The man behind laughed. " A nobody like him doesn't deserve a beauty like Ella. He should know his place. Ella is better off in my care," he said and walked over to Ella.

He brought out his napkin which he used to wipe the tip of her eyes gently. " Someone like him doesn't deserve you. Accept me and I'll take care of you in unimaginable ways." The man smiled as Ella looked up to him.

Mrs Flora laughed.

" I wonder why you keep delaying the divorce with Allen. Just present him with the papers and be done with him or Don't tell me you are already head over heels with that loser?" Mrs Flora said angrily and Allen's ears straightened.

What?

Ella had been planning a divorce all this while.

He doesn't want to believe his ears and stared at her.

The stare he received from her proved all his fears right.

" Impossible! She won't accept him, right? " He said to himself, denying himself the truth.

Mrs Flora laughed once again and pointed to the young man.

" Sir Rodney here is the manager of Great Heights clothing store, one of the biggest clothing stores in Canada. His family is rated among the second class families, bringing more prestige to our family. Tell me! Isn't he not much better than your dense husband here? "

As she finished saying that, The man brought his hand up and cupped Ella's cheeks softly, staring into her face with lustful eyes.

Allen felt anger burn through him at the sight.

What kind of nonsense was going on before his eyes?

Regardless of his status, she was still his wife.

He has no right to touch her inappropriately.

And more so, he felt a fresh wave of anger.

How could she be thinking of leaving him for a mere manager?

He was poor but at least he thought their love supersedes everything.

He studied her face and could see her debating.

Fear gripped him instantly.

Is she really considering this arrogant man?!

Before he could complete his thoughts, she did the undeniable and brought out a paper from her designer purse.

She slammed it on the table and shot her eyes right into his.

" Let's divorce. Allen. " She said, with no warmth in her face.

Allen was taken aback.

He could hear his heart pumping hard in his chest.

" W-What do you mean, babe,?" He has not even completed his words when she pointed an accusing finger at him with angry eyes.

" If you dare call me babe again, I'll deal with you myself! Just sign the divorce papers and leave my house before we arrive tomorrow morning." Her face was very pale.

" A-are you really doing this.... Babe—"

He had not completed when a slap landed on his cheek

" I warned you!" She roared.

He held his cheek in shock as he stared at her

Mrs Flora was laughing in the background.

The man was also doing the same.

Allen looked down at the divorce papers before him and his tears dropped on it.

He felt like dying.

How will he survive without her?

He had no one to go to or any known relatives.

He had stayed in the orphanage all his life and had sworn to himself never to return there.

He instantly went on his kness before her.

" Please, Ella" He wiped his tears and looked up at her face. " I'm sorry, I know you must be really angry for you to say this, please forgive me! I promise to be more respectful from now on." He cried, holding her leg

" I'll cook more, I'll massage your legs every night, I'll do whatever you want of me. please, revoke your decision. I'm nothing without you. I love you," he pleaded, rubbing his hand together, begging.

Ella pushed him away.

" Get away from here! Do you expect me to grow old in poverty?! Do you even think you even have the right to fall for a lady like me?! Aren't you scared! Just sign the divorce papers and leave immediately tomorrow morning!" She let out a mocking laugh.

Rodney walked to her and took his hand to her waist.

" Shall we go now, time seems to be running. I won't want this rascal to tarnish your mood for any reason." He smiled.

Allen was irritated by the touch.

He angrily stood up.

" Get your hands off her," He came forward, then landed his fists hard on Rodney’s face.

PUNCH!

And with that, a pool of blood dripped down Rodney’s nose.

Seeing the blood on his nose.

Rodney was infuriated.

" Ha! " Ella screamed before she could stop herself.

Before Allen could say a word, the man punched him heavily on the face.

BAM!

" How dare you lay your filty hands on me?!!! Have you gone insane! Do you know who I am!!!" Rodney was enraged.

" How dare you hit me?! What audacity!!! ” Rodney roared and pushed Allen to the floor.

Within seconds, he was raining punches on Allen.

Rodney was bigger and more muscular than Allen. Thus, making him overpower Allen easily.

" Please stop!!!" Ella screamed, making Rodney stop and look her way.

To Allen's surprise, Ella ran to the man side and held his arms, calming him down.

"Please, forgive him. Please.... " She begged.

" Tsk! He's lucky. I'll spare him tonight for your sake." Rodney muttered, then brought out his napkin to clean his bleeding nose.

Ella examined his nose.

" Should we go to the hospital?"

" Nah! I'm fine. We have a dinner party to attend, remember?" He smiled and pecked her cheek.

" Call the police on him! He deserves to be locked up!" Mrs Flora who looked as if she just witnessed a ghost scene finally said.

Allen sat on the floor, feeling pain and anger at the same time.

He had lost her.

There's no need to fight for her anymore.

Ella turned to her mom

" Just let him go, let him take his bad luck elsewhere "

" When next we cross paths. I won't let you off easily" Rodney spat on Allen who sat immobile on the floor.

With that, they all left the room.

Ella stopped to examine him.

" Rodney is times a hundred better than you and yet you had the courage to hit him. You're lucky you're not sleeping in some cell by now! Anyways, by the time I return tomorrow morning, I hope you would have done your part and sign those papers. I won't take it lightly if I return and meet you in this apartment." Ella glared before exiting the room.
