The Billionaire's Ex Wife

Bad News Travel's Fast

Abigail's POV

The weeks away was wonderful and I was relaxed when I came back. I guess I needed some time away from the kids. I didn't even think about Theodore but as soon as I came back home, he was the first thing on my mind, we have been back for a few days now and Linda had just gotten word from her partner and it looks like Theo is not willing to sign the papers.

"Theodore is such a d***, I mean I don't get why he won't just do the right thing and give you want you want!" Linda said in frustration.

"So he won't sign the papers?" I asked Linda. I have been waiting for the papers to come through and Theodore won't sign.

"No, he said that he wants to talk to you, face to face before agrees, he said that we can do it the easy way or the hard way." Linda said.

"He can't do that..." I said in anger as o banged the table in anger.

" He can, you left him remember?" she asked me.

"Wow... so I don't have a choice... I have to go to New York." I said.

"You know that you will be taking a risk by going there right?" she asked me.

"I know but I can't really move on until I do this, it has been two years as I am sure that he has gotten over me by now. " I said.

"Well I don't know hey... this is a bad idea." Linda said.

"I don't have a choice, I have to go." I said.

"So are you going to tell him about the twins?" Linda asked me.

"No, he can't know about them, no one can." I said.

"What about Greyson? are you going to see him?" she asked me.

"Honestly I would like to, just so that he can see his son but it's not possible, at least not right now and besides, he is happily married last time I heard, he has another baby and family, showing up might actually cause problems for him. " I said.

The door opened and Tracey came rushing in, she was like a mad woman, she didn't even knock, she looked like she was not happy either.

"What's wrong?" Linda asked her.

"You have to see this." she said as she walked to the table. She took out her phone.

"I hope that you are not showing another limited edition designer bag." I said.

"I wish it was that... look at this." She said and handed me a phone. Looked at it and I couldn't believe what I was seeing, Theodore was with another woman. I know that I have filed for divorce but seeing him with another woman cut me deeper than any knife could ever. It was not easy for me to see the picture and to read that he has announced her to the whole world. Something he never did with me.

We got married and we didn't even get as much a small picture of us together in the press. I suppose I can conclude that Theodore has changed in a big way and I am not sure if it's for the best. I have seen him in the magazine's when I went grocery shopping, I suppose that now he is famous, something he hated. When we were together he didn't want to be in the public eyes, he wanted to keep things as low key as possible. He didn't want any attention on him and now it's like he lives for it.

"Let me see that..." Linda said and snatched the phones from my hand, I didn't even fight her, that picture broke me so much.

"That mother*** I mean you are not even divorced yet." Tracey said.

"Well it doesn't matter, Abigail is over Theo, that is why she filed for divorce." Linda said.

"This is the part where you agree with me friend..." Linda said. She was right, I was not supposed to care because we are getting a divorce and I wish it was that easy but it is anything but easy. I don't think I have really dealt with my feelings for Theo, I mean the feelings I choose to hide from my friends, feelings that I deny myself of, I have been concentrating on my kids so much that I shut my feelings down.

"Yeah you are right, it doesn't matter." I said and acted like I was okay when every part of me wanted to scream.

"Good, because we are doing this, I know you said that you don't want anything from him but he is the father of your twins and he has to play his role." Linda said.

"I have been telling her to take what's owed to her, that is half of everything he owns, your children will be set up for life." Tracey said.

"Guys I hear what you are saying but I don't really need his money, I still have a lot of money left, enough to raise my kids and even send them to college. I just want a divorce." I said and even though my lips moved, my heart was saying something else.

"Look at this way, if you don't get half of that money, that b** in his arms is going to take it, you might not want it but your children deserve it. " Linda said.

"You know that I can take her our right?" Tracey said. I know that she can do that, she has the skills but I am not about to put a hit on someone I don't know.

"What? No! just leave her alone." I said.

"Who is she anyways?" Linda asked.

"Well the article said that she is Diana Fields." Tracey said.

"Found her..." Linda screamed and came with her phone.

"You Googled her didn't you?" I asked her.

"Yes and she is on, IG, on twitter and f*******:, I am going to follow her everywhere." Linda said.

"Good idea, I'll do the same, you know I have a lot of accounts." Linda said.

"Can you two stop it?" I said to them. This is the last thing I want, now they might be stalking her and I don't want that.

"Well we have to see your competition." Tracey said.

"She is not my competition." I said.

"Abigail we have been friends from College and I know that you want to do this and that the only reason you are not doing it is because you think that it's wrong, well we don't think it's wrong at all, we have to see what she does..." Linda said.

She is right, she has known me for a long time and she knows that I would have probable done it at the end, she is saving me the trouble of having to do that by doing it themselves.

