After he put me in jail, he came begging in tears

“I hate her so much more than you can understand, Kate.” I froze immediately, my hand hanging in the air as I was just about to open the door. That is Damien’s baritone voice. “You didn’t have to injure yourself at the risk of that lowlife,” he continued. “I will always choose you over her. Besides, I can’t Afford to lose the contract your father promised me. It’s million dollar fortune. I’ll get rid of her ten times if I have to. I’m Divorcing her today, trust me.” I needed no one to tell me they were discussing me. “But, baby,” A feminine voice was saying, Kate of course. His ex-girlfriend. Or should I say mistress. “Why did you have to take her to our lodge?” “I had a plan...” “But still!!!! That lodge has been infected with lowlife filth now.” “You’re right. I’ll call for a fumigation. By the time you’re ready to be discharged, every single inch of our exclusive lodge will be clear of Carolina’s filth.” That does it! They are talking about me! My own husband just called me a filth! And Kate, that devil incarnate, Giggled My blood suddenly ran cold as I felt my stomach twitch. I clenched my fists as hard as I could, ready to storm in and make hell. How dare they? Every single time I had expressed my fear of losing my husband, Damien, to Kate, he had repeatedly insisted there was nothing between them. And here he was! He hadn’t even been home in a couple of days because he had been sleeping in the hospital with her. “Anyways What was your plan then?” Kate's voice made me halt. “To frame her. I want to get the perfect setup to officially divorce her and marry you. I was going to make her drunk, then bring in another man. I wanted pictures of them both in the bed. But then you came.” What?!!! “But did you really have to go through all that to Divorce her? Don’t tell me you are scared to ask her for Divorce.” “No. Of course not. It’s just... the kids. They wouldn’t want me to send their mother away. So I needed to make them hate her.” By now, I was boiling so hard. So, The perfect dinner had been nothing but a charade? To divorce me? Questions after questions were flying into my head, creating chaos up there. I could clearly remember how Damien had woken me up with a kiss that fateful morning. He presented me with a dress and matching heels before apologizing for not having time for me in the last few months. “Let’s spend the weekend at a fancy lodge and fix our marriage,” He said as he placed a tender kiss on my forehead. And stupid me, agreed excitedly. Well, how could I have known? We went to a very fancy exclusive lodge which he decorated to perfection and we were having a nice time until Kate barged in on us to create a scene. She quarreled with Damien for bringing his cheap wife to their personal lodge where they discussed business. She picked a fight with me and to my surprise Damien got angry at me when I attacked her back. So much for fixing our relationship! Kate tried stabbing me for fighting her back but I dodge it at the last minute and she ended up stabbing herself by mistake. Which is the reason she had been hospitalized for days. “Mum! We found Jolio!” Tiny voices screamed, startling me back to reality. And I realized I had come here together with my twins, Christopher and Christiana. But they weren’t at their supposed places where I left them. They were running down from the lobby cuddling their puppy, Jolie. Their gray eyes twinkled with excitement. . They must have left without my knowledge. “Hey, sweethearts, where did you go?” I ask squatting to their level. I suddenly began wondering if they heard all their father had said and prayed they didn’t. Having them realize how Conniving their father could be wouldn’t do any good to our family. “When we came, Jolie jumped off and ran away so We have to chase after her.” Christiana’s full pink lips pouted as she spoke. “Oh?” I frown, a bit out of place. When was that? “We are sorry Mum. Let’s go see dad and Aunt Kate now!” Christopher screams cheerily with his girlish voice. And somehow I felt relieved. With their excited faces they couldn’t have heard what their father had said, right? I was standing up to my feet when the door suddenly flew open and Damien’s muscular frame appeared at the door v “Carolina…” His deep-seated gray eyes widened with shock that he tried to mask with excitement when his kids jumped on him. Screaming, “Daddy!!!” As the kids hugged his legs, We locked gazes. “What are you doing here?” He spat through gritted