THE WOUND

Chapter 24

I called him as soon as the clock displayed 9:00 P.M. He picked up the phone on the first ring and said, "How are you?"

"I am okay. Irritated and furious but okay."

"I would sue that fucker! How dare he!"

"Well, we will do that as soon as I am back in Ohio. For now, did you find something about his doctor?"

"Yes. I got his number and address. He is Aaron's personal doctor. And he lives in Greece. His name is Xander Marchese. I will text you the details. However, I do want to know why you asked for his doc?"

"I just want to ask him something that's bugging me since this morning."

"What?"

"Aaron has been accusing me of cheating on him and saying weird stuff about Jim not being his kid."

"That asshole! I am coming tomorrow with the first flight to Greece. Then I will check about this mysterious Monova Island."

..............

Dr. Xander Marchese was surprised when I told him who I was. When I asked him to meet me, he said he was coming to the big event that was going to happen the same night in the Monova Island.

Matt called later in the evening, saying that he will be here in around half an hour. Aaron left I don't know when but he did come to meet me around 1 PM and asked if I was fine. I just showed him my middle finger in response. He shook his head and left.

I called Rachel to babysit Jim. For a person who was always cruel towards me, she came five minutes before time. I handed over Jim to her and said, "I will be back as soon as possible. Then you can go."

She frowned, "Savannah, the party will last till midnight. Stay as long as you want."

I didn't want to make her suspicious of my intentions so I nodded and left the room. I dressed in a chocolate coloured silk gown that reached my knee and had a decent neckline.  I wore small gold earrings and a gold chain on my neck. I completed the dress with black heels.

Alex came to pick me up at 8pm and we left the villa. I received a message from Matt on my way to the party.

Just reached. Send me the hotel's name.

I sent him the address and told him to take the return tickets as well.

Matt - Already did that. You have your passport and other important documents?

Me - Got them. Thanks Matt.

Matt - :) what are friends for?

I sent back a smiley and waited patiently for the car to reach the restaurant. 

"Cara, your husband has been trying to reach you since hours, here," said Alex handing his phone to me.

He was driving the car, with his wife sitting next to him and I was in the back seat. I took the phone and placed it on my ear.

"Hello" I said dispassionately.

"Where is your phone?" He asked.

I didn't answer. He asked again. When he didn't get any response, he huffed and furiously said, "This has to stop Savannah. You can't act like a child just because I brought you here without your permission. Any other man in my place would have abandoned you by now."
