Chapter 5 Chances Ruined!

Alyssa walked into her mother's living room with so much excitement all over her. She spends most of her days in her brother's house, but decided to visit her mom today.

"Guess what ,mummy " she did some funny dance steps as she caught her mother unawares.

Madame Harrison looked up at her curiously and said;

"What's that, Aly ? And by the way, you didn't tell me you were coming !" a frown appeared on her face and vanished immediately.

"Oh...well, I didn't realize I have to take permission to come here. This is basically where I live, mom" she grumbled as she sat beside her mother, while gesturing for her to guess what she asked her to.

"My mind is devoid of guesses right now, Aly. But, I'll try once. You got a role in another movie?"

Alyssa hesitated and then "Yayyy! You got it right, mom" she giggled and continued;

"Not only in just a movie. Mom, I'm part of the major characters and this movie would be seen only in the cinemas once it's out. I'll also be acting with an Italian actor, my crush mom. I'm so excited, and we'll be going to Italy for some important scenes " .

Alyssa was more excited about being in the same film with her crush. She saw that as an opportunity to distract him from his ex, whom she had started making life horrible for......

"I'm so happy for you darling. This is a great step for you and to the Harrisons as well. No one in this family has ever been in the entertainment industry. I'm super excited. Have you told Maurice about it?" Madame Harrison asked, happiness in her tone.

"Not yet, mom. I wanted to do that yesterday, but he came back tipsy " she now turned towards her mother and continued;

"There's another news , mummy. "

She paused, hoping to see curiosity in her mother's eyes.

Meanwhile, Madame Harrison was surprised as to what must have made Maurice tipsy. He wasn't a drunkard, he hardly takes wine.

Besides, that wasn't the way she expected him to manage the plan.

"Maurice told Ellen yesternight, that he's filing for a divorce " Alyssa dropped.

Jaw dropped, Madame Harrison gasped like she was so surprised. She knew this was coming, not after all the headlines and of course suggestion she gave. Her games were indeed playing well!

"Tell me more, honey. I am so surprised!"

And Alyssa began telling the tale, starting from how Ellen made a special dinner and all of that, till when Maurice came back drunk and noticed what she was doing . She carefully exempted the part on how Maurice got an air drop of Ellen's conversation with her ex.

Everyone were players, but no one knew the other's part in the game.

"You know, I never supported that goddamn union from the onset. I knew that Ellen girl was a bad idea, but Maurice wouldn't listen then. That serves her right by the way. She can go and move on with her actor ex!" Madame Harrison gritted.

"No!...mom. I mean, her ex might no longer be interested in her anymore once she becomes a divorcee " Alyssa stated, blinking her eyes and turning away to avoid her countenance showing.

It was literally obvious that the statement was more than just out of dislike for Ellen.

********

Ellen thought Maurice must have said those words to her out of drunkenness. How on earth did this issue get to the point where divorce is now the only option?, she wondered. She however, slept beside him hoping to find out if he actually meant what he said last night.

Thinking afar if it actually happens, she was already sure that her parents won't accept her back since it's against their values, especially her mother.

The sun shone through the bindings and reflected on Maurice's face which forced him to get up from bed.

Wiping his blurry eyes from sleep and avoiding the rays of the sun, he felt the soft ass of his wife as soon as his hand landed on the bed. His hands spanned over her buttocks as he squeezed her ass cheeks softly. His hands went up into her thighs and was about to begin the moment when he recovered himself.

A stern look appeared on his face immediately Ellen turned around and smiled and bit. She was awake and was aware of what Maurice had just started. She patiently waited for his magical hands to reach her core when he stopped.

Facing him fully, she realized a frown was on his face. Not when she was thinking he was already getting back to his senses !

"Good morning, Maurice " she tried to hide her smile immediately.

"What's so good about this morning? I feel so irritated right now, Ellen. Get out!"

Shock was written all over Ellen, she couldn't even move an inch. She just stared as she wondered if it wasn't the same man who almost started a romantic period few minutes ago!

"I said, Leave! " his voice came more louder this time and Ellen, out of fear, hurriedly left their bedroom.

Maurice simply felt irritated that he was almost about to have a good romance time with the same lady who supposedly cheated on him, and the fact that she caught him doing that angered him the more. The hangover from last night really had a hold on him , he couldn't remember anything asides from the fact that he was angry with his wife and had decided he would file for a divorce .

He remembered having his trousers on before he slept off, but woke up with just his boxers, his junior still erect. He simply got out of bed, had a warm shower and was dressing up when Ellen came in.

"I need to take my bath, I'm heading to work too" she stuttered, even before Maurice needed an explanation .

He didn't respond as he avoided looking at her. Something in him wanted to have her there and now, to feel her bare body beneath him and do lots of wicked things to her , till she cries for help.

The feeling was familiar....like something that was already done. Her nightie tempted him, as some part of her cleavage was out.

Swallowing a lump in his throat, he watched as she entered the bathroom and closed the steel door.

What if he gives her another chance? What if they just act like this whole issue never occurred and reconcile? Heaven knows he loved this woman! But, his mother won't take the disgrace those pictures alone had brought to the family name.

While he was still drowned in his thoughts, Ellen stepped out of the bathroom with her short towel loosely wrapped around her slender body. Droplets of water strolled down her thighs from the inside and Maurice could only imagine if it were his hands, doing the strolling.

Just as he was about to walk up to her near the wardrobe, her phone rang. Looking at her screen, the caller was "Lorenzo " .

Maurice fumed inside as every thought of reconciliation vanished from his head.

Ellen picked up her phone, only to see that it's Lorenzo. She stared at her phone screen and back at Maurice.

"Pick your lover's call, darling. I'm not disturbing " Maurice whined, with a sinister look on his face.
