Chapter 9 - Chapter 9 explanation confusion and suppressed emotions

When Malcolm and the Hilton's reached the netting room they where followed by a group of lawyers half belonged to Malcolm the other to the Hilton's and once they where situated Malcolm whit a cold and menacing voice asked " what's the meaning of this matriarch Hilton" mrs.Hilton not being effected by Malcolm just sipped her tea and explained whit a calm demeanor " well mr.midnight it turns out there was a loop hole that my dear old husband planted in the marriage contract between you and my grandchild Heather" but before she could continue thatch and heather walked in heather noticing Malcolm could only give a sad smile while Malcolm noticing heather gave an indifferent look but inside a whole lot of emotions where raging from anger sadness happiness love anxiety all of his suppressed emotions where raging to get out.

But before anything happen thatch sat down next to his son while heather sat down one seat away from her family " as I was saying my dearly departed husband left a loop hole which annuls heathers and mr.midnights divorce as you see in the marriage contract which my lawyers are passing copy's of you can clearly see in the last page which reads any divorce preceding swill be cancelled when the marriage reaches 5 years and will not be annulled due to divorce" Malcolm read this but was confused he was sure the divorced started 4 months before their anniversary and was also sure heather signed before that " mrs.Hilton the loop hole is null and void since mine and heathers marriage was at the 4 year mark" malcome refuted but there was no panic on mrs.Hilton's face or eyes " you are right but heather didn't hand in the divorce papers till one day after your anniversary and to add to that you have to thank bureaucracy for only noteracing the divorce papers 2 month's ago so it seems mr.Malcolm midnight you are still my son in law and heathers still your lawfully wedded wife" Malcolm and thatch where shocked and seemed that all this is just a giant case of misfortune and bad timing .

Heather who was silente the whole time was shocked and guilty and happy at the same time because it was her stubbornness and procrastination that she is still married to Malcolm but when she looked at Malcolm her heart ached a bit because he showed a painful angry scowl ' what was I happy for it's not like he will ever like me again' and whit that a sad look stayed on her face.

Malcolm thinking everything over and trying to find a way out of this predicament then the words the matriarch of the Hilton family said last came to him "mrs.Hilton what do you mean when you said I won't be able to divorce any Hilton woman" when Malcolm asked this the matriarch have a cold winning grin " well if you read section 4 on page 37 you might thing it's gibberish but in fact it's all jargon which can be summarized as you giving away the right to marry anyone but a Hilton and breach of that will result in a transfer of wealth from the midnight group to the Hilton's bypassing any prenups " when thatch heard that he cursed his old friend who he gave his son to marry his favorite granddaughter just because of a favor he owed the old fool thatch was angry at his friend and himself for not reading the contract.

Malcolm had a different reaction he thought it was quite crafty and smart by old grandpa Dave still he could not refute it as he was reading the contract himself so he decided To go whit the flow and give in to save himself a headache right now "alright me and heather are still married and I'm trapped into marring anyone else besides a Hilton woman what should I do now then "

"Take responsibility"
