Donald's POV “I think we should go on the offensive,” Jake informed me, staring avidly at the papers. “Which lawyer did she get again?” I asked, biting down on my lower lip.Ever since Jake had told me that Rose got a new lawyer to represent her during the court proceedings, I had not been able to think about anything else.Part of the reason why I was so confident that I would smash the case is because of her lack of money and the inability to get herself a good lawyer but now that she has one… I'm dreading just thinking about the opportunities.“Mr Greene, I don't think this is what we should be focusing on right now.” He cleared his throat, chuckling nervously. “If we channeled more of our energy into why the divorce should not take place instead of why it should-” “Please just tell me who it is!” I raised my voice a decibel, unable to take the thought of him talking for another second, plus, it's hard to think about anything else when you're fixated on one thing.“It's John And

Donald’s POVAs I was resolved to fight Rose publicly in court, deep down I knew that this wasn't the best course of action to take. I couldn't deny the fact that I loved her and the child that she was carrying could be mine.A couple of years ago, I made a promise to myself that I would try as much as possible so that if I had a child, they wouldn't end up in a broken home.I was a result of a broken home and till now, it's still taking me time to leave behind some habits and move on with certain things and I never want my child to go through that.Having that at the back of my mind, I resolved to reach out to Rose the next day and try to talk to her.The least that I could do… I owe my kids, I was to try one last time and I decided to go all out.My strategy was to make it a late lunch so it would evolve into dinner and after a couple turns of wine, I hoped she would be receptive to what I had to say.Running down the stairs, I stopped by the kitchen to talk to Esmeralda with a l

Donald’s POVThings were just going from bad to worse.After the dinner that I had with Rose, I had hoped that we would come to an understanding even though I later turned down her offer but that wasn't the case.The thing is, I knew that if I had allowed her back into my space, it wouldn't be because I had truly forgiven her but I was too scared of allowing this divorce issue to ride on for too long, dragging both our names in the mud.It would take a really strong and loving person to come back after what Rose did and if I had been honest with myself, I wasn't quite there yet.As I spoke, I saw the disappointment in her eyes, her emotions shutting off immediately I turned her down but I went on irrespective of her feelings.The dinner ended shortly after that, and since then I hadn't heard from Rose.I kept calling and leaving tons of messages each day but somehow she kept on ignoring me. The only time I heard from her was through her lawyer, passing along a court message.I feared

Donald’s POVI had about a couple of weeks before we would officially take the matter to court and begin the process in front of a judge and all of that but before that took place, I had one more trick up my sleeve.I wanted to avoid this going public for several reasons but the one that topped my list would be that I wouldn't want to put Rose and her family through that type of scandal.This was my one last appeal.If nothing came out of this, I would understand that the gloves were off.Canceling all my plans today in the office since yesterday, I was free to do what I wanted.Namely, visit Rose's parents.I made sure nothing from them before coming so they wouldn't bring up some ideas to cancel.Sure showing up at the house was a bit risky, but it's not like I had any other choice.When I pulled up to the gate, the security guard asked me to wind down and I did.His face reflected his surprise when he saw me, most especially because I stormed out angrily the last time. “S-sir…welco

Donald's POV “Mr Greene, can we have about a moment?”“Mr Greene, over here!”“How do you feel about going to the court seeking divorce from your wife, sir?”Reporters everywhere were yelling out my name in the hopes that I might turn to one of them and respond but I was in no mood. My sunglasses were on my face, shielding me from the onlookers pitying glances.Today was the last day of the quiet proceedings whereby the lawyers would give us a verdict.Either Rose won the case or I did.In the car, I couldn't stop fidgeting, tugging down on my sleeve repeatedly while the car cruised down the road.“You worry too much, you'll be fine. Trust me.” Jake told me, relaxing in the smooth leather car seats, sipping his whiskey.Relax?“This is my life we're talking about here, okay? If Rose wins the case, she automatically takes half of my money, properties, and companies… so forgive me if I'm a little bit nervous.” I spat out a little bit harshly.Jake didn't have anything to worry about b
