Mercedes left the house in tears. She immediately called her best friend to come and pick her up..
Twenty minutes later, A car halted in front of the house. She looked to see Laura alighting from the car. Her long black hair moved swiftly as she hurried towards her.
The astonished look that greeted Laura wasn't a new thing anymore, When she got closer to see that Mercedes was looking pale, she felt so.sorry for her but that didn't stop her from reprimanding her.
"you are still young and beautiful Mercedes!. You should divorce the asshole if he feels that his first love is better than you. "
"Is it that easy to divorce someone you love with all you've got? Is that what you think Laura?. By the way you look good, I wish I had finished my education, I would atleast be a working class like you. "
"Thanks. But that man is a narcissist! I told you that nothing would come out of living with a narcissist. Look what he did! He went ahead to marry another woman and even went on a honeymoon without you the wife knowing?"
Mercedes sighed realizing how stupid she had being.
"Laura, do you think this is because I couldn't conceive? He made mention of it" Mercedes asked innocently. I really don't know what went wrong with my womb but I never had an abortion before. I should have gotten pregnant even before I had the cancer".
"Baby or no baby!, Pregnancy or no Cancer , you deserve a better man than Trevor. Since your marriage is as good as over let's go get you a new man? A man that loves you won't stop loving you because of silly things like this"
"What do you mean? I don't want to move on just yet"
"Look, he clearly doesn't even need to move on, and you shouldn't be hoping to get back with that asshole, I will personally object to it!" Laura said as she dragged Mercedes to her car and drove off.
Few minutes past, they stopped at a shopping mall.
"The dress code is black. It's a billionaire's party. Even if you don't find a new husband, you'd find a sugar daddy that would take care of your bills" Laura said ..
"What?! What do you think of me Laura? I can't, please I am a married...."
"...Woman? Look at yourself and tell me. Do you look married ? Mercedes I will ask you for the last time. Do you want to get back at your now ex husband?"
"We haven't even divorced yet"
"Stop being delusional! Trevor has never loved you. It's because you catch on things slowly that you got yourself played for two freaking years!" Laura couldn't hold her anger anymore, she bursted out in fury.
Mercedes eyes furrowed, tears clouded her vision as she remembered her husband saying the same thing to her. 'I am no doubt slow witted like you all think"
" I didn't mean it that way Mercedes. " Laura apologized.
"Let's do this then!. I am going to live today as if I was never married!"
"That's my girl! That's the spirit girl. Well I am not forcing you though" Laura cheered. She took Mercedes inside the mall and got her dressed in a long black gown which had a really long slit.
Next they went to Lucy's beauty shop. After the long exchange of greetings she ushered Mercedes to a seat.
"Will you like your hair to be strengthened or..." Lucy asked with concern. But Mercedes ignored her.
"It's not like I am getting married to my first love or going on a date with my crush Why should I be excited or decorate myself a lot?" She took a seat and chuckled as her pretty face reflected in the mirror.
"Trust me then. I will fix your broken heart starting from your hair. ," Lucy said and gelled her hair in a side braid. She further decorated beautifully.
"Make sure to hide the dark circles under her eyes Lucy" Laura added.
"Ah I see. She must have cried a lot!. Men don't deserve those expensive liquid! " She replied while obeying Laura's instructions
The black long dress seems too beautiful on her light tan skin. Of course, it was going to attract lots of attention. When the makeup was done, Mercedes opened her eyes and gasped at her new look!
"Gosh! No man would see my best friend now and would not look back" Laura smiled at her
" I see you like it" lucy smiled back. Mercedes didn't notice that she have been smiling at her reflection in the mirror but Lucy saw her quick enough.
Back in Trevor's mansion, Sonia was busy pacing around the house.
"What if that crazy girl tries something funny?"
"Then I will kill her with my own hands. She's gone now, lets focus on us" Trevor said wrapping himself around Sonia from behind.
Sonia smiled " I love you alot Trevor. I don't and would never regret the decision I made in choosing you as my husband. when are you giving me a befitting position at the company? ".
"As soon as the next shareholders meeting. I am going to start making the move to place you in the position of a director?"
Sonia smiled as she embraced Trevor tightly.
