2024-10-29 19:42:56"I told you, he doesn't deserve you. For some damn reason you stayed with his sorry ass for too long. Wait a minute, was he that good in bed or you are just into poor men?"
said Sarah. Lisa had invited over her elder sister, Sarah and her aunt, Josephine, the next day, and told them she had finally broken the divorce news to her husband.
"Hahahaha" Lisa laughed
"You should have seen his face, when he walked in on I and Don Michaelson, having a wonderful time. The fool thought he was going to surprise me on my birthday. But hah! There was a surprise, just wasn't for me though".
"Darling, I'm just finally glad you left his broke sorry ass. Finally, Don Michaelson will officially be my in-law. I'm going to ask him to buy me a Mercedes Benz. I mean, after all, he can afford it, and not a church rat like your husband, or should I say, soon to be ex-husband, Pedro, who can't buy me as much as a bottle of wine".
Her aunt Josephine said, while sipping her wine from her glass.
"But where is he? I was hoping to see him outside crying like a baby, when we arrived. Boy! I would have made him feel more sad. That boy must have used some kind of love portion on you, Lisa. I mean, two years, two solid years you gave him".
Sarah said, while she looked at the pictures of Pedro and Lisa, which were hunged up the wall of the living room.
"The fool left the house. He finally got the memo that he was no longer needed in my life. He is lucky my Sweetness, Don Michaelson wasn't offended by the whole ordeal, because even the devil knows I can be a bitch. I would have smashed his poverty stricken head open with a bottle. Fool trying to block my source of happiness".
Lisa replied Sarah as she took a sip from her glass of wine.
"Hah! You mean, our source of happiness?"
Sarah jokingly said to Lisa. For they had always wanted Don Michaelson to be Lisa's husband and their in-law. Lisa's aunt, Josephine, was a greedy and self-centered woman, who was in her mid 50s, had been married 3 times and filed for divorce 3 times, just to split the wealth of her ex-husbands.
However, she could never hold on to the monies she got from the divorces, that she orchestrated, because she was one who lived lavishly, always buying the fanciest hand bags, clothes, shoes and spending unnecessarily."Darling. There's this house I saw online. A duplex, state of the arts interior, spacious backyard with a befitting swimming pool for a hottie such as myself. I already contacted the agent who put up the property for sale. Sweetheart can you please talk to our in-law, your husband-to-be, Don Michaelson, to buy this little gift for me? I already know he won't say no to me, because he is a millionaire. Oh, what am I even saying? He is a billionaire".
Josephine had a bucket list written down, saved on her phone she wanted Don Michaelson to get her. The house and the Mercedes Benz was just two amongst the long list of things she planned getting from Don Michaelson. For she was too greedy to have a short list.
"Did he leave with anything?"
Sarah asked her younger sister, Lisa."No, he didn't. Though he did leave with one thing. He left with his best friend"
Lisa replied.
"Really? A best friend? Who is that?"
Sarah asked
"Poverty!"
Lisa replied, laughing out so loudly. She had taken too much of the wine and was a little drunk.
"Hahahaha. I bet when he was born, he had poverty as a twin brother, born on the same day with him".
They had their laughs, making mockery of Pedro, all through the afternoon. They were so elated that he was gone, so much that he was the topic of their conversation through out the day. At evening of that day, Pedro came over the house. He had come to pick up his credentials and certain documents. He knocked on the door, and Lisa was the one who came to open it.
"Well look who we have here. If it isn't the Prince of poverty himself".
Josephine had already started off with the insults. He barely had come in, but he was already getting tongue whipped by Josephine.
"What are you doing here?! You bag of bad luck. You won't let me my sister go? She said she's no longer interested in your poor ass. Go away! Looser"
Sarah was far drunk, acting almost in an aggressive manner towards him. She got up and approached him, with her glass still in her hand. She was so intoxicated, she couldn't walk properly, staggering towards Pedro, like she was going to physically attack him.
"I'm sure your father was a poor man, else where did you inherit this poverty from? My God, he rigs of it! Auntie, can't you smell it? He is soaked in it. The stench of poverty is on this loser and he is contaminating the house with it".
At that moment, Sarah detested him, even more than Josephine did.
"I am just here to take my credentials. I'm sorry I left initially without taking them. I just want to take it and leave. I didn't mean to intrude on you".
Pedro said to Lisa, not paying concern to Sarah and Josephine.
"Why are you telling me? You know where you kept those accursed things you call credentials. How can one even say he is having credentials, yet nothing in his pockets to show for being educated. So much for being educated. It is mostly the ones who claim to be most knowledgeable and educated, that ends up being the ones with little to no money. Better get those unimportant papers of yours, get the hell out, before I change my mind and let Sarah have a go at you. You can see how angry you are getting her already. Your presence here irritates us".
Lisa, tongue lashing him as well. She still had that look of disguts in her eyes for him. Seeing her in that mood, Pedro almost felt like he did the previous day, but he held himself and never showed any form of emotion, so they won't see him anymore of a looser than they already did. He quickly went upstairs, went into their bedroom, got his credentials and the other documents he needed, came downstairs, headed out without uttering a word to any of the ladies, inclusive of his wife.
Truly, he discovered for the second time that, her mind was really made up in regards to the dissolution of their marriage and there was no way back from what was going to happen. He walked out of the house and didn't look back. For he had accepted the cruel fate life had given him.

