Chapter 147
Next morning Tola Diego was called into the waiting room. When she came over, she saw Caden’s lawyer. She was excited she knew her husband wasn’t going to let her rot in jail. He would come get her and Eve out. Come what may, whichever scheme Mia adopts, Caden only loves her.
But as she took her seat, to her surprise, the lawyer presented the already signed divorced papers to her. She looked at it in a puzzle. A divorce paper? Caden was ending his marriage to her?
She can’t imagine that a day would come when Caden will conceive the idea of divorcing her. Had Mia returned to take Caden away from her? She wouldn’t give Caden a chance to be with Mia. She would not sign the divorce. She’s not ever going to give them the chance.
Later that evening, Tola demands that she see her daughter. When Eve Diego came before her, her eyes were swollen and red. It’s obvious she’d been crying.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
When Eve saw her mother, she felt angry and a feeling of hatred surged within her. Her mother had encouraged her to deal with Aurora and do all she can to put her out of her way to win Santiago’s love.
“Eve, are you ok?” Tola asked. She was also feeling terrible where she is, but seeing her daughter she couldn’t endure seeing her so wrecked.
Rather than answer, Eve Diego behaved like a maniac. She violently rushed to her mother and started pulling her hair. “You are evil, mum. You made me become evil like yourself. I hate you! I really hate you” Eve Diego was yelling.
“Somebody help!! She’s hurting me!!” Tola Diego was groaning. Her daughter was going to kill her? The police heard her scream and came in to find Tola on the floor and her daughter pulling her hair and dragging her around the room.
They pinned Eve Diego and forced her hand off her mother’s hair. But alas, she pulled off some strands and they got stuck in between her fingers.
Eve Diego was taken away. But before finally leaving she turned to give her mother a menacing stare and spat on her face.
Tola was sobbing as she was led back into her cell. Her husband wants to end his relationship with her. The only person she thought that still loves her was her daughter. But alas, Eve had attacked her fiercely and would have killed her if she had the chance.
Her life had become worthless. She doesn’t feel like living anymore. It’s better she just ends her life. That way Caden will become a free man again and her daughter Eve would get pacified.
Caden was driving in his car when his lawyer called him and informed him about Tola’s refusal to sign the divorce papers with him. Caden said ok, and ended the call.
Stubborn, always have been stubborn and difficult. He would think how he’ll get her to sign the papers.
Caden called Aurora and asked her how she’s doing. He would like to know if it would be convenient for her to go on a dinner date with him. Aurora laughed over the phone and said he was free to fix any date.
That day passed peacefully and Caden was able to sleep comfortably. He didn’t even care how Eve was doing. He wants her to Suffer a little, so that she would learn her lessons.
After a considerable time, he would plead with Aurora to pardon her little sister and get her out. But until then, he would live his life on his own terms.
Next morning, Caden was awoken when his phone chirped. Who could be calling this early? Reaching his hand to the bed stand, he took his phone and checked who the caller was. It was an unfamiliar number.
Reluctantly he answered.
An hour later, Caden arrived at the hospital. A doctor and a few warders approached him and took him aside to talk in the doctor’s office.
“Your wife Tola Diego has committed suicide. We called you over to claim her corpse since she hadn’t been prosecuted yet..” Caden glared at the doctor in alarm.
Tola! She killed herself? What for?
When he was called earlier to come over to the hospital, he had thought something terrible might have happened.
But never in his wildest imagination would he had thought anything on the line of suicide. Why would Tola end her own life?
When Caden requested to see her, her remains were brought in a body bag. Caden went and unzipped it, looking at her pale face. Tola laid there peacefully like someone who is sleeping.
He was told she committed suicide by biting her tongue. While considering the possible reasons, he learnt that Eve, her daughter, had bullied her.
Caden was greatly affected by the news of Tola’s death. He only wanted to divorce her not to see her die. At the time she died, she was still his wife.
He called Aurora and told her that her step mother had committed suicide. Aurora asked where he was at the time and he told her.
She informed Santiago and they both set out in Mia’s company. When they arrived, they saw Caden Diego signing some papers before he would be allowed to claim the body for burial or cremation as the case may be.
Aurora walked to him and hugged him “I am sorry for your loss, dad” She said. Caden Diego forced a smile and told Aurora he appreciated her concern.
Santiago and Mia came closer and gave their condolences.
Santiago asked if he should arrange for a mourning hall. But Caden refused. He said they were going to cremate her and that’s the end. Tola Diego took her own life and therefore does not deserve any ceremony.
