" Martin! Martin!! Martin!!! I'm talking to you, what did you mean by you can't hurt her? You can't hurt her but you want to hurt me, right?" Evelyn said angrily after Martin as they walked into the bedroom.
" Evelyn, please calm down," Martin said as he tried to hold her but she pushed him away.
" Don't tell me that! Don't tell me to calm down, Martin; you want to divorce me to be with her?" Evelyn asked, looking furious.
" Evelyn, believe me, I wouldn't be doing this if I had an option," Martin said calmly.
" You have an option, Martin; she can't keep walking in and out of your life," Evelyn said angrily.
" She's here to stay this time, she has promised," Martins said.
" Wow! But you told me you love me, Martin. Have you been lying to me all this while?" Evelyn asked, almost tearing up.
" I never lied to you. I meant it when I said I love you, I love you, Evelyn." Martin said, trying to hold her but she flared up.
" Don't touch me! You love me yet you're about to divorce me to go be with a lady who keeps walking in and out of your life?" Evelyn asked.
" She has promised to stay this time," Martin said.
" Shut the fuck up! Why did you make me fall in love with you when you knew you were going to go back to her?" Evelyn asked in tears.
" I'm sorry, but I can't end things with her; I will be on the losing end, and you know it," Martin said calmly.
" I don't care! I won't sign any divorce papers when you bring them to me." Evelyn said firmly.
" Evelyn, what are you saying? Our initial agreement was to get a divorce after three years of marriage, and I'll pay you off; it's three years already." Martin said angrily.
" Yes, that was the agreement before you made me fall in love; I never wanted this, you assured me that this thing between us is real and it's for eternal. So, what are you saying?" Evelyn yelled.
" Evelyn, why are you being so selfish and inconsiderate? She has threatened to tell my dad the truth, and you know what that means; I'll lose all my inheritance if my father finds out that I've been lying to him all this while." Martin explained.
" Really? So, how do you think he will feel if he finds out we're getting a divorce? Isn't it the same thing?" Evelyn asked.
" No, it isn't the same thing. We'll go with the initial plan: you tell him that you've fallen out of love with me, and I'll pretend to be sad seeing you go. We'll have a heated argument in his presence, I'm sure that we can convince him that you've truly fallen out of love with me." Martin said
" Then, what happens to me?" Evelyn asked tearfully.
" I'll pay you off like we agreed," Martin said.
" Wow! I can't believe I fell in love with a weakling." Evelyn said.
" Don't call me a weakling!" Martin yelled.
" You're a weakling, Martin; you're not just a weakling; you're also a deceiver. You deceived me, you made me believe that you truly love me." Evelyn said.
" Evelyn! My inheritance and reputation are at stake here, what do you expect me to do?"
" I expect you to do what a real man will do," Evelyn said
" Which is?" Martin asked, looking confused.
" Tell your father the truth and we'll be together for life," Evelyn said
Martin laughed and said;
" So you think it's that easy, then? You don't know my father better than I do. He won't spare me; that man is strict, and he detests lies a lot. He will cut me off completely." Martin said.
" He's your father, you're his only son. He won't cut you off if he realises that we're truly in love. He will forgive you." She said softly.
" Evelyn, let's just stick to the initial plan." Martin disagreed.
" Which is? Please remind me again." Evelyn asked, acting like who was lost.
" Divorce you after three years of marriage and I get married to Helen," Martin said.
" Where was she when you needed her the most?" Evelyn asked furiously.
" She wasn't ready for marriage then, but my dad was too persistent, and that made Helen and I conclude paying someone to act as my fiance; we'll get married, and after three years, we will go our separate ways," Martin explained.
" I know the plan from the onset but I never planned to fall in love along the line, I agreed to act as a wife because I needed the money then, you made me fall in love with you and now you want to discard me when you know I have nobody or nowhere to go to?" Evelyn said tearfully.
" I'll pay you off, I'll pay you more than we agreed initially," Martin said.
" Money is not everything!" Evelyn yelled.
" And love is not enough either," Martin said firmly.
" Really? What if I help you tell your dad the whole truth?" Evelyn said, looking straight into his eyes.
" You will do no such thing, Evelyn!" Martin yelled.
" Then dare me," Evelyn said firmly.
" I won't dare you. What do you intend to gain, after telling my dad?" Martin asked, grabbing her by her arms.
" My home, my marriage!" Evelyn yelled.
" Gosh! It's not as easy as you think, you will be hurt after telling him, believe me. My dad is a very strict and principled man; he's only being friendly to you because you're his daughter-in-law. Trust me, you wouldn't wish to see or know the other side of him." Martin said to her.
" I don't care! At least, I'll know that I came out clean to him." Evelyn said.
" Have you forgotten that you signed an agreement? You signed an agreement never to disclose this to anyone. Can you withstand the consequences?" Martin asked firmly.
Evelyn became calm, but she burst into tears; she was heartbroken.
" I thought as much. Gosh!" Martin said and stormed out of the room.
" I wish I never met you!" Evelyn yelled after him and she began to throw tantrums.
