The Untameable Leon

CHAPTER 3: DIVORCE

"N-No... Y-You can't do this to me, C-Crizelda..." I said with difficulty as I am already tearing up the papers that I am just reading seconds ago.

"Oh, I am sorry but I already did, Leon and those papers are the evidence. We're already divorced and I didn't even need your signature because Miguel's wealth and power alone made everything possible and easy to process," she smirked as she watched me almost go crazy because of what I just read.

"No! I will not agree! We will never be separated! I will tell all this to your parents... to Mommy Charmaine and to Daddy Christian! I am sure that they will help me with this!" And after all my restraint, I finally exploded and for the first time in my entire life, I finally yelled at her.

"Then go ahead. Tell them. Tell them, Leon, and just watch what will happen to them. Miguel can easily bring down my family's business in just a snap so if you really don't care about my parents, you will report all of this to them and after that, watch them suffer," she threatened, smiling confidently now and she even shrugged her shoulders. "But if you really care and love my parents, you will shut your mouth about this and tell them that we just both fell out of love that's why we got a divorce," she added and it seems like it is just an easy thing to do based on her voice.

I could feel my chest rising and falling because I am already out of breath as my heart continues from aching.

I feel so angry right now that my head wants to explode with anger already.

It turns out that not only today will I find out about her cheating on me but also about our divorce... that's why she has always been cold to me these past few days every time I am calling her...

I never really thought or imagined that she could do this to me.

The woman who was so caring and loving to me was now gone as I am staring at her in front of me. And what broke my heart more is that she is staring me back like I do not matter to her anymore... that she never loves me... that I am not her husband...

And because of too much happening right now, I really couldn't take it anymore and my tears started falling again while I was still looking straight into her eyes.

"Why are you doing this to me, Crizelda?" I said weakly. "You promised that you would never hurt me and leave me but what are you doing right now, huh?! We were already happy with the life we ​​have but why do you have to do this?! Why, huh?! Why?!" I exploded again as I could feel the silent tears streaming down my cheeks from my eyes.

"You are the only one who is happy in the status of our lives, Leon! I was just happy at first! You promised that our lives would be abundant but what happened?! You can't even afford to buy our own television! Even the refrigerator and even the cellphone that I want that's why you don't have the right to be angry at me because like what I said earlier, it's all your fault why we ended up like this! If only you were rich and powerful as Miguel, this wouldn't happen to us!" she said angrily as she was already catching her breath.

After she spoke, I quickly moved and turned my back from her to go and pick up the bouquet and cell phone that had fallen on the floor earlier.

"These are my supposed surprises for you because it's our second anniversary today. I also already bought the expensive phone that you have been wanting for so long. Here," I said as my voice broke while I was already handing the bouquet and the expensive phone.

I fully thought that she would accept it but when she just slapped my hand so hard which caused the things that I was holding to fall, I quickly felt sorry for myself, especially when I heard the loud drop of the phone on the floor and I am sure that it was already broken.

"I don't need those anymore, especially that cellphone because Miguel has already bought one for me!"

This is the first time I feel numb like this as I am accepting the hurtful words that are coming out of my wife's mouth.

"Make that bastard home now and make sure that he will never show himself again to us. I will forget all this happened. I will work even harder to buy everything you want. I will also add new jobs to earn more money. I will come home every day just to provide for all your needs no matter how far my workplace is. I will do everything so just you won't leave me, Crizelda, so please..." I said pleadingly, hoping that she would agree with me because I don't know how I can still live in this world if I lose her completely.

"You're so funny, Leon! Why just now when everything is too late already?!" she laughed at me. "No matter what you do or say, all my decisions will not be changed."

"I know that you still love me, Crizelda, and you are just getting carried away by that bastard's wealth and power that's why I'm still willing to accept you and forget everything that happened just to take that bastard away from our life."

Yes, she still loves me... I know that...

"Sorry to break your happiness but I do not love you anymore, Leon. Miguel is always there by my side when you're not here and you are working, and then unexpectedly, I just fall in love with him. He was the one who fulfilled all your shortcomings in me and I'm proud to say that I love him and I want to spend the rest of my life with him that's why, Leon, you should accept everything now so that we will all not suffer," she said sternly as if that thing is very easy to do.

