He wants a divorce
Thump!
Amelia felt her heart slammed against her ribcage when she heard his heartbreaking words.
"What? Surprised? Are you surprised that I know your carefully guided secrets? Huh" He said,
sarcastically.
She widened her eyes and gasped for breath. She felt her throat tightened. Hot tears streamed down
her eyes.
"Ethan you know............"
'Don't you dare call me that! The Only people who are permitted to call me that, are people who are
close to me. And are worthy."
She felt needles prick her heart, to an extent it began to bleed. Weren't they husband and wife? How
come they are no longer close to each? Unworthy? Is it what he has always felt about her? That she
was unworthy of him?
She swallowed and sniffed. " Ethan, i mean Ethan Dan Greg, you know the truth yourself. You know i
never did any of such things you are accusing me of"
"What truth are you talking about? What truth do i know Amelia, what truth you bloody liar" He said,
raising his more higher than ever.
She was startled into a daze. This was the first time he had raised his voice on her since they were
married. He has always spoke to her with a gentle voice. Though he has been acting strange lately, it
hasn't gotten to the point where he raises his voice when talking to her.
" Ethan, you know it yourself. I was a virgin" She still tried to retort.
" Virgin? That's a joke. What made you think you would be able to lie to me? You were no virgin. You
did surgery to deceive me, you liar"
"Enough !"
Both of them swiftly turned towards the person who shouted.
"Ethan Dan Greg, she is your wife. You shouldn't humiliate her like this. Is this what i have taught you"
" Father, you were one of the people who made me marry this sl*t. And right now i am tired of this
marriage"
" Watch your tongue, Ethan!" A voice thundered, causing everyone to keep quiet for a minute.
“Grandfather! Please calm down, it's not good for your health" A woman, rushed to his side when she
saw him breathing heavily after shouting.
She turned to him and said, " Ethan, you should be careful what you say"
" I don't care!"
This shocked everyone. What happened to their loving and fillial son, grandson, brother, cousin and
husband? He was now like a stranger to them.
" Amelia Pearls, i have had it up to my neck. I am tired of you and i can no longer continue with this
marriage" He declared with a cold tone, a bit more calmly.
"What do you mean, Ethan?"
" Ethan, i said watched your tongue!"
"Brother, you can't say that to sister-in-law"
" Don't take rash decisions"
Different voices were reprimanding him for his words.
"It is a decision I have thought through and made up my mind on"
"What do you mean, Ethan" Though, she knew what he meant but she could not bring herself to
believe it. She wanted him to say that wasn't what he meant.
But her hopes were shattered.
"I want a divorce" He declared, expressionlessly with a cold voice. It was as if they were talking about
what he wants to eat.
"No, you can't be serious, Ethan. Tell me you are joking" She said, anxiously. And then began to laugh
as if it was really a joke.
Everyone else was shocked when he said what they've been thinking he meant.
" You brat! No one divorces anyone in my family. This marriage is for better for worse" Mr. Robert Greg,
his Grandfather shouted at him.
" Ethan, he is right. You are not allowed to divorce her" His father supported.
" You both have been making decisions for me all my life. Now it's time to take my life decisions into my
own hands. I am divorcing her and that is final" He declared firmly, without giving any opportunities for
negotiation.
This was more shocking to everyone. Has he eaten something bad? Or was he under some kind of
spell?
"Ethan, please don't do this. I promise I'll give you a child. No please don't do this" she pleaded when
she saw his seriousness.
She moved close to him and wanted to touch him but he avoid her hand like she had some kind of
disease, he would contact if she touched him.
He looked at everyone present and turned to walk out. Seeing him walking away, she rushed to follow
him.
She abruptly knelt down on the floor in front of him with her two hands clasped in front of her. Her eyes
were red from crying. A mark was left by her tears which had dried up, yet fresh hot tears rolled down
her cheeks again.
"Please, don't take rash decisions. I'll get a child for you by any cost but please don't divorce me" She
pleaded.
He looked at her indifferently and shifted to the right to walk away. She quickly followed him, pleading
with him.
Everyone in the room was yet to recover from the shock. He seemed like they didn't know him
anymore. The grandfather and father were even more shocked. He has always been an obedient
grandson and son. The character he displayed was new to them.
Everyone felt sorry for her except for one person. The person squinted it eyes sinisterly and smirked
devilishly. This son was beginning to have some sense now.
"Good job, son"

Outside.
Amelia ran after him as he walked towards the parking lot in a fast pace. Like he was eager to get rid of
her.
"Please, Ethan you can't take such decisions. I will give you want ever you want"
He abruptly stopped when he heard the last part of her sentence. As if to give it a thought. She looked
at him hopefully.
After a while, he bent down to her ear to whisper something.
" I want a divorce"
She looked at him in disbelief. He was firm in his decisions. She wouldn't be able to change his mind.
" But i can't give you that, Ethan."
" But you just said you would do what ever i want and i want a divorce. So don't make things hard for
me. I'll get my lawyer to bring the papers any time soon and please don't cause trouble. Ensure you
sign them" He concluded, and walked towards his car. He opened the door and got in, then drove off
without sparing her another look.
She stood there with wide eyes, full of confusion, frustration, and other kinds of emotions.
He was adamant. He would really divorce her.

The black Maybach stopped in front of a building and Ethan Dan stepped out of it.
He locked the car door and walked into the building. Inside the building, he directly took an elevator up
to the 7th floor of the building.
When the elevator came to a halt, he walked out of it, towards a door.
He knocked on the door and waited for a while.
Not quite long, a coquettish woman opened the door and instantly have him a hug when she saw him.
"Hi, baby. I really missed you so much" she said with a pout.
He chuckled in his throat and pinched her nose. " I miss you too, darling?"
She dragged him in and locked the door. She then wrapped her hands around his neck.
" So how did it go?" She asked, bringing her hand to touch him chin.
" It went according to plan. That woman wouldn't signed those papers easily if we don't force her"
"I know. She is too stubborn but we would put her in her place. What about your family? Would they
agree?"
" I don't care if they don't. I have my life to live and they can't make decisions for me" he declared.
" It sounds better coming from you" she said, in a seductive tone as she licked her red lips.
His eyes darkened and he quickly leaned forward to kiss her but she dodged.
He grunted unhappily and feeling the sudden heat which emitted from his body. He leaned forward to
kiss her again and she dodged.
She looked at him and unknot her robe and moved closer to him.
" You did a good job today. Now it's my turn to reward you,................"

A woman lay comfortably in a relaxing chair. About four to five girls were around her. One was giving Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
her a shoulder massage, Another was giving her a feet massage, while Another was helping her peel
fruits and the last one was cleaning her finger nails.
The phone on the table beside her suddenly rang and the girl massaging her feet, brought the phone to
her.
" Hello mom, where are you?" A feminine voice asked from the other end of the phone.
" I am at home. Are you coming home?"
"Yes, we have something to celebrate"
" What is that?"
" He has finally did it"
" What! You can be serious" she said with a high pitched voice, startling the girls.
"Of course i am Mom"
"This really calls for celebration then. Come home we should celebrate"
" Ok Mom" the call ended.
My daughter is now becoming more useful and wiser now. Ah, that is good. So sorry Lily. She muttered
as an evil glint flashed passed her eyes.
