Mr. CEO - You're Dumped Chapter Two Elizabeth’s P.O.V I got to Richard’s place few minutes after leaving the hospital and met his mum outside the house and I figured her son must have called her to let her know what happened at the hospital. “What are you doing back here so early? Aren’t you going to stay at the hospital and look after husband?” She teased as I walked past her into the living but she dragged me back by the arm and raised her hands to slap. “Don’t you dare?” I caught her arm in mid air and gave her a threatening look that startled her as she leaped backwards a bit from where I stood. “Just in case your son hasn’t informed you Mrs. Lim, we are no longer a married couple as from today and that means I won’t be backing down next time you attempt to harass me” I saw her eyes glare with fear as she watched me make my way into the living room and up to Richard’s bedroom. I sat on the bed for awhile and took a deep breath, taking in the room once more and a smile formed on face. “I can’t believe he actually thought I was here for his money. Men can really be so full of themselves” I giggled as I stood up and made way to the wardrobe to pack my clothes. I went through my files and found the divorce papers which he asked Lillian to prepare for the both of us the very first day she came back into his life and I signed it, leaving it with his butler. I took out my phone to make a call and before I could dial the number, the person I had in mind called me. “Hello Elizabeth… you seem to be enjoying your married life” “I wish I was but unfortunately, play time is over for me and I should really attend to more pressing matters” I replied with a smirk on my face. “That’s lovely to hear. So where should I meet you?” “Come pick me up at the Grande Suite Hotel tomorrow morning. I might lodge there for the night and yes, do send me Michigan 5.9 watch. I want to give to my husband as a parting gift” “Wow… you’re pulling out all the stunts huh? You do know that watch costs over a million dollars” “I know. It’s just a reminder that I was never here for his money” “Alright then, I’ll place the order and give them the address. See you tomorrow”. I end the call and took a quick glance around the room once more to be sure I wasn’t leaving anything behind and I picked up my bags with the help of the butler and left the house without any further delay. Richard’s P.O.V “Your vitals are very good Mr. Richard, it seems Mrs. Lim really did a good job in taking care of you while you were hospitalized. By the way, where is she?” the doctor asked scanning the room carefully like though she might be hiding somewhere. “Oh, she went home a bit early. Lillian here will assist me for the rest of the day” I smiled as the doctors’ attention fell back on me. “So doctor when do you think he will be cleared to go home?” Lillian asked smiling as bright as the early morning sun. “Well actually he is cleared to go home whenever he wishes now. All he has to do is sign the receipt of p*****t of his hospital dues” the doctor said and I was stunned at his statement. “Receipt… but doctor, I haven’t even made p*****t yet” I muttered with a confused look as the doctor laughed vigorously. “It’s fine Mr. Lim; a lady came in earlier this morning and cleared your bill with the hospital. She asked to remain anonymous as she didn’t want much attention to her name” The doctor brought out the receipt from the many files which he carried and handed it to me to sign and authorize the p*****t and I looked at Lillian who simply urged me to sign it. “Alright then Mr. Lim, you’re all set to go home and do ensure to get enough rest once you return. I advice you avoid going to the office for at least a week or two besides, I’m pretty sure Mrs. Lim will be able to handle the office affairs while you’re recovering properly” said the doctor as he made way for the door, “Alright sir; thank you Doc” I smiled as he left the room. I turned to Lillian once more and she ran into my arms and squeezed her body on mine for almost a minute before letting go. We both left the hospital together without actually carrying a single bag because Elizabeth had already sent all of my belongings home and honestly, that was one time about her that was useful to me; her sense of service and responsibility. We arrived home around midnight because Lillian kept bugging the driver to make unnecessary stops along our way home so she could order us food and drinks to celebrate at home. My mum had already turned in for the night and so had the rest of the servants except for my butler, Mr. Francis. “Welcome home Mr. Lim” he smiled as he took the food items which Lillian had gotten for us on our way home. “Thank you Mr. Francis. Where is Elizabeth?” I asked with a frown on my face. “Ah yes. Miss Elizabeth left earlier today. She asked me to give you this papers” he said as he produced the divorce papers to my sight and I saw the happiness in Lillian’s eyes immediately she saw Elizabeth’s signature on it. “I also got a delivery from her for you” Mr. Francis added as he produced a classy watch for me which I was stunned to see. “She got me a Michigan 5.9” I gasped as I stared at the brand new watch which Mr. Francis had given. “Lillian, could you head on to the room, I need to take care of some unfinished business before I meet you there” I asked her and she quietly obliged. I took out and phone and called Elizabeth and after four unreturned calls, she answered. “I heard you left this afternoon” I said making sure there wasn’t a hint of care or affection in my voice. “Yeah I did. I signed the divorce papers just like you wanted and from the sound of your voice, I figure that Mr. Francis has given them to you” she said sounding so neutral yet I could sense the concern in the tone of her voice “Send me your bank account details. I want send you fifty million as a settlement for all your troubles” I said but she giggled over the phone. “You still think it was about the money, don’t you? Anyway, our wedding gift costs a total of five hundred million and if you think you could top that, then call again and ask for my account details or better still, send the fifty million to the less privileged home. I’m very sure they’d appreciate” she said and with that the call ended. I was lost in thoughts and confused. Elizabeth was just a poor and filthy nurse when I met her and paid her to marry me. Could she have been hiding something from me? “Richie… I’m waiting for you’’ came Lillian’s voice from the bedroom and I walked up to go stay with her but my heart was still troubled and I was hell bent on finding out who Elizabeth truly was.
