My Ex Next Door

Novie's put a hand on her chest when she suddenly felt a pain throbbing inside, she quickly ran her eyes all over Anna's body and realized their difference.

The woman passed by her and walked straight to Yvette.

"Are you coming?" Evan asked as he entered the elevator. Novie hesitated if to leave or not, suddenly her tiredness disappeared.

"Can we stay?" she stuttered as she asked Evan.

The man sighed stopped the elevator from closing.

"Ok, let's stay here" saying that, Evan steps out of the elevator and walked to Glen's direction.

Novie suddenly felt uncomfortable, she regretted not leaving. She walked back to her chair and sat down, as she settled, her back leaned on the chair and closed her eyes.

Novie rested her eyes but her ears are fully open.

"What happened to them?" A graceful voice spoke from somewhere, Novie realized that it must be Anna since she's the only person around whom she hasn't spoken yet.

"Daniella happened" it was Yvette's voice, Novie figured that Anna must be asking about the doctors on the ground.

Then she heard Anna smirked, "Of course, Daniella. Always Daniella. That woman always gets herself into trouble and expect her husband and brother to clean up her mess" Novie could hear the bitterness in her voice.

She heard Yvette giggled and a door opening, Novie instantly opened her eyes and look at the direction of the emergency room.

Daniella came out with anger all over her face. Novie straightened and about to go her direction when Daniella stood in front of Anna and crossed her arms, fuming.

Novie was confounded, as far as she knows they are friends but the way they looked at each other, they 're like two lion fighting over territory.

What surprised her the most was when Evan immediately stood next to Daniella and held her shoulder.

(Ok, what is happening?) she was so confused.

"Hey, is ken fine?" Novie asked, Daniella, looked at her and shrug a shoulder.

"Danny is stitching his wound." then Daniella shifted her eyes back to Anna.

"Why are you here?" Daniella spoke in an angry tone.

Novie noticed Anna's chest rising up and down as she takes a long breath.

"I was expecting for you to apologize after you ruined my wedding" Anna replied in a sharp tone.

Novie raised an eyebrow by Anna's words, confused by what she meant.

"I warned you. I asked you to break your engagement with Ken but you… You closed your ears and proceed with the wedding" Daniella gnashed her teeth.

(what? wait does it mean the wedding really happened?) Novie wanted to talk and ask Daniella but her lips were sealed.

Ken mentioned nothing about the wedding, they didn't talk about it because she doesn't really care. This was the first time she heard about the wedding.

"Because I talked to Ken, and he was ready to accept me to be his wife until you bomb my wedding and take my groom away!" Anna yelled at Daniella.

Daniella widened her eyes and moved closer to Anna but Evan stopped her while Glen stood between them.

"Of course Ken will accept you because you deceived him. And don't even think about seducing my brother because I will never accept you as my sister in law" Daniella shrieked.

Novie could see the darkness around Anna. The woman clutched her fist and focused at Daniella.

"I don't need your approval. If he wants to be with me then it's not your position to disagree" Anna replied back.

The two women fire a lot of nasty words to each other, while Novie was still puzzled. Thinking why Anna hasn't moved on. And why Ken would want to be with her.

"Well, I don't think my brother would want you. He only took you out of pettiness. He's kind to everyone, remember Donna? he even helped her with her eyes"

(What pity? Oh God! What is happening?)

(When did Ken take Anna?)

(Donna! isn't the woman's name?)

Novie scratches her head in confusion. Matthew mentioned earlier about the photo she received and she found out that Alexa edited it but she didn't know that Ken also helped Donna.

"At least he's the only one who understands how I felt. He was so focused on protecting your ass that the woman he loved left him"

(!)

(Wait… Left?… who?… I didn't leave Ken for Daniella…what the hell is happening?)

Novie's head starts spinning with all the unanswered question. She's still wondering if they are talking about Ken or some invisible brother.

"My brother doesn't love you" Daniella's voice made her senses came back.

(Yeah! Ken doesn't love you) Novie blurted inside, she was standing with her hands folded together and watched the drama in the front.

"Wow! Are you him? How can you say he doesn't love me?" Anna replied in a mocking tone.

(Duh? Because he loves me?) Novie wanted to answer back, but her lips were tightly closed."Because…" Daniella stuttered and turned to her husband asking for help.

"Oh wow, the almighty Daniella stuttered" Anna laughed in sarcasm and shook her head.

"Where is he?" Anna asked when Daniella didn't reply.

"My brother is busy so you can leave..." Daniella rudely responded.

"I am not leaving without him," Anna answered in a deep voice.

(Wait? What does she mean by that?) she wondered, even after the operation, she's certain that Ken will need to stay in the hospital until his body is fully recovered.

(So she's going to stay here with me?) Novie's heart throbbed, she doesn't want to compete because she knows that Bea would prefer Anna than her, and with her situation right now, she's afraid that she will feel out of place.
