19 Divorce

He let go of her immediately leading to her hitting her forehead on the table as she fell, "watch it. What are you doing? How could you throw up on me… filthy… it so smelly?"

He didn't even notice she bumped her head on the table and there was a slight blood flowing from her forehead. Looking at husband who was busy trying to find something to wipe himself, she struggled to stand up. She scoffed just looking at his disgusted expression. That was how she was feeling looking at him. Disgusted.

She struggled and walked upstairs while Martin wiped his face and cloth with the towel given to him by Thomas.

" Sir, Miss Evelyn seem to be hurt when she fell, her forehead is bleeding" Thomas hesitated for a moment before he spoke. He had been with the couple for years. This was the first time in their marriage he saw them fight. He knew a thing or two about what happening in the mansion but he could not help them. He pitied the boss lady. She seemed to be living in agony.

He could see the people speaking well of how lovingly they look when out on meetings and parties as governor and wife. But they don't know what she was going through at the house. There was a number of nights he could hear her cry all by herself at the balcony of their bedroom when master was not around.

There were some moments that she would chase them away from her but still they could capture them. He one point saw pictures on top of the dining table of sir and some women in a room. He was shocked but he went on his errands and pretended he didn't see anything. His attitude towards the boss changed and started to take extra care of the boss lady.

It may not seem as a big gesture but sharing some memes with her helped in cheering her up when driving around the city.

"What did you say? Where is she?" he asked as he looked around. He was too occupied with the filthy vomit on his cloth and face to notice her going upstairs. Thomas didn't speak and pointed upstairs.

"Shit… I messed up again' he ran after her but no one was in the bedroom. He went to the bathroom and the walk in closet but no one, "Eve… Eve…" he called over and over but no one was answering. He opened the door to their bedroom balcony, but still not there.

"The woman will drive me crazy… where could she have gone to again…" he went to the next room, it was clean, and she was not there. The only other place she have gone to was their baby's room. She had locked the door for years what happened for her to remember her painful moment? He wondered as he made his way to the baby's room.

He remembered the effort they put together in decorating the room. They had done everything from the furniture's, baby coat, clothes just thinking of it made his heart tighten for a moment. He stood at the door for a second before knocking, "Eve. Please open the door." He tried to twist the knob but he noticed she locked it from inside.

For almost half an hour knocking on the door, nobody moved inside the room. He waited a little longer and gave up. He knew her too well. If she didn't open after all the knocks then she will not open the door at all.

Inside the room, Eve was looking at the baby coat crying. There were no sound of her sobs but tears were flowing down her cheeks. Her eyes were swollen and her hair unkempt. She looked devastated and someone ready to give up.

" baby, it has been long since mommy came to see your room. I miss you a lot. Mommy loves you so much… don't hate mommy for not coming to visit you often, its just too painful to think you left me all alone." She walked touching the different toys and everything she bought over and over.

She remembered how excited they were to have the baby that they started preparing early. The color they chose was beautiful. They didn't know if it was a boy or a girl. They wanted it to be a surprise. So they mixed blue and pink in the room in way it would favor any of the genders. Just thinking of all the happy moment of their son and daughter made her smile. Yes, they were twins. Buy the time they checked to see how the baby was doing, the doctor confirmed they were two babies.

She never told Martin about the babies being twins after she lost them. The night alone was enough torture for her. Her pains were too much and dissatisfaction with her husband behavior took a toll on her.

She cried herself to sleep in the room. By the time she woke up, it was almost ten o'clock. She went into the bathroom in the room and took a shower before walking to their bedroom

Martin was no where to be found. It was a Saturday and he didn't work on weekends recently. She didn't dwell on him and went to change. She took her breakfast downstairs and went out.

She met her lawyer whom she had been communicating and meeting for the last week. He gave her a document that she confirmed the previous day. She had made her mind. She had given up on her marriage. It was over for and Martin.

But first she had to visit someone close to them. Her mother in law. She had always been considerate of her and visited her from time to time. She had always known the woman never likely her as a daughter in law. At first she thought it was just how mothers were with their sons but her figure of speech whenever she visited made her realize she was not always welcomed.

They tolerated her because of her family background and their son.

Just as she got close to the house, she saw a familiar figure entering the compound with shopping bags in both her hands. She got out of a taxi and went inside.

" What the hell? Why is she here?" it was none other than Aliya…
