Chapter 5: The Divorce!
Ethan screamed with fury in his voice and in his eyes as Miss Amber held her pistol so close to his forehead.
"Do it if you have the guts!"
"Do it!" Ethan screamed again
Miss Amber was growing impatient by the second and before Ethan could utter another word, she hit him on the lips and slapped him hard. He tumbled over but the masculine brought him back to his position.
"I have had enough of your tantrums, perhaps I should allow my men deal with you a little," Miss Amber said with disgust and walked out, shutting the door behind her as she went out for some air, checking her watch to confirm time, she needed the damn signature and Ethan was nothing more than a pain in the ass. She smoked with reckless abandon and on getting inside the dark room, she could hear Ethan groan in pain, his face had turned to a punching bag in mere minutes.
"Are you done playing games now?, or should I leave you to taste the iron fist of my men once more?" Amber asked with not a glimpse of smile on her face.
"Please leave me alone, I mean no harm please, I want nothing of this madness!" Ethan confessed as blood gushed down from his nostrils.
"Sign the divorce and it will all be over!"
Ethan stared at the file and the pen placed in front of him once more, his heart racing fast and his head tumbling over, Amber grew impatient once more and punched him again and this time, she was getting pissed by the second and Ethan on the other hand was in great peril as he screamed, the flashbacks came and his body shook in pain and fear.
"From what I hear, you haven't fully recovered from your tragic accident, sign the damn papers and this torment will be over soon," Amber said with a calm voice as she rubbed his hair.
Ethan in defeat signed not only the divorce but a restraining order to stay away from Evelyn for the next ten years, Amber and her men smiled, the job was done and Ethan was in complete dilemma, having no clue of what was happening, in less than an hour, they threw him in the trunk of their car and zoomed off again.
But back in Mrs Judith's mansion, Evelyn was greatly saddened as she cried her eyes out and yelled all over the house.
"How could he embarrass me in such a manner, I had friends and business associates in the gathering, I had a reputation and Ethan made himself and us look so stupid, the internet is on fire, everyone is talking about his fake bracelet!" Evelyn screamed as she scrolled through her phone, seeing the hate comments and mockery on her profile.
She was in a state of peril as she threw her clothes and ruined her makeup, she didn't expect the most joyous day of her life to go so south.
"I told you that Ethan has nothing to offer you other than shame and regret, that fool is a leech on your skin but you have failed to realize the truth and it hurts me more than you!" Mrs Judith muttered as she caressed her daughter's hair.
"He should have at least asked me for some money to buy real gold, he ridiculed me mother!, he disgraced me, I'm on the freaking news right now!" Evelyn yelled as she cried the more. Somehow, Mrs Judith wasn't surprised, she never expected anything good from poor Ethan, he was a disease before her eyes.
"It's going to be alright my darling daughter, Ethan is the one to take the shame, not you."
Evelyn slowly calmed herself down with her mother's soft words until Mrs Judith's phone rang, breaking the silence once more, it was a call from David Sinclair.
"It's a pleasure to hear from you, I take it that you enjoyed the party," Mrs Judith answered after she had gained some distance from Evelyn who was still sober.
"Yes I did but you know what else I want to enjoy tonight?" David Sinclair asked, his requests sounded like commands casting fear on anyone in mere seconds.
"Lord David, Evelyn isn't ready yet, she's still saddened by what my useless son-in-law did at her birthday, she's petrified and ashamed, the news is everywhere," Mrs Judith revealed.
"That's none of my concern, I have waited far too long and I'm ready to collect what's rightfully mine!, get her prepared for my presence, I'm on my way," Lord David commanded.
"David Sinclair, we had an agreement and you seem to be breaking the terms, we never agreed on this!" Mrs Judith said with boldness, trying to be tough but David laughed before he hung up the call.
In less than an hour, he arrived at the mansion with few of his men armed to the teeth with exotic cars as escorts, Mrs Judith was stunned beyond words as she spoke to David Sinclair.
"You have to be patient, you're breaking a lot of the terms here and I can have you do such now!" Mrs Judith protested again, her face covered in a frown.
"Mrs Judith, do I look like a man who follows the rules?, I break and make rules old woman and tonight, I desire your daughter, I don't care how you do it. I have waited for so long, she ought to be mine but Ethan has stood in the way for years, this is my chance to lay with her and take her for myself, I won't let that poor bastard get her ever again!" David said with disgust in his voice, watching as Mrs Judith slowly left his presence to do his bidding.
She walked into Evelyn's room with a drink she had laced with pills to make her extremely horny, but on entering, she was stunned that Evelyn had drank to stupor, finishing the full glass of whiskey, she was completely drunk and this however had become the golden opportunity she wanted. She quickly held Evelyn, patting her back slowly and romantically.
"It's alright dear, drink this, it will make you feel better, Ethan is a stupid man, he's a fool, you deserve better my child," Judith whispered into her ears as she watched her finish the drink, she was finally ready for Lord David who bashed himself in sweet wine.
"She's ready," Mrs Judith's voice came from behind as he slowly stood up from the couch.
"You have done well Mother-in-law, I know you will be much pleased to have me as your new son-in-law, Evelyn's future will be bright as the sun with me in her life. I promise to make her my queen, the connections, wealth and power that you stand to gain from our union is infinite Mrs Judith," David whispered as he kissed her hand, Mrs Judith's smile was visible, she knew David Sinclair wasn't a man to go back on his words, finally, a perfect replacement for Ethan had come.
Ethan on the other hand had been thrown off on the streets, with his abductors zooming off into the night, he lay there helpless until a good Samaritan offered him a ride home, he smiled as soon as he saw the mansion gates, staggering inside with nothing but the intention to tell his wife what he had suffered, his day had been bad from the start and on seeing the fleet of cars in the mansion, he was stunned, asking questions did him no good as none of the workers voiced a word, they all watched him stagger in.
The living room was empty and so was the stairway, he was completely trashed but he needed to see Evelyn, he needed to tell the truth that he had been framed, scammed and abducted but with each step, he could hear moans, he had made love to his wife enough to memorize her moans. He bit himself, thinking it was just another flashback but this time, everything was real, he moved closer with fear, her room door was half closed.
"What the hell is she doing?, have I become so useless that she needs a toy to satisfy her urge?" Ethan muttered angrily and increased his pace and as he opened the door, his life flashed before his eyes.
"Faster baby, go faster, take me to the moon!" she moaned loudly, feeling the moment with reckless abandon while Ethan stared in shock, his heart stopped and so did his breath, his soul escaped for a split second as he watched the horrific scene before him.
In that tense moment David Sinclair turned his head and locked eyes with Ethan.
And smiled.
