Pregnant For Her Invalid Ex Husband

3 - divorce your husband

Selena's POV

"She's so hardworking, but doesn't even earn as much as an intern."

"I heard they cut her salary in half for no reason at all and now she has been demoted to a mere team leader."

"I wonder why she won't quit even though her family is rich .."

I blocked out the 'very audible whispers' of my colleagues as I stormed my way up to the CEO's office.

"Is the CEO in?" I asked the secretary who was applying red lipstick.

"Yes, but he has a guest right now," she got up in a fit and tried to block my way, but I pushed her aside and banged the door in.

"Like I care!"

"Damn it, who is there?" A female who I recognize as the colleague who took my place as managing director of the marketing department jumped from Kevin's laps as she hurriedly adjusted her clothes and ran out of the office, not before glaring at me though.

"What brings you here all red and full of fury, please have your seat," he said without a tinge of remorse or self awareness on his face as he wiped the smugged lipstick on his lips and adjusted his tie.

"What is the meaning of this?" I slammed the paper in my hand on his desk and he gave it a fleeting glance before smiling back at me.

"I don't know everything that's going on in the company, I'm the CEO," he shrugged

"Don't play with me, i know it was you who issued the directive for the demolition of Hope Orphanage Home for the marketing campaign scheduled for next month!" I said enraged and he got up and gave the paper another look before flinging it aside.

"Oh that?" The look in his eyes were amused as they glistened in mischief, "I guessed that you would come to me yourself if I tried that angle and I was really right. What is so good about a scumbag that can't even afford to repair his bicycle tires?" He asked with displeasure laced un his tone. But I wouldn't let just anyone insult my husband like that.

Especially not an ex that was full of s**t.

"My married life is none of your business, so you should back off and leave this orphanage home alone!" I barked but only for a brief moment did he look startled before that amused expression returned to his face as he spoke softly.

"It's you who should back off from that fruitless marriage and come to me. Let me take care of you and give you the life and pampering that you deserve," he said as he reached out to hold my hand.

I jerked it off the table immediately and glared at him.

"Are you a child? Don't you know that you shouldn't try to take what's not yours? I'm married and I love my husband, you have no rights whatsoever to come in-between us."

"Even if we dated in college? We were so in love, don't forget how you would do everything except that one thing for me."

"So you cheated! Is that a valid excuse for you?" I scoffed at his lack of remorse.

I knew that if I gave in to him, I would just be another prize that he has won after and I would never let myself be subjected to something like that.

"Is it about the women? Okay, I will stop seeing them, when we marry you're the only one I will have in my eyes anyways, just divorce that bastard and come to me," he opened his arms wide with a smile and only a gullible person would run into that entrapment.

"My husband is not a bastard and I will not divorce him so take your eyes off!" I warned

"Well then," he fell back into his leather chair and swerved it left and right before setting his gaze back on me.

"I won't give up on you, Selena, so I would advice that you reconsider, or those children in the orphanage get thrown to the streets with no one to look after them. You know I can do that," he winked and I closed my eyes to swallow back the memories of how horrifying he had been in the past.

"Kevin. You don't have to be so ruthless, just find someone else. I'm not your only ex who is currently married," I pointed out in case this was a fettish of his, but he shook his head and walked to my side where I stiffened.

"It's you that I want and I will have you at all cost," he twirled the tip of my hair in his index finger before blowing on it, "I will continue to be this cruel and I will even turn into a monster if that's the only way to make you mine," he was bringing his hand to my shoulder when I stumbled backwards.

"You are sick!" I avoided his evil gaze as I walked up to the door.

"One week. You have just one week to sign these papers," he was right behind me in no time as he turned me to face him and pushed a pair of divorce papers in my hands.

I frowned as I saw mine and my husband's names.

"What is the meaning of this?"

"What does it look like? Divorce papers of course. I got them issued by the court wth your family's support, so you should sign it immediately so we can get married," he didn't look moved as he stared into my eyes.

"Isn't this against the law? You don't have our consent!"

"And what makes you think I need it?!" He smirked.

"Don't forget, you have just 7 days and within these seven days, I will continue with the proceedings to demolish the orphanage, so whether you will protect what your husband loves the most or not is up to you," he winked and turned him back, leaving me weak and helpless.

With the last strength I had in me, I muttered, "even if I divorce him and become single, I still won't choose ypu!"

"Leave that to me, after all,you chose me once in the past didn't? Just get divorced already, before I make any more drastic moves." With that I hurried out of office, and banged the door behind me

How can one human be full of this much mischieve.

He won't stop at anything to get what he wants and it just made me wonder if he was related to the devil!

I stomped my feet and made my way downstairs back to my workspace where I was told that I would have to travel out of the country for a whole month in four days time.

Which means thatl, I didn't have those seven days to think about it.

I was distracted for the rest of the day as I tried to think up something to keep us together, but now, even running away from the family was not a choice, because not only would he not have money to send to the orphanage, in truth, the orphanage might just never exist again.

Damned rich people, were they all like that?!
