THE BILLIONARE'S EX-WIFE

“I’ve been looking all over for you” I said to her as she smiled up at me, she looked so beautiful and so delicate, I lifted my arms to touch her face but the mirage of her image disappeared, “master wake up” the words pulled me from my dream, I sat up looking around only to find myself in my room, the sun was shining in through the windows, Mr Lorry the butler opened the windows letting the crisp ocean air in, I got out of the bed and walked to balcony, just to let the morning sun get a glimpse of me. “Breakfast will be served in 10 minutes sir” Mr Lorry reminded me again as the first time I couldn’t hear him. Walking down the stairs just reminded me of her, all the walls seemed to have her memories even though they were just white empty walls, the house has gotten bigger and more quite after her departure. The food is good but bland, I have everything but I feel empty, I feel incomplete. Sitting in the back of the car, I’m reminded of her, ‘why is it everything is about her?’ I question myself, for the last four year all I have is questions but never answers, as the driver pulls up at the entrance I see some of my employees scurry off inside the building, I head to the private elevator that I always use and see some of the women trying to get my attention, but no matter how many of them I have they’ll never be her. I put down my bag already finding work on my table, I set myself up for work but the pictures on my table distract me, her smile looks so enticing even in a picture ‘how could I have missed it when she was around?’ more questions, I pick up the other photo, holding it tight to my chest and close my eyes as I let the memories play back in my mind. FLASHBACK “Master, please have mercy. The doctor who did the tests is just an intern and has no knowledge on how the things are done at our hospital” the pathetic doctor cried for mercy, I hate people who cannot fight for themselves and always show their weakness. I looked at the file he brought to me, the pregnancy scans in hand as I read over the information in the file. “Okay you can leave” I dismissed him as I poured myself some whiskey and gulped it down at one go. END OF FLASHBACK Doing the math at that time, she left knowing she was two months pregnant heading for her third month, ‘how did I not notice?’ yet again more questions than answers. “What are you thinking of?” I open my eyes as I put the scan away to look at this woman who just casually walked into my office, she walks up to my table and takes a sit, her face caked up in makeup, her clothes don’t even cover ninety percent of her body. “Lisa, what are you doing here?” I ask her without hiding the annoyance in my voice, “I thought I’d have lunch with you” she shrieks, “why would you think I want to eat with you? Have you even seen the time?” I asked annoyed,  just because I slept with her once she already thinks she’s entitled to act as my woman, she’s a bold one and she knows how to get what she wants but I’m afraid she’s looking in the wrong direction, as to me she nothing but a much needed distraction, she’s nothing but entertainment. She gets her phone out of her  purse and looks at what I assume is the time, my eyes never leaving her face, as her lips breaks into a small pout and looks at me “but I’m hungry” she says whiningly, “close the door on your way out” I dismiss her, taking the scan picture in my hand and turning my chair to look at the view of the busy city below, as soon as I hear the clicks of her shoes fade away a sigh of relief escapes my lips. I bury myself with work and could hardly tell if time is moving slow or fast, but by the time I get to take a break from all the paperwork, it is a little dark outside and I’m starving, my phone pings and a message comes through ‘let’s have dinner- C Hemsworth’. I get up and put on my jacket as I head to the elevator, texting him that I’ll meet him there. 15 minutes later I walk into Blue Moon restaurant which is my favourite, I found Chris already seated and sipping on his beverage, “hey man I didn’t think you would come” he said as soon as I sat down at my place, “I did say I would come right?” I said as I called the waitress over. We had our meals having small talks and then decided to head over to the bar and have a few drinks before heading home, the manager came to greet us at the entrance ushering us to a more private room, as soon as we sat down girls came into our room for Chris’ much entertainment. “Mr Anderson what can I do for you?” one of the girls said as she approached me, I looked at her over my glass and she wasn’t bad looking at all, I pulled her into my lap and was inhaling her smell when I heard Chris shout over the music “finally you let her go man”, just when I thought we were going to enjoy the night, she ruins it for me even in her absence, I moved the girl over next to me as I finished the contents of my glass and have a refill of my glass.  The night goes on smoothly but I get tired and look at my watch to see that the time is 3am, as soon as I got up, I fell back into the chair and it’s confirmed that I’m drunk. The driver stops in the drive way and I get off the car heading to the house, the door opens and Mr Lorry comes into view, I tell him to go sleep and he does. I go get a bottle of water from the kitchen and head to the my room, as I pass the sitting room, there’s someone sleeping on the sofa, I walk up to where this person is and I see clearly who it is, after opening and closing my eyes several time I try to poke her but just like in my dreams she disappeared. I sit on the couch and take out my phone to call Luke, he answers after a few rings, “what have you got for me?” I ask as soon as he answers, he gives the same answer as always and I feel like ripping out his throat, “I don’t pay you to laze around Luke” I said cutting him off, I carried my things and headed to my room. Before I got into my bedroom, I looked at the bedroom across mine, where she used to sleep, after getting to the door I hesitate to go in, I gather my thoughts and walk back to my room.
