'What was I even thinking going to his office? What exactly did I expect to get from an arrogant man like him?' Lisa thought to herself as she took a sip of her tea.

Lisa was so upset about how inconsiderate and uncaring Lucas was that she cancelled everything she had planned for her day off from work and drove back home after leaving Lucas's office. 'Such a scumbag. How did Isabelle put up with that attitude for that long?'

"Ohh... I need to tell Isabelle. I wouldn't want her finding out from the wrong person." She felt a knot tie in her tummy at the thought of telling Isabelle.

She knew Isabelle would understand that she was just looking out for her but she also knew that if she had asked her before going over to Lucas’s0ffice to confront him about his engagement, Isabelle would not have allowed to go.

Isabelle was as sweet and as she was kind. Everyone who knew her was lucky to. However, her kind l, sweet and understanding nature made it easy for people to manipulate and walk a

  • THE BILLIONAIRES LOST LOVE   THE DIVORCE

    Isabelle woke up early in the morning, realising she had just spent the night on the couch. She sat up and stretched her neck while trying to figure out why she had just spent her night in the uncomfortable couch instead of her bed. She picked her phone up to check what time it was when she realised that she had been calling her husband Lucas before she fell asleep. "He hasn't called me back?" She said to herself while she ran her fingers through her curly hair as she always did since she was a little girl. "Where could you be Lucas?" In all the thirteen years they had been together, Lucas had never spent the night away from home without informing Isabelle about where he would be, this was new. Isabelle was worried that something could have happened to him. Something terrible. She had called his office the previous night but was informed that he had just left the building at the time, so she waited a few hours before calling his driver who had informed her that Lucas had insiste

  • THE BILLIONAIRES LOST LOVE   CHAPTER 2

    Three hours had passed since Lucas had asked Isabelle to leave their house, his house. Isabelle cried, laughed, and cried even more, hoping she would wake up from some bad dream she was having or that Lucas would walk upstairs to inform her it was some prank and that he was sorry. But three hours was enough time to realise this was no joke, prank, or dream. It was real. It was happening. Thirteen years of marriage and 3 years of courtship had just ended. She watched as the servants Lucas had instructed to pack up her clothes, moved from one closet to another, gathering everything she owned and packing them up in bags. She thought of what her life would have been if she hadn't met Lucas or how it would have been had she chosen to pursue her dreams instead of settling for everything he had promised her. Where did all that go? All the promises of an eternal forever. All the promises of loving her till they were both old and grey. She was only in her mid thirties, and he

  • THE BILLIONAIRES LOST LOVE   Chapter 3

    Isabelle sat at the window of her late mother's little apartment every morning and every night since she had moved in. She had not stepped out of the apartment for two weeks since she walked in either. She had accepted that her marriage was over, but it felt so wrong. She cried at the thought of every promise that Lucas had made to her. At the thought of his vows to her on their wedding day, "I choose you today and always. I promise to love you fiercely and till eternity. I promise that in me, you have a friend, a family, and a home. I vow to always be there with you and for you till we are both frail and grey." How could he say all that and mean none of it? How could he promise me forever and give up in only thirteen years. how could he choose to break everything we've built instead of fixing it? fixing us? Isabelle cried her eyes out because she knew that was all she could do, and that was the only thing that made her heart hurt a little less. Her phone vibrated, causing

  • THE BILLIONAIRES LOST LOVE   a broken heart

    Isabelle sat in the lawyers conference room as she waited for Lucas to arrive. "Was I here earlier than I was meant to be?" She anxiously asked Lucas's lawyer as she looked at her phone to check what time it was. "No, my client will be here anytime now." His lawyer responded confidently. Isabelle scorfed. She had been sitting in that conference room for over forty-five minutes, and Lucas wasn't there yet. Her stomach had turned and twisted more times than she thought possible. 'Where could he be?' she thought to herself. She reached into her purse again, trying to grab her phone when she saw him, Her eyes found Lucas through the glass wall that separated the conference room and the hallway. 'How could anybody think a transparent boardroom would be a good idea?' She asked herself so many times since she had arrived. 'Aren't these types of these meant to be private?' Lucas walked majestically as he came in. He walked as if he were a model on a runway and there were people w

  • THE BILLIONAIRES LOST LOVE   More breaking hearts

    Isabelle walked out of the conference room without a word and didn't look back. She walked straight out of the building and headed to her car. Her tears rolled down her cheecks as soon as she opened her car door as if that was their cue. she cried so hard she felt out of breath and rolled down her windows. She lifted her head up from her palms to wipe her tears when she spotted Lucas and his musketeers leaving the office building. Lucas walked hand in hand with the unknown lady while his mom Lucy walked ahead of them. Isabelle's heart dropped because somehow she suddenly knew who exactly the unknown lady was and why she had just attended her divorce meeting. 'He has already moved on? How could he? Did I really mean nothing to him? Did he love me? Ever? Is she the reason for our divorce?" Isabelle had so many questions, but she knew there was no one to answer any of them. Isabelle spent an hour more crying and trying to fix herself up before she finally found the strengt

