions as I struggled down the bed to the mirror beside.
I was so young, I touched my face before everything came back to me. I was killed by my sister and husband, but then, seems like I was reborn, I was actually given a second chance, I fall to the ground as I cried bitterly feeling so much relief. I vowed then, never to make the same mistakes again.
I tore away some pieces of my wedding gown and got rid of the shoes I was putting on. Then I heard some voices and I remembered the night I was raped, they came into the room almost immediately so I needed to find a way out, I walked to the door but just then, the door opened and three huge and ugly men walked in, even in my new life, the memory still haunted me and I felt weaker at the thought of it.
Without further thinking, I ran to the end of the room and picked up a vase to defend myself as they screamed and chased me, I didn't want the same thing happening to me again and I was really desperate to get out of there.
Then, I noticed the balcony door open and rushed out of it without, I didn't want to die, but I had to save myself, the next balcony was open. The men got closer and then I hurried over to the edge and struggled to the next room and ran inside shutting the balcony door.
I was drugged and weak, I couldn't even think straight because of the danger I just escaped from. But then, I heard a voice which made me freeze on the spot
"what do you think you're doing?" he said as he stepped towards me. It was a young man with light brown hair looking like he just woke up from sleep. He was deadly handsome, even Clark was nothing compared to him.
"Speak what do you want" he said clearly very wary of me.
I mean I would be same in his shoes.
"I....I was...." I tried finding words but just then there was a knock on the door. I stood there while he just walked towards the door. That was when I realized he was shirtless. There was a tattoo on his back. There were wings beautifully carved and some other writings which continued to his front. His tan skin was well build and he looked just like a piece of art.
When he opened the door, I heard Anna's voice. I felt so much anger, I hated her so much, then I heard Clark, the perfect duo.
"Hello, please I'm looking for sister, I was told she got in here" Anna said and the guy turned to look at me as I pleaded with him to stay quiet.
"Her?" he asked pointing at me. The asshole. "We were just having some fun" I blurted out
"I am not done yet" I said as I walked up to Clark "but I am done with you" I said ignoring the hurt I saw in his eyes, but I didn't care anymore, I would never make the same mistake twice.
I walked back and closed the door. The guy held me against the door holding me on my waist. From that close, I could help but feel intimidated by his physique and fascinated by his breathtaking beauty. I couldn't imagine such a man existed. Just next door when my life to a sad turn in my last life.
"That was hot" he said as he brought his face closer till I felt his breath on my neck "but sadly, I don't fuck married women". My eyes widened as I drew away from him.
"I don't want anything to do with you. and I'm not married" I said with the last part almost like a whisper. I had to do something about Clark, I need to divorce him very quickly.
I hurried out of the room and out of the hotel.
I knew I wouldn't get anything from divorcing Clark, so I needed to get a job. Being the stay at home wife was not an option for me in this new life.
I walked till I reached my apartment, I had already prepared to pack my other stuffs into Clark's home. He wasn't average like me and his parents had gotten him a penthouse.
I picked up my phone and called Mr. Sona. He was a lawyer I had met in my past life before my marriage and he told me to call him in case in need.
"Hello Mr. Sona" I said as he picked the call.
"Hi, Alicia, its good to hear from you so soon. how are you and your husband doing" he responded
"I am alright, I would wish to know if we could meet, today if possible" I hoped things would go on faster.
"Of course, I hope all is well." he said sounding a little worried and I reassured him.
We agreed to meet at Preston's café and I got ready and left to meet him.
*************
"I want to get a divorce with Clark." I said once we were seated, shocking the middle aged man before me.
"You guys just got married..."
"I know, but I know this marriage would not go far so I just hope you understand and help me out." I said.
"I know sometimes we always get some bad feelings but it's marriage, Alicia, give it sometime.
"I made up my mind" I finally added and he stayed quiet.
"Does he know about this?" he wondered and i shook my head in response.
"He doesn't, if you could just process the documents, i will take them to him for him to sign"
"Are you sure about it" He asked again
"Yes" I responded, I wasn't going back on this decision.
"Fine, I will do it, but do think about it again" he said
"Thanks a lot Mr. Sona"
