CHAPTER THREE

After Divorce, Ex Husband Fell In Love With Me

Leo gasped but Jack didn't quiver as he just accomplished his mission, making him spill who she really was.But the fact Lucas refused to acknowledge such a pretty lady, amazed him."You mean this is the woman you don't love and refused to show us or the media?" Leo spoke out of surprise."She's way too beautiful than all this plastic surgery actresses you carry up and down Bruh, is there anything you're hiding from us??""None," Jack spoke on his behalf."Except their marriage was arranged." "If my marriage was arranged with someone like that, I would love her and cherish her with the whole of my life. By the way, if you don't want her, you can pass it here." Leo complimented."Shut the f*ck up you two, you're busting my ears." He suddenly yelled out of frustration.Since they were adding more to his confusion, he stood and left without a glance back at them.When he got to his car, he wondered why he had to be so worked up at Leo's words."If you don't want her, you can pass it here." It rang in his ears and he couldn't be more disgusted at himself."{Why the f*ck am I overreacting? she can leave if she want! It remove absolutely nothing from my life}."Once he got home, he walked slowly on tiptoes to prevent his legs from making any sounds trying to avoid Jasmine by all means.He branched the kitchen to get a bottle of water and there he met it.A note paper attached to the kitchen handle."If you've signed it, you can drop it here." He read and a painful scoffs escaped his mouth. He looked through his bag and fetched it out.With a light squize on the paper, she dashed off vigorously to her room.But then, the scene he met broke him to several pieces.Jasmine had a music banging loud in her room, along with a non alcoholic wine while she danced to the tune.His jaw dropped and his eyes opened wide.She really wanted this.She had thoughts severally on this and finally decided. It made her happy. She wanted to be faraway from him so much. He thoughts and It crushed his heart to several pieces.Meanwhile, Jasmine who was lost in her own world, blending perfectly with her music turned around to see her door slightly opened.She fell rumbly on her butt seeing Lucas with a jaw almost reaching the floor.She swiftly dragged her bedsheets, wrapping it up on her head out of embarrassment.Since when did he start coming to her room??Her forehead held sweats as she finally removed it.She stood up slowly to the door."Welcome.." She muttered almost inaudibly and held her door handle to close it on his face and just then he opened his mouth and spoke."We need to talk."Jasmine flinched at his request.Jasmine flinched at his request.She hated to talk about anything right now as she already felt sad earlier and wouldn't want that feeling to return.But just as she was about to decline, Lucas already turned his back and was gone in a jiffy, just like always.She heaved a heavy breath and staggerd down stairs.He stood in front of the glass window staring effortlessly out of it. And his back turned gracefully at everything in the living room including Jasmine."Is this what you want." He asked coldly."Yes," Jasmine had no other words to say, hence she muttered courtly."Your grandfather's burial was just few hours back and you're ready to let go of what he so wanted for you? were you waiting for his death to get out of this marriage?"This angered Jasmine, she folded her fingers into a tight fist trying to suppress herself from slapping him on the face. But then her anger was nothing compared to that of Lucas as her grandfather had being his closed adviser and mentor right from childhood when he used to visit so much. Their both grandparents were best friends that everyone could think they were blood related. Since the death of the man, he hasn't been finding it funny along with his grandfather who was on a life support machine now due to the death of his only best friend. And now Jasmine wanted a divorce."Grandfather would never want something like this for me. He had always wanted me happy and full of life, not this!" She countered."Aren't you happy?! why aren't you happy! I gave you everything! and I'm following the contract as strictly as possible."Jasmine scoffed painfully, what was the problem in the first place. Why should they be a contract in a marriage.Where as Jasmine bite her lower lips out of pain and anger, Lucas was still wondering where the problem must've originated from as he had always provided everything she needed which was even absolutely nothing out of his wealth."If that's what you want, I'll give it to you." "And do me favor, I don't want to see you when I get back from work tomorrow, be gone! and if you regret this, don't ever think you can come back." He stamped coldly and went away in large strides."Thank you." Jasmine muttered and left back to her room, but now in a sullen state.She felt she had disappointed everybody including her grandfather in the grave.She felt she had disappointed everybody including her grandfather in the grave.Now the what ifs questions was back. What if she was making the wrong decision?She shooked her head vigorously dissolving the feelings of letdown that was building up in her guts. She heard about grandpa Kingsley's condition and her doubts to continue this intensified. She shooked her head once more as she declared."{That's Lucas problems to take care of}."Just then, her phone shone bright and a call came in whose caller ID was one that made her lips curved into a little smile.It was Mrs Ray. "Your husband's lawyer has just called in to finalise your divorce, will you be available tomorrow??""Yes I will, thanks Mrs Ray.""Alright, I have some other things to say to you, I don't how you'll take this though.""Please tell me." Jasmine requested."I'm sorry, but your grandfather's company has been taken away from you"." she voiced.Jasmine's legs wobbled and she fell to the floor with the phone still in her hands."Hello.. hello.." Mrs Ray sounded from the other end as she heard no voice anymore."Do you need me to come over??"She slowly took the phone back to her ears.Although she already knew who must’ve dragged her birthright from her like this, but she still needed to confirm it."Who was it." she managed to speak.
