The Billionaire's divorced wife Eleven
Alicia's POV"You must be Alicia," My head whipped up to the man at the mention of my name. I turned to look at Nathan but I realized he wasn't even looking at me. He had a hard glare on his face which I'm so sure isn't for the plate of food he was staring at. "Yes, I am," It was at the tip of my tongue to ask who he was but I held it in. He must be the man Nathan talked about. "I'm William Cadry, it's so nice to finally meet you," I gave him an awkward smile. "You must have heard about me from Nathan," "Ah, no. I heard about you from Mary. She was a lovely old woman who wouldn't stop talking about another lovely young lady," Oh! I knew that was possible. Grandma Mary loved me too much more than I deserved. "I hope they were all good things and she left the bad things for me to tell you all about," Surprisingly, he laughed. I hadn't said that to be funny but I'm glad he found it to be funny. That eased the tension that was building up in me. "She told me all good things about

Alicia's POVYour father is an asshole! He's a tramp! Is that even your dad? Are you sure he's your biological parent? Did he hit his head somewhere as a child? How did I miss his ridiculousness all this while? I mean I know your family is ridiculous but your father is in another great level of shitness! "Should we stop at a restaurant for dinner?" I looked away from the car's window as Nathan's words brought me out of my thoughts. I was busy cursing his father out in my head. "What?" "I asked if we should stop by for dinner," I studied his face to see if he was still angry and yes, he was. His hold on the steering wheel was enough to show he was still mad. He was clenching his teeth so bad I know it'll hurt now if not later. "No, I'm good. Are you hungry?" "No! I lost my appetite," he answered and continued driving. After we left his parent's house, I wanted to ask to drive but then remembered it's been a while since I last drove. Silence regained itself in the car and I turn

Nathan's POV"Congratulations buddy," I felt a hard hit on my back and when I turned it was Malik. "Yeah, right. Wait until we see how successful the game is before you congratulate me," He gave me a side look. "Come on, it's going to be great. People are gonna love it. See, a large number of people are waiting outside just to have a first play before it's dropped on the Google play store and APP store. Trust me, it's already a success," I was launching my first game in three years and my first app in one year. We've been working so hard on the game that I'd barely had time for myself. The dedication from every team was mind-blowing. Ever since I came up with the idea, a lot of team members believed it would be a great success and I'll be finding out in a few hours. It's still my biggest launch so far. A rich, new investor means more money for marketing, right? My marketing team came up with strategies to promote the game even and William's team received a copy of the game ad to d

Alicia's POV"I was hoping we would come home together," Nathan declared as soon as he walked into the house. I glared at him.As if that's exactly what he wanted. I left the party several minutes after Willam Cadry and his wife left. When I say several.minutes, I mean just three minutes. There was no one else to talk to except for Malik who wouldn't stop talking. Once he did, I used the chance to tell him I was leaving. I was getting bored anyway. It wasn't my kind of scene and it was hard to try to keep up. Nathan on the other hand was surrounded by so many others that it would've been difficult to let him know that I was leaving so I told Malik to tell him whenever he got the chance. I was sitting at the foot of the staircase and it kind of surprised me when Nathan sat on a step below the one I was sitting on. "Why are you up so late?" "I'm not a kid, Nathan. I sleep when I want to," I answered, brewing from the tens of anger rising inside of me. I'd made an attempt to think

Alicia's POVThe family was seated, on both the right and left sides of the room while the lawyer sat in the middle. So many familiar and strange faces at the same time. I'm only here because Grandma wanted me to and because my ex-husband and pretend husband refused to be here today for the reading. Even though I could recognize a few faces, so many others who I don't even know or haven't seen ever were there. When I walked in earlier, I was greeted with a wide smile that glued to Nathan's mom, Rose's face. I wouldn't be lying if I say I was scared to the bones. That was the first time she would be acknowledging me not to talk of smiling at me. "Nathan's not here?" "He's at church. He didn't want to miss the New Year's service," I replied, lying through my teeth.Before I left home this morning, I met him at the dining table, eating some hard cereal. If we had a better relationship, I would've asked him why he decided to suffer by eating stones. I asked him if he would be coming,

Alicia's POV Whoever invented the word 'takeout' or whoever invented the method 'takeout' is the one person I'm grateful for at this moment. I was so hungry that as soon as I took the first bite, I could swallow a cow afterward.When I left home this morning, I didn't eat anything, and several hours spent in grandma's home didn't bring out any food. I was even too nervous to eat. I don't think I enjoy the idea of a large family even though so many people do anyway. The glares, the backbiting, and the random confrontation are not stuff I look up to every now and then.Nathan had asked me if I wanted the takeout he got and I declined at first, telling him I wasn't hungry. I was too embarrassed to face him after I'd cried like a baby in his presence but what I wasn't ready for was the second embarrassment that came when my stomach growled after I'd told him I wasn't hungry.He gave me the hot sandwiches and hot coffee and I downed two in a few minutes. "When was the last time you ate?"

Nathan's POV"Do you want to tag along?" I asked Alicia. She was still silent since I asked her to be friends. She stared at me for a while before looking away and settling her eyes outside the window.A usual habit of hers. "To where?" "Malik is organizing a new year party at his place. I want to go and I want to know if you'll love to tag along," She shook her head. "I'm tired. I'll rather go home. You can drop me off anywhere, I'll call a cab," "That's okay. I'll drop you off at home," She nodded. "Thanks," I took my phone and sent a message to Malik, telling him I'll be absent from the party and told him to inform Sylvester too. I've been attandng Malik's new year's party since I was twenty-one. He's a great organizer for informal parties like this and never ceases to make it fun, entertaining, and memorable. I guess I'll be missing out on that fun this year. I'll rather not let Alicia spend time alone this year than attend the party. I'll get to watch the ridiculous videos
The Billionaire's divorced wife Eighteen
Alicia's POVThe ride from home to the orphanage might have been short but felt like the longest ride I'd been on in a long time. The last time I stepped foot in that orphanage was a year before I got married.After I left at eighteen, I still went back to help around with some chores or paperwork that was within my capacity. Grandma Mary had mentioned the affairs of the orphanage to me before she died and it was never a dream of mine or even a thought that she would leave the orphanage to me. "We're here," The driver announced and I squeezed a smile out of her nervousness."Thank you. I'll let you know once I'm done," Nathan introduced the driver to me this morning as my personal driver. If I wanted, I could drive myself. Since I didn't feel too excited about driving, I asked for the man to bring me.As I stepped out of the car, the lawyer was already waiting outside the orphanage for me. "Good morning, Mrs. Lancaster," "You could've waited for me inside, it's cold outside, Lawy
