Abandoned King Gives No Mercy: Hell Will Burn

When is all fell down

Chapter one; When is all fell down.

Ethan's Pov;

Sally's behavior since the past few weeks has been indifferent, so this was the reason. She has finally succumbed to her mother' s quest to divorce me. I was sitting at the far end of the dining table when Sally's mom tossed some pictures on my face.

They hit me before dropping to the floor, I bent over and picked all up, photos that I never knew existed, my hands raised in mid-air almost handing on Sally's face. Sally's face was bruised with scars from several beatings.

That never happened, I have never raised my hands on Sally before, I loved her so much and she knew that, I looked at Sally I wanted her to say something but she was standing behind her mother, holding her arms and trembling, she couldn't even meet my gaze as if it was too much of a burden.

Mrs Tyler has never liked since the beginning of it all, she wanted her daughter to marry for connections and more money so to continue building the family name but instead her daughter married for love. She couldn't even attend the wedding as she couldn't bear seeing her daughter marry off to a pedigree like me.

Their daughter and mother relationship was destroyed because of me. I went to her mother bearing gifts every time I had the chance to, enduring the insults and abuse that rained down on me but my mother in-law never backed down.

Sally assured me that as long as our love grew stronger day after day that we had nothing to worry about. I believed her since love conquered all but that was only a lie posing as a truth to mislead the poor.

“I knew you have always been a gold digger, you are no good for my daughter” she paused and pulled Sally to the front uncovering her skin as if flaunting stage faked scars to the lawyer “You are nothing but a wretched soul looking for someone to leech on”

Mrs Tyler accused.

“Sally …. Why are you not saying anything?”

I asked. My voice hoarse and dry. I could swear that those scars weren't there yesterday before she left for some urgent appointments in the morning. 

The lawyer nodded and looked at me in disgust, as if he wasn't paid to act the way he did. I looked at the photos again and yet I still couldn't believe that technology has gotten this better.

The lawyer handed me a paper and pen to sign with.

“Miss Sally wants a divorce on the stand of domestic violence and illegal taking of funds for personal usage from my account”

The lawyer said.

“This is absurd, I have never done any of this that I'm being accused of”

“I suggest you sign the document now before this issue escalates and we will be seeing frequently in court so I reckon you it and end the bad blood between the two parties”

“Sally….. are you just going to keep mute?”

“The paper also states that you are not to claim any property that doesn't have your name signed as the owner”

The lawyer said as if hurting my pride wasn't enough.

I wanted to call out to Sally again, she was the woman I once loved, there should be some kind of love still left in her, I wanted her to say something. 

The memories of the promises she made to me came flashing back, she held my hand and swore that she was going to stay by myself but there was, letting go of me when we have already gone this far.

Her mind was already made up, there was nothing I could do or say to change anybody's mind in the room, if I kept going I would be made an even bigger fool. 

I took the pen, I hesitated a bit before signing the divorce paper, looked at Sally then took a deep breath before finally signing the paper. 

“Where do you think you are going young man?”

Mrs Tyler said.

I was headed for the stairs and I didn't think there should be any explanation since it was obvious I was going to pack up my things.

“To get my clothes”

I responded then immediately regretted it.

“ My daughter Sally here, clothed you, sheltered and feed you and the divorce paper stated that you shouldn't leave with any item that doesn't indicate your proof if ownership”

“I should still be able to get my clothes”

“You wear them doesn't mean that you bought them, use the door”

Mrs Tyler said before turning to her daughter. My pride and heart was damaged all in a night, it felt unreal because I never expected this from Sally.

Now it all made sense, for a reason she never wanted to have birth. I pleaded with her to have at least one child but she refused with the excuse that she wasn't ready.

I respected her decisions back then, and now I look back some things that didn't make sense then began to do. I walked out of the door and promised never to come back to Sally no matter how I loved her.

Tears rolled down from my heart as it ached from the heart break. I didn't have no one to go stay with the night. I didn't keep friends because Sally didn't want me associating with people since she was a bit of an introvert.

I walked on to see if I could get a cab, it already late but hopefully I saw one. He just dropped someone off. I got in with no destination in particular but stopping at a bar was all I came up with.

I walked in to the bar my head bowed to the floor, my phone in my head. I didn't want to turn on my phone just yet, because there was one thing I was sure of the news will all of the Internet.

I ordered a glass of tequila and a bottle of whiskey hoping to drown myself with alcohol.