teeth. What am I doing here? I clenched my fists, becoming even more enraged with the dumb question he chose to ask me. I began regretting my every reason for being here in the first place. Well if not for my kids. They are the ones who begged me to bring them to the hospital where Kate was receiving treatment. They wanted to come visit their God-mother. Well, leave it to Damien to make his devilish Ex girlfriend a godmother to my kids and even make them love her. Without bothering to reply to him, I turned away and began walking off in a hurry. And I least expect he would follow me. I had only gone down a flight of stairs before I felt a hand grab me from behind. “Carolina!” I turned around to see Damien. He immediately released my hand. “Why the hell did you come here?” he groveled. I stare dead at him. Not saying a word. “Answer me!” he bellowed. “Why the hell did you come here with the kids?” “Why? Oh… You’re worried they might have overheard the cruel things you said about their mother.” I scoffed. “Well, did they?” His bushy lids arched, As he stared at me with a look I was all so familiar with. Hatred. Disgust. The man I love so much was staring at me with hatred. But there was an air of panic around him even though he’s trying to conceal it with his egoistic Demeanor. “Well, Lucky you, they didn’t.Seems Jolio ran off when we came and they ran after her.” I scoffed bitterly. His shoulders slumped down in relief as a heavy sigh escapes him and I almost scoff again. “So…” “Well,...” We spoke at same time but I pause for him to go on. “Well, Since you heard everything, I guess we have nothing to talk about. Just sign this and let’s get this over with.” It was then that I noticed the file in his hand which he handed over to me. At a glance, it’s a Divorce agreement document. So he even has everything planned out. My heart almost cut when my eyes landed on it. I felt a painful c***k in my chest and my voice seized for a bit.“So this is it? After everything, this is how it’s gonna end?” All our years of marriage, I have never for once felt welcomed by my husband's family. They never accepted me. Still I kept doing what I could to please them because of how much I love this man. I even quit my job to cater for the kids yet this is what I get? I was wobbling in pain inside of me but keeping a calm disposer. I love Damien. I love him So f*****g much. “Well, how should it have ended? In case you are forgetting…” Damien said took a step forward. He lifted my chin up with a finger. “You are nothing but a poor orphan who was just lucky enough to have a wealthy man come around you. Besides, we both know I married you to get grandmother kids. I never for once loved you, not even for a second.” “And who is it that you love? Kate? When she left you like a piece of trash for some richer man who was it that was there to fix your s**t?!! Huh? It’s me. I was there for you Damien when you...” A heavy slap landed on my face which came from Damien. “Don’t you dare speak to me in that manner!” Damien yelled like a deranged dog, glaring at me as I rubbed my swollen cheeks. “And don’t even compare yourself to Kate because You are nothing like her, and you could never be. You’ve always just been a substitute!!!” A teardrop from my eyes as I felt my heart c***k painfully. He stepped back and his eyes dropped on the paper, “Just sign the papers and let’s go our separate ways. I don’t want you anymore. You’ve given me kids, that’s enough. Our deal is done.” “Why? because she came back? Or because of the Oliverez project her father promised to give you?” I growled through gritted teeth and his face contorted in shock. Of course he’s surprised how I got to find out. The Oliverez Bridge construction is a project he had always wanted, to boost his company. He reached out to them once but they declined his offer. However, days before he took me out, I overheard Kate’s father promising to help him get the construction project with his influence if he agrees to marry his daughter. At least if not for me, I thought he declined the offer for the kids sake. For the kids to have a complete family but guess I was wrong. “Sign the damn thing and stop wasting my time, Carolina!!!” I swallowed hard. Tears cloud my throat and escape my eyes but I quickly pull myself together. It was a struggle but I managed to remain calm. I would not cry for a man who doesn’t know my worth. I have had enough. “Fine! I will sign the Divorce” I began and stared dead into his eyes. “ but on one condition...”
