The Divorced Billionaire

Chapter 5

Now he was dropping Jamie and every other character that was built with it over time.

“ So Salvador, What’s the first thing you want to do ?” Flora asked.

“ I need to meet with my family, After the reunion and taking over my place as the chairman of Maroon then I will attack Leah from the higher-ups, “ Salvador said.

“ How about your name? What do you do about it ?”

“ My family will hold a press conference after the reunion and it will be announced, The name Jamie dies immediately, “ He said.

“ Three months might be too long to prove to them that you are not a nobody “ Flora smirked.

“ Now that we are into the deal …What do you mean when you said “ make him mine “ Salvador smirked leaning closer to Flora and she scoffed.

“ Oh! That was to add spice up the whole thing “ Flora said.

“ I see, So what do you want in return? You aren’t doing it for free that I know “ Salvador asked and Flora nodded.

“ My cousin … He has been doing a lot of nasty things in the company behind my grandfather’s back, Like embezzlement of funds, private loans in the company’s name, I want to put him in his place … I’m not interested in my grandfather’s company but I wouldn’t want the empire to be in his hands “ Flora stated.

“ So you want the empire ?”

“ No, I want to teach him a lesson my grandfather can’t teach him plus I found out he was the one that employed thugs to attack my grandfather, Do you think he is deserving of the rule of chairman “ Flora said to Salvador, She left Italy because her grandfather urged her to come and manage the company alongside Ted, She discovered loopholes in the company but couldn’t reveal it to her grandfather because of his health issues.

“ I see we both of the same agenda “ Salvador smirked.

“ Not really … I want to drop Ted out of the company, You have to prove to your wife that you are not useless, Go back to your family and manage your family’s business “

Salvador looked at Flora, He needed her zeal by his side these months to get revenge on his ex-wife.

“ I will be meeting with my family tonight, It’s my mother’s birthday and I think my appearance at the party will make a perfect gift “ Salvador smirked.

“ Here … This is my card, Get yourself ready for tonight, It’s going to be a long night” Flora smiled, and Jamie handed over her card back to her.

“ Don’t worry about that, My uncle already took care of everything… I will send you the invite, Let’s attend it together “ Jamie already told his uncle to announce his divorce to the family, Surely his appearance with Flora who was the daughter of an old family friend would make waves at the party and he was ready.

Flora left the cafe to prepare for the night and so did Salvador, Immediately he got to his apartment Roxy was already there with him.

“ What is it I’m hearing, You are going back to your family?” Roxy asked in excitement, Salvador was shocked to see Roxy in his apartment, Roxy was his uncle’s assistant, He knew about his real identity as Salvador Maroon but he kept it a secret and agreed to call him Jamie.

“ I made a bet with Leah and her new man, She tagged me as useless and worthless and I thought it wise to prove to her that I am the reason she got those shares and the riches she has today “ Salvador smirked and Roxy stood up in excitement, He was never in support with his marriage with Leah

because he was seen as a low-key manipulator , He was excited that Salvador was ready to take on his real identity and go back to the way things used to be.

“ That’s what we are talking about man! Your fortune will shock her and her family, Those people used you when they realized you could do anything for their daughter, The slap will be on their face when they find your true identity “ Roxy smirked.

“ I have three months to prove to her that I a not a useless divorcee, I could do that in one week but I want to do more … Apart from being my father’s heir, I want to build my empire… I want to make her want to crawl back to me so bad “ Salvador said.

“ Yes! This is the friend I know, Charismatic Salvador, and not Weak Jamie…” Roxy smiled, His phone rang and he picked up the call, He nodded a few times and hung up, He turned to Salvador and said.

“ Your limo is ready, “ Roxy said.

Salvador grabbed the essential things he needed, He wasn’t coming back to this house for now, He headed outside and two limos were parked outside and a middle-aged man stepped outside.

“ Master Salvador… It’s been a while, I see that you are all grown up now “ The man said, He was Salvador’s old driver, Salvador was surprised to see he still worked with his family after all those times.

“ Wow … Mr Jang, It’s a pleasure to see you again “

“ I have been instructed to bring you safely to the Maroon household, Everyone is anticipating your return, “ He said and Salvador nodded.

“ As expected “

Salvador and Roxy hopped in and the car drove off, He was dropping everything he was in the neighborhood, The only thing he was holding on to was that he was a father, He wasn’t letting go of everything he had with his son, It was going to be harder for Austin but he was still a little boy and he wouldn’t understand.

The drive was at least two hours, The Maroon household was located in the center of the city, In a neighborhood for the rich and powerful, Politicians, Celebrities, and Wealthy citizens had their home in this neighborhood.

“ Does it feel nostalgic?” Roxy asked but Salvador smiled instead.

“ I feel better looking back at my early life, I left all this because of someone like Leah”

The more Salvador thought about it, The more annoyed and betrayed he felt.

“ We are Here, “ The driver said as the gate swung open revealing the magnificent Maroon family mansion, The Maroon family consisting of Salvador’s parents, His grandmother, His younger brother, and sister stood outside awaiting his arrival, Salvador watched them from the tinted glass. The last time he stepped foot in this household was when he left home.

Salvador took a step outside from the car and he heard his mother sobbing for joy, Immediately he shut the car door, he turned, and faced his family. It was the moment of reunion for them.

“ I’m Home “ Salvador said and his mother immediately ran and embraced him in her arms.

“ Salvador! Ohh my boy, You are so grown now, I’m happy you decided to come back to your family “ She wept and Salvador held her in a warm embrace, All these years he ignored his mother's call and text, He felt ashamed to have left his family like this.

“ Welcome home Sal “ His sister hugged him, She was a little girl when he left but now she was a grown adult.

“ Lia, You look so beautiful “ He smiled and she chuckled.

Salvador’s eyes met with his brother but he looked away, He looked like he wasn’t happy to see him but Salvador understood that it was okay to resent him.

“ Son! Welcome back home “ His father gave him a handshake.

After exchanging greetings with his grandmother and his brother, They both retreated inside. The family talked over dinner, Everyone expressed their joy to see him again but his brother was weirdly calm, and even when Salvador would engage him in a conversation, His reaction wouldn’t be welcoming.

“ Uncle Larry tells us that you are now divorced, is that true ?” His mother asked and Salvador nodded, He didn’t see the need to hide it anymore.

“ Yes … We are officially divorced “

“ Wow… So you came to run to your family because your wife divorced you, The same family you abandoned because of her “ Kelvin said and Salvador smirked.

“ If you say so … I have always wanted to come back home but you all wouldn’t accept her so I just couldn’t leave her like that “

“ How about now ?”

“ We are officially divorced and I’m back home as the first son of the Maroon family “ He said and they started to cheer, All except Kelvin.

“ Let’s raise a toast, A Toast to better beginnings and reuniting “ His father raised his glass .

“ Let it be a double event, My birthday party and my first son’s homecoming “ Mrs Maroon said and they agreed.

After several discussions, Maroon was left to rest in his old room, He had several conversations with his younger sister, Roxy came in and she excused herself.

“ Man … You wouldn’t believe what your uncle just sent to me, “ Roxy said.

“ What ?” Salvador asked admiring his room, His family had prepared and refurnished it preparing for his return.

“ The guest list, I found a familiar name, “ Roxy said

“ Who ?”

“ Leah Roberts, Leah is coming to your mother’s party “ Roxy announced and Salvador did a little victory laugh, Everything was playing along.

“ Ha … How fate loves to play its game , She doesn’t have to wait till the press conference then, Right in front of her … I will be ushered in “ Salvador smiled playing the event in his head.

“ I can’t wait for tonight…”
