Chapter 43

Aunt Kendy felt pretty numb. Everything Lila had said seemed unnervingly ironic.

“Kendy, you have to be careful of the kind of advice you offer to a person in this kind of situation. This is a critical moment in her life, and she's dependent on you now to make a good choice,” she scolded herself.

Slowly and gradually, she took her hands from Lila's shoulders and moved to lean on the table, ensuring direct eye contact with Lila.

“But did you tell him that you're married?” She demanded softly.

“No, aunty. I had to feign having a light stomach ache, which was why he rushed me home.”

“Hmmmm,” Aunt Kendy sighs.

“I'll advise that you tell him the truth when next he confronts you about that again.”

“Aunt Kendy! I can't do that!” Lila exclaimed.

“Look, you have to do it, my dear. That's the only truth that can give you peace of mind. If he's meant for you, he'll stay, but if he's not, he'll definitely leave. Besides, you're not too sure if he's married or not, or maybe even divorce

    Chapter 1Divorced on my birthday “Honey, you've not said anything since we got here. You neither compliment my dress nor comment on my food,” Lila said.Grey kept mute, as though she were talking to a ghost, not even lifting his eyes and looking at her.“I suppose today should be my happy day. You brought up the idea of us coming here to spend some time alone, and now you're staring at me without a word? Are we doing a retreat?” Lila was losing patience with the serene environment.“You would have allowed me to party with friends rather than with this attitude you're giving me now.”“Enough of the talk already, Lila!” Grey yelled at her, dropping his spoon on the table.“In fact, I'm done! I'm done with you. You and I know that there's no chemistry between us.” Standing up, he ducked his hands into his pocket, brought out a piece of paper, and handed it over to her.“Ensure you go through those papers and sign the divorce. If there's anything you don't understand, you can contact my

    Chapter 2Signing the divorce Lila sat on the bed, with a towel still tied around her chest. She reached for her handbag on the bedside table and carried the divorce papers.She was still reading the papers when the door flung open."Com'on, girl, how often will you keep staring at those papers? This is a new phase of life you need to face. What you should be doing now is figuring out how to rebrand yourself and move on while you plan on your revenge, not sticking to old pains.” Eucharia said as she dragged the papers from her friend's hands.“I'm not taking any revenge. Even though I'm heartbroken by the way he served me the divorce, it will do more good than harm to me. At least I'm free from bondage.”“Bondage? What do you mean by bondage? I thought you said earlier that you've never suspected him of having an affair.” Eucharia said. “Even though I never suspected him of that, I've never been happy in my marriage.”Lila instantly became mute, recalling the torment she passed thro

    Chapter 3Secret exposed!“Why am I not hearing a woman's voice? Could he be talking to himself, or maybe watching a movie? But what a coincidence that his movie will be talking about signing a divorce paper.” Lila's mind was buried in thoughts. Her chest was burning like fury; she felt like pushing the door and pouring acid on whoever was behind the crashing of her marriage. But a sudden thought came to her: that action would only lead her into more trouble, as she would be charged with a case of murder and might be sentenced to life imprisonment.Sounds of kisses and moans continued. She was dazed to hear her husband moan and scream a woman's name, something he had never done while married to her for a whole three years, making promises of giving her heaven on earth. Lila was just imagining how her husband was on top of another woman, banging her like one who had been starved of s*x for decades.“I don't know how dumb she is not to have known that we're in a relationship.

    Chapter 4. Divorce conditions.“I know you had a long day. Why don't you take a shower and eat first? Then we can talk for all the hours that we like before we catch some sleep.” Lila wants Charia to eat first because she knows that once she narrates what happened to her, Charia will not enjoy the food as she should again.They both sat at the table and ate the delicacy made by Lila.“Oh, thank you so much for this sumptuous meal. Now, it is time to tell me how your day went.” Charia said.“Well, my day was not bad, since I didn't end up taking someone's life,” Lila answered."Like, what do you mean by taking someone's life? Did you have an accident on the road?”“Accidents would have been better. I'm talking about using my bare hands to kill someone.” Lila reiterated.“Please, maybe I'll understand you better if you stop talking in parables,” Charia said.“Okay, the simple explanation is that, finally, I was able to know the reason behind my marriage crash.” “Like seriously!

