The Billionaire's divorced wife One
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

Alicia's POV I walked into the magnificent building with my shoulders high as if a chip had been plugged into it. That was all a facade, I was dying inside. I was a wreck from nervousness, fear, and a thousand questions running through my head.What if he says no? What if he doesn't accept the decision I'm about to make? What if he goes against me by using the contract I signed? What if I get sued in court? 'Focus Alicia, you've got this,' I repeated those words in my head more than a million times even as I walked into the elevator. This is the second time I'll be walking into this building and I was even too nervous to be as mesmerized as I was the first time I was here.The last time I came here, Grandma Mary had asked me to drop a document at Nathaniel's office. I couldn't look away from how exquisite the office was. It was like walking into a five-star hotel but with an office layout. When I got into Nathan's part of the building, I didn't meet him but I met his bitchy secretar

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 POV After I left Nathan's office, I couldn't comprehend or understand what I was feeling or what was going on exactly. I know I'm supposed to be excited, I finally got the freedom I always craved but a part of me was sad. Throughout the entire ride from his office to my home, I couldn't shake off the sad feeling. It kind of stuck with me for a long time even after I got home. I sat back to watch a comedy show in my room but it didn't appear funny to me. When my eyes moved to the framed picture of Grandma Mary sitting on my bed stand, that was when I realized where the sadness was coming from. I feel like I'd disappointed her with my decision. If she was alive, my decision would've killed her. It would've been written on her gravestone that I was the cause of her death. Tears welled up in my eyes and I quickly wiped it off with a finger to stop myself from crying. I picked up the divorce document I'd gotten a day after Grandma Mary died and dropped it off on the kitchen co
The Billionaire's divorced wife Five
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

Chapter Six Nathan's POV Two months ago, I got a divorce letter from my wife, and still, no one in my family knows that I'm divorced. I was waiting for the right time to tell them, maybe tell them all at once that my marriage was over or maybe I was just not ready to let them know about it. The Lancaster family is large. They come from old money so they had no choice but to stick together except for me who decided to build a name for myself outside the Lancaster's name. In the first few years of my startup company, I didn't use my father's surname, instead, I used my mother's. Things didn't come easy but after a while, it all smoothened out. My family still wants me involved in the family business and they won't stop trying to talk me into leaving my company and focusing on the family business. It never worked and I know it still won't work tonight. I've been invited to dinner by my father, I know it's going to be as crazy as before but I'll survive like I always do. Getting cl

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
The Billionaire's divorced wife Eight
Alicia's POVThe last time I set my eyes on Nathaniel Lancaster was the day we met at my lawyer's office. So, why is a man who looks so much like Nathaniel standing outside my door? "Hi Alicia," I blinked, not once but twice. I wasn't ready to believe my eyes that it was him. Nathan Lancaster was standing in all his glory in front of my door, a gentle smile on his face and wrinkles on his forehead. He looked like he didn't agree a bit from the day I first saw him. Still a heartbreaker, uhn? Ever since we divorced, I tried my best to stay away from media and anything 'Lancaster'. One time when Grandma Mary's secretary called me, I didn't pick up the call because I knew she might have wanted to talk to me about the divorce.I got a job two weeks after we finalized the divorce at a local, small architecture firm. The salary wasn't anything much but it could keep my clothes on my back and a tiny roof over my head. I work mostly from home, not because of anything other than the fact that
