Chapter 2

“Here is the Divorce Agreement from the family lawyer,” Rosy slammed the document on the table in front of Ken who was in the lounge.

“There is no need to do all this Rosy, you won't be getting a divorce, you are still my lawfully wedded wife,” Ken said calmly while he continued checking the files he was attending to before she walked in.

“Ken, you claim I am your lawfully wedded wife yet you couldn't give me my respect? Huh?”

“See Rosy, I have a lot of things to do unlike you who walk around the whole house all day.”

“That I am jobless? Is that what you are trying to say?” Rosy’s voice was mixed with tears as she didn't expect that from Ken.

“Am I wrong? Do you do anything all day besides cooking and doing the laundry? Tell me, Rosy, I want to hear it,” he relaxed very well on the chair looking at Rosy whose tears were on the verge of falling off.

“Ken, why do you hate me so much,” she said as the tears fell freely, “I always respected you and did everything expected of a wife but you have never seen it, why Ken? Why?”

“Rosy, forget about the divorce and just move on as though nothing happened.”

“Ken everything happened and so long I didn't lose my memory I can't live as if nothing happened.”

“What do you want me to do? Help you lose your memory so we can live in peace or what?”

“Divorce me Ken, don't you get it? I can't live in the same house with your pregnant mistress, please just sign the divorce papers and let me go,” she pleaded, joining her hands together.

“You want me to sign the divorce papers?”

“Yes, please.”

“Okay,” he collected the document from the table and flipped through it, “I can see you signed your part already,” he nodded, turned the paper then tore it to pieces, “See, I just signed it in a better way,” blowing the pieces into the air.

“Kendriiiick,” she screamed, holding her chest as she felt a sharp pain hit her making her go weak while she held a chair close to her for support.

“I have told you Rosy Brown, no one is leaving this marriage,” he reminded her coldly.

“What's going on here honey?”

It was Cassandra, a slender-looking and very light-skinned girl with a very black eye and brown body curl hair, she looked so lively and energetic and she carried herself with so much pride and elegance.

She walked towards Ken and she planted a kiss on his lips.

“Is nothing, sweetheart, are you okay?” Ken asked her with so much affection in his voice.

“I am doing fine, I heard screams inside so I came out to check what was going on,” she cleaned the sweat drop on Ken's face with her hands.

“You shouldn't have bothered, everything is under control,” he kissed her forehead.

They were discussing as if Rosy wasn't there and that broke her more.

“He has never spoken to me softly with so much love and affection in his eyes but here he is doing it to another woman,” she murmured to herself.

Rosy looked at him, he was the man of her dreams, he was handsome, with blonde hair, small round eyes, and a hairy skin that matched his yellow skin tone. He was tall and his smile was captivating.

He was every woman's dream, although she liked him on their first meeting, she didn't have the courage to talk with him. Eventually, when his mom talked to her about getting married to her son, she felt her dreams coming through and that was how they got here.

“Honey, I was moving my things to your room and moving your ex-wife’s things to the other room when I heard the noise, I will…”

“You did what?” He turned pale when he heard what Cassandra had said.

“I was moving her things out and taking mine in, did I do anything wrong?” Ken’s face went plain.

“She is still my wife Cass and you have no right to do that without informing me first,” he spoke to her calmly while cupping her face.

“Oh, I am sorry baby, I had no idea.”

“Is fine, I don't want you stressing yourself, tell the servants to move her things back and take yours to the room prepared for you,” he brushed the hair on her face while she nodded and left.

“Ken, how do you want me to cope with all these? You have never spoken to me that way, never have you shown me what it means to be loved,” she broke down in tears.

“I have nothing to say to you. You should be happy I didn't divorce you and I didn't throw your things out of the house.”

“But I want to go, I want to leave here, I am tired of the disrespect.”

“Go get busy with something and you won't think about anything anymore,” he packed the documents, “Don't bother bringing any divorce agreement again, they will all end the same way,” he left her standing there.

“Everything will be fine, just give him time.”

Rosy has been at Emma’s place all day. Emma Pritchard was her friend, they both met at Ruserick Enterprise during her internship, and since then they have been close.

“I never did him wrong, I always loved him and respected him as my husband, I can't stay in the same house with her, I have asked him for a divorce but he has refused.”

She was complaining bitterly to her friend who was comforting her, having soaked her dress with tears.

“Let's go out, to the beach or anywhere so your mood can lighten before you go home.”

“That’s a good idea, I need to get the thought of them off my head.”

After a long drive, they got to their destination, which was a restaurant that had a game arcade attached to it.

While they were waiting for their orders, having random discussions someone spoke from behind.

“I can see you are having fun,” it was a female voice.

They both turned to see who the voice belonged to, it was Cassandra.

“Nice meeting you,” she stretched her hands towards Emma for a handshake and Emma reciprocated not knowing who she was.

“How can I help you?” Rosy asked with a little harsh tone.

“Well, I am Cassandra Lucas, Kendrick’s Pregnant soon-to-be wife,” she ignored Rosy's question, her attention was still on Emma, the beautiful blonde woman with fine almond eyes.

Emma got very mad on hearing that from Cassandra, “You are just his mistress carrying his illegitimate child, that means, you are just his baby mama,” Emma flared up.

“Then your friend here will be his ex-wife soon, watch me,” she smiled sheepishly.

“If that will happen, why has he refused to sign the divorce papers?” Cassandra was shocked when she heard that from Rosy.

“He is just waiting for the right time.”

She was trying to defend herself because she thought Kendrick must have asked his wife for a divorce before telling her to move in, that was the reason she did as if she hadn't seen her the other day when she was discussing with Kendrick.

“Then let him hurry up with it,” Rosy spoke in a firm voice.

“I will pass your message across to him,” Cassandra smiled as she got the information she wanted, she was not welcomed by the two women.

“Well, I don't think there is a need for you to pass the message as I have done that already,” Emma said as Cassandra’s smile turned dry.

“If you say so then,” her voice got stiff, “Well, I came to get some food for myself, my unborn baby, and Kendrick as well,” she caressed her tummy lightly.

“Mistresses are always quick to do that, do have a nice day,” Emma waved at her.

Cassandra knew she had better leave than continue the discussion with Emma as Emma wasn't hiding the fact that she didn't like her.

“Emma, you haven't changed,” Rosy laughed so hard that she forgot her initial mood.

“She deserves whatever I tell her. I see why you keep saying you won't be able to live in that house with her.”

The waitresses brought their orders, they devoured their food in a hurry as they had waited a long time for their food to arrive while they continued to talk about other things.