She must be stupid to think that I'll agree to all these conditions!” Grey yelled, throwing the paper on the bedside table and hitting the walls with his hands over and over again.The sound of his scream was so loud that it scared Cynthia who was in the kitchen with his mother. They ran upstairs to ask what was all the shouting for.“She is trying my patience and pushing me to the wall. Just take a look at what she's demanding before she'll sign the papers. Her plan is to render me bankrupt, but that will never happen.” He handed the pieces of papers to Cynthia which they both read with his mother.“Impossible! She wants to take over the company as well? I thought the company was in your name?” His mother asked.“That's why I said it must be unreasonable to think that I'll just give her what she demands on a platter of gold. The company is mine and will forever be mine” Grey added, hitting the table with his hands.Cynthia became

Don't tell me you're afraid of her already.” Grey questioned Cynthia as she came back, looking sorry.“Believe me, she's just an empty talking drum. She can do nothing.” He added. After a long gaze, Cynthia nodded her head in agreement with his statements.“I know, but you can never underestimate the words of an angry woman, especially when it has to do with her marriage.” Cynthia's mind was overpowered by fear.Grey drew her closer, placing one hand on her belly and the other around her waist. He gave her a passionate kiss on the forehead.“You're my world, honey, and I'll always be there for you and our children. Don't mind that ugly sister of yours; I know how to handle her.” He concluded, and Cynthia heaved a sigh of relief, but deep down in her mind, she's afraid for her unborn child.She went into the ward to meet her mother, who was seated beside her dying father.“I'm sorry, Daddy.

I'm sorry, my dear.” She heard the consoling voice of a man from behind, trying to lift her.“Thank you so much, sir. I'm fine. I'll just walk carefully down the street, Lila replied.“Com'on, I can walk you home if you want. Besides, I'm Grey Shun, also a newly admitted student.” He extended his hands for a handshake with Lila.Lila became nervous, feeling too shy to look at his face. How lucky was she to have attracted the compassion of such a handsome man? Yes, Grey is the pure definition of handsomeness. It is hard for a group of four girls to see him, and three will not have an instant desire for him.Since the death of her mother, a great gap has been created between Lila and love.

He locked his tongue into hers, giving her a passionate kiss.“Thank you for officially accepting the call into Shun's family. My love for you knows no bounds.” Grey confessed, and their tongues were locked into each other again. Gently landing her on the new sofa, specially bought and dressed with new bed sheets for their wedding night, he unhooked the wedding dress and all her inners, revealing the captivating figure eight that has been getting all men's attention in skirts. That was the sweetest and the only best day Lila could talk of when it came to her marriage with Grey.As the good wife that she is, Lila woke up as early as five o’clock and made her first breakfast for Shun's family b

    Chapter 42Lila's heart throbbed and swelled up as the question rang in her head. Finally, a day she had earnestly prayed for never to come is here.She feigned dumb to his question and sat without saying anything, until Damian got prompted to ask a second time, “Miss Lila, why is your look on the wall so intense? You love the wall paper designs, I guess?" He said softly with a smirk.Immediately, Lila trembled and nodded as if taken unawares, “Yeah, the design. It looks really amazing, you know,” she remarked.Not until he asked the question, Lila didn't even notice the wallpaper design. What was in her mind was a different thing altogether.He stood and slouched to the fridge, which was at the right corner of the dining room, and brought out a bottle of champagne.“Alright,” he said, dropping the two glass cups on the stool while he gradually poured out the drink into them.“From now henceforth, I'm not only your boss at the office, nor are you only my staff, but we're friends!

Thank you, Mr. Saviour!” She exclaimed in whispers.In great exhilaration, Lila left her seat, and with her arms widely opened like a bird flying in the air, she gummed her body on Damian's in tight clasps.“Thank God you're alive! I'm sorry, I couldn't wait to see you recover,” Mr. Damian whispered, with his hands wrapped around her back and her head on his shoulders.The dim and calm blue light makes the environment extremely cozy for lovers.Lila heaved a sigh of relief, his arms offering her a comfort she had never felt in her entire life.Even her wedding night with Grey was not as enticing as this.Her heart melted; a feeling of problem-less life dawned on her.“I'm also alive because of you! Who knows, I might have passed out completely if you were not with me in the office. Thanks to Joan, right? For splashing the coffee on you,” he admitted jokingly.“Com'on, so you're now mocking me, right?” Lila chuckled as she slowly began to lose grip

