Royal Return Of Leo Luke

Chapter 1

Elene cleared her throat right before Leo, she was his wife's personal assistant. Leo stared at her with a smirkful reaction.

"Mr Leo, I'm here to pass to you the information your wife sent me."

"So my wife can no longer come out of her office to meet me but you?" He questioned. He was invited to her new office for the first time, three weeks after she assumed the position of the New Duchess of Manila.

In the community, she was the most eligible being a Masters Degree Holder in the Leadership field and also showing leadership skills. Leo wondered what she was about to say but he felt bad not being able to see her in person, all his hope was to see her.

"She's quite busy so she can't come to see you, and besides it isn't so significant to see you before she can pass her message across to you!" The PA said with so much of an irritated expression on her face. 

"Then don't bother about passing the information to me. I'm her husband, whenever she's ready to tell me, she will come see me." He was about to rise and go when Elene stopped him 

"She wants a divorce! Everything is already prepared, so you need to listen!" 

Hearing this, Leo's heart became shattered. He wasn't even bringing his thoughts up to this. He froze to the spot, his head lowered with grief. This made him speechless because he really loved his wife. 

So this was actually coming from his wife. 

He raised his eyes as Elene cleared her throat, which he believed was to grab his attention.

"Here are the documents she has prepared for you through the help of her lawyer, everything is set and the only thing left to do is to sign." Hearing about the lawyer and signing being the only thing left, Leo's mood changed but he composed himself. Elene was watching at him with sarcasm to mock him should he show emotions. 

He wanted to disappoint her. 

He watched as Elene pushed the files closer to him over the table. His heart was seriously pumping inside of him. 

"Is she really serious about this?" He asked.

"You can as well find that out for yourself, open it and check!" Elene was serious, showing some irritation at the same time.

Leo couldn't wait to open it, he scanned through the heading. The divorce agreement heading was clearly stated. . "What's the meaning of this?" He rose up. Elene gestured on him to sit.

"Please sit. There's no need for anger. Your wife doesn't want you again and wishes to cut ties with you. Hope that's clear enough for you to accept with good faith and not rant around."

He wanted to challenge Elene but she was a woman and besides she wasn't the one he was targeting. He wanted to speak with his wife, Clara. He pulled out his phone from his back pocket and dialed her number.

For sometime now her line hasn't been going while she's at work, but should he use a new number, it would go. One day it went, and she discovered it was him who was calling, she asked why he kept disturbing her and then ended the call. Since then she no longer picked his calls. 

He was surprised that she kept her line open today. 

"Clara, what's the meaning of this? Why about the divorce agreement your PA is giving to me?" His voice was raised as he talked to her with anger.

"Mind you, I'm now the Duchess of Manila. Speak to me with some respect!" Her voice was cold and harsh. "You don't realize I'm no longer in your class?" This hurt him so much. 

"Is this my wife, or someone else saying this?" He questioned deep within himself. He couldn't believe this. Before Clara attained her new position and became a millionaire, she was the best wife to him, caring and respectful. They have been married for two years now. They had only fourteen days left to mark their wedding anniversary and this was happening right before his eyes.

He had already begun his little preparations to make her happy even though he had no money. 

"What have I done, can you tell me? Why do you want to divorce me?" Being that he couldn't record any wrong he did, he wanted to know why his wife would just stay without any reason and want to divorce him.

She gave some seconds of silence, sending strokes of suspense towards Leo. When his eyes met with Elene, her assistant, she was gazing at him with a smirk on her lips.

"I don't think you're fit to be my husband, I'm doing this to maintain my image. A poor husband degrades me as per my position. I guess that's enough to explain why I'm doing this!" 

Leo lowered his head, running his fingers through his hair on confusion and frustration. 

"Ahhhh!" Leo sighed. He threw the phone on the couch he was sitting on in the guest office. 

"So you'd tell me it's not because you've seen someone else better than me you want to divorce me?" He asked, still doubting her reasons. 

"Of course not! If at all I were to see someone else, it wouldn't be of your caliber, someone great just as me or richer than me. I need a baby girl treatment, I can't suffer with you anymore." 

"But you already have money?" 

"Shouldn't I have the privilege of being treated so well by my husband and since you can't, I'm afraid I have to give you up for someone else!" 

She was saying her mind. Then she got pissed at him wasting his time, she thought he would just get angry, sign and leave. 

"Enough of these questions!" She yelled at him. "I think I'll have to come now and make you sign, after this I want nothing to do with you." She said with so much seriousness. 

She hit the table from her end. Leo could hear it.

In the next five minutes, she arrived at the guest office. "What made it so difficult for you to be here in the first place?" Leo asked her with a stern face. She smirked at his pride, when he should be begging. 

"What do you want, why can't you just understand that I don't want you again and sign this? I don't have much time to waste with you!"

Leo was drifting back, he hadn't seen this aggressive part of his wife before. His eyes were clear at this moment, it was obvious she didn't want her again, especially now she confessed with her own mouth she eyes another man. 

"I'm giving you this advantage of signing this document now and you would get eight million dollars to take care of your miserable self!" She dropped a credit card on the table. 

"Sign this and take the card, go off my life. I never want to see you again," she repeated. 

Leo gave her an irritated look. "You think I'm so poor I'd roll on the floor and beg you to stay with me? Give me that, I'm signing right away, as for your filthy money, keep it I don't want it!" He pushed the card away from him. 

After signing his signature, he dropped the pen and left the office without even looking back.
