Chapter 47: filing for a Divorce: I*

Emma woke up to a sweet smell of bacon with cinnamon, she sat up holding the sheets over her naked sore body. Last night was incredible to it's extent, she hasn't felt so alive since her and Alec broke up. She grabbed his shirt on the side... putting it on, and followed the sweet aroma coming from the kitchen.

Alec was busy preparing breakfast that he didn't notice her standing on the kitchen entrance, Emma watched shirtless Alec move his hands so swiftly as he cut the tomatoes and onions. All this seemed like a dream to Emma, that she might end up waking up any time from now. She wanted to seize this little moment before they return to the city_ back to the harsh reality of not being together, not waking up in the same bed and have breakfast on the same table.

Alec turned and saw Emma learning by the door frame, she seemed to be lost in thought.

" Good morning, slept well?."

Alec spoke with a smile, Emma snapped out of her thoughts turning her attention to Alec.

" Ah, morning. What are you making?."

" A healthy balanced breakfast, for the most beautiful woman ever." He holds her waist to kiss her forehead. " I hope you're hungry."

" I'm starving." Emma giggled taking a seat, Alec served her first then himself. They ate enjoying each other's company.

QINN MAIN ESTATE.

The maid led two elderly people into the living room.

" I will let Ms Lisa Qinn, you're here." She bowed and left to notify the lady of the house. Shortly after, Lisa and Grange descended the stairs to welcome the guests.

" Mr and Mrs Katlin, glad you made it at such short notice." Lisa gave her greetings.

" We took an early flight to New York after what you said about our daughter, Laura. It's with deep concern."

Ms Katlin spoke, her English ever so elegantly with a perfect London accent. She is a woman of class.

" You know how i think of Laura, she's like a daughter to me. But her actions has gotten me worried ever since she lost her baby."

" I know how much you care for Laura, Lisa. Even though she's our only child, it's not everything that we agree with her doing. Your family is a highly respected family, we wouldn't want her to be the cause of your down fall."

" Thank you for understanding, I will call Laura down here, excuse me."

Lisa went to get Laura, she hoped that Laura's parents will pump some sense into her. At this rate, Lisa only wanted Emma for a daughter in-law.

Laura frowned when she saw both her parents there, she instantly knew Lisa was behind this. She must have called them here to talk to her, but Laura already made up her mind. No matter what she won't listen to anyone, not even her parents this time around.

" Mom, Dad. What are you doing here?."

Laura gave a sweet innocent smile, giving them a hug.

" To see our darling daughter of course, it's just been so long and we missed you." Her mother said.

" Oh really, today you realize you actually have a daughter, how surprising."

" Of course we do know we have a daughter, Laura. You know how busy we are." Her father spoke.

" What brings you here, clearly there's a reason why you came?." Laura lazily said taking a seat. They all sat down as though in a business meeting of board directors. With Laura being the main topic of this meeting.

" Well, dear. We have concerns about everything that's been going on."

" Of course, what else would you cut your many trips to come here." Laura rolled her eyes.

" It's not like you, Laura. Going live on national tv to shame the poor girl and ruin her reputation." Ms Katlin spoke.

" Not to mention, you forced Alec. To divorce his wife and marry you instead, we didn't raise you like that." Mr Katlin added.

" I didn't force him!"

" No you didn't, but it was clearly manipulation... blackmail. It's a crime."

" Mother please, both of you are supposed to be on my side. Who's side are you on?."

" The good side, Laura! We're supporting the truth, and what you're doing is wrong."

" Mom_-"

" Oh, good everyone is here."

Alec arrived _walking into the room with a boredom expression, everyone turned to his direction. " Mr and Ms Katlin, good to see you." He added.

" Alec, dear_ how are you?."

" Good."

He went and sat on a one seat sofa which was facing everyone from that angle, it was the perfect spot for him to break the news.

" I was going to speak to Laura in private, but since everyone is here. I think it will be wise for you to hear that, I want to divorce Laura."

" What!"

Laura abruptly stood in shock, Laura's parents didn't look surprised by the sudden announcement. They were actually expecting something like this to happen.

" Divorce?! I am not signing any divorce papers, Alec. Why, So you go running to that whore, Emma?."

" You will respect the mother of my child, Laura. Besides, the real whore here is you." Alec was calm as he continued to speak through out. Laura widened her eyes, she couldn't believe what he just called her. ' what's wrong with him?'

" How could you call me that, Alec. I am your wife."

" A cheating wife, you think I was that dumb to believe the child you were carrying was actually mine. Or that I don't know that you've been sneaking around to motels."

" W...wha- what are you talking about? I...I don't know what you're saying?." Laura's eyes turned red and watery.

" What are you saying, Alec. Please explain?." Ms Katlin spoke.

" Your daughter here, got pregnant with Nick's child... and thought it was a good idea to blame it on me, I have proof right here_ and there's also the DNA results." Alec threw the brown envelope on the table. " Not only that, she's been seeing and sleeping with Nick behind my back. The two of them are actually lovers, I also have evidence of that... right here." He takes out a black envelope throwing it to the table as well.

" Laura, is this true?." Her mother asked looking at all the evidence Alec provided. Laura shook her head violently denying everything.

" It's not true, I would never."

" Evidence is right in front of us Laura! How could you?." Laura broke into tears running to Alec's side, clinging onto his arm.

" Don't leave me, I made a mistake. Please I love you."

" I really cared about you Laura, not anymore. Not even as a friend _ make sure I never see your face again." Alec yanked his arm away from her and began walking away, he came to a halt, tilted his head slightly and said.

" My lawyer will be paying you a visit soon, don't give her any troubles." He added and finally left. Laura stumbled to the floor bursting into tears, Aron packed all Alec's belongings and took his bags to the car. He was going to return back to his house finally, back to his other family.

" Thank you, Aron."

" It's always a pleasure, sir."

Aron was the one who saw Laura checking into a motel when he was returning from running errands for Alec, curious. He parked by the roadside to see who she was meeting up with, shortly after, Nick arrived at the same motel. At first, Aron thought it must be coincidence, but then the two of them left the motel together. After they left he went inside to investigate, the receptionist couldn't give out personal information. But with money involved people break easily, he confirmed his suspicions. The person said the two people likes checking in three days a week, Aron began following them and taking snaps. He was the one who also provided the DNA results. Alec was pleased to have Aron around.

...

Emma rushed to the hospital as soon as she could, Trixie had called her earlier on her way back home, stating they were at the hospital. Maria Eli, suffered a high fever and was crying non stop.

" Trixie! Where's my baby?." Emma dashed over to Trixie in the hallway.

" She's inside, the doctor is checking on her."

Emma paced back and forth anxiously and worriedly. The doctor came out approaching them.

" Doctor, how's my baby?."

" We stabilized her temperature, it was just a minor virus... thankfully it wasn't serious. I will subscribe some medicine you'll need to get, she'll be fine."

" Can I see her?."

" Of course." Emma took out her phone to let Alec know before she went inside to check on her baby.
