Dumped by my ex, Claimed by his boss

CHAPTER 2

ISLA’S POV

My jaw dropped as I watched the video over and over again. My husband was having s*x with

another woman, I could not believe my eyes, I just held the phone and soon, I began spiraling.

My mind went to different places at once. How long had this been happening? Was it real?

“Yes daddy, yes argh.” She moaned.

“That's how it's done.” He groaned, pulling out.

Tears rolled down my cheek and I quickly cleaned them with the back of my palm. I deleted the

link from my phone, but I saved the video. I didn't want him to know that I knew anything. I

went to bed and just slept, I had a pounding headache and I was already exhausted for tomorrow.

“Yes please, take out the designs and double down the other sheets.” I said. I was already at

work, I had left as soon as I could to take out my frustration on the new designs brought in last

week by smaller clients.

Two of my top workers weren't around and I needed them. My phone beeped and it was a

message from them saying they resigned because I wouldn't satisfy them. What was that

supposed to mean? Only one person came to my mind. Grant. Last night, he didn't join me on the

bed, I only heard his voice making different calls. I thought it was his w***e but it occurred tome now that he managed to convince them to resign. Before Grant, I was able to build myself, so

if he breaks my heart, it would hurt but then I would be here. Silly me.

Days turned into weeks, weeks into two months and then that Tuesday he did it.

I came home after a long day at work, my workers kept dropping and now I was left with ten.

Big clients had stopped coming, the small clients often declined, everything was becoming

unbearable.

“Hey, I have a surprise for you, my baby.” He said, smiling. I knew that smile. It's either he

wanted s*x or had done something mischievous. And his baby? Maybe he had evolved. I had

completely forgotten about the video.

I sat down on the bed and then he brought out a brown envelope. I thought he had gotten another

position, so I collected the envelope from him. For the first time, I was excited that something

good was happening to me after all these weeks until my eyes scanned the papers and landed on

one word. Divorce. No, he hadn't gotten a new job, he hadn't given me a new house, it was

divorce and a surprise indeed in the most brutal way.

“Divorce??” I asked, my voice breaking.

“Surprise!” They shouted. He wasn't alone any longer, he was with a lady. She looked somewhat

familiar and then she said:

“I told you that was the best move daddy.”

And then it clicked, she was my husband's mistress or dare I say my ex-husband. Whoever she

was, she had successfully convinced him to leave me for her. I tried to go to the past and

reminisce on how we loved each other but this time I only saw when I dimmed my light for

Grant to shine. All of the things that happened to me were real. It had never been me, it was

always him.

“Hey sloth, are you as slow as your ugly face implies? Sign the papers and get the f**k out of

here.” She said lifting my chin, because my face was buried in the papers.

I looked at them, my eyes were red now. I don't know if he planned to marry her, or what his

intentions were but I think it was pretty serious.

“The pen.” I said opening my hands.She gave it to me quickly, like she wanted me to sign the papers and leave, although she did she

didn't have to be rude about it. I signed the papers, my tears wetting the pages as I flipped them.

My marriage was gone.

“Why, Grant?” I asked him, sniffling the mucor that had formed in my nose.

“Here are a few reasons for you my lady.” He said sarcastically and started mentioning them.

“One, you don't satisfy me, like I always say. You should be able to satisfy my needs. Two your

decorations take too much time who knows what man you're out there seducing with your flat

body and lastly Piper here, has a lot to offer unlike you.” This time he concluded pecking her

forehead.

“What is this?” I asked looking at the papers again. Grant had said I wasn't to date a competitor

or bring scandal to his name except I wanted him to seize the small money I had saved and my

mother's cottage.

“Oh, I wasn't done yet, that's the tip of the iceberg.” He said and then burst out laughing

hysterically.

My hands shook as I gave him the papers.

“It's fine my lady, you can always stay with us.” He said and laughed again.

“You forgot the last part daddy.” She said holding him.

“Oh yes, you get to watch us, so you learn how it's done.” He added.

I sat there eyes shut, I heard her moans, his groans, hot tears rolling freely.

The next two days came quickly, I had slept in the guest room while Grant and his Mistress had

our bedroom. I went to work only to meet five workers and a team of government officials

waiting for me.

“Ms. Isla it was rumored you overwork the staffs here so we want to conduct a research on how

many workers are here in this firm. Less than ten, you close down, more than fifteen you get to

continue.” One of the men said.

I was cooked. I tried calling my other workers but none of them returned my calls, they all went

to voicemail. I was panicking, I knew Grant had a hand in this.After what seemed like thirty minutes, they all came out and asked me for my keys.

“ I can explain honestly, business has been slow and I've lost lots of workers, believe me.” I said

on the verge of crying.

He didn't answer me, he just dragged my keys, and drove off. I was meant to pay my remaining

workers $10,000 each, for a job they did not do. Where was I to begin? Was this what falling felt

like?

That night I had to leave Grant before it became worse.
