His Mistress (Book 1)

ch/4

When Raj came to the house, he rushed upstairs to me. Samrat must have told him that I already know everything

I was lying on the bed with my eyes to the ceiling when he came in. It was 4:15pm. Raj has never returned home this early before.

"Esta I'm sorry, I really am. I know I've been crazy and stupid and reckless, but I'm trying, I'm trying to change. For you and Maya, I've been trying my best, please.."

"For how long? For how long has this been going on for?" I asked not wanting to hear any stupid excuse

"Esta please... Please let's not. I promise to make everything right. I promise I'll get the house back when the money comes. I..."

"What? The house? This house? What about the house?" I asked curiously. What did he do with my house?

"The mortgage? It was on this house not my parents house."

"You mortgaged my house!? And you lied to me about it?" I yelled. The house was his on paper but I actually bought it. I didn't want him feeling insecure so I transferred some properties' right of ownership to him. And he did this?

"I didn't lie, you just assumed it's my parents house so we all let you think so..."

" Oh... You're right, I'm suppose to know that Samrat, your brother took a loan with MY HOUSE!! as collateral?" I ask sarcastically

"You've been the crazy son of a bitch all this time and you mortgage my properties? Just because I gave you right over them?

Get out! Get out right now!!!" I screamed at the top of my voice. I'm already crazy as it is. I can't believe I'm married to a drinking and womanizing gambling son of a motherfucker.

Luckily, Maya was practicing the piano with Taylor and didn't hear Raj and I.

I didn't want him anywhere around me. He pleaded but I won't let him be in my house. I let him stay in my house because he's broke and he mortgaged it?

Raj was leaving the house with some of his belongings when Maya came down. More like he made Maya notice as a tactic of making me let him stay.

"Mom, dad what's going on? Where are you going with all these luggages?" She asked coming down the stairs

He turned to me, hoping I'd lie to make Maya happy and benefiting from it.

"He's leaving" I say simply

"Leaving? Why? M...mom what do you mean? Why's my father leaving? Dad what's going on? Could one of you just talk to me!!" She yelled as she started crying

I exhaled deeply and turned to Raj "Should I tell her or would you rather?"

Seeing as the table has turned against him, and him not wanting to destroy the father of the year award that Maya has given him, he walked up to her hugging her.

"Maya, your mom and I just had a little misunderstanding, adults fight sometimes but we'll resolve it so don't worry"

I scoffed at his mention of resolving this and ordered him out of my house.

"You don't have to let everyone in the world know that you own the house and not dad. Must you be a bitch about everything?" Maya yelled

"You can stay in your house by yourself, I'm going with dad" she says running upstairs. Raj wanted to go after her but I asked him to leave my house immediately and he did.
