OUR DIVORCE.
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Elena stopped walking occasionally while she stopped to greet the people that were rushing up to her even though she could still feel Zeke’s presence behind her.
Of course, she knew that people would want to talk to her, secure a meeting, and all of that after tonight’s unveiling but what she was not expecting was her ex-husband crawling up to her in that manner.
“I have been trying to meet with you, Ms. Baskerville,” one of the older businessmen said to her and she forced a smile and nodded her head.
Was she aware that Zeke was going to be present at tonight’s event?
No.
But she hoped that he would be.
She wanted to see his reaction when he saw her six years later, and not to lie, she loved the mystery that was plastered across his face.
Zeke was nothing like she used to know. Although she had watched all of his achievements on the internet and how he had risen to one of the top three billionaires in the whole of America. Still, the media did little justice to his current look.
The Zeke that she used to know had a very fine face that you would not even spot a pimple but seeing the man with his evident under bag eyes right there?
She could only wonder what was going on.
She excused herself from the man and then proceeded to walk to where her chauffeur was.
“Elena!”
He called her name in a whisper as he walked after her till she reached the basement then pulled her arm again.
If there was something she hated so much in the last six years, it was being touched with no permission.
Her family knew that, and she could only make an exception to only two people at the moment.
She clenched her fist and then turned to look at him, her lips twitched upward.
“W… what is going on, Elena?”
He asked her and she stared at him with a tilted head.
“If you ask me a question like this, Mr. Russo, I would not know where to answer you from,” she said, ever calmly.
“What the fuck is Mr. Russo?! I am Zeke!”
“So?”
She watched as he ran his hand in his hair rather roughly and released his grip on her arm.
Why was she enjoying this reaction from him?
Was it because he used to have the upper hand?
Remembering six years ago made her stomach tied in a knot so much that she could even puke at her stupidity.
She had loved him so much that she put herself behind.
She placed him first in everything. She worried about him alone and left herself behind.
If she could go back in time, she would go back to those times when she had been unnecessarily stupid for this man.
“Elena, let’s talk. Please.”
“Why? The last time I checked, we had absolutely nothing to talk about and I would rather appreciate it if it stays at that,” she said with a short bow and then turned to leave.
Again, more roughly, he grabbed her arm and pulled her around to face him. “You are my wife! I deserved to know the truth!” He hollered at her face.
Elena parted her lips at the audacity of her ex-husband and scoffed.
“Were.”
She stated, softly.
“What?”
“Were, Zeke. I am not your wife. I was your wife and I regret ever being that!” She yanked her arm away.
“You are my wife, Elena. I never let you go. We could have ironed things out. You left without telling me!”
Oh… now he was going to blame her?
Because she did not understand him right now and would appreciate it if he could enlighten her better.
She left without telling him?
“Don’t be ridiculous.”
“You know for a fact that I am serious, Elena. Let’s talk. We have a lot to talk about and…”
“Don’t be unfortunate, Zeke!”
Her voice raised and she exhaled while taking a glance around.
The last thing she wanted was to enter a scandal on just the first day that she got announced.
“Are you still mad about what happened six years ago? We can talk about it and I will…”
“If it were up to me, I would act like you don’t exist in my past. Can we both maintain that lane?”
“No, I can not do that. Why should I agree to that bullshit?”
“Bullshit? This was what you fucking wanted! Are you insane?”
“That was then, not anymore. I have searched for you for the past six years and I will not let you go now that I have met you. Let’s go back home, and talk about things.”
Elena feared for a second at the obsessive aura that was oozing from him.
He had never acted like this with her before.
No, she had never seen him act like this with anyone.
He looked like a madman.
If he was given the chance, he looked like he could carry her right here and throw her at the booth of his car.
What was going on?
Why is that happening?
Why had her ex-husband gone crazy?
“Home?” She raised her brows.
“Elena, let’s talk. If you would ask me, I will tell you that I have thousands of things to ask you and I could go mad if I do not have the answers to them,” he panted like he had been in a race for the past an hour.
“Zeke, if YOU would ask me, I would say you have gone mad already,” she stressed her words on purpose, shaking her head.
“That is why we need to talk,” he said.
“Get yourself checked up, Mr. Russo,” she nodded her head and then turned to leave.
“Elena!” He hurried after her again.
“Get off me, Zeke. I never want to see you again!”
“No, you are mistaken. I am your husband and you can’t push me…”
“We are divorced, goddamn it!” She hollered and stopped walking again.
Why was he getting on her nerves?
Why did he keep talking about being her husband?
“D… divorced? We are not,” he shook his head.
Elena nodded her head and turned to leave again. Maybe he had indeed gone crazy. It was just yet to be found out.
“I never applied for our divorce.”
And she stopped walking.
“What?” She raised a brow.
“I never submitted our divorce documents,” he repeated, and a soft smile spread across his lips.

