The next day,

The paper is printed so fast than Myra thought it would be, she stare at it and bite her lips then turn to place it on the table to sign, finally they are getting divorced

She could feel her eyes getting heavy with tears but she really can’t let if fall, it is a good decision for her. She cannot let herself be the third wheel.

“So this is it” she said as she stretch over the papers to him.

Adam took the papers and at the same time use his other hand to pull her close, she fall on him with a thud and gasps caught off-guard.

“What are you doing?” she strained

“You signed the papers, didn’t you?” he said and let out a smirk

“What?” she asked and struggle to get out of his grip.

“You just agree to act along with me to make our children believe that we are happy couple, a breech of this means you would lose all rights to them”

“What!” Myra screamed.

She widen her eyes in shock but Adam didn’t give her much time to digest it and lock her lips in a forceful kiss.

She try to push him off but he just won’t move, she gaps as he let go of her and raise her hand to hit him across the face but he grab it in the air.

“You got what you want right? A divorce. It is only right that I also get what I want”

“Making my life miserable?’ Myra asked still bewildered

“Don’t think too high of yourself Myra, I am making my kids happy here”

“And the best way to do that is lie to them” Myra chuckle in mockery.

“However I choose to raise my children is none of your business” he said getting upset.

“Why not I am their…” the door open and she paused.

Little Leslie look at them with sad eyes and Frank pushes his head right behind her with Flynn pouting his lips like she usually do.

“Are you two fighting?” Leslie asked

“Of course not Sweetheart” Myra go to her and rubs her cheek playfully.

“Your Dad and I are just having a conversation” she lied.

Leslie smile pleased and Myra went in with them not wanting to be with him for another second.

Without wasting time, Myra decide that she would need to get a job to get started. Even though Adam has tricked her into signing that she wouldn’t leave the house and would have to pretend with him, she is no longer Mrs. Rodriguez on paper.

She try calling few numbers but only is able to secure one interview, the others turned her down so quickly.

It is a job as an attendant in at a furniture store, the pay is low for her situation but it is better than nothing for her so she did not hesitate to accept it.

Because of the urgent demand, she start to work right away and follow another assistant who takes her on a little tour around the store.

Myra feel a bit sour in her feet at the heels she has been made to wear as she stop to rest her feet, she sees the manager rushing towards her and quickly stand up right.

“I don’t think you can work here Miss. White” the manager said to her in a hurry.

“What? Why? Have I done something wrong?” she asked perplexed. She has just been given the job like ten minutes ago.

“Why did not you not tell me about your relationship with STEEL’s group?”

“How could we possibly employee someone with a background like yours?” he added and took away the employee badge on her.

Myra look stun at his words, she has not said anything about being related to Adam Rodriguez, how on earth did he recognize her? She doesn’t have much presence on the Internet either.

“Who told you this?” she grab his hand to stop him from leaving.

“I got a call from…” Myra did not let him finish and let go.

It is ridiculous but then it would the only good explanation for the manager to find out who she is.

As she rage back home, she wondered seriously why he would do that to her. How he even knew that she is out for a job.

She open the door and the first she sees is Donna, without regarding her, Myra make her way upstairs but her words stop her.

“I don’t think he would want to see you now” she smirks

“And why is that Donna?” she called irritably.

“He is not in a good mood Myra and we both know seeing your face would only make upset him more”

“Guess it’s my lucky day then” she reply sarcastically and continue to make her way upstairs.

She open the door to his private office and he turn around, in her fit of anger, she did not notice the dark countenance and go on to lash,

“Why did you do that?”

“What the hell are you talking about?’ he furrowed hard.

“You called to have me fired, what have I ever done to you?” she yell

“Because I do not want you working low jobs” he resorted and turn back but Myra grab his arm and pull him around.

“Why is that any of your business?” she cried.

“Why? Because you are my wife Myra White” he said raising his voice.

Myra stare at in dismay at his absurdness, he has just referred to her as his wife, now he sees her as his wife after they divorced.

“Adam Rodriguez, are you delusional? We are divorced”

Adam want to say something but he hold his breathe as her words hit him and his clenched fist tighten as he realizes that she is truly no longer his wife.

“What are you going to explain to the kids that your work is?” he questioned finding another means to taunt her.

“Why should I be ashamed of my job in front of the kids?” she retort losing her coo, he must still think of himself so high.

“I allowed you to stay in this house because of the kids and your job is to take care of them, you are not allowed to go out and work for some measly amount” he told her firmly and pushed her by the shoulder out of the room as she protest shutting the door in her face.

Myra heaves in distraught and turned to go downstairs when she run into Donna again who frowns on seeing her come out of the room without Adam raising his voice at her.

“Myra” Donna called already changed out of her clothes earlier and wore a knee-length cotton dress

“I know you don’t want me staying around Adam but he has asked me to stay” she begin irritating her and Myra crossed her arms more pissed to see the confidence in her face.

“The kids have grown attached to me also, it would be foolish of you to do things without considering their feelings first” she added and looked in the space behind her, Myra turned slightly also and sees the kids playing with their teacher.

Donna smiles seeing the distressed look on Myra’s face and took a few steps closer, she wished she is out of the house already but Adam is quite fond of his kids so she is helpless for now.

“Adam really believed you lied about the pregnancy back then because I told him” she whispered in Myra’s ears and pulled back.

“I am so glad you are back” she said pretentiously and hugged her but Myra is quick to retract from the embrace amazed by her master acting, she really should have chosen the acting career and not modeling.
