“Looks like my day has come to meet you. Besides, we also have some previous things we have to talk about.” A smirk appeared on Dorian’s face as he thought about the reaction Emily would show after seeing Dorian like this.
Dorian drove to the house where he used to live with Emily after he got married to her.
Dorian had been honest with her all along and never lied to her that he had a lot of money or anything like that, but Emily never cared about him saying that and just shrugged it off.
He thought that maybe she really loved him, that's why she didn't even care if he had money or not.
Sitting there in his car, he suddenly had a flashback and all the scenes of him with his wife started running in his mind.
FLASHBACK:
After finishing his last class of the day, Dorian dragged himself out of class. As he was walking in the corridor, he saw Emily standing there at a distance. Seeing Dorian, she widely smiled at him and waved her hand at him like she was standing there waiting for him.
Putting his bag up on his one shoulder, Dorian walked towards her.
"Hey, Mr. Would you like to have some ice cream with me?" Emily had her both arms beside her as she gave him a wide smile.
"Sure, miss." Dorian, too, laughed at her cute way of asking.
Both of them then went to the cafeteria of the college and ordered some ice cream.
"So Mr. I heard you like me too now." She had a hint of mischievousness on her face.
"Yeah, I do, but I also know that you are way out of my league. I am just a poor, broke boy while you are the prettiest and wealthiest girl of college who everyone wants to date." Dorian scratched the back of his head, feeling sad and embarrassed.
Although he was embarrassed saying that, he just agreed with it because it was a fact.
Hearing that, Emily immediately said back, "You keep saying to me that you are broke, but I don't really believe you. You're just trying to impress me with your "mysterious" act. I know that."
"No, really Emily. I don't have much money. I'm just a struggling guy trying to make ends meet."
Emily chuckled as she reached across the table to touch his hand.
"Well, Mr. Mysterious and Broke, you have already caught my attention. Money isn't everything, you know? What matters is the person who is with you and I want you." Dorian could see sincerity in her eyes and for a moment, he felt like his heart would jump out of his chest and run away from there.
Emily, on the other hand, thought, 'I am sure he is trying to make himself that poor guy just to check if I want him for his money or not. Thank God I already did a background check on him, so I didn't fall for this trap. Seeing the look on his face, I think he already fell for my words. I should try more.'
Dorian looked into her eyes, he was still captivated by her sincerity and kindness. He began to think that maybe she really liked him; she didn't really care about his financial status.
'OMG! I feel like I am the luckiest guy in the whole world.' Dorian had tears in his eyes as he thought about that.
"You really mean that, don't you?" He asked her again, still not believing the fact that the goddess in front of him was proposing to him.
"Of course, I do. I've always believed that love is way bigger than wealth. And besides, we can figure things out later and that too together. So don't worry about these things yet and just focus on me."
The sincerity in her words fills Dorian's heart with hope. In that moment, he believed that maybe, just maybe, he had found someone who truly valued him and didn't see him as a bastard.
FLASHBACK ENDED.
Dorian sighed. "How naïve I was to think that she really loved me and wanted me."
Realizing that he had already reached his destination, he parked the car in front of Emily's house and got out of the car.
The house he once used to call home. Now everything felt unknown to him. Even though the house wasn't that huge, it was comfortable to live in. Emily's father gifted her that house when she married Dorian.
He too thought that Dorian was a rich boy, just acting like he was poor.
Emily was already standing outside and saw Dorian coming in a luxurious car and in decent and expensive clothes. She was extremely shocked. Her face became red and bloated. She didn’t know how Dorian got all this.
"What the hell is he doing here now? And acting all rich now?" Emily rolled her eyes as she made her way to him.
'She really is a gold digger. Instead of looking at me, she is looking at that car.' Dorian rolled his eyes too at her.
Dorian now had more money and wealth than the person for which she had abandoned Dorian. She felt a combination of anger and envy.
“What are you doing here?” Emily asked Dorian in a furious voice.
Dorian was no longer a weak person. He was now strong and confident. He decided to give a shut-up call to Emily.
“Shut up. I only came here to break all ties with you.” Dorian retorted at Emily furiously.
Emily was taken aback by his sudden outburst. She was speechless and had nothing to say in response.
Emily was confused and shocked. She was eager to know how Dorian got all this.
“Do you have any explanation of how you got all this?” Emily taunted Dorian.
