Her Final Stand

I slowly looked up at Tyler, stretching up the paper for him to see clearly, “What do you mean here?” I point at the statement.

Even if he really wanted to leave me but what does the statement agreement on the paper means. Lillian stepped forward, bending hypocritical in the way she talked.

“Hailey, I really thought you were smarter than he told me about. I mean, I expected you to be better than this.” Her eyes glaring deep into mine, I couldn’t tell her next move but she grabbed my hair all of a sudden making me yelp in pain.

“Fuck.” I groaned, trying to keep myself in check and retrieve myself back. I expected Tyler to at least step in and stood up for me but he was only staring at her with a mischievous expression.

“It’s simple. This states you’ll be a substitute for me in prison. I was accused of embezzling company funds which I did for your husband and soon to be ex husband here, luckily, it’s just accusation so you might wxcape.” She released me, pushing me disgustingly.

“Why will you do this Tyler? You are destroying yourself.” I wasn’t concerned about the charging or replacing her in court because I could easily get away with it and provide sufficient evidence that I wasn’t the one but Lillian.

I stood up weak expecting a response from him but he stood back and went to sit on the couch, he then rest on his knees using his hands for support.

“Because I hate you.” The word, ‘I HATE YOU’ rang in my head and I staggered in shock, all these while, I was the only one being delusional by loving him.

“I only saw you as a puppet into managing my family, I mean, you took up hard works, help mom at the market and even become a full house wife for me so why not?”

“It helped me in concentrating more on the love of my life. Now that you know the truth, will you sign the document and get the fuck out of the Fernanfro mansion before your stain stench the house.”

Lillian laughed at his words, but I was rather heartbroken. Just then the door opened and my mother-in-law and sister-in-law came in. I thought I was finally saved seeing them.

They wouldn’t agree for him to divorce me no matter what. I helped my sister-in-law, Benita get into the most prestigious university and even give her monthly allowance every month without missing even though she doesn’t ask me question.

“You don’t have the right to do that. Will mom agree to it?” I spoke out as mom came over, she smiled and I thought she was coming for me until she went over to Lillian hugging her.

Benita did the same squealing all over her. “Oh my God, Sis Lillian had to be the beauty goddess of our family. I’m so happy having her as my sister-in-law.” My jaw dropped in shock with the flatter and the sweet interactions between all of them.

It made me felt like the outsider of the family or maybe I had been one but didn’t want to believe it. I shake my head, my eyes teary as I cried silently.

“What the fuck do you all think you are doing.” I screamed holding my head, everyone stopped dead in tracks and faced me.

“What’s she doing here brother?” That was Benita’s voice. Her voice laced with disdain and irritation, staring at her, I couldn’t believe this was the same lady I had sponsored through and she’ll be in her final year soon.

My shock at everyone attitude was too unreal and I was starting to have a headache on whatever they were doing.

“Doing what was wright.”

“Who’ll want their son to stay with an empty useless barren and a filthy delicer woman.” My mother-in-law scoffed out in disdain. I was in disbelief with what she just said.

“If this is a prank, then you all better stop it right now because this is real insanity.” I was tired of their acting.

“You are the one being delusional here ok. My brother only loves Lillian and will never love someone as low as you.”

“Brother, do you know she was actually sleeping with older men just to get the top university and even all the money she was giving me. Gross!”

Hearing that from Benita made me more heartbroken. Was this the family I broke ties with my own people for?

Was this the people I let go of my identity for? Was I blind in the first place or was it just being grateful?

I’ve had enough of their tantrums and now it was time for me to unleash the real devil in me. I crossed my arms, staring hard at Benita who was showing her arrogance was annoying me so much.

‘THWACK.’ I didn’t expect the slap coming from me, I had no idea when I even moved my hand to slap her hard on her right cheek. Serves her right!

“I’ll give you my money just for you to have a great life in the university, I’ll ask for my brother to give you a full time free admission to the top university without you worrying to pay any dime because I thought I was assisting you means assisting my husband.” She shifted back in fear as I walked towards her.

“But you are framing me? Coming from you is really shocking cause wow.” I laughed sarcastically. My eyes were red from anger.

I face my mother-in-law, “I really think you should have your son checked up, I’m not the one with the problem of not giving birth, it was him who refused to touch me. I fear he shouldn’t be impotent right.”

I knew he wouldn’t be impotent judging by how much intimacy was between Lillian and him but I was using that to intimidate his mom and it was really fun.

“Now back to you, the one million you are offering me to be a stand-in for a fraud like her is really cheap. That 1million alone is just the money for the doormat of my house and you think you are worthy of me ?” I laughed out.

I picked up the divorce paper signing it frantically. “You should really watch out these days because that’s the only way to avoid you getting imprisoned.”

“I don’t have any ties with your family anymore, early morning tomorrow, we’ll get the divorce certificates tomorrow. ”

With that said, I gently walked out of the mansion not picking anything except for the purse I bought in while coming from outside.
