She Took My Place (Ashley and Grace) novel Chapter 33

Chapter 33 

With the explanation finished, Antonio hung up right away

I lay numbly on the hospital bed, thoughts drifting to the surveillance cameras at home

So I checked the video feed, my heart sinking as I saw Eloise and Antonio making out

In their heated passion, they knocked over the camera. Eloise reached to cover the lens, but Antonio stopped her, grinning at it. Let her watch.” 

As they went explicit, a wave of nausea surged within me

I couldn’t take it any longer. I grabbed my phone and called the police. Hello, someone has broken into my house and is 

engaging in suspicious activities.” 

Then, I reached out to a lawyer I knew to start the divorce 

process

Throughout our years of marriage, I believed Antonio and I were truly happy

That bubble burst when his first love, Eloise, started working at his hospital as his intern

His attitude towards me had shifted ever since

He belittled my fashion choices and constantly reminded me that, without a medical background, I could never fully 

understand him

At that time, I started doubting myself

Now, I saw it wasn’t my fault

The lawyer drafted the divorce papers, and I sent them to Antonio

The memory of nearly losing my life lingered, haunting my thoughts as I drifted into a restless sleep

Before long, I was jolted awake

Despite the throbbing headache, I forced my eyes open and found myself staring into the faces of Antonio and Eloise

Eloise’s cheeks were streaked with tears, and Antonio grabbed my hospital gown, yelling, What’s wrong with you? Calling the cops on us? You want Eloise and me to go to jail? How could you be so evil?” 

Antonio yanked me off the bed, ignoring the IV still in my hand

The needle tore out, and blood began to seep

But he acted oblivious and demanded I apologize to Eloise

I stumbled and collapsed into someone’s arms

After muttering a feeble apology, looked up, surprised to see it was Jarvis

Antonio, are you even a doctor? Your wife just got out of the ICU, and you pulled out her IV,he questioned Antonio

Jarvis called a nurse to reattach the IV and then shoved the stunned pair out of the room

As the door closed, it hit meJarvis was the surgeon who saved my life, unmistakable with those glasses

I had no idea what was happening outside, but Antonio’s furious shouts cut through the air. Why are you protecting a stranger? You got a thing for my wife?” 

There was a scuffle