  • THE BILLIONAIRES LOST LOVE   Mia

    Lucas arrived home furious after leaving his lawyer's office. He stormed into his house and headed straight to the bar in his living room to pour himself a glass of whiskey. His mother Lucy and Mia, the lady unknown to Isabelle, followed him in almost running. "Lucas? Lucas!" Lucy screamed as she walked towards him. "Why are you mad? This divorce is good for you." "Shut up." Lucas said in a low irritated tone. "Can you just stay quiet?" Mia scorfed as she walked towards Lucy and stood beside her. She tried to speak, but Lucas raised his hand to stop her. "Don't you even dare speak to me." Lucas warned. Lucy walked closer towards Lucas, " What is wrong with you, Lucas?" "Why did you bring her?" Lucas had a stern look on his face as he spoke to his mother. "Why were you even there?" Lucy stood there and stared hard at Lucas. She couldn't believe how he had raised his voice at her. "This is all because of that girl! I knew she was never good for you, I told you she wasn't

  • THE BILLIONAIRES LOST LOVE   Awakening

    'I love you forever,' Lucas said as he held Isabelle against his body firmly. He kissed her forehead. 'I love you forever,' Isabelle repeated before the cuddled up and fell asleep in each other's arms. Isabelle woke up and realised she had just spent the night on her apartment floor, her body in pain and her head spinning from all the wine she drunk. She got up from the floor and sat on her couch. The 3 empty bottles of wine stared back at her. She buried her face into her palms and groaned. She realised she wasn't with Lucas in their bed. She had been dreaming but was surprised by how real it felt. 'I felt him, his touch. it was so real.' Isabelle had never imagined her life without Lucas, but now she had to live it. It felt strange, but there was nothing she could do, and she knew it. Isabelle needed some sort of escape from the most dreadful weeks she had. She knew that drinking to dissolve or drown her sorrows was not only pointless, It made her feel alright and happy wh

  • THE BILLIONAIRES LOST LOVE   Old friends

    Isabelle created a social media account. She hadn't used social media since she married into the Archer family. Lucy told her she didn't need a social media presence, "Let the bloggers do their jobs." she'd say. 'Well, I'm nolonger part of the Archer family,' she thought to herself as she entered Isabelle Turner under the Username option. 'Isabelle Turner' somehow, her name didn't feel like her own. 'Isabelle' did feel familiar, but 'Turner'? Not so much. The last name 'Archer' felt like it was hers, like it was a part of her, but now it was gone. Just like Lucas. After 13 years of being an Archer, she couldn't be one anymore. 'Lucy must be smiling in her sleep,' She sighed. 'Here goes nothing,' She said to herself as she clicked sign up on her phone's screen. She knew Lucas did not have a profile, so she looked Lucy up in hopes of finding something. But there was nothing, She owned a profile with no recent pictures or updates. Isabelle ran her fingers through her cu

    "What are these?" Lucy asked, unable to mask her anger. She knew exactly what she was holding in her hands but prayed her thoughts were wrong. Mia was still processing what could anger Lucy that much and why she would storm in on her. Her eyes moved from Lucy's face that had turned furious red to her palms to see what she was holding with her hands stretched out. 'What the ....' her heart clenched at the sight of the pregnancy tests in Lucy's hands. 'These stupid servants can't do anything right,' she thought to herself as she stood, knowing that things had gone wrong. "Are you deaf and dumb all of the sudden, or are you just very stupid? I said and will not repeat my self, what the fuck are these?" She asked angrily, her veins popping out of her head in fury. "P_pre uhmm pregnancy tests." Mia finally managed to blurt out. "Do not.. Do not mess with me. You know better than to mess with me." Lucy shook angrily. "Do I look blind to you?" She asked still shaking. "Why the fuck

    "Excuse me. Excuse me, ma'am." A lady came towards Lisa rushing in her heels.Lisa stopped and turned to see who was calling after her. "Yes?" She asked in annoyance. "Is there a problem?""I'm sorry, but who are you looking for?" She asked as she opened the day planner she was holding in her hands."Why are you asking me that?" Lisa crossed her hands."Well, you were walking towards the hallway with only the CEO's office in it. And that area is restricted for walk-in visits." The lady tried to explain politely. "My name is Pearl, Mr Archers assistant." She introduced herself."I am just trying to figure out who you are here to see so that I could direct you appropriately." Pearl added a smile."I am here to see Lucas Archer." Lisa responded sternly."Okay. Let me just check his schedule for your appointment." She flipped through her day planner. "What's your name and what time is your appointment with him?" Pearl o

