Billionaire's Rebound: A story of Healing and Love. Chapter 13:
Carla Rodriguez.Time: 10:15 am.Location: Hall's vet clinic downtown in Hudson.Life's hasty decisions have a way of humbling each and every one of us and this moment was that point in my life.I'm getting divorced today and married again in two days! Fuck Carla why are you doing this to yourself? I glanced at the divorce papers that I had already signed at Ethan's office and sighed heavily with quivering hands.Was marrying Ethan Black the right decision??? I bit the nail on my index finger while I mulled deeply.Ten million cheddars or divorced and broke?Ah, fuck it Carla, three hundred and sixty-five days for ten million cheddars is nothing compared to working for peanuts in ten years for the government system.I glanced at Ethan and he was preoccupied with his phone... Umh, What an adoring future husband indeed, I rolled my eyes and looked back at the clinic building and for some reason, my legs were paralyzed in one spot. My mind surged with doubt but I really needed to deliv

Carla Rodriguez.Time: 9:00 pm. Eleven hours to yet another dreadful marriage.Location: Hudson Square, by Alice's house.I'm divorced at last!!! But only for a few hours. I guess having billions like Ethan Black had its peaks to it. I exhaled softly on the window and fog formed… then I drew a face with an upside-down smile because that was how I felt.Not so long ago was I being honored with words of praise by my ex-husband did he accept to divorce me and accept to marry his skink gold-digging pregnant bitch… I heaved a sigh with droopy shoulders.Richard Hall was my everything before the divorce and naturally, I was going to be miserable for a while because there is no ordinary human being who could just move on from a previous relationship like a robot without any emotions.And now, I thank God I never got pregnant for his ass, because I could have been entangled in a loveless marriage with hundreds of children from other women Richard intended to sow his seed in."So let me get th

Carla Rodriguez Black.Time: 08:05 am.Location: New York's City Hall, between Broadway and Park Row, Manhattan.A wedding day for any woman was supposed to be the happiest but today felt like I was going into yet another hell hole after the experience I had with Richard.What if Ethan Black doesn't pay me?What if he cheats on me as Richard did?What if his family I know nothing about cursed me for marrying their beloved son without notice?What happens when they find out I was once a divorcee?All these questions ran in my mind as I second-guessed my hasty decision to get married again."You look beautiful dear." Alice pushed back tiny bits of loose hair strings that kept misbehaving even though I had spent over an hour just fixing my unresponsive hair. My armpits, sweating profusely."Are you sure" I stammered while pacing back and forth at the huge wooden double doors to the private room Ethan had hired for the private service we were holding.Wealthy people with their endless sol

Carla Rodriguez Black.Time: 11:45 am.Location: Nearing Black's Effie Tower at Ethan's residence.I'm officially Mrs. Black now! Who thought I would nab New York's most eligible bachelor?I exhaled slowly whilst looking at the tall buildings of Manhattan.Why did he pick me over his long-time girlfriend?The awkward silent drive to Ethan's penthouse pushed me to recall Crystal's bleak face from one of the top tabloid magazines I had once read about her extravagant lash lifestyle with Ethan… and they looked so damn good together if you asked me.I wondered why he did not marry her instead.I darted at Ethan in the corner of my eye and could see him lost in thought. Could it be he was still in love with her?I swallowed hard while my heart thumped wildly.Carla, get your shit together. This marriage is contractual, remember that.I sneered silently with pouted lips and then the driver came to a stop at Ethan's penthouse building... New home at last.I sighed silently."I have urgent m

Ethan Black.Time: 11:59 am.Location: Black Business Eiffel Tower.Finally, I had fulfilled Dad's last wish by tying the knot even though it was not out of love, hence now it was time to save the company and not for honeymooning like Mother and Carla insisted.Carla was no doubt breathtakingly beautiful today but I was done with anything with a pussy in-between its legs because all women are just cheating glutton swine who don't deserve love, especially if it was coming from me.Still in my wedding suit, I sat stiffly in my chair at the head of the long, polished mahogany table in the boardroom. My mother, Sylvia, sat to my left, her expression set in a mask of stoicism. To my right sat the two shareholders, Miller and Gracia, both looking equally tense.We were all waiting for the attorney to arrive, the man who would finally activate my father's shares in the Black Industry, and then I will be the sole boss of the empire. The silent tension in the room was palpable as if the very a

