The Billionaire's EX-Wife

Chapter 4 Husband and Wife

Earlier that morning at the Brown residence, Sarah had slept in due to the fact that she was in contact with her lawyer concerning the divorce papers and the clause where she donates her eggs. It had taken close to three hours before she and her lawyer finally finished the new draft. One that was more to her taste and benefit. As a result, she had slept in and woke up around seven in the morning, two hours later that she usually did. She got a call from her lawyer who had sent the new papers through a messanger. She went out to receive it from the guards who had collected it at the gate and read through it in her room.Three sharp knocks resounded on her door and she sighed as she got up to answer it

"Yes?" She opened the door and saw another maid

"You are needed downstairs" she said curtly and left

Sarah went downstairs to see what she was needed for and was met with a smirking Maria

"Why is breakfast not yet ready?" Her soon to be mother-in-law's voice resonated and Sarah turned to see the woman sitting majestically at the table

"Oh, pardon me" Sara said nonchalantly and walked into the kitchen, annoying the hell out of Maria and Rachel. She came back shortly with a cup of coffee and sat opposite Rachel. She slowly began sipping her coffee while scrolling down her phone.

"Sarah, are you high on some kind of weed this morning?" Maria asked looking stunned

"And why would you think that?" Sarah paused what she was doing on her phone and stared at her sister-in-law "is it wrong to drink coffee in the morning or to check my phone?" She asked coolly

"And what about breakfast? Seems like you want to continue the drama of yesterday isn't it?"

"Breakfast? No, I don't eat this early hence the cup of coffee" Sarah replied

"You insolent wench, are you trying to make a fool of us?" Rachel shouted

"With coffee and phone? You are really easy then" Sarah replied and as Rachel as going to reply her, Maria held her hand while picking up her phone

"Michael you need to come home now before someone dies in this house" Maria shouted over the phone and cut the call. "Let's see your bravado when Michael gets here then" Maria snarled in anger and left with her mother who was still seething. Maria couldn't help but get even more pissed when Sarah didn't react to her calling Michael over.

Sarah enjoyed peace and quiet for the first time in three years as none of the help dared to come close to her. After finishing her cup, she simply stood up and left for her room. She began bringing down her box and folding her clothes neatly into it.

Michael arrived not too long after that and was met with his angry looking mother and sister and paused wondering what was going on so early in the morning

"Who is dying?" Michael asked as he clearly saw that both mother and daughter were doing okay

"I'm going to die, I swear Michael I'm going to die, as long as that good-for-nothing remains in this house, one of us won't remain alive by the end of today" his mother screamed in his face

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Listen Michael, that wife of yours was extremely rude to mother" Maria said and Michael raised an eye at her statement before deciding to go up to Sarah, he needed to know what her decision was anyway.

Rachel was nearly done packing when Michael knocked and she simply told him to come in. She was zipping her last suitcase when Michael came in. His throat went dry when he saw her luggages and he felt a kind of tightening in his heart but he shrugged the feeling and came in fully.

"It's good you are here, the new papers are there, if you agree, sign it and I'll sign it as well" she told him as she sat on the bed.

Michael was irritated that she barely spared him a glance before showing him the papers but he decided not to say anything. He began to feel hot as he read the new divorce agreement and he became angry when he saw that she was demanding for money but she wasn't going to donate.

"You are not donating but you are demanding for a hundred million dollars?"

"Over my deadbody would I donate anything to Bella or even you" Sarah spat as she stood up

"But you want my money" Michael snarled "You ant payment for the three years you spent as my wife" he said chuckling darkly

"It isn't my fault we didn't sign prenup Michael, I'm entitled to half of what you own but all I'm asking for is a measly hundred million" Sarah told him and slowly noticed that his eyes were trailing down her body and she suddenly felt goosebumps.

"And if I refuse?" Michael asked, his voice deeper and his eyes darker as he came close to her and she moved backwards

"You can forget about divorcing me then" she said as she took another step back and her back hit the wall

"And if I don't want a divorce?" Michael kept on coming closer and even he wasn't sure of whatever he was saying, he couldn't see beyond her olive skin and dark grey eyes that were focused on him

"Michael, what on earth do you think you are doing?" She asked her voice dryad he came even closer

"We are still married are we not? It shouldn't be an issue that I come this close" Michael continued until he was right in front of her, his hands caging her to the wall and he slowly took a whiff before looking into her eyes and joining their lips together.