Elena twitched her lips upward and nodded her head. Whether he submitted their divorce documents or not, she cared less.“That is your problem, not mine,” she shrugged her shoulders off and then turned to leave.She made sure she did not stop walking and increased her pace till she reached her car.Her driver got down, opened the door for her, and she got in hurriedly.“Let’s go, please.”By the time Zeke got to the car, the driver had already ignited the engine and was about to drive.Zeke slammed his hands on the tinted window while he called out her name, but even if she spared him a glance from where she sat, he would not know as the windows were heavily tinted.He breathed out as he watched the car drive away, looked around, and then adjusted his clothes stylishly.He fondled his hands in a tight fist and then clenched his teeth.He did not doubt that he would not be sleeping well tonight. He needed not to be told that his usual nightmares would wake him up.Especially now that h

Zeke hesitated to get out of the car as the driver opened the door for him because he knew that getting out of the car was meeting with everyone, including Camila’s parents.It was his mother’s birthday two days ago and because everyone had said they were busy, she had fixed a dinner gathering for today. He adjusted his collar, got out of the car, and then looked around the big mansion.“Sir,” he sighted the butler from afar and then nodded his head at the man who bowed at him.“This way, sir,” he said again.Zeke nodded his head and then walked after the man who turned around and then walked ahead of him, leading him to the garden where they were probably having dinner.“Your mother is so pissed,” he said.Zeke hissed softly and then nodded his head. “How many people are present there?”“Maybe five? Or more than,” he answered, not turning to look at him.Zeke shook his head and walked silently behind the man for a while before he talked again, chuckling slightly.“What are you worrie

Zeke got to his car, and as he prepared to enter the backseat that his driver had opened for him, he turned around and then raised his head to look at his sister’s window.It had been six years since she had talked to him with a smile in her eyes like she used to and all of this was because of what happened with Elena.If there was anyone who hated him because of Elena, it was definitely her. She liked Elena and while they were still together, she used to come over once in a while just to keep her company.The two liked each other so much and back then, he hated that his sister, Chloe, was unnecessarily nice to the woman.When Chloe heard that he had divorced Elena, she yelled, cried, and pleaded with him to bring her back but it was out of his control too.He could not even find a shadow that looked like her.Her and her family’s whereabouts were encrypted and there was no way he could track her.Was she aware that Elena was back?Of course, a lot of TV stations must be circulating he

“Hold on!” Elena stopped walking and turned to look at Ariana and her twins who ran towards her.“What?”Ariana shook her head, covered the space between her and her sister, and then helped her adjust her shirt very well. Elena was wearing a pink shirt and a black suit pant which made her look so professional and corporate.“It’s your first day at work,” Ariana smiled.“You are making it sound like it is a big deal.”“Because it is. You have not worked in over five years and all you have done is supervise anonymously.”Elena nodded her head and smiled. “I know, but it’s not a big deal still.”“I know you are nervous. You can’t lie to me.”Elena breathed out. “Nothing gets past you, does it?” “It is fine, okay? You are doing well.”“I feel like all my moves will be watched now that I am back and… with my past story too. I did not expect everyone to know that I was his ex.”“The Internet does not forget, Elena,” Ariana said and she nodded her head.“You said you met him at the event?