This place looks really amazing,” Lila commented as they got into the well-furnished living room.She expected to see a maid or a servant step out to welcome them, but she saw none.Isn't this house too big for one person to live in?Besides, who does the cleaning and cooking for him? She thought inwardly while her gaze shifted from one angle to the other in admiration for the features on the wall.“Feel free and have your seat, Lila. I'll be with you in a short while,” Mr. Damian goes on to say before he leaves for one of the rooms on the ground floor.“Oh my God!” Lila exclaimed when she saw Mr. Damian ambled with a tray to her front.The aura in the room changed immediately by the savory of the dishes.“I k

After all, my purpose of being in this town is to re-establish myself and my career, not to fall in love.” She consoled herself and distracted her thoughts with a different thing.“Daughter of the devil!” Joan glared and hissed at Lila the moment she stepped into the hospital ward.Lila feigned deafness to her statement and proceeded to stand beside Damian's bed.

    Chapter 38 Strong Attachment In a nick of time, Joan had taken a few steps and was standing before Lila already. “How dare you call me ugly?" Joan yelled with her hands raised to land a slap on Lila's face. “You dare not try that!” Lila said coldly as soon as she blocked the hands from reaching her face. “I was only advising you, and you can try that and thank me later, you ugly bitch!” Lila remarked and flung her hands down. The fluorescent lights buzzed as Lila settled into her cubicle. The office looked a bit strange to her. She can't believe that Mr. Anthonio had ordered for some items to be moved from her office to his already. So that's how desperate he wanted her out of the establishment? She glanced at the clock pinned on the wall; she's got a lot of work to do that day, and time was not by her side. She wanted to start immediately but feels uncomfortable in her splattered clothes. She needs to be in clean clothes so that the environment can also smell nice for her. Sh

Com'on, even divorce papers are no longer kept hidden nowadays,” Joan goaded with a wicked smile.She stood and watched Lila's hand tremble as they stretched to present the paper to Mr. Damian. Although the content is known to her already.“What the hell is this? Termination of appointment! Who gave you this?” Mr. Damian exclaimed. His neutral expression was gradually turning fierce as he sat with annoyance and the chair creaked in protest. “Mr. Anthonio gave it to me, sir,” Lila responded with a stammering voice.Mr. Damian scoffed and paused for a while. “You're barely a month into the job! What must you have done to attract a sack letter?” He demanded with his brows knitted and nostrils widened.“I came late to work, sir. He said I don't deserve the work if I should start coming late at this early stage,” Lila explained in soft sobs within her mind.“So was that why you were leavi

You can't let someone influence you to break it!” A voice in her whispered, and her strength and smiles were restored the moment she had a flashback of the promise.Lila had promised her unborn child since the day she learned of his conception that she would never allow him to see frustration no matter what.“Don't worry, baby, I'll shower you with all the love that you need to live and grow. I promise not to let anger and frustration near you,” were her words the first time she held the pregnancy test results in her hands. Never! She'll never allow her child to see her in an angry and depressed mood.She quietly moved to the restroom in the passage to wear her clothes in the proper way before she'd finally vacate the premises. “Here are your keys,” she said with a frown and flushed the keys on Mr. Anthonio's table before slamming the door behind her.Thinking of informing Mr. Damian, who ha

For this, I'll be forced to avenge even my mother's death!” Lila said to herself as she lay on the big sofa in her room, going through the soft copy of some company's documents that needed her attention.She tried to focus but she couldn't. Her mind was still reflecting on the fact that Ma'am Elena would despise her family so much that they would want she and her father's deaths at all costs.She's struggling as much to grab some sleep so that she won't be dozing off at work, but the sleep was not coming.And that has been one of her biggest fears. Anytime she's working, she always tries to get enough rest to avoid wearing a dull face at work the next day.“Jeez! It's 7:00am already!” Lila exclaimed and stumbled out of the bed the moment she heard the knock on her door and decided to check out for time on her phone, which was situated on the bedside table.“Gosh!
