The Vengeful Son-In-Law

Chapter 6: Divorce.

I knew this wasn't just something I can escape,it felt as if it was planned, because Riley wasn't crying anymore ,she was glaring at me ,so was her mother and the maid wasn't fearful ,she folded her hand and it was below her cheat, pushing her breast upwards and she has a smirk on her face.

I have been framed.

"Will you sign it now?" He asked again and seeing the pain my hands were in I looked at Riley, my wife.

"Do you want to get divorced from me?" I asked her and she scowled.

"Yes, I don't want to be married to you anymore." She replied and I felt my heart sting a bit as my lips quivered.

"Fine, but don't post my pictures online." I said.

I don't know what type of pictures they took, I just wanted to leave.

It was evident that Riley did this deliberately.

"Don't make demands, I will give orders, you will follow it without questions." Mr Harry told me.

The divorce paper was placed on a table with everyone looking at me.

I wanted to sign it and saw Riley's signature there already.

"So you did this," I said, as I looked at her ,as my heart sank and tears filled my eyes but I blinked it away.

"Sign it already." She yelled and I took the pen with shaky hands and signed my signature and the divorce papers were snatched out of my hands.

"Finally I am a free woman, mommy." Riley exclaimed in joy ,as she hugged her mother and I could only stare in disbelief.

"So you framed me?" I asked her and she turned and rolled her eyes.

"You were the cause of it, you were snooping around and found what you shouldn't have!" She hissed and clicked her tongue in annoyance.

I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat.

"Get out of this mansion." She instructed.

"Let me take my things." I said ,but when I took a step the two guards grabbed me again.

"What's going on? Let go of me!" I yelled.

"Toss him out, now will be a good time to announce it." She said, as they made way for the guards to drag me out of the room and downstairs where there were guests.

What is happening here?

Is there a party and I didn't even know, was this also planned to humiliate me further.

Everyone turned to look at me.

"Isn't that Riley's husband?" A guest asked loudly.

"Yes ,it's the live in son in law, shameless thing, why are they dragging him out." I heard their questions.

I was only wearing my trousers, so they wanted to drag me out with the guests present and reporters outside.

Just as I thought I was tossed outside and the reporters gathered round me, putting the mic in my mouth and the camera on my face.

"Why did you cheat on Mrs Riley?" One reporter asked and I was taken aback by the question.

"What gave you the nerves to cheat on your rich wife?" They asked and I was surprised.

The news of me cheating hasn't spread and they already knew ,as if they were called here to do this.

I wanted to say I didn't do anything ,but I don't think it matters, they were paid to do this.

I was sure my in law's had called them here and paid them to do this interview.

I pushed my way through the crowd of reporters and ran, as they chased after me.

"Wait Mr Alex, please make a comment, you can't just leave!" I heard.

"Stop running and answer the questions!" I heard another yell.

"Why cheat on your matrimonial bed?" I heard another question.

I didn't know that Riley could be this wicked.

She and her family planned this.

I ran like a homeless man running away after stealing from another person.

I haven't gotten to the main road ,but the reporters stopped chasing after me , but what should I do now?

My phone was at that house.

I was standing behind a big tree, hiding from plain sight , thinking of what to do next.

"Mr Alex, Mr Alex, where are you?" I heard a familiar voice call and I got out of my hiding place and saw her.

The oldest maid in the mansion was holding a backpack.

"What are you doing here?" I asked her , she saw me and sighed in relief.

"I thought I lost you ,take this." She told me as she stretched her hand out, indicating I should take the backpack.

She gave him a backpack with a sad face.

I opened it and I saw my phone and my shirt, my documents, she put everything important for me, everything here was mine.

I looked up to her.

"Don't worry, I know they framed you," she began as she shook her head sadly.

"You would never have an affair and that girl, I know, she didn't touch you ,so don't worry you didn't cheat on your wife, the maid was only told to wear revealing outfit and sleep beside you, it was just an evil plot to get you out of the house." She said sadly ,as she shook her head.

"But why?" I asked in disbelief.

"To get you to leave, there is no other reason, I think Mrs Riley wanted a divorce from you and not give you any money." She replied and I closed my eyes momentarily and sighed.

"So she wanted a divorce and decided to humiliate me?" I asked as I clenched my fists.

"You should leave before they find you here." She told me and I exhaled sharply.

"Thank you for helping me, I won't forget it." I said, as I began walking away from this life and family.

Guess I was homeless and jobless now.

I needed a place to sleep.

I called a friend and he told me to go to his apartment which wasn't far from here. I needed someone to talk to.

It would be safer staying with him than going to a hotel room, which I don't know how long I would stay.

I took a cab to his apartment building.

I walked up to his apartment door and pressed the doorbell.

My phone rang and I answered.

"I am in the kitchen, just open the door, push it really hard ,it gets hard sometimes to open the door, it's faulty." He told me and hung up the call.

I turned the doorknob and tried opening the door but it didn't budge.

I tried pushing it with my other hand ,but it refused to budge and refused to open. As he said, I went backwards and with force I ran and used my shoulder to push on the door and on the three try ,it opened.

What was that?

I walked inside and closed the door, he was inside the kitchen.

"You should fix your door," I told him, as I gently massaged my shoulder.

"I know I am going to fix it today." He replied with a nervous chuckle.

He cooked and we ate together, he tried talking about my divorce.

"Can we just drop it, please." I told him and he nodded in understanding.

"Fine, let me show you the guest room." He said as he led me to the guest room, I thanked him and he left me alone. I kept my backpack on the bed, I took a bath and relaxed on the bed.

I was resting, so I just closed my eyes to sleep. Maybe tomorrow when I wake up, this would just be a bad dream.