Everyone murmured as she said and then made her way to the elevator while a lady rushed after her. As they entered and the elevator closed, she took a last glance at the surprise that was still plastered across their faces.The woman in the elevator shifted uncomfortably in front of her and she raised her brows. “Why? Do I make you uncomfortable?”“N… no! Not at all,” she stuttered, her head bowed.“Oh?” Elena chuckled.“I… I am your Secretary. I am Marvella Hayes,” she introduced.“Marvella…” Elena smacked her tongue and then nodded her head.She knew about the lady and how capable she was even in her absence. Maybe what everyone didn’t know was that, apart from the CCTV cameras that were evident, there were hidden cameras at every angle, hidden or not, in the company which delivered everything, including what they were saying to give her accurate information about what happened every day in the company, so yes, many people will be fired today.The elevator finally stopped, and Mar

Elena swept her hair rather roughly to the back and stood from the chair, her brows snapped together.“Excuse me?”Zeke looked around again, nodded his head, settled on the chair in the office, and then crossed his legs together.Was he enjoying this?No.But, there was absolutely no other way to meet Elena other than this.Even her cellphone number was encrypted and he could not find it.Why was she hiding and being secretive so much?He knew that if he did not talk to her or go to her, she would not come to him.Well, maybe unless they meet at public gatherings.Elena was bent on avoiding him, and that was evident.He, on the other hand, was not ready to avoid her. He wanted to talk to her.He… wanted to settle things.Since the day he had seen her again, it was most safe to say that he could not close his eyes without seeing the woman.Zeke knew nothing about the reason he was feeling this way because of the woman, but he was bent on settling things and making her forgive him.Elena

“You are insane,” Elena shook her head and pushed her chair to the back.“It is your fault, Elena,” he stood upright and dipped his hands in his pocket.They both stared at each other for how long God knows before she tore her eyes away and dropped them on the screen in front of her.“Meeting is over, Mr. Russo.”“I will draft a business proposal and bring it down here myself. If you are not comfortable meeting here. I suggest we meet somewhere private,” he smirked knowing and she raised a brow.“I’d advise you to use that time to visit a psychiatrist. I am not doing any business with you.”He nodded his head, glanced at his wrist watch and smiled.“I will bring to you the most profitable deal that you would not want to turn down. Trust me, you would never see such an offer elsewhere.”“You seem to overestimate yourself too much, don’t you?” She raised a brow.“Trust me, I am more capable than what I give myself credit for,” he shrugged pridefully.“The media knows that… and you do to

“Your da… what are you saying? Where- Where did you get that from?” She asked, in utmost bewilderment.Nathan pouted his lips and then raised his head to look at his mother before he said again.“Is he not?”“He is not— Nathan,” she swallowed.“You’re flustered, mama,” he smiled childishly and she snapped her brows together.“I am not. I am just surprised as to how you come across that picture.”“Mum… is he our dad?” Nathan asked her and she breathed out, this time, collecting herself better.“Why do you keep asking me if he is your dad? Have I ever introduced him as such to you?”When the twins exchanged glances and smiled at each other, she felt left out and then frowned.“What? Why did you both smile? Will you not tell me?”“It’s fine, mama. It’s fine,” Nathan said and patted her thigh.“Fine for what?”“It’s just fine. We can handle it on our own,” he said with a smile.“What are you handling, please? You’re just kids!” She slapped her forehead.“You don’t want us to lie to you bu