Pedro arrives his company, one of the biggest companies in Europe, that had over 100 sub-companies across Europe.

So, he placed his younger brother, Alexander, in charge. "So, I'm back to this place?" He said to himself, on arrival at the company's premises. Looking up to the building, turned and looked around the environment. "I hate my life. Dad, I'm sure you are enjoying this, from where ever you are" He stood outside the entrance for more than 5 minutes. "No no no. Absolutely not. I am not doing this"He said, while he turned back, heading towards his limousine. For he was feeling out of place, because he had never wanted anything to do with the company or its affairs. His father loved him so much and willed him the company and his estates. But all he wanted, was to leave a simple life, far away

Father will always say, how women of this generation only fancied wealthy guys, never caring about love and affection.

Sipping whiskey from his glass, making a circle with his right index finger, as he held the glass slightly away from his lips."hahhhh!" he smashes the glass of whiskey at the wall of his father's study, as he stood up with anger, from his seat. He has been taken over by rage, like a deranged lunatic, possessed by a thousand demons, breathing furiously."You do me like this?""I will show you hate and bring you pain!"He exclaimed the more. "You will feel far more pain, than you made me felt".Meanwhile, back at his matrimonial residence, Lisa was

"Now, this is a man I will glady and proudly call my husband".Lisa admired the company's building as she made her way through the lobby, to the front desk. "Hey, you there, quickly inform my sweetness of my presence" Feeling so proud of herself already, as she arrogantly said to the desk attendant. Perhaps, she was going to be Don Michaelson's wife after all, or so she thought."Tell him, his red appointment is here"she said to the desk attendant.

Kindly be at our chambers for commencement of the divorce proceedings.

They arrived home, at The Del Monte estate. The limousine highlights at the front porch of the house, and Pedro almost stepping out of the limo, with one leg outside the vehicle already, had a thought."On second thought, Roseline, forget about sorting out of the files I told you about, as we drove back home". Pedro said to her."Why, master? Why the sudden change of heart?"she asked her master, Pedro."Nothing serious, Roseline. Come on, get into the limo".he said to her.

