My Ex-Wife Regrets Betraying Me! CHAPTER 16
It was finally D-Day for the banquet. Walking side by side with his father, Jonathan made his way into the building which was already getting filled up with the invited guests. Since it was his first time attending an occasion of this sort, he was overwhelmed. He kept looking around as he avoided bumping into people who were moving about. “How is business going?” Gray asked, casting him a brief stare. Since they met at the entrance of the building, this was the first time they were speaking. “I just began… I don't think I have an answer for that.” He muttered, biting his lower lips. Meeting up with the demanding job was draining and he had to keep up with it, lest he forfeited taking over the family business. “In between, you should get yourself a car. Shuttling around in a taxi doesn't speak well of you. People will find it difficult to acknowledge you since you act like them.” He huffed, laying emphasis on the last word. Chuckling lightly, Jonathan pushed his hand into his p

Exchanging glances between Jonathan and Williams, Ariel kept waiting for who was going to give the slightest hint of what was going on but both of them were mute. Unable to bear it anymore, she slammed her fist against the table but before she could start running her mouth, Williams cut in. “Excuse us.” His voice was stern and cold. “I wonder what is going on.” Ariel muttered and after one last look at them, she took her leave. Gripping the edge of the table, William kept darting his eyes around as he tried to calm himself down. Jonathan on the other hand was unperturbed as he kept swirling the content of his glass. “We need to speak.” William broke the silence, still seething. “I have been waiting for you to start the conversation.” Jonathan shrugged, his overall attitude was making William lose his head but since they were in the public, he couldn't do anything. “Let's talk outside.” He suggested and Jonathan didn't hesitate to follow him. The moment they got out of the buil

It was like the whole world crashing on Williams shoulder as he wished for the ground to open up and swallow him alive but that never happened. Gulping, he pushed his hand into his hair as he reached out for his phone. The only person he could think of calling was his father, he was the only one that could help him out of the mess he had created for himself. Just when he was about to dial his phone, Ariel walked in, her hands across her chest. “You see what you have brought upon yourself.” She said in a mocking tone, looking him over. He wanted to speak to defend himself but he couldn't as his tongue was tied. “I'm disappointed in you…” She broke into tears only to push Williams off when he tried to touch her. “You stink.” She yelled in his face, wielding her middle finger at him. “Ariel please hear me out.” He called after her but she kept walking. “Believe me it's just a ploy to dent my name… we could have settled this amicably but he decided to make a mountain out of a molehi

“Williams!” She exclaimed, gasping for breath when she finally found her tongue to speak. “I’m sorry but that is the truth. If I had known something of this sort was going to happen, I would have adopted her from you.” Williams' words kept sharding Sarah’s heart until it was broken completely. With her eyes welled up in tears, she slid through the couch to the floor with a thud. Sobbing uncontrollably now, she began to rewind how their relationship had begun and how it is ending now. Disheveled, she tried to speak to him but she couldn't find her tongue to do so. When the news of his cheating scandal came online she was grateful because she felt he was finally going to introduce her to the public and then she wouldn't have to go about in shame when she crossed paths with Jonathan but the reverse was the case. “We need to call off our relationship now.” Williams broke the silence in the living room. “You can't do that, Williams. You can't break me completely…” She cried in angu

Jonathan and his father were already at the entrance of his mansion to welcome the Logan's when they arrived. “You're welcome to my humble abode.” Gray said, shaking hands with Harrison before doing the same to Williams who was fidgeting behind him. “You're welcome!” Jonathan said, repeating his father's action. Now seated in the dining room, the men talked while they ate while Jonathan and Williams exchanged glances. This wasn't the initial plan but since his father had decided to involve himself, Jonathan decided to exploit it to the fullest, that was why he invited them for dinner. Wiping his mouth with the serviette next to his plate, Jonathan rose, pushing his chair backwards. “Are you leaving?” Gray asked, looking up from his plate. “No, I need to make a call.” He replied and with a curt bow, he took his leave. Thinking Jonathan was on the move again, Williams left the table, running after him. When he succeeded in cornering him, he placed his hand on his shoulder, pinni

After watching the news airing on TV for a few minutes, Sarah rose, stomping her feet on the floor. With her middle finger pointed in his direction, she yelled, “I can't believe your father stripped you of your position because of a riff raff who he can easily handle. She was speaking to Williams who was sitting on a couch at that time. Pushing her hand into her hair, she walked from one end of the living room to the other before she finally decided to settle in front of him. “Come on Williams, you can't sit back and watch this uncircumcised son of bitch to strip you of everything you have worked hard for.” She huffed. “You have to step up to your game and take over.” She yelled, stomping her feet to drive home her words. Williams, who was already fuming with anger, grasped the edge of the couch so he wouldn't do anything drastic.Sarah, unable to read the situation, continued her little drama, irking him even more. When he couldn't put up with her act anymore, he slammed his f

