Chapter 231: Truth Hurts

The next morning...

Sasha was still fuming in rage, thinking about the package she received last night. There was a note written at the back of the photo, saying; "Your husband is cheating on you."

She was waiting for Melissa to come so that she could talk to her about the photos.

"Dominique... did you cheat on me? With whom?" Sasha mumbled as she watched Dominique’s sleeping figure.

She didn’t know how she would accept it if Dominique had an affair with another woman. But there was another lingering question in her mind.

’Is he cured? Can he do physical intimacy now? Since when? And how did it happen?’

Sasha was lost in her thoughts when Melissa entered the ward.

"Hey, Sash! What’s the problem? I came here as soon as I read your message." Melissa threw her a direct question as soon as she arrived.

Sasha grabbed Melissa’s hand, pulling her to the nearby sofa. Then she picked up the photos inside her bag and showed them to Melissa.

"OMG. What is this?" Melissa gasped in shock.

"Someone anonymous sent this to me last night," Sasha informed her.

Melissa frowned in confusion. "Sasha, I think someone wants to destroy your marriage. Don’t be affected by this. Who knows these pictures are edited. Remember? Dominique’s condition hasn’t been cured yet. He couldn’t have sex with anyone. So you must calm down and clear your mind." Melissa reminded her.

"I know! But who the fuck is trying to mess with me? I want to slap that bitch!" Sasha mumbled through her gritted teeth.

"What if... this woman is Lanny?" Sasha started getting suspicious of Lanny.

"There is only one way to find out... we need to catch them in the act. Do you want to confront her?" Melissa asked her.

"Of course! I am dying to talk to her." Sasha’s expression turned ashen.

Melissa just took a deep sigh. She wanted to console her friend. "Don’t dwell on those pictures. For now, you have to focus on what you want to do. The doctor will do the extraction later. Did you get the result of your physical examination yesterday?"

"Not yet. I was preoccupied by these things. I almost forgot to get my examination result," Sasha admitted.

"C’mon, Sash. Don’t be sad. Cheer up. Today is the day you have been waiting for." Melissa gently squeezed her hand, comforting her.

After hearing those words from Melissa, Sasha somehow felt better than before. "You are right, Mel. I should listen to you."

"Did Dominique wake up?"

The two ladies shifted their gazes back to Dominique.

"Yes. At around 2:00 am. But he is still too weak. He fell asleep again a few seconds after he opened his eyes."

"Alright. I will inject him with a sedative so that he won’t wake up. The extraction will happen in two hours, right?" Melissa put down her bag, searching for the syringe.

"Yes. We have to wait. Dr. Carl also dropped by earlier, telling me that everything is set. He also looked for the waiver consent signed by Dominique. I gave it to him this morning."

"Great!" Melissa stood up, walking toward Dominique’s sickbed. She prepared the sedative and was going to inject Dominique.

Sasha just watched her friend with anticipation. She had to forget about the photos and just focused on the Artificial Insemination.

"I’m not sure if I’m fertile today." Sasha blurted out anxiously.

"Don’t be nervous. We will know once you get the result later." Melissa tapped her shoulder. Then she brought her attention back to Dominique.

Melissa was about to inject Dominique when they both jolted in surprise upon hearing the knock outside the door. She immediately hid the syringe she was holding.

"Go and check who is your visitor today." Melissa urged Sasha to open the door.

As Sasha approached the door, Melissa hurriedly injected the sedative into Dominique’s body.

"What are you doing here?" Sasha raised her voice upon seeing the person standing outside. It was Ashton.

"I’m here to visit my best friend. How is he doing now?" Ashton asked Sasha, worries and concerns evident in his eyes. He just heard about the accident. It was all over the news.

But Sasha didn’t let Ashton enter the ward. Instead, she gave him a hard slap with resounding force.

Slap!

Ashton stood frozen in his spot when Sasha’s palm landed on his cheek. He didn’t expect this.

"How dare you, Ashton?! I thought I could trust your words. But you still betrayed me!"

"What are you talking about?" Ashton was both hurt and confused. He didn’t know what he did wrong to deserve this slap from Sasha again.

"You told Dominique about what happened between us! Do you really want to break my marriage with him?! Why are you doing this to me, Ashton?! Why?" Sasha started punching and hitting his chest using her fists.

Ashton’s eyes darkened when he heard that. Sasha was accusing him of something he didn’t do. Ashton could no longer tolerate this so he captured Sasha’s wrists thus stopping her from hitting him.

"I don’t know why you are blaming me. But I swear to god! I never told Dominique about us! Why would I destroy your marriage with him? Sasha! Is this what you think about me? Am I not your friend? I care about you and Dominique." Ashton was hurt by Sasha’s accusation. This only showed that Sasha didn’t appreciate what he had done for her.

"Whenever Dominique would open up to me about divorcing you, I would always convince him to think it over. I am persuading him not to do it because I don’t want you to get hurt. You are so unfair, Sasha. Why are you blaming me for everything?" He questioned her, his grip on her hand tightened. Ashton was trying to control the rage inside his heart.

Sasha was at a loss for words for a moment. She didn’t know what to say. She just realized that she said so many harsh words to Ashton and she could see that he was truly hurt by her action.

"If I truly want to break your marriage, then I shouldn’t have convinced Dominique to marry you four years ago. Sasha... Dominique doesn’t love you as a woman. He only sees you as a friend. Sabrina was the woman in Dominique’s heart–"

Slap!

Another slap landed on Ashton’s face. Sasha was enraged when Ashton told her the truth.

"No!!! Stop spouting nonsense, Ashton! Dominique doesn’t love Sabrina!!!"

Ashton clenched his fists as he gazed at her intently. "Don’t deceive yourself, Sasha. You know it damn well. Dominique has never opened his heart to you. In your four years of marriage, have you seen it smile genuinely? No! He didn’t. I only saw his genuine smile when he was with Sabrina. It’s time to face the fact, Sasha."

"Fuck you, Ashton! Just leave! I don’t want you here!" Sasha became hysterical, pushing and punching Ashton just to vent her frustration. "Even if he loved her before, Sabrina is dead! She will never come back! Dominique is mine. He is my husband! No one can separate us! No one can steal him away from me!"

Ashton didn’t want to argue further. They were catching the attention of the people passing by the hallway. In the end, he chose to leave to make Sasha calm down.

But even after Ashton had left, Sasha’s emotions remained on edge. The mere mention of Sabrina’s name always set her off, stirring a whirlwind of insecurity and resentment within her.

She couldn’t shake off the feeling of being perpetually compared to a ghost. Sabrina was gone! She was dead!
