Mitchell is at his parents' house to discuss the turmoil in his household with Sarah. Actually, it does not need to be discussed. Because, his parents had seen the news that spread in the world of social media to make their family's reputation tarnished
Likewise, the good relationship between the Smith Lloyd family and Sarah's family is strained due to the problems that befell their two children. Disappointed, that's the right thing to describe the feelings of Mitchell's parents towards their current besan who is considered unable to maintain the honor of their daughter who is the son-in-law of the Smith Lloyd family.
"Are you sure about this big decision, Mitch? Think again. As parents, we just want to see you happy."
Mitchell was silent when he heard his father's words when he expressed his desire to separate from Sarah. He knew they just didn't want to make him sad, but his son-in-law's actions had disappointed them and embarrassed Mitchell's extended family.
"My decision has been made. I will divorce Sarah. I hope mom and dad don't get in the way of this. I have given enough patience to Sarah. For this time, let me decide my own path."
They all fell silent again. Everyone already knows, Mitchell's forced marriage will not have a happy ending. However, the parents never thought that, for the sake of marrying their son, Sarah would be able to commit such a big lie.
"We're not going to get in my way, Mitch. What's more, Sarah's actions have disappointed not only our family, but Sarah's own parents as well. But what about Thalia? What are you going to do with your daughter when you find out she's not your flesh and blood?"
"I will not relinquish my responsibilities towards the child. After all, she is still my daughter, even though she is not my biological child. In the meantime, I will let her live with Sarah's parents, and I will focus on taking care of our divorce."
Mitchell immediately left his parents' house and chose to return to the private apartment where he had lived before he married Sarah. He deliberately did not return to the house because he would definitely meet Sarah. Even though she was sure, Sarah would definitely come to the apartment and try to convince herself later.
"Apparently, soaking in the bathtub is what I have to do right now to calm my mind."
Mitchell took off all his clothes and left only his underwear. Looks like an athletic body that adds to the handsomeness of a Mitchell. Moreover, with what is hidden under her underwear, it makes women scream with pleasure.
Mitchell could have vented his disappointment by looking for fun with the women out there. However, he didn't do that. For Mitchell, loyalty is above all else. If he has been disappointed, he will never forgive the person who has let him down.
So is the case with the problems that are entangling him and Sarah. At first, he chose to stay because he thought about Thalia's future as his biological daughter.
However, when Mitchell finds out that Sarah has not only betrayed the sanctity of a marriage with her infidelity, he also has to accept the fact that Thalia is not his biological child.
Meanwhile, he has sacrificed to save the dignity and reputation of Sarah and her family. However, it was precisely this harsh reality that he accepted for his kindness and patience.
In the past, Mitchell thought that Della's departure on their wedding day was the harshest reality he had to accept. However, as it turned out, it was Sarah who disappointed him. In fact, he could no longer tell the difference between disappointment and stupidity.
He regretted having ignored Della's defense of her affair with Javier Mascherano, which she was accused of. However, Mitchell is still curious about the reason for his ex-fiancé's departure.
"I'm a fool. Picking a scum woman and leaving a sparkling diamond like Della.
Mitchell had been in the bathtub long enough for him to fall asleep. However, the silence had to be interrupted by a knock on the door which sounded very harsh to Mitchell's ears.
He chose to get out of the tub and clean his body first and then get dressed. He didn't care about the desperate-sounding female voice calling his name.
After that, he headed for the door to stop the pounding on the door, disturbing the other occupants. Mitchell knew that the woman who did the stupid thing was Sarah, who was soon to be his ex-wife.
"M-mitchell..."
"Can't you be more polite in a public place like this? Do you think this is my private apartment? Stupid!"
Mitchell couldn't hide his annoyance and embarrassment at Sarah's seeming like an uneducated woman. In fact, in the past, Sarah, he knew, was a very elegant and polite woman.
Unlike Della, who doesn't seem to want to look hypocritical in front of her at first. Ah, Mitchell is now starting to compare Sarah and Della, and he suddenly misses his ex-girlfriend.