Sarah kept dialing and redialing Jonathan's contact but the lines were not connecting. When it seemed she wouldn't be able to reach out to him if she kept calling his phone, she decided to go meet with him in the company. On arrival, she strode towards the elevator, not knowing the exact floor his office was located. Luckily for her, when she got off on the fifth floor, Jonathan was standing in front of the elevator. He had just finished a meeting with the board of directors and was heading back to his office. Pushing his hand into his pockets, he titled his head to the side as he wondered what her mission was. “Why are you ignoring me?” She huffed, crossing her hands on her chest, momentarily forgetting what her mission was.“You're married now, I shouldn't be snooping around someone else's wife.” He smacked his lips as he brushed past her but she was quick to pull him back. “You're the lunatic who involved Ariel Lopez in our relationship right?” With her middle finger pointed

Williams, not wanting to lose on all sides, decided to make peace with Ariel. He tried to reach out to her several times but each time he did, his call was directed to voicemail. He didn't need anyone to tell him she was with Jonathan, making him furious but there was nothing he could do about it.Pacing the length of his family mansion, he has his hands resting on his waist as he awaited his father who had agreed to grant him audience after several pleas. Immediately Harrison arrived, he didn't waste time in running to his side only to receive a cold shoulder. “Be snappy with whatever you want to say, I’m busy.” He huffed, walking hurriedly through the hallway. “Father please, I need you to help me.” He took a deep breath and with his hand stuck up in his head, he said, “Ariel left me for him. I have been trying to mend our relationship but she is unwilling to listen to me.” He groaned as Harrison watched him with his hands crossed. “Can you listen to it yourself?” He scowled, r

The gasps and side comments were getting intense and Precious wasn't helping matters as she was mute and also wore a calm expression. “Are you indeed the culprit?” Karlyx asked. He was standing by her side at the moment. “Nope! I want to use the bathroom.” Relieved, Karlyx exhaled as he pushed his head backwards. Crossing his hands, he informed them that she wasn't the culprit and once again there was murmuring in the hall as everyone wanted to speak at the same time. Vina kept sipping from her bottle while Karl clenched and unclenched his fists as his heart rammed against his chest. Solomon did nothing to end the suspense, rather he took the chair next to Jonathan and then plopped on it. With his hands crossed on the table, he asked, “What should I do next?”“We should allow them to confess as planned.” He muttered. Smirking, Solomon leaned in and with a voice barely above a whisper, he said, “You have no idea who you are dealing with.” “They aren't going to say a word as the

Getting to the boardroom, it was already packed to the brim with the staff who were itching to find out what the meeting was all about. Seated on the elevated platform were a handful of board of directors, shareholders and then the managerial team of the mall. Vina kept scrolling through her iPad, trying to take her mind off the handsome young man she had encountered earlier. Deep down, she felt a connection like they had known each other before now but the issue was, she couldn't place the connection. He kept looking strange to her when in the real sense he was familiar. Using the butt of her pencil to scratch the bridge of her nostrils, she raised her head just in time to see Pearl pulling out a seat for him on the table she sat on too. Since she was sitting next to Karl, she held his arm, urging him to look in their direction which he did. “That should be Jonathan Gray.” He mumbled as he peered at them. “No way! What is going on here?” He gulped. It seemed like his senses ha

Jonathan and Pearl exchanged glances before returning their gazes to Vina who was still fuming in anger. Stepping forward, Pearl cooed, “You should get a grip of yourself dear.” She went further to say, “No one here is a petty thief and moreover, you didn't walk past with your car key, you should look around more carefully.” Despite her mild tone, Vina was still furious and wanted to hit her but Jonathan stepped in, suspending her hand mid air. “You shouldn't be acting out of board young lady.” He snapped. “Like she said, no one is a petty thief and you shouldn't go around trying to defame someone.” He pushed her aside, and at once an angry Vina raised her head. For a moment, she kept staring at Jon as anger raked through her. Just when he thought she had finally recognized the man in front of her, he exhaled. “If I don't get to find my keys, both of you will remain in the holding cell until I do.” She huffed and then stormed away in fury. Frustrated, Pearl tossed her head aside