"It says here that is she a doctor..." Linda said.

"So what? You are a badass lawyer." Tracey said.

"You know what? you too are going to drive me crazy." I said to them.

"We are trying to help you out here, I mean if you want a divorce then she is a non issue but if you still want to go back to Theodore then we need to know what she is up to, at all times." Linda said.

"You two are impossible... I need to fetch my son from school." I said.

"No you don't, you just want to get rid of us, he has a piano class afterschool then martial arts training after that, I know his schedule." Tracey said.

"Tracey you do know that you don't have to keep on protecting us right? I mean it has been two years and he still hasn't found us and don't worry, I am not going back to him." I said.

"Good but I am still checking up on the b** "

"Fine if you are going to stay can you both just stop talking about Theodore." I said.

"Fine we can stop." Tracey said.

"Fine then, ice tea anyone?" I said.

"You can bring it by the pool." Tracey said as they both walked to the pool. I went to the kitchen to get us some ice tea, my mother was in there.

"Hey mama, I thought that you were lying down." I said and went to the fridge

"I was but I got thirsty and came out for a glass of water." She said.

"Okay, I came get this. " I said and took out the tea in the fridge and some ice cubes.

"So he won't sign the papers?" my mother asked me.

"Nope..." I said.

"So what are you going to do about it?" she asked me.

"Well mama I have been thinking..." I said.

"About why baby?" She asked me.

"I think that I am going to go to New York and make him sign the papers." I said.

"Are you sure you want to see him?" she asked me.

"Honestly... no but I might not have a choice, maybe now that he has a girlfriend." I said.

"When did that happen?" she asked me.

"I don't know but Tracey showed me the pictures... Did you know that he now runs a charity organisation? Maybe people really do change." I said.

"I doubt it honey..." She said.

"I know mama..." I said and felt something dripping down my face. I turned around and wiped it so that my mother doesn't see. I don't even know why I was crying like this.

"I am sorry baby but men like that don't change." she said.

"I know mama..." I said. I took a deep breathe.

"Abigail I have asked you this before and I will ask you again... are you really sure that this is what you want? Greyson was not there for his son but there's still time for Theo, he might be a dangerous man but he will not hurt his own kids.

Abigail I know that you are a twenty first century with a lot of options but baby, I shouldn't have kept you away from your father, these things are hard for me to say but these kids needs a father figure in their lives, I know that you think that he is a bad man and even though people never change, he was a great father to Martin." she said.

"Mama I can do this on my own, you are right, I am a twenty first century woman and I have a lot of options, I don't need a man in my life for validation." I said.

"Really? I have been single since I gave birth to you, I thought that I could do it alone because I was doing this for you but even then I need to admit that it was not easy, a mother can only do so much. " She said.

"I don't know mama, what if he wants to take them away from me? I can't let him take my babies away from me. " I said.

"Honey we will fight him in court, we will get the best lawyers that money can buy, he will not take your kids away from you, I will make sure of it." my mother said.

"I'll think about it." I said to her and took the tray outside. Tracey and Linda where both in their seats.

"Ahh finally... it's hot out here." Tracey said.

"I'm sorry I took long, mama was in the kitchen." I said.

"Okay, did you tell her about Theo and his new boo?" Linda asked me.

"Yes I did and remember that we promised that we were no longer going to talk about Theo...'" I said.

I didn't want to talk about Theodore but I couldn't stop thinking about him, I wished that I could just switch off the part that thinks about him but I can't. I wonder what is going to happen when I see him, is he going to ask me to stay? If he does then would I be able to resist him? Can I really say no to him this time around, especially since I haven't seen him in a couple of years. I suppose I want to go more now that he has someone. Mama was right. I have to tell him about the twins.

He was a really good father to Martin and I have no doubts that he would have been a good father to our kids. For the first time in two years, I question my decision to run away like that, especially since I was pregnant. Yes he is a killer but that man loved me enough to forgive me for sleeping with Greyson. I realised that I might have not thought this through like I was supposed to, I was scared and I had a lot of things going in my head at the time.

"Abby... hey where did you go to just now? I have called you like three times already." Tracey said.

"I'm sorry, what were you saying?" I asked her.

"I was telling Linda that she kind of looks like you." Tracey said.

"What?" I asked her, I was confused because I had zoned out for a few minutes, I don't even know what they are talking about right now.

"I mean this Diana woman, I mean look at her features, yes she is a lot thinner than you but look at her, she has your eyes, your natural hair colour, thick lashes... I think that he is litterally trying to replace you with yourself." Tracey said.

"Ladies please excuse me." I said and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Linda asked me.

"I am going back home." I said.
