Everyone knew David and Ashley were lovely couples. Everyone looked astonished, except for Lady Selma who felt happy as a dark smile crept over her rough chin.
Jennet scoffed, " Grandma, look who is demanding for a divorce, this broke freak, he wants to finally live in the gutters. " She burst into laughter.
But it was obvious to Lady Selma who instead chuckled sinisterly.
She looked at him; "Oh you never had a choice David, " She said.
" I see you finally met with Alexander Wilson, my future son in-law. "
She burst the bubbles.
David was stunned.
" What! S..So you knew?! "
" Are you hurt David? " She taunted. "How painful it is for you to discover that your beautiful wife you left a month ago is now expecting a child from another man who's hundred times better than you. " She tried to humiliate David in front of the everyone.
David was boiling inside, his lips curled and his jaw clenched with anger. It was all making sense now, the event of yesterday.
Lady Selma produced a cold smile so did Jennet who gladly crossed her arms, smiling like she too was aware but only pretending.
" HaHa!!
Oh David, this beautiful family is very close to partnering with the most influential and powerful group in the whole country, the Ace Empire, and with Wilson's family by our side, we're slowly getting to realize that goal. " She said with a laughter.
" The Ace Empire? " David stuttered, that's his family business empire.
"Yes the Ace Empire, Alexander's father, Mr. Wilson, is a member of the High Table and his family are quite close to the great Ace family. With their influence, the possibility of this family working with the Ace Empire in the future is high. So at this moment you cannot blame Ashley, she's only doing what's best for the family. "
David, after hearing what Lady Selma said, he lit a small smile on his face.
They just mistreated the heir of the Ace Empire, only if they knew."Well, since you already know why I'm here, I think there's no need for much talk, I and Ashley are already legally married and I wish to end everything right now, " David pressed forward, confidently.
Lady Selma was surprised by David's behavior, but she howbeit smiled.
"Alright then! " She said and turned to one of her maids.
"Lydia! Go now to my office and bring me the white file under the brown papers inside my drawer. " She ordered.The maid answered with speed and few minutes later she returns with the file.
" Here it is madam, " she curtsied gracefully.
Lady Selma grabbed the file from her with effort and brought out some clean A4 document that has already been stamped legally by the court.
Lady Selma threw the divorce paper roughly at David's feet.
"That's the divorce paper David, signed it and get out of my house! " She growled.
David grins as he quietly stoop down to retrieve the document from the ground.
He gazed at the divorce paper, was he really ready to throw away all those beautiful moments he had with Ashley?
" I need a pen! " He said with seriousness.
Ashley betrayed him, he felt she's not worth it. He was happy she revealed herself early before his father started seeking his return.
Lady Selma strode with regal grace to her preferred cushion chair and settled comfortably in the living room, crossing her legs and wearing a sly grin on her face.
" Someone throw that nimrod a pen quickly! " She yelled
Jennet arched an eyebrow at David while settling onto a plush armchair next to her grandmother.
She threw her classic blue pen at David's feet.
Lady Selma compliment her indecency with a smile.
However, David already knew that was going to happen, he just walked to where the pen is on the floor and grabbed it.
After he picked up the pen, he glanced at everyone's face before looking away.
In awe they watched David sign the divorce paper.
David signed the divorce, as if he had gone through the paper before, he already knew where and where to put his signature.
" I've signed the divorce agreement Lady Selma. " He said.
Lady Selma commenced applauding. " Well done, boy. That's precisely what I have always desired. "
" Now Lydia, grab those papers from him. "
The maid immediately walked up to David to collect the papers when the papers suddenly loose from his grip and fell on the floor.
David intentionally let the paper loosed because he was still very angry.
" Uh, sorry it fell, " he feigned a gasp.
" Then pick it back up! " Lady Selma yelled.
Instead of picking up the paper, David confidently placed his hands back into his jean pockets and looked straight at Lady Selma's face.
