5.

The words seemed too big but I said it anyway and Simon sneered. He looked happy to see that the Nelson family supported him instead of me even though I was the one telling the truth.

“Are you okay, Simon? I hope you didn’t get hurt?” Jenna asked, she was worried about Simon and as she helped him up, he placed his weight on her shoulder.

Simon scowled at me and mouthed to me that I don’t belong with the Nelsons and he’s going to make sure that I get kicked out.

I didn’t say anything, I was going to leave the house anyway. I looked away from Simon and irritation settled in my stomach.

What angered me the most was the fact that he was acting generous and Jenna was falling for his fake generosity.

“I’m fine, Jenna,” Simon said, his voice was calm and he sounded like he wasn’t the one who had started trouble with me in the first place.

“Don’t be too harsh on him, it was just a misunderstanding and I’ll forgive him for your sake.” He added and I felt even more irritated by him.

I couldn’t believe that Simon was trying to act like a good person when he was the one who had accused me of stealing something and he’d also tried to snatch the ring from me.

Scoffing, I looked away and put the ring in my pocket. I absolutely do not want to get caught up in anything that has to do with Simon and the Nelson family again.

“I’m sorry for the misunderstanding, man.” Simon apologized mockingly and Jenna and Lisa immediately forbade him from apologizing.

“You don’t have to apologize to this fool!” Lisa was quick to say, “it’s his own fault for being rude to you.” She added and Jenna agreed.

“That’s true, you don’t have to be so generous all the time, I know how irritating he can be.” Jenna said and Simon only smiled while I kept quiet.

I watched as Simon pulled away from Jenna but he winced almost immediately as he held his wrist and Jenna immediately became worried about him.

“What’s wrong? Did you get hurt?” Jenna asked, her voice was heavy with worry and Simon let out a forced smile.

“I’m okay, I just sprained my wrist a little.” He winced as he explained, Jenna immediately started taking measures to take care of him.

She wanted to help him walk and even though it was clear that Simon was lying, I couldn’t say anything, I remained silent as I watched Simon keep up his act.

“You caused this,” Jenna said to me through gritted teeth as she tried to help Simon, “go downstairs and find some ointments and bring it to my room so I can rub it on Simon’s wrist.” She ordered.

I couldn’t say anything and only watched as Lisa and Jenna took Simon to Jenna’s room so that he could rest while I looked for the ointment.

It didn’t take long for me to find the ointment that Simon was going to use and I immediately took it to Jenna’s room but I only saw Simon there.

I wasn’t in the mood to engage Simon in a conversation that could get me in another trouble so I looked around in search for Jenna but she wasn’t in the room with Simon.

“Where is Jenna?” I managed to ask after a while and it was almost at that same time that I heard water running in the bathroom.

I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me who was in there. My stomach clenched tight and my breath hitched a little as I tried to brush it off.

“Jenna is in the bathroom,” Simon answered, “she’s taking a shower and if you’re sensible, you should leave right now.” He added.

My stomach curled, I’d just signed the divorce papers and she was already taking a shower while there was another man in the room.

“Jenna and I are going to do something in this room as soon as she gets out of the shower.” Simon added.

I didn’t need any more explanation, I already understood what Simon meant by that and my stomach tightened in disgust.

I felt irritated and was disgusted by what Simon had just implied but when Simon met my gaze, he seemed to be delighted as an evil smile took on his lips.

“But, if you want to watch then feel free to do so because I have no problem with that personally.” Simon continued teasing and mocking me.

“I don’t know if Jenna will accept it but if she does then you can stay and see what is going to happen between Jenna and I on this bed soon.” He finished.

I smiled wryly, the thought of what was going to happen on that bed later slammed my face hard but still, I controlled myself and after dropping the bottle of ointment on the table, I turned to leave the room.

I don’t care about Jenna anymore because after-all, we’re divorced, I don’t care if she has sex with Simon, all I want to do right now is to leave.

I could hear Simon laughing in Jenna’s room when I walked out but I shut the sound out of my head and kept on walking.

Getting back to my room, I stared at it for a while and couldn’t believe how long it’s been. This is the room I had stayed in for the past three years.

Glancing around the room, I checked it carefully, there were only several clothes that I needed to take along with me since I don’t really have anything much.

I pulled a suitcase out and started packing my clothes inside it and soon it didn’t take long for me to fit everything into the suitcase.

I sighed to myself again as I closed the suitcase and I was about to leave when I heard a really loud, mean voice scream behind him.

“YOU FILTHY IDIOT!” The voice shouted and I immediately turned to see that it was my mother in-law, Lisa, she rushed towards me in a fit of rage and scratched the luggage off my hands.

“What have you done?” She sneered, “this is a branded suitcase and you think you’re worthy of it?” She scowled at me, her voice heavy with anger.

“I don’t blame you, you seem to have forgotten your place.” She gritted as she opened the suitcase and poured out everything I had packed.

“Use this!” She flung a recycle bag at me. I looked at the bag lying at my feet and I bent down to pick it up.

“That’s where trash like yours belongs.”
