CHAPTER 6

Dylan got to his company, a mobile production company in their city. He was known globally and had foreign partners as well.

Dylan parked his car, a Honda Jeep, in the company parking lot and made his way into the five-story building. He went up to the third floor where his office was located.

Settling into his office chair, Dylan resumed his office work. After finishing his office work for the day and meeting with some top partners and clients who wanted his brand new models of his products, Dylan then relaxed in his executive black chair. Then he got a phone call from Rosie Andrew, who was excited and wanted to know if Jessica had signed the divorce papers.

"Hello, babe. Good morning," Rosie spoke first, excitedly, into Dylan's ear on the phone call.

Dylan stared at his phone screen and replied to Rosie, "Good morning, sweetheart. How was your night?"

"Not good without having you here with me," Rosie replied shamelessly, in a more seductive voice. Dylan swallowed hard as he slowly loosened his necktie a bit to free up his neck.

Dylan apologized to Rosie: "I'm sorry, babe, but you know that I cannot continue to sleep outside of my home as it might ruin my reputation if my customers and fans online find out."

Rosie was silent on the phone call as she frowned. However, she replied to Dylan, "Don't you love me enough, Dylan? Why do you care more about your fans than me?"

"No, babe, don't get it all wrong. You know that if I don't settle my marriage issue with Jessica first and make it known that I'm no longer married to her, some fans might become angry and want to ruin my business. You know I cannot allow that to happen, knowing that Jessica played a vital role in my business and establishment," Dylan said, trying to explain his reason over the phone call to Rosie.

Rosie's frown deepened in her room. She knew that she didn't truly love Dylan anymore. She only wanted his money. She couldn't believe that Dylan had become rich and bounced back to being a billionaire, away from poverty.

Rosie knew that Dylan's parents were rich before, but his father got scammed by a foreign woman who took all his wealth. This made Dylan and his two siblings become poor.

Rosie was younger then and wanted a wild life. She was nineteen years old when Dylan's parents lost their wealth and became poor overnight. Dylan's education fell apart as well.

Rosie couldn't accept the fact that her boyfriend of three years had turned poor overnight and could no longer afford to buy her expensive things. An opportunity came for her to travel abroad and further her education. She wasted no time in traveling and didn't tell Dylan about it. She couldn't even tell him to his face that they had broken up and she was no longer in love with him.

Rosie pretended to Dylan over the years that she still loved him, whereas she had moved on abroad and slept with other men. She only spoke to Dylan on phone calls and refused to return to the city until now.

It had been nine good years since Rosie left the country and Dylan. However, now that Rosie was back home at her parents' house, her own parents were no longer rich. This was because her father's company had been bought and claimed by Mr. Luke Albert.

Rosie researched the billionaire Mr. Luke Albert, who had bought her father's company to help him clear his debt in exchange for the company. Her father's company name was changed to LA Groups. Rosie saw that Mr. Luke Albert was an elderly man with two sons and one daughter. As she was researching Mr. Luke's sons online to see if she could date one of the two billionaire men, and while looking for the two sons of Mr. Luke Albert, Rosie stumbled on Dylan's profile page. She saw that Dylan was married to Mr. Luke's daughter and was Mr. Luke's first son-in-law, as neither of Mr. Luke's sons was married. Both men were single and not the social types; they avoided scandals and women in general.

Rosie was shocked to see on Dylan's profile page that he was already married. She saw his wedding photo with his beautiful wife. Not only that, Dylan was now a billionaire too and had a multimillion-dollar company and two children.

"How is it possible?" Rosie had asked herself in shock to see that Dylan wasn't a poor guy anymore, as she had thought he would end up becoming.

She wasted no time in copying Dylan's company address. She thought it best to see Dylan in his office after she was sure that Dylan was the same man she had dated ten years ago.

Rosie proceeded to visit Dylan at DY Group. She faked her tears and cried to him when she got into his executive office. She accused Dylan of cheating on her and said that he couldn't even wait for her to return to the country first before he got married to another woman, forgetting all the love they shared.