“I don’t owe you any explanation” Dorian was silent for a few seconds, trying to find the right words to say. He looked at Emily, sighed, and said to her.
Emily was not able to believe anything that was happening at that time. She thought that he was trying to fake it all.
Dorian saw the disbelief in Emily's eyes and he knew that he had to speak up. He looked into her eyes and said, “I swear I'm telling the truth”.
“I know your reality. These things would not work on me,” she asked Dorian with a firm voice.
"You have to prove it to me," she said to Dorian.
“You have all things in front of your eyes. You just don't want to accept it,” Dorian asked in a firm voice.
She looked away and sighed. "I see what you mean," she said quietly. "But I still need proof before I can accept it."
Emily thought that he was trying to impress her to win her again, but Dorian was very firm towards his ambitions. He was clear in his mind what he wanted to do. Emily was taken aback by his determination and started looking at him differently. She realised that he had grown since they last met.
“I just want to get rid of you, that's why I have come here”. Dorian told Emily, as she was stunned.
Emily was surprised to hear this, but she knew that Dorian was serious. She was moved by his courage and dedication, and she started to understand why he had come back.
“Thank god you came here yourself, otherwise I was going to call my lawyer and go through legal procedures. I know it would be a tough decision to divorce me but you don’t really have a choice now, do you?” Emily mocked him.
A wide smirk appeared on her face, but it soon disappeared as she heard what Dorian said to her next.
“How delusional are you? You think I would still want a gold digger like you? You are nothing in my eyes now and my love for you died the moment I saw you with that man in that house. You are nothing but a bitch.” Dorian put pressure on his last words so that she can register each and every word he said to her in her brain.
He spat those words at her with so much venom in his tone that for a moment she was taken back. She was expecting him to come at her and beg for her love again but the story here was going different.
Instead of begging her, he was throwing her away himself.
‘Where did he find this new courage from? He never spoke to me like this before.’
Emily gritted her teeth and now finally spoke back, “How dare you?”
Taking some steps towards him, she looked at him directly in his eyes, “You are nothing but a bastard wanted by no one. I let you stay here with me and let you enjoy such a luxurious life while instead of being thankful, you are calling me a gold digger? Bloody bastard. A child of a slut like you doesn't even deserve to stand in front of me.”
Dorian’s eyes went wide hearing that. His hands turned into a fist as he was ready to punch that girl in front of him. He was just about to go towards her when suddenly the lawyer arrived.Dorian had also brought his lawyer with him. He called out to him before he even got out of the house and told him the location where he had to come to. He asked the lawyer to get the divorce papers ready and bring them with him. “Sir, the divorce papers are ready. Would you like to go inside and sign them?” The lawyer asked, stepping beside Dorian. “No. I don’t want to go to a house where bitch like her lives. I will sign it here.” With that, Dorian got the divorce papers from the lawyer’s hands. Putting the papers on the bonnet of the car, he signed them with no feelings for that girl anymore. After hearing what she had just said to him, he wasn't even sad any longer. “Looks like I am free again. Fake people are out of my life now.” With a smile plastered on his face Dorian turned around an
Dorian reached out where his classmate was sitting. He crossed his legs as he smirked at the expression on Alex's face. "Is this Dorian?" Alex asked again, wondering if his friend had already changed. Alex couldn't believe he had turned out like this. "Or maybe he is just fake?" Alex wondered. Alex decided not to bring up such a topic since he believed there was no way he could lay hands on such a type of cloth. Alex believed he borrowed it to show off and that is what people do nowadays. "So how is your wife? I heard you married months ago?" Alex requested as Dorian chuckled while sipping from the drink placed on the table. "I don't have a wife anymore." Dorian answered him without remorse, looking at the street filled with moving cars. Alex joined him to look at the street alongside him. "I guess she left you because of your miserable life!" Alex waited for a response from Dorian. Dorian realized how ignorant Alex was about him. His fingers moved from left to right on the tab
"Tesla? The latest one? Who can then be the owner of the car?" Alex asked as he looked around hoping to see the owner of the car in one glimpse. "What if the person is dressed casually?" Thiago asked as Alex stopped looking around. "I need to know who the person is so we can connect. You understand?" Alex explained further while Dorian was looking at the foolishly. Dorian couldn't blame them. They believed it was not possible for him to be rich. "You should get going now! We need to figure out some things and you are the one holding us back." Alex scratched his head as he told Dorian. "I'm sorry but I need the company, which is why I am here! I have the money and I'm going to buy it." Dorian clarified the issue. "You mean the money you got from your wife? Stop acting all bossy, we are known you are a shadow to your wife. I guess she must have sent you here." Thiago stated as he rolled his eyes in disgust. "They got divorce already." Alex informed him as Thiago covered his mouth
