Next day, at King's Company......

Ezekiel and Mayur was sitting face to face......he was throwing glares at her and she kept her eyes lowered, lost in her thought. Suddenly door clicked and his lawyer entered, both turned.

Ezekiel only scoffed...

When lawyer sat infront of her, he seemed quite unprepared for someone with so much experience, but then he barely saw this lady infront of him, so he didn't know how to start a conversation, he looked back and forth at both of them. As an Attorney, he was present at their wedding but never thought in his distant nightmare he thought that this day would come when he'd would drawing divorce papers for these two especially after hearing Richard's elaborate description of his daughter in law and how his son was so protective and caring towards her, he thought Ezekiel would actually loved her __ but then one never know.

they looked so perfect together, His mind argued as he hand over the papers he was ask to prepared.

''here you are going to sign on them'' Zeke said, his voice lacked any warmth, void of any emotions as he took the attached papers from the  Attorney and threw it infront of Mayur's face

"what is it ?'' Mayur asked softly

''Divorce papers....you asked for this once,....you got your wish'' He sarcastically said

Her whole world just disappeared into thin air right there, everything blank, she blinked and blinked again! then, she took a deep breath and__

''Zeke -- Mr.King plz, just once if you___'' She pleaded,

he knew that he forbade her to call him by his name but even that simple thing of correcting her mistake only served to fuel his anger, the whole round table shuddered under the pressure of his punch, making both Mayur and the attorney jump

''the only reason i still didn’t hand you over the law enforcement yesterday because you conveniently fainted and today because i don't want to hamper my Company’s reputation, which was built with my father's blood and sweat as well as mine,.....so don't make me force you, woman'' He threatened

Attorney uncomfortably cleared his throat to indicate his presence in that room
"here Mrs.King,...you have sign h__"

Ezekiel cuts him off saying, ''It is Ms.Parrish or whatever her real name is......she is not worthy to be called a King, make sure she signs her real name''

Attorney cleared his throat again and said with extreme difficulty, "Ms.Parrish, you have to sign here,...

he turned the pages after pages, "here and there at the last" and then handed her one check -- mind you it was signed and blank and same papers she just signed "Mr.King signed it, you can withdraw any amount of money you like and these are the papers of property you just signed, it has been given to you by your hu-- he cleared his throat again
"Mr. King as...an --um alimony"

She takes one look at each things in her hand and put them on the table,
''I don't want anything from him though if everything is done, i'd like to go'' She gulped and said in a very composed voice, she could still feel him looking at her but she didn’t dare to look up.

She knew she'd cry if she looks up

she wouldn’t, not today! not ever! Not after today least of all for him

So, this is how it ends!

3 years of an unknown/hidden marriage dissolves in a nasty secret divorce.

Getting accused of something she never did, being punished for crimes she never committed, she remained silent only because she didn't have any thing that can prove her innocence.
