before bending to his ears to whisper something that made him laugh.She had been visiting for months now and he always called her his childhood friend, I had tried
everything possible to always make her stay memorable and great but I had no idea this was
what was happening behind my back.
I was happy with being the dutiful wife, the wife that cared a lot about her husband and was
focused on thoughts of how to help him and better his life. I never saw the signs, I never took
them to heart and felt my husband would never do such a thing to me.
Oh how wrong I was..
"Why..
" I croaked out and he immediately cut me off with a sneer.
"Your father was worth millions once and I mean once, not anymore though. But since you're no
longer useful to me anymore, you can do us both a favor and sign the divorce papers.
" He grinned as though that was all he wanted, using his feet to gesture at the divorce papers I
had flung away when he brought it up and that it was that easy to just rid myself of my feelings
and I felt my heart prick painfully.
This was not the same man who had held me during our wedding night and told me he would
never touch me until I was ready, the same man who had showered me with praises daily.
My hand went to my slowly bulging tummy and I gently stood up from the ground where I had
been pushed to by his new bitch.
"So that's it? You're just gonna leave me for her all because my father's company faced a major
setback?" I screeched with pain etched into my features and he chuckled maliciously, his green
eyes glinting with an unknown light and there, standing in that living room that now felt so
strange to me, I wondered if I ever knew this man or was it all just a font.
The person before me was like a stranger, one I never thought I knew- my eyes burned with
tears.
"What else? I have what I need from you little bitch. That means you're no longer needed" he
made a ticking sound before he called with a loud voice.
"Oh come on, baby. Be gentle with her" the model whined with a sweet seductive smile at my
husband and I felt sick to my stomach when he gave her one in return before kissing her lips
right before my very eyes and my whole world shattered to tiny pieces.
"You don't have to feel pity for the bitch, love" He whispered, making sure that I heard him
perfectly before he said get her bags and throw them all out"
A maid dragged my three luggages down the stairs aggressively, she walked right past my
sobbing form and pushed them all outside into the beating rain and I felt my whole body shake
with pain."No hard feelings milady" Gen, the maid I had always looked out for and even sponsored her
last exams into the university smiled sweetly at me right before she grabbed my arms, fingers
digging into them painfully and tried to yank me up but I had had enough.
I slammed my head into hers and she shrieked as I pushed her away and shot to my feet.
"You ungrateful bitches" I screamed and watched shock flash in Justin's gaze, I had never
raised my voice on him
ever and this must have been a shock to him.
"My father sponsored your company into what it is
today you dog
" I screamed with anger as hot tears streamed
down my face and I angrily swiped them away. What was I even thinking trusting this scum bag,
my father had warned me of him but I had gone forward to trust him and help him out thinking
that It was what a wife should do for her husband. And I had loved him. God it hurts.
So fucking much- it hurts.
" And you Gen, if I had not paid for your education, where would it be now huh...?" I slammed
my foot into the legs of the bitch still clutching her head and she cried out before scrambling
away from me and that's when a sharp sting lit my face on fire and I glanced up sharply to find
Justin close to me.
"Stop being a drag, stop being such an unthoughtful per-
" I flung my hands and gave him a slap of his own and his head shot the side before it raised up
slowly, with shock marring his features.
"We might be divorced but that does not give you the right or audacity to lay a hand on me, my
father's company may have faced a major setback, but his people are still there and would die
for me. Touch me again and see what happens next" I threaten with a cold voice and his eyes
widened before he stumbled backwards.
"Security, get this bitch off my property" he screamed and I held a hand up to stop him in his
tracks.
"The papers are not yet signed, I will remember this day Justin. Y ou hope we never meet
again" I whispered as I picked up the pen and paper and quickly scrawled my signature on them
before I flung it at him and turned to leave.
Someone stepped in front of me and I looked up to find sympathetic eyes holding mine, Mr
Leonard was my family driver who my father had assigned to be of help to me when I had
insisted on getting married to Justin."Let's go home ma'am" he mumbled and I felt my heart prick as fresh tears tried to surge
forward but I pushed them back, I will no longer shed any tear for this bastard ever again, for
this scumbag who had brought me nothing but sorrow and pain.
My hands went to my tummy once again, I had no idea how I got pregnant, I had never had any
intercourse with a man and it was still bewilding how I got pregnant with kids from an unknown
origin or source.
But I would never abort them or give them up, Justin had no idea of it and I wished it to be that
way, this way we would have no tie holding us together any longer.
He had hurt me in ways none had ever done to me except my mother who had disappeared
when I was five, and for this I would never forgive him. Ever.
"Let's go home Leonard" I mumbled
resolutely.
The drive back to my home was quicker than I remembered, but it might have been due to the
nerves screaming inside of me.
My hands felt clammy as I recalled the fact that due to Justin, I had told my father if he did not
accept my choice then I would renounce him as my father. God I had been so stupid, what was
wrong with me.
My eyes burned once again but I withheld the need to bawl my eyes out, I had done enough of
those today. My heart pricked painfully at the thought.
"We're here. Ma'am" filled my ears and I glanced up from my bowed position to see the familiar
gates of my childhood home pull open to let Mr Leonard into the yard.
He stopped before the front porch and killed the engine but I just sat there, staring at the front
door. Dreading the confrontation I knew would happen, hoping to just get the comfort I needed
but knowing it was impossible to.
Father would be so mad, I missed him so much and had only called like five times in the space
of about six to seven months after my wedding. I knew this was not going to be easy and the
more I thought about it, the more I thought of leaving but why should I? I needed to come clean
with father.
I inhaled deeply before pushing open the car door and alighting, going to the trunk with Mr
Leonard to pull out my suitcases.
"I will ask the maids to send the other two up" Mr Leonard said with a reassuring smile and I
nodded as I grabbed the small suitcase before me and hauled it away, towards the front door.
My left hands enclosed around the door knob and memories instantly flooded into my brain, I
choked on a sob right before I pushed open the door and stepped into the house.The whole place was silent and I glanced around only to stop dead in my tracks when I saw who
was there.