Rosie hadn't thought that Dylan would accept her so easily. She had thought he still loved Mr. Luke Albert's daughter much more than her or their past failed relationship. However, Dylan accepted her easily and told her, "It's not how you're seeing it, Rosie. I still love you, but it just happened that I met my wife, and she helped me become the man that I am today."

"And what about me, Dylan? What about us? Our promise? The love we shared? My virginity that you took? How could you do this to me? I was hoping that once I returned to the city, we would get married. How could you just move on so easily, Dylan? How could you just forget about me?" Rosie threw all manner of questions at Dylan to make him feel like the bad man in their relationship, whereas she was the one who had refused to pick up his calls. Moreover, Dylan had asked her then to lend him some money, promising to return it once he used it to establish himself or make a profit. However, Rosie refused. In her mind then, she had even cursed Dylan, saying, "How can I be the one sponsoring my man? Doesn't he see that other men take care of their women? Stupid man."

Rosie cried the day she visited Dylan's office. Dylan then accepted her back, and she gave him her new home address. She told him she was still single.

Rosie had a boyfriend named Frederick Joseph. However, Frederick wasn't rich. Now that Rosie had seen Dylan still loves her, she wanted to scam Dylan of his wealth and use the money to establish Frederick Joseph instead. Rosie disliked Dylan for becoming wealthy and not remembering to marry her first, instead of marrying Jessica.

Rosie made sure to help Dylan prepare the divorce papers. She wanted to have Dylan all to herself so that it would be easy for her to scam him, and no one would know she was at fault when she finally broke up with Dylan.

"Dylan, how about the divorce papers that I gave to you last night? Have you given them to your wife at home to sign them? I mean, have you had Jessica Albert sign the divorce papers and leave your house?" Rosie asked Dylan. He replied, "I have given Jessica the divorce papers, but she is not feeling well this morning. Jessica is unwell, so she will need some time to go through the divorce papers before she can sign them. By the way, how come you didn't include that she would be taking 50% of my company's revenue and would take care of our children too? Didn't you know that I have two children?" Dylan asked, and Rosie pretended not to know.

She replied, "I don't know, Dy, but isn't your wife's family billionaires? So what does she need your money for again?"

Dylan was silent at first. After a while, he replied, "No, Rosie. Jessica cannot go empty-handed like that. She suffered to help me build this company, and her parents won't take it lightly with me if I just divorce her without properly dividing all that we have."

"So what do you want to do now?" Rosie asked as she tried not to sound too desperate or annoyed over the phone call.

Dylan replied, "I will prepare a new divorce paper later and contact my lawyer now to get it ready so that Jessica can sign it. Jessica doesn't want to divorce me."

"She has to, Dylan. I'm supposed to be your wife, not her. So let her go back to her parents' home," Rosie spat.

"Hmm," Dylan hummed. "It's okay, babe. You have nothing to worry about."

Rosie finally pretended to be calm and said, "Dylan, you know that I love you very much. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you all those years. Life hasn't been easy for me either while living abroad. During that time when you called and asked me to help you, things got worse for me too. My dad's company collapsed and was bought, and I was struggling too while abroad."

"It's okay, Rosie. I know all that. I saw it in the news too. Don't worry. I will come over to your house today after I close from work. Be expecting me," Dylan said, and Rosie giggled.

"Okay, sweetheart. I will be expecting you. And what do you want me to prepare for you?" Rosie asked.

"You can cook now?" Dylan asked in surprise.

"Yeah, I learned how to cook abroad. Things became tough, and purchasing already-made food was expensive and never filled me up," Rosie said.

"Okay. You can prepare whatever you have the energy for. Don't worry—I will just order our dinners so you don't get exhausted with cooking. I don't want you to be tired in bed so that you can satisfy me however I want you tonight," Dylan said. A sweet smile curved his face as he thought about how passionately he would make love to Rosie in her house when he finally got there after closing from work.

Rosie replied, "Okay, babe. The bill is on you, and I will be expecting you. Goodbye and kisses." She blew kisses to him over the phone call.

Dylan responded by sending kisses back to her over the phone call before the call finally ended.
