“Hi, Ryan,” Melinda replied, her voice was flat and filled with scorn. She walked into the office, her eyes focused on the woman sitting at the office desk.

“Hello, please I’m here to see Ryan. Can I borrow him for a minute?”

“And you are?” The woman asked as she raised her eyebrow, curiosity written all over her face. A brief silence filled the air and then Ryan and Melinda blurted out almost at the same time,

“He lives with me,”

“She’s my ex-wife,”

They both gave themselves a hard, cold stare before returning to the woman who was looking at them with so much confusion. Finally, the woman waved her hand dismissively, “Whatever… I’m done with him anyway.”

Without saying a word, Ryan and Melinda walked out of the office, the tension between them thick. They walked down the staircase in silence, only the soft thug of their footsteps making a sound.

Melinda paused at the bottom of the staircase and looked at the chair in the waiting room, contemplating whether they sat there or not but

  • Divorced my abusive husband, married my billionaire boss    Chapter 36

    Melinda gasped as Ethan’s intense eyes locked on her, the undeniable chemistry between them electric. Their lips met again, filled with longing and speed. Ethan’s hands explored her thighs, then moved to her back, unzipping her dress when suddenly, the door swung open.Lila stormed in, her voice sharp and demanding, “Ethan, why aren't you picking up your calls?! The entire board members and shareholders are waiting for you in the conference hall.”Her gaze was all over the place, and then it landed on the two of them, her expression hardening as she saw them. “So this is what you're doing? In the office, really Ethan?! And your investors are waiting for you downstairs!”Ethan simply rolled his eyes, unbothered, while Melinda hopped down from the office desk, her cheeks burning with embarrassment. Lila gave Melinda a venomous stare, her words soaked in cruelty,“This is the work you came here to do right? Being a whore!”“That’s enough Lila,” Ethan cut in immediately, his voice low and

    “Where the fuck are you?! Aren't you supposed to be here to make my dinner before I leave for work?!” Ryan’s angry voice echoed through the phone. “Melinda’s heart skipped, a familiar knot of anxiety twisting in her stomach. “I’m so sorry baby. I completely lost track of time. I'm on my way home now, just give me a few minutes.” She quickly gathered her things and left the office, hoping Ryan wasn't too upset. Melinda rushed through the front door, apologizing as she slammed the door closed. “Baby please don't get upset, I was so engrossed in work that I completely forgot I had to make you launch before you left for work,” she pleaded as she kept her handbag on the parlor table. The room went silent, the only sound being the voices of people talking on the TV. Ryan was on the couch, staring at the TV screen as he gulped his beer. For a few moments, he remained quiet and still. Then he spoke. “You must think you've made it now huh? You're the first person to get a promotion righ

    “Hahahahaha!” Ryan's laughter echoed through the kitchen. For a while, he kept laughing then he stopped. “You and I know you aren't going anywhere, love. Now fix my food before I come out!” He sneered, his voice dulled to a sinister whisper. Melinda's tears fell like rain, her head throbbing with excruciating pain, and her body trembling as she sobbed. She needed to calm herself down and figure out what to make for Ryan, but her tears seemed to have a will of their own, controlling her every move. Six years of marriage with Ryan had conditioned her to believe she was nothing without him. He ripped her of all her self-worth and confidence with his consistent cruelty and vile words and she grew to believe him. She was tired of it all and what gave her the strength to somehow believe she could leave him, was the fire that ignited within her every passing day. Her feelings for Ethan, her billionaire boss. Gathering her strength, she cooked chicken sauce and mashed potatoes from lef

    “Hello? Are you still there?” Ethan’s voice broke the silence. Melinda’s heart skipped a beat as she snapped back to reality. “Um, yes boss, sorry. You don't have to worry, I'll find my way, I don't want to impose” she muttered, her voice barely a whisper. “Who said you were imposing?” Ethan replied, this time, firm and cold. “I'll be in your office in fifteen minutes, be ready,” he continued and immediately hung up, leaving Melinda disoriented and anxious. Her thoughts swirled as she walked towards her office ceiling-long glass window, the warm evening sun creating a shiny glow on her face. As she looked out, she couldn't help but sense a surge of excitement at the thought of sitting next to Ethan in his car, alone with him, but her logical side warned her of the possibility of Ryan being home to witness Ethan dropping her off. Ryan’s temper was unpredictable and he overreacted to everything. If he saw Ethan, he may misinterpret their innocent encounter and beat her up, she

    A woman working in the reception center quickly approached Ryan, her voice firm. “Sir, you need to leave. Now, please.” Ryan stood tall, his eyes filled with rage, his grip on Melinda tightening. “I’m not going anywhere!” he yelled, his voice echoing through the walls. “Tell that asshole who has been screwing my wife to come out now! That's what you guys do here right?! Fucking people’s wives!” he continued. The receptionist hurried to her desk, her fingers racing over the phone keypad. “Security! We need you here immediately!” she said. The hall erupted into a frenzy. People began to whisper to themselves, their eyes wide with intrigue. Some pulled out their phones and began capturing the chaos unfolding. “Ryan, stop this, please! Why are you embarrassing me!” Melinda snapped, her face flushed with humiliation. “You be quiet! Shameless woman. Now I see why they gave you a promotion!” he sneered. Melinda tried again to pull her hands away but Ryan’s grip only tightened.