Ethan Black.Time: 7:58 pm.Location: penthouse nestled atop central park Tower Manhattan.I sat quietly in my penthouse corner bar, gazing out the window at the twinkling lights of the city below. I took a sip of my whiskey, savoring the smoky flavor as it warmed my throat and I cringed my face slightly at the bitter taste. It had been a long stressful day at the office after Mother left, and I was grateful for the peace and quiet of my private sanctuary.But as I looked around the dimly lit room, I realized that something was off. It was too quiet. Didn't I have a new bride somewhere around here??? I needed to put my new devious scheme into action of siring an heir to the Black industry.I furrowed my brows in concern. Where could she be? I turned to Victoria, who was tidying up the bar. "Victoria, have you seen my wife?"Victoria looked up from her work, a frown creasing on her forehead. "No, Mr. Black, I haven't seen her since she left as soon as she arrived."My frown deepened

Carla Rodriguez Black. Time: 06:04 am Location: penthouse.The night was prolonged and I had spent most of it twisting and turning in my huge bed wondering why Ethan was so disrespectful to a mere friend of mine.Could it be that he was jealous or what?I stared at the chandelier while I mulled deeply about the new strange possessive behavior he displayed last night.Why was he in such a nasty mood? Could it be that he did not take full charge of the company?But he said I should not bother him about his whereabouts and he will reciprocate the gesture towards me. But what changed? I cupped my lips together while the noisy streets of Manhattan made it even harder to fall asleep. I peeked at the wall clock in my room, and the time was not moving faster than I wanted it.Fuck this, let me go find out why he treated me like that. I rumbled out of the king king-size and strolled straight for his room, forgetting that I only unraveled a sexy yellow lacey spaghetti strap short nightie Etha

Carla Rodriguez Black.Time: 5:47 pm.Location: unknown.As the car began to slow down, I could feel my body being gently pushed forward by the seat belt, and once the car came to a complete stop, I forced my eyes open and was immediately struck by the stunning sight in front of me, my jaw dropping slightly, because of a quaint cottage nestled among the trees. "Where are we?" I asked Ethan because the sun had already set and the ten-hour trip took a toll on me, leaving me exhausted and in need of a good rest."We are in Alexandra Bay." Ethan turned off the car engine with a splitting grin across his face even though his eyes were growing heavier."Wow, and we are spending the weekend here?" I gawked at the marvelous sight before me."Whose place is this?" I furrowed my brows slightly with one raised."It's mine." Ethan beamed and got out of the car.Of course, you own it too. I sneered silently while getting out of the car to get a better view of the place.The cottage was made of crea

Carla Rodriguez Black,A few blissful months later after I had given Ethan another chance to make things right, our relationship was growing strong with each passing day but like any other ordinary couple, we had our petty disagreements which we solved and continued loving each, we traveled the world and I marveled at new sights I had only seen in magazines and made memories with him… with this said, let me not bore you with it and bring to the present time,Lightning flashed across the dark, menacing sky as rain poured down in torrents outside our penthouse windows. The wind howled, pounding against the glass panes while the thunder roared, shaking the very foundation of our home.

Ethan Black.An hour later,My heart pounded as I stormed into my luxurious penthouse, the heavy doors to the elevator closing behind me. I needed to find Carla and finally disclose the truth that I had been hiding from her for far too long and this was all thanks to the sudden interest from Crystal's attempt to seduce me, had it urged me to reveal the sinister web that I had entangled her in."Carla!" I called out, my voice echoing through the expansive hallway. But instead of her familiar face, I was met with the warm smile of Victoria."Mr. Black, you're back," Victoria greeted me, surprise evident in her eyes. "Mrs. Black is in your office, finishing up with her online class.""Okay, thanks," I answered back, my anxiety heightened as I rushed towards my office, my mind racing with the weight of my secret.

Ethan Black,A few days later,Location: Black industries.I sat at my desk, engrossed in the countless reports scattered all around me. The luxurious office, adorned with tasteful artwork and polished furniture, seemed to fade away as I delved deeper into the number of reports I had to go through because of my leave of absence from the company. I was slowly fitting back in my seat of becoming the undisputed CEO of Blacks Industries, a successful billionaire drowning in responsibilities, that's who I was.Everything else had to come second in my life.As the late afternoon sun peered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a warm glow over the room, my mind wrestled with the never-ending demands of the corporate world. It was in this whirlwind of thoughts that a sudden knock at my office door caught my attention."Come in," I called, my voice tinged with annoyance at the interruption, I briefly looked up to see who was disturbing me even after I strictly told Ava no visitors to