“Is he truly outside?” Karina rushed to her husband as he entered the room and he swallowed, entering fully.“I have told him to leave. He is leaving already,” he answered and then looked around the living room.“Where is Ramon? I ran into him outside the door here.”“He has gone to see Elena,” she replied.“Was he truly on his knees?”“You worry too much, Karina.”“Answer me, Raymond.”“Do you think that man has what it takes to do that?”He knew so well that his wife would not agree to the fact that he had left Zeke on his knees outside their mansion.“Honey, I really think you should stop interfering in their business.”“Whose business?” He feigned ignorance and settled on the chair.“Elena and Zeke. Raymond, they are not children.”“You are not honestly rooting for them again, are you?”“I am in support of whatever Elena chooses. I can’t make decisions for her and you need to know that too.”“In the past, you were against their union! I should have listened to you.”“That was beca

“Who did you say is asking for Elena?”“A Zeke Russo, sir.”Ray drew his brows together and turned to look at Karina who sat on the couch away from him.“Don’t let him in.”“Raymond,” Karina called him softly.“Let him return to wherever he is coming from or you will be losing your job!”The gateman bowed and then rushed out back.Delivering the message to the man in a rather harsh way, he closed the gate and returned inside.“Something happening?” His partner asked him as he returned inside his quarter.“The man outside. Boss said he does not want to see him in this compound or I will lose my job.”“Wait, really?”“I am telling you,” he exhaled and then settled on the chair in front of the big screen.“W… what is he doing?” He stuttered as he watched the screen.The other man rushed to him, drew his brows together, and then parted his lips.“Is that what I think it is?”“He is on his knees?” The gatekeeper asked rhetorically and then stood up hurriedly.___________“Hey, are you craz

“Take, one more spoon,” Elena patted her daughter as she took the last spoon of her food and after the girl collected it from her, she cleaned her mouth with a handkerchief and then leaned back.“Are you full?”Natalie nodded her head and then turned to look at her plate where Nathan had dropped a piece of meat in.She raised her brows, smiled gently, and then picked it up.“Thank you.”Nathan watched her sister chew it completely and then asked. “Do you want more?”She shook her head and then instead pulled off her cap. “See, my hair is starting to grow.”Nathan stared at her head where he could barely see a strand and then chuckled. He pulled off his cap too, bowed his head, and then showed her his. “Mine too.”“But…” Natalie tilted her head. “I can’t see any hair there.”“Same. There is no hair on your head either.”They dropped eyes on each other, and Elena pressed her lips, thinking Natalie had taken offense at his comment when her facial expressions literally went unreadable.Sh

“So, you’re not going? Really?”Zeke ignored Ryan totally, his head buried in his laptop and the man shook his head. Ryan exhaled and collapsed in the chair opposite Zeke and palmed his face.“Your daughter… Natalie is getting discharged today and you really are not going there?!”Still, he was mute. Maybe if Ryan peeped to check what Zeke was typing continuously on the keyboard, he would see that the only word he kept typing was ‘Natalie.’“You know, you are an asshole, right?”Still, he was mute.“She is leaving the hospital today. It means she is hale and healthy already. It means she can move around freely and you can meet her as you please, you know?” Ryan reminded him.When Zeke did not answer, he leaned closer, pushed the laptop shut, and then hissed.“What are you planning? I can swear that you are not busy and you were typing shit right there.”“C… could you see them home safely?”“Dude, that is your duty, not mine!” Ryan snapped with creased brows.Zeke nodded his head, exh

Elena looked out of the door for the umpteenth time and then sighed before she returned to stab a piece of apple in the bowl in her hand.“Give up. He’s not coming,” Ariana breathed out.“Who?”“I know you are waiting for Zeke.”“I am not!” She denied and Ariana nodded her head.“Besides… how did you know he is not coming?” She asked.“It’s been almost a week. He left without telling you and has not returned since then. He didn’t call you either.”“Something… might be wrong with him,” she shrugged her shoulders off.“Something like? Chloe was here and she didn’t deliver any bad news, so, what something?” Ariana asked.Elena sniffed, bit her lower lips, and then turned to look outside again.She did not want to admit that she was worried, but deep down, she knew she was.He was supposed to be here…He had promised he would be by her side till Natalie got discharged.He left that morning and had not returned since then.He didn’t even call her!She suspected so strongly that her father

