Chapter 5

"I've thought about it deeply, and I think now is the best time to finally honor your wishes. Let's end this marriage.. let's get a divorce." Alyssa told him. His dark and hooded eyes were filled with shock as he stared at the divorce papers, but it was just for a few seconds. The surprise in his eyes immediately changed into fury. "Are you cheating on me?" He suddenly asked. Alyssa stared at him in surprise, not expecting such a question from him of all people. "Is he trying to pull a prank on me or what?" She asked herself as she scrutinized him only to realize that he was dead serious. Seriously?? Alyssa scoffed and shook her head slowly. After giving him what he had always wished to have, the first thing that left his mouth was such a dumb question. "Please sign the papers quickly so we can register our divorce." She told him curtly with hand sign language as she wasn't in the mood to answer his questions. She was about to leave when he suddenly pulled her back harshly, making her stumble, but she was quick to regain her composure. "Who the fuck do you think you are to walk out on me??" He asked as he tightened his hold on her weak arm. Alyssa's eyes widened in shock as she didn't expect him to suddenly get violent on her. She grimaced in deep pain since she already had an injury there due to the accident that occurred earlier today. "You're hurting me." She told him, but that only made him tighten his grip on her. "I asked you a question, and you have the guts to try and walk out on me??" He asked, still not letting go of her. Seeing that he was hell-bent on hurting her, she decided to do something instead of crying like she used to. She used all of her might to pull herself out of his hold. He wasn't expecting her sudden movement, so that made him stumble forward a bit. By the time he regained his composure, the look in his eyes had gone darker. It looked like he could kill any moment, but Alyssa didn't let that scare her. She was done with him manipulating and hurting her. She wouldn't let him have his way ever again. "You've finally grown some balls. Who gave them to you? Your lover?" Ezekiel asked. "You're a fucking hypocrite." She told him with a scoff. "Alyssa.." He called out in a warning tone but she didn't stop. "All the time we've been married, you've never been loyal to me. I know that my marriage to you stopped you from getting married to Cindy but it wasn't my fault!!!" "I didn't ask to be mated to you. All these years together, I've tried to be the perfect wife and mate to you but you never saw me as someone worth your affection." "Is it because I'm a mute? No!! Because I'm a weak Omega with no family?? No!! It's because I love you! You only treat me this way because you know how much I loved you and how much I was willing to sacrifice my happiness for you!!" His gaze softened when he noticed the mess Alyssa was in. Tears were at the corner of her eyes, ready to pour out but she didn't care. It was only a matter of time before he he would turn back to the beast that he is so she had to let everything out of her chest quick. This was the first time Ezekiel was seeing such a huge outburst from Alyssa and it really surprised him. She had always been really obedient to him like a loyal dog but now that she wants to sever their ties, it made him angrier. "Well, not anymore. I can't keep suffering just so you can accept me!! Sign the divorce papers so you can finally be with the one you truly love." She told him with sign language. "Why? So you can go to your lover?" He asked, his soft gaze gradually changing back to how it was before; just like Alyssa had expected. Alyssa smiled softly and drew close to him; "I've always been faithful to you while you've been spending your time with that whore." She told him in sign language. His eyes turned darker than it already was and he gripped her chin harshly; "Who are you calling a whore?" He asked with gritted teeth. Alyssa kept mute and stared at him dead in the eye, unfazed about the whole situation. Seeing that she wasn't backing down like she used to, he got frustrated and pushed her away. Luckily, she landed on the soft sofa behind her. He sighed deeply and rubbed his face as a way to calm himself. "I don't know what has suddenly gotten into you and I don't really care. I'll just pretend like I never understood everything you just told me. Well, even though I agree to divorce you, no one would dare look your way. No sane guy wants a mute for a wife." He reminded. "Then let me leave this hell of a marriage!! I'm not interested anymore." Alyssa told him. "Really?? You're still hell bent on leaving!!" He muttered as he chuckled angrily while she nodded at his words. "Fine!! I won't hold you back. But first, I want you to compensate me for everything I have provided for you all through our years of marriage." He ordered with a smug look on. Alyssa nodded in understanding and brought out her phone. She opened her bank app and sent back all the money he had been transferring to her since when they first got married. His smug look vanished immediately he saw the money that had been transferred to him. He was really surprised to see it intact. Alyssa had never touched one penny from it. That was the main reason she was working at Lily's café. "Will you sign the divorce agreement now?" She asked using sign language. Ezekiel could see how impatient she was to leave him, and that only made him angrier. He stared at her with bloodshot eyes for a brief moment and then stormed out of the house, leaving her standing alone in the living room, filled with confusion at as to why he doesn't want to sign the divorce agreement. ▪︎■▪︎■▪︎■▪︎■▪︎■▪︎■▪︎■▪︎■▪︎■▪︎■▪︎■▪︎■▪︎■▪︎■▪︎■▪︎■▪︎ Ezekiel got into his car and drove off immediately as he couldn't stand being in the same room as she was anymore. She wanted to divorce him, after these long years.. Why?? Was she actually cheating on him?? That thought made him angrier and he took his anger out on his car by driving with high speed. No cop dared to stop him as he drove past the speed limit because they recognized the car to be their Alpha's. Since she's hell bent on divorcing him, that means there's someone pushing her to do it. He thought about Lily and then it made sense to him. Alyssa wouldn't have dared to talk back to him before but since the day she came in contact with Lily, she slowly started to change. There's no way he would let her get what she wanted. He wanted her to suffer badly for all the years he had wasted on her and he isn't done yet. She had to suffer more and he will only let her go when he's satisfied. For now, he needed to let her know that he owns her and to do that, he needed to teach her a big lesson. He slowed down his car and dailed his secretary's phone number. After a few rings, his secretary picked up. He instructed his secretary to reclaim the land Lily's café was located. He wanted to see how she would be able to survive when she has no source of income anymore. She would undoubtedly run back to him and he wouldn't waste anytime in punishing her for trying to run away from him in the first
