2: I’ll Divorce Him

ROSHIDA

As I sat in my room that night, I felt like a fool.

It was now my room because Felix had come in and said that he was now going to be sleeping with Kelly.

Of course, I should have seen that coming. After everything that I'd done for this family, all because I felt that I had a new family.

Felix didn't have a lot of money before. He was a Beta with little to nothing going for him so of course, when I married him, it meant that I had to do something for him and his family.

I'd started by taking over his mother's medical bills. When he left, she was in dire need to help and I didn't think twice before paying for everything.

Now, he's come back to see her in better shape and he didn't even say anything to me.

The only thing he could do was bring another woman home with him.

I should have seen it coming right from the start. The way he agreed to marry me without knowing anything about me.

I didn't want to blame my mother for my present predicament. She had only done what she thought was right. I wonder what kind of man he thought she was and what he had done to make her think he was a right fit for me.

It was an act of desperation, probably she'd only looked at his fighting skills, hoping that he'd be able to protect me if need be from people who want to take over my father's property.

I was the last living person from my father's house. One day we were a loving family of six, my mother, my father, my three brothers and I and the next thing I know, I was saying goodbye to my mother on her death bed while having just noticed my father and brothers.

Growing up, I never really knew my family.

“Your father, when you were born, saw how fragile you were. Maybe it was an Alpha thing but he saw that you were different. His little baby girl, he didn't want you to be hurt growing up around your rough brothers.” My mother had told me one day when I'd asked why I wasn't raised with my brothers.

My father had sent me to be raised with a group of warriors and there, I'd been trained to be a fighter. It was all I knew, all I woke up to everyday.

It's one thing I thanked my father for. Because of him, I was never able to be bullied even though I was a girl.

He wasn't far from the truth. I never got my wolf when the time came. At that point, I thought there was something wrong with me and I was being treated like an outcast despite being the Alphas daughter.

By the time I would return home, I was not able to spend a lot of time with my father and brothers. They went to fight off the rogues that had been seeming to invade our lands and they never made it back.

I'd been with my mother the day they brought four purple coffins to the throne room. I remember just standing there and looking at them because the tears wouldn't come.

It was after the burial that my mother's health began to decline. I guess the shock of losing her husband and almost all her kids did so much to her.

Maybe that was why she felt that she had to secure my future by looking for a husband for me. Out of all the men that came forward, I remember that Felix had not even been a part of the people if found attractive..

But my mother was looking for something else.

“He’s the only one with a sincere heart. He's the only one who didn't care that you didn't have a wolf. He said he would take care of you. He said you will be his priority. I just want a man that will treat you right.”

I'd trusted her judgement, I'd thought that he'd shown her his real side and I'd gone ahead with it. I should have asked to speak to him in person, though I doubt I would have known the truth by myself.

Just like that, I had agreed to be married to a man that would leave me for another three months after our wedding.

Who was I to blame now?

My dead mother who just wanted to look into for me?

Myself for not hesitating to marry a man I barely knew?

Or Felix for seeing an opportunity and grabbing it?

The door opened and his mother walked in. I turned away from her and rolled my eyes, knowing that she was going to say something that would piss me off.

”You should come down and greet Kelly. After all, she's going to be Luna. You should pay respect to her.”

I didn't answer her.

“Besides, since you'll be planning the wedding, you should meet her so you'll know her taste.”

Everything in me wanted to tell her to get out.

“Also Felix wants to give you the budget for the wedding. He doesn't want you spending too much on the wedding since they'll be having kids immediately after.”

That was what got me to look at her.

“I don't understand.”

“What don't you understand? You'll be sponsoring the wedding. He just returned from a war and you don't expect him to spend all that money, do you? They didn't plan for this to happen so give them a break.”

I couldn't help but laugh. That's all I could do. Laugh.

“You have to be joking. That has nothing to do with me. I'm not spending all that money on their wedding.”

Her face changed to that deep frown of hers.

“Well, you're going to have to. There's no money in this house and I will not allow my son to be disgraced. You will spend every dime you have, if you have to.”

I should sponsor the wedding of my husband with another woman? Over my dead body. If they wanted to kill me, they might as well goa head and do it.

Fiona walked.in and joined the conversation.

“Mother, why are you wasting your time with her? Forget about her. She'll do what she has to do even if she doesn't like it.”

Both mother and child stood in front of me and laughed in my face and I just froze, not even being able to say anything for myself.

I didn't react until they slammed the door shut behind me. This had to be a joke.
