After Divorce I Became A Zillionaire

Nickolaus Michaelson

It’s been three months since the incident at my company happened with me throwing Ava out. I know I went too far but then… she’s so stubborn and if I want to get her out of my life then I have to become more harsh and hard but it’s like none of that is getting to her.

Ava is my childhood friend which is one of the reasons why I gave her options at first but seeing she doesn’t want any of them I have no choice but to do what’s needed, I love Sherly I can’t ditch her for anybody, recently my company has been making more progress than before that’s likely one of the reasons I’m always happy these days… The Michaelson group of companies is starting to reach the top three best in New York.

I haven’t gone home for weeks now, I just stay at Shirley’s place but today she insisted on coming over to my house, which is one of the reasons why I’m in a hurry, I need Ava to leave the room for the both of us before Sherly arrives, the mere thought of my Sherly alone got my heart throbbing. We have been through a lot. I can’t imagine someone coming from somewhere to destroy the relationship that we toiled hard to build.

I shut down my laptop as I made to drive home when Raymond my best friend entered

“Hey buddy” He greeted and shook hands with me

“Where to?”

“Home, I need to arrange my house before Sherly arrives”

“Man… I’ve told you to cut things with Sherly she ain’t what you think”

“Enough!!!!!” I screamed, Ray never like Sherly from day one till now, for reasons best known to him

“That’s my woman”

‘Man you got a wife”

“Ohhh please she’s nobody”

“Careful you never can tell who’s real”

“Fuck you annoy the hell out of me”

“See you later” He shrugged while walking out while I carried my bag and walked out of my office.

My driver saw me and opened the door hurriedly, I slid in while he closed the door he rushed towards the driver’s seat and sat down he ignited the car back to life and drove off. The drive to the house wants a long distance I hopped down from the car immediately we entered as I advanced towards our room only to meet Sherly sitting on the Couch in the living room.

“Baby……” She crush and engulf me in a tight hug, but I noticed she doesn’t look so well

“What is it?” I asked but she kept quiet,

”Baby….”

“I miss you” She pouted looking like the goddess she is

“Two minutes,” I said and wink at her before leaving for upstairs.

I went upstairs only for me to see Ava laying on the bed sleeping, only the sight of her got my blood boiling, for fucksake it’s supposed to be Sherly lying on this bed and not the other way round. I gritted my teeth angrily trying to control my anger, my gist is already coiled up in a ball. She’s lucky I don’t hit women, as I storm towards her, I could hear the sound of every step I take.

“Wake up” I gritted out, shrugging her shoulders recklessly, but then something caught my attention, making me stop whatever it is that I’m doing. on her arms are scratches, she patched them up with a bandage, and her knees have scratches even on her lips.

I shifted away from her. I know I don’t love her but at this point, I suddenly feel guilty. I feel like it’s my fault that she’s like this. I know it’s my fault. She must have gotten this injury when I pushed her away from my office, emotions clouded me. This was my best friend, but then…. she ruined everything, especially my life, my whole system when she took my life away from me.

I felt tired just like the strength I had minutes ago suddenly vanished from I had minutes ago while coming just vanished from my body leaving me tired having no option on what to do, I turn back to leave only to flinch back in fright…. when I saw Sherly standing on the door with her two hands folded below her boobs.

“Where are you going while she’s still there?” She asks angrily, damn! I hate to see her in anger and knowing I’m the cause of that anger made my heart tighten,

“I…. I….” I tried to speak but it was just like I suddenly lost my choice of words leaving me choiceless.

“You have suddenly gone dumb because your wife is here and I’m a nobody?” She asks as her voice become hoarse from choking in tears

“No baby…. It’s not it” I said walking towards her as I tried to calm her down but she stopped me with a hold of her right hand making me halt on my steps. I tried to form my choice of words but it’s like they suddenly vanished leaving me choiceless.

“Did I even mean anything to you?” She asked, holding onto her heart and that was all it took for me to melt. I feel like killing someone for her.

“What’s going on?” I heard Ava’s voice as I turned to see her rubbing her eyes while sleeping.

“Well the thing is that you biyltch stole what belongs to me” Sherly gritted out as she walk towards her angrily and held onto her hair as she started pulling it, I wanted to interfere but no… that’s what Ava wanted, I stood as I watch Sherly hit her head on the wall severally and Ava could only whimperConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Nhhhh this is too much” I walk up to Sherly as I grabbed her by the back

“Baby it’s okay” I muttered slowly, hugging her to my chest, but she pushed me off and stormed out but not before glaring daggers at Ava. Looking at Ava she looked destruct, her whole hair was scattered, her injured lip was bleeding , all her patched scars were bleeding.

She looked up at me with tears, I saw so many emotions in her eyes, I watched as she fought to stand up from the bed, I saw blood on the wall from the hit. She couldn’t stand up, She did back on the bed and did nothing but to cover herself with the duvet, I made to walk out when She said

“Thanks for treating me like trash, be happy cause I will let you go soon”
