Chapter 2. Forced Divorce

"D-Dicky?" After Elle's eyes adjusted to the light, Elle could now see her husband Dicky standing beside the bed with a very angry expression.

"If Dicky is standing beside the bed, then who did I do it with? Who is hugging me now?" Elle thought. Elle's head suddenly went blank. Her body was shaking. She couldn't think or say a word.

Dicky pulled Elle's hair tightly until Elle got off the bed.

"Dicky! It hurts...." Elle groaned in pain while holding Dicky's hand so that he wouldn't continue pulling her hair.

When Elle's body was thrown to the floor by Dicky, Elle could see the figure of a strange man she didn't recognize at all on her bed. The man had a very handsome face, his eyes were dark and there was a cold glare from both of his eyes.

Now Elle could feel her body shaking and getting colder. The sight in front of her eyes made her not know what to do.

"Bastard!" With full anger, Dicky swung his fist at the man.

However, the man swiftly blocked Dicky's punch and returned the punch to Dicky's face. Dicky immediately fell to the floor, groaning in pain.

"Dicky—" Elle screamed in panic, then ran towards Dicky, she wanted to check on Dicky's condition.

The strange man frowned, he stared at Elle and Dicky with a cold gaze. "I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

"What do you mean?!" said Elle in surprise.

The strange man on Elle's bed did not answer. Instead, he got out of bed, put on his clothes that were lying on the floor, then walked out of the room. He ignored everyone in the room.

***

Not long after, Henry Dirk and Tania Oda—Dicky's parents—came after hearing the report about the incident in the room. Seeing Dicky's parents coming, Elle immediately grabbed the blanket to cover her naked body.

PLAK!

"You shameless woman!" Tania came in and immediately slapped Elle hard, causing Elle's body to fall to the floor. She also cursed at Elle.

Elle felt fresh blood flowing from the corner of her lips due to the hard slap. However, she still did not dare to say anything.

"Tomorrow's wedding reception is canceled! We will immediately take care of your divorce. Now get out of here!" Tania shouted while pointing at Elle.

Elle's eyes immediately widened. She was shocked by Tania's decision.

Then Dicky's father and mother began to contact the invited guests to inform them that the wedding reception had been canceled.

Dicky, who had been near Elle, was silent and did not say anything. He saw everything, but he did nothing.

Elle was disappointed to see Dicky's attitude like that. Her heart was broken.

***

A few moments later.

"What's going on? What's happening, In-laws?"

Elle, who suddenly heard her mother's voice, immediately froze. She was very worried that her mother would find out about today's incident.

"Who are you calling In-laws?! Get out of here! Divorce! They're getting divorced tomorrow!" Tania shouted at Elle's mother.

Hearing that, Elle's mother's face immediately turned pale. "W-what really happened?"

"The daughter you've always been proud of has cheated! She slept with another man on her first night. Were you the one who taught her to be a cheap woman?! We will never want to have a daughter-in-law like that! You just watch, I will make a calculation with you for embarrassing our family," Tania said angrily.

"El-Elle... is everything Dicky's mother said true, son?" asked Aida, Elle's mother. Aida's body wavered for a moment, her face turned even paler, but her eyes were still wide open staring at Elle.

Before Elle could get an answer, Aida's body suddenly collapsed in front of Elle.

"Mom!" Elle shouted in surprise. She immediately supported her mother's body. Elle felt extremely scared. Aida had a heart disease, she would not be able to accept anything bad. Like what happened now.

Elle immediately took first aid. She kept trying to do CPR* on Aida.

"Why are you all silent! Quickly call an ambulance!" Elle cried and shouted at the people in the room to immediately call an ambulance.

***

Aida had arrived at the hospital. Elle accompanied her mother all night. After receiving all the treatment related to Aida's illness, Aida's condition was now starting to improve. She was able to get through her critical period even though she was still asleep.

Click!

The sun had just shown itself a few minutes ago, but Dicky and his parents had already arrived in Aida's ward.

"Dick—" Before Elle could continue her words, she was forcibly pulled out of the room by Tania. Tania continued to pull Elle to leave the hospital.

Dicky and her parents forced Elle to get into the vehicle with them, they wanted to take Elle somewhere.

"W-where are we going? I have to take care of mom," Elle asked nervously.

"You better shut up, you cheap woman," Tania replied. Meanwhile, Dicky who was in the driver's seat only glanced at Elle who was in the back seat through the rearview mirror with a cold gaze.

When the vehicle they were in stopped in the parking area of ​​a government office building, Elle realized what they meant by forcing her to come along. They were going to take care of her divorce from Dicky.

The sky that had been bright suddenly turned cloudy, as if it understood what Elle was feeling in her heart right now.

Elle didn't want a divorce, but she didn't dare to beg. What husband could stand it after seeing his wife having sex with another man, especially on their first night. There would be no hope.

"Get down quickly!" Tania pulled Elle out of the car, then dragged her into the building.

Now Elle is in one of the rooms in the building. She is sitting on a chair with a file ready on the table in front of her. 'Divorce Statement' is the title of the file that Elle had seen.

Tania threw a pen in front of Elle. "Quick! Sign it immediately." Tania said with a face full of hatred.

Feeling that there was no hope left, Elle took the pen with trembling hands.

However, when Elle was about to sign the letter, suddenly ... Sret! Someone grabbed the pen in Elle's hand
