10 days or Divorce

“Berta, sit right where I left you,” Emerald yelled, shooting a dreadful glare at the five-year-old who just pouts and starts bawling. This was the least Emerald wanted.She really didn’t mean to shout or yell at Roberta, but how could she explain to the five-year-old that her dad wasn’t the goody goody she saw him as and him setting his eyes on them could ruin a long brooded plan. She turned back, staring at Roberta’s watery blue eyes. She pressed her lips together, urging Roberta to keep shut and after a series of whispering “Mummy is sorry, princess Berta” Roberta finally adhered and stops bawling. Emerald sighed, turning to face Robert, who just stared blankly at his sister with disgust. He hated seeing her snorting and stressing his mom.And at times like this, Emerald can’t help but get really proud of Robert for always being the cool headed one and more understanding.Her hands were still trembling as she ducked her head down, watching from the center mirror as Gerald procee

“tell me where my kids are and come with me I’ll deal with this when we get home” Gerald pointed out pulling her hands towards the poolside outside the main hall of the new opening hotel, he was aiming to pull her towards his car when Emerald yanked her hands away from his grip. He stared at her wide eyed, not believing she had actually glared at him and also yanked her hands away from his grip. “How dare you” his bold masculine voice echoed into her sensitive ears and without giving it a second thought, she raised her voice at him. “I want a divorce!”Gerald looked taken aback by her sudden outburst.

Emerald shifted her gaze from the ground, fixating it on him. “Gerald Latino, I want a divorce” “You cheating.. lying bastard. What’s giving you the impetus to talk back to me, huh? W

Gerald drove back home. He slammed the door of his. Car after getting down, he walked into the. Mansion, he stared blankly at the interior for an a. while. Everything felt and seemed empty.He was about walking up the third stairs to his room but paused when he got to Emerald’s room, a room they shared for only one night; he pushed the door open. Walking inside it, he could still perceive her sweet fruity. scent, his eyes roamed around for a while before it landed on the cracked frame lying on the floor.Gerald bent down picking up he hesitated before frame he stared at the wedding picture on that day he had been forced into marrying her by his grandmother, he hated commitment and he had only met her in a clubhouse just at the time he ventured out to get any woman pregnant so as to have a descendant to continue the Latino family legacy like Francesca had asked him to do.He blinked twice staring at the cracked picture, this was why he hated commitment one minute they are with there an

Emerald slumped back in her sit trying to control her shaking hands and her breathing, Jeremy walked up to her reaching out with a soothing touch on her back. “ Gerald is no joke, he doesn’t make empty threats he’ll take the kids I’m sure of it” Emerald said trying hard not to stutter.Jeremy clenched his fist pulling out his phone to call the freaking lawyer, Emerald watched him as he paced around speaking to the lawyer for a while before he dropped the call. “ Everything will be fine trust me” Jeremy said coming closer as she forced out a weak convincing smile.Emerald tried getting up but she slumped back to the chair and that’s when Jeremy knew everything was really not fine with her. “ Should we head to the doctor? Are you alright?” Jeremy asked looking obviously agitated and concerned but she shrugged him off getting up with the aid of the table and grabbing her purse. “ I need to get to my children school what if he shows up there and take them away from
