Chapter 189 - One Hundred And Eighty-nine.

The papers laid in front of her as she sat at the dinning table. It was night now and he had not returned yet. It had been hours. 

She shook her head slowly, 'He was sleeping with that woman.' There was no other possible explanation. 

She had never thought of getting married but if she did, she was sure that her husband won't cheat on her.

Well, that didn't happen. She was sure that it was happening right now too.

The papers were lying in front of her and the divorce was in the first paragraph.

'Do I want it?' She sighed. Asking for a divorce and dissolving A marriage was not something to be joked around with. What if after this they ould surely make the marriage work?

But what if she couldn't?

There were so many possibilities about what could happen with this one decision. They could either work on the marriage seriously or he would revert to his old ways after some time and she would have no idea about what went behind that curtain that he had drapped on his life. Then once again she had no idea what went on in the family after the curtains were closed.

Alexis jumped to the bit as she heard her phone ringing, on checking she found that it was Isabelle calling.

"Hello, Isabelle." She wished.

"Did you talk to him?" Were the first words that Isabel said. "I told you something that nobody knows about my child. So did you or did you not talk to him about it?"

Alexis scoffed a bit, "are you worried that I will tell him you were the one to tell me about it?"

"Not what I asked,"

"But what I understood." Alexis confidently replied. "And I can assure you of one more thing, there are many things that your son is hiding from you. Being a Christian is the least of them."

"Of course he is hiding things from me. He cannot tell his mother everything that would make me lose the love I have for him." She could hear the pain of truth in Isabelle's voice. So she thought that it was the right time to make hers known to.

"Tell me Isabelle, has Gabrielle ever cheated on you?"

For a second or two maybe Isabelle did not reply and all Alexis heard was silence.

"No." She answered but her voice wavered and Alexis caught on to that.

"No? Or not that you know of?" She repeated with a more clear question.

A harsh sigh came from the older woman and Alexis heard it. "Tell me clearly what has happened."

Alexis smiled at the command given to her. If Isabelle thought that now would be a great time for them to talk then it was not and she was wrong. Alexis was not going to tell her mother-in-law everything and then be pulled back into the world by her.

She wanted to put her life back together and that would take efforts from her side and no one else's.

"No." She answered.

"..What?" Isabelle whispered. "You need to talk to someone."

There it was once again, someone telling her what she needed to do. if only she had been given a dime when someone said that to her she was going to become a millionaire by the end of her twenties.

"Do I?" She said with a sarcastic smile. "Then why is it that you don't come here to talk to me? you knew from the very start how difficult it was going to be for me when I was thrust in today's life. The very first day you were there in your son's house to give me Donna 101 but I ask you today where are the classes? After three to four classes you were literally out of the life I was living as your successor. You did not tell me about what I was supposed to do with the man of such dark capabilities and thinking. You left me on my own. What you did not tell me was what to do with my husband who has the possibility of cheating on me."

A gasp was heard from her side and Alexis could imagine her shock. Yet, she said anything more.

"No," Isabelle softly denied. "Angelo would not do that. He believes in loving his wife, he would never touch a girl and love someone else outside of his home. Someone who is not his wife."

Alexis could not help but give a scoff at that. "how funny it is that you do not even realise the mistake in the words you just said. He cannot love someone who is not his wife but that does not stop him from making love to someone else." She gave small giggle at that. "Because we both are aware of the fact you don't need love to fuck a person."

"Alexis.. think about what you want to do. It might not be as you thinking about it. Angelo out of every person I have ever known is the most determined man that I have ever met. He is not the one that changes his mind so frequently and over just.."

"Stop. It's alright." Alexis left the conversation in between. "It's understandable that you will favour your son on it. Like every other mother-in-law, you could just tell me that it is not what it looks like. Can you give me a guarantee that it is not what it looks like? That he cannot cheat on me, that he is the most faithful man that you have ever met."

"..."

She smiled as her eyes watered again. "Yes thank you, Isabelle. I think I have found my answer." Without waiting for her answer, Alexis hung up.

She kept the phone on the table right next to the divorce papers. All she had to do it now was wait, wait for her husband to come and then wait some more, for the divorce to go through.
