The contract

CHAPTER ONE

After Divorce, Ex Husband Fell In Love With Me

It was her grandfather's funeral and the world couldn't be more weighing down on her.She felt she had lost all hope to live.When she was just a little girl and her parents passed away leaving her behind, her grandfather had took her in and treated her like she was his immediate daughter. She loved him so much.It has being three month since he passed away, and her heart had been shredded to several pieces since then. She doesn't care about anything anymore just like she had lost the hope to live. Her grandfather who initiated everything was gone now, what was left?She sniffed in bitterly as she concluded with herself to serve Lucas a divorce paper as soon as she gets home.Lucas never wanted it anyways, hence there was no need to stay any longer. Her eyes held coldness in them and her focus was far away, thinking of how to get away from Lucas whom she considered a devil.She sniffed in, fighting the tears threatening to drop her eyes.A beep sound could be heard and she brought out her phone."Just as you requested, the papers are ready now.." The message read."Alright, I'll get them." She replied back and placed back her phone in her bag.She was wearing a black gown, along with a black shade that compliment with her mourning state. Lucas had came earlier and left immediately for his work as he had said, leaving her alone to her woes at the funeral, she cried herself to stupor with no one to blame or lean on.She removed her shade to wipe a fling of tears that had escaped her eyes and then wore it back.The funeral prayer was over and everyone had to leave now including her.She extended her greetings to everyone and set out of the funeral home.When she got to the road, she stopped a taxi and hopped in almost immediately.Just as she was about to dropped down from the taxi, she brought it to her "You don't need to stress yourself Mrs Jasmine I've brought it down for you. And Good luck with your decision." Her lawyer muttered."Thank you Mrs Ray." She muttered and sat back down inside the taxi.She couldn't wait to get home now and serve him this papers just as she couldn't wait to get away from him forever.Five years ago when she had just clocked twenty, her grandfather had made an alliance with Lucas Grandfather, Mr Kingsley Greywood to get them married since Lucas could take care of her, according to her grandfather. The two had never knew each other or ever liked each other from anywhere, but once their grandparents suggested like that, they had no choice but to comply with the decree.They got married but Lucas drew a contract and brought it to her.She was shocked, but since it was a loveless marriage, it could be of advantage to her as well. They never had feelings for each other anyways, hence she agreed to sign the contract but unless she had a thorough read first.She sat on the couch while Lucas sat opposite her and the contract placed on the center table."I'll have to read it first." She muttered picking up the papers.'Agreement between J and L (J for Jasmine and L for Lucas)'-That J and L are just occupants of the apartment and nothing more, meaning J and L are only married on paper.-That even when L brought a girl to this house J will have nothing to say about it.She shooked her head vigorously at the second clause.There was no way she would let him disrespect her that much, and that was also a risk to her security. Lucas was a famous and brutal business man who was known to be strict with negotiation and had brought his company to excel so many times. He was a gorgeous man loved by all, business class girls including actresses and models often threw themselves at him which he never failed to used them. Bringing them to his home where Jasmine lives with him was a great threat to her security as some had even gone to the extent of being obsessive about him."No I won't accept that." Her heart thumbs faster in anxiety as he was that notorious with agreements and could refused her rejection. But instead, Lucas nonchalantly nodded."Let's rewrite the contract according to your wish then." He muttered.It surprised her, but she composed herself."Alright let's decree." She muttered and Lucas nodded at her to start first."That L will not bring any girl to this apartment to commit his atrocities.""That J will not question anything I had to do with my life outside the house.""That L will never for any reason look at my side.""Yes, I'm known for minding my business and I love it, hence even if J is dying I shall not look at her side.""That J will not be found in my space for any reason.""Yes, what will I be doing in your space anyways, that L wouldn't be found in my space either.""That J will always notify me of her whereabouts.""Why must I tell you my whereabouts when I don't know or care about yours?""I don't care about yours either, but I won't want your grandfather questioning me when you get kidnapped by some business enemies."She cleared her throat."Okay, that J is not responsible for L food and will cook anything she loves to eat at anytime.""I've got cooks, chefs, maids, gardeners, cleaners and lots more of them, so that shouldn't be a problem."With that, Lucas left with it and brought it back the next day for her signature which she signed boldly and he left with it.Since then they had being abiding by it until she decided she couldn't continue this sham of a marriage anymore, since the one she was even committing to the marriage because of was no more.Her phone light suddenly brightened up and she shooked her head at the content of the message. It was from one of Lucas b!tch again. This had being happening for long now as they kept sending her nude pictures of themselves and Lucas on a bed to get her provoked to leave. But they never knew she and Lucas were only married on papers and that those pictures never moved her.While she was almost closed to the house, a thought suddenly popped on her head.The fact that Lucas might not be home right now wrecked her mind but she had to give him today by any means, even if it had to be at the office.Hence she decided to go to his office, and in few minutes, she was standing in front of a tall mirror building that's almost reaching fifteen storey.It reminded her of the last time she had came here.That was when her grandfather had sent her to Lucas and she even had to caught him making out with his b!tchy secretary.She dumped the thoughts aside and made her way into the building. Anxiety finding it's way to her guts, what if she was doing a wrong thing coming to his office?? This was never written in the contract, what if he Sue her?? She couldn't stop thinking until she had to scold herself."Jasmine focus, you're here already, whatever comes with it, deal with it, so far it'll take you away from him." She scolded. She swiftly took the elevator to his floor, and just as she was about opening his door, she was met face to face with the b!tchy secretary.