I quickly shook my head right after she spoke.

"No, Crizelda. I do not believe you. I know you still love me," I said firmly while I was slowly getting closer to her. "Come with me now and I promise you this time that we will finally have an abundant life just trust me. Please, baby..." I said pleadingly again as I reached her hand but before I could finally touch her, Miguel the bastard immediately pulled her with him and hid her from his back which made my anger intensify.

"Stop touching my wife you bastard! Get the fuck out of my house now before I could do something to you!"

"Ex-wife, man. Ex-wife. She's already your ex-wife. Don't force her if she doesn't want or love you anymore. Just respect what she wants. Do not be rude," he said seriously while he was fully naked in front of me.

I quickly laughed sarcastically at him right after he spoke.

"What did you say? Respect? Coming from you? Coming from the man who made an affair with a married woman? Just wow!" I said amazingly while I refrained from punching him.

"It's not my fault if I was the one who was able to provide for your wife's needs and not you. It's not also my fault that I'm more than better, richer, and more powerful than you. I can't blame your wife for cheating on you because if I were in her situation, I would cheat too, especially since I only married a construction worker who is not even a college graduate," he added, which made me finally decide to punch him.

"Fuck you!" I shouted as I walked closer to him and before he could get away from me, my fist quickly hit him right in his face and because I punched him so hard, he is now lying on the floor, coughing.

"Damn you, Leon!" Crizelda went to him quickly after she said that and I could clearly see from where I was standing that his nose was already bleeding which made me thirsty on punching him again.

I was about to punch him again when just suddenly, someone opened the door that immediately made me look in that direction and from there, I saw a number of armed men who I know are the bodyguards of the bastard Miguel.

They didn't waste a few seconds because I just suddenly felt that there were already two men holding my hands on both sides so tight, not letting me escape from their hold.

"Let me go! I will kill that fucking bastard!" I shouted as I was trying so hard to escape from their hold but because they are more muscular than me, I did not succeed.

While I was still struggling from the men's hold, I could clearly see Miguel standing up slowly from the floor as Crizelda guided him.

He wiped away the blood first from his nose before he smirked and walked towards me, not minding that he was still fully naked and everyone in the room could freely see his whole body.

I stopped struggling and watched Miguel approach me.

Like me, he also has an angry expression right now.

When he finally got close to me, he quickly punched me in my stomach which made me moan because of the pain.

He was not satisfied yet and he just continued to punch me one after the other which made me lose count.

I just suddenly felt the cold thing pressing against my head as I was already vomiting blood and when I opened my eyes, I saw that it was a gun that Miguel was holding.

In other situations, I am sure that I would be nervous when something like this happens, but right now, I feel like I'm already ready for what's going to happen.

I can feel that I want Miguel to already shoot that gun to my head to finally end my life because my beloved wife is no longer with me and no longer loves me.

"How dare you fight me, you worthless man!" Miguel said furiously as he pressed the gun even more on my head.

"Stop it, Miguel! I don't want your hands to be stained with the blood of that stupid and useless man! Let's go now and leave him here!" Crizelda said angrily as she pulled Miguel away from me.

Miguel gave me a bad look first before he put down the gun and left the room while his bodyguards were still holding me tightly.

"C-Crizelda... b-baby..." I said with difficulty when I saw her watching me.

I thought that she would help me but I was wrong. The pain in my body that I am feeling right now was just nothing compared to the pain made by her final words before she finally walked away from me and went with her another man.

"Even if you will have ten jobs, my decision will not change. Remember these things that I'm going to say to you, Leon. No matter what you do, you will remain a worthless person and no woman will ever like you anymore because you are poor. I hope you will now stop your craziness and let Miguel and I live in peace and if possible, I hope you can die already so that we will never see you again. Know that I am so grateful that we are already divorced and I have never been this happy my whole life."

And those are the words she left me before finally leaving me and while Miguel's bodyguards were already beating me, I didn't fight anymore because I was already ready to die and disappear from this world.

If the multiverse really exists, I hope that Crizelda and I will fall in love with each other again and never be separated again.