    Melinda’s eyes slowly opened, but the bright light forced her eyelids to close back up once more. The faint sounds of voices and beeping machines swirled around her, making her head spin. As she drifted in and out of consciousness, she sensed her body being moved, the sensation of chaos surrounding her. She managed to open her eyes again, and the light felt softer and she noticed she was in a hospital bed. An IV drip fed into her arm, and machines beeped quietly beside her. Panic gripped her as she struggled to remember how she got there. On scanning the room, her gaze landed on Ethan’s PA who was sitting next to her, her focus on her phone. The PA looked up, relief evident on her face, and she quickly dialed a number on her phone. “She’s awake, Sir,” she said into the phone. Turning to Melinda, she gently uttered, “Ma’am, please hold on, let me call the doctor.” A few minutes later, the PA returned with a tall, young doctor in a lab coat and a stethoscope around his neck.

    Ethan guided Melinda into her home. Jane, his assistant, followed behind, struggling with bags of groceries and treats.Melinda collapsed into the cushion, her eyelids gently closing as she breathed out a gentle sigh. “I appreciate this Sir, thank you for taking me to the hospital…” her words withered into a whisper.“No, you should be grateful to the policeman who came back to check on who your husband was yelling at,” Ethan cut her off, his deamour hardening as he sat across her.A thick silence shrouded the parlor as Ethan’s stare stayed on Melinda.“Please, which prison is he in?” Melinda broke the silence, her voice barely audible.“Black Ice Maximum security prison,” Ethan replied, his tone cold. “I made sure he was put there. He disrespected me in front of my clients, he deserves to suffer” he continued.Melinda lowered her eyes as she fiddled with her fingers nervously. Ethan broke the silence.“Leave him. You're the one stopping me from making sure he rots in jail for abusing

    ‘Ma’am, may I wait in the car?” the driver politely called out from outside, his voice softly breaking the tense conversation Melinda was having with Ryan.“Baby, still there? You're coming this morning, right?” Ryan inquired, his voice rich with anticipation and a sense of entitlement. Melinda stared at her phone screen, her fingers stuck in the air, and her face thick with frustration.With quick preciseness, she ended the call with a firm tap. The sudden silence felt like fresh air as she quickly called out to the driver.“I’m coming! Give me a second!” She said as she hurriedly got ready. “Ryan can wait, I need this” she mumbled to herself. She needed the break, and a vacation was too enticing to resist. “Take this as punishment baby,” she added with a touch of insolence in her voice.She had overslept, worn out from her visit to the hospital yesterday and the emotionally draining conversation she had with Ethan.Her feet rushed across the floor as she brushed her teeth and packe

    Silence fell on the room, dense and stifling. Deborah stared at the open space as her thoughts raced, and Amelia’s gaze stayed fixed on her, waiting and trying to figure out what her mother would say.Deborah’s fingers unconsciously traced the shape of her jawline, her face hardening with uncertainty. “You're right,” she said calmly with conviction. “Let's just see how this goes…. If Ethan keeps being a stubborn goat, we will have no choice. She needs to be taken out of the picture.”Amelia’s lips widened with a sinister grin, her eyes sparkling with malice. “Yes!” she spat, her tone filled with spite. “I can't wait to take that bitch out… permanently!”Her voice was cold, devoid of any regret. She gradually shifted her gaze to the mirror in front of her, her thoughts already scheming. The two women sat in silence, their shared grudge choking the room as they stared ahead, united in their evil plans.——The door creaked as it opened and Melinda entered her parlor. On entering, a fou

    Irene paused, her eyes fixed on Melinda as she struggled to find the right words. Her voice trembled, stumbling over words until she finally found the right words to say. “I r-returned back b-because…” She paused and adjusted herself, holding Melinda’s hands tightly. Her grip was warm yet unsteady, betraying the calm she desperately tried to show.“I came back because I needed to be close to you. Yes, I assumed you were probably dead but this city… It’s where I last saw you. I had to come back… to feel close to you.”She took a deep breath, her eyes dropping briefly before returning to Melinda again. “Then Sarah… the bitch is bedridden. God has helped me to punish her for all her sins, she’s now too weak to even pursue me. When I found out about her condition, I knew it was time… I had to come back.”Melinda studied her mum’s face, her expression reading skepticism. There was something about Irene’s story that felt off. The words seemed rehearsed, and her emotions felt overly calcula

