Motel For The Night

All I saw were huge hotels and obviously, it would cost a fortune to just spend a night there. Why were things like these in the outside world? Before now, you could easily see three local motels in a street but I barely saw any.

I kept on walking in further and then I glanced at the watch Adrien had gotten me for my birthday. It was already past 9 PM and I was still searching for a motel. I knew how unsafe it could be at this time of the day, since I had an experience of sneaking out of my father's pack last at night to parties.

I spent so recklessly and all my credit cards got restrained by my parents. And I became stranded. 

 REST INN.

Was the inscription that boldly indicated a motel at the top of a one storey building.

 "Finally."

I heave a sign of relief as I made my way into the motel. I was met with colored red lights at every angle which gave a shady vibe that didn't go well with my instincts. It was an indication that this place was a red flag but what can I do at this point? Remain on the street in the dead of the night and the heavy rain pour, or manage in this shady local motel?

Right there in the small choky reception, I could perceive the smell of cigarettes and heard some hysterical chuckles from different directions from the motel. 

It was evident that the voices were from prostitutes and drunkards but who cares anyway?

I went to the receptionist who was a guy and made my intent known on my arrival.

 "There are only two rooms available, one on the ground floor and another on the first floor, which do you prefer?." The guy asked politely and I sighed.

"I will go for the one here on the ground floor." I finally said to him after thinking my answers through.

It did not sit well with me to stay on the first floor because I could imagine a whole lot of things happening in the middle of the night. Like getting robbed or at worst, getting raped. 

I paid to him in cash and he gave me the keys to the room I had requested. Carefully treading under the red and blue lights flashing here and there, as I located the room that had been allocated to me. 

012. The big inscription came to view and I let out a short sigh of relief. I had seen enough in this passage already and just wanted to get into the room and rest my aching body. I swear, I was in a terrible mood coupled with bad pains. 

I locked the door right after me and turned on the lights which were thankfully not coloured lights, then I accessed the room. It wasn't a good or comfortable room to be in but it's atleast the best of the best at this point. Atleast I had a place to lay my head for the night.

Without pushing the suitcase and bag further, I walked right in and fell on the bed in a thud.

Damn! It was so hard and in no way succulent, it made my body ache even more despite getting on it for a short while.

Then I started feeling nauseated by an unknown smell. I sniffed the bed and then realized there was dried semen on the bed, with some other irritating smells.

The urge to throw up was strong on me but I kept it back and jumped off the bed immediately. I could not believe I paid to stay in an uncleaned room like this. I did not even have the willpower to go back to the receptionist to complain.

After succeeding in suppressing the nauseating feeling, I opened the bag Madison had given to me and brought out the water flask with warm water to drink. That would keep cold away for the meantime. She had some bottles of water put in the bag also. I did not know but I was just so grateful for her. 

I sighed after thinking of my ordeal that day, then I took off my clothes and entered the bathroom to atleast get a bath. 

I was the kind that was so sensitive to stains and dirt and everyone around me knew that. The toilet was not clean to my satisfaction so I was irritated by the sight of it

I just sighed and walked out of there. I opened my suitcase and brought out a face towel, had it soaked with one of the bottled water and then used it to clean my whole body, then I dried myself with another one.

I folded a few clothes and then laid the blanket Madison had put in that black bag on the floor, the folded clothes then served as my pillow as I laid on it. 

I closed to my eyes to sleep but I could not get any sleep. I just found myself crying, unable to get Adrien out of my head. Flashback to when he promised to stand by me forever, but where was he now?

Then I remembered the divorce papers he mentioned. I wiped my tears and sat up, brought the suitcase closer and removed the big, brown envelope that was in there. I unsealed it and brought out the paperwork in it.

They were indeed divorce documents. He just had me sidelined, got the papers ready with his signatures boldly fixed in where needed. 

 All of a sudden, I burst into laughter, pathetically. "Stupid fool." I thought aloud. 

After I had signed, he would be needing the documents back for finalization so what did he just do? 

I went through the documents word for word and when it got to the part where the reasons for divorce was inserted, I calmed myself down. 

I closed my eyes for a bit to have my psychological mind prepared. I was going to read the reasons why my loving husband decided to be separated from me. I knew of the primary reason but then a reconfirmation on the papers would do.

 SHE'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.

Just Wow! I started laughing hysterically, not wanting to believe what I had just read. 

 What happened to...'You complete me, Mira.' 'Leaving you would ruin me.' 'I am all out for you, wifey.' 'Having you with me, I could not ask for more.' 

 What happened to those assertions? To those promises? To those reassurances? 

Adrien was just so unbelievable. I scoffed. "Not enough?" I raised my brows, feeling so pathetic in between tears and laughter. 

I could not believe I had given my life to this fool! I went against my father because of him and his miserable family but this is what I get in return? Just beautiful. 

It was all my fault, anyways, for trusting such a man. It was my fucking fault for not been a complete wolf but I was glad they brought out their true colours, I was so happy.

I guess there was just one thing I would start chasing after from now on... REVENGE.
