Chapter 20: Are you scared?
"Fight? Is it even possible?" He muttered more to himself than to Jessica. He would love to but the will to fight had long been extinguished when he discovered he lost the use of his legs.
From the moment he woke up he knew he had been defeated, he had become a pawn in another person's game, he has lost all essence of existence and is now just a shadow of himself — the pain, the betrayal, the scorn and mockery had all taken a toll on him because of a single reason, he is crippled, disabled and never to walk again.
He don't want to imagine himself showing up at an event seated in a wheelchair —the stares, the glare, the scorn and mockery of the people that once looked up to him, he wouldn't dare imagine what it would look like.
He glanced briefly at the lady seated beside him clamouring to assist him, he smiled mockingly—it must be a joke, an expensive joke. He sighed deeply "If wishes could come true easily everyone would have what they want." He said helplessly.
Jessica nodded "You are right. But one needs to try Davis, if you don't dare how do you win?" She asked.
Davis don't want to bother himself answering the question. It is clearly impossible for a loser with no extra card to turn the table.
But then, Jessica is a strong reminder of his downfall, her presence a testament of his inability and disability. No matter how he wanted to believe this lady, it is not possible even though he wanted to try, he wanted to turn the tables.
"Miss Brown, I think you don't have to worry about me rather worry more about yourself because this marriage is a sham that needs to end", he said. His tone cold and devoid of emotion much to Jessica's surprise.
It was a total shift in the man who has been talking to her, she had thought they will reach a concensus that will help them work out something reasonable but just like before he had totally shut her out. Jessica shrugged her shoulders "It really needs to end and will definitely end but then Mr. Davis not too soon". She smirked.
Davis glanced at her briefly "Not too soon?"