    “Melinda… There’s nothing I’d say to you now that will make you feel better. Sometimes, I wish I could turn back the hands of time and make better decisions…” She paused, her eyes on Melinda, while Melinda’s gaze was still distant, her expression unreadable.“I and your father didn't just decide to leave you and run away… We did that because we were scared. His ex wanted to kill us all,” Irene continued.Melinda’s eyes shifted to Irene as she stared at her in disbelief. It felt like a bad joke.Irene continued, “His ex was my best friend, Sarah, who came from a powerful, wealthy family. She was obsessed with your father, but her family didn't approve of him… He wasn't “worthy,” they said, so she married another man. Unfortunately, her heart was still with him.” “Eventually we fell in love with each other and kept it a secret from Sarah for many years, hiding it like thieves. When you eventually came into the picture, your father got tired of hiding. He believed Sarah had moved on, so

    “Yes Boss!” Liam’s voice echoed from the kitchen as he rushed out, his steps hurried and anxious.“Where were you when she was cooking this… this abomination?!” Ethan roared, his voice vibrating across the dining room into the parlor as his eyes were fiercely on Liam.“S-sir… I was preparing smoked salmon with poached eggs when she walked into the kitchen, demanding to make your meal for you. I tried to explain to her that it was my duty to make your meals but she insisted, Sir.” Liam stuttered, his hands twisted behind his back, as his head slightly bowed.“I'm very sorry for the inconvenience Sir.” He continued, his hand gripping the other tightly, and his head still lowered slightly in compliance.Etjan’s eyes shifted to Amelia as he stared down at her. She stood beside him, trembling as she sobbed.“B-baby… I’m so sorry, let me make something else for you please, don't be upset…” she stammered.“Make what?!...” Ethan snapped. “Do you even know how to prepare anything meal at all?

    Ethan turned off the shower with a quick twist, water dripping down from his hair as he faced Amelia. “Amelia, what is it?” he growled, his voice echoing off the bathroom tiles, low and controlled as he tried to suppress his rising anger. Amelia stood there unbothered, her face broadened by a wide smile, stretching the bandage on her forehead. “Baby, which would you prefer? Pancakes, shrimp, or bacon? I'm thinking of making pancakes with scrambled eggs but I don't know… would you prefer pancakes with bacon or shrimp and grits with Andouille sausage?” She replied, her tone bright and cheerful as if she didn't barge in on him taking a shower. Her legs and hands moved dramatically as she spoke, her eagerness engulfing the entire space.Silence fell, only the sound of drops of water from the shower was disrupting the silence. Ethan stared at her, his jaw tightening as he processed the drama unfolding before him. Then, with a quiet sigh, he responded, “Go to the room, I'm coming…”Ame

    Melinda turned, her heart almost racing out of her chest. She gasped as her eyes landed on the figure calling her. It was a woman… similar in height and physique, with the same dark black hair as hers, though shorter. The resemblance was striking, almost like staring at her reflection.“Mother…” The words escaped her lips like a shaky whisper. Her legs trembled under her. This was a woman she had mourned, a woman she thought was dead! The mother she hadn't seen since she was five years old. There she was, standing right in front of her. It felt like she had seen a ghost.For a brief moment, it felt like time had come to a halt. They just stared at each other, lips slightly opened but no words to describe the moment or say anything at all. Tears gathered in Irene’s eyes, glowing like delicate jewels as they dropped. She stared at her little girl, now a woman, alive and healthy. A wave of relief and guilt washed over her. This was a child she had to leave in the care of child protecti

    Then Ethan broke the silence., his tone harsh and sharp, seeking clarification.“Excuse me?… Coming to stay with me because?…” His face twisted, revealing a blend of confusion and growing rage.“Because your carelessness put her in that condition! You owe her that much Ethan!… My daughter, my only daughter!… What if she didn't survive huh?!” Deborah replied instantly, her voice rising like thunder, her eyes burning with anger as she pointed an accusing finger on Ethan.Ethan’s eyebrows twisted as his patience began to run out. “Hold on… your daughter came to my place… on her own accord. I didn't invite her nor did I cause her to slip and fall. So how's this a result of my carelessness?”“Besides, I thought she left at the time I told her to leave. How was I supposed to know she'll go hide in my kitchen to attack my guest after I left!” Ethan snapped, his voice escalating with each statement as his irritation boiled over.“That’s not the issue here! My daughter can't go back to that bi
