The Unwelcome Guest

Hailey’s POV

«FERNANDRO MANSION.»

Stepping out of the car after a long day at the market helping out my mother-in-law. I yawned before walking into the house.

It was just 5PM in the evening and I had to return home to prepare for dinner before she’ll return back home.

Knowing my husband’s company had gone public just few weeks ago and it was finally getting the recognition it deserved. I planned to reveal my true identity to him.

I’m Hailey Norway. The only daughter of the Norway family. I had given up my position and life just to be with the love of my life after opposition from my grandfather.

To him, Tyler wasn’t worthy to be with me but I decided to proof them wrong and now I could finally do that. The happiness I was feeling was out of the world.

Just as I finished dropping the last meal on the dining table, I took out my phone to check the time and realized it was already 6PM, I didn’t expect to take time cooking tonight.

Just then, the doorbell rang prompting me to go and check it out. I opened the door, and a lady came in.

She was wearing a short black slit dress, her hair packed up with her bags beside her, she shoved me aside and made her way inside which made me frown.

“Who are you?” I asked her annoyed at the arrogance she just displayed but she remained non-challant about it and went to sit at the couch taking out her phone to call whomever.

Not long, the doorbell rang again and this time, it was my husband. Just as I was about complaining to him, the lady went to hug him.

Seeing them display their intimacy and Tyler showing his lovely side made me feel like the outsider.

Even though we had been married for 2 years, Tyler wouldn’t come back home early and he was always complaining of being busy trying to build wealth for the family which caused a great falling behind in both our marriage but also our sexual relationship.

“What do you think you are doing right now?” I asked not okay with the way he just did, my heart scared at whatever I wasn’t sure it was real.

Looking at me, I could see the hatred displaying in his eyes as he shoved me aside gently escorting the lady back to sit before coming to face me.

“Let’s get a divorce.” His voice laced with irritation and hatred as he stretched out his hands at me revealing the document in his hand. No doubt! It was a divorce paper.

My eyes went wide in shock! It was at most like everything happened like a flash. “What did you just say?” I couldn’t believe what my ear had heard.

I wanted to be sure I wasn’t mishearing things. He threw the paper on me making me flinch in fear and disbelief.

“I am asking you for a divorce. Now that my company has gone public. You are not worthy of being my partner.” His words were piercing deeply into my soul.

And the way he was saying it in a non challant way like he never cared. He stretched his hand to the lady who stood up to receive it.

“This is Lillian, my first love and soon to be Mrs Fernandro. She’s the only one worthy to be addressed by my name and not you, a little delivery bitch.” He spat on my face.

The both of them smiled, my tears dropped streaming down my face slowly, u didn’t want to believe Tyler will ever do that to me.

When we first met, he saved me from the assassins sent to kill me but he mistook them as men who goes after weak ladies just to assault them.

He doesn’t know about my status in the family, he had thought I came to the company to look for someone because I was dressed so simple.

That was when I fell in love with him and I couldn’t see his facade, he must be trying to draw me away or maybe he’s testing me.

“Tyler, it’s me, Hailey. Your wife, you love me remember?” I don’t even have any idea what I was saying anymore, I just wanted him to say something.

I raised my right hand up showing my finger, my ring showing on my index finger but he suddenly burst out laughing which made me wonder what was wrong.

I thought maybe he finally wanted to confess he was only pranking me and joined him in laughing while cleaning my tears.

“You must be really dumb like he said.” The lady finally spoke out. The tension in the room grew once again and I was met with a cold glance from Tyler.

“I mean, who’ll be proud wearing a fake ring probably worth just 10 bucks in the street and even showing it off?” She shrugged, I couldn’t believe that was a fake ring.

Tyler had shown me the receipt, he bought it with his last paycheck from the company he was working with before and that was also the reason he decided he wanted to start up his new company so he’ll be able to support me more when we decide to start our own family.

My hands dropped, my mouth opened but no words could come out, now I realized how foolish I had been all along.

The late night out, the attitude, the lies, not touching me, the countless fake love anytime I noticed something suspicious or off about him.

I shook my head in fear, watching the both of them smile rather proudly at each other. “I know you are joking right now or maybe pranking me, you know how we used to be, no I mean, Tyler please.” I broke down in tears.

I didn’t want to believe I had wasted two years of my life on someone who was busy loving someone or no, not loving me but using me as a substitute.

“You have to face the reality Hailey. Someone of your status also deserves to be loved?” He scoffed and pushed me off which made me staggered falling down on my knees.

I was hurt but more hurt as I stared at them. Just then something caught my eye in the divorce paper on the floor.

“One million to substitute as a scapegoat and be sent to prison.” Shocked!
