You'll regret this Myra

Chapter 51 You'll regret this Myra! Royce had decided to drive the car today, when he had called that I had to escort him to some place,I had thought it was one of the many lunch dates that he had planned. Minutes later when he turned to the road that led to his house,our house, I knew he had something up his sleeve. The drive was mostly silent and I could tell that he was tense,all my efforts to make him talk proved abortive. He simply wasn't patient enough for all that I had to say. We got inside the mansion after he had pulled in and he turned off the engine of the car. He removed his seat belt and walked round the car while I adjusted my gown, making it shorter by manipulating the rope on it. He opened the door and leaned in to remove my seatbelt and helped me out too. Looking up, I saw Britney rushed out, happiness evidence in her eyes. However, her face tightened up immediately she saw me. Not knowing what else to do, I looked towards Royce and saw that he was now frowning. I realised at that point that he had intentionally taken me with him. He wanted to use me to break Britney. He was finally ready to end things with Britney for me and he knew that my presence would aggravate her. I smiled devilishly as I stood straight,I was ready for whatever Royce brought me to do and in fact, I'll make sure to deliver more than expected. If he was going to end things forever and legally, I'll be more than happy to help with it. Everything Britney now has used to be mine but she converted it through her devious means. It was time to show her that the tides could turn too. She had underestimated me for too long. We both got to the front of the house where she had stood but she said nothing. Suddenly,she turned and opened the door to the house and walked in. Royce and I followed suit. She was already standing by the fireplace when we got in and had a shawl covering her body with her back turned to us. 'What's going on here?" She asked and turned around. She removed the shawl from her body and placed it on her arm,her skin glistening from the light coming from the fireplace. 'You know very well why I'm here Britney,stop playing dumb," Royce said before bringing out a brown envelope that I hadn't seen with him earlier. He threw the envelope on the centre table and bellowed. 'Sign those papers Britney,I have no time for your nonsensical statements." She stood with her head high and clenched her fists. Then she went to the envelope and opened it. She brought the papers in it down and perused it as if she didn't know what it contained. Finally,she dropped them on the table with fury, sending some of them flying over. 'If you think I'm going to sign these, then you don't know me well enough, Royce. There's no way I'm going to sign those for no tangible reason, especially if it's because you think I'm no longer useful to you." She gazed at me and I smirked before taking a seat in one of the chairs. 'And why exactly did you bring her over? Is it because you want to show me that you've won and that she totally has you now?" 'Stop talking as if Royce here is a kid, he's an adult who's old enough to make his choices. And who knows maybe he just got tired of a nonentity like you," I chirped in. What I said seemed to make her more angry because she stamped her feet in anger and pointed her index finger at Royce angrily. 'I won't sign this Royce. You can't throw me away like some old rag." 'Don't test my patience Britney. I've already thrown you out and stop making it look as if you and I are in some sort of romantic relationship. Our marriage was based on convenience. I had something that you wanted and we had an agreement. Now that you have it, it's time you get the hell out of my life." He screamed. 'It's not love but at least I put my mind to it and gave it my all. And talking about what you had that I wanted. Does Myra here know what you are talking about? Would you love me to share it with her?" She asked, moving closer to me. Royce took three long strides and got in between us, separating her from me as if she was a leper. 'Enough with this, Britney! Why don't you try it, tell her and I'll have you buried six feets down in the soil. Sign the papers while I'm being nice or I'll make sure you have nothing, you'll go back to being nothing like you were before" Whatever it means for her to be nothing like she was before must have scared her because she staggered back in fright. Tears streamed down her face and she tried her best to clean them but immediately she cleaned it, another one fell. 'How dare…"she started but the word stuck in her mouth. Her hands went to her stomach which she held tightly. She closed her eyes tightly and then she opened it, reaching out to Royce who wasn't even paying any attention to her. With shock in her eyes, she looked towards her feet and I followed her gaze and then I saw it. The deep black red colour of blood streaming down her legs and forming a polka dot design on the floor. 'I'm not in the mood for any of this drama, Britney," Royce said but I knew better that it wasn't so. I stood up but before I could utter a word, her feets gave her away and she collapsed on the floor. Her hand was still on her stomach as she called out. 'Help me,Royce, my baby." That was the last thing she said before her eyes shut out. 'Don't just stand there like a statue, call an ambulance, " someone said as she walked down the stairs in a hurry. I looked up and saw that it was no other person than Selena. She rushed towards Britney and began to fan her, she opened her eyes again and began to speak again, begging for the life of her baby to be saved. Although I've envisaged making Britney suffer in so many ways, I never thought it'd be watching her groan in pain and at the edge of losing her child. If she wasn't pregnant, I'd have watched and relished the memory but I couldn't. If Britney loses her child, she'll definitely come at me with full hatred. Minutes later, paramedics arrived and they began to attend to her, asking Royce different questions. Royce attended to everything they wanted and went out to speak to one of the paramedics. The remaining ones inside carried her on the stretcher and were about to wheel her out. I walked past her as they did this,ready to go meet Royce outside but she gripped my hands with the remaining strengths she had in her. 'You'll regret this Myra if anything happens to my child. You took my husband and now the fate of my unborn child is left hanging. I'll make you regret this, this isn't over!" She said, taking me by surprise before I yanked my hands away from her. They finally wheeled her away with Selena following closely behind. We also got out of the house and entered the car. 'I've seen a lot today, please take me home, " I said as soon as I got in beside him. Royce nodded and turned on the car. 'It doesn't matter what you saw, I'll make sure she signs the paper. I can't have a liability around me, especially now that there's a possibility that she no longer carries my child." He said with no feelings whatsoever. I nodded in agreement but said nothing as I wondered if that was exactly how he saw me too after I had one of my fallopian tubes removed. ‘A liability,' that was probably how he saw me then too. Something that had to be discarded after it loses its usefulness. As he drove through the streets of New York, I knew I had to be ready for Britney.
