Chapter 3: Mariah in anger

"Hello Miss Edenne, you don't get me Mr.Easton asked me not to come back without you signing the divorce papers so please be kind enough to liberate me," Comry mentioned.

"Will you get out of here, and I don't want to ever see you come back here okay, and in case you've forgotten, I'm still Mrs. Watson wife to Neil Easton okay, so you dare not call me miss, you've forgotten so soon that I was the one who gave you the job you are occupying today, and you dare talk to me in that manner, you are just like the others all ungrateful, get out now before I lose my patience," Mariah voiced out.

Comry saw Mariah was tensed and rushed out of the house, in her hands, she had this metal cup which at any given moment she could hit it against his head. Mariah reminding Comry how she was the one who made him get that job, brought out some atom of shame in him, a few years ago, when Neil and Mariah just got married, went on a walk and there, they met Comry selling popcorn, and in the case of patronizing him she noticed he was an educated young man through his manner of approach, she needed to know why a graduate was in the streets selling popcorn instead of relaxing in we'll designed office. She asked more about his education and he said he was a lawyer but was unable of getting himself a job, at that time Neil needed a lawyer. Mariah been a kind lady linked him to her husband and he became his lawyer, he had been responsible for all his affairs both private and public, he soon forgot about that and did not hesitate to call her miss.

Mariah in anger called her husband who was in his car on his way to the house, seeing her call, he assumed she was aware of all that was going on, he only answered the call because he wanted to make sure she had signed the divorce papers. "Hello,"

"Hello my husband, I received your surprised you should be kidding if you think you can get rid of me so easily,"

"What do you want, I'm occupied and I got some few seconds over the phone so be fast about it," Neil mentioned.

"Never in your life did you talk to me in such manner, the love you claimed was actually fake right, but I want you to know that I'm not going to sign the divorce papers, we are married and no one, I repeat no one would come in between us, that's what you always said each time I fell depressed and I think you need this words too cause right now you are depressed."

"You can't force me to love you, and you will have to sign the divorce papers because I'm done with you,"

"I'm not done with you!" Mariah said and she dropped the call.

Naja was through at work and was on her way home. She arrived home and met Mariah seating on the floor, "Hey baby girl, what are you doing seating on the floor? And it seemed like you were crying, is there something I should know?" Naja asked. Caitlyn took her to the room to explain things to her, and before Caitlyn could start, Naja turned her head and met Mariah's luggage in the wardrobe. "What's going on? Why is Mariah's luggage here, did she have a misunderstanding with her mother-in-law?" Naja asked as to her, it was the only reason which might push Mariah of leaving her husband's house.

"I wish that was the case, but it's more than that, Neil threw Mariah out of the house, and the worse part of it, he replaced her with Khloe and now he's demanding for divorce,"

"What! You don't mean that, which of the Khloe's, Mariah's half-sister?"

"Yeah!"

Naja couldn't believe that Neil could ever do that to Mariah. She taught Neil was in love with her and would never do such to her. Before Neil proposed to Mariah, he pleaded with her to make things more easier for him as they were good friends. "I only accepted this marriage because I thought Neil was a responsible man, I won't allow him mock at my friend and I this manner, I have to call him and talk some senses into his head," she took her phone which wasn't far from her and called Neil but he never answered, he was avoiding her calls. Not knowing what to do, she went back to the living room to comfort Mariah who seemed not to be comfortable. "I'm sorry about what happened Mariah, I never knew Neil was gonna behave in such a way, I'm honestly hurt," Caitlyn said.

"No, you don't have to feel guilty, it's not your fault if he chooses to behave like an animal instead of facing his falls,"

Neil arrived home and In anger, he called his lawyer, asking why Mariah was refused to sign the divorce papers. "I'm sorry Sir, she refused to sign the papers and there was nothing I could do, she had a metal cup in her hands and promised to hit it against my head if I didn't step out of the house.

"Like I care, listen to me attentively, you have barely two weeks in convincing her to sign those papers. Or else you are going to lose your job, okay?" Neil yelled out. Comry was lost in this situation, as he never knew what to do. On one hand he wasn't willing to destroy the relationship he built with Mariah, on the other hand he never wanted to lose his job. Losing his job was gonna be very fatal for him, as replacing it with another one was gonna be very difficult.

Jane overheard her son talking about the divorce papers and asked him if Mariah had refused to sign the divorce papers. "Yes, she refused signing them,"

"I told you that this girl was only after your money but you never believed me, now you can see what I said wasn't a lie," Jane said.