“Did something happen?” Ryan asked Zeke again. This time, he had pulled the car gently into his compound and had followed him out of the car.Zeke had kept mute the entire time in the car and even though he and Chloe had thrown random jokes, or started random conversations with the hope that he was going to join, he kept mute still.Still, Zeke said nothing and made an entrance to the big door of his house.“No, I am certain something happened. What is wrong? You said you were going to stay for a while. You said you wanted to see your daughter.”“Ryan…” Zeke finally exhaled and swallowed.Entering the living room fully, he turned around, dropped his eyes on the couple, and then palmed his forehead.He was keeping his feelings bottled up. He felt like he wanted to cry.But, he was a man and he should not cry, right?But, fuck that.He had little regret in his life, but this…?He would forever regret it.It was something he could have controlled. He did it anyway. He thought it was the

When Ray suddenly burst into laughter, Zeke’s eyes fluttered as though he had said something very funny. He tilted his head and then sighed.“Sir?”“Is this some movie show?”“You asked…”“How much do you want, Zeke?”“I have answered you.”Ray shook his head, “My daughter is not an option.”“Everything I did is for my family, father.”“I am no father of yours and they are not your family either.”Dumbfounded, Zeke nodded his head and then smacked his tongue. “Sir.”“I am grateful to you for what you have done for our family. For my grand daughter.”“It is my responsibility as her father.”“You have no responsibility to fulfill, dear,” he chuckled rather sarcastically.“So, see her as much as you want to while we are still in the hospital. Elena included. I can assure you that will not happen again after she has been discharged.”“Fath—”“You can’t have her again!” He snapped and then palmed his forehead.“You don’t even deserve her.”“I will make myself worthy of her again,” he said.

“Are you sure? If it were up to me, I’d suggest that you stay here for a few more days,” Elena said, worry plastered across her face as she watched the man who did his shirt button.It was early the next morning and Zeke had already asked to be discharged even though the doctor had suggested that he should spend at least a day more.He insisted that he was good already and that he had no other complaints and if he did, he'd let the doctor know.“He does not listen,” Chloe who stood beside Ryan rolled her eyes and hissed.“I don’t like it here. I could not sleep well in that bed,” Zeke snapped his brows together as he glanced at the bed.“As if you’ve ever slept well in any bed,” Ryan rolled his eyes.Zeke swallowed, moved over to Elena, and then dropped his hands on her shoulders.“I am fine. I promise.”She exhaled, nodded her head, and then sniffed. “You better let me know if anything goes wrong again.”“I promise. Now, we gotta wait till Natalie gets discharged, right? The surgery
THE BILLIONAIRE’S EX-WIFE SWEETEST REVENGE. ALL OF US.
“So… how are they? My daughter and… and the donor?” Elena asked.“Rest assured, they are doing well. However, the donor… Mr Zeke. The anesthesia wore off during the surgery and he was aware during the entire procedure. Although it is highly unlikely for a person to wake up during the surgery, as the anesthesia is designed to keep them in a deep sleep state. Still, it is not impossible. It is a rare case, but it still happened with him.”“So? Is it going to be a problem?”“Not really. We made sure to adjust the anesthesia levels to ensure he was comfortable and pain-free. He will be taken to a recovery room soon where he will be monitored as the anesthesia wears off completely, but he may experience some discomfort, pain, or nausea… oh, and difficulty sleeping. But be rest assured, all of these can be managed with medication,” he informed.“Oh, God,” Elena palmed her mouth and then sniffed.“He is out of danger, Ms. Baskerville, I assure you. And your daughter too. The surgery was a s
