1454 Words
Andrew got home feeling so tired and annoyed with the hurtful events that occurred that day.
He yawned uncontrollably as he strode towards the hallway leading to his bedroom since rest was what he needed at the time, it was a good thing no one was home at the time, so he had so much time to rest.
Andrew heard strange sounds as soon as he approached his room, he wondered what was going on there since he knew he was the only one at home.
He stood at his door for a few seconds and furrowed his eyebrows inquisitively. The noise increased and this time it was husky and became louder.
Curiosity swelled in him as he kicked the door open with haste and saw the shock of his life. He was taken aback at what he had just seen.
His wife and her boss were on top of each other, having s*x and the most painful part was that they were so engrossed in what they were doing and didn't hear him when he opened the door.
"Diana!" Andrew Screamed in a fury. "What is going on here?" He shouted as her boss quickly came down from her.
Andrew's heart shredded in pain as he stared at his wife who had no atom of remorse on her face, she had just cheated on him and looked relaxed at it, she just batted her eyelashes continuously like nothing just happened
"Who is he?" Raymond her boss asked husky as he stared at Andrew with the expression that he had just interrupted him from what he was doing.
"He is my pauper of a husband", Diana said with a smirk as she gave Andrew a disgusting sneer. Andrew's heart broke at his wife's bitter statement.
"Oh, the useless husband of yours", Raymond said in a bit to Andrew who clenched his fist and gritted his teeth in annoyance.
“You had better shut up your mouth,” Andrew uttered with his eyes brimming in fury.
"The poverty-stricken man that can't take care of his wife?" Raymond said, accessing Andrew from head to toe.
"Yes! Just forget about him", Diana said and continued kissing Raymond who had a sly grin on his lips as he looked at Andrew with a smirk.
"Diana have you lost it? What is wrong with you". Andrew shouted In astonishment at the disgusting sight in front of him.
"Oh, shut it you penniless piece of trash, don't you know you are disturbing the moment" Raymond barked.
"How dare you speak to me when I am talking to my wife". Andrew yelled.
"Taa" The sound ran through the air as Andrew held his cheeks in shock. His face burned red hot with anger as he glared viciously at his wife who turned to massage Raymond's cheekbones after he had punched Raymond some minutes ago.
Diana raised her face and stared at Andrew with anger brimming in her eyes.
"How dare you! How dare you hit my guest" she barked at Andrew whose gaze was now laced with venom.
"What you…." Andrew was about to speak when she cut him.
"Oh shut it, shut it already, don't you ever try to disrespect my guests again, you son of a pig".
Andrew stared at Diana in awe as her eyes gleamed in malevolence. He wondered what had conspired at his back that made her behave that way towards him. The last time he checked they had no issues on board.
It was at that time that Anderson and Claudia came back from work, they heard the noise that was coming from the hallway and rushed to Diana’s room when the noise resurfaced.
They noticed what was going on and smiled to themselves, happy that Diana had realized that Andrew had no value and had agreed to date her rich boss, the same man they had been begging her to accept his offer for a while now.
"How can you do this Diana, I thought you loved me?" Andrew said, filled with surprise at his wife's action. He turned to Raymond who had a gleeful smile on his face.
Anderson and Claudia both snorted and snickered as they stared at Andrew in disgust.
"Loved you? How pathetic!. What have you done for me that I should love you? Huh? What exactly? You are supposed to be a man, but instead it's the other way round".
"What is going on here?" Anderson said after a whole while of standing at his door, Claudia gave way for him as he approached Andrew who turned, surprised to see them in their room
"I just caught Diana cheating on me Sir, and she is not even remorseful about it". Andrew said
“Oh. Is that why you want to bring down my roof, Andrew she chose a better option than you. Can you see for yourself, She chose someone who is wealthy and can take care of herself and her family. Not someone like you who depends on us to survive.” He said sardonically, hissing in irritation.
“What,” Andrew said in a low tone, he was disappointed by his statement.
“How would her father support her, even when she is wrong.” He thought to himself.
Diana knew her parents were proud of her and in support of what she did, she quickly wore her gown under the duvet.
"And what did you do about it? You went ahead to punch my guest". Diana spoke with deep contempt.
"You did what? How dare you". Claudia yelled angrily.
"How can you physically abuse someone who is man enough to take care of your wife? Aren't you ashamed that you couldn't take care of her all this while? you saw someone willing to help you and you are complaining? don't ever try that again", she warned sternly.
Andrew stared at them in shock, perplexed that they were supporting their cheating daughter.
"Well, there is no need for this?" Diana said.
"What is she trying to do?" Andrew muttered as she approached him with a brown envelope.
She walked towards the lower drawer close to the window, and she brought out a file, slamming it against Andrew's face.
"I have signed my part of the divorce. Sign yours immediately. I am tired of this marriage, I can't stay with you any longer.” She commanded without emotions.
"What?" Andrew asked, his eyes furrowed in astonishment.
Her parents were happy, they joined forces together. “Sign it, Andrew,” they said simultaneously.
He felt his heart-tugging in pain, he opened the divorce papers and skimmed through from one page to another, reaching the last page where he found her signature boldly written alongside her name.
He shook his head in disappointment and tutted his lips in displeasure. Without being told, he appended his signature on the file and he kept it on the table.
Andrew stared at Diana in anger, his gaze darted to Anderson and Claudia who had an urging expression on their faces.
He was about to leave, even if he had nowhere to go but Raymond's statement halted his step.
“Get out of here you penniless Son-in-law,” Raymond spoke out of nowhere as he glared hatefully at Andrew whose eyes were laced in anger.
"Don't you dare insult me". Andrew barked at Raymond.
"What will you do?" Raymond asked bitterly.
"I am asking you, what will you do, you breed of a failure". Raymond said in disgust, and before he could say another word, Andrew threw two hard punches at his face and began fighting.
Raymond fell to the floor sluggishly, and Andrew attacked him with anger, her parents tried helping Raymond but Andrew was too strong for the elderly man and woman.
Claudia saw the scene before, she took the glass vase from the table and struck it on Andrew's head. Andrew's body dropped to the ground with blood oozing out from his head.
All of them shrieked In fear as they saw his lifeless body. Without hesitation they all grabbed Andrew's body, it was late and the streets were quiet. Raymond was able to grab his car key, Andrew was dropped inside the car and he drove out of the mansion together with Diana and her Dad. stopping by a lonely track, where he dropped Andrew's body and drove back to the Gilbert mansion.
An elderly man who was driving alone after having a bad day, saw the man lying by the side of the road. He stopped his car, got down, and moved closer to the young man. He felt pity, he was about to call the police when the young man grabbed his leg.
“Please help me.”