Carla Rodriguez Black,A few weeks after the operation…As I diligently tended to Ethan's surgical incision in our opulent penthouse, the tranquility of the moment was shattered by a sudden wave of nausea crashing over me. I got up from the chair I sat in and staggered backward, my hand instinctively cradling my stomach, feeling lightheadedness washing over me like a tidal wave. Panic started to rise within me. Something was not right."Baby, are you okay?" Ethan asked."Ethan," I managed to utter, my voice trembling, "Something's wrong. I don't feel well."Ethan's worried eyes immediately filled with concern as he swiftly rose from the couch, rushing to my side. "Carla, what happened? Should I call the doctor?" He put his palm on my forehead as if he wanted to take my temperature.Nodding weakly, I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to steady myself. "Yes, please. I don't know what's happening to me but my body suddenly feels drained of energy.""Maybe it's because of the blood you

Richard Hall,Location: Hudson Square.Time: 7:43 pm.I stepped into my house, my heart heavy with anticipation. I had been away on a business trip, and while I longed to see my fiancé Karen again, there was an unease gnawing at my gut. As I walked through the front door, the familiar sounds of laughter reached my ears, followed by a soft whisper that sent chills down my spine."Your kisses are tickling my neck, stop it," Karen's voice floated towards me from the living room, I immediately knew she had company.But who could be possibly tickling her with kisses?I quickened my pace, eager to reunite with her after days of separation.

Carla Rodriguez Black,The next afternoon at the hospital…The sterile scent of antiseptic filled the air, suffocating my senses as I stood outside the forbidding double doors of the operating room. My heart pounded wildly, trapped within the confines of my chest, while my mind raced with fear and anxiety. The fate of my beloved husband, Ethan, hung in the balance, teetering between life and death, on the precipice of a monumental decision."Good morning Carla," Sylvia stormed into the private waiting room I was waiting for Ethan… her normal elegant demeanor vanished. "Has the operation started already?" She asked with a pale face."Yes," I murmured."Oh dear, the New York traffic was hell, that's why I'm late." She said."It's okay, Ethan told me to tell you that he loves you and can't wait to see you after the operation." I delivered Ethan's last words to his mother and she whimpered."My poor boy." She flickered her eyes rapidly as she avoided dropping a tear."He will be fine" I r

It was my first time on such an extravagant boat, and I savored the moment, knowing it would be a night to remember.The evening sky, painted in hues of orange and pink, created a breathtaking backdrop as I made my way towards Ethan, who stood near the edge of the deck, a gentle smile playing on his lips. His presence was comforting, and my nerves began to settle as I approached him."Wow, Ethan, this yacht is incredible!" I exclaimed, my voice filled with awe. I couldn't help but feel a rush of gratitude for the opportunity to experience such splendor alongside a man I was growing to care deeply for.Ethan chuckled, his warm laughter filli

Carla Rodriguez Black,"Ethan, she is asking about your health and not the mess we have created," I whispered to him, and for a moment he seemed dumbfounded by the chaos that lay in front of him.Then his face lit up like what I said made sense to him. " Oh, shit" he clasped his exposed buttocks with crimson cheeks. "Mother, I strictly told the doctor not to worry you with my business because I have already scheduled an operation for this week…" he spoke calmly and Sylvia raised her perfectly drawn eyebrow."Umh." She murmured with a stern poise." Besides it's the job of my wife to worry about me now and not you." He responded firmly and I gasped with shock.So he does want me to worry about his welfare…. I sneered silently while glaring at him.Mrs. Black frowned briefly but regained her composure, "I see," she replied, her voice icy. "I suppose I should've called before coming over. Clearly, I've interrupted something... intimate." She added.Ethan's grip on my arm tightened, a pro

Finally, I can say my life was getting back on track. I cringed my eyes shut as the golden sun began its descent, casting an enchanting hue over the city skyline. I sighed softly as I found myself standing on the balcony of the penthouse. My heart fluttered with anticipation of what my future held as a sense of excitement tingled through my veins. My contractual marriage had turned out to be a blessing in disguise after all.A chilly breeze embraced my skin as I only wore Ethan's shirt after the sexcapade we had again, but I was too delighted to feel the cold breeze clung to my skin. I grinned while looking down at the busy streets of New York."Hey, beautiful." Ethan wrapped his hands across my waist and kissed my neck softly. "It's getting chilly,
