"Why should I stop John, why! She's the one who caused all of this, your father and I were happily married before she started working with him" Jennifer yelled as tears streamed down her rosy cheeks. Her husband was now holding her tightly on his chest, her back was attached with his chest as she was kicking her feet on the air and yelling trying to get off his grip.

Her face was now in a red shade color because of screaming her lungs out and crying out loud. My mother's peach dress was now covered with red wine stains since Jennifer threw a full glass of wine from across the table to my mother. Luckily it didn't land on her since she dodged it and it flew straight to the grass floor.

"It's not my fault that you failed to give what the man needs-" yelled my mother with her finger pointing at John's mother accusingly. She was discontinued by my dad, "mary you're a married woman how can you even say that" he ran his fingers through his almost bald-headed head.

He was fuming of anger, from what my mom just said.

My mother turned to look directly to my dad "I'm sorry I didn't mean to-" my dad shushed her unpleasantly as he threw his hands on the air in front of my mom's face. She stood still without saying a word. My dad was now moving around in circles with my mother around him, attempting to apologize, as my dad kept blowing her away from his side.

All this happened after John's father took over from my mother's speech since she was stuttering and explaining what didn't really make sense. She seemed like she was not sure about what she wanted to say.

That was when John's father stopped her and he took over from where she left and he made sense out of everything my mother was struggling to say. He confirmed their affair of 28 years, he said my mother started working for him as a personal assistant in one of his businesses back in Johannesburg, and that was when they started dating.

He was about to say more but was distracted by his wife's sudden wild behavior.

Right now everyone was on their feet, the dinner table was no longer as impressive as it was before the conformation.

My mother was standing next to my dad as they now had a quiet conflict. It seems like my mother was apologizing and pleading with my dad, they were not screaming but I could tell they were contending.

(I knew this was coming)

"Jennifer! calm down-" John's father was screaming to his now wild wife, he was cut off by her yells again "James no, no, you did this you were never loyal to me NEVER, let me kill her" she was saying all these now she had finally escaped from her husband's grip.

Walking would be an understatement for her pace, she was tramping towards the direction where my mother was, Mr. Robertson followed behind her, trying to calm his wife down but she was wild.

Really wild, she was more like untouchable.

On her way she swiftly grabbed a bottle of wine, instantly she smashed it on the table edge, holding it on its mouth as the bottom was now broken, broken glass pieces on the table. As the broken bottle on her hand was now a dangerous weapon.

All I heard were 'oh my God' from Zoe and Nick who were standing afar from the drama scene, all they did was to glare at the drama caused by Jennifer.

John moved as quickly as he can, pushing Zoe and Nick out of his way as they both stumbled and fall on the ground with a thump, next to each other, That looked sore.

I rushed to the direction where my mother was, I wanted to protect her. Her stare was wide and afraid.

"Mom! No" John yelled to his mother and held her before she could reach my mother and stab her. My eyes shaped an 'O' as John and his mother fought over a now broken hazardous bottle of wine.