" Hey you!! " Jennet growled.
At the corners, some maids exclaimed were shocked.
Lady Selma was taken aback by David's audacity.
She got angry, " You damn fool, you don't do whatever you please in my house, pick those documents up right now or you'll regret it. " She growled.
" No I won't Lady Selma! " David remained stubborn, he saw no reason to obey the old lady anymore since he's no longer her grandson in-law.
"Guards! Guards!! " Lady Selma screamed ferociously.
At once 10 powerful security guards ran into the villa and surrounded David.
David felt a little frightened, perhaps it was a wrong idea to have drop the divorce papers on the floor, he did not see the repercussions coming.
He looked around him, he could tell the guards seemed very delighted to harm him.
"Boys, drag this piece of garbage out of this house now!! " Lady Selma commanded with authority.
"Don't you touch me! " David gave a stern warning to the guards.
After several warnings, he repeatedly smashed the jaw of the first 3 guards that came closer to him.
Everyone was baffled.
The 7 other guards who were about to reach for him held back out of shock.
For the very first time in their life they seem scared of David.
Already David felt his wrist broken after beating up the guards.
"I warned you not to touch me, didn't I? " He yelled.
Lady Selma's brow stretched in stupefy, she has always believe David to be mild and weak, she never expected him to be this strong.
" What's this! You morons, don't just stand there, deal with him all of you, or y'all lose your jobs!! " She stood from her chair and vented.
All the guards were about to ferociously come at David when suddenly two maids of the house ran into the enormous living room and bowed before Lady Selma. "Madam, Ms. Ashley's coming and she's bringing someone very important with her, the heir of the Wilson group. " "Mr. Alexander Wilson is here? " Jennet exclaimed with enthusiasm. All activities ceased immediately in the house. "Now have they come here to mock me? " David frowned. Jennet quickly dash out of the living room, " I have to wear that sexy blue crystal dress. " She screamed. Donald Rans scoffed, " Are you going to snatch him from Ashley. " He said playfully but inside he was bitter of the fact that Ashley has been taken again. Lady Selma stood from her seat, " You stupid maids, are you done tidying up the house!! " Her attention sharply withdrew from David like he was invisible in the house. Suddenly, Ashley and Alexander Wilson could be seen holding hands as they walk proudly inside the house. Their view cause a
David was confused, how did both cards vanished from his pocket? " I'm hundred percent sure I kept it in my pocket– " "Huh? " As his hands went to the back of his trouser, he suddenly felt something solid inside his back pocket. When he put his hand inside the pocket, he found both cards clamp onto each other. David hastily release a loud sigh of relief with his hand on his chest. " I thought I lost them. " He smiled. *** David finally left the environment of the estate. But first he decided to head straight to the restaurant where he worked as a waiter. He was just about to get promoted to being the assistant manager of the restaurant before he was arrested by the police. "At least I have some good friends who would be soo glad to finally have me back. " He thought. When he appeared in front of the classic restaurant, he beams while adjusting his collars. But he was surprised, the security guard at the entrance did not allow him to enter the restaurant. "And what is an
David was astounded at the number of black escort cars that pulled over to his side and the number of men on black suits that gathered around him after he contacted Hunter. It was as if they have been waiting and hoping for him to make the call that they were all already prepared to meet him. However, everyone around the restaurant were stunned at the extraordinary scene. " What's happening there? " They murmured confusedly. The scene attracted a lot of people on the street included the people inside the Cafe restaurant. When everyone thought David was in trouble, they were greatly astounded beyond their wits to see all men on black suit that gathered him bowed their head before David with respect as if he were a Prince. " Young Master!! Young Master!!! " All the men hailed. "Who is that handsome young man? " In wonder, a gorgeous lady on red dress inside the restaurant exclaimed. Everybody inside the restaurant could see what was happening as the walls of the restaurant were co
