Your Wife Has Left

Wyatt was helping Hailee out of the car when his father came home. Hailee leaned against him weakly, her small hands encircled around his strong arm. His father saw the loving couple and his expression immediately changed. He shook his head and sighed before he enter the mansion. 

Wyatt and Hailee noticed that he was displeased with the fact that he brought home his lover. 

"Wyatt, I'm afraid your grandfather will get mad again if he sees me. Why don't I stay inside a nearby hotel instead?" Hailee's gentle voice made Wyatt's heart ache. He refused to let her feel wronged again. This time, he was very determined to protect and make her his wife no matter what his grandfather and father might say. 

"Hailee, don't worry about that. I'll give him an explanation," he took both her hands and gave them an affectionate squeeze. 

"But Wyatt," she called his name affectionately. "I feel very bad if I accidentally upset Miss Ria. I'm afraid or might cause some misunderstand and your father doesn't seem to like me," she pouted worriedly. 

"Don't worry about my father or Ria. It's over between us. I'll convince my dad to agree to our marriage," his soft and gentle voice made Hailee relaxed. She was relieved that he was by her side. Hailee nodded at his words and leaned her head against his muscled chest. 

"Hailee, why are your hands so cold? Hurry. You must come inside and warm yourself," he felt her hands. He was extremely concerned for her. He ignored anything about his wife as Hailee was his priority. 

"If I go in like this, won't your wife become angry? I'm afraid she might misunderstood," Hailee looked up at the handsome man with doll-like eyes. 

"Hailee, you should stop thinking about her. I know you are kind and feel sorry for her but you need to think of your health too. Besides, we are getting divorce soon," he happily led her into the mansion. 

Soon, he would be free of Ria and he would be able to marry Hailee, the gentle woman whom he had loved for many years. It was time to give Hailee what she deserved after all those suffering she had been through. Wyatt knew that life wasn't easy for Hailee. He had made her wait for him so long. 

The servants and maids stood on both sides, bowing their heads low with respect for the master's lover. Everyone gave Hailee a grand welcome. Even Ally and Gloria were present to welcome Hailee. They treated her like she was some celebrity or big shot. It s doubt that Hailee came from a wealthy family. Her father was a good friend of Joe Earlson, Wyatt's father. She was rich and powerful as well so naturally everyone were in favour of her. 

Ally and Gloria followed the couple behind as they made their way into the mansion. Their faces were glowing with so much happiness that one could mistaken them as light bulbs. Hearing it from her son's mouth, Gloria couldn't express her happiness. That useless country girl was finally gone, she sang in her heart. She, too, didn't understand why her husband's father would choose Ria. Back then when the old man suddenly announced their wedding, she was the first to complain and voice out her opinions. But no matter what she said or do, no one paid her any attention because the old man's words were final. 

Gloria wished that the old man would have a heart attack when he hears of the divorce. She smiled wickedly to herself. Some chaos was sure to follow and she would surely relish in that. Her husband should be home by now. Gloria turned to Wyatt and said," I'll go check on your father. He seems grumpy," 

"Okay, mom," Wyatt replied. Then she headed up the beautiful spiral staircase.

Wyatt took off Hailee's thin coat and passed it to his assistant. Then he led her to the fireplace where she warmed herself. Dinner was getting ready at this time so Hailee agreed to having dinner with them after Wyatt persuaded her for a long time. She was still afraid that Ria might get upset and misunderstand something. 

Just before dinner, the butler came over to inform Wyatt. His face was pale as if he had seen a ghost. 

"Sir! Sir!" The butler, Mr Stone ran over to him. 

"What's wrong? Why are you shouting like this?" He sounded irritated. Hailee has just gotten back from overseas and she needed some rest. He was afraid that the noise might disturb her rest. 

"Sir, your wife has left! She didn't take her luggage and went out into the rain!" 

Wyatt was alarmed at Mr Stone's words. 

"What!? Then what about the divorce agreement?" He inquired. He seemed to be more worried about the divorce papers than her. 

"She signed her name on the divorce papers but she didn't take any of the money or the house you gave her!" The butler expressed his disbelief. 

Wyatt was so shocked to the core. If she didn't take anything, not even her luggage, then what did she want from him? That house that he gave her was with millions! Somehow, he felt angry. 

When his grandfather first asked him to marry Ria, he thought that she had played some tricks to make his grandfather obey her. He had met many women in his life, all wanting to sleep with him for his wealth and power. He was used to getting attention from women. He was sure that Ria fall into the same category as those women. 

"Where is she?" He demanded. 

"I don't know, sir. We can't find her anymore," his butler answered, looking at the polished marble floor. To be honest, Mr Stone liked Ria because she was respectable and kind to everyone. She wasn't like the other women he had seen who would come clinging to his master. 

"Find her. I want to know her whereabouts," he ordered. 

"Yes, sir," the butler went to contact Ricky.
