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.

As I stepped into the bedroom allocated to me, I was taken aback by its elegance. "Exquisite taste," I breathed, impressed. The king-sized bed was the centerpiece, with bamboo wood stands adorned with intricate, flowery patterns.

The artwork on the walls was a treasure trove of colors and emotions, a perfect antidote for a bad day.

I rushed into the bathroom, and my jaw dropped in wonder. "Never seen a bigger bathroom," I exclaimed, and it's in my favorite color, "purple!".

The marble tiles glistened like the ocean, radiating a sense of serenity. I flopped onto the bed, grinning from ear to ear.

"Home sweet home!" I squealed, feeling like the luckiest person alive. "I hope Sheyla and her father treat me as well as this room is decorated," I chuckled, laughter bubbling up from within.

Grrrrrrrrrrr! Grrrrrrrrrr! I woke up to a blonde-haired girl staring at me, her face inches apart from mine. I felt like I was dreaming, but when I closed and opened my eyes again, the unsettling reality remained.

I let out a terrified scream and sprinted to the door, only to remember I had just moved into Mr. Pius's house, who has a blonde-haired 9year old daughter, "Sheyla!"

I returned to the bedroom, trying to compose myself. "Sheyla?" I called, extending a hand in greeting. "Nice to meet you. I'm the new nanny."

Sheyla looked at my hand with disgust and pushed it away. "I don't like you!" she exclaimed. and "I want to have a cake!" she said, storming out of my bedroom.

I couldn't help but think, "It's only my first day, and I already have a hater!" Sheyla's parting words still lingered in the air. I murmured to myself, "Oh lord, remind me not to get on the bad side of Sheyla...

" Grrrrrrr... I picked up my phone to turn off the alarm and caught sight of the time - 6:00 p.m. already! I had slept for a long time.

Mr.pius had said I could resume work the next day,"why is sheyla being hostile toward me? "To say that she is requesting for a cake today of all days!.

Truth be told I had only started mastering my cake making skills after applying for this job.

Gina had suggested I included baking as a skill so I watched videos on YouTube to practice until I landed the job,well everything happened so fast, I got called up three days later,here I am in my full glory and disaster.

Walking into the kitchen my present dilemma could not distract me from seeing the kitchen in its glory,I would pay to cook here!
