After Divorce I Became A Zillionaire

Ava

I pulled away from the hug immediately Nicklaus left,

“Is that not your ex husband?” Chris asked pointing at the door through which Nicklaus left,

“Ohh please, come on Chris and by the way how did you find me?” I smile walking to my seat, he sat on the visitors seat while staring keenly at me

“It’s all over the news Ava besides why didn’t you tell me you’re back?”

“Sorry it skipped my mind, so what can I offer you?”

“Seriously you look so different” He chuckled not taking his eyes away from me, I know what Chris wants, but he will get his heart broken if he do not maintain the friend zone,

“You don’t expect me to look the same after four years” I said with an eye roll

“So tell me what wine do you want?”

“Anything you offer me is enough for me my lady”

I shook my head laughing at his craziness, I made a call and few seconds later Nicklaus walked in, his gaze went straight to Chris immediately but I could tell he was trying to look calm, not like I care though

“Get us a bottle champagne and two wine glass” He nodded and stare at me for a few seconds before he leftAll content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Chris was looking so surprise seeing how I just sent Nicklaus to get me wine, he kept looking at the door and back at me

“What just happened Ava? Don’t tell me you’re doing all this to get back at him

“Bingo!” I laughed applauding him

“You’re so smart Chris”

“Don’t you think you taking this too far, I mean you have enough money for yourself so why bother getting back at him”

I smirk, only I know how it feels to be treated the way I had been

“Do you know what I went through? You don’t even know half the pain that man caused me, this is just the beginning cause the worst is yet to happen” I spoke with so much pain staring at Chris

“And what if you fall in love with him again in this process?”

I chuckled swinging my seat from side to side

“And what makes you think that will ever happen again”

“Because you were once crazy over him, you literally lost yourself trying to please that man” He emphasize like he’s making me see some sense in his words

The door clicked open and Nicklaus walked in with a bottle of champagne and two glass of wine, he walked straight to my table and dropped it, he made to leave

“Serve us the wine!” I ordered making him halt on his step,

“Sure” He replied with smiles plastered all over his face,

“As I was saying Chris, my heart is locked out, I don’t have any space for love anymore in my heart, I buried the four letter word four years ago because of a certain person…..” I drawled the last line looking at Nicklaus, I could see regret all over his face as he opened the wine, he poured two glass separately, before serving mine and going over to serve Chris

“Anything else?” He asked after serving the wine,

“I’ll call you when I need your service” He nodded and left,

“You know you could have waited for him to leave before saying that ?”

“And why is that?”

“You’re making him feel worse Ava”

“He deserve it”

“Sure, listen Ava I know I want you so badly even after all this year’s, but judging from the look on that man’s face I think he’s a changed person”

“I thought you hated him before?”

“Hell! I did but after hearing how he suffered when you left, my heart melted come on I’m not a devil”

“Enough of Nicklaus talks it’s making me sick”

After spending hours with Chris he finally left, I kept walking on different document, signing contracts and replying to emails, I was tired but I’m used to overworking myself, I heard a knock at my door

“Come in” I said and focussed back to my laptop, the door opened and I look up and saw Nicklaus walked in with fancy nylon guess is lunch

He dropped it on my table and raised a brow at him

“I found out you’ve been working so much so I brought you lunch”

“Off course Mr Michaelson I’m working so hard cause it’s now my company unlike you who was lazy and useless to allow the company crumble”

“It’s your favorite” He smile acting like I didn’t just ridicule him right now

“Excuse me how did you know my favorite”

“I have my ways” He smirk smiling sheepishly, four years back I would have melted for those smiles but not anymore, it’s too late

“And what makes you think I would eat this?”

”I hope you will” He muttered lowly staring at his feet,

“Open it” I ordered and his eyes widened in excitement, he opened the food and the sweet smell of pasta filled my nose, poor food will be going to waste

I stood up and walked around my table with the food in my left palm, I finally stopped before Nicklaus, leaning my back on my office table while he stood close to me

And slowly I release my hold on the food, it fell and splash on the floor

“Ava! You could have told me if you don’t like it, why waste it? I could have gotten you another one”

“Hmmm” I chuckled

“Another one, you forgot how you always throw my food away everytime back then? And you want me to eat yours? I made food for you when I was sick, but what did you do you threw it at me and made a fool of me, I burnt my hand several ties trying to cook for you but not for once did you notice instead you hurt me repeatedly” I turn around fighting my tears, I don’t want to look weak in front of him

“I swear Ava I regret all the things I did for you, punish me how you want but please don’t chase me away, give me a chance to write my wrongs”

“Clean this mess and leave my office”

“Ava!”

“Now!”
