Chapter 2 Cassy visits

The attention of most of the customers was now on Richard after they heard the woman's claims.

Turning around, Richard cursed inwardly. Of all places, why would he run into Selina Williams here? She is his wife's best friend and gas always sought ways to embarrass Richard infront of his wife. She never fails to remind Cassy of what a huge mistake she made by marrying a loser like him.

Richard has always stomached all insults in the fear of confronting her and getting into a beef with Cassy who seemed more protective of her friends than him.

Actually, Selena's words could not be considered wrong. Compared to the Prestigious Parker family, he was nothing but a pauper. He was a disabled man and on top of that he was poor with no family whatsoever so he definitely knew more than anyone that he didn't deserve her.

He met Cassy and the two of them fell in love. Although others warned Cassy about marrying him, she still went ahead with their marriage and lived happily together. That's until Melvin was born that things between them started going South.

Smiling awkwardly, Richard waved at Selena.

" I came to get my wife a present." He informed, hoping that Selena would leave him alone.

Hearing Richard's words, Selena scoffed disdainfully.

" Buy Cassy a present? Do you think you can manage to get anything to Cassy's taste? You don't even have enough money to feed and clothe yourself, how are you going to afford anything fancy for Cassy?" Selena uttered, her eyes filled with loath.

Looking at her, Richard could not help but wonder why Selena hated him so much. Yes, he was poor but did that mean that he was no human?

It was fine when his mother-in-law humiliated him and called him names but what right did Selena have to talk to him in such a matter?

It's not like she was related to his wife in any way apart from being friends.

" I only want to get something for my wife in peace and leave. I don't want to create trouble." Richard said and started walking off. He had zero intentions of listening to Cassy's stupid remarks. He was in a good mood and wasn't going to have some chic ruin it for him.

Richard had just taken a few steps when Selena's words halted him in his tracks.

" Since you are penniless and unable to afford anything from here, do I conclude that you are here to steal?" Selena asked.

Turning to look at the sales lady and the security men who had already arrived to look at the scene.

" You should be careful letting people like him here in this shop. You might not know when you lose something of value and are forced to pay." She said, making sure that she said that out loud and everyone in the shop heard her.

Richard's blood boiled to the accusation made to him. He turned and glared at Selena with menacing eyes. The Aura surrounding him changed and the air in the shop dropped drastically.

Seeing this, Selena was taken aback and shivered unconsciously.

The Richard before her seemed to have transformed to something else. But she straightened her back almost immediately after remembering how she managed to humiliate him in the past and he did nothing to retaliate. She figured out that whatever she saw was nothing but her imagination. Afterall, how could the good-for-nothing poor husband of Cassy exude such a domineering aura.

It was unbelievable and far-fetched considering that he was nothing but a disabled pushover.

" I may be poor but I have never taken anything that didn't belong to me. Be careful what you accuse others of." Richard said and walked away.

He was no longer in the mood to shop anymore so he walked away, leaving everybody dumbfounded.

Richard then took a stroll casually to another jewellery store and was thankful that they sold the bracelet he was looking for.

After paying for the bracelet, he left, boarded his bike and left for home.

It was six in the evening when he arrived at the neighbourhood he resided in.

Since he was not able to pick his daughter from school, an old lady living next door offered to help him pick Melvin from school and look after her until her father got home.

Walking to the kind lady's house, he knocked and his daughter opened the door for him.

Richard crouched down to pick his daughter up and carried her inside where the old lady was seated.

" Good evening grandma?" Richard greeted. The old lady had insisted that Richard call her grandmother and he readily complied.

" Richard, you are back? I was about to call you. The little girl has been burning up and I think she's running a fever." The old lady Informed.

Placing his palm over his daughter's forehead, Richard confirmed that his little one was running a fever.

" She has been running a fever frequently these days. I'll take her home and feed her some medicine." Richard informed her.

He had just finished tucking his daughter to bed after her fever subsided when the door to his condo was knocked.

Walking to the door, he opened it only to find Cassy standing there.

She had no expression on her face but Richard could not control how happy he was to see her.

" Come on in." He said enthusiastically, sidestepping to allow Cassy to step inside.

Cassy scoffed before making her way Inside. She eyed the house with disdain. It could clearly be seen that she would rather be anywhere else apart from here, making Richard wonder why she came in the first place.

Looking at her expensive clothes and thousand dollar handbag, she appeared to be out of place in this old and dilapidated house that had nearly no furniture.

" Should I get you something to drink?" Richard asked awkwardly. He didn't Know why he offered to get her something. Apart from a glass of water, there's nothing else he could offer her.

" Do you have anything to offer apart from tap water?" Cassy mocked.

Richard shook his head and Cassy scoffed.

" I am not here to catch up with you. I brought you these?" Cassy said, retrieving what looked like papers before passing them to Richard who stood stunned the whole time.

" What are these?" Richard asked. Something about the papers filled him with dread. He could already guess what the papers were about but he forced himself to keep his cool, praying against fate to be wrong about his suspicions.

" I believe you know how to read." Cassy said, glaring at him.

With trembling hands, Richard opened the first page and the words " DIVORCE AGREEMENT" stood out.

Richard stumbled and almost fell down If it wasn't for his fast reflexes.

" You want to divorce me?" Although he seemed calm, only God knows the turmoil inside his heart.

" Don't look so surprised Richard. You knew that this day will finally come so do me the favour and sign those papers. After today, we can go separate ways and have nothing to do with each other." Cassy said, looking unfazed as if whatever she was saying wasn't anything serious.

" What did I do wrong Cassy? Tell me and I'll rectify it, just don't divorce me." Richard pleaded, going as far as kneeling and holding Cassy's knees.

" You know what you did wrong? Your existence alone is a mistake. I wish I never get to see you. You Know what you can do for me? Just get lost. Get away from this city, if possible disappear from this country. I never want to see you anymore."

A tear slipped from Richard's eyes after he heard what his wife said. He could not help but wonder what went wrong and where?

They were happily married and everything was going on well so what got into her?

" Is this about William Carter?"
