Chapter 5 Emily and Ethan's POV

It was finally the day and I couldn't wait to get it over with.

All eyes focused on me when I arrived at the court. My aura speaking elegance.

Mia jerked up immediately on sighting me, her face paled like a piece of sh!t, but why? maybe cos Ethan couldn't stop ogling at me.

She stood up and aggressively went out, but he never failed to run after her.

My hand unconsciously folded into a fist.

I didn't know how Dylan noticed it, but he loosened it immediately.

"He doesn't deserve you Lily, no need sulking over him." He muttered to me which made me looked up at him.

There was a vein almost pulping out of his neck, and his other hand folded into a tight fist, his face fierce as ever, as though he could strangle someone any moments.

I breathed in heavily and looked forward to the lawyer who was stamping some papers now.

"Can we be fast with this?" I muttered impatiently as I saw Ethan got back, I was already tired of seeing him.

"Why did you hide so much from me?" He muttered.

Why was he behaving so cheap, so if I had told him I was a heiress of the Richardson's, he would've treated me better?

"Apart from being a jerk, I never knew you were also a gold digger." I smirked as he clenched his jaw.

"Is that why you already have a boyfriend?"

Like look who was talking.

The guts.

"Sign here.." The lawyer muttered and I swiftly picked up the pen and inserted my signature.

Ethan did same too and a copy was given to both of us.

It was all over.

I was now officially back to Miss Richardson.

An unexpected lump formed at my throat but I had to let it go, as it would only weaken me.

Dylan held my hand and we walked out in style, I knew I shouldn't have let him, but I needed all the support I could get at the moment.

"It's that how much you couldn't wait to get away from me?"

I heard him spoke to me once again.

I was confused.

What does he want now? He initiated everything.

"You couldn't wait to get into the arms of another man?" He questioned, raw anger sprinting from his breath.

What was he even saying.

Dylan moved forward with a hard face, but I pressed his hand keeping him from going more forward.

"Ethan come with me to the hospital." Mia came out from nowhere with a pouted lips and spewing her words.

Well, Dylan held my hand tight and took me along.

When I looked back, Ethan was still staring, what does he want now? It was all over.

"Take me to the company." I voiced to Dylan and he didn't waste time opening the car door for me.

Just then I saw someone punch Dylan hard on the face, it was too sudden for him, hence he fell to the ground.

A thug or what in broad day light.

I panicked,

But that wasn't the case as I saw Ethan kneeling above him and sending another brutal punch to his face.

"What is wrong with you, how dare you hit him! get off him now!." I screamed, but to deaf ears as Dylan sprung up and began fighting back.

"Stay away from my wife!" Ethan thundered.

"Which wife do you have here! You both just got divorced. You've lost her, get that into your skull bast*d and leave her alone!" Dylan threatened.

Gosh this was f*cking annoying. Ethan was loosing his mind and he needed to visit a psychiatric as soon as possible.

We just got divorced and he was still spewing nonsense.

Worst of it all, his Mia was watching, tears threatening to spill out of her eyes.

I thought they said they loved each other, why was he clinging to me even after divorce?

"Go treat yourself confused man.. Dylan get into the car let's go."

I ordered Dylan and he stopped fighting immediately and sprung into the car, driving off in speed from the raving m*d ass guy.

"I'm so sorry Dylan, should we branch a hospital?"

"It's just a small bruise on my head, nothing serious How about you just go home and get some rest? It was a stressful day today."

He was right.

"Alright." I muttered and closed my eyes while he drove very gently.

Now that I thought about it, I wondered why I never gave Dylan a chance. He was almost same class as Ethan but very close to Father. He was ready to lay down even his life for me. I could see it then too but I never considered him even for few seconds. Maybe if I had gone with him instead, Father wouldn't have had to disowned me.

Anyways that was a thing of the past and it was also a matter of the heart.

I heaved a heavy breath and finally drifted off to sleep.

~Ethan's POV~

I used to have someone I love; we were childhood friend, but growing up together, we realized we felt something for each other. I especially realized, I loved her more than I've ever loved anything. We were both happy, but Mia was always sick.

Mia had to travel out to get her surgery done and also continue her school there.

She was my first love and I could lay my life down for her.

I was becoming lonely and slowly falling into depression, as we were always together before she travelled.

Then, I met Emily, she was a very fun and happy girl.

As though she had no problems in this life.

She was healthy and full of life. Her happiness was contagious it started getting to me. I became used to her and needed her so much.

When I was done with my classes, I'd go over to hers, and that way I began falling in love with her and eventually we got married.

Even in marriage she was still good, we lived like nothing matters in this world.

Three years later, my first love returned and no I wasn't going to divide the love anymore.

I was completely meant for my first love and nothing was going to change that.

I musn't do anything to hurt Mia. Emily knew this, she wasn't okay with it at first, but later she figured she had no choice but to accept I loved Mia more than anything in the world.

But what could I have done when Mia asked me to divorce Emily?

I'd have to do it right away.

She was frail and was always in and out of hospital, I must not make her feel more pain over someone as unimportant as Emily.

Hence, I brought the papers to Emily.

She was startled, but who cares.

I could say Emily loved me more than I've ever loved her, I was practically her life, cos she had nothing. Absolutely nothing to her name, hence she accepted all the atrocities from Mia all this years. But now I had to let her go as Mia requested.

How she would cope was none of our business, if she requested for money, I was going to give to her to leave us alone as Mia wanted.

But to my surprise she didn't ask for money and when I offered her, her gaze on me, she was heartbroken. But who cares.

But then all of a sudden, Emily changed.
