Semua Bab Billionaire Ex, Divorce It!: Bab 101 - Bab 110

*RIO*“Dad, will you be bringing Pam tomorrow? When we talked the other day, you mentioned that she likes sports.”Lena asked me as I helped load up the car with the things she had accumulated at the lab while staying there. I have more in my car that belongs to Arturo than to my girl. She was always a minimal girl, not needing much to make her happy.“Yes, Pam is looking forward to it.”I was so excited when Pam agreed. She seemed like a good sort and offered to bring something for snacks.But I told her we had it covered. We will go to the den again this weekend, and if Lena is up to it, we will have the following one at her place. I need to know she has settled in and is comfortable with the new security measures we are putting in place.Lena climbed into the vehicle, and you could feel her getting anxious already, and we had not hit the road yet. This seemed to be the biggest hurdle that she needed to jump. Having been hit like she was, she is going to be jumpy for a while, and no

*MONA*“Get up and come with me,”a guard demanded. This guard always looked down her nose at me as if I was below her. How dare she! It could have been more pleasant. Wait until I get out of here, and I will track her down and give her a lesson she will not forget for treating me so badly.I was taken out of my dingy cell and marched unceremoniously to an interview room. The inmates mocked me as I walked by. I wondered what was going on, as I was not expecting visitors. The lawyer said he would see me again after the trial unless there was some new development. Could he have been here and found a loophole? I was suddenly keen on getting to the meeting room and finding out what the lawyer found.The guard put me in a room and left me in chains. I hate that they do that. I am not a violent woman. Why do I need chains when I get a visitor? It is so degrading, and they hurt my wrists and ankles. I tried to put the chains behind me and think about what the lawyer had, but it was not the la

*MILENA*A goodbye kiss from Arturo and I was off to this woman's home. Felicia filled me in on what that poor woman had been going through and how she felt so stuck in the rut she calls her life and had no idea how to get out. They have tried to take her away from her abusive partner, but she keeps going back. It is not unusual for the woman to return to the abuser; it becomes a cycle of hope which, more often than not, ends up in failure. Felicia is beside herself, trying to get through to this woman. She has seen so many times that women do not leave or leave and return, only for the violence to continue and end up dead or maimed for life. I have had little to do with this side of things, but I understand, I kept going back to visit my Mother only for her to be angry that I had shown up unless it was for a dinner where Rissa would be there to brag about something or other that she had achieved. Now they are incarcerated together, let's see how they cope with living with each other

*RIO*“Hey Jacko, what do I owe the pleasure of this call?”I was in a good mood, and things were progressing with Pam. More or less, Lena gave me the green like in the den. Having her permission, though I didn't need it, made me feel good and relieved. I thought I needed her blessing.Lena and I are close; we have a good relationship, and very few subjects are taboo to discuss. I am sure somewhere down the line, Lena will give me the father/daughter chat, and I will be the child in the conversation. OH, how times have changed. I chuckled to myself at the thought and looked forward to hearing it.“Can you come to the office? I have something to show you.”He sounded excited, which only improved my day when Jacko was excited.“Give me ten.”I hung up, finished reading the urgent report on my desk, and signed it. I handed it to my secretary as I passed her desk. She looked at me questioningly. I shrugged and left the office. She would not ask and hoped I would explain where I was going and

*ARTURO*After arguing with Milena about her bodyguards for what felt like the one-hundredth time, she caved and agreed she would not leave the Condo without them. I would not have peace of mind at work if I had to worry about whether Lena was still at home and was okay. Scott promised better security this time round and had secretly put a bug on Lena, I think, on her phone, but I am not sure, and he won't tell me, but he said if she leaves the Condo without the security, he would know she was on the move and get the men to her. I wouldn't say I liked it, but it was the best we could come up with.Tonight, we were having dinner with my sister. She contacted me an hour ago to ensure we were still coming. She did not want to start cooking, and we did not turn up. Luckily, I had finished in the theater and could answer the phone. It is hit-and-miss to catch me when at work.For a change, instead of walking home, I took our car service. I saw the bodyguards parked across the road as we ap
