The Shadow Man

DIVORCE: PART I

"I'm coming." A voice inside responded as the door opened from the inside. "Oh, Jacob."

"Happy Birthday." Jacob said as he handed the flower and small present he prepared for the elderly woman.

"Oh, you remember." She replied with teary eyes as she accepted the bouquets and gifts. "You didn't have too."

"Don't worry, the flowers were from the garden, and the gift isn't that much." Jacob explained to her, as she had always rejected all sorts of presents, he gave her, as she would always find them burdensome.

"Very well then, thank you." She replied as she gave the man a hug in return.

Jacob returned to his room and prepare for the day. He wonders what silly things the family has planned for him again. Since his wife was no longer around, it meant everyone must keep him in check and happy. Preventing him from asking around or finding out his wife has been keeping secrets from him.

"Oh, Jacob, you're awake. Why don't you eat breakfast with me?" Mother Wayne said as she grabbed hold of the man's arms and dragged him to the dining area.

"Its fine mother-in-law, I'm actually not hungry. I-I, kind of came home drunk last night and still not in the mood to eat. I only came down to drink some coffee." Jacob explained as he brushed away the woman's hand away from his arms.

"Oh, very well then. I'll have Vic prepare something for you later." She said not caring any more for the man as he walked back to his room.

As soon as the man was no longer in her sight, she hurried to the kitchen and washed her hands. "I can't believe I held onto him. Just a little more, and soon, our family will be back on top."

A month has passed and Jessica was in the news with her new man. Everyone who was close to her was shocked to see who she was dating. The fact that it was known she was already married.

"Can't believe Jessica is dating Joe Black. But isn't she married to someone already?"

"What are you talking about, who would even care about that man. She is now with Joe Black, who would even care about that loser."

"That right, Jessica is so lucky. Despite being married to some loser, a prince has come to save her."

Those were the talks happening all over the place, especially at North Star Entertainments.

Tom Blake was happy with the news as he saw his sister have fully grasp the man. He now knew that not be long for the man to make his move and put a ring on his sister's finger.

"Darling, are you inside."

"Becca, what are you doing here."

Rebecca Simon arrived with her group of people. Her assistant, bodyguards, stylist, and makeup artist. She was currently one of the top actresses the company was promoting. Not only that, she was the president of the company's women.

"You all can go." Rebecca said to her people as they all walked out of the office. As soon as they left, Tom's assistance also walked out and locked the door as he already knew what was soon to happen.

"Becca, I see you've come prepared."

The woman moaned as the man bounced himself as hard as he could onto the woman. The woman was stripped naked and seated on his lap. She bounced as hard as she could, making each impact worth it.

"Ah, Tom, that's it, squeeze me tighter."

Tom wrapped his hand around the woman's waist. She continued to moan much louder as he couldn't resist, and bit on the girl's neck.

As the two continued passionately, outside, there, people were waiting patiently. However, they became all tense when they saw an unexpected person to visit the company.

"Chairman, what are you doing here?" Tom's assistant, Samuel said as he shakily approached the man.

"What are you all doing out here, what, aren't you all Rebecca's team." Father Blake said as he saw the people all standing and averting their gaze away from his. "Don't tell me, that b*stard."

"Chairman, I don't think its best if you go inside now." Samuel explained as he knew that the two people inside were already at the end moment.

"B*stard, tell him once his done to see me. If he does not come, all of you will be fired. I'll give you ten minutes, make sure he comes see me in my office." Father Blake said as he walked away, annoyed at each one of them. He was more upset with his son, who dare used the company like a hotel. "That b*stard, can't he keep it in and wait till he gets home."

Within ten minutes, the man was standing outside his father's office. He was annoyed by the fact that his moment with the woman had been shortened. Just one round meant nothing to him; even two was short for him. "Darn it, why did father have to come look for me."

"B*stard, I see you still have some sense in you." Father Blake said as he darted a look at his son, who had not fixed himself at all. "Don't you even know how button yourself."

"Father, please, don't teach me how to dress myself up. Just tell me, why did you look for me?" Tom was annoyed as he sat down on the sofa.

"Ha, is playing around with the woman more important than the company. Do you think a woman like her would still be with you if you don't have what you have now?" He angrily said to him, as he pointed out, that without his position, he'd be just a nobody, just like the person back home.

"Fine, enough already. So, what did you call me for?" Tom said as he fixed himself up. He even took off his tie and fixed it on properly.