    Mia walked down the stairs, grinning, with a bunch of magazines in her hands. She had seen the pictures of her engagement to Lucas Archer almost a thousand times already, but to her, every time, it felt like the first. She opened the magazines every time someone called to congratulate her on her engagement to 'Mr Archer the Billionaire', and every time, she looked at her engagement ring. She called back the staff that had just served Lucy a cup of coffee as she took a seat and set the magazines on the couch next to where she sat. "Bring me a cup of tea," she held a finger up in the air towards the server, "and some biscuits too." and then waved him off. "Good morning?" Lucy asked Mia playfully with a grin on her face. "More than good." Mia shrieked. "This may just be the best morning I have ever had." She picked the magazines up and placed them on her laps. She held one up in the air, showing Lucy the cover page. "They referred to me as Mrs Archer in this one." She could not hi

    Isabelle brought her car keys out of her purse. She turned towards Lisa and said goodbye. "What? No. Why would I let you drive alone in your state?" Lisa argued as she rubbed Isabelle's shoulder. "I'm coming with you." "I need some time to my self," She forced out the words. Talking was the last thing she wanted to do. She needed to think, to process what she had just seen, how it had happened, and how she felt about it all. "I understand, but please let me make sure you get home safe, and I will leave you alone if you still want me to. I promise." Lisa raised her pinky finger, hoping that some humour would help Isabelle feel better. Isabelle knew Lisa would not leave her alone no matter what she would say to try and convince her, and she was not in the mood to try, so she just nodded in agreement, and they both walked to her car. Lisa tried to talk to Isabelle during their drive back to Isabelle's apartment building, but Isabelle asked that they just drive their quietly.

    Lucas woke up and sat at the edge of his bed. He let out a groan when he felt pain in his head as he tried to stretch his body. He buried his face into his palms as he tried to remember what had happened the previous night. All he could remember was arriving at his house and being pulled away from the crowd by his mother to get scolded about arriving at his own event late. As he was still trying to process the previous nights events, he felt movement in his bed behind him. He slowly looked back to see who he had shared his bed with and saw a naked Mia under his sheets. He let out a loud groan that woke her up from her slumber. "Good morning, Mr Archer," Mia said in what sounded like a purr. "Was last night not amazing? It was one of the best nights of my entire life, all thanks to Lucy.

    ***** "Thank you for bringing me out for brunch, I have been cooked up in my tiny apartment for days now." Isabelle gently grabbed Lisa's hand and gave it a tight, soft squeeze. They both giggled as they walked the curb that led to the restaurants entrance. They walked into the restaurant and found an empty table with two seats close to the restaurant's glass walls that gave a view of the street. "Perfect." Lisa exclaimed as she nodded her head in the direction of the table for Isabelle to look. They both walked towards the table and settled in sitting across each other. A waiter brought their menus to them and walked away when they asked to be excused for a few minutes while they decided on what to order. "Have you had a chance to speak to Marcus?" Lisa asked with concern. Isabelle had mentioned her intentions to call him but never told her how their conversation went. "Uhm.. No, not yet," Isabelle exhaled sharply, her eyes glued to the menu. "I wanted to call him yesterd

    "I still can not believe he agreed to this, it-it still feels like a dream," Mia shrieked in excitement as she watched people walk into Lucas's house with decorations and other things meant for her engagement party to Lucas. "I told you not to worry. My son is a gentleman who takes pleasure in fulfilling his promises." Lucy said with a smile on her face. Mia walked closer to Lucy, almost skipping in her heels, "Can I hug you?" She fake pouted. Lucy took a few steps closer to her and then hugged her first. "After tonight, we will be family, and you will not have to ever ask for my permission to hug me." Lucy had been asking Isabelle while she was still married to her son Lucas when they would have a baby, Lucas had made it clear to Isabelle that he was not ready and dis not want to talk about it but Isabelle dis not te her that. Instead, she kept it to herself and never gave Lucy a response anytime she would ask. "You should go get ready, the party will begin in a few hour

    "Lucy, I was not expecting you today." Lucas said sternly as he watched his mother close the door behind her after she had walked into his office abruptly. He sensed there was something wrong, Lucy had a hard time hiding what she felt or thought, and one could simply read her mood from her facial expressions. "I did not think I needed to notify anyone before coming to see my son," she responded, sarcasm laced in her tone. "That's not what I meant. Why are you here?" Lucas knew his mother as much as she knew him, and in that moment, he knew that she was not in the mood for small talk. "You are getting engaged. Tomorrow evening." Lucas tried to speak, but Lucy raised a hand to silence him. "Don't you know better than to interrupt me when I am speaking?" She scorfed. Lucas laid back in his chair as he crossed his hands and brought them to his chest, his lips touching, forming a straight line. "Good. As I was saying, you promised me that you would engage Mia and then offic
