Dear Ex Wife Please take me back by The Every Woman

Chapter 54 ~ He's mine

LEAH

I bite on my nails as I pace back and forth. My rage is so much I can't see clearly.

How did that bitch steal my man? He was mine to begin with. I worked hard just to be noticed by him. I had to look perfect, study his likes, and dislikes, and study his schedule.

I got lucky three years ago when he had that heart attack, luckily I was prepared. My mother gave me his medical file which showed he had a weak heart. For six months I moved with the medication knowing one day it will come in handy. So when he was finding it hard to breathe, It was me who saved him and he finally noticed me.

All that hard work just for a lowly orphan girl to come and steal him?

I mean, over my dead body.

"Where are the results?" I snap, my eyes furious.

I stayed away because I didn't want Ariana and Eli to see me. I didn't want them to know I work part-time in this hospital too. But I do. For a simple reason that is, I need eyes everywhere and even though I have minions I trust myself alone.

The nurse hesitates for a second too long, and my patience snaps.

"I don't have all day," I hiss, stepping closer. "Give. Me. The. File."

Her hands shake slightly as she fumbles through the stack of documents on the counter before finally pulling out the one I want. She tries to meet my gaze, but I can see the discomfort in her eyes.

"Dr. Woods, you know this isn't-"

I snatch the file from her grip before she can finish, my pulse pounding in my ears.

"I don't need a lecture."

"I just mean that-"

I glare at her and she shuts up.

I'm not here for any stupid lectures.
