Do I get the divorce or not

Chapter fifty-seven
Jayde
My heart made a thunderous thud at the announcement. Divorce? But why? I thought I was supposed to do this until Hattie got back.
Or is Hattie back? Is she now ok?
"Jayde!" Beatrice's voice jolts me out of my thought. Sadly enough, I was starting to think of how much I would miss Henry.
Gosh, I'm going to miss him so much.
"Did you hear me?"
I comport myself, "Yes, I did. But is Hattie back? Has she walked out of her unconsciousness?"
" No," she went silent for a while, " But it's not good that we are disturbing you like this. You should be free to live your life."
" But I volunteer to come back. It's not your fault anymore!" I argue softly. I didn't want it to look like I'm staying because I want to.
Mercy looks at me much longer, as if she couldn't quite believe why I'm being hesitant to do what would set me free.
Well, it's not like I told them I'm in bondage.
Gosh, why must they bring this up at this time? Why didn't they do it earlier?
Why didn't they do it when I was still strong enough to back off. When I willingly left. Why did they have to say it now that it's looking so difficult for me to back out?
The main reason why I refused to listen to Declan is that I don't want to leave Henry. Gosh, I love him so much to do that. I don't want to leave him.
I know I will later have to do so but at least I will enjoy this before she comes back.
Why can't they let me enjoy this and walk out freely on my own?
"I'm sorry Jayde but we've decided to make her sickness public. We will announce to the public that she got sick after the divorce," Beatrice says more calmly but I can't help the sad expression on her face.
Aside from that, she looks so tired. I wonder how much they've thought about it. I wonder when they decide on it.
" But! You don't sincerely need to do that. I've agreed to stay till whenever," my heart races slowly at the thought of reality.
I look over at Mercy, "I'm staying because I want to."
"Why are you hesitating!" Mercy finally yells, " you wanted this in the first place! You threatened us to let you go! Why must we beg you to leave now!" She looks so super angry now.
Will I really be leaving Henry?
Beatrice touches Mercy slightly so she wouldn't say more. She turns to look at me, "No Jayde, we should have done this a long time ago. We shouldn't have involved you at all. So, we have made our decision."
" But," I started again, my heart going against my head. I can't just have this, I cant and I won't.
"Jayde, we've made the decision and that's final! You need to visit the lawyer and let them know you want a divorce. We will try to convince you but make sure you remain adamant in your decision," Beatrice says, her voice going deeper and higher with a hint of seriousness. With her final statement, you will know she didn't want any more conversation. Her mind has been made up already.
What could have happened? Why would they suddenly make this type of decision?
Why all of a sudden? I came back myself, why should I be forced to leave?
Gosh, I don't want to leave, I sincerely don't want to.
"Do you understand?" Mercy says angrily. Seriously, I can't believe the lady that almost became my friend two days ago is acting this way again.
She looks like a witch now.
I nod slowly, unable to find my voice.
"I will give you three days. Go to the lawyer and find something to tell him," Beatrice says and stands. She looks down at me for a moment, " Thank you for everything," she says before walking in.
"Three days Jayde. We have just three days to expose the truth about the real Hattie! Don't spoil it for us!" She says as if I'm the real enemy here.
I watch her walk inside before I could bring myself to stand.
I suddenly felt numbness almost at every part of my body. I feel weak and tired and frustrated.
Why didn't they do this before I come back?
Seriously, it's annoying they have to do this.
I don't believe I will be forced to stop seeing Henry after three days. Gosh, I'm going to miss him so much.
I get home feeling more dejected and weak.
The house looks too quiet for comfort and I don't think Henry is back.
I walk to the minibar and take a bottle of champagne. This is what I need seriously.
I need to clear my mind.
I walk inside my room with a glass of wine.
My mom didn't want me to come and I had to lie to her because I wanted to be here.
Maybe I'm getting punished for lying to her. Gosh! It's like I'm going insane.
How can I fall in love at this stage?
My phone rings suddenly when I have barely tasted the wine. I've only drank half the content of a glass of wine.
I pick it up. It's Declan, "hi!"
"Where are you?"
I smile. I can make use of him.
"I'm at home. Will you pick me up?"
"What's happening to you?" His voice was hard. He's so cute, noticing every single thing about me.
I laugh, " I will take a car."
"No!" He says suddenly, "I will drive to you? Just stay still, I'm almost at your place," he finished up and the line went off.
I take my cup and gulp down the content. It burns in my throat and I laugh at the action.
I pour some contents into the glass of wine before walking out of my room
I drink the content and throw the cup away. It doesn't matter! Henry will get a new cup. He's one of Ayles' billionaires. Nothing is expensive for him.
I walk out of the house and discover I didn't even take my phone.
I turn around to go back in. Instead, I lose my footing and almost went crashing on the ground.
An arm caught me, pushing me closer to a hard chest.
I look up at Declan's cute face.