THE CASTLE. Before the announcement. David received a blossoming welcome the minute he stepped out of the helicopter. Not everyone was aware of his return, but as soon as the news reach the castle, everyone in the castle from the servants to the guards all prepared themselves to welcome him. They all bowed before him like a king has returned. It was evening that day when David finally returned home to his great family. David was walking around in a quiet room, waiting for Hunter to return. He wondered, the castle has not changed so much since he left. He still knows all the corners of the castle that leads to his bedroom. As he walked around the glittering room, suddenly he remembered something; "My bags, shit! All my belongings are still in that Delilah's house.. " "Fuck, I'll still need to return to Armsdale city to get all of my things, my pictures, and some important stuff I kept inside the bedroom. " David grunted with disappointed in his voice. .. However, David was ve
The Next day. David woke up early in the morning and sat on his bed, a lot of events that happened lately scrolled through his mind. He smiled painfully as he recalls from when he first met the Forrest family. ~~~ He was not poor when he got married to Ashley, he was a handsome young man who had a nice paying company job, until he was called and made the General Manager of the Forrest group 5 years ago because of his unbelievably intelligence in business and management, discovered by Mr. Jorge Forrest. He had wanted to start his own business but Mr. Forrest wished to work with him, so he made him a shareholder in his company which David accepted. He helped run and manage the Forrest company for good 4 years and it was under his management that the formally undervalued Forrest company grew expand and gain leverage over all other companies in Armsdale city, lest did he know that except for Mr. Forrest who was the most kind to him, no other members from the Forrest family liked him,
But David did not want to spoil the fun. He wanted to watch the entire household of the Forrest family to drop their jaw in fear and beg him for mercy. "I don't want to talk about it father, though everything happened just recently. That's why I want to go into seclusion to restore my mental health, I have really suffered, " David said. "Is that why you went to a bar? " David tilt over to Hunter and then back to his father, " I guess, " he casually said. "That lady is just lucky you did not mention her name, brother, else she and her family would be so miserable, " Anna grimaced a little and David struck her a warm smile. Lord Ace sighed deeply; "If you say you want to stay away for sometime, I can consider, it's your choice, but what are we going to do about the announcement that has already spread all over the city and the country about your return? Also, what about the business empire and High Table consortium, I want you take charge, I'm still under strict medication, you a
Two days after he returned to Armsdale city, David arrived at his ex-wife's house in Weston estate where he formerly resided. His face painted blue coming back to this place, but he returned solely to pack up all he owned inside the house. He was more interested in one thing, the first class certificate that he obtained when he graduated from college 6 years ago, it's a document that held great significance for him. ...... Upon his arrival to the house, he appeared ordinary as ever, even his shirt were very rumpled. He has acquired so much wealth now, but he still decided to stay low and humble until his quest in the city is fulfilled. When he entered the compound, he had a feeling that his ex-wife must have thrown away his things from the house after their divorce. With the way she treated him after betraying him, he believed she could care less to do something like that, afterall they are no longer married. Nevertheless, as he paced slowly into the compound, he headed straight to
[Two Months later] The Monday morning news declared the Forrest company the No.1 most successful company in Armsdale city. Joy quickly swept through the wide grounds of the Forrest estate. It was as if Lady Selma was expecting for the news to land, by 8 am she was already sitted comfortably on her magnificent chair in the living room with the rest of her family. Splaying her prideful arms over her chair with a dash of glitz, she crossed her legs with her eyes fixed on the TV."What! Did we just defeated the Richmond and Cheung group? How did you do that grandma? " Moore, the forth grandchild of the family gasped with shock as she turns to face Lady Selma. Lady Selma laughed; " Finally, it has happened, my dream is finally coming to reality," she said as she proudly stood to her feet. One of the maids suddenly rushed inside the living room from upstairs. She ran to Lady Selma, "Ma'am, you have so many missed calls on your phone. " Just as she was saying, her phone rang again as
