The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 2

Marie!, Clinton said loud enough for the two people in the room to hear. On hearing his voice, they quickly separated.

Marie quickly used the bedcover to hide her bare chest and picked her blouse from the bedside and tried to put it on.

He couldn’t believe his eyes. How could she do such a thing to him after everything he had done to make her happy.

He felt betrayed. Meanwhile Marie didn’t even stand up, she looked at him with scorn and seemed unbothered.

His chest tightened at her indifference, he couldn’t talk, he just stood there debating on either beating the man to a pulp or leaving.

“Why are you here Clinton??, aren’t you supposed to be at work???”, Marie said indignantly while sitting up.

The man she was kissing earlier had also worn his shirt back and was a bit scared that Clinton was going to do something to him.

Clinton stood at 6’4, with arms that looked like he had been working out. His jet black hair was hidden in the face cap he wore.

 He had perfectly sculpted jawline, his sleep deprived eyes were staring at Marie, with pain and confusion. 

His fists were clenched and it felt like he was going to pounce on the fellow standing behind his wife, visibly trembling but he was trying to hide his fear and look unbothered.

He was shocked at her words, he expected her to be sorry and tell him she was drugged or drunk.

Lucy coughed slightly and left the room, smiling mischievously, it was as if she had planned everything.

Clinton was already filled with anger at this point, he finally spoke, “What’s going on Marie???, “how could you do this??”, he had so many questions.

“You’re married to me and sleeping with another man like a slut!” , he said angrily, “Did you even think about me, how I was going to feel if I ever found out??”.

He was immediately filled with hatred for her and he couldn’t believe how ungrateful she was, after everything he had done for her.

He had been trying his absolute best to provide for her and make her happy.

Marie hissed and laughed at him mockingly, then she slowly stood up and went closer to him. “ Yes, I cheated on you, what are you going to do about it Clinton???”.

“You think I’m a fool??, that I wouldn’t find out your little secret??, well, the joke’s on you because I know about everything!.

“How you lied to me about being a wealthy because you knew I was way out of your league, just so you could get married to me.

“You’re a shameless man Clinton!”, she spat, “I’ve never met a man as cheap are you are in my entire life, you’re the true definition of a cheat!”.

“You think I’d have accepted your proposal or even looked at you twice if I knew you were just a drycleaner???”.

I have been trying to endure hardships for you all in the hope that things were to change and become better someday.

“I didn’t know I was relying on false hopes and feeding myself with delusion”.

“I can’t even hang out with my friends anymore and always had to watch others speak about how good and luxurious their life is”.

“You’re embarrassing me Clinton, people talk a lot you know, and sincerely I don’t think I want to be with a “delivery guy”.

“Look at James”, she pointed at the fellow she indulged in infidelity with earlier, “He is the definition of a man. His family is the third richest family in the country.

“He can buy me whatever I want and make me happy”., James smiled and looked at Clinton scornfully at Marie’s statement.

“And yes, I don’t think I can be with you anymore Clinton, I’m just tired of living an average life”.

I want to go on vacations to Maldives, Greece and other beautiful places. I want to enjoy my life Clinton, with you, i don’t see any vacation or good life forthcoming, I’ve tried okay and sincerely I’m tired”, she said dryly.

With this, she went to her bag and brought out a file, she took out some papers and stretched it towards Clinton.

“I was going to present this to you this evening before, but since you’re here now, you can as well sign it, she said with a sardonic smile.

At this point, Clinton’s eyes was filled with unshed tears, he was short of words and couldn’t move.

He looked at the papers that were stretched to him and saw Divorce Papers written boldly on it, he opened his mouth in shock.

“What is this Marie??”, when Marie saw that he didn’t want to collect the papers, she flung the papers on him.

“When you’re done, pick up the papers, sign them, drop them on that table and get out of here!”.

Clinton picked up the papers one after the other, “Marie please don’t do this, I beg of you, we’ve come too far than for us to break up now, not now, be a little patient, soon everything will be fine and we’ll be able to afford everything you ever wanted”.

“Don’t worry, I forgive you for this, just please stop this and let’s go home Marie, don’t do this to me, please Marie”, he continued with pain in his voice.

“Oh please, stop feeding me with the same lies you’ve been telling me since the day I got married to you, I don’t even want to hear your voice or see your stupid face anymore, get out of here Clinton!”, she said out of annoyance.

James came forward and held her from behind, taking advantage of the situation, he pecked her on the cheeks and faced Clinton, giving him a sly look.

He watched as Clinton’s face hardened and enjoyed the look on his face. He held her intentionally.

“Get out of here Mr pauper, she doesn’t need you, If you don’t leave right now, I’m going to call my men to take care of you and trust me you wouldn’t like it”, James said wryly.

Clinton clenched his fists in frustration and decided to leave, he wished everything was just a dream and wanted to wake up badly.

He picked up the pen on the table, with one last look at the two in his front, he placed the paper on the table and went through it, he saw that Marie had signed already.

He felt betrayed, it meant she had been planning it for a while, he signed the papers and left the room slowly.

Marie giggled as James touched her and the sound she made, made Clinton cringe, he quickly closed the door behind him, if he heard another sound from them, he might lose his cool.

Clinton turned around and walked out of the room, went out of the hallway and climbed down the stairs in deep thought. He went towards the living room and met Lucy there.

She gave him a wicked smile and went to sit on her sofa, Clinton slowly dropped her cloth on the center table and headed for the door.

She said loud enough for him to hear,”Can you now see that she doesn’t need you, you’re not in her class, she has found someone better than you.

She continued, “Aren’t you ashamed of yourself, you want a girl like Marie but you aren’t prepared to provide for her, what a clown!”, she jeered.

“Go and look for someone in your class, stop aiming for things out of your reach you greedy fool, you can never bag a girl like my sister.”

Clinton ignored her remarks and went out of the house, jamming the door behind him.

He stood there for a while and tried to calm himself, he tried to take everything off his mind, but he just couldn’t.

The scene kept replaying in his mind and he thought he was going crazy. He cupped his face with his hands.

He developed a migraine and just wanted to leave there, he wanted to go somewhere faraway and forget about everything.

He walked towards his bike and wore his helmet, he was about to climb on his bike when he heard his phone’s notification sound.

He brought out his phone from his pocket and saw that it was a message from an unknown contact. He wondered who the message was from.

He unlocked his phone and clicked on the message. It opened and read:

Clinton couldn’t believe his eyes, a smile formed on his lips.
