“Thank God I beat the bastard child that you are expecting out of your womb, I will send your belongings and a divorce agreement across to you, I can’t continue to stay married to a loosed woman like you, you are not only a liability to me but a headache, you are not even trustworthy, I think it’s high time we end this rubbish we call marriage. I have been longing to tell you something, For your information I have two sons with my mistress, she is a very obedient woman who is also faithful, and it’s high time I make her my wife” Raphael’s text message reads.
