ELISA'S POV CONTD

"Stand up." Mother in law ordered making me scrunch my nose, this woman is testing my damn nerves.

"If you want to eat, go get the damn food yourself, don't interrupt my sleep." I hissed in anger shutting my eyes while ignoring her.

"Is that a way to speak to my mother?" Derrick questioned angrily.

Remind me why I chose to be with this loser of all people, probably the charm he had when we were in college, now his annoyance is beginning to surpass that charm.

"You should be grateful that all I'm doing to her is speaking in that manner." I grumbled, then all of a sudden, someone yanked me from the bed and I fell to the ground, my butt hitting the floor hard.

"Okay what the heck!" I yelled standing up, my eyes blazing with anger.

I could see Derrick recoil back in fear, he knew nothing good would come out of my anger, then why cause it in the first place.

"Why are you yelling at me? You have no right in this house, no authority, you are just an infertile woman taking up space."

My eyes twitched aggressively hearing her words, I clenched and unclenched my fists trying to control the urge to smash this darn woman head into a wall.

Before I could utter a word, Derrick's mother brought the girl that was standing in the background to her front.

"Unlike you, this girl is quite fruitful and now she is carrying my grandchild." She said making me stunned.

I stared at her, then at the girl, then at the girl's belly before glancing at Derrick.

"You cheated?" I asked in a calm voice.

He looked away giving me the answer I want.

What did I expect from a bastard like him, well at least now he has given me a good reason to leave him.

"I'm so sorry ma'am, Sir Derrick and I are in love, and this child is as a result of our love, I hope you aren't mad." I glanced at the girl and scoffed at her words.

"Yeah right, you fell in love with a married man and someone end up conceiving his child, I'm not dumb, I know what happens to have a child it's not just loving each other that brings them into this world." I paused for a bit staring at them.

"I'm not just sure who seduced who first, if you're the one, let me tell you, what makes you so sure that a man who cheated once won't do so again."

"Elisa!" Derrick yelled.

"You fucking bastard, don't yell at me!" I hissed angrily before sighing and taking in a deep breath.

"So you brought her so I can leave right? Now get out, I need to pack my things."

Derrick's mother stared at me suspiciously before leaving with the bimbo.

"Aren't you going to beg?" Derrick asked making me sigh, "What? You expect me to beg you? You are the one that cheated, you are lucky I'm not castrating you Derrick."

"You are going to regret this." He stated pointing his finger at me, while I stared him coldly, "No Derrick, you're the one going to regret this." I answered with a smile that didn't reach my eyes.

In anger, he stormed out of the room slamming the door shut.

With everyone gone, I sunk in my bed feeling a bit dejected, hurt, disappointment and anger hit me all at once.

Despite acting like it didn't affect me, I am still human after all, and betrayals no matter how big or small will definitely affect me.

"Well, I guess this chapter is closed." Sighing once more, I got up from my bed and packed my things into a suitcase, dragging it out.

My parents will be way too happy when they hear this.

Muttering curses under my breath I finally reached the parlour, seeing the way Derrick's mother and himself were fawning over his mistress, it makes me want to puke.

Only if the girl knew what is in store for her if she stays with this dude, well it's none of my business, let her eat the fruits of her labour.

"Expect the divorce papers." I announced calmly before walking out, not looking back.

They were not worth a second glance after all.

I hailed a cab, watching the trees fly pass as I imagined my parents expression.

They warned me against marrying Derrick back then, but I had insisted on it.

Recollecting our last fight, my face flushed red with embarrassment.

"Are you okay ma'am?" The taxi driver asked with concern and I nodded indicating I was.

Ha! My younger self was such a fool, well, lesson learnt, never again.

Looking at the huge gates before me I sighed, I guess today will be my highest number of counts for sighing.

Ringing the doorbell, I tapped my foot on the floor waiting impatiently.

"Elisa!" The moment the door opened up I was greeted with my mother's enthusiastic face, then she grabbed me hugging me extremely tight.

"Ma, you're going to squeeze me to death." I struggled to say, this woman is too jolly for her own good.

"You left home for a while and then refused to come visit, now you won't let me hug you, you're so ungrateful." She pouted making me resign.

"You don't have to worry, you'll be seeing my face more often now." I gestured to the suitcase behind my back and she instantly frowned.

"What the hell?" She cursed, "Did that bastard chase you out?"

"He cheated, got someone pregnant." I said with a shrug.

"Oh, my baby." She cried hugging me even tighter that before.

Did she realize we are still outside? Well it doesn't matter anyway, we own all 10,000 square feet.

"Now that you're single, do you mind going on a blind date?" My left eye twitched a bit, maybe I should have looked for an apartment instead of coming home, I am not prepared for another round of fake smiles and meeting spoilt brats.

"Come on, let's go in." She said dragging me into the compound leaving my suitcase outside.

"You don't need that crap, you have better designer dresses at home." Wasn't this woman crying few seconds ago?

Guess this was welcome back home for me.
