My Ex-Wife Regrets Betraying Me! CHAPTER 21
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 next morning, Sarah woke up with a wince, holding her head with both hands as it banged non stop. It was as if her head was going to split open the next second. “Oh dear, I need to figure out my life now.” She muttered, throwing her feet off the bed. Staggering, she made her way to the bathroom and after her morning routine and taking pain relief, the pain which she felt subsided. Still in her bedroom, she heard the doorbell ring.Thinking it was Williams who had come for her, she hurried down the stairs only to be greeted with a strange man dressed in a three piece suit. Taking her eyes downward a bit, she saw the logo of the Williams family's law firm. “Is everything alright?” She found herself asking as she stared at the man in front of her. Pushing a file towards her, he said, “You have three days to vacate the building as the ownership has been handed to my client, Williams Logan.” Wearing a look of confusion, Sarah shook her head. With a little smile, she said, “I’m

Three weeks later…Going through the documents Divah had submitted to him earlier, Jonathan had his whole attention on it as he tried to comprehend its content. Working at Blue Net gave him a lot of exposure that he never thought existed thereby challenging him to give in his all. “Sir, you have a phone call.” Divah interrupted his solitude, poking her head into his office. “Take the call, I need to concentrate.” He said, not bothering to look in her direction for even a minute. “It's from Mr. Gray, he sounded urgent a while ago.” Rolling his eyes, Jonathan pushed his chair backwards as he pulled out his phone from his pocket. Waving the device in front of her, he said, “I will call him from here.” “Okay sir.” She replied and then scurried off. Standing behind the window with a hand tucked in his pocket, Jonathan allowed his eyes to roam around his vicinity as he waited for the lines to connect. Immediately it did, he stood upright, “Father, is there an issue?” He asked, his b

For the remaining minutes to the end of dinner, no one said a word to the other as they focused on their food. Jonathan was the first to leave the table, followed by Raiden who ran after him.Grabbing him by the cuff of his shirt, he shoved him roughly on the wall, “You think you are smart huh!” He snarled, his eyes reddened in anger. “I have no idea what you are talking about.” Jonathan replied calmly. He wouldn't want to exchange fists with him for whatever reason. “You went behind us and struck a deal with father.” He pushed him aside and still fuming with anger, he began to pace to and fro as he clenched and unclenched his fists. Pushing his hand forward, he wanted to send his fist into Jonathan's face but he was quick to duck before he got hit. Surprised at his speed, Raiden attempted his earlier action for the second time but the result was still the same. “I can see you have grown big.” He laughed, rubbing his palms as an evil grin appeared on his lips. “Believe me when

The next morning, Jonathan was dressed in casual clothes since he wasn't going to the Blue Net, rather, he was going to resume as a janitor in the shopping mall. Solomon had ensured that everything he needed was put in place and also informed the head of the janitor's. When he arrived, with the aid of the description Solomon had given to him, Jonathan was able to locate the store. “Good morning, I'm supposed to resume today.” He was speaking to the lady who was in charge of the store house. In front of her was a laptop which she was scrolling through as she sipped from her cup of coffee. When she didn't respond to Jonathan's words, he repeated himself a few more times until she slammed her fist against the table, glaring angrily at him. “Can't you see I’m busy?” She scoffed, rolling her eyes at him. “I'm sorry ma’am.” He quickly apologized as he stepped backwards with his head bowed. Since Solomon was the one who had put a word for him, he wasn't expecting her re

Thinking it was all over, Jonathan exhaled in relief, wiping off the beads of perspiration that had gathered on his forehead. “That was close.” He muttered. Just when he was about to resume work, Divah appeared in front of him. “Sir.” She called, crossing her hands on her chest as her face contorted with a look of surprise and confusion. When she saw him the first time, she didn't believe her eyes until she got a closer look of him, strengthening her conviction. “I received an email this morning saying you would be unavailable for a month since you have a business class to be part of.” She reeled, the confusion on her face still etched on it. “It's not what you think.” Jonathan said, racking his brain on the perfect tale to say to her but his head was blank. He couldn't tell her his plans and not only that he didn't want anyone to know what he was up to. Rubbing his nape, he chuckled a bit as he tried to steal away but she was quick to pull him back. “I'm sorry but you can't l

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

CHAPTER 39
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

CHAPTER 38
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
