Chapter 5 Divorce Now

• I could not believe my eyes and ears. This was my own husband proposing to me divorce papers without remorse or emotions in his eyes, like I had never meant anything to him.
• 'Please, don't do this.' I felt the urge to say that but I could not. My pride muttered to me a lot and it overwhelmed me.
• I just sneered and dragged the suitcase with me out of the house, with no destination in mind.
• The moment I stepped out of the house, I was hit with the dark clouds in the sky. It was about to rain and I had no destination in mind.
• All of a sudden, I heard someone call me. "My lady!" I turned around immediately to see Madison at the door. I started feeling some liquids drop on me and within the twinkle of an eye, rain started pouring down quite heavily.
• Madison got into the rain and it was then I noticed the big bag she was carrying. "I packed the few things I could pack quickly, my lady. I will come with you." She said and I furrowed my brows, frowning at the same time.
• It just did not make sense to me.
• "Madison, what are you doing?" I questioned, making it so obvious that I was angry about her decision.
• "I am going with you, My lady. I can't let you go alone this way, and I don't think I would ever grow the heart to serve someone else beside you." She replied and I scoffed.
• "Don't do this, Madison!" I asserted firmly. Not like I was annoyed at her, of course I was touched but then the anger I had bottled up in me against Adrien was about to get loose and then vented on her.
• "You take care of everything in Adrien's wing, you can't just decide to leave all of a sudden. You are a part of this pack and this is rebellion." I explained, trying to restrain myself from venting my anger on her when she did not even do anything wrong.
• "I don't care about all that. For you, I swore an oath to die and go with you wherever you go." She countered. We were still standing together in the rain, getting drenched. She was a strong woman on the outside but she was quite aged to some extent and staying in the rain for so long could ruin her health.
• "Stop with the nonsense and leave the rain, Maddie. I have been cast out here so the oath breaks by default. I don't have a destination in mind nor do I have any plans, so how would I take care of you? Stay back here and serve the Royal family diligently. If the heavens will have us meet again, so be it. If not, then that's it." I declared and even with her face being drenched, I could see tears in her eyes.
• I swear mine were bloodshot too, I could feel it. She walked closer to me and put the big bag in my hand. "There is a flask of food I could pack, some snacks, cereals and milk. I put in a flask of warm water and an umbrella for you also, I know very well the condition of your health. Please, take care of yourself and make sure you survive. My lady, I promise to come look for you." She said to me and hugged me tightly before leaving.
• I swear, I was bawling. I was close to crying blood. How could a woman be so loving? When I thought all was against me, there was still someone rooting for me after all.
• I dragged my feet in the rain, walking many meters till I got to the gate of the Royal Pack House. I had been here for over three years and it seemed like my welcome was overstayed now.
• The securities obviously had gotten an instruction from above so they opened the gates quickly and let me leave. I did not bring anything here and I barely left with nothing also.
• After running away from home years ago just to be with this betrayer called Adrien, I did not seem it fit to return back to my father's pack.
• Outside the Royal Pack House looked strange, the outside world generally looked strange. I had never stepped out of the pack alone, without Adrien's car and the guards. In fact, I did not go on personal outings.
• The only times I went out of that pack house was when Adrien deemed it fit to take me along with him to special occasions that had to do with the pack.
• If I were to be asked, I did not remember the way back to father's pack, even. And werewolf packs were not something you can find on an online map. I was so doom for sure.
• After walking endlessly out of the Pack estate, I finally got out to the main roads. The rain was gradually stopping but I was all drenched and it was only a matter of time before I caught a cold.
• My hair was wet and stuck to my body like glue. I felt so helpless and hopeless, watching numerous cars with most of their windows tinted, driving at unbelievable speeds. The traffic was just crazy and I did not even think there would be anyone interested in offering a hopeless looking person a ride. To where, even?
• 'I guess we will be sleeping on the streets for a while, Mina.' I thought to myself.
• As the dark, night sky set in, I walked down into an unknown street carrying a suitcase and a bag full of snacks, just hoping to see a motel so I could have somewhere to lay for the night.
• I did not have much money on me but I could afford a room for that night. I needed to settle a lot of things, my brain, my mind, my situation and what would possibly become of me.
