Your Honor, I Want A Divorce!

All through the night, sleep was far away from me. Immediately the sun rose in the sky, I packed my things, not leaving a single one behind, and started out of the house.Jacob had not come home last night, obviously he had spent the night with Ella. But I refused to let it bother me now, after all, she was the one he had loved from the start.Dragging my suitcases down the stairs, my phone beeped, coming alive with a message. My heart clenched as I saw the name "Ella" on the screen.[I hope you know now that you have been nothing but an obstacle in Jacob and I relationship. Do the needful without delay.]I scoffed, feeling anger rise in my blood. How dare she order me to leave my own husband for her? If only she knew how much I wanted to be done with him myself. I didn't spare her text a second glance before shoving my phone down my bag.I could only hope that Jacob would show up at court, because if he didn't, then I would have no choice than to release the video of him and Ella. A

Three years later~"Mummy, I want to stay here." She whined, pouting her small red lips. Her deep blue eyes shimmered with rising tears and her head bowed in sadness.I sighed, looking down at the little girl next to me. Crouching down to meet her gaze, I cupped her chubby cheeks in my hands and smiled. "Honey, I know and I understand how you feel."Yet another sigh drew from my mouth as my eyes looked over our mansion. Looking back at her, I reached for her tiny hands and held them in mine. "Honestly I feel the same way too, I don't want to leave."Returning to New York after three years made me feel so anxious. My heart tightened whenever I thought about it but I just had to do it for the sake of business.My past, my fears, everything was still there, waiting for me."Then let's stay!" She insisted, staring pleadingly into my eyes."My princess, we have to go. You know I already told you that mummy has work to do there but I promise you this, it won't take long at all. We'll be bac

It was like a soap opera to the people, they grew even more interested when they saw Gemma. I hated the fact that she was exposed to their judging eyes. "Gemma, come here." I crouched down and opened my arms for her. Without hesitation, she ran with her tiny feet towards me and hugged me. "I miss you," she confessed, "it's no fun without you there." She stumbled over her words whenever she spoke but she still managed to express herself. I had left her in a private room with a nanny because I didn't want her to go through the stress of walking around with me all day while I attended to my guests. Apparently she had grown bored without me and snuck out. I couldn't help the smile that warmed my face. "I'm so sorry my baby, I know. Mummy is very busy you know, but I promise you that I will be with you very soon. Where's your nanny?" "She's sleeping." "Okay." Without any more words, I carried her into my arms and patted her back softly."Oh I get it now..." Ella suddenly uttered. "Y

After my speech, Ella and her mother disappeared from the crowds, throwing themselves out before I would ask the security to do so. Jacob was reluctant to leave, obviously still wanting to question me about my child, but he was their puppet now and wherever they went, he followed. The guests took their time to look around the place, it was bigger and better than my founding company in London, as it was meant to be. A lot of people walked over towards me, apologizing for not standing up for me earlier. I could only smile and tell them it was alright. They made it too obvious that they were only after what would benefit them. Well, so was I. Fabian walked over towards me, his seductive lips curving into a smile. "You handled that too well." I arched my brow. "What?" "You made them kick themselves out. It was really smart of you." There was a gentle smile on his lips. He had the kind of smile that intoxicated you and made you smile as well even if you were once angry. Like he was
