Desperate for you

I will divorce you!

Chapter 3:

John abuses and yells at me ignoring others. People around start to point fingers at me and make judgement. I have never been so ashamed in my whole life.

I see Amy standing there trying to help me, but she is afraid of John Alvares and Kamilla and doesn't dare to come up.

I really get fed up with this kind of life!

I push them away with all my forces and yell, “ John Alvares! I will divorce you!”

“What? Divorce? Let me tell you, no way!” John pulls my hair and bumps against the table over and over again.

“Divorce huh? You want to divorce?”

It hurts at first. Then I went numb along with my heart.

“What are you doing?! Who are you! Why come here and make trouble!”

The policeman comes. John finally loosens his grip and throws me on the ground. My body and face are all covered with blood. I look terrible.

I look at Amy and she winks at me. It is she who calls the police. I nod to her gratefully for not letting me be beaten to death.

“Sir, we are a couple and just had a disagreement, not a big deal.” John smiles rascally and changes to his hypocritical face.

Screw you couple disagreements!

I glance at John and all grievances flood over me.

I sit on the floor and cry out loud. I touch my wounds and scream for pain. Things have come to this situation and I won't go easy on him.

The policeman couldn't watch and helped me to stand up. He asks me whether I need to go to the hospital.

“Just slightly injured, what could happen to her?” Kamilla gives me a mean look disdainfully.

As expected, my words make the faces of John and Kamilla clouded. John Alvares sputters, "Who the hell beats you every day, you better make it clear."

I roll up my sleeves and expose my arms to the public.

As a matter of fact, most scares were made by the man last night, but John does pull my hair and slap me in the face. Now who would believe that they had nothing to do with these bruises?

"Domestic violence? You have to come with us."

John is taken away by the police and Kamilla follows anxiously.

Finally, I am relieved and going to wash the wound.

" Nicole Thomas, come to my office."

The manager says with a face of gloomy thunder which gives me a bad feeling.

“Nicole Thomas, you have always performed well in the company. But you have seen what happened today. If your family came here and made trouble again, it would not only have this bad influence on the company but also disturb the mood of the employee. So do you think it is better that you..."

The manager doesn't finish the whole sentence, but I understand what he means. After what happened today, I can't stay in the company any longer. "I see, I will submit my resignation in a moment."

I write the resignation letter and pack my things. I walk out of the company but suddenly I don't know where to go.

The phone in my pocket has been vibrating for a while. I know who it is, and if I don't answer it, it will keep ringing.

I sigh and pick up.

" Nicole Thomas, have you lost your mind? Let's not talk about your cheating. How dare you sue John for domestic violence and send him to jail!" A rage of curses come from the other side of the phone.

I smile bitterly and sit down at the gate of the company.

“Mom, did Kamilla tell you this?”

“You can't blame others judging you because of what you did! How could I have a daughter like you? What a shame! You go to the police station and explain right now. Then I will take you to John's house begging for his forgiveness. Anyway, what would you do if you lost John , such a good man!”

I don't want to explain to my mom how disgusting this good man in her eyes is. It is useless to explain this to a woman who has devoted her whole life to men.

“I have already said that I want to divorce. No matter what you say, I will divorce anyway.”

I hung up the phone and took a taxi to my best friend Sophie D’Cruz's house. She is my best friend in college.

I knocked at the door for a while. Sophie D’Cruz comes out wearing a silky slip dress with blurred eyes and flushed face. Has her boyfriend Asher Campos come back from the business trip?

“Nicole, you don't look well. Who makes trouble for you?”

I go into the house. Asher is sitting on the couch with an unsatisfied look on his face. I definitely disturbed their love making.

“Let's go inside and talk.”

Sophie and I go into the room. I told her everything from last night to today.

After listening, she asks me curiously, “How does he look? The man you spent the night with. How is he?”

“Is your brain circuit different from the normal? Shouldn't you give me some advice now?”

“What other advice can there be? Of course, you should divorce that scum! Then you can find that handsome man driving a Maybach. Men are clothes.

With so many men in this world, I can change clothes every day as long as I am happy.” Sophie says indignantly.

"Nicole, you can stay with me as long as you want."

I close my eyes and lie on the bed. My heart is so exhausted, and I just leave the phone ring over and over again.

Sophie's seductive moaning comes from the next room. It makes me feel horny.

The sound quiets down after over an hour. Sophie comes in with a flushed face. "Nicole, Asher and I are going out to buy some vegetables. We will come back soon."

I nod and check lots of missed calls on my phone.

Shortly afterwards, someone is knocking at the door. I think that would be Sophie forgetting the key.

I open the door and run into my parents' sullen faces.

"Dad, mom, why do you come here?"

I am going to close the door subconsciously, but my dad blocks the door quickly.

"You think you can hide here and we can't find it? Now! Go to the police station with us!"

"Do what I say. When John comes out, you come back with him and live obediently." I am dragged into the car by my parents.

She doesn't speak and grinds her teeth in anger, "If you don't listen to me. I will just kill myself!" She leaves these words and runs into the middle of the road.

There is a car speeding fast toward us. I scream, run to my mum and hold her.

No pain as I expected there would be. The car stops about one metre away from us. My mother is scared and collapses on the ground.

Aman gets off of the car. I couldn't see his face because of the backlight.

"Do you need to go to the hospital?" The man comes up and says in a deep voice. It's so familiar.

I look up and try to look at his face. I am stunned.
