I voiced bitterly, no matter when he gets here, I am going to wait for him and if he doesn’t come home tonight then I am going to leave the house by morning and I am never going to set my foot here again.

I had his car coming at ten minutes past ten, I heard when he greeted the security man who told him I was in the garden, I had seen him when I came to the garden. A few moments later, I looked up to see him walking into the garden, usually, when I see him, I would run to him and give him a hug, at least that’s what I have been doing for the past two weeks, but right now, I just sat down watching him walk up to me.

“Kathy, what are you doing out here? It’s late,”

“Thank God you know it late, why are you just coming back?”

“I am sorry, I had an emergency meeting and I couldn’t get off on time like I wanted, let’s go inside,”

Liar, I wanted to scream, but I stopped myself, the staff quarters were close to the garden so if I confront him here they will all hear us, so I got up and walked back inside, not bothering to wait for him.

“Kathy? Are you okay? What’s going on?”

He asked when he walked into the room, he had the audacity to ask me what’s going on, the man was unbelievable.

“I want a divorce,”

I said calmly, I wasn’t ready to shout or create a scene, no.

“What? What did you say?”

He asked and I took a deep breath, reminding myself that I promise not to scream or make a scene, taking another deep breath, I looked up at him and said each word at a time and loud enough for him to hear me.

“I Said I Want A Divorce.”

“What? Kathy, no…, why…? Why…? So suddenly…? Kathy come on don’t do this,”

“I don’t want to shout Cross, I am giving you a way out here, I am tired of this so I want out,”

I said, looking away from him.

“Way out? I don’t want out,”

“But I do, I want out, I don’t want this marriage anymore,”

“Katherine, don’t do this, please tell me what I did wrong and I promise I will fix it, please don’t leave,”

He said and I felt myself growing hot with pent-up anger.

“I want a divorce Cross, I want my life back, I don’t want to keep living a lie, I am done, I am going to leave this house tomorrow and I will be sending the divorce papers across to you, I have made up my mind,”

I said, walking over to sit down.

“Are you going to at least tell me what I did wrong? We were cool this morning and suddenly you are talking about a divorce, Is it because I didn’t come home on time? I already told you I am sorry, something came up that needed urgent attention, ”

He said, and I let out a burst of sad laughter, he expects me to believe his shit? Expect me to believe he was at the office, I bet if I had gone to his office he won’t have been there., I was hundred percent sure he was coming from her house, I didn’t need any prophet to tell me that and it made me so mad that he could look and me and just lie in my face, I wondered just how much he has been lying to me all these weeks.

“Kathy, talk to me.”

He said, softly moving closer to me, I got off the bed and stepped away from him.

“Are you fucking kidding me right now?”

I shouted, all my resolve to not shout flying out of the window.

“Then tell me what I did, why do you suddenly want to walk out of our marriage, we were doing so well, I thought we were,”

“I thought so too until I find out you have been deceiving me and doing shits behind my back, God, I am such a fool,”

“What’s this about Kathy?”

“It’s about you Cross, it’s about you and your mistress,”

“Kathy, please, not that again, I told you before, and I thought we have passed this, Ginna is not my mistress, in fact, she is nothing to me,”

He replied and I couldn’t believe him, I held my head trying to calm myself, he was such a liar, he was such a devil, he was good at this.

“God… You are such a liar Cross, how can you look me in the face and lie? Why? Just why do you lie so much with such a straight face?”

“Kathy? What is this about? Please tell me,”

He asked and I realized he was going to pretend till the end, I wanted this to end so I picked up my phone clicked on the photos, and gave them to him.

“There you have it, are you going to deny this? Can you explain this too? How does this happen and she is not your mistress? I must be dumb then, oh, just so you know there is a video too, whoever did it make sure he left no doubt in my mind, so you were saying again?”

I asked, looking at him, he looked shocked and out of words, like he hadn’t been expecting it, he didn’t know he was being taped and all his shady deeds were being recorded.

“Kathy I can explain,”

He said and I burst out laughing, the laughter filled with sadness.

“Explain? Explain what you say? Cross? How do you explain this? How do you want to explain what’s going on right now? It’s you, you are making out with another woman, whom you claim is not your mistress, okay, I am listening, explain,”

I said, sitting back down and folding my hands I wanted to hear what he had to say and hear how he was going to deny this, I wanted to see him make stupid excuses for himself and after that, I am going to shove it in his face and walk out of here, I don’t mind going to a hotel to spend the night, there were loads of them in the city…