"Yeah, I'm going to resign from my job." He informed his manager at the pizza company.Dorian decided to meet his boss at his office and tell him he would be quitting. There is no need for him to work there anymore since he will own his company soon and he has a lot to focus on now."How are you going to cope? I heard your wife divorced you?" His manager asked him as he scoffed at his statement."Thanks for expressing your care for me. I wouldn't want to quit my job if I didn't have something else I put my mind on. Thanks for accepting me." He said bowing his head as he walked out of the office.When he was looking for a job then and no one was willing to accept him, it was his boss that accepted him and he loved that about him.He was in his car already as he drove off to his house. He wondered how his life was going to be. He wondered if he would continue living this way?He wondered what would happen if he didn't need money anymore. He has money and he will make sure to utilize it
"I don't really like the structure also. Can you take me to the best building? Don't worry about the price." Dorian complained about the company building Alex took him to. This is the third building he will be going to and he doesn't like it"If I'm taking you to the best, you will pay extra money." Alex informed him and that is no problem for Dorian."I didn't say I couldn't pay." Dorian answered him."Okay then let's go." Alex instructed and they all came out of the building. Ever since they have been moving from one place to another, Thiago hasn't talked or said anything.Dorian entered back into his car as he drove off. They all insisted on taking Dorian's car, which they did. Dorian got to the place in just a few minutes and the exterior design was really captivating for him.He really can't wait for how the interior design is going to look like. Alex led the way as he followed him and they got to the entrance of the building. Dorian has never entered a building so big, but he lo
"My source of wealth isn't your business. I came here to tell you something by the way!" Dorian informed his parents as they patiently waited for him to say whatever he wanted to say."You treated me like I'm not your son, you disregarded me and made everyone disrespect me since when I was a kid and that's why I'm not going to treat you like my father. No matter what happens don't you very regard me as your son?" He flared up telling his father his mind. Tears filled his eyes then he walked back to his house.His father on the other hand hadn't felt bad that way before. He felt he had wronged his son greatly."Do not mind his words, he is just trying to make you feel bad for nothing. You did nothing wrong and everyone would have done that to their son also." Emilia tried to calm him down by assuring him he hadn't done anything wrong."We have to go now or we will be late." She patted her husband back telling him to move.Dorian watched them from the open door as they walked into the c
The next morning,Dorian woke up at his own preferred time. He slept like a baby again and he was so pleased. He remembered what the maid was saying about him as he scratched his head in frustration.Nothing gives him more joy than seeing that money in his account as usual. He took his phone off the nightstand wanting to look at his notifications. It was a shock that he didn't see any money there.He stood up from the bed hurriedly checking his phone again but there wasn't any money. He became so scared thinking he might have made one or two mistakes but it wasn't long before he received an alert."Gracious!" He heaved a deep sigh of relief at seeing the money entered late."That is why I need to set up a business because I don't know what can happen to the system again." He said to himself. He took a good look at his room again. Happiness filled his heart.Looking at the well furnished mirror stand, and the comfy king size bed, a smile crept up on his face. The bedroom was 2 times bi
"Good morning! I am looking for Mr. Dorian." The young lady said interrupting Ella's thoughts."Uhmm...uhmm what meeting do you have with him?" Ella asked her trying to act bossy since she used "Mr" for"Let her enter." Dorian commanded her after hearing everything that had been happening. Ella opened the door immediately upon hearing his command. Dorian saw the young lady wondering if she would be able to do her job well.She walked elegantly towards him."I am Sia." She introduced herself to him."Nice meeting you Sia, you can have your seat." He ordered her as she did."Get us a nice coffee." He ordered Ella. Ella felt completely embarrassed by her actions especially the fact she tried to question who she was when she figured out she wasn't his girlfriend.She walked to the kitchen meeting other maids there."Who was that?" One of the maids asked immediately after they spotted Ella in the kitchen."I don't know, she looks new...perhaps she is one of us." Ella guessed rolling her ey