"We need to plan your sister divorce. We need to make sure that the man does not demand anything from us." He explained as he stood from his seat and walked towards the man as he handed him some documents.

"Why ask me, shouldn't you just ask Joe to do this. He has more power to handle that guy." He said whilst grabbing the documents and seeing what was written in them. "Seriously, you even plan to give him some money?"

"We should at least do that much so people will not speak ill of us. Even though everyone thinks the man is at fault, we still need to gain people sympathy and make sure the Wayne family will be impacted as well. They dare look down on us and not show any support over the years."

"So, you don't plan to demand anything from him? I mean, he is still a Wayne?" Tom said as he grabbed the rest of the documents and checked them. Seeing what was written, he saw that they really weren't demanding anything from him.

"You sister affairs had already been revealed. It won't be long for the man to take action. I'm sure he'll be demanding something from your sister. Think about it, once they'll divorce, he won't have anything at all. He won't even have a roof to his head. Not along, a decent cloth to wear."

"That true, I guess we can give me a little more than this then. I mean, once sister married Joe Black, the company will profit more than what we are planning to give to him." Tom suggested as he piled the documents together and grabbed them. "I'll have someone arrange everything and I'll ask the company legal team to find ways to make sure sister won't have any problem."

"Very well," He replied as he went back to his seat, and before his son could walk out, he called for him, "Also, stop using the company as your bedroom. I know you've not only slept with her."

Tom didn't deny his father's calm. It was true that he had slept with almost half of the female staff of the company. Anyone who was willing to gain something from him, he would gladly do so. As long as he is pleased with their performance, he would gladly award them.

Whilst walking out of his father's company, it was not long when his father told him off. However, he was still aching for some action in his lower half.

"My dear Beth, are you busy?" He said as he stood behind the woman who was making some coffee. He gently moves his hands, touching her behind and caressing it softly.

Soon the coffee that the woman was preparing was left in the coffee machine as the two disappeared.

"Sir, please be gentle, I don't have any extra cloths with me today."

However, the man was no longer thinking straight. He was ponding on the woman like some wild beast who was hungry for lust. The woman tried her best to not make any noise; however, her body was speaking for itself. She bet on her clothes, which were placed on her mouth so she wouldn't make any sound.

The man didn't let the woman go after just one or two rounds; he made sure that his tank was empty before letting the woman go.

That evening, Tom returned to his apartment and there Rebecca was already waiting for him.

"Darling, your home. You must have been so busy that you just came home." Rebecca said as she hugged the man, already aware that he was late because he was sleeping with someone else.

However, she didn't let this bother her as she was gaining what she wanted from him. As long as she could make money, and put herself on top of the entertainment ladder, she didn't care what the man was doing behind her back.

"Oh, yeah… I have lots of things to do with my sister's divorce." He explained as he took off his coat and placed it on the chair.

"What, Jess is planning to divorce her husband, but isn't she married to a Wayne?" Rebecca said, all in shock from what she just found out. It was known already that Jessica was seeing Joe Black. However, it was soon clear that the two were only seen together because the man was an investor in her latest project.

"What Wayne, that b*stard doesn't even own a car. Not alone a decent pair of shoes." He laughed aloud as he went to the kitchen and grabbed himself a can of beer. He opened the beer and drank it all in one go. Afterward, he took out another and opened it, "That guy, a good for nothing. The only thing he was good at was managing the garden. Apart from that he was good for nothing."

"But still, isn't he still a part of the Wayne family. What is he holding a secret part of the family share?"

"What share, don't you know that the Wayne heir is Jasper Wayne. That b*stard twin brother. Even the adopted child of the family has a piece of the company."

"How come he didn't get a single share?"

"Who knows, the man was raised by the old man. As soon as he was able to stand on his own, he was sent to the army. So, he was not close to any of his parents at all." He explained as he had investigated the man after he married his sister, to know the reason as to why the Wayne family showed no interest towards the man.

"So, your saying, all this time, the Wayne didn't bother with him." She said as she sat down next to him and wrapped her arms around him.

"Oh, you weren't able to attend the wedding back then. His family didn't even show up. None of his family showed up even his adopted family. That alone prove that no one care for him. He must have done something in the past that cause the family to hate him. Not alone abandon him."

The man continues to indulge himself with the refreshing opened beer. As soon as he finished it, he soon went ahead and tasted the sweet taste of the woman once again as he continues what he hadn't finished during the day.
