Chapter 2: Divorced and stranded.

Rachel's point of view:

I was dusting the living room of the mansion when the phone in my trouser pocket began to ring and I paused and took out the phone and my face lit up with a smile when I saw it was my husband Simon, so I quickly swapped the answer button and placed the phone on my ear.

"Good afternoon my love..."

“Cut that bullshit!" Simon snapped at me, cutting off my words and I frowned as I heard the laughter of a woman.

I was offended by how my husband spoke to me, but I decided to shrug it off.

"What can I do for you?" I inquired from my husband.

"Come to the company,I have something important to tell you and start coming now." Simon ordered me and i being a housewife left everything i was doing and rushed to take my purse and head out to get a cab.

I couldn't use my husband's car because he asked me not to , even though he had five of them just sitting in the garage at home collecting dust.

I took a cab and it stopped her at Simon corporation. Upon getting into the company building I got into the elevator up to the floor to my husband's office.

Simon's secretary told me to wait.

“Let me call him and inform him that you are here, he has a guest." The secretary told me and I furrowed my brows in confusion.

Who could come to his office this early in the morning?

I wondered who it was and ignored the secretary's words,because this was my husband and pushed open the office door and from the small cracks of the door that was opened, I saw and heard something that shattered my heart.

“Mom , so this is my fiancee Ivy, she is a successful model." Simon , my husband, introduced a woman sitting next to him to his mother who was with them in the office and I gasped , drawing their attention as I took steps into the office.

“Ma'am, I told you that Mr Simon is busy and I need to call him for confirmation before you enter, you should come back later." The secretary tried to save her job as she grabbed onto my hand and I forcefully drew my hands from the secretary's hold and faced Simon with tears forming in my eyes.

“Who did you just say she is?" I asked in a shaky voice as I looked at Simon , with hopeful eyes hoping he would correct his words but he just glared at me.

Simon looked at his secretary,"Get out!" He ordered and she scurried out of the office slamming the door shut behind her.

“Simon, who is this woman?" Ivy asked as she looked at me with disgust as if I was beneath her status.

“No one?” Simon asked and the words echoed in my ears as I felt a lump form in my throat and it was hard to swallow.

No one, his wife was called no one.

“Yes, no one, she is just an ex wife who can't stay still." I gasped in shock and disbelief.

“Simon, how could you call me no one. I am your wife , how can you just say that I am no one when did I become your ex and when did you propose to this girl beside you?" I asked as tears flowed freely down my cheeks.

“Simon, are you hearing accusations ,what are you going to say to this, I thought you said you got divorced?” Ivy asked him.

“This lady is my crazy ass ex wife who can't accept the divorce, I have told my secretary not to let her in here and still she will not listen." Simon said and I gasped in shock, I turned to Simon mom.

“Mom, why haven't you seen anything? You have known me as his wife for years and I have helped your family so much so how is he doing this to me and you're saying nothing?” I asked my mother in law who cleared her throat.

“What do you expect me to say? He has already divorced and he has another woman,who is now his fiance. You should let him go because what you're doing is making a fool out of yourself in the company." Simon's mother said and I gasped in shock.

This is the same woman who was sick five years ago ,when Simon was still broke and I used all my savings to assist in her hospital bills and I was never paid back till now.

“How can you say something like this to me ,when I assisted with your hospital bills and even nursed you back to health when you were sick ,do you even have no shame or do you even have no fear that what you're saying will come back to haunt you?" I asked her in anger and pain that she would easily forget all I did for her, this is just wickedness at its peak.

When she was sick her daughter refused to take care of her and was leaving her best life and because of my love for Simon and how I was going to marry into their family, I took care of her for more than a month even while going to college and this is what I get as a reward?

“Rachel, stop insulting my mother and saying bad words , I am telling you to get out of this office if you don't want me to drag you out of here myself!" Simon yelled at me as his fiancee folded her hands with her head held up high watching us.

“Baby, please just tell me this is a lie?" I asked.

“Don't call me that name again, this woman here is going to be my wife,"Simon replied.

“Simon how can you be this cruel, were you just using me to do your work and as a personal bank when you had no money, how could you?" I asked as I was full blown crying and my mascara was running down my face.

“I wonder how I even stayed married to you with that disgusting face you have and that nasty scar on your lap, so disgusting." He shuddered in disgust and I just stared at him in disbelief that he would use my scars to insult me.

Scars that I got in an accident that made me afraid to get into cars for a year and left me without a mother, how could he use my weakness to insult me.

“How could you?" I asked him and he got tired of this and walked closer to me and grabbed my hand and I winced in pain.

“Let go of me, I will report this!" I yelled as he was trying to drag me out of his office and I was resisting.

Slap!

A resounding slap made my head turn dangerously to the left and I turned to see that Simon's fiance had slapped me and she was now looking at her hand as if she touched dirt.

“So ugly and dirty, don't you dare talk to my man and in such a disrespectful manner ,he told you to leave so get out of this office , Simon call someone to drag out her presence is annoying me!" Ivy half yelled as a frown marred her

Simon did as Ivy instructed and dragged me who was crying out of his office ,slammed the door shut and locked it.

I stood there as I had a hard time holding back the tears that fell freely from my eyes down to my checks.

“What exactly haven't I done for him?" I asked as I was broken in pieces.

Where was I going to go from here after a seven year relationship and I invested more in his success in this company than my own and he succeeded while I was doing house chores.

I crouched down in front of his office crying and I heard a voice.

“Hello security please come to Mr Simon office, there is someone causing a nuisance here." The secretary made a call to get me removed and sat back on her chair.

This is the worst day ever.

I scoffed at my pathetic state.

I hastily left his office to avoid further humiliation.

Simon did not return home that night but the next day he did and called me out to the living room where his mother, sister and Ivy were sitting waiting for me.

“We will get divorced.” Simon announced to me while I was still standing.

"I didn't know you were a disgusting pig, who only knew how to cheat." I said firmly and pushed the guards hands away from me.

“What did you call my son you lowlife!" Rachel's mother in law asked as she charged at her slapping her hard across the face and Ivy and Simon's sister laughed.

"Since you have decided to be stubborn then don't blame me for being too cruel, call the lawyer I want a divorce. "Simon ordered his bodyguard and the lawyer was called.

“What did you just say?" Rachel asked in disbelief.

The man I had loved for all those years and did everything to make him happy was abandoning me.

The lawyer arrived shortly after with the drafted divorce papers.

"Since you can't give me an heir , sign the divorce papers and leave and from now on ,don't expect to get anything from me or my family because you are dead to us." Simon announced proudly.

I picked up the paper and read it.

It stated that I would get nothing and that was all since there was a prenup.

I packed up my luggage and took it into a cab and left from his home after signing the divorce papers.

***

I returned back home, my father locked the gate and refused to let me in.

My father and stepmother were inside the mansion behind the gate talking to me.

“Rachel, i don't know why you came back here but this is not your home anymore, so leave and go back to your husband even if he cheats on you or beats you it is not my concern go back to him.” My Father told me and I was in utter disbelief.
