"What do you mean by that mother? I am your son-in-law. I don't know what Rachel told you."
"She only told me that she has left your useless ass, I have been telling her for years to dump you and find someone better but she kept telling me to give you time. And now you have left the picture and I don't want to see you in my life ever again."
Neil stood shocked when he heard what Alissa had to say. He was not even sure that he could bear the disgust he had in him at the moment.
"What in the world did you say? You knew about all this, what in the world did you tell her? You don't want me in the picture, what do you mean?"
Neil wanted to know what he heard her say, it was not clear why she would even say something like that. "You didn't even try to talk some sense in her, why would you tell your daughter that it is okay to be with another man when she is married? How do you even see your parenting patterns? Doesn't this bother you?"
"The only thing it is doing is making sure that I don't lose my daughter to someone as wretched as you. Come I think even the average man should be able to hold his own but you, you are nothing but pathetic."
Neil was shocked to know that Alissa was part of it all, he didn't know what to say but looked at her in shock. "You mean to tell me that you were in on all of it? How is that possible and why would you even do such a thing to me?"
"Simple, she saw a man with a better quality and went for it. I don't even know why you would think that I would want my daughter to stay with someone as miserable as you. There will have to be something that I would see in you that would make me want to leave her with you but there was nothing you would ever bring into our life but pain and shame."
Alissa was not going to let Neil say anything, Neil didn't feel the urge to talk back to her or even say another word. He knew that the moment he tried to say something there would be more trouble.
"I will take my leave now, have a nice life, Alissa." Neil turned and didn't even think that he would have the chance to look back at her.
"Good riddance, I hope you don't tangle another innocent girl in your trap." Alissa waved her hand not even looking at Justin, he was not going to look back at her.
'You will all pay for this insult, one way or the other!' Neil clenched his fist and walked away, he didn't take his belongings. He left everything behind and left when he got outside he spotted Claire in the car waiting for him.
He didn't say anything but silently walked over to her, she was looking at him trying to know why his face looked like he was angry with the entire world. "You don't look happy, is there anything wrong with you?"
Claire was looking at him waiting for him to tell her what happened or what had transpired between them. "Lord Neil you look mad, madder than you would look, is there anything wrong?"
Neil didn't want to talk but since Claire was not going to leave him alone until he told her something he decided to tell her what had happened.
"You see, I don't even know why she would think that I won't have anything to do in life but fail." Neil was a bit quiet but there was no telling what he was trying to do in his mind.
"I will take you back to the mansion, there is something you need to attend to, your ascension ceremony is close by and you need to think of what you are going to be doing."
Claire started the car as they drove off, Neil looked at his finger to look at the ring there. He was pained to even look at it for a moment, it was heartbreaking that he was getting a divorce. "All these years are in the drain and now I will have to deal with this freaking shame anytime I look around."
"You don't have to deal with it, I know you think that it is going to hurt you but the only thing that this is going to do is hold you down for now. But there is no other thing that it can do." Claire was trying to talk some sense into Justin. She knew that he would not even think of doing anything that would make him smile a bit but there was no telling what he was planning to do.
"I will make sure that they feel pain the way I felt it today and they will also see that there is more to life than just fooling around with people." Neil didn't say any other thing in the ride apart from that and Claire drove him to his mansion where he was going to stay for the time being.
"I would advise you not to do anything that would make you angry for now so please lay low. I know you are mad at them but please don't let your anger cloud your judgement for now." Claire looked at Justin, she was not just his closest ally but also his closest friend.
"I will try Claire, I need to get some rest. I will talk to you tomorrow." Neil smiled as he entered the mansion, he was not even feeling happy to be there but there was no way he would tell Claire that he was still feeling pain.
'I will sleep this off and then face my life from tomorrow. There is nothing that I will let hold me down for now.'
