The Divorced Heiress

“Where are you going? There is no way that I am going to give you a chance to plead with Damien. You won’t confuse his mind anymore,” Harriet said harshly as she grabbed Amanda’s arm to prevent her from walking to the bedroom.

After a few minutes, Damien came back with an envelope in his hands.

Seeing this, Amanda’s face changed its color and became white as she paled. She knew what the envelope contained. She tried to speak up but she found out that she didn’t have the strength to do so.

“Damien, What are you holding in your hands?” Marie asked as she pretended to be curious.

“Divorce papers,” he said.

Boom!

If they thought Old Mrs Scott asking for a divorce was shocking news, then this was more than that.

The guests sympathized with Amanda as she had dug her own grave when she made the mistake. It was known in the high–class families that Damien didn’t love his family but they thought that it was a rumor. Now, they knew everything was true making it not hard for people to sympathize with Amanda.

“Damien, what is the meaning of this?” Old Mrs Scott asked as she was so shocked that his grandson had kept divorce papers. Her face turned pale as everything that happened occurred to her, making her become pale. She knew she had fallen into their traps.

“Didn’t you ask a few minutes ago to discover this woman and give the divorce papers to you as a birthday gift?” Damien asked no emotion evident in his

tone.

“Yes…but…”

“No buts, Grandma. I will fulfil it for you,” he said as he walked towards Amanda handing her the papers and a pen to sign. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“You witch. You planned all these. You wanted to turn me against Amanda,” Ol Mrs Scott yelled as she hurriedly walked to Amelia who had an evil smile on

her face.

Upon hearing the old woman and noticing that she was coming in her direction. Marie revealed an innocent look making it seem as if she was being wronged.

“Grandma…”

“Don’t call me Grandma with your filthy m*uth. Learn how to brush your teeth before opening your m*uth to speak in public,” Old Mrs Scott reprimanded

her.

Marie’s face turned ugly while her eyes turned murderous for a little while before she turned to an innocent woman but inwardly’she was cursing at the old woman and swearing to take her revenge after she got married into the Scott family.

“Don’t think that even if Damien divorces Amanda I will let you in my family! You will never be a daughter–in–law of the Scotts,” Old Mrs Scott said as she hit Marie.

Up to 10% but

“Grandma, what are you doing? It isn’t Marie’s fault but that woman’s fault.” Damien said angrily cause he didn’t know why she hated Marie.

Damien stood between his grandma and Marie making the cane land on him.

Even though Amanda felt pain when she saw her husband being beaten up, sh didn’t interfere since it pained her heart to see how he was protecting his mistress when he never cared what she was going through in the family.

Seeing the guests looking at her with sympathy because they had already found out what really happened after Old Mrs Scott’s outburst, Amanda felt bitter. She knew that there was no way Damien would ever see her as his wife.

Amanda took steps forward and stood beside Damien.

“Amanda, what are you doing? Step aside before this cane lands on your body. You shouldn’t be protecting him after what he and his mistress have done,” Old Mrs Scott said.

“No, you are mistaken grandma, I am not here to plead for him,” Amanda said calmly as she looked at the old woman in front of her.

“What do you mean?” Old Mrs Scott asked because she was confused and shocked

Everyone in the family knew how much Amanda loved Damien and she always all blame on her so that her husband may not be punished but what’s going on? They all had that question on their mind including Damien.

Without responding to the question she was asked or talking to anyone, Amanda picked up the envelope and pen in Damien’s eyes before walking to the table. nearby. She took out the document

nearby. She took out the document inside and started reading it put sne was distracted when she saw Damien’s signature which pierced her heart.

Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes, opened them and then signed both copies. She took one copy for herself before returning the other copy to Damien.

All this while, everyone was looking at what she was doing. From her in–laws to her husband, from Maria to the guests. They were all shocked.

Some of them agreed with what she had done because she shouldn’t be humiliated just because she got married in the family. Her in–laws apart from Old Mrs Scott sighed in relief cause they had been waiting for such an opportunity.

“My dear, why?” Old Mrs Scott asked with her eyes red.

Although Amanda had always been soft, she couldn’t bring herself to. She had always thought that Old Mrs Scott loved and trusted her deeply and saw her as her own granddaughter but today’s event proved to her that she can be

displaced anytime the old woman feels like.

“It’s high time I let go. I have suffered enough in your family’s hand,” she said coldly, making the old woman flinch and step backward.

Seeing this, Damien frowned as he supported his grandma.

“You always claim that you see grandma as your own grandmother then why a you talking to her like that?” Damien asked, making Amanda roll her eyes.

“You all wanted me to leave and I will be doing so in a few,” she said even though she was bitter about it.

Tears attempted to escape but she still pretended to be strong since she didn’t want people to mock her while saying that she just signed the divorce papers to get everyone’s attention.

Looking at the signed documents on his hand, Damien felt displeased for no reason. He couldn’t understand why he was feeling that when he was suppose to be happy that the divorce had finally taken place and that he was single and could marry the love of his life, Marie, anytime.

With her head held high, Amanda passed in between the people before walkin upstairs to their room. Even though they were married, Damien had refused to share their matrimonial bedroom with her saying that she was disgusting enough and he couldn’t share a room with such a beggar. She never retorted since she understood that she didn’t love her but now, all she felt was pain

in her heart.

Amanda packed her belongings in the suitcases making sure there was no trace of her left in the room and the Scott’s mansion. She looked at the room once more before leaving the room while dragging the suitcase.

Walking downstairs, all eyes were on her. People started murmuring cause they didn’t know she was dead serious. They wondered why she opted to leave one of the rich families and return to poverty, the streets because it wasn’t a secret in high society that she was an orphan.

“I am leaving since I now know my place. We have just signed the divorce papers thus I don’t belong here. Let’s meet tomorrow at 10 a.m at the civil bureau to get the divorce papers,” she said before getting out of the mansion.

“I am leaving since I now know my place. We have just signed the divorce papers thus I don’t belong here. Let’s meet tomorrow at 10 am at the civil bureau to get the divorce papers,” she said before getting out of the mansion.

“Since you have signed the divorce papers of your own free will, I hope you aren’t plotting anything against my family,” Damien said coldly while shooting daggers at her.

“What can a poor orphan like me who survived by begging or cleaning the town’s toilet do to a rich family like the Scotts?” she asked with a smile on

her face.

“Good that you know where you belong. You better not waste my time tomorrow,” Damien said when he saw her leaving.

Without paying heed to his words, Amanda walked out of the Scotts‘ mansion. putting an end to her loveless marriage.
