Discarded.

Mr and Mrs Roger, sat bewildered as North narrated her ordeal to them.

"You'll do no such thing!" Selina Roger rebuked. She clasped her hands together, as she shook her head.

Eli Roger sat quietly without uttering a word. He allowed his wife react in a way that she wanted. He had long washed his hands off anything concerning North's and Donald's marriage.

After Donald had announced that Brittany was with his child, Eli was of the notion that Donald had zero regards for neither North nor him.

He had offered to relocate with North to another city, where she would start her life afresh. But North was adamant, and insisted on staying to fight for marriage.

Eli saw her actions as futile. And advised her to channel the energy she used in fighting Brittany, to invest in herself.

Being strong-willed, Brittany had threatened to cut him off, If he didn't hop off her back.

As a man of dignity, Eli had vowed never to get involved. As he watched the dramas with folded arms.

Selina on the other hand was North's biggest supporter. She encouraged her not to relent in fighting for what was truly hers, (Donald).

As the years elapsed, and it became obvious that Donald wasn't North's to keep. The fight diverted from owning Donald, to acquiring as much wealth as they could for Mike.

It was a more tougher fight than the previous. Especially since their competitors were mostly prioritized.

North kept tab on Brittany and Derrick. She was aware of the brands of gadgets, clothings, and vehicles that Derrick had. She made sure to purchase things from more expensive brands for her son.

With Derrick now out of the way. North was all out to maximize the opportunity she had gotten to accumulate more wealth for the one person she lived for, Mike.

"Ma, you should be cognisant of what your daughter is capable of. I can't condone such. Not while I am still breathing." North added affirmatively.

"I suggest you use this medium to blackmailing Donald into doing your wish. He's eagered for that marriage to hold. Infact, I'm sure he's desperate for it. Seize the opportunity. Request whatsoever you wish. Now my child is the time. Recover all that you've lost!" Selina tapped on table as she spoke. Her tone vigorous and beckoning, Like a mother giving her last advice to her child who was moving to another city.

Selina was a retired cashier. Who worked in a one of the city's biggest mall. She had gotten the job right after giving birth to North. She worked the longest in the mall, and was also the oldest staff.

Even after North had gotten married to Donald, she decided not to quit her job. As she didn't want to be seen as though she lived off her daughter. Even though she was the first on North's pay list.

She was the typical mother who was supportive as long as her account buzzed. Hence the reason she vehemently rejected when Eli suggested that North should divorce Donald.

"True mum. I didn't even think of such." North responded as she nodded affirmatively.

"It's my time to shine." She added as a smile appeared on her oblong, beautiful face. She had the looks of a fashion model. She wasn't just slender. But also had curves in the right places. What Donald saw in her, was undeniably noticed by all.

Right from childhood, North was always declaring that she would be a bride to a billionaire. And when she got into high school, she took a step to achieving her dream by contesting in all pageantries. With her evident beauty and charisma, she won most of the pageantry, crowning her a national treasure.

It was during one of such events, that Donald beheld her elegance. And her long-term dream, became fulfilled.

The door of the room cracked opened. Mike walked in gorgeously with a brown sealed envelope in his right hand. Donald's semen was unarguably potent to producing fine breeds.

Although Mike took his mother's physique. His face was very much Donald's. All the features on his face were perfectly crafted. And his tall and slender body, didn't just make him look breathtaking, it also made him alluring.

"Mike, child." North called out the moment she sighted him. She stood and embraced him soothingly. She let out a sigh of relief, which was accompanied by a smile.

"My love." Mike responded and kissed her on her forehead. His red glowing lips arched in a smile. He took her right hand, placing soft kisses on it.

"Oh, my dear. How I have missed you." North added holding his face with her palm.

"I missed you most my lady. Good day Pa, Good day Ma." He greeted Eli, and Selina.

"You're welcome Mike. Hope your trip went smoothly?" Eli spoke for the first time, with a grin on his face.

"More than smooth, Pa. With the news I heard, even the bereaved would be glad." He spoke confidently, with his face beaming with joy.

" Come give grandma some sugar." Selina said to him as she threw her arms wide.

" Sorry Ma. I got carried away." He moved to her, and embraced her, placing kisses on her cheeks.

" Come sit my child."North held his hands and made him sit besides her. "I arrived home a while ago, but was informed by the servants that you were here." He narrated, emphasizing on each word.

"Yes, my child. I came to inform your grandparents about the joke your father cracked a day ago." She responded while caressing his hands.

" Dad has never for once been a comedian. But I'm glad he's finally considering that career, because I'll be more than elighted to be entertained." He muttered with a smirk.

" I found this on the table. It has your name on it." Mike said and handed over the envelope to North. North stared at the envelope questionably. And muttered,

"Who could it be from?"

She unsealed the envelope slowly, with Selina, Eli and Mike's eyes trailing her every move.

"From the state magistrate to Mrs North Wright." She read out the headings with furrowed brows, she went on to read the content inwardly.

"Damn!" She yelled throwing the letter on the table. As she tapped angrily on the table.

"What's wrong?" Selina, Eli and Mike had asked in unison. Selina grabbed the letter from the table and read through it.

"Donald's divorcing you?" Selina asked appallingly. As they all stared at North with their lips asunder.
