A pang of pain struck Felix's heart as he said, "Mom, let's get a divorce." It was obvious that between his mother and that woman, his father's scales had tipped in favor of the latter and her daughter. Continuing to live like this was meaningless.

"I won't divorce! Why should I hand over the home I've worked so hard to maintain to her!"
"But considering Dad's attitude..."
"I don't care! If your dad wants to divorce me, it'll be over my dead body!" Melody Zachary screeched hysterically. Felix sighed, feeling powerless and saddened by his mother's obstinacy. He couldn't understand why she insisted on holding onto a man who did not love her.
The joys of his mother's life were simply playing cards and shopping with the ladies. He was already an adult and he had the means to let his mother continue to live a life of wealth.