"I'm sorry. Let me in, Mitch. We need to talk."
"We have nothing more to talk about, Sarah. Go home. You'd better prepare yourself for our big meeting tomorrow."
"What do you mean? Explain to me, don't play riddles like this. I'm still your wife, Mitch. Can't we just act like a married couple like everyone else?"
"I'm sorry. But I can't do that. My lawyer will see your private attorney tomorrow. So you had better go home and get some rest. Good night, Sarah."
"No, Mitch! You have to explain to me first. Don't make me look like a fool!"
"Stupid do you say? It was you who made me look like a fool in front of everyone after the scandal broke. What else are you going to explain to me? Denial? No Sarah, you wouldn't dare do that. Just so you know, I was in the same place." And I saw very clearly how you guys were so shamelessly making out without realizing that one of my colleagues could see your ridiculous behavior, Sarah. Think clearly!"
"Mitchell… I can explain. There's no connection whatsoever between me and Abraham. That's a misunderstanding. Please don't do this to me."
"If you consider the affair a misunderstanding, Then what about Thalia's status? Is that also a misunderstanding? It's very clear that the child is not my flesh and blood, but the result of your relationship with Abraham!"
Mitchell was no longer able to control his emotions. He shouldn't have explained that right now. However, Sarah tested her patience. And Mitchell had to come clean.
"What do you mean, Mitch? What's this? Of course, Thalia is our daughter. She was born of your seed when you raped me when you were drunk. Have you forgotten that? Too much, Mitchell!"
Mitchell's emotions could no longer be contained. In a situation like this, Sarah still kept denying Thalia's status. In fact, unbeknownst to his wife, he had undergone a DNA test on Thalia.
Mitchell quickly walked away from Sarah and returned with a piece of paper from his DNA test. He threw it in Sarah's face and asked her to read it.
Mitchell could clearly see how shocked and frightened Sarah was at that moment. The woman shook her head and looked at him. His eyes were misty, and perhaps, soon there would be a playful cry from the woman.
"No! This isn't true. The lab results are wrong. Thalia is your flesh and blood, Mitch. I swear to God."
Plaque!!
"M-mitchell… you dare to slap me?"
" I could even kill you right now if I wanted to, Sarah. You don't have to play a lot of skits in front of me. I did the test on Thalia on purpose to confirm my suspicions. And it turns out I was right.
There was a look of fear on Sarah's face right now. Maybe Sarah never thought. Mitchell, who is known as a gentle person and never angry, turned out to be much harsher in his words.
"I suspect that Della's departure during our marriage had something to do with you. You did this on purpose to cover up your pregnancy and make me responsible for things that I didn't do."
"Mitchell… Y-you…"
"Go, Sarah. I don't want you to be hurt even more by hearing all this truth. You'd better do some introspection and begin to realize the mistakes you've made so far."
Mitchell pushed Sarah away and immediately closed the apartment door. No longer being heeded by Sarah's screams that kept calling her name. Until finally he asked the security forces to evict Sarah from the apartment.
Mitchell looked relieved after venting his heart out in front of Sarah. There was no remorse in his heart. To be sure, after tonight, their relationship can no longer be maintained. He immediately contacted his lawyer to apply for divorce as soon as possible.
"Are you sure about your decision, Mitchell? Sorry, I didn't mean to discourage or side with anyone. Just wanted to make sure you didn't regret it in the future."
His lawyer's words, of course, made Mitchell want to laugh. However, it did not. He prefers to answer with firmness within himself about the divorce.
"In fact, I've never been so sure in my life. Take care of things. Don't forget, we'll meet at the office tomorrow. There's something I want to talk about before we face Sarah and her lawyer in court."
"Okay. See you tomorrow."
Mitchell immediately hung up and went to the bedroom to rest. He smiled happily because soon he would be free from the problems that made him lose his honor and pride as the head of the family.
"You'll regret it, Sarah."
