💎Chapter 9💍
**********************
(((( One week later ))))
I walked into my office shutting the door behind me. I got to my seat and collapsed into it, pressing my fingers on the side of my head that was aching me.
Everything that went on this last week is enough to give me a long term headache...
This time last week, I was dancing at my wedding reception.
I chuckled bitterly.
Well.... I have to say this, I learnt my lesson... in a very hard way!

Since that Saturday night, I did not set my eyes on Danielle or Martins. Not like I don't want to see them... but not yet.
I just wanna focus on my self for now.
I have my parents to worry about.
My dad and mum.
Mum was discharged day before yesterday, she's fine now. The accident wasn't bad at all, she only sustained injury on her left elbow and the wound is healing.
I was discharged the following day, that is Sunday.
As much as I hate how my wedding night turned out to be and I never pray for such again, I learnt alot... and I'm changed now.
I'm better...
Our family is better...

But then I'm concerned about what dad confessed to me four days ago.
Dad has a family outside. A son and daughter much younger than I.
How's mum going to take this news now that she's submissive...?
I usually do wonder how dad was coping all these years. No attention from mum....
I wonder if mum even let him have his right.
In a nutshell, I'll say I caused it, we both caused it... mum and I!
We were the worst family.
And now that we're coming together, I believe we're going to overcome this together.
My personal life, I love Martins but I'll get over him. I'm still young and I believe this is a challenge, a problem I caused with my hands.
I swivelled my chair and grabbed a file from my table.
I'm a nurse but I took permission and begged my dad to let me do office work for a while, just to distract me.... and it's really working.
My eyes caught the brown envelope that has been laying on my table for days and my heart skipped.
Cause I know what it is.... a divorce paper from Martins.
He sent that here on Monday but I haven't had the courage to sign it.
But.... I think I'm gonna do that now...
Dad ecouraged me to.
I'm still young and have a long ahead. I'm just twenty two.
Since I was able to scale through this tedious week, the questionings, the curious looks, social media rubbish.... I should be able to pass over this too.
Martins didn't say a word to the public and I'm grateful to that. I didn't either, even my parents too.....

I picked up the envelope, my heart beating fast, my fingers weak.
I opened the brown envelope, brought out the white paper and sighed. Tears dropped from my eyes but I cleaned it immediately.
Why am I crying?
I shouldn't...
I need to be strong, for tougher days ahead....
For my mum...
If I'm crying because of something like this...
what should mum do if she hears her husband has another family...?
Well, she should be strong... cause she's the architect of everything.
I kept the paper back in the brown envelope.
I'm going to send this to him this evening....
"I love you Martins... but here we going. If divorcing me will make you happy... then no problem, I wish you someone better than I"

~ Martins ~
I sat in my study perplexed, as I kept picking and dropping the envelope.
Hannah sending this to me means she has sighed it.... I should be happy but I can't just understand my feelings.
I'm confused....
The door opened and I looked up to see Danielle entering my study.
Danielle in my house?
And how the hell did this girl get here...?
She walked towards me and I got up immediately.
'who knows why she's here....'
"What are you doing here and why didn't you let me meet you at the sitting room?" I asked harshly.

She ignored, got to my front and immediately picked up the brown envelope.
"Drop that this minute Danielle" I commanded.
I didn't want to move close to her cause I don't know her plan.....
She began opening it and I frowned angrily.
She brought out the paper and I crossed my arms, watching her intently.
She looked at me with a frown after looking at it.
"Do you still want to go on with this?"
I scoffed.
"Non of your business so get lost!"
She shrugged and before I could say jack... the paper was in shreds. Danielle tore it into pieces.
Wtf!
"Why did you do that?"
I was surprised my voice didn't come out angrily.
"You don't act when you're still angry..." She said.
"...and who told you I'm angry, I've forgiven her and..."
"No you haven't" she cut in.
I picked my phone and began walking towards the door but her voice stopped me.
"I'm leaving Lagos" she said.
I turned back and looked at her, my face expressionless.

"That's what I came to tell you.... I'm gonna miss you guys and please don't divorce Hannah" she pleaded.
I just stared at her.
Honestly I'm just forming this stubbornness, I too don't wanna divorce Hannah, we've all forgiven each other...
"alrigh, I'll think about it" I said to her dramatically and chuckled to myself.
She smiled and I raised my brows.
"Why that smile...?"
"You're getting old" she said.
It made me laugh.
"You can never know I'm thirty four until I tell you"
'just as Hannah kinda look older than her age, I look far younger than my age'
"Well I know already"
I shrugged and she began walking towards me.
She walked past me and stopped at the door.
"I could have given you a hug but I don't want to steal Hannah's hug, good bye"
I smiled and she walked out.
"Good bye" I said lowly. More like talking to myself.
I looked at the shredded paper on the floor and...
Hannah, I need to see her this evening.
A surprise visit...?
I think I'm good to go with that.
