Chapter 2: The divorce papers

Mariah arrived home and found out her luggage were outside, her two maids were equally outside in tears, she asked what was going on and they told her they had been driven away from the house by Jane. Mariah been outside tried entering the house but she was denied access by one of her guards. "You won't let me enter into my house?"

"I'm sorry madame the others came from Mr. Neil who called this morning, informing us that you were no longer welcomed in his house,"

"What! Why would my husband portray such litigations, are you sure it's my husband who asked you to do that? Mariah asked. She knew Jane was well capable of that and more but her husband, she never even thought of that.

Jane was at the back door and heard the conversation between the guard and Mariah, she stepped out looking Mariah straight into her eyes, for some time she said nothing but soon she break down her silence and said a few words before getting back to the living room, "I heard you saying you have a house, for your information, this is my late husband's house, Neil has just been his inherent took over the house but I'm more privileged than you okay and secondly you do not believe Neil could do this to you, so you thought after prostituting yourself, you were gonna end with a reputable man like my son? When you are done nagging make sure you collect your luggage out of here,"

"Mrs. Jane with all your respects, I won't have you call me names, I guess have tolerated you enough," Mariah said out of anger. On normal days, Mariah never talked back at Jane but out of anger she had to vomit out all what she had been keeping up. As they were exchanging words Khloe stepped out of the house wearing Neil's pajamas, "what are you doing here, and why are you wearing my husband's pajamas?" Mariah asked as she was surprised.

"Sis, I'll be the one replacing you as from today, the pajamas are quite beautiful, you made a great choice," Khloe said while smiling.

"Remove that now! I'm not your sister and never will I be,"

Jane was fed up and asked her guards to throw her out of the house, she was pushed out of the house alongside her maids. "I'm sorry madane I really didn't want to do this, but it was either I did it or I was going to lose my job," the guard said. Mariah was a very calm lady, she made sure all the guards and maids were comfortable in the house, if their salaries were delayed, she made sure she discussed about it with Neil so they could come on time, she equally offered advanced payment for staff who had problems, compared to Jane who never really had their time, she always talked to them rudely and never minded to check if they were doing fine. Today the people whom Mariah had spent her time in protecting are the same people who did not hesitate to throw her out in the name of orders.

Standing by the street and all disturbed, she called Caitlyn and told her everything but unfortunately, Caitlyn wasn't getting anything as she was in tears. "Please calm down and talk to me," Caitlyn said. Mariah had to stop crying and began all over and Caitlyn asked where she was so she could come pick her up, she told her she wasn't far from the house. "Okay just stay there, I'll come puck you up." Caitlyn got out of the house in a hearse to go pick her friend up, she knew if she overstayed she might harm herself. She arrived where Mariah was and found her crying on the floor, she helped her with her luggage and asked them to get to her house, she opened the back of her car and placed Mariah's belonging inside and they entered the car and left for Caitlyn's house. Once in her house, she noticed Mariah was weak so she prepared a drink for her, while she went freshening up. Caitlyn came back down and found Mariah in tears. "Hey girl I know it's not easy but you don't have to let this consume you, please I care about you and will love it if you could move on with your life," Caitlyn said while consoling her.

"You don't know what it means Caitlyn, I dedicated five years of my life to this man who just threw me out of his life without thinking about my feelings and he moved on with my half-sister, one of the least people I'll want to see now,"

"I know it's painful but you shouldn't let that tie you down, you are a courageous woman and I know soon all this will be in the past,"

"I don't think I can forget this, I still love my husband," Mariah cried out.

A knock was heard from Caitlyn's door as they were discussing, "who's that." she said as she wasn't expecting a guest. She moved to the door and opened it. "Hello i'm Comry Mr. Neil's lawyer, I was told I could meet miss Mariah here,"

"And what do you want from her?"

"Can I please have a word with her?" Comry asked. Caitlyn could not refuse him from seeing Marley so she gave him access, he walked in and met Mariah seating on the floor and asked if they could have a word. Mariah recognized him and asked him to say whatever he had to. "Once more good day, I was sent by Mr. Neil, who ordered me to let you know he'll be demanding for a divorce, here with me I have the divorced papers, he signed already and you are left can you please sign the papers?" Comry asked looking straight into her eyes.

"Are you serious when you want me to sign those papers? You better get to your boss and tell him I'm not going to sign the papers and if he thinks he can get rid of me, he should be joking." Mariah said out of anger.
