2024-10-29 19:42:56Natalia rolled her eyes at my words and placed her hand on her hip.
"It doesn't matter how you feel about this all that matters here is me and how I feel" She replied with arrogance.
"Are you out of your mind?" I asked in annoyance.
" You want me to accept the child of your lover?" I asked in disbelief, staring at her as if she had grown two heads, because honestly I am starting to think she did.
" If you knew you were going to cheat on me you should have done it properly and not get yourself knocked up,you should come up with a better plan for your child because I am not going to accept someone else's child as my own!" I shout in anger.
"I think we will have a problem there because I am not getting rid of this child Thomas, you have to accept it,there is no other way around this, We are married and it's normal for us as a married couple to have kids. I think we have waited long enough." Natalia said with on single remorse as she stood her ground.
A frown on her face.
Did she actually expect me to accept the child of her lover after she cheated on me?
How low can this woman go?
"What exactly is going through that brainless head of yours ,to think that I would accept a child I know nothing about...damn Natalia you are pathetic." I hissed at her.
At this point I was fuming in rage in front of her as I glared daggers at her.
"Thomas, don't insult me." She said,
"Get out of my room!" I yelled at her pointing at the door.
"You're asking me to get out of your room in my own house?" She asked before bursting out in laughter.
My hand fell to my side when it dawned on me that I was the helpless one here.
I am an orphanage,tossed from one foster home to the other and now I got here with her.
I bit my lower lips and clenched my fists.
How could she hurt me this way after everything I had done for her.
I gave her all the credit for my work.
If I had gone to work for her Father I would not have received half the insult this family had given me and what people now say about me.
A golddigger when I only wanted Natalia to love me.
I scoffed at my pathetic state.
"Accept the child or be kicked out of this house, your choice Thomas." Natalia gave me that option and she was unrepentant of her actions.
"Get out of my room you cheat!" I yelled at and when she didn't move I got a hold of her hand and dragged her out of my room shutting the door behind me.
Natalia, why did I meet you that day?
I stumbled down on the back of my door thinking about my life and how I let it get this messed up and get insulted by Gabriel's family that I was actually helping.
Shortly after I heard a lot of banging on the door with thunderous screams coming from Gabriel.
"I will break down this door and drag you out myself if you don't open it!" He yelled in anger.
I went to my nightstand, took my laptop and wallet and a few clothes and put it in a backpack before opening up the door and Gabriel threw a punch at me which I easily caught his hand.
The guards with him got a hold of me and under Gabriel's instructions they dragged me out to the living room.
"After all my family did for you, you had to do something like this to us. What do I expect from a low life like you!" Gabriel continued shouting at top of his lungs insulting me while I kept quiet.
When we got to the living room I saw Natalia shedding fake tears as her mother consoled her.
"I didn't know that you were grateful to this point that you would get my daughter pregnant and ask her to get rid of it!" Mrs Gabriel shouted at me as he charged at me slapping me hard across the face.
Now Natalia has twisted all these and I knew no one would believe me.
"I knew that it would get to this point one day , he dares bite the hand that feeds him." Logan hissed at me.
"Kneel and apologize to my daughter or you will leave this house." Gabriel threatened.
"That child isn't mine and I won't accept it. I would rather leave." I said firmly and pushed the guards hands away from me.
"Call the lawyer to draft the divorce I have had enough of you. I don't want to see your face anymore." Gabriel ordered and the lawyer was called.
Natalia seeing that I was not willing to accept this child and seeing my resolve wiped her tears away as I stared at her in disgust.
"Dad...dad you don't have to go so far I just wanted to accept the child." Natalia tried pleading with her Father but he refused to listen.
"He is just a waste of space and air in this house. He needs to leave this instant and no delay." Gabriel shouted.
" Where is the Lawyer call him now!" Gabriel shouted ignoring Natalia and the lawyer arrived shortly after with the drafted divorce papers.
My backpack was searched and when they saw only my old laptop and wallet and clothes they handed it back to me.
"Sign the divorce papers and don't expect to get anything from me." Gabriel said to me and Natalia pleaded that he stopped.
"Daddy please he is my husband please don't make me divorce him he is my husband." Natalia cried out and I don't know if she was crying real tears or fake tears.
"You don't deserve such a man,you deserve a man of your status,a man that would treat you with respect, don't worry about your child, I will take care of it" He told her.
"Let Natalia sign it first and I will sign it." I said picking up the paper and reading.
It stated that I would get nothing and that was all.
I was fine with that.
Nothing attached to it.
"Sign it Natalia so he would leave this house...you would be the future heiress, you deserve someone better than this lowlife." Gabriel ordered Natalia.
"Dad please no I don't...I don't want a divorce i..I just wanted him to accept his child,that's all I wanted dad not a divorce, daddy please don't make me sign it. " Natalia pleaded with her father who wasn't ready to change his mind.
"Sign the papers Natalia." Gabriel's voice thundered in annoyance at her reluctant attitude.
"Thomas, don't do this to me, think about our marriage,our child." Natalia turned to me, seeing that her plan to threaten me to submission would not work.
As if I haven't had enough of this.
"Sign it and I will be out of your life Natalia ,I don't want to be tied down to you or this family anymore." I told her.
Her parents and older brother Logan persuaded her and in the hot seat she signed it and I signed the divorce papers as well and a sigh of relief left me.
"You all would regret this action today, mark my words today ." I told them.
"You would come back begging." They said as I left out of this damn house and my freedom was gotten back.
I would make Natalia pay for insulting my love for her and her family….They would regret everything they did to me.
Meeting Natalia ruined my name. I would make sure I ruin her life and the name I got for her.

