The Billionaire’s Ex-wife

Chapter 5

Danté was really being a jerk and I was not ready for his tantrums this evening so I turned to leave but he stopped me.

"Would you like to dance?" It was on the tip of my tongue to say No but Danté clamped his around my waist.

"What the hell is this Danté?" I demanded and he did not answer as he slid his arms around me and drew me towards him so that my face was pressed against his chest. Even with my six inches heel, he still towered above me. The upbeat disco music changed to a slow ballad as he held me and we moved slowly to the music

I tilted my head so I could look at him "Why are you being like this?"

"Like how?"

"Why are you acting nice to me"

"Am I not supposed to act nice to you. Where you expecting any other reaction from apart from love and care. After all you are my wife" he said smiling widely.

"I'm not your wife anymore" I said with courage

"But you are my love. I have the papers to prove it"

"We are getting a divorce"

"No, we are not my love. Don't you remember our vows for better or for worse till death to us part. You might have been away for a long time but your back now and that's all that matters. We will live together" he smirked at me. I tried to free myself from him but he just held me tighter

"I'm never getting back with you again. I would get the best lawyers and get a divorce" and he burst out laughing

"It seems you don't know who I am. Incase, you don't know let me tell you. I'm the richest man present in this place and in this city and so I have everybody in the palm of my hands. I can destroy you and your business in the twinkle of an eye"

"Are you threatening me?"

"Why would I threaten my wife baby" his fingers moved up my spine igniting sparks.

"What do you want Danté" he smirked at me

"The only thing I want right now is to take you to my room and f**k you senseless till you c*m screaming my name" he said lowly. I clamped my thighs together.

I wouldn't lie. I always loved when Danté spoke dirty me and whenever he did, we always ended up making love till the next morning. I smiled inwardly as I remembered those moments.

Snap out of it. You barely just returned and you are already thinking of jumping into bed with him.

I cleared my throat

"I won't have s*x with you. If that's what you are implying"

"You and I both know I can have hot and satisfying s*x with you whenever I want" I scoffed and an idea came to my mind. I used my heels and stamped on his foot with force.

"Ouch"

"Oh sorry, I guess I missed my steps" I smirked and he glared at me. Just then the music stopped and somebody took the mic.

"I'm going to get back at you" he said and I smiled as I went to take my seat.

"Welcome all to this great event. This ball was organised to help raise money for children with cancer. So please let everybody participate in this donations. Thank you" the announcer said

Men and women started donating huge amounts of money. This donation was more like a place for them to show off their wealth than to help. I used my eyes to look for Danté and I saw him at the front row. I wonder why he had not donated

"Alessia" someone tapped my back and I turned to see Ekaterina. I smiled at her, I had not seen her since she left me with Danté.

"Please I need your help"

"How can I be of help?"

"So to help raise enough money we decided to auction women, so the highest bidders get to go on a date with the women"

"So where do I come in?"

"So, one of the women cancelled at the last minute and we don't have any other replacement and I could only think of you. Please would you stand in place of her" she begged

I didn't want to do this. I don't want to go on a date with the highest bidder but seeing Ekaterina begging like this. I just wanted to help her.

"Pretty please. Think about the children you would be helping" now she wanted to use emotional blackmail on me

"Fine"

"Yay, follow me" I walked behind her as she took me to the back of the stage and I met four other women. They were really beautiful and looked like models.

I was proud of my own body but I loved complimenting people.

"Alessia you would go last since you are replacing someone so you have enough time to get ready" Ekaterina said.

"So for the next phase of this event, we have beautiful ladies lined up and so the highest bidder would get a chance to go on a date with this beautiful ladies" the mem shouted and clapped

Perverts

"So the first lady we have on our list is no other than the beautiful Gemma. We are starting the bid with one hundred thousand dollars"

"Two hundred" another man said

"Four hundred"

"Four hundred going one......two.......three.....gone. And our highest bidder goes to No 54. The owner of Ardec Tech" everyone clapped. And it continued in that manner for the next three girls and I was next. I was getting nervous now.

"Who was going to pick me?" I thought

"Now, our last contestant for the night is no other than Alessia Tracey. She just came back to the states, she has her business in Italy. We are starting the bid with one hundred thousand dollars"

I just stood as I was being auctioned to the highest bidder. My eyes scanned the crowd and landed on Danté and he was staring at me already. He had a smirk on his face. We were staring at each other like we were the only people present in this place

"Five hundred thousand " the voice snapped me back to reality.

"Seven hundred thousand" an old man with missing teeth raised his cards.

"No,no," I prayed in my mind that he was not the highest bidder. I couldn't afford to go on a date with that old man. I might puke on him.

"Seven hundred going.......going......."

"One million" a familiar voice boomed in the crowd and he raised his card

Danté.

"One million going...going.....gone" everyone shouted and clapped

"And our highest bidder is no other than the richest, most handsome philanthropist and businessman Danté Agravano" everyone cheered. I went to the back stage and met Ekaterina

"You are so lucky. Do you know how many girls would kill to be in your spot" she said smiling. "I just knew there was a connection between the both of you"

"They can have him" I said

I went back to my seat and the host Nikolai took over the stage as he appreciated everyone that donated today. I checked the time and it was getting late, it was time to go. I walked to the entrance of the building and pulled out my phone to call my ride.

"Alessia" I turned around to see Danté walking up to me

"Are you leaving without telling me?" He raised his eyebrows

"I didn't come here with you"

"When are we going on our date?"

"There is no need for a date, you and I both know that the only reason you bid that much money was just because you wanted to show off" he laughed

"You really think that's why"

"Is there any other reason?"

"Let me drop you off" he offered

"No, my ride is here" the car stopped in front of me and I opened the door.

"My lawyers would be contacting yours soon" I entered and shut the door and the driver zoomed off

I closed my eyes and rested my head on the seat and hoped I won't fall for his charm again.