CHAPTER 37
Armed with evidence which was enough to put an end to Vina Leighton and Karl Smith's streak, Jonathan called for a general meeting of all staff in the mall. From the lowly janitor to the manager, they all were to converge at the hall for a brief meeting before the mall would be reopened again. That morning while Jonathan was getting ready for work, Ariel walked up to him, wrapping her hands around his waist with her head placed on his back. “These days you’ve been scarce, is everything alright?” She asked, her tone dripping with sincerity. For the last few days, she had been trying to have a little chit chat with him but before he would return home, she was already in bed and before she woke up the next day, he was off. “Yeah!” Jonathan nodded, taking her hands off his waist gently. Swirling around to face her, he placed his hand on her shoulder, “You shouldn't bother about me, I’m absolutely fine.” “Hazel misses you, you should try to create time for her.” She said as she remov

With an alarmed look on her face, Vina plopped on the couch next to him as she leaned forward. “What are you talking about?” She asked her heart, ramming against her chest as she darted her eyes around, hoping it shouldn't be what she was thinking. “They suddenly barged in, I had no prior information of their presence.” He exhaled as Vina peered at him, waiting for him to spill what she wanted to hear. “You know I trust my instincts so well, I had to send the documents to you this morning. They didn't find anything on me, I'm grateful for that.” He muttered while she sighed in relief. “By the way, I have a bit of explanation concerning the content of those documents.” When she didn't respond, he asked, “Were they here too?” “Yes.” She nodded, the look on his face going sour. Vina didn't need anyone to tell her Karl was scared, the look on his face was enough and it was as if he was going to pass out the next second. Feigning to have really flopped, she bent her head and then be

CHAPTER 35
The next day, having booked an appointment with Harrison the previous day, Jonathan made his way to his office to meet with him.Before his arrival, Harrison had made sure he informed the protocol at the gate to treat him with respect and that was exactly what they did. Now seated opposite him in his spacious office, Jonathan was swirling the content of his mug with his gaze on Harrison who was itching to hear what he had to say. “About Williams, I’m sorry.” Jonathan kick-started the conversation.“You don't need to apologize. He deserves what came for him and I can attest to the fact that he is still learning his lessons.” Nodding his head in rhythm, Jonathan took a sip from his mug before fixing his gaze on him. “I need your help in getting the prosecution to perform a search and seizure on my shopping mall.” Laughing softly, Harrison titled his head to the side before saying, “I can't believe you booked an appointment just to say this to me when you could easily have said it o

CHAPTER 34
As usual, the meeting didn't end on a good note as Raiden and Karlyx were furious with Gray’s decision of involving Jonathan on a task Karlyx had been assigned to. Pulling himself up, Raiden took his position in the middle of the living room with his gaze fixated on Gray who was unperturbed.“Father! This is unfair.” He howled like a wolf in distress. “What is unfair? I should be the one saying that to you considering the fact that you two wasted three whole years on a single project.” “But Jonathan hasn't even completed the first project you assigned to him, what makes you think that he is better than us.”“His intellect and he had proved beyond every reasonable doubt that he will be able handle the issue at the mall.” Gray said in defense, hitting his palm against the couch. Shutting his eyes even more tightly, Jonathan had his lips pressed more tightly against each other as anger coursed through him. He believed Gray was fully aware of what he was doing and the impact it was h

First, it was Solomon who wore a stoic expression and then Jonathan whose face was still reddened from the impact of the slap. “You did this?” Solomon asked Vina who was darting her eyes around like she had been caught in an unholy act. “I deserve a response, don't you think?” He leaned over her table, his whole gaze on her as she trembled. “Sir, I didn't intend to hit him but I couldn't hold back when he wanted to hit me. We had a little issue which resulted in an exchange of words, he tried to hit me first but I countered it.” Pointing at Karl, she said, “Thanks for his timely intervention, otherwise, I would have been badly beaten.” She rapped. “Jonathan!” Solomon yelled, glaring at him while he had his head buried to the ground. With her hand folded in front of her, Pearl did a quick bow and then scurried out, followed by Jonathan who had been sent out by Solomon. Jonathan was heading towards the janitor's room when Pearl grabbed his arm, pulling him to a corner. When she

CHAPTER 32
Jonathan had just finished taking out the ashtray on Karl's table when he walked in with another stub of cigarette in between his lips. “Good morning sir.” Jonathan hailed as he prepared to push his cart away since he had finished cleaning for the day. Karl didn't only ignore him, he threw the remaining stub of cigarette on the floor and as if that was not enough, used the sole of his shoe to crush it. Enraged by this singular act, Jonathan grabbed the handle of his cart more tightly. So as not to explode in anger, he decided to act like he didn't witness it but Karl wasn't going to let him be. “Aren't you going to clean up the ash from the floor?” He barked, glaring at Jonathan's back. With a forced smile, Jonathan returned his gaze to him, “Pardon!” He said, acting like he had no idea about what was going on. “The ash, you need to clean it.” He said, pointing at the floor which he had smeared with the black substance. Jonathan was about to ask him to clean up the mess himself
