The Orphan Billionaire’s revenge

Corrupt Government Official

“What kind of despicable act is that?!” She explained angrily and shot out the chair. “I cannot believe that you are a cad who would force me to accept you in my bed against my will, Well absolutely not!” Her voice filled with outrage still did not hide the fear that crept in.

Thor remained calm and reclined in his seat and studied her face lazily while Garnet forced herself to hold his stare.

“I am certain that you and your family would be able to give classes on how to be despicable…” Thor eyed her and a pink blush of embarrassment rose up her neck.

Moreover, I am a gentleman and i would never force a woman, I have no need to do that.” he said and Garnet scoffed while he grinned at her prickly reaction.

She stared at him and had to silently agree with him, even without the appeal of the money and nice clothes and expensive accessories he had always been an attractive man. An image of him shirtless rose unbidden to her mind and she had to clamp down on it as she blushed.

“I do not agree to that condition, change it to something else.” She demanded surly.

“Those are all my conditions, I am not willing to change my mind.” He simply said.

“Then you can take your help and shove it up all the way where the sun does not shine!” She screamed indignantly and stormed out of the office while Thor chuckled.

Of course she was not going to accept his offer off the bat, she would need some persuasion. By the time she realized that he was the only one who could help her she would be right back and he would be waiting for her.

Knowing her family he could tell that she would be back here pretty soon. There was no way she would be able to get a loan or a job in enough time to sort out all their problems. Thor did not feel guilty in the slightest, he was willing to use whatever underhanded tactics he could employ to make sure that Garnet was at his mercy.

Garnet angrily stormed out of the office and out the office building and jumped into the first cab she found and was soon on her way to the courthouse. When she got there she virtually sprinted up the stairs and ignored the clerk who tried to flag her down, heading straight to the lawyer’s office.

“You can’t go in there ma’am.” The Clerk said as she ran after Garnet who opened the door and stepped into the office and stood defiantly while the lawyer looked startled as he looked up from the files on his desk.

“I’m sorry sir, she refused to stop even though I tried.” The clerk said while Garnet glared at her.

“Don’t worry about it Rosa, I will take care of this. Just shut the door behind you.” He instructed them turned his attention to Garnet.

“Please take a seat Mrs Smith.”

She sat opposite him and the man squirmed at the fire in his eyes but he covered up his discomfort with a smile that failed to soften Garnet’s expression.

“Mrs Smith? Hmmm…” Garnet said and crossed her legs and examined the man before her.

“last I checked I explained to you that I needed to get a divorce from my husband so imagine my surprise when I did not get the divorce agreement sent to my house just like we agreed.”

“I think you must have been mistaken because…” the lawyer started.

“No you are mistaken!” Garnet cut in. “I need an explanation for what this means.” She said and pulled out the now rumpled sheet of paper and flung at him.

The lawyer picked it up and browsed through it and lifted his eyes to meet hers.

“I see no problem, you and your husband came to me to sign a document and I see it right here, I sent a document to your house just like I promised.” He said blandly and Garnet looked at him in shock.

“But how could you say that? That is not what we agreed on, that is not what I wanted. I asked you for a divorce.”

“We have had no such conversations, you and your husband made your choice and i honored it. I have no idea what you are complaining about right now.” He stated and made Garnet’s jaw drop from disbelief.

She had most absolutely had told him that she wanted a divorce, she was sure of that. This could only mean that he had misled her purposefully, could this be because her dubious husband had gotten to him and she narrowed her eyes dangerously.

“Did Thor put you up to this?” She asked and stood up and braced herself against the table and hovered over him. “Did you take a bribe?”

*gasp!*

“I take offense to your unfounded accusation and I will not sit her and watch you say such ridiculous things to me.” He said looking extremely affronted and stood up then pointed at the door.

Garnet eyed him back and hissed and turned away but she stopped at the door and turned back to level him with a cold look.

“This is not over, I will be back with my lawyer.” She said.

“Bring anyone here and I will take them on.” The lawyer flung at the door as Garnet had already shut the door behind her.

He sat back down and shrugged, it did not matter what Garnet did there was no way he was going to admit to the fact that he had taken a bribe and gotten her signature illegally by deceiving her.

He had gotten rewarded so nicely that even three years bonus could not compare. He was keeping the money in his little money nest so that when he retired from here he would be able to buy a cute cottage on some beach somewhere and sit all day drinking fruity cocktails. Who said life as a corrupt government official did not pay?
