Goodbye Forever Ex-Husband (by Ammund) novel Chapter 52

HAPTER 052

OLIVIA’S POV

The bright room light above me was the first thing I noticed as I slowly opened my

eyes.

Then a few seconds later the pain kicked in, my head was aching, my whole body was full of bruises and it hurt a lot.

Still, I managed to sit up, I was back in the bedroom. The last place I remembered was the basement.

I turned around to see Adrian seated on the chair, his head tilted slightly forward, eyes. closed. He was asleep. His presence alone made my stomach twist. I swallowed hard and slowly lifted my arms, inspecting them in the soft glow of the bedside lamp.

Belt marks.

Dark, angry welts covered my skin, crisscrossing over my arms like a cruel reminder of last night. I winced as my fingers barely brushed against one of the swollen marks. The pain was still fresh, burning, and unforgiving.

My hand instinctively moved to my stomach. A strange feeling settled in my chest, and my thoughts drifted back to yesterday.

must have passed out yesterday when we were in the basement, but that’s not what disturbed me the most before I passed out I could feel the room spinning, my ears were ringing and I couldn’t feel the pain from the belt anyone, it was like my whole body went numb before I passed out. This leads me to another question…

Why did I pass out, it couldn’t be because Adrian was hitting me with the belt, it started at the party, after I took the glass of champagne I started feeling dizzy but I ignored it,

A deep sense of unease settled over me. I needed to go to the hospital and see a doctor, both to check my bruises and what had been wrong with me for a while. No more excuses. I had to know if something was wrong with me.

A soft vibration against the mattress drew my attention. My phone.

I turned carefully, trying not to make tooth as I reached for it. The screen lit up with several unread messages. My chest tightened as I saw the name flashing on the screen.

Julian.

I hesitated, biting my lip. My thumb hovered over the screen, my mind battling against itself. I wanted to tell hi

I wanted to let him know what Adrian had done to me. But would it even make a difference? Would telling Julian change anything?

I inhaled shakily, my heart pounding in my ears. Adrian had become unpredictable, more dangerous than ever. Everyday felt like walking on thin ice, never knowing when

it would crack beneath my feet.

I opened the messages.

Julian: Hey, are you okay?

Julian: I haven’t heard from you since yesterday. Call me when you can.

Julian: Olivia, please answer me. I’m worried.

My fingers trembled as I typed a

I pressed send before I could overthink it and locked my phone, clutching it tightly in my hands.

Exhaustion? He called the doctor yesterday? So if the doctor said it was due to stress was there any need for me to still go to the hospital?

He then had to lie, he didn’t want me to know, I hoped it wouldn’t be a problem when I