Thomas's pov:I was glad that Mr Gabriel didn't ask the security guards to manhandle and beat me up because I know he has been itching to do that for a while but I guess he just wanted me out of his life and family and wanted no conspiracy if he assaulted me when I was leaving. But I don't trust that Mr. Gabriel would let me go so easily after Natalia had pinned her pregnancy on me.Immediately I left Mr Gabriel's Mansion. The first thing I did was to call a cab to take me far away from here because if I knew Natalia she would go as far as kidnapping me to make me stay close to her. Unless Natalia found someone else like me good in reading the stock market which I highly doubt but with her manipulative ways I was sure she could do it.Making another poor man fall for her deceitful lies and clinging to her for her love and the promise of a better life.She could do anything so I won't be surprised.I wasn't with her for a better life but her love but it didn't matter.

If this was really Kate on the line then my head can't still wrap around why she just made that comment."I guess I was wrong about you." Kate said.Wrong about me?Her words were strange to my ears.Did I do something wrong to her that I didn't know about?For all I know I have been the best brother I could be to her so what's wrong."Is something wrong kate?" I was concerned at her change of tone.She sounded irritated all of a sudden."Yes something is wrong and I'm not sure you like to hear what I am about to say." Kate said."Which is what?" I asked curiously."I thought about it and I can't help you Thomas." Jate dropped the bomb.I chuckled nervously, taking this as a joke.Thought about it?I just called her when did she have time to think about it? Did she just refuse without considering all I just said?"What do you mean you can not help me?" I asked in disbelief."I mean I just can't help you, I can't afford to accommodate you." Kate explained further her tone was ser

I could hear someone calling my name softly and gently but I didn't have the energy to tune into the voice to figure out who it belonged to."Thomas, Thomas, Thomas. " I heard my name faintly again as I turned to the other side of the bed trying to block out whoever was calling my name.Who was that that won't leave me alone?"Thomas! Thomas!" I heard again and this time it was too clear and loud, my eyes fluttered open and I saw Natalia standing by the side of my bed smiling down at me."Rise and shine sweetheart I think you have slept for too long." Natalia greeted me cheerfully but a friend marred my face instantly."Natalia, what are you doing here?" I asked in confusion as I popped myself up by placing one elbow on the bed and facing her direction.I blinked twice as I rubbed my eyes because the sleep was not completely gone from my eyes so I think I was seeing things."I came to take you back home with me,I miss you alot and so does our baby.

The next day I got the job at the convenience shop so for two weeks I worked there just to make ends meet.My co-worker Kelvin who showed me around the convenience store said that the key to getting a satisfied customer is acting as if they were always right even though they were wrong.I don't know how well that works but I won't argue with him over it.Right now he is the boss and I am here to learn.I was taken aback by an incident that happened in the convenience shop when a customer threw the dollar he used to buy a chocolate bar at him and it fell to the floor.My co worker Kelvin picked it up, took the customer's change and placed it on the table, smiled at the customer and told him to come back again and I watched the scene with an amazing smile. The customer scoffed before taking his change and walked out the door.Guess that wasn't the type of reaction the customer was going for."Freaking idiot."

I glared at her when she called herself my wife."I think you seem to be forgetting that we are divorced." I reminded her." That wouldn't have happened if you weren't acting so silly?" She said and I sighed.I looked around the convenience shop, there was no one here but I wanted to be sure."What do you want?" I asked her."I have been looking for you for a while." She said, smiling happily at me but I knew that was more of a mocking smile."I have been sending you text messages from my first day you left till this day but you haven't replied to any of my texts so I decided to come find you myself,some things are best said face to face." Natalia replied as she dropped the purse she was holding on the counter."So you mean that you sent someone to come find out where I was?" I asked."When you refuse to see reason with me, what else could I do?" She asked."I guess you came back to your roots after leaving our house." Natalia commented as she glanced around the convenience stor
Underrated Son-In-Law Chapter 14: He was waiting for my call.
I don't think I had the strength to clean this mess up. Where was I even going to start? Even after leaving Natalia she still wants to frustrate my life. How did she even know that the CCTV camera in our store was not working? She went as far as investigating where I was working. I was tired of being pushed to the wall. I called my boss and explained what happened to him and I put a closed sign in front of our door and waited for his arrival. My boss took about an hour to come back to the store and seeing the state his store was in started yelling and asked why I didn't call the police. But when I opened the cash register and showed him the money and told him what transpired here he shut his mouth as if he understood what happened. It seemed as if he knew already that this would happen but was shouting just to put on a show. My Boss told me he got a call earlier from a lady and muttered something under his breath then told it it was alright and I suspected it was Natalia that

I cleared my throat. He was expecting my call yet he didn't say anything about that the last time we spoke with each other."I am sorry that I didn't call sooner because I was facing circumstances beyond my control." I apologized."Oh there's nothing wrong with that, I was just waiting patiently. I guess that my patient paid off." Oliver replied."How are you?" I asked because I didn't know what to say, I wanted to ask for his help but I couldn't just say that right away without asking about his well-being."Get straight to the point Thomas I hope you didn't call me to have mundane talk ?" He asked impatiently.So much for being a patient man."Oliver, I'm glad that you answered the call, I need your help." I said,going straight to the point as he requested.It just felt weird asking someone I barely know for help out of the blues. " Oh... how do you need my help?" He asked right away."I got divorced. I can't go into the details but Natalia wants to make my life unbearable so it wo
