RUTHERFORD’S REVENGE.

TIP OF THE ICEBERG 5

Jason’s heart raced as his cab drove near to his wife’s parents house, he didn’t know why, but he had a terrible feeling in his gut like something was terribly wrong.

As the cab drove near, lights on the front yard were turned on, there was a “FOR SALE” sign right at the front yard f the house . It seemed that there was some kind of celebration going on inside the house as he stood at the entrance, he could hear laughter and music.

What were they celebrating, it was no one birthday today, anyway what ever it was, Marylin would not be celebrating, not with all her heart atleast, not while he was supposed to be in the hospital.

He turned the lock and helped himself inside the house . The whole house seemed different, kind of vacant , pictures and decorative objects that were hung on the wall leading to the living room was no where in site..

Jason hastened his footsteps and when he got to the living room where all the noise was coming from, he was surprised to find it half empty with cartons of items laying around everywhere.

Were they moving? He thought.

“Oh Lordy, am I seeing a ghost?”Mrs stone asked, pointing in Jason’s direction.

“The joy killer is back,”Mr stone said falling into a sitting position on a sofa while reducing the volume of the music.

Marylin was standing there with her younger adoptive brother Luke who had somehow been able to marry a total mean b***h like him.

He was married to Stella whose parents where very rich and owned lots of landed properties, Luke had some how managed to get her to say yes to his proposal even though they were both toxic to each other and took out their steam at everyone they could, especially Jason.

Marylin had been dancing with him, the smile and joy she showed while she swayed with him was one Jason had never seen before. What was there to dance about when her husband was sick?

“Marylin,” Jason whispered out loud.

He called her, coming closer as he expected her to run toward him and hug him, he stoped when he noticed the expression on her face change from surprise to anger and then somehow hate.

“I thought you died,” Were the words that came out of his precious wife’s mouth, words sharper than two edged swords piercing mercilessly into Jason’s core.

“You are supposed to be dead,” She continued,spiting venom. How are you here?”

“I wonder too, back to finish where you started?Stella, Luke’s wife began, you have always been a dirt bag Jason, good for absolutely nothing. And for once in your absence my husband’s family are happy, the possibility that you may be dead comes to light and boom , life turns around for them, imagine what could be if you actually do die? Why don’t you do us all including yourself the favor?”

“What’s happening Mar?” Jason asked his wife who gave him nothing in return but contempt.

“I thought we wouldn’t have to worry about getting a divorce document, thinking you were dead and all, but it seems that we must”, mrs stone said, sipping the glass of wine in her hands.

“You better take the divorce in good composure, who knows, we might take pity and have you be a paid errand boy for the maids, you aren’t even fit to run errands for us anymore,” Mr Stone retorted.

“Mar? Baby, what is all this about? “Jason’s bewilderment knew no bounds.

Luke raised his sisters left hand into the air to showcase the large diamond ring that was on her ring finger.

“That’s not the ring I gave to you Mar, where did you get that?”Jason asked in the midst of his confusion, not wanting to believe what was happening before his eyes.

“What, did you get so hit in the head that your brain cells are dead? She’s getting married and will now have to divorce you since you are alive”, Stella barked and threw the cake in her hand at him, smearing the icing all over his shirt.

Jason’s head wanted to explode at this news, his Marylin was to be married, it didn’t make any sense, how could that be possible when she was already married, and to him? He held his head with both hands in a physical attempt to stop his head from exploding, he growled loudly clasped his head and fell to his knees.

Everyone grew quiet at first, shocked from his reactions, they had never seen him so angry before, if Jason was anything important to them, they would have ran and taken shelter from his dangerous behavior but they quickly brushed it away as he was a nobody, had no power and absolutely nothing on them so they continued to rain insults and abuses at him.

Jerk,weirdo,loser,nameless,fool,wretch,pauper, good for nothing, a waste of space, a failure and every nasty word they could think of to make Jason feel even more worse of himself.

“I don’t love you anymore Jason, I don’t think I ever did, I just stayed because I didn’t know any better, now I know money is what really matters, what life could a poor man like you give to me? I was soo blind for so long, but not anymore.

I want a divorce, I’ll get the documents ready, make sure to sign it or you will be forced to sign it as you would soon discover that my husband loves me dearly and won’t stand for whatever would stop us from being together.,”Marylin said with the coldest expression.

“Who is this man?” Jason asked.

“Oh, Stella giggled, you wouldn’t be able to guess if you were given all the clues in the world dumbass,”Stella mocked.

“Who is it Mar , I want to hear his name from your lips, Jason asked.

“It’s Hartford! she shouted off the top of her lungs, it’s Hartford Jason and there’s nothing you can do about it so get lost, I never want to see your nameless face in my life again,”Marylin exasperated.

All the pain Jason has had in his life, both physically and mentally, he never would have imagined that a persons words would hurt so much, shoot through him like tiny sharp pins all over his body and all at once in the most delicate organ of his body, his heart.

He stormed out of the house, refusing to let these people humiliate him any longer, once he was out of the house, a black car stoped in front of him, Montego got out of it and opened the passengers side of the car for his young master who entered without any questions.
