The case of Christiana Fordham, Ethan Fordham's mom, didn't help out,she didn't like Melanie to begin with,"didn't like" is a litotes ,a better word like,despise,yes she despise that God forsaken woman, reasons best known to her.
"Look at me, thinking about enchanting you with a voodoo doll in order to stop loving that woman" Christiana Fordham said while furrowing her brows at the word 'love'..
"But you were able to get out of it,all by yourself,this is the son I recognize, Ethan dear,why don't you file a divorce?make her leave in a way,how would your children grow around her?! That's certainly not good" Christiana continued,her voice sounding like a strict instructor's voice,she had a knack for white and black things,her hair made in a neat bun,with 2 accessories or less on it,on her left wrist is a wristwatch,black dress and white heels,the accessories on her hair was a white hat? Should we call it that,with a black stone on it,quite the sight,she dressed richly but like in the 90's kind of dress code.
"Do you think I haven't done that mother?,she refused to sign them, hanging on to me like a leech"
Ethan finally voiced out.
A tiny voice that seems shy spoke.
Ethan, let's get married,I feel insecure,what if she throws me out, she's still Mrs Fordham, I'm....I'm..I'm just a pathetic mistress (looking worried, distressed and her eyes, glassy) it's natural for me to feel insecure,what if she tries hurting my twins,our twins,the babies she never gave you " that was Tiana..
Ethan massaged his brows and then voiced out that he would do something about it.
That same night
Mel was crying quietly
"Where did I fucking go wrong?,you cheated,fine!,but why bring her to our home?why??"
Ethan sighed in irritation, loudly and angrily"shut it!! Just shut the fuck up,did you give me a child??even a dead one??"
"It's just two years.."she tried fighting back
"Face it, you're barren!!"Ethan retorted
"Stop saying such a thing, I'm not barren,stop it!!" She closed her ears, crying hysterically
"Let's get a divorce!" He deadpanned,a wave of shock rushed through her body,when she first saw those papers,it felt like some sort of joke or mistake,but hearing it directly from Ethan, goosebumps appeared all over her body, making the hair on her body stand. 'it's a joke,I didn't hear him right,right?'
"Ethan,no!!!,you can't... You can't do this to me..." Her voice continued to break, choking in tears
"Mel, can't you see, nobody wants you here,your sight is ugly and disgusting" saying his piece,he left, slamming the door.
'i'm not leaving, you're my live,if you go,how would I live?!!'
Being stubborn she stayed,not agreeing to sign any divorce papers of any kind,she hardly sees him anymore,she wasn't even allowed to sleep in their bedroom with an excuse of 'what if she irritates or try to seduce him?'
Pathetic excuse!!!..
Melanie archer,a chief executive officer herself,if there's any word higher than intelligent, that's what she is,she is really filthy rich on her own and own half the fucking mansion in which they lived in...
She felt her life was perfect,a loving husband,wealth,peace, happiness,now, it's all gone,well not everything..
Ethan had brown hair,jade like skin,his handsomeness was out of this world.This was why the famous strip dancer Tiana went for him. Tiana jelka,used to be a strip dancer in a club for A-listers,She would dance and sway her hips, seduce rich men,make them get on her bed. But this certain person would come for business deals and wouldn't even pay her glance.
"What's his name?" Tiana asked a pink haired girl
The girl whispered into her ears "Ethan Fordham,a business tycoon,his company is in the top chart as well"
"Well well,my pretty target"Tiana smiled.
Warning, offensive words***
This was how things worked,either Ethan would"bump" into Tiana or she's stuck under the rain awaiting taxi and he would happen to see her or maybe "thugs"would be after her life and he has to save a damsel in distress. He would happen to meet her Everytime.
Then it happened,they fucked each other,and Tiana happened to have gotten pregnant, birthing twins, hate to admit,but they were cute. Melanie tried to accept all of this things that turned her life upsidedown...
Her mother-in-law nor Tiana made things easier for her,they kept on finding ways to make her life miserable,even the gossips going around the cities made things worse.
Melanie archer,a lady of confidence, became shallow,she lost all her confidence, for a moment,she began to believe and say to herself that she's barren,she started to wonder what she had done in her past life that's haunting her back in the present... Now people dared to call Tiana, Mrs Fordham, even though Melanie hasn't divorce Ethan and Tiana and Ethan hasn't gotten married to each other yet.
Melanie sat in the living room,all this wealth,luxury,it didn't matter anymore,she tilt her her head to the faint stomping of feet,and saw toddler Tony, trying to enter the living room,the baby walked wobbly, getting to Mel's side while tugging her dress "Mama, mama" he called out
''I'm not your mama, I'm a big bad lady,look(she made a scary face) don't I scare you?" Mel said
Tony was far from scared "mama,up! Up!" Tony persisted lifting his hands up...
Melanie paused for a while and then carried him and patted him,Tony looked like he was fascinated by her hair,and rolled a strand of her hair around his little finger,the smile she gave him and the way she patted him,he held on to her tighter,the nanny gasped seeing Melanie with Tony and she tried to snatch him out of Melanie's hands,Tony didn't budge and started crying,they had to involve Tiana
"Tony... Come to mama"Tiana tried taking him,but Tony was too stubborn,he held on to Melanie .
Melanie tried to let him go not to make the situation awkward but it didn't work,Tiana was getting frustrated
"What did you do to him you witch" Tiana deadpanned
"I did nothing, maybe you should try be a good mother, look after your baby,so they can fucking recognize you"Melanie retorted. If Tiana was mad before,now she was extremely furious..
"Ethan!!!!" Tiana's voice rang through the whole mansion, Melanie rolled her eyes,Ethan came,he had one personality that Mel loved about him also,he was very good with kids,Tony finally let Mel go.
"Let's get you lollipop" Ethan said to Tony
Tony bade his goodbye to Melanie.
I guess lollipop did the trick.
Ethan handed the baby along with some cash over to the nanny for his lollipop and headed to the balcony.
Melanie used this chance to approach him again,she just don't know when to give up,she doesn't even believe whatever is happening is real.
"Ethan" she started in a low voice, Ethan sighed
"Not now Mel" he retorted
"I.."Mel continued but was cut short by him
"Are you not tired of bugging me, don't you know when to stop, can't you leave me alone!!, nobody wants you here or are you pretending not to know?"he deadpanned
"I haven't even..." She tried speaking
"What!!!! What Melanie!!!"he was pissed off
"Even finished what I have to say, Ethan, can't we put our differences aside and talk things out? Cause,none of this makes sense,I don't understand how things escalated,you didn't even give me an explanation of what I did or..... Melanie retorted
"I have given my reasons, whatever you want to hear or have to say, tell it to your mother!!"he said
A silence followed by,That was it!!!
Melanie slapped him across the face,the slap was soft though,but she thought she had hit him well,it must have stung bad,at least she hoped.
"I have never seen anyone so weak and pathetic like you" Ethan said and shoved her aside roughly,he continued in the distance"how can someone be so weak and stupid,such a pretender,ugh, disgusting!"
