A Lifetime With You

Chapter 75

Chapter 75
It was afternoon when Damien woke up. His head throbbed and Ava was nowhere to be found. Suddenly, Damien sniffed the aroma of herbal soup in the hallway. Following the smell to the kitchen, he saw the servant attending a small boiling pot. “What is this?” “It’s the herbal chicken soup made by Miss Nagel this morning. She instructed us to keep it warm until you wake up.” “Oh, she cooks as well.” It was his first time knowing about Ava’s culinary skills. Previously, Damien had never seen her entering the kitchen. It seemed like Damien had a long way to know his wife. “Will you eat the soup now, Mr. Radbury?” asked the servant.
Damien nodded.
The servant placed a yellowish broth in an ornate porcelain bowl in front of Damien. A faint herbal fragrance wafted from the soup’s steamy surface. He assumed it to be tasty even before tasting the soup. Not bad, Ava. He scooped a mouthful of the soup and tasted it. He was hungry and thirsty after a night of drinking. As soon as he tasted the soup, Damien choked and nearly spit everything out. It was…horrible!
The soup tasted sour. It was like a chicken being dipped in a ditch and then boiled for a long time! Although the ginger was added to remove the stinky fishy smell, along with some herbs to enhance its nutritional value, it seemed like Ava had forgotten to add some salt into the soup. What a disaster!
“This tastes more like alkaline water instead of chicken soup!” At the same time, Ava sneezed loudly while enjoying a television show on the sofa at her mother’s house.
On the other side of town. A low-profile yet elegant black car pulled up at the entrance of a motel located somewhere in the remote parts of the city.
A tall man with a hat came out from behind the vehicle and made his way up to the chipped stairs of the motel.

He stopped to knock on the door of the last room on the second floor. The door flung open and a foxy young lady was revealed.
“Finally you came! I am getting crazy!” The woman pulled him inside.
Then the door was shut.
The man took off his hat as he entered.
It was Enrico and the other woman was Beth.
“As expected, there’s no way Damien could have thought that we were together after all this time.” Enrico grinned slyly. Beth was not in the mood to beat around the bush and she asked, “When are you going to let me out?”
“You idiot! The last time you drove a truck and created havoc, do you think that Damien is oblivious about everything? If you try to pull off another stupid act and got me involved, then you’re off on your own!”
“Fine! Then tell me what should I do, Enrico?” “Beth, we have different goals. You want to kill Ava, but I want Damien to suffer forever.” A frightening and brutal look of anguish flashed across Enrico’s face. “What are you planning to do?” Beth asked. “I want him to taste every piece of pain and despair that I suffered back then!” He gritted his teeth and made up his mind. With that, this foolish lady that stood before him was the perfect tool for his plan!
Enrico smirked as he thought about the evil plans.
“I will go back in a few days and you need to follow my orders. Don’t act recklessly, Beth!” “Wait! Are you leaving me behind then?” Beth asked.
“I’ve told you that it’s either you take it or leave it! Stop dragging me into the mess, Beth.”
What a sly man!
