The Billionaire's divorced wife

Alicia’s POVThe sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm golden glow across the vast expanse of the cemetery. I stood at the edge of the grave of Grandma Mary, the woman who had been a support to me my entire life. It's been a month since she left this world and I still can't get over the sadness that manages to creep into my heart every moment. Tears welled up in my eyes, mingling with the bittersweet memories. With a heavy sigh, I turned away from the grave, my emotions threatening to consume me. It was almost time, time to embark on a new chapter without her influence and presence. I walked towards the waiting black car, its polished exterior reflecting the somber surroundings. Slipping into the backseat, I shielded my eyes with a pair of dark sunglasses I'd brought with me from the house. The world outside moved in a blur as my driver guided the car through the city streets. I reached into my bag and retrieved my cell phone. With trembling fingers, I checked the time. Four hour

Nathan's POV 'Let's get divorced then,' The words kept ringing over and over in my head for the rest of the day and no matter how much I tried, I could never let it go. I hadn't expected Alicia to come to my building and never did I expect her to barge into my office like that. I knew Alicia was a stubborn woman who would go after whatever she wanted even to the gates of hell but never in a million years did I ever think I would see her at my office, asking for a divorce. I thought she loved the marriage enough to keep staying. I did everything she wanted, which was actually nothing. I didn't ask her for anything and neither did I force her to do anything against her will so, why would she want a divorce? What did I do wrong? I mumbled under my breath. "What did you say?" Sylvester, my friend asked. "Nothing," I shook my head. I’d driven over to his place after I left work this evening."Something is on your mind and I know it. I've been your friend for over a decade now so tru

Alicia's POVThe next day, I moved out of Nathan's home, and out of Lancaster's empire forever. I had some money saved up from the jobs I did before I got married to Nathan and I used some of that money to rent an Airbnb before I started the search for an apartment and a job. After getting married to Nathan, I wasn't allowed to have a job because women in the Lancaster family don't work but we get a black card from the family to pay for all our clothing, trips, and other expensive luxuries of life. While I was living the simple life, the other female in the Lancaster's house lived an extravagant life that was splashed all over social media making other people drool and wish for their life. Since I never got to use the black card, I dropped it in my room before I left Nathan's home. I was going to survive on a savings of less than ten thousand dollars. First off, I needed a job. Going out to search for a job might not pose a problem because my marriage to Lancaster wasn't public and

Nathan's POV "Good morning, Board Members," I walked into the board meeting as nervous as possible. I received a call from my secretary that we had an emergency at work. I asked her how terrible it was and she told me it was enough to run the company down.I'd worked so hard to build my company from scratch ever since I graduated from high school, watching it crumble right when I'm alive is not something I'm ready for. I knew I was ready to move the earth just to avoid this problem. I told my secretary to call all board members to an impromptu meeting by twelve and to my surprise she called ten minutes later and told me I needed to be at the office immediately. "What happened? What's going on?" I asked as I took a glance at the board room. All board members were available and I realized the matter must be more serious than I'd thought. "Our biggest investors, Silicon Internationals, pulled out last night" my secretary replied "Why?" "We don't know anything about that yet. We on

Alicia's POV"What else did he say?" "That was all he said," I replied. I was at Francis', who is my lawyer and my friend. We've always been good friends who meet up at family events but now, we're almost best friends who meet up at restaurants and even his office sometimes. After I told him about what Nathan had said, he stared at me as if I grew two heads for a minute. "So? What have you decided?" I swallowed the chicken rice in my mouth and gulped down the water. I was so hungry I could eat a whole house and still not be satisfied."Nothing yet. I decided I'll see my lawyer before I make my final decision," "Who's your lawyer?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.I glared at him and laughed. "Come on, Francis," "Let me get into my legal mode. I've been activated into friend mode until now so this might take a while," He closed his eyes, placed a finger at his forehead, and pressed it in. He made some funny robotic noises and suddenly stopped. All through, I was laughing so hard I
