UNBREAKABLE (walls and love)

Chapter 7

She walked into her room after exchanging pleasantries with her family but it seemed something was off today.Her married cousin who detests her and was always quick with sarcastic and witty comments was not herself today plus there was something in her expression, something sad and Emma being Emma had to notice.

“She's getting divorced " she shouted almost bulging her eyes out.She was surprised but her expression when she found out the reason was no longer surprise but disappointment and lot's of anger.

Apparently,the so called husband to her cousin whose name by the way was hope,was having an affair.He always called his mistress late at nights and when confronted by his wife,he would tell her off saying she wasn't valuable to him anymore and that it was just the tip of the iceberg.

That wasn't all.They had two children,non of which he bore responsibilities for rather it was his wife that took care of everything, feeding inclusive.He even had the audacity to tell her that her existence was totally useless using words that could demoralize her emotionally, drastically.

When Emma heard this,she almost couldn't believe her ears until she was given proof of both screenshots and recordings.She couldn't help sharing in her cousin's sorrow as as she knew what everyone knew.

It was her cousin that had taken care of this man from when he was nothing and now that he was just beginning to become something, he was throwing her away like some filthy rag.Every one knows it hurts a lot.

Even though she and hope never saw eye to eye on anything,this matter sure supercedes everything because this was a blow to her fellow lady.Again proving her point that men are scumbags, another wall rose up in her heart.

She went to her room as it was night already and thanked God she had taken her meds and sent the pics to Jay before hearing the news.If not,he would have surely sensed something was off and she just wasn't ready for that.She plugged in her ear pod, listening to her favorite song as she drifted to sleep.

The next morning, Hope's husband was to arrive at ten for the divorce talks and Emma made sure in her mind that she was not going to make it easy for him.

~Emma's POV ~

I woke up rather late today ,it's 9am which is odd because the normal me would have woken up around five or six am, seven at most.Oh well maybe it's my body preparing for the anger I'm about to unleash on a certain someone later today.I won't fail, certainly not with the kind of anger brewing in me.

My ringing tone woke me up from my subconscious and I already knew who it was, Jayson.Am not picking up the call because I know he will sense the change in my mood and I don't need that right now.I freshened up,took my meds,the stitch hasn't healed completely.

I took a pic,sent it to Jay, switched off my phone and went out.
