Tell that to the mother of your child

Martin was too shocked to react on time. By the time he came around the bedroom door was shut with a loud bang and locked from inside

"Hey, babe, we need to talk about this. Please open the door" he hurriedly followed to the room but he could not get her to open the door. His mind had not yet processed the whole thing. He came in worried what mind have happened to her at home or what she heard. But he was the one surprised. It seem it was too late for him to save his marriage after all.

He had no choice but to go to the guest room, he needed to sort out his life as soon as possible. Delaying some things will not be good for him

That night, he could not sleep, as he tried to imagine what life would be like without her. His career, reputation and family is at risk.

Early the next morning, Evelyn woke up and prepared herself for work. She had hired back few more helpers in the house. She didn't need to do the laundry, cooking and cleaning by herself. By the time she went downstairs for breakfast, the governor was there waiting for her reading a newspaper

" Good morning madam," the new helpers were done serving and bowed to her

She smiled seeing her favorite food on the table and nodded to them. It has been long since she ate her favorite food. She was in a very good mood this morning. she didn't get the grip of why she felt elated this morning but even the presence of Martin could not take it from her

" Good morning darling," seeing her in a better mood, Martin thought probably she had calm down

" Good morning Martin, Hope you had time to do what we talked about yesterday. Its urgent" she didn't go into details with the presence of others around them. Martin frowned at the mention of the divorce papers

" Don't you think its too early to talk about it, we need to discuss it first. Lets talk after work. Remember we have an event to take care of this Friday. Let's settle this issue after its done" he looked at her and responded. Though he was smiling, it was a forced smile.

"Could you please excuse us." Evelyn turned to the girl standing next to them. She didn't have time to talk about this issue later, " Listen here Martin, I have got lots of things going on in my mind. Right now, I am trying to hold myself together. That event has nothing to do with me. You can decide to have Aliya go with you. After all, she is the woman your family approves off."

Martin was speechless for a moment thinking that's the reason she was so angry to file for a divorce, " Aliya and I are over. She is still friends with my mum and visits her sometimes. But there is nothing going on between us again. We ended it that night"

Listening to his stupid explanation, she thought probably she seem more stupid to him

" You are really something. How stupid do you think I am? I have tolerated all the nonsense and the cheating all this years in hope that you will change, but recently, I have found so many things that makes me question who you really are.." with that she stood up ready to go

"Please lets solve this. We cannot just decide to end everything over such a small issue. Ill change. I have promised you that and I will keep my promise."

"You go tell that to the mother of your child. I can tolerate having one or two affairs but with the child on the picture, that I can't" with that she left the speechless Martin open eyed

He was shocked, how did she find out about the child. He had been wondering why she was so determined to end things. So she found out eventually. He was done. But how did she find out? He had so much on his mind that his whole day at the office was foul

He had a meeting with the Guliye family about his interest of becoming the president the next term and they agreed to support him. Later, he went to meet investors on the projector they were launching for the benefits of the people but strange enough, they backed out in the last minute. It was billion dollars deal, it hurt him like hell. He was so close to closing the deal.

On the same evening in a beautiful mansion on the outskirt of town, the same investors he met during the day were having dinner with Jeff.

Jeffrey Anderson was not a man to be underestimate. He may be a great surgeon but that did not mean he didn't have life outside his work. He rose a glass and tossed to the visitors, " Thank you for your help"

The other smiled and raise their glass as well politely, " Its nothing much young master Anderson. We are at your service at any time. It was nothing."

One of the old men on the team looked at the Jeff with an inquiring eyes, "let me ask Jeff, why you wanted to stop the investment with county 25? It could be very profitable to you and the family"

"Don't be curious Simon, I just don't like the current governor. You can say that" Jeff answered straightforward looking cold thinking of everything he found out about the man.

"You must be kidding. Just because you don't like him? There must be something else I am missing." He wanted to push further but Jeff just smiled and looked away. He knew he could not any more question. This man has ever been strange. At some point he seemed like someone who didn't care about what goes on around him but recently he had been active.

"When are you coming back home, the old man was asking about you" Simon asked. He was friends with the Old Anderson as well as worked as his right hand man. He was tasked with taking care of Jeff's affairs.

"I am still working and I don't intent to take a vocation soon. I will come visit him when I find a wife. Tell him to pray I get a wife. If not I will not come" The answer shocked him. They knew too well the young master has never had a girlfriend before. Getting a wife will take forever. Simon didn't know what to say and shut up. Inside he was lamenting on how unfortunate the master was to have such an overbearing and stubborn grandchild

"I'll be going to look for a wife. See you around." He laughed out loud looking at their faces.

"You!" Simon knew they were teased immediately and pointed at him
