Submitting to my billionaire ex-husband

Zoe's life has never been perfect, but her life fell apart completely on her 22nd birthday. Her father whose main interest has been the black company and her step mother. But when he organized this party for her she was amazed, shocked and happy. Zoe is a beautiful young woman of 22, she's gorgeous with dark curly hair, brown eyes and has an average built, her dream since childhood was to become the top neurologist in the country. However, she has been unable to achieve this dream since her father has forbids her from attending the school of her choice and she’s been unable to get the training required. The party gave her hope that just maybe her father will change his mind regarding her education. She had done everything to satisfy him including taken few business classes and she has worked as an intern in different part of the company. She wore a long black dress with silver hooks and tiny silver earrings, her makeup was minimal and she looks gorgeous she was standing with her best friend Clarissa when her step mother walked to her and inform her that her father will like to see her in his office and he has a surprise for her Though Zoe and her step mother Jenifer aren't the best of friends, Zoe light up like a bulb she was so happy thinking her father will finally approve of her dream and allow her to pursue her education. She beamed at her friend and excused herself while thinking that finally her dream was about to be achieved, she was going to attend the school of her dream and study to become a neurologist, she had no doubt that she will be a very good and successful doctor, she was so happy and was almost skipping to her father’s office when she suddenly burst into a man, she split his drink all over and she fumbled an apology, he used his hand to steady her and she could smell his cologne, her heart beat increase exponentially she felt a rush she had only felt once before when she gazed up to look into his face he turned and walk away leaving her standing in the middle of the room with guest milling around her. She scrubbed it off recovered and proceed to meet her father in his office. Dad, Jenifer said you have a surprise for me she said beaming. Her whole life shattered when her father replied that the party will officially become her engagement party as he will be announcing her engagement with Mathew Adams to the guest. “Mathew Adams”, she whispered as if her voice was about to break. “The billionaire play boy? The man who was always seen with a different woman at every outing? The tall handsome as sin Mathew Adams?” She asked “Yes, he will be meeting you today so that you can get to know each other, this is your time to support the company like I've always done” her father replied “But I can't marry Mathew or any man for that matter” Zoe retorted shaking, “I need to be a doctor, I need to help people and I need to be the best neurosurgeon this wouldn’t have happened if my mother is alive Zoe said bitterly” while tears streamed down her face. “I have always done my best for the company and everything I have done will be for your own good, now the company is about to declare insolvency but your union with Mathew will prevent that hence it's your turn to do what is right for the company and forget about day dreaming about becoming a doctor” her father retorted. Jenifer entered the office and glance at her, “I will advise you use the powder room and make yourself presentable you cannot meet your future husband looking like this” she said hastily. “The company is about to go bankrupt and not because of me but because of the choices you've made and how you've indulged your younger wife every whim.” “This company was founded by my mother and you” Zoe said sadly and left the room to adjust her face. What will I do with my life and how will I cope with this new development she thought and she desperately wished for her friend. When she went back to the office, she saw the silhouette of a man sitting beside her father when she walked closer, she smelled his cologne and her heart beats a little faster, her father then introduced the man to her as Mathew Adams, she finds herself looking up into his face as he stood up to shake her hand. Let's give the two of them space to talk Jenifer stood up nudging Cayden Zoe's father along with her. “I don't see what they need to talk about we only need to announce to the guest and make it official” her father said under his breath but Zoe couldn't hear him clearly as her Brian was going a little fudgy She has only met Mathew once before when she was 18 and she has a massive crush on him then. But this is a different man she thought, this man who has a lot of women around him, what could he possibly stand to gain by agreeing to this ridiculous union Zoe wondered. Just then Mathew speaks up, “don't overthink this situation I have my own reasons for accepting this union and I expect you to cooperate fully”. Zoe was dumbfounded but she could only nod her head. After that Mathew left her and she could hear her father's voice announcing the engagement to all the guest. No wonder the party has some reporters among the guest, that was definitely her father's or Jenifer's idea to generate media knowledge about the engagement. While she sat thinking about the new course of her life, Clarissa rushed inside. “You? Engaged to Mathew?? What have you been hiding from me” she asked shockingly. Zoe looked into her friends face and she was sobbing gently while rocking herself. Clarissa gathered her close and console her she told her that nothing can be as bad as we think and she should look at the bright side. “He is rich and handsome and already has a big empire he might allow you to go back to school” Clarissa said to console her friend. Zoe nodded all I have to do is to be the perfect wife so that he can allow that to happen Zoe thought. Two days later, Zoe was in her room when her step mother stepped inside to notify her that her wedding has been fixed for the following week and that Mathew has just sent her dress. She was shocked, “next week?” Zoe asked. “Yes, next week you're very lucky to be marrying such a rich man” Jenifer replied. But Zoe wondered why the rush and they've only met officially one's, and now her wedding is set with this stranger. She contacted her friend as she needs all the support she can get but unfortunately Clarissa already left for school she was only around for the weekend and for Zoe’s birthday. She was completely alone on her wedding day, the dress Mathew sent along for the wedding was a long beautiful white dress with lace around the frills, she dressed up and she looked very beautiful a team was sent by Mathew to ensure his bride looks her best and she silently hope he'll be forever as caring as he was towards her dress and looks. He also sent her a limo to transport her to the venue of the wedding, the wedding was held in the biggest hall in the biggest hotel in the city. The hotel was owned by the Adams and it has 10 stories and elaborate views. Zoe was very happy, she looked as beautiful as a doll and she only wished her mother and her best friend were with her, there were many photographers and reporters and the wedding was termed the wedding of the century by the media. When Zoe got the first look at Mathew, her heart skipped several beats and her stomach jumps as if a while zoo was alive in her stomach, he looks so handsome in his black tux. After the ceremony, Mathew sent a limo to transport her to his mansion on the outskirts of town, when Zoe gets her first view of the house she was dumbfounded again, the house rose like a royal palace all black and shining into the sky, she wondered how she'll be living inside such mansion. When they got home the driver opened her door and she was met by dozens of maids who welcomed her home. She was shown into her bedroom, the room was big as the other part of the house and her wardrobe has been stocked with different dresses. She went into the bathroom to shower off the day and to prepare for her husband, although Jenifer hasn't prepared her for this task but she has read a lot of books and understand just what to expect in this kind of situation. But her hope was dashed again when her husband returned home completely wasted around 2am his cologne was smeared with a woman’s perfume and Zoe can see the stain of a bright red lipstick on his shirt. He glanced at her small form on the bed and look bemused. “I totally forget that I’m married” he said. Then he shouted for a maid to show Mrs. Adam to another room as he doesn’t like sharing his bed with anyone. “Do you think you're my wife or do you think I belonged to you alone” Mathew asked her when he saw the shocked expression on her face.