"Why is she not picking up her phone?""Pick up the damn phone!" Michaelson was shouting frustratingly. He has been trying to reach Lisa on her cell phone, but it just kept ringing and ringing, without her picking the phone."Let me call her aunt"he said to himself. After all, she liked and adored him. "Hello? Josephine" she picked up his call.All he could say was,"Lisa's ex-husband, isn't what we all thought he was". Josephine replied,"Calm down now. What did you say again?".He had already dropped the call. She didn't understand what he had just told her. She quickly called her niece Lisa on her phone. But Lisa wasn't coming to the phone. She kept trying, until she finally answered the phone. "What happened? I have been trying to reach you. Even Don Michaelson called your cell phone but you didn't answered".Her aunt, Josephine said to her. "Sorry aunt, I was asleep" she replied."You better call Michaelson and find out what is going on.Josephine said, before she ended

"Sorry, I was in a meeting yesterday evening, that is why I refused picking up your calls".This was the SMS message Lisa woke up to, the next morning. She felt ecstatic, because it was Pedro, who had sent her that text message. To Lisa, it only meant that, there was a very high possibility that, he will take her back as his wife. "I know how hard you work, my handsome Pedro. I just want the opportunity to explain myself and why I opted for a divorce. I only beg, you give me the opportunity to explain myself, my love, and then you will see that, I truly love you and didn't mean to treat you badly".She quickly sent him in an SMS, to his phone as well. It wasn't up to a minute she sent the text message to Pedro, then her message notification sound came up. She quickly checked her phone to see if it was Pedro who had sent in a message. "1PM. Meet me at my place. Don't worry, it is very easy to locate. Just tell the cab driver, The Del Monte estate. It is quiet popula, and he will br

There was a knock at The Del Monte's door. Roseline came to see who it was. It was Sarah, Lisa's sister. "Please, do come in." Roseline said to her. She immediately came inside the house, and Roseline closed the door behind her."Where is Peddy?" She asked Roseline."Follow me, I will take you to him. He is expecting you"Roseline told her. They made their way upstairs, with Roseline guiding her to Pedro's bedroom "Peddy I'm here, as promised".She said, as she had already seen him lying down on his bed. "Leave us Roseline. Close the door behind you on your way out".He said, sending away Roseline from his room.He got up and held Sarah by her waist. Looking into each other eyes without blinking. They both looked at each other's lips, soon enough they locked lips, and started kissing each other rigorously."Wait".Sarah said to Pedro, under her breath."What?

Roseline later arrived home from the company, after she finished with the workers there. “Roseline, you are back”.Pedro said to Roseline, after he turned back to see who it was, that had just come into the house, hearing the door open, while he was watching television in the sitting room.“Yes, master”.She said to him. She was exhausted, due to the numerous amount of workers, that she discussed and engaged with. “How did it go with the workers? Were you able to get the information we need?”.Pedro asked her.“It was a tedious process, Master. I spoke with at least seventeen workers, and it turns out that, two amongst our employees there, were his stooges”.Roseline replied him.“Can you imagine the insolence of this man? He even converted employees of the company to his minions”. Pedro said to her, slightly annoyed.“Master, you do not need to worry your head much about this whole situation. The other workers during the course of my discussions with them, all pointed at the other

Please, do come through to the house. I will be expecting you. It’s been a while”. He continued and finally ended the conversation over the phone. He didn’t bother to put on much, since he and Lisa had plans of having sex later on. He wore a white striped sweatshirt and shorts and went down stairs to join Lisa in the sitting-room. “Hey you, what took you so long? Was the shower that good?”.Lisa asked Morata, looking up at him, smiling, as he made his way down the stairs to the sitting-room, to sit with her. “Hehehe.

Had these meeting with some potential clients, who came into the country from Italy, yesterday, to meet with me for business”. He replied her. “That’s nice. I see you, Mr. Big business mogul”.

One of the men said to him, as he kicks his stomach, while Michaelson was on the floor, struggling with his stomach and holding it, because of the pain, they had inflicted on him. “Hey you, Michaelson, better prepare your mind ready for a court appearance next week. Hehehe. You will be going to jail real soon”. Detective Harry said to him, laughing after he came to his cell, to say to him.