Sarah was caught off guard for a moment but when Michael thrusted his tongue into her mouth, she came back to her senses and fought him off, well, tried to fight him off except that he didn't budge. Michael wasn't giving her any chance to escape as he took both of her hands and held them bound up with one hand and with his second hand, he attached it into her hair and held her head in place while he continued kissing her. Sarah got lost in the kiss after that and Michael used that time to move them to the bed.

Her phone ringing brought her out of her fantasy land and she quickly brought her knee to the middle of Michael's legs and kicked him hard. The intense pain caused Michael to lose his hold on her and she used that period to detach herself from him.

"What the hell Michael?!" She screamed and turned to look at Michael who was in pain she then remembered something that she noticed earlier and slowly moved towards him and checked his temperature only to see that he was burning up

"Jeez, Michael what happened to you" she rushed over to his side as he groaned and she quickly helped him to her bathroom and turned on the shower and they both stayed sitting under it

"Just what on earth did you take?" She asked looking at him as his eyes were closed. She could see the outline of his chest through his soaked shirt and she felt herself go hot especially when she remembered the intense kiss they shared not too long ago. She blushed and looked away from his body but the memory of their kiss kept assaulting her senses. After a while she slowly helped a now sleeping Michael back into her room and onto her bed.

Locking her bedroom door, she went back and took a bath, all through the time she dressed, Michael was asleep. He woke up two hours later looking disoriented and he saw a sleeping Sarah on the couch. He tried to recollect what happened but couldn't remember anything beyond picking up the papers. He saw he was in his briefs and frowned even more but the more he tried to remember, the more his head hurt. He then removed the blanket around him and got up from the bed when he saw a still sleeping Sarah. He moved closer to her without thinking twice and bent to really see her face. It seemed she had dozed off while reading and for the first time, Michael got a really good look at her face. He was stunned by how beautiful she looked even though it was obvious that she hadn't used any make up.

Her phone vibrating woke her up and she was startled seeing an almost naked Michael in front of her and she gave a loud gasp and looked away. Michael stood up and left her side but not without taking a quick look at her phone to see who was calling

Daniel calling...

Sarah hurriedly picked up "Hey"

"Well you sound out of breath" Daniel teased

"Umm, why are you calling?" She asked trying to get her thoughts together

"You told me to come pick you up at this time, don't you remember?" Sarah looked at the time and saw that it was past ten already and gasped

"Please wait for like thirty minutes, I'll finish up something here and head out" she told him and hung up when Michael walked back in dressed in her robe

"Why are my clothes damp? And why can't I remember anything that happened?"

"I should be asking you what drugs you took before barging into my room" she retorted

"What are you talking about?" Michael was genuinely confused

"You don't remember what happened?" She asked and his heart skipped two beats

"What happened?"

"You know what, forget it, nothing happened, you simply passed out and began to run a high temperature, I took you to the bathroom and turned on the shower. I got you out when it seemed like your temperature was going down and removed your wet clothes and laid you to sleep" she told him but left out the part where he kissed her.

"I don't remember any of that" he said after thinking for a bit

"It doesn't matter, now my ride is here, these are the papers, sign them and I'll do the same and I'll be out of here in a minute" she gave him the papers once again and he went through them

"I remember reading part of these" he said mainly to himself but she heard him anyways and didn't comment "no donation and a hundred million dollars" he chuckled to himself "is this payment for being my wife for three years, wow, you really are expensive"

"That's payment for being a maid even to the servants in your home Michael. I won't give anything to you or to Bella, but that money and those villas, that is nothing to you Michael besides we didn't sign a prenup which means I'm entitled to half of all you own but I'm giving you a way out. I do not want a legal battle but I won't back down from one" she told him

Michael thought about all his options and saw that it was better to end it here and now than to drag it to court. He picked up a pen from the table and put his signature on the documents.

"You'll receive the money by the end of today" he told her coldly. Michael couldn't understand why he was getting angry over the fact that she was not fighting more. Sarah picked up her phone and dialed a number

"Hello, is this St Catherine's women shelter? Okay good morning, I want to make an a donation to your organization. Yes please, I'll be there tomorrow afternoon. Alright thank you, have a good day." Sarah ended the call and picked up the documents.

"I'll send it with my signature when I get the payment"
