Revenge on my Ex-Husband

6. I WANT REVENGE!!

AUBREY’S POV

“Interesting,” Counsellor Lucy was quite psyched up.

“Excuse me?” I don’t understand why she can be happy about my situation.

“No, I mean that is interesting to listen to,” She added this and I almost lost it.

“What?” I gasped.

“Don’t take it personally, okay?” She begged.

“Oh, okay. So what should I do so as to heal?” I asked her. I was here because of healing. I had craved that, for a very long time.

“For you to heal, we must go back to how you feel about the two of them being together,” She said this and I knew that she would piss me off sooner or later. What is this counsellor all about?

“Please, I don’t want to go down that path,” I didn’t mean to differ, but I had to, for the sake of my own sanity.

“It will work. That is the only way, trust me, tell me about what you feel when you think about them kissing,” She insisted and I actually started thinking about them kissing.

The pain that I felt after thinking of this throbbed in my guy, it is deep and warm, but not in a nice way. It feels like someone has their hand in there and is squeezing my organs first gently and then as hard as they can.

I tried to breathe slowly and deeply until the feeling passed. Lucy was waiting for answers.

“How do you feel about Aubrey?” She implored.

“I feel so much pain,” I felt so much pain.

“I want you to breathe in and out as you slowly let the pain out,” She instructed.

“Seriously?” I didn’t understand this woman. Even a damn person knew that breathing in and out won’t help. I have been breathing in and out since they left me but the pain has never gone away.

“Come on, breathe in, and then out,” She instructed and since I wanted to give her a chance to prove her wrong, I did as she told me.

I breathed in and out about five times but I felt nothing. I only felt the pain I was feeling initially.

“I am so sorry to interrupt this counsellor Lucy but I don’t think you are of any help to me. I will heal and deal with my own problems on my own,” I was done with her and the counselling s**t. I am not saying counselling is bad, all I am saying is that I wasn’t healing as fast as I wanted. I wanted to heal and that is all.

“But we are just starting,” She hushed.

“I am so sorry,” I grabbed my bag and left the office. I will deal with this on my own. I know how best to heal from this form of betrayal. First of all I need answers from Eli.

I wanted him to tell me what I did to deserve to be left all by myself on my wedding day. After I deal with Eli, I will deal with Victoria.

I got to the cab as fast as possible before counsellor Lucy could think of following me out.

I was back home quite early and my mum was shocked to see me.

“How did it go?” She implored.

“I don’t want to be counselled,” I was honest with her.

“What!” I could see some disappointment on her face.

“I know how to heal mum, don’t push it,” I mumbled.

“But,” She really wanted me to go for those therapy sessions.

“I will heal. I will not act all stressed. Give me time, I will be the daughter you have always known. I just need time. Being betrayed by your lover and best friend is not easy,” I explained before walking upstairs to my room.

Shedding my clothes off, I went to hit the shower. As the warm water cascaded down my lithe body, I wasn’t sad for myself. I decided to stand for myself. I needed to trace Eli and Victoria and tell them of the damage they caused me.

I owed this to myself. I will also take revenge for what they did to me. No one deserves to be left all alone on their wedding day. I have to stand up for myself.

“Thanks for coming, “I told Jill when I met her the next afternoon at Java Café for milkshakes.

“You cannot ghost me like that, it is not fair. I am our friend too,” She scolded me for what I did.

“I am so sorry, I have just been through a lot,” It was not intentional.

“So why are we here?” She implored.

Actually, I called her here for support as I talked to the private detectives who are going to help me locate Eli and Victoria.

“We are going to meet with the private detectives I am assigning to look for Victoria and Eli,” I told her and she was in shock.

“What!”

“This is the only way I can heal. Therefore, it is either you support me or not,” She had a choice. I had already made up my mind about finding them and she was not going to stop me.

Of course I was keeping this a secret from my parents because they would never allow me to do this.

“Do I have a choice?” She implored. Clearly, I had left her with no choice.

“No,”

We drank our milkshakes in silence as we waited to be joined by the private detectors. My parents had saved a lot for my upkeep money in the future and this is exactly what I was going to use for their p*****t.

“Hi madam, my name is Peter and my colleague here is Paul,” Peter introduced the two of them.

“Okay, nice to meet you Peter and Paul. My name is Aubrey and this is my friend Jill,” On my part, I introduced the two of us.

“Pleasure to meet you both,” He chimed.

“I want you to find my ex-boyfriend Eli and my ex- best friend Victoria,” I handed them an envelope full of their documents. We were close thus I had everything that would give the private detectors a clue on where and how to find them.

We watched silently as they looked through the documents, one by one.

“Is the information that I have given you adequate?” I asked them.

“Yea,” Paul agreed.

“With the information at hand, we will be back with answers after one month,” Peter assured me before I handed him their money.

One month it is and I will lay my hands on them. I will avenge what they did to me. I was not going to go down without a fight. I owe this to myself.

After I gave them their money, they left and Jill was still in disbelief. She had not expected me to take this step.

“What?” I turned to look at her.

“Revenge will do you no good,” She advised.

“Listen here Jill, you don’t know what I felt when I read that letter. So please, support me in this or leave. Either way, I must do this for myself,” I had already made my decision.

“In that case, I will leave, “She threatened me.

“Leave b***h! Who knows, maybe you would betray me like Victoria did. I am f*****g done with friendship and that bullshit,” At this point in time, I didn’t care.

All that I wanted to do was to get revenge on the people who hurt me.
