Under Her Wings

Abandoned Ex-Wife: Now Untouchable

Tao Yaoyao

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.

THE MEETING ROOM IN THE ROYALE PALACE (In the kingdom of Adrix)

The maids served tea to the king and his guest-the King,Queen and Princess of Utaru, a kingdom very far away in Scotland .

They took a sip from the tea mug, it was their second refill as they have waiting for almost an hour for the very important guest to arrive - The prince.

There was an awkward silence as the sound of the king of utaru tapping his fingers on the desk was heard.

From the looks at things, it seems he was getting impatient

“How long are we going to wait again, King Cecil?” he questioned with his Scottish accent finally breaking the silence

“Yes! We've waited far too long, isn't the prince coming?” his Queen supported and Queen Rodney - the queen of Adrix got up angrily

“He was supposed to be here 30 minutes ago” she muttered to herself

“Pardon me, I'll be right back” she stormed out of the room.

Taking the stairs, she went straight to the prince's room, still very crossed at the moment.

She met the guards standing by the door keeping a straight face as they held their long spear

“Where is the Prince?” she asked.

One of them replied immediately “He hasn't left the room yet, your highness ”. Queen Rodney heaved a sigh at his response.

“ Cedric?” she called as she held the handle of the door and tried pushing it, but it was locked.

She banged vigorously, What's his problem?

“Cedric! Open this door immediately or else I'll break it! ”she threatened but no noise was heard from the room.

“Break the lock! ” she Ordered and the guards obliged.

With their spear-staff they were able to break the lock after many trials.

She pushed the door open revealing an empty huge room, there was no one in it.

She went ahead to search the bathroom, wardrobe, clothes cabinet, the lodge, the study room but he proved elusive.

Where is this guy? She thought angrily. It's not funny letting them wait like that. Her eyes then caught a glimpse of the window - it was open !?

She clenched her teeth immediately.

How could you Cedric! “Go and find the prince, now! ” she ordered the guards at the door and they stormed out at once.

She stood there biting her lips in disbelief..

IN THE TOWNS MEADOW

The prince with a casual clothing is seen pacing back and forth like he was waiting for someone.

He gazed at the lake at regular intervals. He seemed to be waiting for something to happen or rather someone.

He went closer to the lake and sat on a bench gazing at the crystal blue waters. Picking up a bunch of stones he tossed it on the water and it did a triple flip before plunging into the water. He did it for like three times and then from the water reflection he saw it - what he's been waiting for.

He saw her pass behind him heading to the area where the ducks use to swim, He beamed as he looked at her, his heart palpitating with excitement.

He watched her steadily as she squatted and started feeding the ducks. She looked like an angel, with her regular sky-blue gown which always have an apron stuck to it.

Her curly blonde hair were like flowers and her skin, so smooth and shiny. She had a nice rosy cheeks that is conspicuous when she smiles.
